The sky soon began to get very dark as Maleficent left the Moors to go and confront Stefan as she was angered and disappointed in him.
"This is bad." Felicity said.
"I hope this gets a happy ending." Aurelia said.
"Maleficent, don't you want some followers to help avenge your success?" Esabella asked.
"What are you DOING?!" Felicity gasped.
Esabella's response was an innocent grin on her face.
"...You're right," Maleficent replied. "I've been betrayed, so I'll need someone to help appoint me to higher and future success."
"Well, we would gladly be of service." Esabella said.
'What is she up to?' Chip thought to himself.
"I'll definitely need some back-up." Maleficent nodded as she walked off.
The four teenagers soon followed after her as Maleficent appeared to be going into her villainous nature.
"It's time for some changes in the Moors..." Maleficent said as she began to create something with her magic.
"Her castle..." Felicity whispered as she had a guess as to what was happening now.
Diaval soon flew beside them as they ventured further into the Moors as things would change indeed.
"Her wings!" Some creatures cried as they noticed something very different about Maleficent today.
'She's aware of what's happened to her wings, she does not need a reminder.' Esabella thought to herself.
The darkness and the trees soon began to grow and expand as Maleficent was in a very unhappy mood right now and the darkness capitalized on that. Now she was acting more like the Maleficent that Felicity and Chip were told about from 20 years ago. Diaval cawed as he flew over to Maleficent as she sat down on her new throne and she let him perch on her as the creatures looked over and around her as the Moors were different that day. The tree guards soon snarled at the other creatures as Maleficent sat on her new throne and the creatures began to bow down to her as the lightning flashed and she stroked Diaval's feathers.
'This is going according to plan.' Esabella thought to herself.
Some time had passed. In the kingdom, the servants were hard at work and some news had floated around as Maleficent was in her lair with Diaval and her new "friends".
"I'm not sure if I wanna do this anymore." Aurelia said as she was alone with Esabella.
"Aurelia, you of all people should know that in this world, there are winners and there are losers," Esabella advised. "And sometimes to be a winner, you have to have a little fun."
"Including jeopardizing the existence of the descendants from the Disney Realm?" Aurelia asked with wide eyes.
"Why, yes," Esabella smirked. "I thought you'd be happy... This way your Aunt Nettle will go down in history and not Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather for what they did to her in Enchancia."
"I did want my Aunt Nettle to go down in history, but not like this." Aurelia said.
"You should have thought of that before you cast that spell that my mother let you borrow," Esabella replied firmly. "Especially since The Queen of Darkness's plan must unfold before Prince Ben gets a chance to marry the original Maleficent's daughter."
Aurelia frowned.
"Now, who's your best friend?" Esabella smirked.
"You are..." Aurelia sighed sharply.
"Don't you forget that either," Esabella smirked. "And maybe if I'm lucky, I can enchant the daughter of Cherry like my mother enchanted Maestro Forte during Belle and Adam's enchanted Christmas together... She doesn't fit in with the rest of us anyway~"
"R-Right." Aurelia frowned.
Esabella smirked at that. Diaval and Felicity soon flew into town, Felicity as a bat, as they went into the kingdom outside of the Moors.
"Felicity, why are you encouraging this?" Chip frowned at himself. "This isn't like you."
"We better go along with what Maleficent wants," Esabella told him as she winked at him. "Otherwise we might get hurt."
"Right and we've already seen what happens when she's angered." Chip said, stepping back slightly.
"Glad to see you're catching on, Kitchen Boy." Esabella remarked.
"...W-What did you call me?" Chip asked.
Esabella just smirked at him as her eyes flashed before she looked back.
"...I know you from somewhere, I just know it... I just can't think of from where..." Chip said to her suspiciously.
Diaval and Felicity both soon heard the news and found out that King Stefan and his queen were going to have a baby girl.
"You hear that?" Felicity chirped at Diaval.
"I sure did," Diaval cawed as he nodded. "It's a girl and the kingdom is expecting a princess."
"Let's go then." Felicity smirked as her eyes flashed suddenly before they flew off together.
Maleficent sat in the Moors, waiting patiently before the two soon came back, using magic to change back Diaval while Felicity used her own vampire magic to change back so that they could share the news with the Mistress of Evil. "Well?" she then prompted.
"Well, I saw nothing, but there's been a, um-" Diaval began.
"What?" Maleficent asked.
"Child," Felicity replied. "King Stefan and his Queen have had a child. There will be a christening. They say it's to be a grand celebration for Princess Aurora." she then added knowingly.
"A grand celebration for a baby," Maleficent said with an evil smile. "How wonderful."
