I wanted to write something about Freddie and Celia, it's a bit sad they don't even talk in this outcome but it's still a fanfic about both of them. It's mostly going to be missing scenes from wicked world.
English isn't my native language, so forgive me for any minor mistakes.

Freddie was hanging at her father's shop with her best friend CJ Hook. She was in the store while Celia was in the arcade today. The store is like souvenirs shop of the arcade so they needed to run both of them. Somehow Facillier has three jobs on the isle and he trusted his daughters to help him. He is lucky they are nice enough to do so. It was Freddie's shift to be in the shop and since everyone would always go to the arcade and won't waste their money on random staff no one actually came here. So, Freddie asked CJ to be her company.
They were sitting together; they were bored so Freddie decided to practice her singing in front of CJ.
"Why you standing over there, acting like you just don't care
We can make our own kind of music
We might come from different worlds, might not be your kind of girl
But I just wanna let go and lose it"
Freddie stopped her singing. "That's it?" CJ asked.
"That's all I got for now, I need to continue writing the song, but what do you think until now?" Freddie wondered.
"You didn't sound like a frog, so I guess it was fine" CJ teased.
"Gee, thanks, what a compliment," Freddie rolled her eyes.
A loud sound was heard from outside. "What was that?" CJ wondered.
"It's the isle of the lost, probably someone tries to steal something," Freddie sighed.
"Now I curious I'll take a glimpse." CJ got up and snuck out to watch what happened through the door. "Oh my, what the ship brought to us? Apparently, the traitors landed back on the isle, and they brought company."
"You mean Mal?" Freddie tried to understand.
"Yes, exactly," CJ affirmed.
"Now, that's interesting, you think they could take us back to Auradon with them?" Freddie wondered.
"I'm not going to say no for an adventure," CJ beamed.
"Hide, you should let me do the talking." Freddie decided and went to stood in a place they won't see her when they'll come inside the shop.
Their plan worked, Freddie and CJ got transported to Auradon because of Jordan's Genie magic and Ben offered Freddie a place in Auradon. "So, are you going to show me my room?" Freddie inquired after Jordan kicked them out of her lamp and they appeared in the fanciest room Freddie ever saw in her life.
"Hold on, first we need to enroll you, we need to go to Fairy Godmother to register you." Ben explained.
"Sure, lead the way, your mighty king." Freddie smiled teasingly.
"Ben, you seriously bringing another one?" Audrey scolded him.
"Well, she is already here, it would be a shame if we send her back." Ben told her.
"Yeah, Freddie deserves a chance just as we did." Evie said.
"I appreciate the support," Freddie smiled.
"Ben, they would conquer Auradon!" Audrey muttered.
"No, don't worry Audrey we gave up on that idea." Mal said jokingly and the four of them laughed.
"Ben!" Audrey called but stormed away when she realized they were all laughing and not listening to her.
Freddie walked last after Ben, Mal and Evie so she glanced back to see if CJ still behind her. CJ waved to her and Freddie signed her to stay outside while she'll talk with the Fairy Godmother.
Ben knocked on the office door, it was evening but she was still in her office in those hours most of the time. "Yes, come in." a voice was heard from the inside.
Ben opened the door, "You have time for us? I need to talk to you about something."
"Of course, dearie come inside all of you," she said after she saw Mal next to him.
"Fairy Godmother, I want to introduced you Frederique Facilier," Ben pointed at Freddie.
"It's Freddie," She corrected.
"Daughter of Dr. Facilier?" The Fairy Godmother asked slowly, not sure what's going on.
"Yes, it's nice to meet you, Headmistress." Freddie smiled at her.
"Mal accidently asked from Jordan's lamp to transport us to the isle and when we asked to return Freddie arrived with us back to Auradon, and I don't see a reason to send her back, because I decided that every VK deserves a chance in Auradon, so we come to register her to Auradon prep," Ben explained in his authoritative voice.
"Alright then, welcome to Auradon Freddie!" The Fairy Godmother said in a formal voice.
"Thanks, I'm glad to be here, it's seeming Mal and Evie have a good time in Auradon," Freddie said and put her hands on Mal and Evie's shoulders.
"Yes, Freddie should be here," Evie said, to convince as well.
"We have a spare dorm room, so we assigned it to you, I'll call your father in the morning to ask for his permission and then you could start learning in our school." The Fairy Godmother said.
"Since when there are phones in the Isle of the Lost?" Mal wondered.
"We created a link to Dr. Facilier's office in Dragon Hall so I could speak with him before the four kids arrived," the fairy explained.
