Shout out to Layla347 for the support.
"Hey Ruby," Mal said gently the next day before the coronation as Ruby was helping her with her hair.
"Yeah?" Ruby answered.
"I just wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday. You know, sticking up for me."
"Of course, that's what family does." Ruby told her.
"How did you know the spell would work?"
"I didn't. I was just kinda' hoping for the best you know?"
"Yeah. But we are stronger together."
"Yeah, we are." Ruby then stood up straight. "C'mon let's get you into that dress. We have a wand to steal." She said pulling her up.
"At last here we are broadcasting live from the coronation where Prince Benjamin will soon be crowned King. I'm Snow White bringing you up to the second coverage of who's the fairest of them all."
"On the Isle of the Lost the villains threw their popcorn at the TV. "I'm Snow White," Evil Queen mocked. "Who are you kidding she's definitely had work done."
p class="MsoNormal""Oh Fairy Godmother is looking radiant." Snow White boasted. "But what is up with Jane's hair? And there's Fairy Godmothers wand."
"I want that wand." Maleficent exclaimed leaning closer to the TV.
"Do you, hadn't heard." Cruella said sarcastically making Maleficent glare at her.
"Oh and here comes Ben now." Snow White continued as the screen showed the carriage Ben was riding in.
Evil Queen gasped when Ben and his date were show stepping out of the carriage. "Well if it isn't-"
"My daughter." Maleficent cut her off. "Looking like some kind of princess?"
"Princess," Snow White said at the same time. "Mow let's see who his beauty is wearing. Evie."
"Evie, my Evie." Evil Queen exclaimed jumping up from her seat.
"Someone named Evie designed her dress."
"Oh wow your daughter sewed a dress." Maleficent taunted. "Meanwhile my girl duped a prince and she's this close to grabbing that magic wand."
"Bitter party of one. Bitter party of one." Evil Queen called out teasingly.
"It's happening people. It's happening." Maleficent shouted running around the room. "Villains our revenge begins today." She told them and they all cackled.
Inside the hall up on the balcony Jay reached over and grabbed Ruby's hand that was gripping the railing tightly he tried to give her a reassuring look that she returned just as the bug doors opened and Ben strode in.
Ben knelt in front of his parents and Fairy Godmother and the front of the room and Fairy Godmother took the crown from King Adam's head and placed it on Ben's.
As Fairy Godmother took the wand from Beast's spell jar Mal glanced up at her friends in the balcony.
"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon, with justice and mercy? As long as you shall reign?" Fairy godmother spoke.
"I do solemnly swear." Ben responded.
"Grab the thing already!" Maleficent snapped.
"Then it is my honour, and my joy," Fairy Godmother said while tapping Ben's shoulder with the wand. "To bless our new King-" She was cut off by the wand be snatched from her hand.
"Yes!" The villains on the island cheered.
Then there was a shaking on the island as the wands magic hit the barrier that surrounded it.
"The barrier is broken," Evil Queen said in shock. "We're free!"
Maleficent quickly ran out to the balcony. "Scepter. Now!" She called and as it flew into her hand she cackled then disappeared in a cloud of green.
"Child what are you doing?"Fairy Godmother shouted at her daughter who had grabbed the wand and was now being whipped around by its power.
"If you won't make me beautiful I'll do it myself." Jane responded. "Bibbi-Bobbdi-Boo." Jane tried the spell but the wand wasn't pleased with its new owner and continued to fight her.
"Take cover!" King Adam yelled as sparks began to fly.
Mal quickly ran forward and grabbed the wand from Jane. "Be careful Mal." Belle called out.
Jane ran off embarrassed when Mal finally wrestled the wand away from her. Once the wand was securely in Mal's hand the others in the balcony quickly ran down.
"Mal, give me the wand." Ben pleaded.
"Stand back." Mal warned as the other burst through the doors.
"It's okay." Ben tried again.
"Ben, I said stand back." Mal shouted.
"I told you so." Audrey bragged but was quickly silenced when Mal turned the wand on her.
"Let's go." Carlos said once they had caught up to Mal.
"Revenge time." Jay added.
"You really wanna' do this?" Ben asked of Mal.
"We have no choice Ben," Mal cried. "Our parents-"
"Your parents made their choice now you make yours."
"I think I wanna' be good." Mal said after a pause.
"You are good."
"How do you know that?"
"Because, because I'm listening to my heart."
"I wanna' listen to my heart too. And my heart is telling me that we are not out parents." Mal said turning to face her friends. "I mean stealing things doesn't make you happy," she spoke to Jay. "No tourney and victory pizza with the guys make you happy. And Ruby, Ruby makes you happy." She said the last part softly and Jay grinned pulling Ruby closer to him.
"And scratching dude's belly makes you happy who would have thought." She told Carlos. "And Evie, you do not have to play dumb to get a guy, you are so smart." Evie gave a teary smile. "And Ruby, magic doesn't make you happy, no going to school and being with Jay makes you happy." Ruby smile teary and rested her head on Jays shoulder. "And seeing my sister happy, that makes me happy. And I don't wanna' take over the world with evil, it doesn't make me happy. I wanna' go to school and be with Ben, because Ben makes me really happy." Mal said turning around and showing her ring. "Us being friends makes me really happy, not destroying things. I choose good you guys." Mal said holding out her fist.
"I choose good too." Jay said putting his fist in.
"I choose good." Ruby did the same.
"Good." Evie said putting her hand in as well.
"So just to be clear we don't have to be worried about how really mad out parents are gonna' be?" Carlos questioned making them all laugh. "Because they're gonna' be really mad."
"You're parents can't reach you here." Ben told them helpfully.
"Okay then," Carlos said putting his hand in. "Good."