"Shall we attend?" Felicity asked.
"Oh, yes, we shall." Maleficent smirked.
"Excellent." Felicity replied.
Chip frowned and shook his head as he hated to see Felicity acting like this. The whole kingdom came to make it over to the christening celebration for Baby Aurora as it was a proud day in the kingdom.
"All manner of folk came to the christening, even a trio of fairies who sought to foster peace and goodwill." The narrator soon informed as Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit soon came to the christening as well like in the old story with Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather.
"Oh, there's the baby." Flittle beamed.
"Oh, I love babies." Thistlewit added.
"Can you just concentrate, please?" Knotgrass scolded the other two as they flew over to meet the king and queen. "I'm not telling you again."
The three fairies soon flew over to Stefan and his queen, who was named Leila and not Leah.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," Knotgrass smiled innocently as she flew with the other two pixies in front of the new parents. "I am Knotgrass of the Moorland Fair Folk."
"I'm Flittle, Your Kingship." The blue fairy added as she curtsied.
"And I'm Thistletwit, Your Royalnesses." The green fairy added as she did the same.
Stefan glanced at the fairies.
"They bring gifts for our daughter." Queen Lelia whispered to her husband.
"These are not just any old gifts," Flittle soon said before showing off her own magic. "For, you see, we're magic!"
"And very good with children." Knotgrass then added.
Stefan glanced at them, then to his queen before he nodded and allowed the three pixies to meet his new daughter. "Very well." he then told them.
"Sweet Aurora, I wish for you the gift of beauty." Knotgrass smiled as she flew over to the baby princess and used her magic to bestow her gift on her.
"My wish is that you'll never be blue, only happy for all the days of your life." Flittle added as she also smiled at the baby princess as she bestowed her gift on her next.
Baby Aurora cooed and wiggled before nearly sneezing as Flittle's butterflies landed on her nose as she met the pixies.
"Sweet baby, my wish for you is that you find-" Thistlewhit smiled as she was about to take her turn before something was heard from behind which startled her.
Suddenly, a great wind blew through the hall as Maleficent was soon walking towards Stefan and Leila with Felicity, Chip, Aurelia, and Esabella.
"Maleficent!" Some of the others gasped.
"Crashin' the party, guess they lost my invitation~" Felicity began to sing like Mal in an evil-sounding voice.
"I'm beginning to like this Felicity." Esabella smirked.
"Yeah, well, I'm beginning to miss the Felicity I fell in love with." Chip whispered to himself.
"Well, well... What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan," Maleficent smirked before she glanced over at the guests. "Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and..." she then added with a sinister laugh as she looked at the pixies who used to be her friends. "How quaint. Even the rabble. I must say we really felt quite distressed at not receiving invitations." she then gestured at the teenagers beside her.
"You're not welcome here." Stefan glowered.
"Oh?" Maleficent replied in mock offense before laughing. "Oh, dear. What an awkward situation."
"You're not offended?" Queen Lelia asked, nervously a bit.
"Why, no..." Maleficent reassured. "And to show I bear no ill will, I too, shall bestow a gift on the child."
"After all, we did come all this way; the least Maleficent could do is give the princess a gift." Felicity said.
"No! We don't want your gift!" Stefan soon called out firmly to the dark fairy.
Maleficent soon approached Baby Aurora's crib.
"Stay away from the princess!" Knotgrass demanded.
"Yes, stay away!" Thistletwit added.
Maleficent then used her magic to toss aside the pixies fairies and they landed inside a chest.
"You three deserted Maleficent," Felicity scolded the pixies. "You deserve this."
"Yep, she's right." Aurelia nodded.
"Oh, yeah." Esabella added.
"Hmm... Mmm..." Maleficent hummed to herself as she examined Baby Aurora before she soon spoke again. "Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her." she then said.
"That's a lovely gift." Queen Lelia approved.
"Don't do this." Stefan whispered protectively.
Esabella glanced over while Aurelia waited to see what would happen. There had to be more than just that considering Maleficent was The Mistress of all Evil no matter what universe this was supposed to be.
"That's it?" Felicity asked Maleficent.
"Just a moment, dear~," Maleficent smirked as she saw a spindle on a spinning wheel in the background. "But before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a sleep-like death!" she soon said as she sounded more like her evil self. "A sleep from which she will never awaken!"
"Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you." Stefan begged as he began to worry along with his loyal subjects.
"I like you begging," Maleficent grinned darkly. "Do it again."
"I-I beg of you." Stefan told her.
"Alright..." Maleficent smirked before she thought of one condition. "The princess can be woken from her death sleep, but only by true love's kiss. This curse will last 'til the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!" she then proclaimed.
