Heidi tilted her head as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a short royal blue satin off the shoulder dress that hugged her perfectly. Her hair was in a braid while she wore a pair of strappy black high heels. "Hmm…" She turned slightly to see how it looked from another angle. "It's not too much, is it?"

Audrey walked out of the bathroom in an almost identical outfit, only hers was a tad longer in pink, had white dusting at the bottom and she had much more jewelry. Her pink hair was styled beautifully and even appeared to sparkle a bit under the light. The princess picked up her white glittery shoes as she approached the bluenette. "I think you look…" She smiled and stood up on her toes to peck her on the cheek. "...Perfect."

Heidi turned around and laced her hand with Audrey's before smiling. "And you look stunning." She chuckled as a playful look entered her eyes. "I was thinking that you should have the title of Sleeping Beauty."

Audrey laughed as soon as she heard that. "And steal that title from my mother? Not a chance." She shook her head. "You can find me one that fits me." She told the goddess as she opened a nearby jewelry box.

Heidi rubbed her chin, walking over to the walk-in closet. She looked at the many leather jackets she owned before grabbing one off the hanger and slipping it on. The jacket had blue flames on the sleeves and ends while an elaborate design of a blue phoenix on the back. "One that fits you?" She said aloud, exiting the closet and making her way over to a dresser. "Hmm...That might be a tough one." She opened a drawer that was filled with sunglasses and began looking at them as she decided on which one to wear.

Audrey had placed a diamond white rose hairpiece in and was working on her heels when she spotted Heidi. "You don't have to come up with one right now, you know." She said with an amused look on her face.

Heidi shrugged and pulled out a pair of aviator sunglasses. Turning around as she slipped them on, she eyed the rose atop the pinkette's head. "Rose…" She murmured and tapped her chin. "White Rose...Pink Rose…" She stopped for a moment before a smile stretched across her face. "I've got it. Audrey, Lady of the Roses." She gestured in an overdramatic manner before chuckling.

Audrey blinked at the title and tilted her head. "Lady of the Roses? Well, it is correct in a sense…" She said the last part to herself before smiling. "I kind of like it...Sounds...elegant."

Heidi pushed her sunglasses down enough that Audrey could see her eyes and blinked. "...It's terrible, isn't it?" She sighed and pushed them back over her eyes.

Audrey shook her head. "No." She stood up and approached Heidi. "I like it, Heidi." She patted the goddess on the arm with a smile. "I'm keeping it whether you like it or not."

Heidi raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Good...because it would take me years to come up with another one." She said before her eyes halved behind the sunglasses. "Believe it or not but I am terrible with nicknames and titles."

Audrey laughed at that and placed her hands on her hips. "I know...You were never good at giving me nicknames." She said, thinking back to the many nicknames Heidi attempted to give her. Most of them were pretty bad and Audrey had told the goddess to stop after a point.

Heidi grinned and slinked an arm around the princess. "I don't know...Princessa was always my favorite nickname." She chuckled and brought her in for a one-arm embrace. "...I think I am going to keep it this time."

The princess raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. "That is…" She blinked, noticing that Heidi was still grinning. "You aren't going to let that one go, are you?" She deadpanned, eyes halving at the goddess.

"Not a chance, Princessa!" Heidi chirped and placed a kiss on the girl's forehead before reaching over and grabbing her black crossbody purse. She twirled around and took Audrey by the hand. "Come along, Princessa, we have a party to attend."

As she was pulled towards the door, Audrey managed to grab her white purse before she was yanked down the stairs by a clearly excited Heidi. She barely made it down the stairs as Heidi stumbled in front of her, the stairs making their deadly presence known. The princess rolled her eyes and placed her free hand on Heidi's shoulder to steady her. "Heidi, calm down. Sooner or later you are going to crash down these stairs and we both know that."

Heidi stopped in the middle of the room and smiled, pulling the girl into her arms. "Nonsense, we made it down the stairs without a problem...and now we are getting our party on!" She punched the air, causing the princess to look at her with halved eyes.

"Speaking of party, when are we having ours?" The princess focused her pink eyes on the goddess and raised an eyebrow.

Heidi blinked. "I…" She raised a finger into the air before she paused. "...Have no idea." She finished with a deadpan.

Audrey blinked at her before shaking her head in exasperation. "And I will be planning it. All you have to do is make the jewelry and figure out the outfits...Are you going to be the one with the tux?" She asked, seeming to forget that they had a party to attend.

