Okay. This is the last one of this series. I know most of you don't want it to end, but I want to focus more on my other stories (er, story). So, I tried my best for this one. Just keep that in mind.
Mal exhaled as she stared at the scenery in front of her. She sat on top of the roof of the school in the darkness of the night. While she was there, she was thinking of how much she's changed since she first came to Auradon. When she was living in the Isle, she was this big, intimidating bully everyone feared, but now she's the friendly, half-fairy dating the king. Before, she would've never thought she'd ever date someone like Ben. Or date anyone at all. All her life, she's been taught that love was a distraction.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a bang from the side of the building. She looked over to find Evie, Jay, and Carlos climbing up towards her.
"There you are! We've been looking for you for over an hour," Evie exclaimed as she propped herself next to Mal.
"What are you doing up here anyway?" Jay asked, sitting on the opposite side of Mal.
"Nothing much. Just thinking," Mal answered.
"About what?" Evie asked.
"Our lives. How different we are now. What we learned," Mal replied. "I discovered love."
"I found out I can be smart and pretty," Evie stated.
"I learned about teamwork," Jay added to their conversation.
"And I need help getting up," Carlos informed, bringing his friends' attention to him.
Evie, who was the closest to him, grabbed his hand and helped him onto the roof as Mal and Jay snickered. Carlos ended up sitting next to Evie as Mal started talking again.
"We became good," Mal stated. "It felt weird at first-"
"It still feels weird," Jay added.
"Yeah," Mal replied, smiling a little.
"Do you ever miss your parents?" Carlos asked.
"I do," Evie answered. "I love her even when she said I wasn't pretty enough for a prince."
"Now that's love," Jay commented. "I kinda miss my dad."
"I think we all miss our parents, even a little," Mal said.
She turned to look at Carlos.
"Right, Carlos?" she asked, knowing how little he missed his mother.
"Y-yeah. I guess you're right," Carlos answered, hesitantly.
On the Isle of the Lost, Cruella made Carlos do chores 24/7. She never showed any real affection towards her son, and Carlos would sometimes do the same, but he can't help but care for her even a little bit.
"You and Ben doing alright?" Evie asked Mal.
"Yeah. We're alright," Mal answered.
"And Jay," Evie began, grinning. "Is Audrey treating you right?"
"Butt out," Jay retorted, causing the girls to laugh.
"Hey, if she ever does something bad to you, just call me and I'll put a curse on her," Mal told him.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Jay asked, smirking.
"She's fun to mess around with," Mal replied.
The four smiled at each other, then stared at the night sky as the stars shimmered brightly. Carlos took his gaze off the sky and focused it on his friends. He could barely recognize them anymore after being in Auradon for a year.
"We've changed." Carlos said, turning his friends' attention to him.
"Of course we have. We're good now, remember?" Mal replied. "What's so bad about that?"
"Our past selves would laugh at us. They'd never believe we turned good," Carlos stated.
Evie wrapped one arm around him and said, "Let them laugh. They're going to be us anyway."
In response, Carlos wrapped his arm around the blue-haired girl and smiled. Mal did the same, linking her arm to Evie's and to Jay, who repeated this action. They sat there staring at the horizon. They could see a city, an ocean, and if you squint, you can see an island. Their home.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. That's it. I hope you liked it. Thank you guys for reading my oneshot series. And thanks for also reviewing.