"Maleficent!" Aurelia frowned.
"Like you expected anything different from her?" Esabella asked Aurelia. "You mess with a weasel, you're gonna get scratched."
"I was just hoping she wouldn't be evil and maybe we could be her friend until we made it back home." Aurelia said softly, feeling guilty.
Esabella tutted and shook her head. "Let's go, Mal." she then decided.
"Very well, my dears," Maleficent smirked before she disappeared with them in a beam of green flames. "You catch on quick~"
Maleficent and the others soon left the castle, making their way back to where they were staying.
'I'm really starting to regret of what I did.' Aurelia thought to herself.
"King Stefan ordered his men to seize every spinning wheel in the kingdom," The narrator soon said as the same thing happened like it did when Maleficent cursed Aurora in the other timeline. "The wheels were broken and burned, that they might never be used, and thrown into the deepest dungeon in the castle. Secretly, he entrusted the safety of the child to the magic of the pixies, who would take her to a remote hideaway for 16 years and a day."
Stefan soon carried his daughter in his arms before giving her up to the pixies since it would be for the princess's own good.
"Stefan shut himself behind the walls of his castle while his soldiers rode far and wide to hunt Maleficent down, but she made walls of her own, that the Moors might never again suffer the touch of any human." The narrator continued.
Maleficent soon used her magic to grow massive thorned trees surrounding the Moors with some of Felicity's help as something began to influence her to become evil.
"And she reveled in the sorrow that her curse had brought," The narrator continued as it was time for Aurora to live far away right now. "The fairies began their charge to raise Aurora in a snug little cottage in the woods."
Aurelia looked around and she soon went to sneak out of the Moors.
"Where are you going?" Chip's voice asked, startling her and making her look over to see him. "Because I wanna go too."
"My magic isn't strong enough to send us back home and forget about this ever happening... I was going to get away from Maleficent for a while..." Aurelia said softly so not to get the evil woman's attention. "Like Felicity's mother and uncle did with Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather."
"But if she catches you, she won't trust you." Chip said.
"I know, but I thought for sure that we would become her friend and that she wouldn't be evil." Aurelia replied.
"Well, this might be crazy, but I don't think she's all the way evil," Chip said. "Now, Stefan, he is the one that's evil for what he did to her."
"You really think so?" Aurelia asked.
"Think about it," Chip said softly. "They were good friends... She was probably even in love with him... But he took her wings and he became king... He sort of betrayed her and hurt her."
"It hurts when someone you really love and trust betrays you like that," Aurelia replied. "Especially your best friend."
"Tell me about it..." Chip sighed as he thought that way about Felicity.
"I'll do my best to try and stay out of Maleficent's sight while you stay here and try and keep Felicity the way she was before this adventure." Aurelia told him.
"...All right," Chip replied. "I certainly hope I do... I've known this girl for a long time... She was my best friend... Then she became my girlfriend... And now... I hope we can start a life together."
"That's so romantic, Chip," Aurelia smiled. "I hope for the best for you both."
Chip smiled back before they split up and Aurelia went to catch up with Knotgrass, Thistletwit, and Flittle.
'I hope they won't react too badly when I come over.' Aurelia thought to herself.
The pixies were soon coming closer to the cottage until they heard a twig snap.
"Who's that?" Knotgrass asked protectively. "Who's there?"
Aurelia soon stepped out to see the pixies.
"It's that girl who was with Maleficent." Flittle glared.
"We should turn you into a toad for what your mistress did to this poor baby." Thistletwit added.
"Please, listen to me," Aurelia said as she put her hands up. "I won't hurt you."
The three pixies looked at each other before looking over at her.
"I'm rebelling against Maleficent," Aurelia explained to them. "I'm so sorry that she cursed the princess and I can't change that. I feel really bad about what happened, but I'll stay with you... Almost like an apprentice. I know I don't seem like it to you, in fact, I haven't earned my wings yet, but if you let me come with you, I won't bring any more harm to Princess Aurora."
"Hmm... Well, alright." Knotgrass nodded.
"We could use all the help we can get." Thistlewit said.
"You're sure?" Aurelia asked.
"You can come with us, but we'll be watching you," Flittle replied. "I just hope you don't end up tricking us. We don't like using our powers for violence."
"I know what you mean." Aurelia said softly as they walked off together to get to the woods.
They soon ended up at a cottage.
'Well, this is it.' Aurelia thought to herself.
"Oh, no! Is this it?" Knotgrass asked once they got there.
"Looks dreadful." Flittle commented.
