"Where is Hadie?" Mal asked as she paced back and forth in Evie's living room. "He should be back by now. I don't care how good Auradon is, he knows he is not supposed to be wandering around at night. It's dad's number one rule on the Isle."

Everyone watched as she kept pacing back and forth. Everyone who was dressed in fancy clothes changed into some clothes Evie had in her workshop. Lonnie changed into a blue, pink, and white leather outfit, and Audrey changed into a baby bink leather jumpsuit that had a cape around her waist.

"Did you ever follow that rule?" Uma asked as she played with the shell necklace around her neck. "I don't know how many times I saw you wandering around the Isle late at night."

"This is not about what I did on the Isle," Mal said. "It's about me being worried that my little brother is out there when there is a psycho rapist running around Auradon," she said.

"He could be at the castle with my parents," Ben said as he got up and stopped Mal from pacing. "I would call, but there is no reception in the bunker."

Mal nodded her head. She had to think positive, because if something bad happened to Hadie I'm sure her dad would be calling her by now.

"Let's go," she said. "It's dark and the faster we get this over with, the faster I can get back to Mia again," she said as she took Ben's hand and they walked out of the castle.

Everyone followed the royal couple out of the castle, but stopped before they left the grounds.

"Doug," Evie said as she turned to look at her boyfriend. "Make sure that no one comes in. My daggers are hidden all over the castle," she said, making everyone look at her in surprise. "What?' she asked. "I'm still from the Isle. I may be a princess, but I know how to defend myself."

"Yes," Doug said as he wrapped an arm around Evie's waist. "But I have a horrible aim."

"That brings up something," Jay said as he turned to his girlfriend. "I want you to stay with Doug, Ginny, and Maddie."

"What?!" Lonnie said. "No way! I want in on the action."

"I know, but I need you to stay here with Doug and the girls in case anyone else comes," he said. "I promise, I will never leave you out in a fight ever again if you stay and help keep the kids safe."

Lonnie knew that Jay was right. She needed to stay with Doug in case something happened.

"Fine," she said. "I'll stay, but I don't have to like it," she said as she lightly punched his chest.

Jay gave her a small chuckle before kissing the top of her head.

"I'm going to stay with Chad," Jordan said. "He hit his head pretty hard when Trevor pushed him down the hill," she said, making everyone nod in agreement.

Ben saw Gil look at Audrey in concern. He didn't want to tell Audrey to stay, but he also knew Gil didn't want her to go.

"Audrey," Ben said. "Why don't you stay too," he suggested.

"I don't mean for this to sound rude but, fuck off Ben," she said, taking the king by surprise. "I'm the only one who knows that cottage inside and out. I'm coming," she said as she stood her ground.

"Alright," Ben said, giving Gil an 'I tried' look. "Let's get this shit over with," he said as he and Mal walked into the forest, leading the others.

They walked through the forest, until they saw the cottage. They hid behind the trees in case someone came out and saw them.

"Jay and Carlos," Audrey said. "Go around the back and stand guard at the back door, the rest of us will go in."

Jay and Carlos quietly and quickly made their way to the back of the cottage, while everyone else quietly made their way to the front. Ben tried the door knob, but it was locked.

"I love you, Ben, but you are being too nice right now," she said as she stood in front of the door, and kicked it open, making a loud crash.

They all rushed inside, and found the place empty.

"Gil and Uma," Audrey said. "Go and check upstairs and in both of the rooms," she said.

"I love this Audrey more than the one we met when we got here," Jay said as he and Carlos walked into the cottage.

"Shut up," Audrey said, making Jay laugh.

They heard a soft knock, making them turn to the broom closet. Anthony walked over and looked through the small window, before unlocking the door and opening it.

"Ariana?" he said, before he picked her up.

"You bitch!" Mal as she stormed over to Ariana and slapped her across her face, making her flinch from the sting.

"I deserved that," she said. "I know I deserve to be your dad's puppet in the underworld right now, but I want to help."

"Help!" Mal yelled. "You want to help? After you froze me, and took my crying baby from me?"

"Mal, baby," Ben said in a calming voice, and as Gil and Uma came back downstairs.

"NO!" she yelled. "She wants forgiveness after what she did!" she yelled as she turned back to Ariana, who was still being held by Anthony.

"Mal, I'm sorry…"

"You're sorry?!" she yelled back, making Ariana jump at the harsh tone in Mal's voice. "You're sorry for what? Stealing the queen's crown, the scepter, and Maleficent's spell book? Kidnapping the next heir to Auradon? Cursing the future queen of Auradon? Cursing the king of Auradon? Cursing Auradon citizens? Bringing a prisoner over from the Isle? Bringing a rapist to Auradon? Bringing the person who raped me back to Auradon?" Mal said as her voice broke, and she started to cry. "And for what?" she asked, making Ariana look at her, knowing how much she had fucked up. "Because you didn't like me?" she asked, making everyone in the room go into complete silence.

"He has your brother," Ariana said, making Mal pale.

"What?" Mal asked in shock.

"He brought Hadie in here," she said. "I could hear Trevor and Hadie fighting. Trevor said that if Hadie used his powers, he was going to kill Mia," Ariana said as she swallowed.

"Trevor knows Anthony escaped with Mia," Audrey said.

"But Hadie doesn't," Mal said as she bit her bottom lip. "He would never do anything that could potentially hurt Mia, even if it was just a threat."

"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, and I will go to the Isle when this is all over, but I want to say I am sorry," she said. "I'm sorry for everything. I didn't send for Trevor or Anthony."

"Then how did they get here?" Carlos asked.