"So, you can talk to my father when ever you want?" Freddie questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I needed information about Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos before they arrival, so I spoke with the headmaster of Dragon Hall. In your case I also need his permission for you to stay in Auradon." the headmistress said.
"Our mothers really gave you permission for us being here?" Evie asked a bit surprised.
"Yes, you are minors and we are in Auradon, without parents' approval it's basically a kidnapping and I'm not going to kidnap you." The fairy said and it sounded almost like scolding.
"Good to know, tell my father not to worry about me," Freddie told the headmistress.
"Sure, I'll tell him, don't worry, he'll probably be supportive, from all the villains I talked to them he was pretty pleasant." The fairy mentioned.
"What a surprise, near our mothers Facilier does seems like an angel," Mal joked.
"Nah, he is more live the devil," Freddie chuckled.
"Well, thanks Fairy Godmother, I think we should go and escort Freddie to her room, it's was a day with many events, so she should rest and start get using to Auradon," Evie said and pushed Freddie and Mal outside the room. Freddie is one of the few who didn't have a squabble with Mal, even Evie had one and Uma and Mad Maddy. Mal wanted Freddie on her good side because she is the headmaster's daughter and Freddie didn't do something that pissed off Mal, so somehow, they actually get along. Staying on Mal's good side is a great achievement but that means Mal and Freddie has a dynamic that Fairy Godmother probably shouldn't see on Freddie's first day in Auradon.
"I surprised it worked so well," Freddie said after they were far enough from the office.
"Yeah, it's Auradon, everyone wants to believe you have a good side, so they'll give you a chance. It's fun here you'll see," Mal smirked.
"It's sounds like that," Freddie nodded in satisfaction.
Harriet Hook and Anthony Termaine went to the Facilier's Arcade. They needed to make sure their younger relatives returning home. Harriet did the special knocking code and they got inside. In the arcade many kids were there to play the games. Celia and Dizzy sat and watched TV not bothered to help the kids.
"Yo, Dizzy, granny sent me to get you to the salon, Queen of Hearts thought grandma stole one of her costumers so she came furious to our salon and the place is wreck and someone needs to clean it," Anthony explained to his younger cousin.
"And of course, it's my job," Dizzy muttered, "I'll go there right away, bye Celia, I'll see you tomorrow." Dizzy dragged her feet from the arcade and left.
"It's not fun you kicked her," Celia groaned.
"Don't worry, I need CJ, I'm going to do the same to your sister." Harriet assured.
Celia shrugged satisfied, "they are in the store."
Harriet went to the store in the back of the arcade, "CJ, you need to return home, you slacking off again in your cleaning duties, it's your turn today." Harriet called before she arrived to the store. When she got inside the shop, she finds it empty. "CJ, it's not funny, don't hide from me! Pirates also have duties and they need to help in maintaining the ship!" Harriet yelled, irritating. "Freddie, CJ, are you here, where are you two?" She asked and started looking for the two girls. It was like they were never here. Harriet started to get worried, because it wasn't ordinary.
Harriet returned to the arcade and stood in front of Celia hiding the TV. "Hey, Harriet, seriously, you're interfering with my work!" Celia complained.
"You don't do anything besides watching TV, is not actually working," Harriet scolded Celia.
"What do you want?" Celia sighed.
"Where is my sister?" Harriet questioned.
"I told you where she is." Celia retorted.
"My sister is not there and nor is your sister." Harriet told her.
"What?" Celia jumped, "they are supposed to be there, Freddie is supposed to be the responsible one between the two of us, she can't just run off with her friend to someplace." Celia muttered to herself going to the store to looking for clues on where the two were gone. "Freddie, are you here?" She asked out loud, waiting for an answer.
"See, I told you they are not here," Harriet sighed, "I have a pirate crew to lead and a ship to be at, when you see my sister tell her that's dad is waiting for her and if it was me, I would make her walk on the plank as a punishment." Harriet left giggling. Celia knew Harriet wasn't serious because Harriet was famous in protecting her siblings even though they didn't join her crew.
"Freddie, CJ, if you are pranking us you should stop." Celia declared to the store but she they didn't appear from their hideout. She sighed; they'll probably show up again at some point. It's not like they could left the isle of the lost and disappear to the unknown. Freddie probably went with CJ to somewhere.
