{THIRD PERSON POV}
The next day was Madi and Ben's engagement party, music started playing as Madi and Ben walked out, holding hands.
"There they are," Evie exclaimed as everyone bowed and curtsied to the couple.
Everyone cheered as they walked up the stairs towards the balcony that overlooked the party. They stood at the edge of the balcony before looking down at everyone.
"Lady Madi and I want to thank you for celebrating our engagement with us today," Ben announced to the crowd before turning to Madi, "I couldn't be more prouder or happier to call you my Queen. So..." Ben picked up his glass and turned back to the crowd, "Raise your glasses to our future Queen of Auradon."
"To our Queen of Auradon," The crowd echoed back before cheering.
"Speech, your Special-ness," Carlos jokingly called up to Madi.
"Speech, your Fancy One," Jay added as everyone laughed.
Everyone looked up at Madi, waiting, as she hesitated while she looked across at the Isle of the Lost. Everyone exchanged confused looks
"I can't," Madi blurted as everyone gasped, "I can't be Queen of Auradon."
"Madi," Ben whispered, confused, as he stepped closer to Madi as Madi turned to him.
"I can't turn my back on the Isle," Madi told Ben before turning back to the crowd, "We made a decision... to close the barrier forever and it was my idea but it's wrong. I've learned... that you can't live in fear... because it doesn't actually protect you from anything. You never know where the bad is gonna come from and you never know where the heroes are gonna come from either. Without Uma and her pirates, Auradon would be gone. And without Hades... mine and Mal's father..." Madi paused as everyone, besides her friends, gasped in shock, "...Audrey would be gone. We are all capable of good and bad, no matter which side of the barrier we come from," Madi told the crowd before turning to Ben, who was looking at her with a proud smile, "And that's why I can't be Queen of just Auradon. I have to be Queen of the Isle, too and it's time that we take the barrier down, forever."
"We can't do that," Beast whispered to the two.
"It's up to us dad," Ben told his dad before he turned to the crowd, "I choose to be a King who moves forward. It's time for forgiveness, It's time for new beginnings. The barrier will come down!"
"Yes! Whoo!" Carlos cheered causing everyone to laugh.
"Bring it down, Madi," Ben told Madi as Madi cupped Ben's face.