"We stowed away in the trunk of your limo," Anthony said.

"What?!" everyone else, but Ariana exclaimed.

"Trevor was going to come alone, after reading my letters, but I came with him."

"Wait," Evie said. "YOU," she said as she pointed to Anthony. "Were the one who was writing to Ariana?"

Anthony nodded his head. Everyone in the room was so confused.

"I was writing to Ariana," he said. "She would write to me about her struggles and her frustrations, and I would write to her back about mine. When you guys came to announce who you were bringing to Auradon, we got into the trunk."

Ariana winced in pain as she brought her head up to the back of her head. When she pulled her hand away there was blood.

"Oh that's not good," she said, before she passed out.

"Take her to the hospital," Ben said. "We'll discuss her punishment later."

"Um…" Anthony said. "Where do I go?"

Audrey groaned before throwing her head back.

"I'll take you," she said.

"I'm coming with you," Gil said as he walked up behind Audrey. "I'm not going to let you go alone."

Audrey gave him a smile before nodding her head.

"Call one of us when you get there," Ben said. "And I will talk with your parents later," he said as he pointed to Audrey.

"Okay," she said as the three of them walked out of the cottage, with Anthony still holding Ariana in his arms.

"Let's go," Mal said as she matched out of the cottage.

"Mal, where are we going?" Jay asked.

"The only place I can think of is the school," she said. "He already went to the castle, and it's not like he is going to come back here. Ben, I want you to go back to Evie's or the bunker."

"Like hell I am," he said. "I'm not going to leave you to chase after the guy who fucking assaulted you!"

"And I'm not going to let you go around the fucker who wants to kill you!"

"This is not up for discussion, Mal," he said. "I'm going with you."

"Ben…"

"It's you and me," he said as he walked up to her and took her hands into his. "Forever."

Mal didn't want Ben to go. She didn't want him to get hurt, or worse. But she also knew that he was not going to let her go without him. She looked up to meet his hazel-green eyes, and nodded her head.

"Okay," she said. "But, promise me you will stick close to Jay."

"I can handle myself in a fight," he said. "I fought Trevor twice, but if it makes you feel better okay."

"Twice?" she asked in confusion.

"Later, okay?" he said.

"Hey," Jay said as he walked up to Ben and Mal. "I hate to break this up, but we have to get Hadie and mame Trevor."

"Let's go," Mal said as they started to run toward the school.

When they got to the school, a beam of light shot out from the room. When the beam stopped they saw Trevor standing on the roof, and he was holding Hadie by the collar of his jacket.

"HADIE!" Mal yelled as she and the rest of the gang followed her.

"MAL!" Hadie yelled back.

"Oh look at what we have here," Trevor said as he pulled Hadie's collar tighter. "A wannabe thief, a slut, a walking fish, a tech nerd, a beast…" he said as he looked at everyone, but lingered his eyes on Mal. "and the villain I raped."

Mal grew furious. She felt hot, and her eyes were glowing green. Her breathing was speeding up, and she was shaking.

"Mal?" Ben called, making Mal look at him to see him looking at her in concern.

She looked down just in time to see purple smoke starting to surround herself, and the next thing she knew she was looking down at the roof of the school. Everyone was looking at her in shock, not knowing what had just happened. Mal was a dragon. A giant purple dragon. She flapped her wings before diving toward Trevor.

"Shit," Trevor said as he ducked, letting go of Hadie in the process.

Mal flew up and then turned around to see a beam of light heading toward her. She had the ember in her claws, and shot a beam of light out of it, making it collide with the beam Trevor was shooting at her. Mal flew closer to the school, as they stopped shooting beams at each other.

"Get him, Mal!" Jay exclaimed.

"You got this!" Carlos yelled.

She turned her attention back to Trevor, and saw that another beam was coming toward her. She tried to fly out of the way, but she wasn't fast enough and the beam hit her in the chest. She started to fall out of the sky.

"MAL!" Everyone yelled as purple smoke consumed her as she fell.

Ben sprinted forward, as the purple smoke cleared, revealing that Mal was back in her human form and she had let go of the ember. She was falling, and she was falling fast. The ember was falling a couple of feet away, and it was going to land in a fountain. He had to decide whether to keep going toward Mal or catch the ember so it didn't go out, but it wasn't a hard decision. He was going to catch his fiance. Ben dove just before Mal was going to hit the ground, and he caught her and rolled.

"Baby," he said as he sat up and pulled her close to his face. "Come on, baby. Wake up."

Mal lazily opened her eyes and she groaned, making Ben sigh in relief. He looked up just in time to see Uma run to the fountain and pull the ember out.

"Hadie!" Uma yelled. "Heads up!" she shouted as she threw the ember to Hadie.

"No!" Trevor yelled as he tried to block Hadie, but Hadie pushed him to the floor, making Trevor let go of the scepter.

Hadie caught the ember, and his body started to get warmer as he held the stone in his hand.

"Hadie!" Uma called, making Hadie look over at his cousin. "Mia is safe. He never had her when he got to you, and he can't touch her," she said with a smirk before she turned to go over to Mal and the others.

Hadie held the stone in his hand and smiled before looking over at Trevor. He tried to scramble to reach the scepter, but Hadie stepped on his hand, making Trevor scream. Hadie picked up the scepter, and threw it off the room, making the dragon eye shatter as it hit the concrete below and breaking the sleeping curse that was cast over Auradon. Mal tried to sit up, but Ben held her in place close to his chest. Hadie felt the heat in his body getting stronger, and then he let it consume him. His hair lit up just like his dad's, he started to glow, and when he opened his hand the ember was lit again. Trevor looked up, and saw fire in Hadie's eyes.

