"Take care, okay?"

Jane asked Carlos, slipping her hand through his vest.

They were all standing together in front of the portal just waiting to leave.

"Are you going to be fine?"

Jay asked his longtime girlfriend.

"Are you really worried that I'm going to be okay? Watch out for the pirates."

She asked, hugging him.

"I have experience."

He gave her a long kiss.

"Mommy, come back soon, my prince."

Evie, who kept kissing her son, said. She cried as she kissed the baby's cute cheeks.

"Tell Mommy it's not the first time you've been with Daddy."

Doug made his baby voice, taking his son on his lap.

"But not in this situation. Are you going to be all right?"

She turned her attention to her husband, fixing his glasses.

"We're going to be fine and you promise that in two days you'll come back to us?"

"I promise."

Evie hugged them both.

"Two days?"

Ben asked, holding her hands tightly and looking into her green eyes.

"Not a day more."

She just let go of him and threw herself into his embrace, smelling his perfume. This was one of the deepest hugs to come.

"Just come back soon, okay?"

He said in her ear.

"I promise."

She kissed him.

"And it may seem impossible, but try not to hurt yourself."

Ben asked.

"You're right, it is impossible. I love you."

"I love you too."

They laughed and had their last kiss together, before the biggest adventure of their lives began.

"The name of the fairy you're looking for is Tinker Bell, I don't know how she is, I haven't seen her for years. But I think she'll help you without any problems."

Clarion explained last.

Rashid poured some of the yellow potion over them and within seconds they were in the middle of a forest.

"Where are we?"

Jay asked, already putting his hand on his sword.

"Neverland." Rashid clarified, recognizing the surroundings. "Don't get separated, always together. This place can be dangerous and you don't want to get lost here."

"What about Peter Pan? Isn't he liking the king of the place?"

Carlos asked, since it seemed obvious to him.

"Who calls me?"

When they looked up at the sky, they saw a boy with golden hair and light brown eyes who looked about thirteen.

"Man, he's..."

Jay reached Carlos' ear and asked.

"Pan... I'm Peter Pan, and you?"

The lost boy landed on the ground in front of them.

"I'm Rashid born in Wonderland, but I came from Auradon."

The older man introduced himself, afraid of what the island's owner might say or do to them.

"Funny name." Pan laughed. "And you guys?"

"We're Evie, Carlos Jay and Mal, from the Isle of the Lost."

The Evil Queen's daughter introduced everyone and he followed the introduction with his eyes to see who was who

"Carlos and Jay? Long time no see."

The boy seemed to analyze the adults and after doing so he hugged them tightly as if they were long-time friends.

"Do we know each other?"

Jay asked, looking at Carlos for answers.

"Sword fights? Race to the volcano?" They denied everything. "Oh, you've grown up, I just forgot."

"We came here as children? this is impossible!"

Carlos wanted to laugh, because he knew it was unlikely.

"No, you came here when you dreamed."

Pan explained.

"We're from the Isle of the Lost, how is that possible?"

"A child is a child, no matter where they come from." He shrugged as if it were obvious. "So, what are you doing here?"

"We've come after the Hidden Fairy."

Evie answered quickly.

"Tinker Bell?" Peter asked. He really was a child, and as they spoke the boy flew up and hung from the branches of a tree. "She's not hidden."

"Then where is she?"

Mal asked impatiently, since she wasn't exactly a girl who loved kids.

"You're too stressed, that's why your hair is purple?" He joked with her, which she certainly didn't like. "Are your eyes shining? ls this normal?"

"Mal, calm down."

Carlos put his hands on her shoulders.

"Calm down? This kid is playing, while Agatha is going to destroy everything and..."

"Wait, is that witch back?" The golden-haired boy suddenly took on an expression of anger and despair. "How is she back? How could you let her?"

"Peter, that's why we came after Tinker Bell, she can help us."

The boy seemed to think for a while whether it was right to give away his friend's location.

"I'll take you there."

Pixie Hollow

Everyone who stayed at Pixie Hollow was apprehensive. Being away from their partners was distressing and knowing that they were exposing themselves to so much was desperate.

"Dad."

Ben was with his parents, who had forbidden their son to move away from them.

"Hi Ben."

Adam answered immediately, taking his eyes off his book.

"Don't you feel bad about Auradon? I can't stop thinking about the people and how they're doing."

"Of course, I think about them all the time, but for now our attention should be here, because to go to Auradon is suicide."

He said, indicating that he knew what his son had done.

"Do you already know?"

"Yeah."

Belle indicated, her angry mother expression clear.

"How did you know?"

"Cirse, she told us, in case something happened to you she didn't want to be blamed."

"Good to know she knows how to keep a secret."

"She turned me into the Beast, she's a sorceress not a princess."

"Thanks for reminding me."

"How are you? With all this?"

"Fine, I had no choice, did I?"

"It'll work out, everyone's in the same boat."

"Except none of them are in danger of losing their wife, right?"

Ben got up and walked to the West Lake, which reminded him of the Enchanted Lake.

Flashback

"I'm just saying that being turned into a beast is worse than being turned into a toad."

Mal said.

The two of them had been at the lake for a couple of years. They were in the way they liked best, Mal leaning on his chest in the most comfortable way possible, with one of her arms squeezing him and both of their feet in the water.

"Of course not! You know frogs eat flies, right?"

Defended his father. He loved these moments where it was just him and her, with no strings attached, no crowns or anything like that.

"I've eaten worse things on the island."

"Impossible, it's an insect Mal."

"You know there's sour milk on the island, right? I'm sure I've eaten meat that walked."

"Are you serious? How do we allow this?"

"Don't start whining."

"How can I not be sorry? This is inhuman."

"Ben, stop! I've never eaten this again and now we have more children living here." She turned to him and kissed his cheek. "Everything was as it should be, and besides, this is our story, isn't it? The story of how a spoiled, idealizing, overly cute little prince fell in love with an island girl, the daughter of the greatest villain of all time who had cool hair."

He laughed incredibly loudly.

"I'm not spoiled."

"At first glance, yes."

"I prefer the story of the manipulative, stubborn and incredibly beautiful girl who fell in love with the prince who had been in love with her for a long time, but she didn't know it."

"You forgot the cool hair."

"And that she had the most beautiful hair he'd ever seen."

"I know you like purple, royal blue."

"Blue is an amazing color, okay?" He pretended to be offended. "But honestly, ever since I dreamt of a girl with purple hair, it's been the most beautiful color of my life."

"You're ridiculously cute. I love this."

Flashback off

"Just come back soon, baby."

He asked, looking at his wedding ring.
