Shoutout to: KidOfHephesteaus for correctly saying that also in the Percy Jackson franchise demigods have ADHD and Dyslexia like Rylan!

So.

Wow.

Words do not even explain the outpouring of love I have had for this story. This story has been really hard to write at times and honestly y'all are the reasonI keep writing. Your amazing reviews and suggestions. Thank you!

I have sad news for this chapter.

I only have 12 planned out chapters. And by planned out, that includes the end of the story. Chapter 11 and 12 should have 5,000 to 7,00 words though lots of content at the end.

I will make one-shots as I can. It all just depends.

School has been really hard for me, so thank you for being patient with me.

Chapter Summary:

Family Day!

Jude is punished for what he did. Rylan and Aria get to video call their mom. She explains the attack that Maleficent is planning on Auradon. She gets cut-off and has to hang up. Although they are worried, the AK's continue to put on family day, with a performance by all of the children of the core four's children, that they ask Rylan and Aria to join in on. Hannah and Aria sing a song, and Rylan is asked to give a speech about the importance of VK's and what it was like to live on the isle.

Jude knew why he was being called to the office. He knew that they had found the footage, he knew that little sevie had snitched on him. When he got to the office, he saw Rylan there, with Jane, Finn and Halan.

"Jude, your parents are on their way." Said Jane with a frown.

Jude put his head down and stared at his feet.

About five minutes later, Jay and Lonnie had arrived and they were seated in Jane's office. Around the desk, there was Jay, on the left, Lonnie on the right, and Jude in the middle. To the left, on the side of the room sitting was, Halan, Finn and Rylan. Each holding different parts of the stick.

Jane spoke up.

"Jude? Why? You're a good kid, you have been raised right and Rylan didn't do anything wrong."

Jude didn't answer. Jane turned to the boys on the side of the room.

"Boys, when you returned to your dorm what did you see?"

Halan spoke up.

"Rylan was out to lunch witch Carlos, and we walked back to the dorms and as we came to our door, we looked down and we saw the stick," Halan stopped for a second and Finn chimed in.

"It as all the past teams from Auradon, Starting with my brother's freshman year until me. This years team signed it for me."

Finn stopped and looked to Halan.

"We found it all broken up." Halan finished and turned to Rylan.

"I came back down the hall and saw it in a big mess and then examined it more closely and saw all names scratched ut with permanent marker except for Jude's."

All of the boys nodded.

Jane looked to Jude and pleaded with him.

"Did you do this Jude? Do not lie we have the video." asked Jane.

Jude kept his head low and didn't want to look anyone in the eyes, that is until his father spoke to him.

"Jude, be a gentleman and look people in the eyes when they speak to you, Halan does."

That is when Jude snapped.

"Why does everything have to be about everyone else? Rylan scores two points and he is MVP, Halan looks people in the eyes and is a gentleman, Finn helps out a sevie and he is a god in the eyes of the team? Why? I am so sick of being ignored."

Jane looked surprised at his remarks, Jay spoke up.

"Son, you know the cheer we do, where we put our sticks in the middle, that signifies us being a team. Rylan is a part of that team, he worked hard to be here. I do not care if he is in seventh grade or a senior, he is valuable to the team as a whole, and he helped us win."

Jude continued to look into his father eyes before Jane called upon his.

"Jude, is there a punishment that you feel is necessary?"

His mother spoke up before he could suggest one,

"I say, we buy Rylan a nice new stick, and actually make that two, one to use in games, and the other one, we will go get signed by everyone."

Jude looked shocked and disappointed

His father spoke up as well.

"I also suggest three month suspension from the team."

Jude stood up and demanded justice for this.

"No! I will miss the play-offs!"

"Son, you did something against team and school policy, it is what is best." Jay paused before turning to Rylan.

"Is that okay Rylan?" asked Jay.

Rylan shook his head and Jane finished the meeting.

"Alright, that will be your punishment. Boys, you may go back to the dorms. Jude, please go get your jersey and give it to your father."

Two months later, it was now November 12th and Family Day was that very day!

Mal had told her kids that they should be crazy excited for Family Day. Mal, with help from Carlos, before she had kids, had learned how to get a cell phone to work on the Isle and how to video chat. She had been waiting for Family Day for a long time, in the morning the VK's got to go into a soundproof room, and get a call, or make one. They had felt bad for the core four, since they're parents had to be all together and they also had to be all together. Auradon had thankfully changed the system.

Rylan was thrilled about the whole Family Day idea, he was really starting to miss his mom. Aria wanted to her mom about the play they were putting on, and how cool it was, and of course how much they missed her.

At 10:45, Rylan met Aria outside of her dorm, Rylan was wearing his jersey and Aria was wearing her cast t-shirt, the play they were putting on was called "Marks", and below it shows a line with a silhouette of a bow and girl on opposite sides leaning up against the line. Aria was proud to say that the show was in two weeks, and she totally wasn't freaking out. Rylan's hair was combed up into a spike. Aria walked out of the dorms and presented herself to Rylan who smiled at her and pulled her into a hug, from his back pocket he pulled out a little picture of them together when they were little. Aria grabbed the picture and gasped.

