"Oh gods," Evie groaned, remembering the fiasco that was the 'treat'. She didn't blame Fairy Godmother of course. There was no way she would know what their parents would act like.

"What happened?" Jane asked.

"You'll see," Mal told her, inwardly groaning at the fit Queen Leah was going to throw upon seeing her mother.

"Oh mother," Aurora sighed as Queen Leah jumped at seeing Maleficent's face but thankfully did not pull Audrey into her grasp. Granted, the giant face of any of the villains would be terrifying to look at.

"So that's her weakness? Technology?" Philip Jr. whispered. He didn't want to have Mal hear his question—while he may not care for Maleficent, he liked Mal. It was clear that Mal was trying to be good, even with the mission forced on her by her mother.

"Most powerful sorcerer in the land and can't figure out how to work a conference call," Jasmine shook her head.

"Can't even manage technology," Leah sniffed.

"But grandmother, why would she?" Phillip Jr. asked. "Maleficent's been on the Isle for twenty years—a lot has changed in terms of technology in that time and as Mal said in the beginning they don't even have wifi."

"Don't talk back to your elders, Phillip. A prince doesn't argue."

"And a grandmother shouldn't play favorites," Phillip Jr. muttered. He knew that if Audrey had said that, Leah would have called her the most brilliant princess in the land.

"Is she actually happy to see Evie?" Snow asked, shocked yet delighted that Evie had some love from her mother.

"Maybe she changed," Ferdinand told her, grabbing Snow's hand and giving his wife a smile. "Do you still want Evie to spend the summer with us?"

"I'll reach out to my step-mother," Snow told him. "Ultimately, it will be Evie's decision but my step mother is Evie's parent. She deserves to know where her daughter is."

"How will you get in contact with her?"

"I'll have to ask Ben."

"Oh of course, she has to make it all about herself," Snow rolled her eyes. Heaven forbid a complement just be a complement.

"What did that even mean?" Grace asked.

"I don't know," Mal sighed.

"Takes one to know one," Lucy Charming muttered, though not as quiet as she had thought as her father gave her a look. Though she also got a high five so it wasn't all bad.

"This will be awkward," Paige muttered, looking longingly over at her twin sister who was sitting by Mal and the others. She wished she could be as brave as Grace to sit with people she didn't know.

"It really was beautiful, Fairy Godmother," Cinderella smiled at her friend. "Thank you again for one of the best nights of my life."

"It was my pleasure dear," Fairy Godmother smiled back at her.

"That's not how magic works," Jane groaned.

"She's just trying to get a rise out of your mother at this point," Mal sighed. "How do you know about magic if your mom didn't teach you?"

"Books do still exist around here, you know."

"Mal to the rescue!" Melody grinned.

"Yeah, props for making that not as awkward as it could have been," Emir chuckled.

"Thanks...I think."

"Can't even tell her daughter that she misses her," Aurora scoffed.

"Probably wanted to know when Jay would be back to stock the shelves," Aladdin muttered.

"I haven't called her 'mommy' since I was three," Mal scoffed. "She could have used 'mother', it wouldn't have seemed that out of place."

"Probably wanted to appear like she was a good mother," Evie pointed out. "After all, my mom used 'mommy'."

"You still call your mother that though."

"How could you not tell that they were plotting something?" Queen Leah scolded Fairy Godmother.

"Because unlike you, Queen Leah, I believe in giving these children the benefit of the doubt," Fairy Godmother told her. "Besides, we did plan on allowing the children to go back to the Isle after the coronation if they chose to."

"You know, she probably would have sold that more if it was just an inquisitive tone and not a demanding one," Kovu pointed out.

"Nice save," Tanner muttered.

"That's not remotely terrifying at all," Rodger snarked.

"Rodger," Anita playfully chided him.

"Good dog," several people in the audience muttered.

"No!" Jane gasped and covered her mouth. Carlos didn't have the heart to remind her that was typical for his mother.

"Go Carlos!" Grace and Margot exclaimed.

"Tell her!" Lucy cheered.

"Awesome!" Most of the guys on the tourney team, along with Mal, Jay, Evie and Dizzy, cheered for Carlos standing up to Cruella.