"Come on." Knotgrass then told the other two.
Aurroa was then carried in her basket as the pixies flew her over to the cottage, though she was a bit heavier than they had expected.
"Oh, we need a smaller-" Thistletwit groaned, nearly dropping Aurora.
Aurelia gasped and she soon quickly caught Aurora before she would hit the ground and get hurt. "Whew! That was close," The teenage fairy sighed before facing the three pixies. "You don't need Aurora to be smaller, you three need to be bigger."
"No, what we need is a proper disguise." Knotgrass replied as Aurelia kept a hold of Aurora for them.
"What do you mean?" Flittle asked.
"Well, we have to blend in, don't we?" Knotgrass replied. "I also think the dear might be right. We have to be big enough to look after this baby. So, gather around, ladies. Get ready. One, two, three, grow!" she then signaled.
The three pixies then began to spin and they suddenly turned into human-like forms.
"Hey, not bad." Aurelia chuckled at them.
"Why thank you, my dear." Knotgrass said.
"Now just for your disguises," Aurelia replied. "Um... Perhaps you could be Aurora's adoptive aunts."
"...Yes, that might work out just fine," Knotgrass nodded thoughtfully. "That's very nice. Now, there will be no questions asked. We are no longer fairies. We are three peasant women raising our orphan child in the woods." she then added.
"And as for me?" Aurelia asked them.
"You will be our young ward." Knotgrass decided.
Aurelia then nodded as that sounded good enough.
"Yes." Thistletwit added.
"So, uh... No more flying." Knotgrass began.
"No flying?" Thistletwit then gasped.
"No, no, and no magic." Knotgrass replied.
"No magic?" Thistletwit then asked in shock.
"Yes, you heard." Knotgrass nodded as they went over to the cottage.
"Well, they at least seem like they'll be good guardians." Aurelia said to Aurora in her arms.
"It's in the middle of nowhere." Flittle sighed as they explored the inside of the cottage.
"At least no one will find us here." Thistletwit remarked.
Baby Aurora soon bunched a little and began to cry.
"Come on, let's get you inside, please don't cry." Aurelia said softly to the baby girl. She began to do her best to try and keep Baby Aurora from crying and when night time came, the three now pixie, humans and Aurelia were fast asleep in the cottage with Aurora in her rocker.
"There you are. Why are you always hiding?" Thistletwit asked Baby Aurora as she came to pick up the baby girl. "Come on. There you go."
Aurelia rolled her eyes and shook her head as she began to help out the pixies. Diaval was shown and he was soon flying back over to Maleficent to tell her of what was going on.
Later that night, the pixies were now fast asleep and where so was Aurelia, not knowing Maleficent and the others came over to the cottage and looked through one of the windows. Felicity began to look evil which made Esabella look proud, but Chip looked scared and concerned.
"Hmm... It's so ugly, you could almost feel sorry for it." Maleficent remarked as she took a look at the baby girl.
Baby Aurora smiled at Maleficent. Maleficent stared at her and soon snarled, trying to look as frightening as possible. Baby Aurora frowned briefly before smiling again, so happy and carefree.
"I hate you," Maleficent narrowed her eyes at the baby princess. "Beasty."
"So, are we really going to leave her in the hands of those three?" Chip asked while pointing to the three sleeping pixies. "Because I don't think they've ever raised a human child before."
"I would take her myself if I had the chance," Maleficent replied mysteriously. "I once had a child."
"...Wait, what?" Chip's eyes widened.
Maleficent soon turned away suddenly and decided to get going, leaving Baby Aurora on her own.
"Did she just say what I think she just said?" Chip asked.
"Oui, I believe that she did." Felicity nodded.
"The fairies were perhaps unequal to their task." The narrator narrated as Maleficent left the cottage.
Baby Aurora soon cried as the pixies tried to look after her, but they weren't very good at it.
"Why is she crying?" Flittle wondered.
"I think she might be hungry." Thistletwit guessed.
"Then feed her!" Knotgrass glared as they worked outside of the cottage.
Diaval and Felicity were shown to be spying on them in their bord and bat forms.
"Hungry baby~" Thistetwit cooed as Flittle took out some carrots and radishes.
"There you are. There you go." Flittle told the baby, giving her the vegetables.
Diaval and Felicity shook their heads in disbelief.
"It's going to starve with those three looking after it!" Maleficent complained in frustration as she covered her ears.
"Oh, give me those!" Aurelia told the pixies firmly as she took the vegetables.
"No magic, dear." Knotgrass reminded.