Heidi tilted her head. "Do you want me to wear a tux?" She questioned the girl, not appearing to mind the thought of wearing a tuxedo.

Audrey looked at her before cocking her head to the side and rubbing her chin. "It would fit your body shape better…" She placed a hand on her hip. "Besides, I'm the princess, it's kind of in the description for me to be wearing the dress at my wedding." She said with a small shrug, smiling slightly at the taller woman.

Heidi thought about this for a moment before shrugging. "Works for me, less corset time means a happy Heidi." She said with a chuckle as she took the princess's hand. "Not to mention you would look absolutely divine in a dress." She gave her a wink, causing a blush to appear on the pinkette's face. "That and I'm the manly one, remember?"

Audrey's smile widened, remembering back to the day that Heidi had first said that. "I do remember that...Seems after all this time you haven't changed a bit." She giggled and pushed a pink lock behind her ear.

Heidi smiled back and chuckled softly. "No, it appears I haven't, Princessa. You, however, have truly blossomed into a beauty like no other." She lifted the girl's chin up and smirked. "And that beauty is all mine."

The princess practically melted at those words, finding them to be everything she ever hoped for and then some. Something about the subtle possessive nature made her heart flutter and swoon while her cheeks flared red. "Heidi...I-" Before she could continue, her phone suddenly began chiming. She sighed, both in exasperation and in annoyance. Pulling it out, she answered it with a huff. "Who is it?"

Heidi watched in amusement as Audrey quickly paled as the person on the other end spoke. And there is the ever-lovely Leah asking where her granddaughter is. Probably asking if I "the devilish goddess spawn of Hades" am holding her hostage when she is supposed to be at a party. She snickered at her thoughts before stopping as she noticed Audrey wrapping up the phone call.

Audrey sighed and nodded. "Yes, Grammy. We'll see you there." She told the woman on the other end before hanging up and slipping the phone in her purse. "We should be going, everyone else has already arrived." She said with a second sigh, linking her hand with Heidi's and resting her head on her.

Heidi nodded with a small smile. "Let's not keep them waiting then." She said with a chuckle before the two disappeared in Heidi's signature blue flames.

….

Heidi and Audrey appeared off to the side of the main crowd. The Bridge Plaza, as Heidi liked to call it, was decorated beautifully and filled to the brim with people in formal apparel. Countless royals were in attendance along with many heroes and their sidekicks.

Heidi's eyebrows flew up at the number of people in attendance. She whistled in slight awe and placed her free hand on her hip. "Now that is a lot of royals. Hell, I think I even spot Elsa over there. Wonder what she's up to…" She said to herself, looking at the former queen who was clad in her shimmery white dress with its fairy-like wings.

Audrey nodded in agreement, glancing at all the royals. "I could have sworn she said she wouldn't visit these parts anymore. It appears Queen Anna is here too." She tilted her head in thought. "We need to use Hermes as Mal did, clearly she sent out invitations to everyone."

Heidi rubbed her chin at that statement, noticing the blonde messenger god milling about the crowd and chatting with every person he knew. "Not a problem. Hermes will do whatever I ask and then some." She said with a chuckle, waving the god over.

Hermes zipped over to the two and grinned at them both. He was wearing a gold-colored tuxedo with a black tie and his best formal winged shoes. "Hello to you two!" He greeted them, folding his arms as he floated a bit. "Mal and the King will be here momentarily, and I wrangled Hades after he finished strangling me." He laughed, zipping away before appearing again with a scowling Hades. "Here he is!"

Hades glared at him before promptly shoving the shorter god away, sending Hermes back into the crowd of well-dressed individuals. He rolled his eyes before turning his attention to his daughter and her fiance. "So, when are you ladies having one of these? I need to know in advance so I'm prepared to torture a few specific gods."

Heidi shook her head in amusement while Audrey's eyes widened at his words. The goddess chuckled and placed her hand on her hip. "No torturing at the engagement party, dad." He raised a finger, prompting Heidi to shake her head. "Or the Wedding."

Hades let out an overdramatic sigh and folded his arms. "We really need to get you on the torturing train, sweetheart. Right after I get down to the Underworld and stake my claim as ruler once more, of course." He told her, grinning at the thought.

Heidi paused when she heard this. "Actually...I wanted to talk to you about that...Dad, I-"

Hades immediately cut her off and laughed. "My daughter wants to help her dear old dad in the Underworld?" He pulled her into a one-armed hug and messed with her hair.

