Today was the day. Ben was finishing getting himself ready. Today he was going to ask Mal to marry him. He looked at himself through his bedroom mirror.

"Looking good, King Ben."

Ben turns around and sees Rachel.

Rachel wore a white short sleeve shirt, a denim vest, light brown skinny jeans, and a shade darker brown boots. Her hair was down and curly.

"I thought you were going to dress up for this," Ben says.

Rachel gives him a look, "You're not proposing me to," She says, "Besides, since when do I take the pleasure in dressing up like most of the princesses here?"

Ben couldn't hold back his smile.

Rachel looks at him, "You ready?"

Ben kept his eyes on her, "Yeah."

"Nervous?" She asks.

"Totally," Ben chuckled.

Rachel stepped forward and kept eye contact, "And you're a hundred percent serious about marrying her?"

Ben nods, "Yes, yes. Rach, we've been over this." He says.

Rachel smiles, "I know. I just wanted to hear you say it." She says.

Ben lightly shoves her, "You're a jerk,"

Rachel kept her smile, "But I'm your jerk."

Ben and Rachel share a laugh together before turning to the mirror in Ben's bedroom. Next to the large mirror was a shelf that contain old photos from when Ben was younger with his parents, as well as photos with Rachel.

Rachel walked over to one photograph and picked it up.

"Who'd ever think that these little babies would grow up to be us?" She spoke.

Ben looks at the photograph in her hands. It was a photo from Rachel's sixth birthday. She was wearing a purple dress without shoes and her hair was in braids. Ben was wearing a sweater vest, khaki pants, and dress shoes. And they had cake all over their faces.

"Your parents were so mad at the mess we made," Ben laughs looking at the photo, "I could swear I had cake in my nose for a week."

Rachel smiles softly, "I couldn't believe I went through that phase of never wearing shoes," She says.

Ben kept his smile.

Rachel placed the framed photo back on the shelf and then turned to her dear best friend of her entire life.

"I'm so happy for you, Ben." She says and then quickly embraces him.

Ben was taken back for a moment but reacts by hugging Rachel back. He had his hands resting on her back and he rest his head on top of her head.

Ben and Rachel pull back from the hug and that is when Ben noticed the tears in Rachel's eyes. He wipes one tear that had slid down her cheek.

"Rach," Ben asks, "You okay?"

Rachel gives him a sad smile, "I'm- I'm so happy for you and Mal," She frowns, "But- But I am afraid everything is going to change."

Ben shakes his head, "Hey, hey. Just because I am going to propose to Mal doesn't mean she'll say yes."

Rachel punches his shoulder, "Of course she'll say yes."

Ben rubs his shoulder from where she punched him, "Ouch," He then adds, "Plus just because this big life changing event is going to happen doesn't mean anything changes with us, Rach. You're my best friend. You're my sister."

When Ben said that, Rachel's eyes widen.

"You mean that?" She asks.

"With all my heart, Rachel. You've been more than a best friend," He says, "I don't know what it's like to truly be a brother to someone, but I'd like to think its what we have together."

Rachel gives him a genuine smile, "God, you're so sappy."

Rachel starts rubbing her face to rid the tears on her face. Ben offers her a handkerchief but Rachel declined.

Rachel looks back at him after she gathers her thoughts and stop herself from getting remotely anymore emotional.

"She's outside looking for Uma." Rachel says, "That's why I came here."

Ben nods, "Thanks, Rach."

Rachel gives him a soft smile, "Good luck," She says, "Not that you need any."

-D3-

Ben sees his girlfriend looking in the direction of the ocean with binoculars. She was dressed beautifully, but he always thinks she's beautiful.

Ben walks over and placed both hands on her shoulders.

Mal jumps a little and turns to see Ben. She lowers her binoculars on the castle balcony. She glanced back at the ocean.

"Not a tentacle in sight," Mal.

Ben moves to stand next her, "I think if Uma was up to something, it'd be done by now." He says.

Mal glanced at him, "No, Ben, I know how villains think, and I don't trust Uma as far as I can throw her. She's gonna wait until our defenses are down and then that's when she's gonna strike. I really wish I had time to go do a dragon flyover, because I can go much higher."

Ben looks at her, "Well, you can't be everywhere at once. Besides, I got your back. Come on, everyone's waiting for us." He says and holds onto her hand.

"Wait," Mal says trying to stay, "You're getting more guards."

Ben nods, "I'm getting more guards," He says, "Now, breathe. Come on."

Mal gives in, "Okay."