"Oh no, what an insult," Jane Darling rolled her eyes. "At least he's making a living, granted not an honest living as he's stealing from the other members of the Isle and making them buy back their own property but compared to what we've seen her do, it's something."

"Don't forget," Jasmine told the younger girl. "Jafar was my father's vizier. To go from that to selling a toaster would be the highest insult."

"Hey, wasn't your dad a genie when he got defeated?" Mal asked, turning to Jay.

"Yeah."

"So are you...?"

"No clue."

"We were scared of these guys?" Aladdin whispered to Jasmine.

"Hush," Jasmine whispered back.

"For what you saw or for who we spent our lives with?" Mal asked.

"Probably both," Jane answered for her mother.

"Our definition of treat needs to be changed, I think," Kitty muttered. "How in the world would dealing with those four ever be a treat?"

"No need to provide any examples," Elsa told Mal, who had opened her mouth. "I think we can all picture what those four are capable of."

Everyone turned to look at Mal in surprise. "Really?" Dizzy asked. "Have you met your mother?"

"I was trying to be optimistic," Mal defended her answer.

"That makes so much more sense!" Dizzy sighed in relief. "I thought you'd gone mad for a second there."

"You know, this might just be a crazy idea, but why not have the part with the wand be a private ceremony and then the public coronation be with a fake wand?" Mal threw out there. "You know, in case vengeful villains send their kids to your land with the invitation of the future king with the mission to steal said wand?"

"Or just in general," Jay added.

"Wouldn't any limo work?" Elle asked from her spot in the front row. "I mean, why wouldn't they all have barrier breaking buttons?"

"That's a good point," Eric told his elder daughter. "But let's focus."

"Unharmed of course," Mal amended. "He was the driver from the day we left the Isle. I liked the guy, I wouldn't want to see him harmed."

"He called you jackals," Belle reminded her.

"Not like we haven't been called worse."

"What?" Audrey gasped. There was still a chance that Ben would come back to her and she would have to owe it to Mal of all people.

"Too bad it's unnecessary," Rachel muttered with a smirk.

A few of the princesses had tears streaming down their face as Mal continued to describe what all the villains had planned.

"And you're trying to help them!" Queen Leah exclaimed.

"Did you not hear her earlier mother?!" Aurora countered, reaching her wit's end when it came to her mother. "The kids have no choice. It wasn't like they asked to be a part of this scheme or even came up with it themselves."

"They could have told someone!"

"Who would have believed them?" Aurora cried. "The only one who thought these four did not deserve to be locked up for their parents' crimes was a sixteen year old! Why did any of us think this would be a good idea? Did we not think that by locking children up for the crime of being born that we would just be asking for vengeful children of some of the most powerful beings we've ever encountered?"

"Briar," Phillip said in a low voice, trying to get her to settle but Aurora would not have it.

"Your problem, mother, is that you're too blind to your own prejudice," she said, standing up. "If you'd excuse me, I'd rather sit with Mal and her friends if they'd have me than spend another minute with you right now. I'd think long and hard, mother, about the way you're acting."

"Oh, and what will you do?" Queen Leah asked, raising an eyebrow at her daughter's behavior.

"It might be a while before I allow Audrey or Philip to be alone with you," Aurora told her and several people gasped. Even Leah seemed shocked at such a blow.

"That's it, she's welcomed over here any time!" Jay announced.

"Mal?" Carlos asked, looking over at his friend. Mal looked over at Aurora and gave a brief nod.

Aurora smiled and walked over, sitting behind Jane and Evie.

"Son?" Phillip Sr. asked. He knew that his son would want to sit with his friends.

"And leave you with Audrey and Grandma?" Phillip Jr. scoffed. "Get real Dad."

"You all were really conflicted, huh?" Aurora asked.

"We didn't want to complete the plan," Evie told her.

"But our parents don't exactly welcome failure," Mal finished. "Especially if it meant a way off the Isle."

Ben couldn't help but stare at the screen in shock. He remembered what Mal had said when she was making the love potion. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness that he had been the reason his girlfriend had cried for the first time.

The Blue Fairy waved her wand, not asking if anyone wanted to proceed. It was safe to assume that everyone wanted to move on from that scene.