"I don't need magic to do this..." Aurelia said as she took a spoon and began to mash the vegetables to turn them into mushed baby food and she soon mixed them up a bit and held out the spoon for Baby Auroa. "Here you go... I bet you want this, huh?"
Baby Aurora sniffled and she soon began to eat the mushed food and stopped crying. Diaval and Felicity soon looked relieved that Aurelia fed Baby Aurora at least that helped stop her from crying. The pixies also looked relieved. Aurelia smiled as she fed Baby Aurora easily, being a much better babysitter than the older fairies.
Later that night, everyone had gone straight to sleep after a long day of chores and looking after the baby princess.
'Today was a bit of a challenge, but still, I'm glad I helped out today with Aurora.' Aurelia thought to herself as she got some sleep.
Diaval and Felicity flew over to check on how the baby was doing.
"It tickles..." Thistletwit giggled as she was tickled by the butterflies in her sleep.
Baby Aurora soon woke up again and began to cry again eventually. Felicity soon gave a flower to Baby Aurora as she cried and soon stopped at the sight of the flower. Diaval soon came beside the rocker and decided to help rock the baby back to sleep once she had stopped crying.
'Looks like Aurelia will need some help raising this baby since the pixies don't seem to be very good at raising a human child.' Felicity thought to herself.
The next day soon came as Knotgrass and Thistlewit were playing a game. Aurelia kept an eye on Aurora as the two pixies played their game together.
Knotgrass was about to make a move until her hand was suddenly grabbed by Flittle. "What?" she then asked the green fairy.
"You're cheating." Flittle glared at her.
"I saw that!" Thistletwit added.
"We're starting again." Flittle glared as she moved the pieces around the board as Aurelia babysat for them.
"Suit yourself." Knotgrass shrugged as they moved the pieces.
"Greedy, bloated goat!" Flittle spat out before she and Thistletwit laughed at that.
Aurelia rolled her eyes in the background.
As Knotgrass went to start their game again, water suddenly started dripping from the ceiling onto her. "Stop doing that." she then glared.
"I'm not doing anything." Flittle said innocently.
"Well, someone is." Knotgrass replied before glaring at the other fairy.
"It's not me," Thistletwit shrugged before looking at Aurelia. "Dear, are you using magic?"
"No, ma'am." Aurelia replied.
"You two are having a go at me, and I will not tolerate-" Knotgrass glared at the other two fairies before water suddenly dripped on her head again. "Stop it!"
"Hey, guys, is the roof leaking or something?" Aurelia asked as she walked in.
"Believe me, it's not the roof." Knotgrass said with a glare at Thistletwit in accusatory.
"But then how can it be-" Aurelia asked before water dripped on Knotgrass's head again.
Flittle and Thistletwit looked at Knotgrass for a moment, then the red fairy sat back down and suddenly, it poured water down all over her and soon, the whole cottage began to flood with water from nowhere.
"Why..." Flittle whispered.
"No! Oh!" Knotgrass glared at her. "This is all your fault!"
"Is it raining outside?" Aurelia wondered as she went to look out the window to see what was going on.
Maleficent smirked as she was shown to be playing a prank on the pixies for her own amusement. Felicity and Esabella both began to start laughing as the prank was funny. Diaval and Chip both looked unamused as that was also kinda mean.
"Oh, come on," Maleficent told them. "That's funny."
Diaval and Chip just shook their heads in disapproval.
"As the days went on, Stefan darkened, further consumed by paranoia and vengeance." The narrator informed.
Stefan soon ordered his men to storm the Moors and they began to launch fireballs at the thorned trees.
"Burn it all down!" The General commanded.
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers replied.
"Flame! Release!" The General then ordered.
The fireballs were soon launched into the thorned trees which began to burn as the soldiers cheered.
Meanwhile, this did not go unnoticed by Maleficent.
"Time for a little dark magic." Esabella smirked at herself.
Maleficent began to make the thorned trees that were burned move so then they could strike back at the soldiers.
'This shall be fun.' Esabella thought to herself.
The dark magic soon made the thorned trees grow bigger and stronger. The soldiers soon noticed this and began to retreat.
"Fraidy cats." Esabella smirked.
"You have such potential for darkness, child," Maleficent said to Felicity. "You remind me of what I could've been when I was your age."
"No, Felicity is sweet and kind and gentle," Chip said emotionally. "She's my best friend... She's my true love... She wouldn't do this."
"Not normally no, but it's almost as though she's been placed under some sort of enchantment." Esabella smirked innocently.
"How oddly specific." Chip glared slightly.
Felicity and Maleficent both laughed as the soldiers ran for their lives away from the wall of thorns. Esabella just kept watching with a smirk.
