Mal scowled as she watched the snowfall from the sky while sitting inside the shared apartment. Maleficent looked through the mail as she furrowed her brows, " Mallory. Come here.", Maleficent commanded from the other room, Mal groaned and got up walking to the living seeing her mother holding a nicely seal parchment paper while reading quietly as her red nail were delicately placed on the paper, " You are invited to Auradon Prep…", she muttered as her mother's usual cold and detached demeanor slowly went into...happiness? Mal furrowed her brows and looked at the letter, " I'm not going.", she says defensively, Maleficent quickly frowned, " I recall that I didn't give you a choice.", she says coldly, Mal stopped her footsteps as she turned around and looked at her mother, " Mother- I don't want to go to a school with some prissy princesses and annoying ass birds.", she said firmly until Maleficent roughly grabbed her chin as her eyes swirled a green hue almost like storm clouds in an endless black sea, "Mallory. Do you believe I care?", Maleficent asked as her red nails almost pierced in her pale skin she felt as if the slow trickle of blood fell on her face. Mal felt the air go still and the cold winter air became more bitter and harsher, " N-No…", Mal sputtered out as Maleficent harshly let go of her face, " You will go to Auradon and finish what we started. That is an order.", she said coldly, " Yes mother...", Mal replied as she went back to her room.

Uma stared at the parchment letter flipping it back and forth, "Auradon huh?…", she muttered while looking out the window while smirking, " UMA!", a voice shrills, Uma groaned as she went downstairs, " What?!", she shouted back, Ursula frowned as she hit Uma with her tentacles, " Rude ass little girl. Get my remote.", she commanded while Uma sighed and handed her the remote, "What you got an attitude now?", Ursula asked snatched the remote, "Fix ya damn face before I fix it for you.", she scolded as she went back to eating some expired krill. Uma rolled her eyes and went back to her room," Ah- no come back here.", Ursula said, Uma frowned as she turned around, " What?", she said, " Don't say what. Sit down.", Ursula scolded before Uma sat down on the tattered loveseat, " You know what..that Auradon place might be good for you.", she said, Uma raised her brow, " Maybe they can teach you some manners and not make you an ungrateful brat. Anyways go open the shop I want it open today.", Ursula said, " Mom it's fucking winter! No one is going to be outside!", Uma shouted defensively, " You have damn time to run around the Isle and do stupid ass shit. So you can open the damn shop.", Ursula said harshly, " I keep the damn lights on in this house.", Uma sighed as she got up and went downstairs to the shop.

Jay sighed as he fought through the snowstorm and closed the door, "What do you have Jay?", Jafar asked hastily quickly getting up from the chair, " No one was out…it's snow season remember?", Jay said as he took off his shoes, Jafar hissed in anger while Iago rolled his eyes, " Of course he can't get anything you old dolt! It's snowin' outside! What do you want him to bring? Snowflakes?", he squawked angrily, "Shut up you old hen!", Jafar barked back as the two started to bicker back and forth while Jay only sighed and looked at a load of mail on the table, " Papa you didn't check the mail!", he scolded before looking through the clutter of papers and envelopes before catching a glimpse of a polished paper. He pulled out the paper and opened it reading the letter, " Jay, Son of Jafar you have been chosen for the Descendants Act Program at Auradon Prep.", he read quietly, "Dad!", he called, " Did you know this was in the mail?", he asked as he held up the parchment. Jafar raised his brows, " Hand it to me.", he commanded as Jay gave it to him. Jafar placed on his glasses, " Auradon! Son this is wonderful! Our legacy will be restored!", he exclaimed, Iago rolled his eyes, " Impossible this could be as real as your hair. Fake!", Iago barked, Jafar frowned, " I should've left you in that stupid lamp.", he bickered, " Oh save it you should be in a box floating down a river grandpa!", Iago shouted back Jay coughed stopping the argument between the two, " I don't really do uniforms and besides you can't hold down the shop on your own.", he excused, Jafar scowled," Who cares! You can make us rich, boy! Rich!", Jafar raved.

" But papa…"

" But nothing! You're going!"

Evie sat in the mirror as she fixed her appearance as a sound of door opening diverted her attention seeing her mom stare at her daughter frantically holding a parchment paper, "This is it!", she exclaimed, Evie furrowed her brows in confusion, "Mommy what do you mean?", she asked as she looked at the parchment, "You're going to be able to meet a prince! Auradon are full of them!", her mother enthused, Evie gave her mom a slight tense smile while fixing her posture, " Yeah…a prince…", she said her voice trailing off, " God- child don't doddle! Prepare! Son of Lucifer you dress like a rat compared to them don't embarrass me!", the Evil Queen said leaving the room while Evie bit her lip feeling her suddenly now chapped lips as sudden droplets of the blood hit her tongue while curling her fists.

Carlos cuddled himself close in the old comforter as he looked at the parchment paper as he gently tried to iron out the wrinkles from his mom crumpling it and throwing it away, "Carlos Oscar De Vil….you..have..been..chosen for the Descendants Act Program at Auradon Prep.", he read out smiling as each word rolled off the tongue as he held the letter close to him before looking at a polaroid of a four-year-old Carlos and a cat, "Hey Bee...I made it…", he said, " Isn't that amazing?", he asked, " Imagine what we get to see…the sun...good food...oh trees!", he enthused. He smiled while looking at the somewhat dampened ceiling, " It's going to be great.", he said while smiling.

Harry looked at the letter with hesitance as he chucked the knife on his wall for the 20th time for today. Harriet sat next to him as she pushed back her brown hair, "I mean…you should take it Harry…", she said, Harry frowned, " Then what about the shop? CJ?", he asked, Harriet, smacked his back, "Since you had a change of heart? Your dumbass tried to taunt a bloody crocodile. I think going here is good for ye and we can stop weakening the gene pool. If only we can kick out CJ…", Harriet teased leaving his room before a knife hit the door," Wench!", he called out, "Raccoon!", Harriet replied from the door. Harry smirked to himself as he flipped the paper back and forth,

" Maybe we can make a few changes…"

Gil looked at the letter slightly frowning as he looked at the letter, "So…I'm going to Auradon?...", he asked as he looked up at his mom, " Yep. ", she replied as she cleaned the somewhat rusted mugs, " It's better for you Gilbert…the Isle of the Lost isn't ideal for your education…", Gil pursed his lip, " I lived in Auradon since forever until the war was over and I made a choice…I don't want you to end back up in this shit hole back alley prison.", his mom said. Gil nodded trying not to prod any further.
