THAT NIGHT was insane, Uma turned up after spelling Ben, Mal had true love's kiss with the king and the two VK girls turned into an octopus and dragon. In summary, it was a lot of gasping and..water. In the end, it was an extremely fun, eventful night.

It's been a couple of months since that day actually, school was also over. I and Carlos are officially the dream couple. Mal and Ben haven't been having any problems, relationship-wise at least. Audrey has come back from her vacation, a while ago actually.

Anyway, tomorrow was VK day. VK day is a day when we original VKs chose another few to come here. Turns out Ben keeps his word when Evie gave him a list of kids who he should let over. He decided, after seeing how bad the conditions were, to update the Isle a bit, put more colour around or whatever.

Also, us five, Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay and I, were staying at Evie's new 'starter castle' as she liked to call it. Right now, I was just lounging around in the kitchen, reading another book, seated at the counter.

"Still reading?" I heard Carlos ask, behind me.

"Mhm.." I hummed, not looking up.

"Boring..." He sighed, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and kissing my temple then leaned his head on the side of mine. I chuckled, rolling my eyes as I marked my page and place the novel on the table.

"You excited for tomorrow?" I asked him, leaning back into his chest.

"Of course."Carlos nodded, grinning when he moved over and sat beside me. Over time, he's become more confident and I'm proud of him.

"You know, maybe one day, the barrier will be taken down." I shrugged, holding his hands in mine.

"Maybe.." He muttered, rubbing my knuckles.

"So, we chose all the kids right?" Mal asked, stepping into the room with Evie and Jay.

"Yeah, Jay and Carlos chose: Squeaky and Squirmy, sons of Smee. I chose: Celia, daughter of Doctor Facilier. And Evie chose: Dizzy, daughter of Drizella, obviously." I listed, counting my fingers.

"Perfect." She smiled, hands together.

Mal wouldn't be choosing a kid, by the way. Ben chose to only pick four this time, but that was okay.

We four grabbed the papers of the child we chose, ready to announce their names. Evie and I walked back over to the rail while the boys stood at the bottom of the steps. Everyone clapped and cheered as we waved at them.

"I can't believe this day has finally arrived!" Evie shouted, smiling widely.

"I really wish we could bring down the barrier and bring you all with us and, who knows, maybe we'll be able to soon?" I shrugged, on the other side of Mal.

"Yeah, we're gonna be back here so many times. You're going to be so sick of us." Mal joked but they laughed it off, shaking their heads.

"So sick of us." E repeated as we all beamed, excited. "Can I get a drum roll, please?"

They stomped their feet on the concrete, mimicking the drum.

"First, I would like to begin, with the granddaughter of Lady Tremaine, daughter of Drizella, my sweet, sweet friend," They knew who it was by now. "my Dizzy."

The girl squealed, running up the stairs to us.

"Next, is son of Smee. Come on, Squeaky." Carlos announced, reading off his paper.

The boy was hesitant to leave his twin but did, nonetheless. It was Jay's turn now. "And no way, we're splitting up the twins, so get over here, Squirmy! Come on!"

"All right, and last, but not least, I chose this friend of mine because we all agreed that she could use Fairy Godmother's Goodness class. Anyway, daughter of Doctor Facilier, Celia!" I shouted and she smirked, coming up and joining us.

Once she came up, I wrapped her in a hug. "I missed you."

"I knew you would." She winked and I rolled my eyes, arm over her shoulders.

Back then, before Auradon, when the four were busy with their parents, I'd hang out with Celia, and sometimes go down to Hades' cave with her. Oh, and yeah, I knew he was Mal's father years ago.

"We'll be back for you guys next week, okay?" Carlos explained.

"K, so pack your stuff." I reminded them.

"Your own stuff!" Jay interrupted, making us laugh lightly at his joke 'cause we, surely, did not bring our own stuff when we went there.

"Where are we going?" Us three girls asked them.

"We're going to.." Celia and Dizzy began.

"AURADON!" This time everyone present yelled, cheering.

It had been a week since VK day and guess what today was. The day Ben popped the question to Mal. If you don't know what the question is, he's essentially proposing to her, finally. Also the day we'd go get the kids so double the excitement.

I was wearing a green T-shirt dress with a black leather belt, cinching my waist, a leather jacket over that, gold jewelry, and a pair of black chunky heels. I was on my way to Ben's office to tell him that everything was ready for his proposal. Only a couple of people knew about it, Me, Carlos, Jay, Evie, Doug, Belle, the Beast, and Fairy Godmother.

I knocked on his door, my own rhythm so he'd know it was me. I heard him say 'Come in!' so I opened the door to see a nervous pacing King.

"Hey." I greeted.

"Esme." He looked up at me and stopped his pacing.

"How are you feeling?" I cocked a brow, conjuring a bottle of water for him to drink, and handing it to him.

"Good, great!" He lied, taking a swig.

"Uh-huh.." I nodded, unconvinced. "Want me to calm you down?"

"How?" Ben looked at me, confused.

"A spell, duh?" I rolled my eyes and he, hesitantly, nodded. I walked closer to him, "Erase these nerves and butterflies to only see the love in his eyes."

After a second, his shoulders dropped and he un-clenches his jaw. "Whoa.."

"Better?"

"Yeah, thank you."

"Mhm, anyway, everything is ready outside for you to pop the question, come on." I stated. "Mal's still looking for Uma, by the way."

"Perfect, let's go." He smiled and he followed me out the door.

"Let's hope you don't mess this up, huh, Benny Boo?" I smirked, walking side-by-side with him.

"Let's hope." He sighed, fixing his tie and making sure he looked presentable.