"Oh, this feels good," Hadie said with a smile.

"What's going on?" Ben asked.

"Hadie just took his place as the future king of the underworld," Mal said as she looked up at her brother.

"Holy shit," Jay said in shock.

Hadie cracked his neck before stepping off of Trevors hand. "So, what am I going to do with you?" He said as he started to pace in front of Trevor. "There are so many things I think you need to be punished for," he stated. "Kidnapping my niece, cursing the United States of Auradon, attempting to murder the king, attempt of kidnapping my sister…" he listed before he pulled Trevor's head back by his hair. "But most of all…" he said as he glared down at Trevor. "You raped and violated my sister."

Hadie picked up Trevor by his neck, holding on to him as he walked to the edge of the roof. The ground started to shake, making everyone huddle together. Hadie's eyes started to glow red, and then the earth split. Ben picked Mal up, and ran away from the crack in the earth before looking back up at Hadie.

"You are the worst waste of oxygen," he said as the split got bigger.

Trevor looked down, and saw that he was right above the crack. He saw the red fiery pits of hell below him, and gripped onto Hadie's arm.

"Enjoy hell, you son of a bitch," Hadie said before he let go of Trevor.

Trevor fell into the fiery pits of hell, and everyone heard his screams as he fell. Hadie closed the crack in the earth, making Trevor's screams disappear. Hadie let his hair dye out and then put the ember in his pocket.

"Mal!" Hadie yelled as he jumped down on top of the lower level roof, and continued down, until he was on the ground. "Mally!" he yelled as he ran to his sister.

Mal was being held up by Ben, and he was holding her close to his side for support.

"Hadie," Mal said before Hadie picked her up and spun her around. "I'm so glad that you're okay," she said as he stopped spinning her and set her on her feet.

"I'm more worried about you," he said. "That was some fall."

"King beast over here," she said as she leaned back onto Ben's hold. "Broke my fall."

"I think of it more as rescuing my fiance from her impending doom," he said as he kissed the top of her head. "But you're welcome, my dragon queen."

"Yeah," Evie said as she walked up next to Uma and Jay. "I didn't know you could do that."

"You and be both, E," Mal said with a chuckle. "But, more important," she said as she looked over at Hadie. "What about the future king of the underworld?"

"Huh?" Hadie said in confusion. "What are you talking about? I just used my powers."

"Hadie, you made the earth crack and threw Trevor into hell," Ben said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I don't think anyone, other than the big three, could do that."

Hadie looked confused. He thought Mal was supposed to be the next ruler of the underworld. Not him.

"Hey," Mal said as she walked up to Hadie. "We can talk about it with mom and dad later?" she asked, letting Hadie nod his head, not knowing what to think. "Why don't we go and find Mia."

"I'm going to go check on Doug and the kids," Evie said.

"I'm going with her," Jay said as he walked up behind Evie. "I want to check on Lonnie."

"I'm going too," Carlos said. "I want to see if Jane made it back."

Mal smiled at her friends and nodded her head, before they ran off to Evie's castle.

"Let's go get our baby," Ben whispered in Mal's ear, making her smile excitedly.

Uma and Hadie ran behind Mal and Ben as they made their way to Beast Castle. They burst through the giant wooden doors and ran toward the library. Ben sprinted to the bookcase and pulled back the book that opened the bunker. The seat of the windowsill opened, and the four heroes ran down the staircase.

"Mom! Dad!" Ben yelled as he reached the bottom of the staircase.

"Ben! Mal!" Belle yelled back as she walked out of a corner, and ran to meet her children. "Oh! Thank goodness you both are alright," she said as she cried into their shoulder.

"Uma!" Harry yelled as he ran, and picked up Uma off her feet.

"Harry," Uma sighed in relief.

They pulled apart and Uma gave Harry a deep kiss.

"Mia!" Hadie yelled as he rushed over and took Mia out of Adam's arms. "I'm so happy you are okay," he said as he held his niece close to his chest.

"She's amazing," Harriet said as she and CJ walked out of the shadows.

"Harriet? CJ?" Hadie said in confusion.

"We'll explain later," Mal said as she walked over to her brother, and held her hands out for Mia.

Mia held her hands out to Mal and she pulled her into her arms. Ben walked up and hugged his girls, happy that they were safe and sound.

"What happened?" Adam asked. "We came in here, when we saw the dark pink clouds coming. Then a couple of hours later we heard the bunker open and Harry came with Mia and his sisters. They told us Trevor was here with Anthony, whoever that is, and that Ariana took the scepter and the crown."

"It's a long story, dad," Ben said as he kept his hold on Mal and Mia. "And one we can have later. I want to make sure everyone is okay," he said. "And I need to go to the hospital to see how Ariana is."

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Like I said, it's a long story," Ben said.

"I was gone for 3 hours, and I missed so much," he said.

"You sure did," Uma said as she kissed his cheek and laughed.

Adam, and the rest nodded their heads in understanding.

"Let's go," Ben said, making Mal look up at him and nod her head.


After leaving Belle and Adam to deal with the mess at the castle, they walked over to Evie's to see more of their friends safe and sound.

"Ryder! Aziz!" Ben yelled as he ran to his friends.

The two princes saw Ben and ran to him, crashing into each other as they hugged.

"Dude! You're okay!" They said as they let Ben go and looked past him to see Mal holding Mia. "MIA!" They yelled before pushing Ben to the floor and running over to Mal.

