"Seatbelt," Carlos said to himself as he buckled up in the passenger side of the car. The second the engine started he knew they were about to take off faster then they should, although he was questioning on how the car worked in the forest. He held the poodle in his jacket, well, his no mom turned poodle, eyes wide as they sped down the road. "Where are we going?"
"To home of course. I have a nice little home not far from here," Cruella said as she took a sharp turn happily managing to avoid sending them both to death as she missed a tree. "It's just a little ways off. Ah, here it is,"
As the car drove up to the so-called 'little house', the boy's eyes widened in shock as a huge white Mansion with black trim came into view along with a bright red door. As they got closer silver gates opened.
"That's not little…" Carlos looked up as they pulled up to the place, a butler came out to open the door. "Wow, this is bigger than the other one,"
"Yes, well, this is my main home," Getting out of car Cruella looked up at her home with a smile shifting her fur higher up to her shoulders before grinning, "Well, Darling, let's head inside. I don't know about, but I'm rather famished."
"I could eat," Carlos smiled as he carried the growling poodle inside looking around with a smile. "This place is amazing,"
"Thank you, Darling, let's go, we need to have arrangements to get your room setup, along with that little friend of yours,"
"Pull the rope that way, no the other way," Killian instructed as he stayed close beside Harry showing him how to manage the ship. "That's it, lad,"
"Alright, so now what?" Harry asked kept the wheel of the ship steady, "Do I just… hold it then?"
"Indeed, until we head that way, due north for another two hours, we'll anchor in the harbor before gathering supplies," Taking a spyglass out Killian looked around as they went. He could see some land, a few others ships heading away far off. "Alright, Harry, Tur two degrees North."
"What?"
"Two degrees, North,"
"I don't know what that means," Harry frowned looking at him then back at the wheel, then back at the man. "To the right?"
"Alright, no better time to learn how to sail a ship, then on a ship," And so Killian begin to show the by how to use the degrees, a compass along with showing him how to sail along smoothly. "Alright, good now turn it slightly, that's one degree…. There you go, Lad, see not that hard."
Grinning Harry looked over at his Father but back at the water. "I can do this all day!"
"Well, just until we get into the port to stock up on everything we need," When they got closer to the port Killian took over the ship pulling up to a port he had been to a hundred times before. Once they had dropped the anchor and tied to the ship to the peg of the port they headed off. "Now, then, lad, let me show you how to haggle for a good deal."
"This is your castle?!" Evie gasped as she walked around following her mom inside with a big smile looking up at the high ceilings. "It's amazing! Oh wow, look at the paintings! A little dark, but I like them!"
Looking around the blue haired girl ran to each side of the castles as she looked around happily going here and there. Touching the small items on the hall tables even pocketing on before rushing back to place it back on the table.
"Evie, this way," Walking down in the long hall Regina waved her hands opening one large door looking again. "This will be your room for now."
"I love it! Uh, it's a little dark… maybe we can open a window… start the fireplace?" Evie looked around holding the fish bowl a little closer. "If the sun's out…"
"Or, I can just duplicate the room you have back home in Storybrooke," Regina held up her hands moving them around as the room moved, melted into the one back home a pure version of a princess room. "There, I think that's better,"
"Wow, it looks just like home! Just way, way, bigger!" Going over the dresser, she placed fish bowl down before moving around looking everywhere happily. "I love it!"
"Good, now, I have some things to take care off, you enjoy your room, there's a lot of new dresses and things in the closet," A wave of the hand rows of clothes, jewelry, crowns, and tiaras could be seen inside. "I'll be in my room if you need me."
"Okay, see you in a bit!" Evie ran into the closet as fast as she could. "I'll see you later!"
"So, we think that's what happened," Belle explained as she offered Ben, what must have been about the tenth cup of tea along with another tea cake. Which the boy already a small pile of the cakes on a napkin. "So, now that we know you're from another realm, do you know how to get back? Need us to help in any way?"
"Um, I might need helping to get back, yes," Ben smiled adding the cake to the pile with a smile as took a small sip looking between them. "So, well, this is a bit… interesting, um, neither of you look like my parents."
"Yes, there probably now as well looking at us," Rumple grinned a bit before looking at the kid over. "So, there you're… the King?"
"Yes, the tradition is when the oldest child is to be crowned on their sixteen birthday. It's a great honor, as well as privilege to be able to server Auradon and my fellow people." Ben smiled taking another drink of tea. "I'm still new at it, still a lot I need to do and make right but I hope with the guidance of my people I can do what's best for everyone."
"Surely, that can't be possible," Rumple frowned. "It can't be done,"
"What? Of course, it can," Ben nodded. "I'm sure I'll find a way."
"You'd have to find a way to help people at different levels." Rumple shrugged. "For example, you maybe set a plan that 'works' for everyone, but what if some people need something more or something less? What works for some may not work for all. It's not something can be fixed with one plan."
"Well, for school we have started to have kids from the Island of the Lost coming over,"
"What is that?" Belle asked sitting down next to Ben. "Another land?"
As Ben explained what it was, how it was made, where it was off near Auradon, it took a while to talk about the Isle but the more Ben talked about it the more uneased and disturbed Belle looked about it. Rumple just looked like it wasn't surprising.
"That's horrible! What a horrible thing to forget about the kids! Surely, they knew that they would have children!" Gasping Belle stood up pacing back and forth, hands on her hips shaking her head. "No, that is wrong, it's beyond wrong! The children are innocent! They committed no crime!"
Opening his mouth to say something Ben was cut off.
"I told you before, Belle," Rumple leaned back his fingers clasped up together in an almost triangle. "Us villains don't get happy endings."
Keeping quiet Ben thought back on what the others had once said 'We're born different! We're bad, evil, we don't get to be happy, Ben, none of us do! '
Feeling tired after learning how to fly a bit, Mal had taken a shower before getting ready for bed. She could hear singing coming from her Mom's room. Curious about the song, because it sounded familiar.
"Don't you wanna be evil like me, don't you wanna bad,"