"Where do you get this?" she demanded.

"Well, you know how phones work on the Isle, a mysterious number, a.k.a mom, texted it to someone because she can't text us unless it's family day, and that person was Casey and she printed it off. Happy Half-Birthday to us!"

Aria just looked at them when they must have been no more than five, Aria was wearing a shirt that said princess and Rylan was wearing a skull and bones shirt, and they were looking up at the camera with a toothless smile. Aria held the picture close to her chest before pulling Rylan to back into a hug.

"I love you so much Ry."

Rylan hugged back.

"I love you to Ar."

They sat there in the hall, just hugging. If they had no one else in the world on their side, they had each other.

They let go, and Rylan held his arm out to her to link,

'Wanna go see mom?"

Aria nodded profusely and they walked to the soundproof rooms they had set up.

They arrived to the room at exactly 11, and stood in a long line of VKs. They got them into a room and told them to stand in front of the TV and they did as they asked, the screen flicked on and said

"Please stand by."

The door closed, and then the TV flickered on.

Their mother appeared on the screen, her purple hair lighting the screen and her green eyes scanned them before realizing hey were there.

"Mom!" yelled the twins in unison."

"Ari! Ry!" yelled Mal back.

Mal immediately started to cry as she saw her kids, she saw Rylan's jersey and of course the cast -shirt on Aria.

"Aw, mom don't cry." started Rylan.

Mal started to wipe her eyes and laughed a little bit.

"I just miss you guys so much!"

"We miss you too mom." said Aria with a smile on her face.

Mal adjusted herself and then began to ask questions.

"My mom is out right now, so we have a little while."

The twins smiled. They hated their grandmother..

"What do you have?" they asked in unison then smiled at each other.

"Okay first, how are strawberries, I would die to eat strawberries again. Second, how are all my friends? Third, have you met your father? And finally, favorite parts of Auradon?"

Rylan decided to start.

"They are not the best, I like raspberries." said rylan with a troublemaking smile.

Mal looked shocked.

"Who are you and where have you taken my child?"

This caused everyone to laugh.

Aria decided to speak up.

"They are amazing, especially with chocolate all over them."

This caused Mal to smile at her daughter and realize that she had golden flecks in her eyes.

Rylan spoke up this time.

"Your friends, they are great. Evie talks about you non-stop and so does literally everyone else. Jay has a son named Jude, who broke my tourney stick, with signatures on it, and everything, and then he got suspended from the team. I did get a new stick, but it took a lot. Carlos, has a daughter and she's great." Mal looked shocked again.

"Jay's son did that? Jay is the best though! He would never raise a son like that!"

Aria nodded in agreement.

"Evie also has a son named Halan, who was great."

"Future king, in theory?' asked Mal.

They both nodded in agreement.

Aria decided to answer the final two questions.

"Well, dad, he kinda gets all emotional whenever we are around him. Like I am scared for today. But, hey he looks just like Rylan. Like when we first got here, everyone was shocked. My favorite thing is Casey, and the theatre. It is so good.

It is so big and honestly, I am so excited for you to see the play! Halan and I get to kiss."

Right then and there Mal's face went blank. She suddenly remembered her and Evie's conversations in their senior year. That she was going to have a girl, and Mal would have a boy and they would marry each other. It was funny how it was opposite. I mean, not that they were gonna get married.

Rylan snapped her back into focus and she heard him say.

'Yeah, I am on the soccer team, the tourney team, and try-outs for Swords and Shields is on the 21st."

Mal's face lit up as she heard the accomplishments of her son. Then she remembered something. She reached behind her back and pulled out a little sign.

"Happy Half Birthday! Twelve and a Half Years Ago, I got the craziest surprise ever, twins. I love you!" The sign was surrounded by pictures, them when they were babies, newborns and their mom was holding them in her arms and looking off into the distance. Them on their first days of school, and them on their most recent birthday, wearing crowns that Mal had found.

Aria and Rylan both gasped. They didn't even know they had pictures of them when they were little. They started crying.

"Aw, guys don't cry! When you come and get me, you can have all the baby pictures you want."

Rylan and Aria smiled, the thought of their mom being here with them, it seemed so appealing.

That is when Mal's face went from happiness, to seriousness.

"Okay, I only have a little while to tell you this. My mom is planning an attack on Auradon. She wants to use my power and then come to Auradon and get her staff back. She wants to have you guys in on the plan. She is planning the attack in around Christmas, so a little over a month. Just know-"

That is when the TV powered off and Rylan ran towards the Tv and angrily yelled at it.

"We didn't get to say goodbye! Turn back on! He banged his fist against the TV.

Aria walked up to him and pulled him away from the Tv, he hugged him, and in her arms, he started to sob, and alone in that room the two sobbed together.

"I just miss her so much Ari." said Rylan in between sobs.

She patted his back and said.

"I know Ry, I know."