Ben shook his head and laughed before getting up and brushing grass and dirt off his pants. He loved that his friends loved his daughter just like he did. Mal walked over to Ben and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I'm glad it's over," she said.

"Yeah," he said as he gave her a small peck on her lips. "Now, we just have to deal with the clean up."

"What are we going to do about Ariana?" she asked.

"Well, you don't have to deal with it," he said. "You may be my fiance, but you're not queen yet. You don't have to deal with it yet."

"Well, that is something I wanted to talk to you about," she said, making Ben give her a curious look.

She nudged her head toward the castle, letting him know she wanted to talk to him in private. He nodded his head, before looking over at his friends and saw that Ryder was holding Mia while Aziz was poking her stomach, and Ginny and Maddie were watching.

"Ry! Az!" Mal called, making them look toward her.

"Can you keep an eye on her? Or if she gets fussy give her to Evie?" Ben asked.

Ryder picked up Mia's hand and moved it side to side, making her laugh. The couple chuckled before walking into the castle, and up to the room Mal stayed in.

"So, what did you want to talk about, because now I'm scared that you don't want to get married," he said as he closed the door behind him.

"No," Mal said as she shook her head. "Just the opposite."

"How can it be just the opposite if we actually are getting married?" he asked as he walked up to her.

"It's the opposite because I don't want to wait to marry you," she said. "I want to be your wife as soon as we can."

Ben didn't know he could smile as big as he did, but he was wrong. He picked Mal up off the floor, making her wrap her legs around his waist as he pressed his lips to hers.

"When?" he asked as they broke their kiss. "Say… 10 minutes?" he asked, making her laugh.

"I would marry you right now, but I feel that there would be a couple of people who would kill us if we got married and they weren't there," she said, making Ben pout.

"I mean… Do our parents have to be there?" he asked jokingly.

"Yes, but I was talking more about a certain former teacup," she said, making Ben laugh out loud.

"Yeah," he said as he held onto Mal tighter. "Chip would kill us."

"More you," she said as he pressed her lips to his again.

"So, when?" he asked.

"We can decide later," she said as she pushed away from him, making him let her land on the floor. "We have to go to the hospital."


An hour later, Ben and Mal walked into Auradon Hospital to find Gil and Anthony sitting in the waiting room.

"Hey," Gil said as he stood up to give Mal a hug and shake Ben's hand. "What happened? There was an earthquake on the…"

"It's a long story," Ben said. "How is Ariana?"

"She is still asleep," Aurora said as she, Philip, Audrey, Hubert, and Stefan walked into the waiting room. "But, what I want to know is what happened."

Ben, Mal, Gil, and Anthony all sat down and told the family about what had happened today. To say they were shocked would be an understatement. They had told them everything. From when Ariana cursed Mal, to them taking Mia, to Trevor cursing Ben, and Trevor dying. Anthony told them that he was the one she was writing to and that the only reason he was in Auradon was to make sure that Trevor didn't hurt Ariana. They thanked him for the action, but they were still disappointed that Ariana would do something like this.

"So, Trevor is dead?" Leah asked.

"Yes," Mal said, nodding her head.

"And Hadie killed him?" Gil asked with an impressive tone in his voice.

"More like, dropped Trevor into the fiery pits of hell," Ben said.

"And Princess Mia is okay?" Phillip asked.

"Yes, thanks to Anthony," Ben said.

"Oh, thank the gods," Aurora said as she held her hand to her chest.

"Your majesty," a doctor said, making everyone look at him. "I am sorry to say, but due to the severity of the head injury, Princess Ariana is in a coma."

Mal's eyes widened. She may not particularly like Ariana, but she didn't want her in harm's way. She stood brom her seat and walked up to the doctor.

"What room is she in?" she asked.

"Um…"

"What room is she in?" Mal asked again.

"Room 231," he said as he pointed down the hall.

Mal nodded her head before walking out of the waiting room, and into Ariana's room. She stopped when she saw what state Ariana was in. She had a bandage around her head, and a tube coming out of her mouth that was helping her breathe.

"Mal?" Ben called as he and the rest came into the room.

She ignored Ben before walking over to Ariana and placing her hand on Ariana's head.

By earth and air,

By fire and water.

So shall you hear my call,

Powers of birth and rebirth.

Powers of silence and peace.

Heal this body and mind.

There was a glow coming from Mal's hand, and then the glow faded. When Mal pulled her hand away, Ariana's eyes started to flutter and she started to choke on the tube in her mouth. The doctor quickly helped take it out of her mouth, letting Ariana breathe on her own. She sat up and saw her family, Ben, Mal, Gil, and Anthony standing in the room.

"How are you feeling?" The doctor asked, making Ariana look up at him.

"I'm fine," she said with a raspy voice. "Better than I should feel."

The doctor checked over Ariana to make sure that all of her vitals were good, and that she was breathing fine.

"I'll leave you all to talk," he said as he left the room.

"When am I going to…"

"You're not," Mal said, cutting Ariana off.

"What?" Ariana asked in shock. "But I did horrible things. I curse you. I stole the scepter, crown, and Maleficent's spell book. I helped keep a fugitive hidden…" she said before she looked down into her lap. "And I helped Trevor take your baby."

"I know what you did, and you don't need to remind me," Mal said.

Everyone was looking at Mal in shock, everyone except for Ben.

"Why did you do it?" Ben asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I really don't understand."

"I don't even know," Ariana said as she shook her head. "I don't even know why I was mad."

"What did you think you were going to get out of it?" Aurora asked. "Ben? To be queen?"

"No," she said, shaking her head. "I don't even like Ben," she said. "Well, not in that way."

