The gang continued to visit Mal almost every day.

They brought her gifts and food and stories every time.

Ben brought thousands of warm kisses every single time.

Mal could not be happier than to have all these people who cared about her.

Maleficent reluctantly went back to her cell after visiting her daughter, plotting a better and wicked escape.

On the island, the Fairies and every magic user was hard at work rebuilding the destroyed hole in the barrier.

Something they should've done long ago.

"This whole ordeal wouldn't have happened if we repaired the barrier," said a fairy as they were building.

"Mal wouldn't have been kidnapped and tortured," said another.

"We had no idea this would happened," said Fairy Godmother.

"We cannot goof up like this again," said Tinkerbell. "Next time it could be an atomic bomb they catapult over!"

"And how are they going to build an atomic bomb with the little resources on the island?" asked a fairy.

"Well they did build a catapult," said another.

"The point is!" said Tinkerbell. "Is that we can never let this happen again!"

"And I can be sure that it won't," said Fairy Godmother. "Now hurry up with this building before any villain comes out and tries to do something."

"I actually haven't seen a single villain out on the island since we started building this morning," said a fairy.

"I heard from small talk that they are actually torturing their own children for torturing Mal as punishments," said another.

"I don't want to focus on torturing or even here the word torture right now," said Tinkerbell. "Not after what I saw what Mal went through."

"You didn't actually see her get tortured," said a fairy. "Just the result."

Tinkerbell was about to start an argument when Fairy Godmother blasted from her wand.

"ENOUGH!" she yelled. "We are going to finish this rebuilding and we are not going to have any more arguments!"

The fairies all sighed and nodded and all went back to work.


Later that day was the happiest moment for Mal since her whole experience.

The gang all sat on a hospital with Rapunzel while they watched her slowly sit on the side of her bed.

Her arms were all recovered and better, and now only had bandages.

Her body no longer hurt every time she moved it.

And now it was the test to see if she could stand and walk without crutches.

Mal let her feet dangle above the ground for a bit, staring down.

Her legs were no longer in casts.

Only wrapped in bandages that could be covered up by her clothes.

"You can do it Mal," said Ben. "Go on!"

Mal looked up and smiled.

Everyone was about ready to cheer her on, even Rapunzel.

And she didn't really want them to start chanting her name.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She then slowly began to slide off the side of the bed.

She felt her feet touch the floor, which was cold.

She once again hesitated, and then she slid entirely off the bed.

She felt slight pain and pressure from her knees and she stood.

But that was what mattered to Mal now.

She was standing.

She wasn't leaning on anything or using anything to hold her up.

She was completely standing on her own.

Everyone gasped and smiled at her.

She smiled too, and then she took another deep breath.

She slowly picked up one leg, feeling the slight pain on the other one again.

She winced a little, but she managed to take one single step.

Amazed, she did the same with the other.

She was walking.

She started out slowly, walking up and down, but then she found herself running and even jumping.

She laughed out happily as she practically danced like she was running in a field of flowers.

"She's fine," said Jay. "She full recovered!"

"Except for the bruises, bandages, and of course the scars that will never…" Chad began to say before everyone gave him an evil eye.

"Sorry," he said.

"She's going to be all right," said Maddy. "I knew she would.

"So did I," said Evie. "She is our best friend after all."

"And me three," said Ben. "Because she is my girlfriend and the love of my life."

They all laughed and watched Mal skip up and down the hospital wing.


The gang was now waiting outside the hospital wing while Mal was getting dressed.

Mal slowly put on her favorite outfit over her bandages.

It was the same outfit she wore so often back on the island and when she first came to Auradon.

She kept thinking about everything that happened on the island.

She knew those memories would never leave her mind.

They would most likely haunt her forever, especially when she would look at all scars on her body.

But she did know one thing.

It was never going to happen again.

She finished getting dressed and then walked out and met up with everyone.

Everyone smiled at her and she smiled back, directly at Ben.

"Now Ben," said Mal. "Time to give a proper standing up kiss."

Ben smiled and they both embraced one another tightly, and kissed each others lips.

Everyone smiled as the lovers finally had a proper kiss.

"I love you Ben," Mal whispered with her lips still on Ben's.

"I love you too," Ben said with his still on Mal's. "And I promise you I will never let anything like this happen to you again."

They both laughed and kissed repeatedly.

"Hey Ben!" said Evie. "Don't you want to show Mal something?"

Ben got off of Mal's lips and gasped.

"That's right!" he said. "Come honey! I want to show you something!"

He took Mal's hand and they went off running.

Everyone had to follow the two as they ran.


Ben and Mal ran through the hallways of the castle.

Mal thought she would never see them again.

"Slow down!" said Mal. "My injuries still hurt a little."

"Come on!" said Ben.

Soon enough, everyone was standing in front of the main throne room entrance.

"Ready?" asked Ben as he, Carlos, and Jay were up against the door.

"What is going on…" Mal said as suddenly they opened the door.

"SURPRISE!"

Mal jumped, almost hurting her already hurt self as the whole kingdom was in the throne room and it was set up for a party.

Music began playing and people cheered out.

"W…what is this!?" Mal gasped.

"A party for you!" said Maddy. "In honor of our victory and your safe return home."

"Oh my god," said Mal. "Th…thank you!"

"So babe," said Ben. "Are you too injured to dance?"

Mal laughed.

"NOPE!" she exclaimed.

She ran up to Ben and they both headed in to dance.

Everyone smiled as the party started.

"Welcome home Mal," said Audrey.

"Let's party!" yelled Doug.

Everyone cheered and ran in to join.


Mal is healed and a party is going on. Two more chapters left, and in the next one we will get an intense love scene. OMG! Stay tuned!

See you next update! Review please dearies!