Mal urged Ben to join them with a nod and he did and the rest of the people around them applauded that was abruptly cut off by a loud clap of thunder that was followed by a green cloud of smoke the landed in the middle of the room and cleared to reveal Maleficent.
"I'm back." She sang taunting, Fairy Godmother.
"Go away mother." Mal pleaded.
"You're funny." Maleficent cackled then snorted. "She's very funny. Here, wand me." She commanded of her daughter. "Chop, chop."
Mal made to hand her the wand but instead quickly threw it to Fairy Godmother. "Bibbi-Bobbdi-"
"Boo!" Maleficent mocked and raised her scepter freezing everyone in the room save for the descendants and herself. "Psych." Maleficent cackled once again and strolled up to King Adam and removed his glasses. "In another time, in another time." She placed his glasses on top of his head and moved over to Fairy Godmother humming as she went and snatched the wand. "Oh, oh no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs."Maleficent said childishly.
"Where should we begin? I know, let's start by getting rid of this." Maleficent pointed the wand at Mal and Ben's ring flew off and onto it. "Perfect fit." She moved under Fairy Godmother's frozen arms while Mal looked sadly down at her bare hands. "Falling in love is weak." She said knocking Ben's crown askew. "And ridiculous. It's now what you want." Maleficent told her daughter.
"You don't know what I want! Mom have you every once asked me what I want. I'm not you."
"Well obviously, I've had years and years and years of practice being. You'll get there."
"No I will not." Mal denied. "And I really wish you'd never gotten there yourself."
You're wrong godmother." Ruby spoke up. "Love is not weak, or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing."
"I know one thing young ladies; you have no room for love in your lives." Maleficent said pointing the wand at them.
And now we command wand to our hands." Mal and Ruby said together and after e brief struggle the wand flew into their outstretched hands./p
"It worked." Mal gasped.
"I hardly think so," Maleficent began pacing. "Quite frankly I find all this tedious and very immature. Give me the wand. Give me the wand!" Maleficent shrieked.
"Hold on guys." Carlos spoke up. "Maybe good really is more powerful than evil."
"Please you're killing me." Maleficent cackled then called to dude who ran up her and began licking her face. "Oh dog breath. Breath, get off me." She said dropping him to the floor. Jay then ran up and tried to grab her scepter but she held strong. Maleficent smirked and the caressed his arm. "Gaston should be jealous." The knocked him down to the floor. "Enough!" She shouted as the green smoke started to envelope her. "You will all regret this!"
When the smoke cleared Maleficent was gone and in her place was her giant dragon. The dragon stared down Jay before blasting him with fire which he quickly dodged.
"Jay run!"Ruby shouted and Jay did but dragon Maleficent flew in front of him and block his path, he ran back and towards the front of the room but the dragon was there again.
"Jay come on!" Carlos called and Jay ran back towards them.
Evie moved forward and held out her mirror. "Magic mirror shine a bright light." The mirror did as asked and Evie shined the light directly into the dragon's eye.
"Get behind me E!" Mal yelled as she and Ruby moved forward.
"Leave our friends alone." Ruby yelled at the dragon.
"This is between you and us mother." Mal continued.
"The strength of evil is good as none when stands before five hearts as one! The strength of evil is good as none when stands before five hearts as one! The strength of evil is good as none when stands before five hearts as one!" Dragon Maleficent tried to convince Mal by having a staring contest both of their eyes turning green but in the end, surprisingly, Mal won and Maleficent once again disappeared in a cloud of green and in her place was a tiny lizard.
Everyone gasped. "What happened?"
"Did you do it?"
"I don't know." Mal answered and Fairy Godmother was unfrozen.
"No, no. You're mother did." She said approached the lizard crouching down need Mal. "She shrank down to the love in her heart. That's why it's no itty-bitty."
"Is she gonna' be like that forever?" Ruby questioned from just behind Mal leaning over to see her godmother better.
"Well forever is a long time. But you both learned to love. So could she."
"I believe this belongs to you." Mal said handing Fairy Godmother her wand back.
"And I believe this," Fairy Godmother said picking up Ben's ring and handing it to Mal. "Belongs to you." Fairy Godmother stood "You all have earned yourselves an 'A' in goodness class." She began waving her wand. "Bibbi-Bobbdi-Boo!" and with that everyone was unfrozen.
Ben growled loudly and began running down the stairs but Mal quickly stopped him. "Okay we got this all wrapped up here." Mal said and Ben smiled and picked her up in a big hug.
Ben sighed and looked around. "Next time I save you okay?"
"How about we don't have a next time?" She tweaked Ben's crown and Ruby looked over and noticed Fairy Godmother reprimanding her daughter.
"Hey, Mal." Ruby called then nodded over to where the pair was.
Mal nodded then turned back to Ben. "I'll be right back."
Ruby said something similar to Jay and then they approached Fairy Godmother and Jane.
"I love you, but you are on a major time out." The heard Fairy Godmother say before Mal cut it.
"Don't be too hard on Jane." Mal said to the headmistress.
"Yeah, we were the ones who put all that crazy stuff in her head." Ruby continued.
"You are beautiful."
"Inside and out."
"Your mom got that right."
"I guess I did get pretty lucky in the mother department." Jane said.
"Yeah, I guess so."
Fairy Godmother lead her daughter away and Audrey slowly approached Mal, the two shared a look before Audrey gave a small curtsy which Mal returned then Ruby and Audrey shared a nod of respect.
"Hey!" Mal suddenly called out to the servant who was covering lizard Maleficent with Beast's spell jar. "Be careful. That's my mom." She continued making everyone laugh.
The five descendant plus Ben gathered around in a group hug.
"Let's get this party started." Jay called out.
"Oh eh oh ehh!"