"Then why were you flirting with me in school?" Ben asked. "Sending me letters, trying to hold my hand, coming to my office, sending me provocative pictures, and hell…" he said loudly. "You even tried to love spell me."

"I'm sorry," she said.

"What I don't understand is why you were doing that?" Audrey asked. "You never were interested in Ben when we were dating or even after we broke up. Why after he and Mal started dating? It's not like he was your soulmate."

"I know," she said. "I was trying to get back at Mal for coming and ruining your life," she said.

"Mal and I are friends now!" Audrey exclaimed. "Why didn't you stop?"

"I guess I got carried away," she said. "I guess I just got mad because you got over it so fast, and you were heartbroken."

"I was heartbroken, because I was not going to be queen," Audrey exclaimed. "Not about losing Ben, which says something about the way I used to think."

Ariana hung her head in shame. She knew what she did was wrong, and that was an understatement. She cursed all of Auradon. She deserved to be sent to the Isle.

"Mal?" Ariana said as she looked up at the future queen. "Why aren't you sending me to the Isle? I did horrible things. Unforgivable things."

"Because I don't want the Isle to be considered a prison anymore," she said as she looked over at Ben who gave her an encouraging smile. "The Isle may have been a prison for villains, but there are so many good people there, and I know you are a good person who was blinded by unnecessary rage," she said as she sat down on the bed and took Ariana's hand into hers. "I have done bad things," she said. "But I was given a chance to be happy. To have a second chance."

"A chance," Ben said, correcting Mal.

"Like I was saying," Mal said as she looked at Ben and then back to Ariana. "Now that you're not blinded by false rage, how would you feel about having your second chance?"

"I don't deserve one," Ariana said as she shook her head.

Mal gave her a pointed look before sighing. "Did you hurt Alemia?" she asked, making Ariana shake her head. "Did you kill anyone?"

"No."

"Yes," Mal said as she got up and walked over to Ben. "You cursed me, and cursed Auradon, but how did you feel?"

"What?" Ariana asked.

"How do you feel right now?" she asked.

"Like shit."

"And a true villain wouldn't feel like shit," she said. "I should know," she added with a chuckle, making everyone in the room chuckle with her. "Do you think Trevor thought twice about everything he did before he did it?"

"No," Ariana said as she shook her head.

"True evil does not have regret," Mal said. "But, if you want to have the council decide a punishment for you, we can do that too," she suggested.

"I feel that would be good," Ariana said. "I don't want people to think I got off easy because I'm a princess."

"Okay," Mal said as she nodded her head. "Ben and I will get things sorted, but we want you to get some rest and get better."

"Thank you," Ariana said with a small smile. "And I am sorry for all of the horrible things I have done to you over the past two years. You're going to be an amazing Queen."

Mal gave Ariana a kind smile before feeling Ben wrap an arm around her waist.

"Yeah she is," he said as he gave her a kiss. "We're going to let you have some time alone," he said as he moved his hand from Mal's waist to her hand. "We have to pick up Mia, and have some things to plan."

"Thank you," Phillip said as he walked up to Ben and shook his hand.

"Can I stay?" Antony asked as he looked at Ariana's family. "I promise, I just want to make sure she's okay," he said as he looked over at Ariana.

"If it's okay with his majesty," Aurora said.

Ben nodded his head, and gave Gil a look just to keep an eye out in case anything happened.

"When are we going back?" Gil asked as he took a step toward Ben and Mal.

"Tomorrow," he said. "That was when you guys were leaving before this mess, and I'm not going to change it because of the fiasco that happened."

"Thank you Ben," Audrey said as she took a step closer to Gil.

Ben and Mal smile before walking out of the room hand in hand.

"Ben?" Mal said as they walked out of the hospital. "What is Ariana's soulmate mark?"

"Um…" Ben said as he started to think. "I think it's in the shape of a key, but I don't remember."

"Like the key Lady Tremaine used to lock Ella up in her room?" she asked as they got onto the limo.

Ben froze before looking at Mal with a shocked look on his face.

"No," he said. "You don't think…"

"Our marks have everything to do with our parents and their tales," she said, making Ben nod his head. "Tell me about Ariana's parents."

"Well, I don't know much other than what I have been told, but Ariana's mother was a free spirit," he said. "Phillip always described her to be like Rapunzel. I remember Audrey showing me pictures of Aurora and Gwen when they were both pregnant. I remember her having light brown hair, and a bright smile," he said, making Mal smile. "Ariana looks just like her, but there was always this one picture that Audrey loved. It was her mother and Gwen in the garden, and Gwen was covered in feathers from head to toe."

"Feathers?" Mal asked, making Ben nod his head.

"Yeah," he confirmed. "That's why Ariana has the feather necklace she wears around her neck. It's for her parents. Just like Phillips feather on his hat. He wears it for his sister."

"Feathers," Mal said again as a smile grew on her face.

"Yes," Ben said again.

"Anthony's mark is a feather," she said, making Ben raise his eyebrow at her.

"Really?" he asked. "How do you know that? I thought you guys didn't talk other than fight."

"Well, that is true," she said. "But when we were 10 Evie and I were walking to my dad's when he grabbed my hand and yanked my glove off," she said. "He showed me his, and said that I was his soulmate because the feather represented Divial."

"That's not how it works. He's not your parent," Ben said as he pulled Mal close and she leaned into his side.

"Trust me," Mal said with a laugh. "I know. But you try explaining that to a hot headed 11-year-old."

"Speaking of the whole soulmate thing," he said as he turned his head into her hair. "When does mine want to get married?"

