Goodbye Auradon

[Mal and Evie's dorm room. 11:47 am]

Mal's POV

"What do you mean you want to apologize to me? You had no hesitation pushing me away." I said, crossing my arms.

"I know. And I'm very sorry." Jay said.

"Jay, do you really mean that?" Lonnie asked.

"I do. And I'm really sorry, Mal. Can you ever forgive me?"

"I need to hear more. It's going to take a lot more than that for me to forgive you. Based on everything you've done and said to me, I don't know if you even deserve to be forgiven." I said.

Jay looked down. He knows what he did was wrong. Not standing by me. Telling me I'm not his sister anymore. It really hurt me. It really did.

"We're supposed to be family. And you don't leave anyone behind. I was spelled. You knew that. And yet, you still continued to push me away. Not wanting anything to do with me. So why the sudden change of heart?" I asked.

Jay looked back up at me. I could see the regret in his eyes, but still, it meant nothing to me. I arched a brow at him with my arms still crossed, waiting to hear a response. After hearing nothing. I scoffed and walked to the door.

"You need to leave. Now." I said.

I turned the door handle and opened the door. Jay walked over to the door as I signaled him to walk out. But he then stopped at the door way.

"What?" I asked.

Jay turned around to try and reach for my hands, but I backed away to Evie. Jay walked back into the room and closed the door.

"I can't leave, Mal. Not without telling you how sorry I am." he said.

"You already said you were sorry. Now go." I said.

"I can't leave without us being okay."

I scoffed again and faked a smile, almost started laughing in disbelief.

"Okay? Us being okay?! Are you kidding me right now?!" I almost yelled.

"Mal, calm down." Evie said, while rubbing my shoulders.

"I will. Once he leaves. You and I still have much to do. And I can't let him be a distraction." I said.

"What do you mean "you have much to do"? Mal, what's going on?" Jay asked.

"I don't recall it being any of your business, Jay. Now, do I need to repeat myself again?" I asked.

"No, Mal. I'll leave." Jay replied.

I glared at him as he looked at me sadly before leaving the room.

"The hell is up with him?" I asked.

"Nevermind that, Mal. As you said, we still have much to do." Evie said.

"Right." I said.

I tried to put what just happened behind me and tried to focus on packing. But the others saw how hard it was for me to concentrate. I was feeling a lot of anger, and when a tiny little thing goes wrong like something falls out of my hand, or something doesn't fit right in a suitcase, I exclaim in anger. I later felt bad, because at the time, Lonnie and Carlos felt a little uncomfortable.

"We're going to go. Call us if you need anything." Carlos said.

"Okay. Thank you both." Evie said.

Carlos left first. But Lonnie walked over to Evie.

"Evie, can I talk to you outside for a moment?" Lonnie whispered to Evie, but I was able to hear it.

"Of course." Evie whispered back.

Evie walked over to me and kissed me on my cheek.

"I'll be right back, baby." she said.

I didn't respond. I was facing away from the door and I heard them leave, but thought nothing else about it. Nearly everything of mine was packed. I opened the drawer in the nightstand by my bed and saw my sketchbook. I grabbed it and flipped through the pages until I reached the first drawing of my dream house. Besides Evie, this is the only other thing keeping me going. My dream.

My ultimate goal is to live in a nice house with Evie. I'm sure there will be other things I'll want to do with Evie. Other life things. But for now, this is all that matters. After looking at all the sketches of the house, Evie came back into the room and sat on the bed next to me. I closed my book and looked at her.

"You okay?" Evie asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. What was that about?" I asked.

"Lonnie just wanted to talk to me about something." Evie replied.

"About?"

"Oh, nothing important. But there is something important even I hadn't thought of until now."

"What's that?" I asked.

"Identification." Evie replied.

"What?"

"We'll need something to prove we're citizens of Canada." Evie said.

"But we're not."

"Not yet."

Evie walked over to where our school bags were and took something out from both of them. She then returned back to me and placed our school ids in front of me.

"Evie, this isn't going to prove anything." I said.

"No, but with your magic, I know it can."

"How?"

"First off, we don't need anyone to know we're from Auradon. We need a clean fresh start."

"So you're thinking of us using fake names?" I asked.

"Not entirely. We can keep our first names, just not our last names." Evie replied.

"Okay, I get what you're saying, but what should we use?" I asked.

Evie thought for a moment, but it didn't take long for her to think of fake last names for us. Names that are fake, but yet they're not.

"Mal Cameron and Evie Carson."

I laughed a little.

"Okay..? Where did you come up with that?" I asked.

Evie smiled and shrugged.

"Just off the top of my head. Why? Thinking of something better?" Evie asked.