Celia wasn't worried, it's not like anything could happened to her sister except maybe drowning on the water, but that won't happen. Freddie knew how to take care of herself, she and CJ probably got bored and decided to go to the streets to do some fun. It didn't mean it was the right call. Yes, they are villains they supposed to be evil and break the laws, but you have duties and honor to your family, it wasn't a big deal, the store was supposed to be open only whenever they want it to be. But still Freddie should have at least told she is going away.
Celia sat on the table in the kitchen, where she could see the door. She moved her tarots cards from hand to hand while waiting. Alright, maybe she was a bit worried, because she and Freddie has a good relationship and she would have told her if she went to a break or finished the day early. It wasn't something ordinary. Something was suspicious. Celia was on edge. Freddie disappeared on thin her and she couldn't do anything about that.
After a while of sitting and playing with her cards her father returned from work. "Hi, little rascal, how was in the arcade?" Her father asked her.
"You know, as always, kids come to play, I'm watching TV, Dizzy leaves in the middle because her grandmother needed her, my sister disappeared without leaving a trace..." Celia informed him, like nothing unusual did happen.
"What was the last part? Where is your sister?" Facilier raised an eyebrow.
"I hope she went to talk to you." Celia told him.
"No, I haven't seen her since the school day ended. Care to share what's going on with me?" Her father asked.
"I was in my shift at the arcade and she was at the store and Harriet came to look for CJ and she told me Freddie and CJ weren't in the store and they just disappeared without a trace." Celia explained, trying to keep her tone even and stable.
"She didn't tell you she is going with CJ to somewhere?" Her dad wondered.
"Nope, nothing at all, if Harriet wouldn't have told me I wouldn't even know they were gone." Celia mentioned.
"Well, we are all stuck in the isle it's not like they could go somewhere dangerous, I'm sure they are just got bored and decided to do something more interesting, it's not like we have regular opening hours in the store, so she can decide to go whenever she wants to. Don't worry, she'll probably show up tomorrow for school as always." Facilier promised and patted his daughter's head.
"I'm not worrying, I'm just mad she is slacking off," Celia pouts.
"Don't be, she can do things like that sometimes, come on, think on something else, you want to read my fortune?" He offered.
"That depends, are you going to pay?' Celia smirked and jumped off from the table, clapping her hands on the cards.
"You know I am; you weren't my girl if you wouldn't request it," the shadow man smiled and gave her coin.
"Alright, then let's see what is your future holds..." Celia put three cards on the table and started the reading.
Dr. Facilier was worried. When Celia told him Freddie was missing, he tried to be calm for his daughter, Freddie is responsible girl who can handle herself so even if it was a bit unusual, he knew she can manage and probably be in school as always. Since his daughters were young, he told them they need to set example as the headmaster daughters to the other kids and showed up to school. Yes, it's supposed to be villains' school but the kids still need to learn how to be villains so his girls need to be the examples for that.
That's why he was sure Freddie would be here, of course she doesn't need to tell him to every place she is going, he is not an Auradon parent after all. But even if she went to sleep at CJ's place she is supposed to come to school. Doing a prank or mischievous thing has its limits even as villains. If Freddie wouldn't come to school until the end of the day, he will need to start looking for her. That would require from him to go to visit in all the pirate ships in the isle, and it's not fun at well, he prefers the urban area then the sea. But Freddie could be at Harriet's ship with CJ or visit Uma in her own ship or even at Hook's house (which is also a ship). If she won't be at anyone of these places he will need to go and check with Ursula and Hades, and he didn't want to visit the King of the Dead if he has other choices. Celia is Hades' errands runner not Freddie, so Freddie doesn't have a reason to be in his lair.
When the Shadow Man came to his office in Dragon Hall trying to occupied himself in other things so he won't think about his daughter absent he saw he missed a call in his TV. The device came in a shipment from Auradon before Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos left, because Fairy Godmother wanted to talk to him and hear about them before they become her students. She is the only one who can call him from this device, but why she is looking for him? They are planning to bring another villain kids to Auradon? He should check this out, it could be a good distraction, he could even try and convince her to choose his daughters, he wanted a brighter future to them, and they deserve a chance in Auradon.
He pressed the call button and waited for Fairy Godmother to answer. "Hello, Dr. Facilier, I'm glad to hear from you." The fairy appeared on the screen with her warm smile.
"Hello, Fairy Godmother? How are you?" He asked politely, they might be villains but they can do small talks.
"I'm good, thanks, what's going on with you?" She retorted the question.
"Everything is normal as always." He lied, because there is no chance he will say to this goody two shoes that his daughter disappeared, "You need more information about Mal, Evie, Jay or Carlos? That's why you called?"