You see, Mal was the best thing in their life besides each other. They had been alive twelve and a half years, and in those twelve years, they had heard about how grandmothers were supposed to bake you pies, and give you hugs, and love you. Their grandmother, hurt them. She made them forget things, if they didn't obey, she would hurt their mother. She would drain her power leaving her weak. One of the times, Aria had refused to say she wanted to be evil, and Rylan only had to not hurt his mom. She drained so much of her mom that she went limp and passed out, before Aria was smacked across her six year old face.

Mal had been their only hope for a long time, and their mom needed to be back in Auradon.

They stopped crying, but kept hugging and just held each other before there was a tender knock on the door, and when Aria answered

"Come inside." They saw Jane's sweet face, beckoning for them to come out and get ready for the rest of Family Day. They exited the room and went back to their dorms.

Rylan combed his hair similar to Halan, and was wearing a red button up shirt with black slacks. He wore black dress shoes. He had found all of the old letters he wrote to Finn and was planning on reading them all put together, on why VK day was important. Aria, was wearing a purple dress. A jacket, that apparently according to Rylan, their mom had worn on her first day in Auradon. She shrugged it off and began to prepare for her performance with the other kids of the core four, including Rylan and her performance with Hannah. Together, Halan, Aria, Casey, Finn, and rylan walked to the cultural hall where it had been decorated, with things to represent family, all of the walls. Aria's favorite sign was

"Forget the DNA."

Aria walked to the stage with Hannah, who was wearing her hair half up and half down, with a prototype of the dress Mal had worn to Ben's coronation, purple and went around her. They looked gorgeous.

Hannah talked into her mic, that was dangling near her mouth.

"The queen, Mal. This is to her. This song is called

"I Wish I Could Be Here With You"

Hannah started

I am gone, lost, away.

I look at where you are and decided that I want to be back.

I can't.

You tried to look, but I guess I am gone.

Aria picked it up.

You have children out there somewhere.

I hope we can find them soon.

Aria, and or Rylan.

It's funny we know people with those names.

Together the girls sang the final part.

I Wish I Could Be Here With You

With Evie, my best friend.

With Jay, the best guy.

Carlos, the sweetest.

Ben, I wish I could raise our child with you.

I Wish I Could Be Here With You

But, I can't

Maybe One Day Though

The song ended and everyone gave a long applause, Hannah left the stage and Aria stayed, all of the other kids of the core four came on, and sat down on their chairs.

They all had their head down.

One by one they lifted their heads and began to say things that throughout the years had been said about their parents. First starting with the VK's, Rylan and Aria represented Mal's kid, at least Aria did, and Rylan represented Ben's kid.

Halan lifted his head.

"You're just a cheater." he said it in a harsh tone. From the audience Evie looked a little bit hurt, remembering the time Chad had called her that.

Casey's head shot up and she looked mean. "You're just scrawny. No good at tourney."

Jude's head looked up. "You, you're a thief." Aria's head looked up. "You spelled Ben and made him love you."

This is when Rylan stood up and began to rea what he had sent to Finn all that time ago.

"Dear Finn,

Life here is no fun. Your people will always say that they want to visit but everyday I wake up at five, I am told I have to be evil. I am told I have to be bad. I cannot choose. Everyday Aria and I get hurt, physical, emotional." He stopped reading for just a second.

"I was seven when I wrote that. Aria and I were seven, and were being hurt every single day.

"Dear Finn, Aria and I's birthday is in a month, and we won't be getting anything. We might get a hug from our mom, and maybe if we are lucky some food. On your birthday, you will be showered in gifts and so much more, you will probably have a party, with all your friends. Aria is my only friend. We won't get cake."

Rylan looked up and almost started crying.

"Dear Finn, everyday the lady who watches us, hurts our mom f we are not evil enough. She doesn't like us. She hates us."

There was not a dry eye in the whole room. Aria stood up and walked to him, stood there hand in hand and then announced.

"We are worth more than that, all VK's deserve a chance."

Halan's head came back up, and he stood up and talked about his dad now.

"You are so good Doug! You play the piano and trumpet so well! You are so smart!"

Halan looked to his friends before grabbing Aria's other Hand.

"There is a difference, my parents came from different places,and they had different things said about them. All VK's deserve a chance."

Casey stood up.

"You are such a good girl Jane! So well behaved!" Casey grabbed Rylan's other hand.

"We all know what happened at Ben's coronation, she was not always so good. All VK's deserve a chance." Rylan looked out towards the audience.

"Ben will be such a great king! He is such a wonderful child!"

Drastically different from Mal, whom he fell in love with, if he hadn't our queen would still be on that horrible isle and never would have met Ben. All VK's deserve a chance.

Jude stood up and walked over, but did not take anyone's hand.

"You are so strong Lonnie! So amazing!"

Jude shook his head. "My dad was just as strong, and just as amazing but they saw his DNA, not him." He took Casey's hand. All VK's deserve a chance. In unison the group raised their hands and bowed as they said.

"We are not DNA, we are people."

The lights in the room went out, and family day was now to be moved outside.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FINISH THIS CHAPTER.

I have NOT given up on this story, school is just making me busy and I had writer's block. Don't worry, it should be once a week again. It is coming along much better after this. Anyway, keep reviewing and see you soon!