Heidi blinked before whacking his hand away. "What? Dad, I was not going to say that. I was going to say-"

Again she was interrupted by the grinning god. "You were going to say you accept?" He laughed as his hair lit up. "Heidi, I now name you Co-Ruler of the Underworld. You step in if I am ever unable to do my job." He ignored the scowl that had formed on her face.

"...Yay." Heidi said with heavy sarcasm, eyebrow twitching while her the tips of her hair turned to flames.

Hades patted her on the head, ignoring the flames that tried to burn him. "That's my girl. Now, where is your sister?" He whipped around and began searching for the purplette, scaring people left and right with his presence.

Heidi sighed before blinking as she noticed Audrey staring at her. She tilted her head before her eyes widened. "Shit...You don't know that Mal and I are…"

"Sisters?!" Audrey practically yelled, drawing the attention of most of the crowd.

Heidi winced and waved the crowd off, trying her best to remain as incognito as possible. Facing her princess, Heidi scratched the side of her head. "Yes...We are half-sisters." She managed, still attempting to get the crowd to stop staring.

Maybe it was just her, but Heidi could have sworn that the crowd wanted to stare at them. Every single royal and hero was watching them...No, they were judging. Heidi scowled back at them and tried yet again to wave them off. Gah, these people are going to be the death of me. She thought, looking at every single person staring at them. Her eyes landed on a blue-eyed blonde all in white and appeared to be glowing gold of all things. Heidi knew quite well who this mysterious model-like being was...the elusive Aphrodite.

Aphrodite's long white cape that was changing to many colors was blowing in a seemingly nonexistent wind while the goddess herself seemed to sparkle under the rays of the sun. Her eyes were sapphire blue and appeared to have countless gold and silver flecks within them. The goddess's golden locks were perfectly styled and looked like liquid gold with how beautiful they were. Her long flowing white dress hugged her body and accentuated every last perfect curve with millions of tiny diamonds covering the dress.

Heidi couldn't tear her eyes away from the other goddess, not because of her beauty, no...It was because of how familiar she looked. Heidi was well aware that Aphrodite regularly changed her appearance, it was her thing, but for some reason...She recognized this specific form Aphrodite took.

"Heidi?"

Heidi vaguely heard Audrey, but she was far too drawn to Aphrodite to listen. Her thoughts were frozen in place as a mischievous look appeared on the blonde goddess, her eyes glowing pink for a mere second before she disappeared in a golden light. As soon as she was gone, Heidi let out a breath and blinked a few times before shaking her head. "What..."

Audrey blinked and looked at her as she saw the crowd finally look away. "Heidi, are you okay?" She asked, concern lacing her voice as she took the goddess's hand.

Heidi shook her head once more as she felt a dull throb in the back of her head. "Yeah...I just have a headache." She smiled slightly and looked at her. "I am fine, don't worry about me."

Audrey had a puzzled look on her face. "...If you say so." The princess decided not to comment on the whole sisters thing, not when Heidi had a headache. Instead, she took a deep breath and stayed close to the older woman.

Heidi mentally sighed as she closed her eyes, the image of the glowing pink eyes etched into her mind. Something about them felt...familiar and not in a good way. Almost as if she had been warned to stay away from those eyes...to run from them. Perhaps it was just her head playing tricks on her, entirely possible considering a few things, or there truly was a reason for her feelings...She didn't know, and she doubted she would ever know.

Heidi's thoughts were brought to a crashing halt as Mal and Ben finally made their entrance, exiting the tunnel with their arms linked. They both walked with grace as they walked onto the balcony and waved at everyone with smiles.

Mal looked around before noticing Audrey and Heidi. Her smile seemed to double and she gave them a wave in a friendly manner before she looked elsewhere.

Audrey smiled back, finding that she literally had no reason to be jealous of Mal now. Not only was Mal Heidi's sister, but the princess was also marrying Heidi and becoming her immortal wife. That in itself was leagues above being Queen… The pinkette's smile increased as she glanced at Heidi. For the first time in years...Audrey felt like she truly belonged and that she was...happy.

A few minutes passed before the crowd began to settle down again, Ben cleared his throat and beamed at everyone in the plaza. "Lady Mal and I want to thank you for celebrating our engagement with us today." He told the crowd before turning to his future bride. "I couldn't be prouder or happier to call you my queen." With a wide smile, he raised his glass and looked back at the celebrating masses. "So raise your glasses to the future Queen of Auradon!"

As everyone raised their glasses, Heidi made one with wine appear in her hand while one with punch appeared in Audrey's. The goddess snickered at the look on Audrey's face as she sipped at her fine wine. "No wine until after our wedding, that way you get the goddess perks. For now...enjoy the punch." She smirked at the pout on the princess's face before bringing her close.