"They are all well and good, they got used to Auradon right now and all very glad to be here," the headmistress said.
"I'm glad to hear that," the headmaster smiled a forced smile.
"Yes, they are good students." she said, and there was an awkward silent for a moment.
"So, it's a small talk or you need anything else? You want to take other students to Auradon?' Dr. Facilier asked.
"Yes, we actually do, that is exactly why I'm calling, I need your approval to enroll your daughter to Auradon." Fairy Godmother declared officially, finally saying what she was needed to say.
"My daughter, Freddie? I'm glad you considered her to Auradon but may I ask how she caught your eye?" He raised an eyebrow, trying to keep himself apathetic even though he was a thrilled a bit.
"There was a bit of accident. Mal came to visit in the isle yesterday, and when she returned to Auradon she accidently transported your daughter as well with her, and we decided that she deserves a chance to be in Auradon," the fairy explained.
"I'm actually very glad to hear about this new development, of course you have my approval for her to be in Auradon, she deserves this chance and I'm very glad you decided to give her one, I won't stop my daughter for getting the best chance she could get for a better life." Dr. Facilier told her, he is a supportive father and he needs the Fairy Godmother to realize it.
"I'm very glad to hear that, now can you tell me what she likes, what kind of student she is, you know everything you told me about the other four." She asked politely.
"Of course, I'm not saying that because she is my daughter but she is one of the best students in the isle..." he said proudly.
Dr. Facilier and Fairy Godmother talked for almost half an hour before they finished their conversation. He tried to keep himself as professional as he could but it was hard for him not to be a proud father. His daughter in Auradon, he knew he doesn't have a reason to worry, she was safe in Auradon, that's explains everything. The Fairy promised to take care for her and make sure she is adapting to the new place. He wished he could talk to her, but he knew he could ask Fairy Godmother for it later, he actually have a direct phone call to Auradon in contrast to the other parents.
Now he needs to tell his other daughter the news, and he wasn't sure how she would take it. "Celia, can you please come to my office?" He said in the PA system.
After couple of minutes his daughter opened the door to his office, "Sup, daddy, what do you need?"
"Have a seat," he pointed at the chair in front of him.
"Okay, don't stress me." She said and sat on the chair.
"I need to tell you something." Dr. Facilier told her.
"Yeah, I can realize that, but don't be so gloomy and suspicious about that. It's about Freddie? Wait, something happened to her? Please tell me she is not dead or something, because if she is dead, I'll go yell at Hades." Celia declared, trying to lighten up the mood but she was worried.
"No, no, she is alright, and don't yell at Hades. Ever. This is a bad idea, and it's not like he could have done something about that anyway." Dr. Facilier mentioned.
"It was a joke, I'm smart enough to know it's a bad idea, and he doesn't even have magic in here. Anyway, what happened to Freddie?" Celia asked, intrigued.
"She is okay, she is in Auradon." Her father informed her the news.
"In Auradon? How she got to there? Why her, it's not fair!" Celia called.
"Mal came to visit and took her back with her to Auradon." He stated.
"But she owes me some money, when do I get my money back? I read her fortune yesterday! And I did saw change in it, ah, I nailed it!" Celia called gladly. She started her sentence in annoying tone and already forgot about that.
"Don't worry, you'll get your cut eventually." Facilier sighed, he raised his daughters to be very feisty and he couldn't say he wasn't proud.
"Yes, and if you expect me to be both in the arcade and the store, I want a double salary." Celia demanded.
"Of course, it's make since, everything for you my dear." Dr. Facilier agreed.
"For your favorite daughter?" Celia smirked.
"Celia!" her father called slowly in a threatening voice, to make sure she knows he is not going to answer her question. "I think it's time for you to return to your class."
"Alright, of course, I needed to try that, because she is abandoned you for Auradon and I'm still here." Celia told him and left the room, waving him for goodbye.
Facilier smiled and sighed, "that's my girl. Don't worry Celia, I'm sure you'll get to Auradon eventually as well."
Author note: The thing with the money Freddie owes Celia was mentioned in the book 'Escape from the Isle of the Lost' I just decided to add it.
I do believe Dr. Facilier is one of the better parents in the isle and I tried my best to find a balance between him being a villain and a good father. He really wants the best for his daughters and it's really sweet from him.
I talked a lot about Hades because I think the Facilier family are the only one who knows about him, Celia is his errands runner, I have a Tumblr post on why she is doing this job, but basically, I think they are the only ones Hades can tolerate in the isle, Facilier does have friends in the other side after all.