Mal threw her head back and laughed. "How about we talk to two people that actually need to know about it before we actually do it?"

"Who?" Ben asked.

"Well, FG for one, because she is going to be officiating," she said. "And the second is Evie, because she would kill both of us if she didn;t make our outfits," she added, making Ben laugh.

"Okay," he said with a nod. "We'll call them when we get home, because I can't wait for you to be my wife," he said as he pressed his lips against hers.


"OH! MY! ZEUS!" Evie exclaimed as she ran over to her best friend and tackled her to the ground.

"Please, don;t break my fiance," Ben said, making FG laugh.

"I just can't believe that my best friend is getting married!" she said loudly. "And in a week!"

"SHHH!" Mal and Ben said as Evie got off Mal and helped her to her feet.

"We want it to be a surprise," Mal said. "We want our parents to be surprised too, and if Belle hears any wedding talk, she's going to burst through that door."

"We have so much to do," Evie said. :I have to get your dress done, and Ben's suit, not to mention a cute dress for my gorgeous goddau…" she said, but stopped and covered her mouth.

"E?" Mal said as she put a hand on Evie's shoulder.

Evie looked at Mal with wide eyes, before gagging and running to Ben's office bathroom. She slammed the door behind her. Mal walked over to the door before knockling.

"E!" Mal shouted as she knocked again. "Are you okay?"

A couple of minutes later, they heard the toilet flush and then about three minutes later Evie came out looking pale.

"I'm okay," she said.

"Evie, sweetheart," FG said as she held her hand out for Evie. "Come sit."

Evie walked over and FG guided her to the couch. Mal sat down and put Evie's head on her lap. FG checked Evie's temperature, but she wasn't warm.

"You don't have a temperature," FG said as she sat on the edge of one of the chairs. "How long have you been feeling like this?"

"Just the past two days," Evie said. "I threw up yesterday. It's probably just a small stomach bug."

"Dear, I don't want to get too nosey, but when was the last time you had your period," FG asked.

Ben's eyes widened in shock. This was not how he thought that this meeting was going to go, but it was now.

"I haven't gotten it this month yet," she said. "I am irregular," she said as she looked up at Ben. "Sorry," she said. "This may be too much information."

Ben shook his head. "No," he said. "You're okay. I have a daughter, so I am going to have to know more than I know now."

FG snapped her fingers, and a pregnancy test appeared in her hand, making Evie's eyes widen.

"Let's be better safe than sorry," she said.

Evie nodded her head before taking the test from FG and walking back into the bathroom. A couple minutes later Evie walked out, with the test in her hand and she looked even more pale than before.

"E?" Mal said as she walked up to her best friend. "What does it say?"

Evie looked at her best friend before slowly lifting the test, and showing her the positive test.

"Evie," Mal said in a surprised tone. "E! This is amazing!"

Mal pulled her best friend into a hug.

"I'm pregnant," she said.

"Congratulations, Evie," Ben said as he walked up to the blue haired princess and gave her a hug.

"I'm pregnant," she said again.

Mal could tell that Evie was scared out of her mind right now, and she knew what to say to make her feel better, or at least excited about her baby.

"Evie?" Mal said as Evie looked at Mal. "Do you remember how I was when I found out I was pregnant with Mia?" she asked, making Evie nod. "And do you remember how you and everyone else helped me, supported me, and were by my side every step of the way?"

"Yes," she said.

"Well, I am going to be there for you just like you were for me," she said, as tears started to gather in Evie's eyes.

"Really?" she asked.

"Of course I am," Mal said. "You're my best friend, and I love you and your baby."

Evie started to cry, and Mal pulled her into a hug. FG walked over to where Ben was standing, and told him that she would call him later about the wedding details, and then disappear in a cloud of light blue smoke.

"I have to tell Doug," she said as she pulled away from Mal. "He's going to freak."

"He's not going to freak," Ben said as he sat down on the other side of Evie. "He's going to be shocked at first, but then he is going to be happy. Just like I was."

"Well, you were royally pissed after being shocked," Mal said.

"Don't remind me," Ben said with a laugh. "Go and talk to Doug."

Evie took a deep breath, before nodding her head and getting up.

"I'll call you later tonight," she said as she turned back to Mal and Ben. "I already have sketches of your dress and your suit. I just want to go over them with you," she said.

"Okay," Mal said as she nodded her head.

"Thank you," Evie said with a smile before leaving Ben's office.

Later that night Ben and Mal were laying in bed, and Ben was holding Mia against his chest while Mal was facetiming her dad. After, telling her dad everything that happened with Trevor, and the crazy day. He had asked Mal how Hadie was going, and she told him that he was fine and asleep in his bed. After talking for what felt like hours, Mal and Ben told Hades that they wanted him, Seph, and the VKs that helped them today, to come for a visit in a week. Hades didn't even hesitate to agree before saying goodbye and that he would call in the morning to talk with Hadie.

"So, we have your dress done, my suit is done, and Mia's dress is done," Ben said as he put Mia in the small bed they had in the room for her.

"Now all we need is to say 'I do'," she said. "But I am sure that Evie is going to be making a dress for her and a suit for Chip too."

"Should I have told Chip?" he asked as he jumped on the bed, making Mal laugh.

"No," she said, shaking her head. "I want to see the look on his face when he finds out and you tell him."

Ben laughed before he wrapped his arms around his fiance's waist.

"I can't wait to be married to you," he said as he put his nose against hers.

"And I can't wait to be your wife," she said as she pressed her lips to his.