I nodded.

"Nope. That works for me." I said.

"Then that's what it'll be. Now, I saved a picture of what a sample of Canada's ids looks like from a motor vehicle website." Evie said.

Evie grabbed her phone and showed me the picture.

"Can you turn our school ids into a real, legitimate, Canadian driver's license?" Evie asked.

I sighed. Wow. Now that is what some may call a tall order.

"I don't know if I can, E. That's never been done before. Has it?" I asked, scratching my head.

"I don't think so. But, M. If anyone can, it's you. I know it's a lot, but it's the biggest thing that'll make us fit right in. Things will be easier for us if we have a real id." Evie said.

"But it's not."

"It'll be to them. Please, M? This is for us, remember?"

I sighed once again.

"Okay, E. Give me a moment." I said.

Evie kissed me on the cheek and put her arms around me while resting her head on my shoulder. I closed my eyes and thought of a rhyme to use for the spell. I was nervous, since this is the first time using magic after I was spelled, but as Evie said, it was for us. And that is what I kept in mind.

"Though this may seem drastic, make ourselves and our falseness real and permanent on these pieces of plastic." I said.

After I used my hands to send a green wave of sparkly light at the ids, they instantly became real, legitimate, British Columbia id cards with both of our names, real and fake, picture, and other info about us on the cards.

"Oh my gosh! Mal, you did it! You did it! I'm so proud of you!" Evie squealed.

She gave me many kisses on the face, including some on the lips.

"I love you, baby. I love you so much." Evie said.

"I love you too, sweetness." I said.

After a nice french kiss, Evie grabbed her money she made as well as the money that I somehow stole and placed it all in front of me.

"Now, can you turn our Auradon money into Canadian cash?" she asked.

"I think so." I replied.

I closed my eyes and reopened them, ready to say my next spell.

"Turn this stash into legitimate cash." I said.

And on command, my magic turned our Auradon currency into Canada currency. Evie squealed in delight again and hugged me so tight, I didn't know she was so strong.

"Oh, baby. You are my little angel. You know that?" Evie asked.

"I do now." I replied.

After another kiss, Evie started to count the money. It took a couple of minutes, but we were most surprised by how much we had.

"Nine thousand, nine hundred and eighty eight dollars." Evie said.

I almost fell off the bed after hearing that.

"Almost ten thousand dollars?! How?!" I asked.

"I have no idea, I guess Auradon money is worth a lot more in Canada. That can be my only explanation." Evie said.

"Wow. Then we should take some more money before we leave." I said.

"Mal…"

"I'm kidding! But seriously, wow." I said.

Evie placed the cash in her red box and gave it to me.

"I'm trusting this to you. I know you'll keep it safe." she said.

"Yes, Evie. I will." I said.

It was just us two for the remainder of the day, after I was pretty much all packed, I helped Evie pack her stuff. She had a whole lot more stuff than me. Most of it was sewing materials due to her having her business. While Evie's kind of sad to put it on hold, her happiness about leaving for Canada outweighs it and she knows stopping her business isn't a forever thing.

Around six at night, we decided to stop for the day and got hungry for dinner. After realizing that I had turned all our money into foriegn currency, Evie had me reverse the spell on a little bit of it. Just enough to get us through until we leave. We had a nice simple dinner and returned back to our dorm. All the times of us leaving for meal times, we were very careful getting to and from our room. And we believe no one from the school seen us.

[Mal and Evie's dorm room. 10:21 am]

Mal's POV

It is now Sunday. Our final day in Auradon. Our final day in our dorm room. And Evie and I are just about ready to leave. After eating breakfast, we returned back to the dorm and cuddled for awhile in Evie's bed. Soon after, we heard a knock at the door. Evie got the door and saw it was Carlos and Lonnie. She let them in but they weren't the only ones at the door. Jay was there too.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, immediately getting off the bed.

"Mal, let him speak." Evie said.

I so wanted to tell him off, but decided not to.

"Fine. I guess it won't hurt to just listen." I said.

After everyone was in the room, Evie closed the door and Jay walked up to me.

"Mal, I mean it when I say I'm really sorry." he said.

"Go on." I said.

"Remember when you asked me why the change of heart and I couldn't answer?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, the reason was...it's because...I guess you could say that I was...traumatized by you." Jay said.

I tilted my head in curiosity.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I know you don't remember, but when you almost made Evie fall to her death at the bridge, it really got me. I felt something I had never felt before. I don't know how to describe it. But it really made me upset at you. And when I saw you cut Evie with your sword, it only made the feeling stronger." Jay explained.

I sighed.