As Mal and Ben round the castle and sees a large gather of her peers and staff of the school. Mal was a little confused, this couldn't just be for the welcoming of the new villain kids coming to Auradon.

"Here they come," Evie says to the band.

The band began to play a familiar melody that Mal recognizes the moment she heard the first tune. It was the instrumental to the song Ben sung to her after she had spelled him.

Meanwhile, as the two begin to head over to the stage in front of the large gathering, Rachel stood next to the VKs. Carlos held Jane's hand while both were beaming, Jay crosses his arms on his chest with a small smile, Evie held Rachel's hand as they both shared smiles, and Doug played with the others in the band.

Meanwhile, Audrey stood with her grandmother and Chad across from them. Audrey, despite the new look, still seemed to harbor some grudge feelings towards the happy couple.

"Oh, stay." Fairy Godmother told Mal.

Mal looks confused, "Stay here?" She asks.

Mal looks a bit overwhelmed as Ben stood next to her.

Fairy Godmother nods, "Yes." She pulls the microphone to her mouth, "Bippity-boppity, one-two, one-two, can everybody hear me?"

People in the audience either clapped and cheered, some yelled, and a few gave a thumbs up. Fairy Godmother nods and and has a smile on her face.

"Yes!" She exclaims, "Ben,"

Fairy Godmother hands the microphone to the king. He takes the microphone with elegance and grace, just as a king would.

"Thank you, Fairy Godmother," Ben says to the woman before he puts the microphone towards his mouth, "What's up, Auradon?"

After he asked the question the audience went crazy. They were screaming and cheering. Ben motioned for them to quiet down, to which they did.

"Thank you, thank you so much for coming out to welcome our new arrivals. They'll be here soon." Ben says.

Mal glanced back and forth, she wasn't fully aware that they were going to make such a big deal over the arrival of the new villain kids, but she supposed this was how Ben would've preferred. Having the kids be welcomed by people at their sides than against them like how it was for Mal and the others.

Queen Leah in the crowd crosses her arms on her chest, "Not like we had a choice." She frowns.

Ben while on stage holds onto Mal's hand with a great big smile on his face. Mal looks up at him and also smile.

"It worked out pretty well for the first four," Ben says.

"Yeah, especially for you." Chad says.

Audrey frowns, "Real funny." She says.

Back on stage, Ben turns to direct his focus directly at Mal. As if it were only them, but it wasn't. It was the entire school standing there watching them. Fairy Godmother a few feet away.

"Mal, this is the exact spot we first met not so long ago. I feel like I've known you my whole life." Ben says.

Mal gives him a smile.

"But did I mention I'm in love with you?" Ben spoke.

Ben backs a little away and then Mal heard the guitar playing the melody of the song Did I Mention. She glanced over to see Evie standing close to Doug with Rachel at her side, Carlos let go of Jane's hand and stood next to Doug.

Mal covered her mouth as she watched Ben reach into his pant pocket.

"I met this girl that rocked my world, like it's never been rocked. And now I'm living just for her, and I won't ever stop." Ben sings to Mal.

Ben sees the smile and just pure shock on Mal's face. She glanced over to her friends, now all the VKs and Fairy Godmother along with Ben's parents were harmonizing with Ben. He spun her around and he just couldn't take his eyes off how pretty and happy Mal looked.

"I never thought it can happen to a guy like me, but now look at what you've done. You got me down on my knee." Ben sings.

And after he sung the last part he was down on one knee. He hands the microphone to Carlos, and he reaches for the box.

Meanwhile, Audrey had a devastated look on her face as she reached for either her grandmother or Chad.

"Mal, it's you and me. It's you and me forever. Will you marry me?" He opens the ring box, "Will you be my queen?"

Audrey from the side lines, "No-!"

Rachel glanced over to Audrey. Rachel could see the hurt in her eyes, to which it made Rachel raise her eyebrows in confusion. But Rachel turned back to the proposal.

Mal nods, "Yes!" She exclaims.

Mal then had the ring placed on her finger and then embraced Ben on the stage. Meanwhile, everyone around was cheering and clapping.

Doug glanced at Evie, "Makes our movie night seem a little tame."

Evie smiles and looks at him, "I love you- uh movies." She flustered.

Doug smiles, "Me too."

"Yeah," Evie says awkwardly.

Rachel glanced at them and then back to the newly engaged couple.

Across from them, Queen Leah did not seem too thrilled with the newly engagement of Ben and Mal.