A week later Mal, Ben, and the rest of their Auradon friends were standing by the edge of Auradon, waiting for Mal's family, and the rest of the VKs to come from the Isle.

"There they come," Hadie yelled as he pointed to the limo crossing over the ocean, making Ben and Mal smile at each other.

As the limo got closer, Ben and Mal started to get even more eager. They had been keeping the secret for a week, and just for that short amount of time was eating them alive. The limo stopped in front of all the royals, and Hades was the first to step out.

"What's…" he started but was cut off by Mal and Hadie jumping on him. "Hello?" he said. "I thought we were meeting you at the castle?"

"Plans changed," Mal said as she pulled away from her dad.

"Hello, Mally," Seph said as she walked around her husband and wrapped Mal in a hug.

"Hi, mom," Mal said.

"Not that I'm not excited to see you 30 minutes sooner, but I see a tiny princess that I want to hug," Hades said as he walked over to Mia and took her out of Adam's arms.

"Gil!" Audrey yelled as she ran over to Gil as he got out of the car.

Gil picked up Audrey and spun her around, before giving her a kiss on the lips. Everyone said their hellos, and when everyone was done, Ben cleared his throat.

"I would like to say something," he said, making everyone look at him in confusion. "First, I am glad that all of you are here, and I couldn't imagine this day without all of you."

"Huh?" Uma said as he crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well, to elaborate on what Ben said," Mal said as she walked over to her finance. "Ben and I are getting married. Today. Right here and right now."

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed.

"Aunt Jen," Ben said as he held his arm out for FG.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo," she said as he held her wand out and surrounded Ben and Mal in blue smoke.

When the smoke cleared Ben and Mal were standing there in new clothes. Mal was wearing a beautiful wedding dress, made of flowing satin, shimmering chiffon, and it was purple and white. Ben's suit was almost like his coronation suit, but more traditional.

"Wait," Hades said as he held his hand out. "I'm not ready for this," he said. "She's my baby. I thought I was going to have more time to prepare," he said as he stood there with a gape in his mouth. "Seph…" he said as he turned to his wife to see her crying.

"You look absolutely gorgeous, Mally!" she said as she walked up to Mal, pulled her into a hug, and sobbed.

Belle did the same with Ben while everyone, except for FG and Evie, stood there in shock.

"I think that we are missing a few guests," FG said before she raised her hand and more people appeared in puffs of blue smoke.

Lumier, Cogsworth, Mrs, Potts, Fifi, Chip, Aurora, Phillip, and Ariana were now standing with everyone else.

"What's going on?" Chip asked as he took his toothbrush out of his mouth. "I couldn't even finish brushing my teeth?"

"Well, I didn't think you wanted to miss my wedding," Ben said, making Chip look over at Ben and Mal.

"What?!" They all exclaimed.

"Mal and I are getting married today, right now," Ben said. "And I needed my best man to be here," he said as he walked up to Chip and gave him a hug.

"Speaking of," Evie said as she walked up to Hades and took Mia out of his arms, and then walked over to Chip. "FG."

FG pointed her wand at the three of them, making another cloud of smoke surround them. When it cleared, Evie was standing there in a royal blue dress with lace covering the top of the dress, Mia was in a lilac dress with a blue bow in her hair, and Chip was in a royal blue tux with a lilac bow.

"Well," Seph said as she walked up to Mal and Ben. "Since this was a surprise, I can at least make this a beautiful venus for you," she said as she held her hands out.

Seph conjured the trees to create a beautiful awning, and the large roots grew larger to create seats for everyone. She created vines that cascaded over the awning with beautiful enchanting flowers. Mal looked at everything in awe, and turned to see all of her loved ones smiling.

You don't know you've been looking 'til you find it

Don't know what you've been missing 'til it's there

It's stronger than a spell, it's magic in itself

It's an ever after like you've never felt

She sang as she walked over to Mia and picked her up out of Evie's arms.

It's the sum of the times of your life

It's the person you're standing beside

And it's the pride that you're feeling inside

For who you are, you've come so far

She gave Mia to Belle and walked over to Ben who spun Mal into his arms.

I'm feeling the la-la-love

La-la-love

You make me feel alive

True love you can't deny

I'm feeling that dream come true

Here with you

And love is around us too

Ooh, and I feel the love (I'm feeling the)

(Ooh, make you feel alive)

Everyone started to make their way to their seats, happy to be a part of what was going to be a happily ever after. Ben spun Mal, before letting her go and her to be caught by her dad. She smiled up at him, before she was wrapped in a hug by her mom, brother and her dad. She never knew that this is how she would get married, or that she would get married at all, but she was happy to have them there for her.

The journey might not always be that easy

Twist and turns can take you anywhere

Together or apart, you gotta trust your heart 'cause

The power of true love will get you there

The four of them sang before Evie, Jay, and Carlos joined them.

Yeah, it's the sum of the times of your life (Your life)

And it's the person you're standing beside (Oh)

Yeah, it's the pride that you're feeling inside (Yeah)

From where you are

And it's just the start

Mal was engulfed by her best friends, and couldn't help but smile and be happy for the change that had happened in the past two years.

I'm feeling the la-la-love

La-la-love

You make me feel alive

True love you can't deny

I'm feeling that dream come true

Here with you

And love is around us too

Ooh, and I feel the love (I'm feeling the)

(You make me feel alive)

(I'm feeling the)

(You make me feel alive)

Ben walked over to Mal and spun her back into his arms, holding her close as they started to sing together.

For good and for better I found my forever

I can't wait to know where our story goes

This moment, this feeling is one you can't measure

I'm feelin' it

I'm feelin' it

Are you feeling it?