"It was traumatizing for all of us, no doubt. But I can see how much it would be in your point of view. But why didn't you ever tell me? You could've talked to me, instead of making me believe that you hated me." I said.

"But I did hate you." Jay said.

"I know, but still…"

"I know. And I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for being a jerk to you. Mal."

"Well, you were a little more than a jerk to me. You were, well...a..."

"Ass!" Carlos blurted.

"Thank you, Carlos." I said, rolling my eyes after.

Jay softly smiled as did Evie and Lonnie.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is…"

I paused for a moment. Should I forgive him? I mean, if that's how he really felt, then why didn't he tell me? One things for sure, what happened with me has definitely left an impact on all of us. And if I choose not to forgive him, who knows how long Evie and I will be gone for? We may never come back. And I guess I shouldn't leave things like this.

"Okay. I'll forgive you."

Jay's face lit up when I said that.

"You will? Oh thank you, Mal!" he exclaimed.

He went to hug me, but I pushed him back.

"Not so fast, man. You make me a couple promises first." I said.

"Anything." Jay said.

"Always talk to me. No matter what. You keep in touch. It doesn't have to be frequently, but more than occasionally. Got it?" I asked.

"Yes, Mal. I promise." Jay said.

"And we're family. We'll always have each other. Got it?" I asked.

"Yes, Mal. We're family and we'll always have each other. I promise." Jay said.

"Okay. Now come here." I said with my arms out.

Jay walked up to me and we both started to hug each other.

"I love you, Mal. You're my sister. And I'm proud to have you as one." Jay said.

"Thank you, Jay. It means a lot to hear you say that." I said.

"I mean it." Jay said.

"So are we all good now? Are we a family again?" Carlos asked.

"We sure are." I replied.

"Excellent. Now, Lonnie, does Jay know?" Evie asked.

"No he doesn't." Lonnie replied.

Jay let go of me and looked at Evie and Lonnie.

"What? What don't I know?" he asked.

Okay. But he'll be the last one we'll have to tell this too. Evie and I told Jay about what happened Friday night with Audrey and how I'll be in a "world of punishment" on Monday morning. And we also told him about Evie and I packing to leave for Canada early Monday morning. So to make a long story short, he's all caught up.

"No. After we just made things right? You have to leave tomorrow morning? Now I really feel bad." Jay said.

"It's not your fault, Jay. It can't be helped. This is what it has to be now." Evie said.

"I guess that's what you mean when you said to keep in touch." Jay said to me.

"That's one meaning." I said.

"Don't be too sad. On the bright side, we're a family again. So therefore, let's spend our last day together in happiness. Carlos, have Jane come over right now. Everyone, we're going to make the best of our last day together." Evie said.

We all happily agreed. Jane was free, so she came right over. And the six of us spent the next hour helping Evie pack the rest of her things. Then her and I were all packed and ready for the morning. The only thing we're leaving behind of ours is the blue and purple bed sheets on the bed. For the rest of the afternoon and towards the evening hours, we talked and played games together. Lonnie played music off her phone and we danced and sang quite a bit. Time went by fast, but we savored every moment.

It was beginning to get dark out. And Jane suggested she should return back to her dorm. But Evie had a great idea.

"How about you guys go back to your dorms and return back with pillows and blankets. We'll have a sleepover!"

"Really, Evie?" Jane asked.

"Yeah! It's our last night together. So let's make it the best we can." Evie said.

The others happily agreed. And quickly ran back to their dorms and soon returned with blankets and pillows. By the time they got back, Evie and I arranged the furniture around to give us a nice big empty space in the middle of the room for all of us to sleep in. Evie and I changed into our nightdresses and when the others returned, they were also in their sleep wear.

We laid some blankets on the floor and laid close to each other. Jay and Carlos sat by me, while Lonnie and Jane sat by Evie. After watching a movie together, Lonnie and Jane left and later return with some food from the city. Our last meal in Auradon was chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. And it was very delicious. The two girls also got us some food for our trip to Canada.

After dinner, while watching another movie, I noticed Evie and Carlos sitting on her bed with her laptop. I got up and walked over to them to check what was going on.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Carlos is helping me set up the webcam in my laptop so you and I can chat with them while we're gone." Evie replied.

"Oh really?" I asked.

"Yep. Even across the world, we'll still be able to keep in touch." Carlos said.

"Oh that's nice." I said.

After getting things set up, Evie packed her laptop away and the three of us watched the rest of the movie. After watching two movies, we were getting tired. As we were setting up our sleeping area, Carlos pulled Evie into a tight hug.

"I'll miss you, Evie. I don't know what I'll do without you or Mal." he said.

Evie kissed him on the head and brushed his hair.