At the front of the crowd stood Carlos and Jane with both of them looking stunning next to one another. With a grin, Carlos looked up at the couple on the balcony. "Speech, Your Specialness!" He shouted, his grin increasing as he saw Mal blink.

Jay joined in with a laugh. "Speech, oh fancy one!" He yelled before clapping for the purple-haired girl looking over them all.

Mal's smile fell and she looked down at the ground. After about a minute, she looked back up and turned to face Ben with a frown. "I...I can't. I can't be queen of Auradon." She said, shaking her head.

Heidi was so badly caught off guard that she began coughing and choking a bit on the wine while everyone else gasped. Audrey couldn't believe what she just heard...or that Heidi was actually having a coughing fit due to wine. Deciding that the coughing goddess next to her was a bigger problem at the moment, she went about helping her and patted her on the back.

Mal sighed and noticed the look on Ben's face. "I can't turn my back on the Isle." She told him quietly before she took a deep breath and addressed the crowd. "We made a decision to close the barrier forever...It was my idea. But it's wrong." She admitted, noticing the surprise appearing on everyone's faces. "I've learned that you can't live in fear...Because it doesn't actually protect you from anything. You never know where the bad is going to come from...And you never know where the heroes are going to come from, either." She looked to Hades who gave her a thumbs up while he was in the middle of throttling Hermes who was grinning. Mal smiled momentarily before nodding. "If we did not have the help we had, Auradon would be gone. And without Hades, my father, and Heidi, my sister...Audrey would be gone."

The crowd reeled at this revelation while a few looked in Audrey and Heidi's direction. Heidi had barely recovered from her coughing fit while Audrey was busy looking her over. Mal shook her head in slight amusement before continuing. "We are all capable of good and bad, no matter which side of the barrier we come from." She raised her head with the clear insight and strength of a leader who was able to see the complete nature of her people for the first time.

Once Heidi had regained her composure, both her and Audrey smiled at Mal. Heidi's eyes glowed when Mal looked her way, causing a small smile to appear on her face. "There's the Mal I know." The goddess whispered as the glowing in her eyes dimmed.

Mal turned to face the king next to her and took his hands in hers. "And that's why I can't be queen of just Auradon...I have to be queen of the Isle too. It's time we take the barrier down. Forever."

Her words immediately made Beast frown and take a step forward. "We can't do that." He said, clearly alarmed at the mere suggestion.

Ben stood shoulder to shoulder with Mal and looked at his father. "It's up to us, Dad. I choose to be a king who moves forward. It's time for forgiveness. It's time for new beginnings." Both Mal and Ben turned to face the crowd. "The barrier will come down."

The VKs all smiled and whooped while Heidi let a laugh bubble out. "I...I can't believe it." She murmured, shaking her head in disbelief. "It's true...She was right."

Audrey looked at her in confusion, turning her full attention to the goddess while tuning out the cheering and clapping. "Who was right?" She asked, raising an eyebrow as she saw the three original VKs run up the stairs to join Mal.

Heidi met Mal's eyes and gave her a smile and a nod before looking back down at Audrey. "My aunt Hestia once told me of a prophecy when I was young. She wasn't the one who originally gave the prophecy, but she was the one to tell me." She said as she watched Mal accept the wand from Fairy Godmother. "The day of the forgotten one's daughter's most joyous moment shall be the day two worlds are reunited." As she said that, the wand began glowing as the other VKs placed a hand on Mal. "With her declaration, the link shall be healed, and the damned shall see the light once more as will their offspring." Right after she said that the wand shot out a blast of magic that collided with the barrier, taking it down in one fell swoop. Heidi smiled and continued. "No matter their atrocities and the terror they have caused...they will all be found redeemed under the daughter's great and magnificent reign."

Audrey's eyes widened once Heidi was finished. "That...was a prophecy? About this day and Mal?" She asked, pulling Heidi back as everyone cheered and began moving about in excitement.

Heidi nodded as she saw the white bridge that she once marched across reappear in all of its beauty. "It was. Thousands of years old...Telling of a day when two worlds would be together again under the rule of the daughter of the forgotten one. Hades, our father, is the forgotten one-the forgotten god. And Mal…" She sniffed as she wiped a tear away. "Mal is the daughter who shall bring them all together under her reign as queen." She explained in a shaky voice, laughing a bit in joy. "Even the gods saw this day coming...This beautiful day." She faced Audrey and wiped away a few more tears. "The day that we are no longer apart. That world...and this world."