"A lifetime of plans. Gone. Our family status gone." Queen Leah turns to Audrey with disgust in her eyes, "Audrey, you were supposed to be his queen, and you let him slip through your fingers. Your mother could hold onto a prince in her sleep."

Audrey frowns, "Don't you think I feel bad enough already, Granny?" She asks.

A few people from behind them were excited with the engagement of Ben and Mal. Audrey was getting fed up with people being so happy with that, that was suppose to be her.

"Ben and Mal are the best!" One says.

"I'm so excited for Mal to be our queen," Another says.

Audrey turned around and glared at them, "You'd rather have a VK on the throne than me? What is wrong with you people? What is wrong with everybody?" She groans.

-D3-

Mal and Ben were getting off the stage and quickly the newly engaged couple were being met by their close friends and family.

Ben was hugged first by his mom and dad, while Mal was hugging Evie tightly.

"You knew, didn't you?" Mal asks.

Evie smiles, "Guilty." She says, "Rachel and I did a lot of the planning."

Rachel shakes her head, "Don't do that." She turns to Mal, "She did all the work. I just assisted."

Mal smiles, "Either way, thank you."

Rachel and Evie were then hugged by the two of them.

"You'll make a good ruler, Mal." Rachel says as she pulls back from the hug.

Mal gives Rachel a smile, "Thank you."

Rachel walks towards Ben.

Evie smiles at Mal, "You're gonna rock that crown," She says, "Okay, so I've done about a thousand sketches of your wedding dress, and Belle's already planned an engagement party next week!"

Mal smiles, "It's a really good thing I said yes." She says.

Belle goes over to Mal and hugs her tightly.

Meanwhile Rachel goes over to Ben. Ben was finishing hugging Jane and giving Carlos a high five, when he turned around to see Rachel there.

"Rach," Ben says, "It worked."

Rachel punched his shoulder, "I knew it would, your majesty." She says.

Ben rubs the arm she punched, "Please stop doing that." He says.

"Why, cause I'm too strong for you." She says.

Ben sees her smile and then the two hug.

When Rachel and Ben parted from their hug they see as the VK's partly tease but also congratulate Mal on the engagement.

But then coming over was Audrey.

Audrey poked Mal's back, which caused Mal to turn around to face her.

"Audrey," Mal starts.

Audrey crossed her arms on her chest, "Congratulations. You won him fair and square." She then shakes her head, "Oh, wait, no you didn't. You spelled Ben to destroy all of Auradon. Touching story for the grandkids."

Mal gives an awkward smile and then noticed Ben motioning her that it was time to go.

"Speaking of kids," Mal says, "We have some kids waiting on us, so excuse me."

Audrey glares as Mal turns her back on her and head out.

The entire audience watches as the VKs and Ben climb into the purple limo and take off the Isle of the Lost.

Rachel's eyes move from the purple limo fading away and then to Audrey.

-D3-

After they've left, there was a large monitor screen to let everyone at Auradon Prep watch as the new VK kids were being brought from the Isle.

Rachel excuses herself from Jane and Doug to go over to Audrey.

When Rachel reached Audrey, she didn't bother to greet Queen Leah, instead she grabbed Audrey's arm and drag her a few feet away.

"Ouch, Rach." Audrey whines, "Since when did you have such a strong grip?"

"Since always," Rachel says, "And what was that all about?"

"What?" Audrey asks, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"The proposal. Your reaction." Rachel says, "Audrey, you and Ben have been over for a long time. I thought you've gotten over him."

Audrey then shoves Rachel forward, "It isn't that simple, Rachel. You wouldn't understand." She then scoffs, "Your parents are so hippy like with their weird lifestyle that I wouldn't even count you as a real princess."

Rachel frowns at Audrey's insult, "I'd rather be considered a fake princess than a real one if you are what a real princess is suppose to be. Mean, stuck up, and a brat." She says, "I'd rather have Mal as queen than a self-centered princess."

And with that, Rachel walked off.

Audrey was stunned.

Although it didn't last long because the monitor showed as the group was leaving the Isle, Hades tried to break out the barrier.

Hades attacks the boys, Carlos and Jay, sending them flying back.

As Jane watched from Auradon, she covered her mouth with concern. She glanced over at Rachel to see Rachel's hand slowly reaching for her mouth.

Mal transformed into dragon form and start to battle with Hades, only for him to use an ember to seemingly weaken Mal. She transformed back to her human form and the barrier closed, leaving Hades trapped on the Isle.

"Ben jinked it," Rachel muttered to herself, "I definitely think things are going to be changing here."
