I chuckled behind my book as Lumiere measured Ben for his coronation suit. Lumiere kept having to turn Ben's head so he could get the proper measurements.

Ben gave me a small glare, "I don't know why you're laughing. You're next."

My smile dropped. Ben snickered at me before looking back outside making Lumiere sigh in frustration. I knew he was looking at the Isle. It was all he could think and talk about nowadays. Sometimes I found myself staring at the island. It was heartbreaking thinking about all those children being punished for their parents choices. Hopefully, mom and dad will agree to Ben's proclamation.

"Okay," Lumiere said bringing me out of my thoughts, "Prince Ben, you are done," he turned to me, "Princess Anna, will you please take your brother's place."

I handed Ben my book as we swapped places. I groaned silently as Lumiere began moving my arms up and down to measure them.

Ben laughed as he looked through my book, "you're reading this again? You've already read it like a hundred times."

"Well it's my favorite," I pouted, "and I've only read it sixty-four times."

"Still," he place my book on the table beside him, "all it is is a collection of love stories."

"Love stories?"

Ben and I looked at the door to see mom and dad.

"Aren't you a little young to be reading about love," dad asked.

"I'm sixteen, dad," I said as Lumiere practical choked me with his measuring tape, "Ben's sixteen too, and he's going to be king next month."

"Sixteen? That's far too young to be thinking about love," dad looked at Ben, "let alone be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least forty-two."

Mom scoffed, "uh, you decided to marry me at twenty-eight."

"Ah well, it was either you or a teapot," dad joked giving me and Ben a wink. Ben and I snorted as mom glared at him. Dad smiled at her, "kidding."

"Mom, dad...," Ben said getting their attention, "I've chosen my first official proclamation," he took a deep breath, "I've decided that the children of the Isle of the Lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon," mom and dad's jaws dropped as Ben continued, "everytime I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned."

Dad pointed towards the Isle, "the children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?"

Ben looked dad in the eye, "we start out with a few at first, only ones who need our help the most," mom nodded her head slightly making Ben smile, "I've already chosen them."

Dad took a step towards Ben, "Have you?"

Ben's smile dropped.

Mom placed her hand on dad's arm, "I gave you a second chance," she turned to Ben, "who are their parents?"

I gulped, 'here we go.'

Ben straightened slightly, "Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen," he paused and looked at me. I gave him an encouraging nod. He looked back at our parents, "and Maleficent."

"Maleficent," dad roared.

Lumiere jumped at the sound of his voice and quickly left the room.

Dad glared at Ben, "she is the worst villain in the land!"

I walked forward to stand beside Ben, "dad, just hear him out."

"I won't hear of it," dad turned his glare to me, "how can you agree with this? They are guilty of unspeakable crimes."

"Dad, their children are innocent," I argued.

Ben nodded, "yeah, don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?"

Dad looked at mom then back at us. He sighed, "I suppose their children are innocent."

Ben and I smiled at each other.

Mom placed a hand on our shoulders, "Well done." She kissed my forehead, "please continue to support your brother."

I nodded, "of course."

She gave us a smile before leaving with dad.

Ben and I gazed out towards the Isle.

"Why do I feel like that was the easy part," Ben chuckled keeping his eyes on the island.

"Oh come on, this is going to be a piece of cake," I looked at Ben, "right?"

He looked at me, "yeah. Piece of cake."

"Oh, speak of which, I have a great idea."

Ben raised an eyebrow, "okay?"

I smiled, "what do you say to filling the limo that picks them up with every kind of candy?"