Audrey was in awe as she saw everyone begin dancing, for once she saw it how Heidi described it, ironically. "Wow...This is...amazing." She said with a laugh of disbelief.

Heidi nodded in agreement as she saw Hermes and Hades wiggle out of the dancing flash mob. A thought passed through her head and she smiled. "I...I want to do the same for the gods." She said, her smile widening as she took both of Audrey's hands.

"What?" Audrey couldn't help but ask before blinking. "What do you mean? The gods are already together, aren't they?"

Heidi shook her head as she managed to wipe away the last of her tears. "No, they are not. There are countless pantheons out there in this world, Greek, Norse, Roman, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese...so many more and they don't communicate with each other." She smiled and looked up at the sky. "I want to bring them together, unite them, to create something that has never been seen before. I want them to communicate, to work together and most importantly…" She gazed at the flash mob and chuckled. "I want them to communicate with the humans once more. No more separation, no more placing themselves above the humans…" She shook her head as her smile widened. "I want gods to walk with humans like how Hermes and I do, to speak with them like how we do, to help them...That is my dream now, Audrey...And I hope you will come along with me for that journey."

Audrey gazed back at her future wife before a smile appeared on her face as she nodded. "Heidi...I will go where you go. I'm not letting you disappear on me again...I will never let you go. Once we are wed...We can start on that dream." She rubbed Heidi's hands as she was brought into an embrace.

Heidi rested her head on Audrey's, her eyes closed as she generated more body heat. "Thank you, Princessa." She whispered, holding the princess in a loving manner.

When Audrey pulled away, she looked up to Heidi with a smile. "No...Thank you." At Heidi's confused look she giggled. "You have given me everything, you never once left me unless needed...And you are the one person I wouldn't mind spending eternity with."

Heidi smiled back before pulling her into a loving kiss. It lasted for several minutes before they pulled away, with the princess seeming a bit breathless while Heidi appeared fine. "Same, Princessa. I can't think of anyone more perfect…"

The two were enjoying each other's company in silence when they noticed that the flash mob, that now had many Isle inhabitants in it, was dancing and singing as they exited the plaza. Audrey laughed and looked at Heidi. "I have to ask...Is that how you have been seeing...well, that?"

Heidi laughed as well as they began following the crowd. "You have no idea. It's like everyone is listening to music I can't hear!" She said, bringing the princess close to her. "And the singing makes it better, I know I get a good laugh out of it."

Audrey nodded in agreement. "I can see how you would, this is great." She laughed before shaking her head. "Wanna head home?" She asked, looking up at Heidi with a smile.

Heidi locked eyes with her father before she looked back down at her princess. "Let's do that Princessa. We still have many things to plan before the wedding next month." She said as they entered the tunnel, finding walking to be more enjoyable.

Before they completely disappeared within the large crowd, one could see the giant grin on Heidi's face and the panicked one on Audrey's. "NEXT MONTH?!" The princess exclaimed, prompting Heidi to laugh just as loudly.

Back in the plaza, Aphrodite had appeared near the beginning of the bridge. Her eyes were currently pink and filled with darkness as she gazed at the bridge. "And they all live happily ever after…" She said in a bored tone, paying the two other gods in the plaza no attention as they both teleported away. "...At least for now." She lowered to the ground before her hand was covered in her golden magic. As soon as her hand touched the ground a massive crack formed and worked its way further into the center of the plaza.

The beautiful goddess sighed at the crack and stood up. "A shame, truly, that they believe that all is over...That they have reached a happily ever after." She walked to the center of the plaza, black roses sprouting behind her before disappearing like dust being blown in the wind. "Enjoy your peace now…" Her eyes glowed as the golden light swirled around her. "For this is not the end of your story." As she uttered those last words, the goddess disappeared in a blast of magic...leaving nothing but a crack in the shape of a spiral and a single black rose with a purple butterfly resting on it.


So this is a rare note at the end of the chapter. This is because I have news...yes...news. The wedding will be posted as an epilogue and may take me a while, I just want it to be perfect, but there is also the crossover fic I did with SuperNova Co titled 'When Worlds Collide' and that is being updated a lot as we have plenty of chapters. Go ahead and read that because we are both planning something that would require knowledge of that, at least. The mentioned fourth arc is coming, just won't be attached to this and it will be quite a surprise. This is not the last time you will see Heidi, not at all. Thanks for enjoying this story and I hope you all will read not only the crossover...but the surprise as well.