Adam and Belle walked up to them, and Belle gave Mia to Seph before looping her arm with Ben's. Seph and Hadie walked down the aisle with their arms looped through each other and Mia was on Seph's hip. Adam and Belle walked Ben down the aisle, while Belle sobbed. Evie and Chip walked down the aisle arm in arm, and smiled as everyone was getting excited. Hades held his hand out for Mal, trying to hold his tears in. He had always wanted Mal to have a good life, and he was happy that she was getting everything he had hoped for her and more.

I'm feeling the la-la-love (I'm feeling the love)

La-la-love

You make me feel alive

True love you can't deny

I'm feeling that dream come true (Dream come true)

Here with you

And love is around us too (Love, love, love)

Ooh, and I feel the love

Everyone sang as Mal and Hades walked down the aisle. She had a smile on her face as she saw everyone. Jay, Carlos, Audrey, Chad, Gil, Uma, Harry, Jane, Lonnie, Doug, Ryder, Aziz, Dizzy, Celia, Squeaky, Squirmy, Lumier, Cogsworth, Fifi, Mrs. Potts, Aurora, Phillip, Ariana, Freddie, Sammy, CJ, Maddie, Ginny, and Anthony. She was happy. Happier than she thought she ever would be. She looked forward and saw Ben looking at her with a bright smile on his face. Father and daughter stopped at the front of the altar, and Hades gave Ben Mal's hand. Mal took a couple of steps and faced her handsome fiance.

I'm feeling the la-la-love

La-la-love

I'm feeling the la-la-love

Mal finished singing as she gazed into Ben's eyes. FG stood in front of Ben and Mal before clearing her throat.

"Today, we are not only here to join Mal and Ben in matrimony, but to join two souls as one," she said.

Ben and Mal didn't break their gaze. They were too lost in each other that they weren't paying attention to what FG was saying until she called Ben's name.

"I believe you both have written your own vows," she said.

Ben smiled and nodded before taking Mal's hands and bringing them close to his chest. "Do you remember the very first day that we met?" he asked, making Mal chuckle. "I knew the very first moment I saw you. I knew we were meant to be together for all of our days," he said, making her smile as her cheeks flushed pink. "You have become my lover, my companion, and my best friend," he said, making Aziz and Ryder gasp. "Shut up," Ben said as he held his fingers up to the two goofballs. "There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love and my wife, for eternity. You have taught me that two people joined together with respect, trust, and open communication can be far stronger and happier than each could ever be alone," he said as Mal's eyes started to water. "You are the strength I didn't know I needed, and the joy that I didn't know I lacked. You have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to love you for who you are, and for who you are yet to become. I promise to be patient, and to remember that all things between us are rooted in love. I promise to nurture your dreams and to help you reach them," he said as he wiped Mal's tears from her face. "I promise to share my whole heart with you, Mal, and to remember to show you how deeply I care for you, no matter the challenges that may come our way. I promise to love you loyally and fiercely—as long as I shall live," he finished.

Everyone who was in attendance had tears in their eyes. Even the VKs were shedding tears.

"Mal," FG said. "I believe that you have vows too."

"I guess we are both starting off with questions," Mal said, making Ben chuckle. "How lucky am I to call you mine?" she asked. "Today, surrounded by all of our loved ones, I choose you to be my husband. I am proud to become your wife and to join my life with yours," she said, making Ben smile. "I am madly in love with you, Ben. Not only do I promise that my love for you will grow with each day, but I promise to be your friend and partner every step of the way. Your love and trust makes me a better person, each and every day," she said, making Ben shed his own tears. "You love me in love and complete me in ways I never knew possible. For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people love each other truly. You were there for my greatest challenges. You encouraged me to grow. You helped believe in myself and become the person that I am today," she told him and she pulled him a little closer. "I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your kin and your partner in all of life's adventures is all I could hope for in the world," she asid, making Belle sob a little harder than she was before. "I vow to support you, inspire you, and love you always. I will be there for you, day or night, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I trust, appreciate, cherish, and respect you. I promise to share with you my hopes and dreams as we build our lives together. In your arms and by your side, I know I can do anything. I give you myself, the good, the bad, the wicked, the snarkiness, and the all that is yet to come. You, my love, are my everything, and I am proud to call you my husband."

Ben couldn't help himself. He grabbed the side of Mal's face and kissed her deeply. Her words made his heart melt.

"You're too early, Ben!" Ryder exclaimed, making everyone laugh.

Mal and Ben pulled apart and smiled at each other, before FG continued.

"Do you, Benjamin Florian Anderson, take Mallory Bertha Drakos," she said.

"Bertha!" Uma exclaimed and laughed.

"Shut it, Gertrude," Mal said as she smirked at her cousin.

FG chuckled before continuing. "To be your wife?"

"I do," Ben said with a bright smile on his face.

"Do you, Mallory Bertha Drakos, take Benjamin Florian Anderson," she said. "To be your husband?"

"I do," she said.

Evie and Chip brought over the ring and gave them to Ben and Mal. They slipped the rings on each other's finger, before interlocking their fingers.

"You may kiss the bride," FG said.

Ben wasted no time in pulling Mal in for another passionate kiss, but this was their first kiss as a married couple.

"May I present, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson!" FG exclaimed, making everyone cheer loudly.

"I love you," Ben said against Mal's lips.

"And I love you," she said as she looked up at her husband and smiled.

They turned toward their family and friends who were still clapping and cheering.

"We're married!"


Well That's it for now Lovies! Please let me know what you think!

Until next time my lovies! xoxo GM
