"Harry, don't you understand? You have to marry a princess, someone from your world. Not me, I'm a witch."
"I know, I know all that, but I just don't care, I love you Agatha."
(...)
"Why not a princess? Tiana's daughter is very pretty."
"Because I love you, Mal."

Enchanted Forest
There were flowers on the floor, ten chairs, a red carpet, a small table that had a cake on it and everything was surrounded by trees. After the Enchanted Forest was extinguished it was hard to tell if this was the fairy house or the dark side, there was glitter, pixie dust and magic everywhere.

Auradon
"WHERE'S BEN! LOCKED UP EVERYWHERE! NO STUDENTS LEAVE THE SCHOOL!"
Fairy Godmother yelled at whoever was around. It had been twenty years since Helena had been this angry. Now it was 6:00 p.m. and Auradon would face the worst storm ever witnessed. It was strong winds, lightning and thunder, remember the always beautiful sky? Now it was nowhere near it.
"Fairy Godmother, Nina is not in her room."
One of the school staff came to warn her.
"That's great! Look in the changing rooms, I'll call her parents."
Two trees had fallen on the Auradon Prep grounds, there was no electricity and the King of Auradon was gone, Helena was right to be so nervous.
"Fairy Godmother..."
"If it's more of a problem..."
"Colbi said to let you know that Lady Mal is gone too."
It was enough to make everything inside her erupt. Everything was repeating itself.

Enchanted Forest
Ben was wearing a beautiful blue suit and especially today he was without his crown. He was nervous, Doug was next to him and behind him his parents, because they were going to do the wedding (Evie's idea). Carlos was sitting next to Jane, Jay with Loonie and Evie was with the bride who was freaking out.
"So that's it, I'm getting married."
Mal said to herself. This was real, after all this time of being in a relationship and after a month since the proposal.
"That's it, you're just getting married."
Evie tries to reassure her.
"That's it, just put another ring on my finger."
"Exactly, you look beautiful."
Evie was there to calm her down as she always did.
"That's thanks to you."
"Yeah, I know, now breathe, all you have to do is smile, Ben will be waiting for you and I'll be with Doug there."
"Okay."

Auradon
The entrance to Auradon Prep. That garden full of flowers and with a statue of the former king Adam that transformed from beast to man, was beautiful. What was unimaginable to think was that under the huge statue, ten meters below the ground were gathered the former councilors, in fact, the five that remained.
"They're all gone too!"
Colbi said fearfully.
"Get Marlin now!"
Cirse spoke authoritatively, though she was not in charge of any of them.
"There's no... there's no... there's no way."
Colbi began to stutter to speak the truth
"What do you mean there's no way?"
Helena asked.
"He's dead."
Demetrius said without any feeling in his voice.
"He's dead? When did they think to warn us, Demetrius!"
Cirse was indignant with her friend and advisor.
"Keep your voice down Cirse! He died in the afternoon, he went to the hut, but my soldiers already found him dead a few hours ago."
Demetrius from above and grandnephew Merlin murder.
"Like Tulip."
"What?"
"Tulip went there too and died."
Rashid reminded them of Tulipa's death.
"Does Merlin know?"
Fairy Godmother asked, after all, Merlin had to know about his nephew's murder.
"Thanks to the storm, communication is impossible."
"She's here!"
Cirse who had been silent said what they feared most.
"How do you know?"
"I can feel her magic."
"Can you tell where?"
Demetrius asked being the only one without magic.
"No, but it's far away yet, it hasn't reached Auradon."
Cirse reassured them.
"We have little time. Demetrius, send your guards after Ben and Mal."
Fairy Godmother ordered.
"I can't, I don't know where they are."
The head of the guard stepped back.
"Tracking potion."
Rashid offered the idea.
"Sure, it's quick and easy."
"All right, but we need the ingredients as soon as possible."
Helena reminded them.

Enchanted Forest
Just breathe and walk to him. Maleficent Bertha Faery just had to do that. After sixteen years of being a villain, five years since she chose to be whoever she wanted, she was now minutes away from choosing Ben's love forever. It was easy. Just go out there and choose Ben forever. For a brief moment she remembered Agatha, the woman who just wanted to have her happy ending with her prince.
"Where is she?"
Ben asked Doug. He was as anxious, as he had ever been.
"Calm down Ben, it's Mal, do you think she'll run away?" Ben looked startled at Evie remembering that Mal had run away once before. "Alright, maybe I should check it out." And as the blue-haired girl headed back, she spotted her friend. "I don't need to."
"Why? Did she give up?"
"Ben."
Dunga's son made his friend look ahead and see his fiancée coming.

Auradon
"One of the lightning bolts hit the throne room."
Colbi came to warn.
"It's her, it's coming true what she said."
"I will return and you will all see, the crown will fall and you will witness your balance shattered."
"Helena go faster with the potion."
Demetrius ordered.
What could be heard in Auradon was thunder, the lights of all the places in the center went out and old places like the school were breaking. In the background of this scene, a laugh could be heard, the laugh of someone who was loving seeing all this chaos.
"Enchanted Forest, the tomb of the fairies." Fairy Godmother saw Ben and Mal, through the spell she had made. "No, no, no!" The fairy saw what she had feared, the two were getting married. "They are getting married."
"Hurry it up now!"
Rashid ordered.

Enchanted Forest
"Only love that is strongest survives time."
Adam began by saying. He and Belle were going to do the wedding, as the two of them had experience to pass on to the new couple.
"The differences."
Belle continued her husband's speech.
"The fights."
"The distance."
"The evilness."
"The obstacles."
"And the fear."
"Ben and Mal, you overcame all of this, because you proved that your love is stronger. You two, show that love can happen between two different people, that no matter the place, the past and the mistakes, love can overcome all of that. Ben, do you promise to love Mal in joy or in sadness, when everything is going right or falling apart, loving her qualities and her flaws, helping her to be the best version of herself, loving her every day, being faithful and seeking to be a husband before being a king?"
"I promise."
Ben said smiling for making that promise.
"Mal, do you promise to be faithful, to respect, to help Ben become a better man, to follow him wherever he goes, to protect him and most of all to love him no matter the situation, the time, the circumstances, remembering that he is your soul mate and you are his?"
"I promise."
"Then all that remains is for us to declare each other husband and wife."
Ben slipped it and the ring on her finger and kissed the gleaming metal, Mal did the same thing before pulling his neck in and kissing him.
"Bibidi bibidi bu."
Fairy Godmother made the request with her wand and quickly five people appeared in the Forest.
"Fairy Godmother?"
Loonie was the first to notice the presence of five uninvited people.
"Mom, Uncle Colbi?"
Jane looked at her mother and uncle and didn't understand at all.
"Cirse?"
Adam looked at the woman who had turned him into a beast
"What do you do..."
(...)
"When the next heart finds a home and the day and night together come and I will do what has been prevented, I will fulfill what has been promised."
There was no time to answer Ben's question, because suddenly there was a loud crash, the leaves of the trees flew from side to side in a whirlwind.
"It's too late."
Colbi said watching the whirlwind form
"Too late for what?"
Evie asked listening well to what the unknown man said.
"It's coming true, she's here!"
Cirse shouted so everyone could hear, which wasn't easy given the wind.
"Who has arrived?"
Ben questioned trying to shield his eyes from the branches that were flying.
"Agatha."
Mal said, remembering everything the Evil Queen had told him and suddenly it all made sense.