"Sweetie, we'll always be together because we're all in each other's hearts. Besides, you're a big boy, I know you'll be alright. You all will be alright." Evie said.

I joined in on the hug and Jay, Lonnie and Jane joined us and formed a nice family hug. We fell asleep together, laying closely to one another, and sleeping peacefully. I don't think our last night together could've been any better than that. Or at least we made it the best we could in the time we had.

[Belle's Harbor. 5:42 am]

Mal's POV

Well, here we are. It's time to leave. Time to leave Auradon. Evie and I woke up and got dressed before waking up the others. As the sun was starting to come up, Carlos, Jay, Lonnie and Jane helped Evie and I with our suitcases to the harbor. Evie led the way to the yacht. And once we got there, we were all amazed by it.

"Wow, Evie. How did you manage to get this?" I asked.

Evie smiled and shrugged.

"I had a little help." she said with a wink.

Evie didn't tell me about the porpoise until later on, but at the time I wasn't going to question her any further. Evie boarded the boat first and unlocked a door leading to the cabin. Then she told us to go ahead and bring the suitcases on board. We all carried one onto the boat and into the cabin. And once again, we are amazed.

"Oh I wish I can go with you guys." Jane said.

"Me too. This looks really nice." Carlos said.

"And I wish I can take you all with us. But you four belong here. Auradon is your home." Evie said.

"Well, no matter what, you'll always have a home with us." Lonnie said.

Evie smiled and hugged Lonnie.

"Thank you." Evie whispered.

Evie and I took one final good look at Carlos, Jay, Lonnie and Jane. We gave each of them a long hug and a little kiss.

"Don't forget to webchat with us sometime." Carlos said.

"We won't." Evie said.

"And I won't forget to talk to you not frequently, but more than occasionally, Mal." Jay said.

"Well, it doesn't have to be all the time, but once or twice a week is fine." I said.

"I'll miss you both. You both are the best sisters we've ever had." Carlos said.

"The only sisters we've ever had?" Jay asked.

"Right." Carlos replied.

"Thank you. And you both are the best brothers we've ever had." Evie said.

"The only brothers we've ever had?" I asked.

"Oh my gosh." Evie laughed.

We all had a nice little laugh to that. Then Jane looked out the window and then at a watch on her arm.

"Guys, we should get going. We need to get back to the dorm to get our stuff and back to our dorms without anyone noticing us." Jane said.

"You're right. We should go." Lonnie said.

"I wish you both the best." Jay said.

"Me too." said Jane.

"And me as well. Good luck out there." Lonnie said.

"I'm sure you'll find your dream home." Carlos said.

"With the info you gave me and all the help you've done, I know we will. Thank you again for helping me in the last few months." I said.

"You're welcome, Mal. It was my pleasure. But I'll certainly miss you." Carlos said.

"I'm sure we'll see each other again. It may be a long time, but definitely not forever." I said.

"Before you guys leave, I want to take a picture of all of us." Evie said.

"Good idea!" said Jane.

We all cuddled together for a group selfie. Evie's that one person who can get the right angle for a picture. We took a couple selfies. But then Evie suggested we take a picture of all of us together that's not a selfie. When Jane asked how, Evie showed us by placing her phone upright on the kitchenette counter up against the wall facing us. The phone was on selfie mode and Evie set a timer for it to go off. I smiled as I know Evie can be quite creative. We gathered together with Jay and Carlos to the right of us, and Lonnie and Jane to the left of us. We smiled and the phone snapped the photo. Evie looked it over and was pleased.

"That turned out really nice. I'll send them to you all." Evie said.

"Great." Carlos said.

"We should get going now." Jane said.

"Alright. One more hug." I said.

We all hugged one last time and led them out of the boat. We waved goodbye to them as they waved goodbye to us. It was hard as we were all starting to cry a little. But we knew that one day, we'll see each other again. After they were at the pier, Evie and I walked to the boat's controls and looked at them.

"Well, shall we go? One last spell?" Evie asked.

"We shall." I replied.

I closed my eyes for a moment and reopened them.

"Noble steed proud and fair, you shall take us anywhere. But not just anywhere. With Evie alongside, Vancouver, Canada is where we shall reside."

Just then, we heard a noise and felt the boat quickly judder. Then Evie and I smiled at each other as the boat started moving. And it felt amazing. We walked out and onto the deck and waved at Carlos, Jay, Lonnie and Jane as this was the last time we'll see them for awhile. But the last time we'll see them in person for a long time. We continued to wave at each other until we were too far out of view.

"Goodbye my family. I'll miss you." I said quietly.

Evie walked closer to me and put her arms around me.

"We're on our way, Mal." she said.

"We sure are." I said.

Canada, here we come.
