Chance To Be Good?

Chapter 15

We watch as Ben slowly makes his way to the wand and his parents, Fairy Godmother takes the crow from King Adam's head as Ben arrives, she places it upon his head before taking the wand "Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?" She asks "I do solemnly swear." "Then it is my honour and my joy to bless our new king." Jane grabs the wand, taking us all by surprise "Child, what are you doing?!" Fairy Godmother asks " If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" A beam of magic breaks the window as the spell goes wrong "Take cover!" Adam yells "Careful, Nix!" Belle calls as Mal shoves me out of her way and snatches the wand from Jane "Mal, give me the wand." Ben asks as he makes his way towards me and helps me up. He then walks towards Mal. "Stand back." She demands "It's okay." "Ben, I said stand back!" Mal shouts Audrey snaps "I told you so!" I walk to a clear area where I could see the wand "You really want to do this?" Ben asks "We have no choice, Ben! Our parents..." Mal trails off "Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours." Ben tells her, "I think I want to be good." Mal whispers with tears in her eyes, "I command, wand to my hand. " I whisper, holding my hand out and it rips away from Mal and into my hand. "You are good." I call to her, "How do you know that?" She asks, looking at me. "Because... Because I'm listening to my heart." I place my hand with the wand over my heart before walking towards Fairy's godmother and holding the wand out. "thank you dear" "I want to listen to my heart, too. And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents. I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy. And you scratching the dude's belly makes you happy. Who would've thought? And Evie... You do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart. And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school. And be with Ben. Because Ben makes me really happy. Us being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things. I choose good, you guys." Mal tells her friend group "I choose good, too." Jay agrees. " I choose good." Evie nods. "So, just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be? Because they're gonna be really, really mad." Carlos asks. "Your parents can't reach you here." Ben says and I hurry over to him. "Ben, what if Jane broke the barrier? What if they can return?" I ask "that's impossible" "I'm back!" Maleficent cackles "It can't be. Go away, mother." "She's funny. Oh! I'm so... you're very funny" Maleficent laughs "Bibbidi-bobbidi..." "Boo. Psych. Ooh. Ooh, in another time, in another time. Evil like me, don't you wanna be mean... Ow! Oh. Oh, no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs. Where shall we begin? I know. Why don't we start by getting rid of this? Perfect fit! Oh, excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me. The horns, the horns! Aw... Falling in love is weak... And ridiculous. It's not what you want." "You don't know what I want! Mom, have you ever once asked me what I want?" I ask Maleficent since she knew who I was and there was no denying it "oh obviously, your father took you away from me and made you soft. Mal will be just like me in a few years, while you remain a disappointment" she laughs while holding the wand and my ring "No, I will not. And I really wish that you had never gotten there yourself." Mal protests "Love is not weak or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing." I tell Maleficent before turning to Mal "do that wand spell" she whispers "I know one thing, young lady. You have no room for love in your life!" "And now I command, wand to my hand!" I grin as I hold the wand but the ring had fell off as it flew towards me "I hardly think so. Frankly, this is tedious and very immature. Give me the wand. Give me the wand!" She demands like a child "Hold on, Mal, Nix. Maybe good really is more powerful than evil." Carlos suggests before releasing Dude from his grasp "Oh, please! You're killing me. Arf! Oh! Oh, the breath! The breath! Get off me! Gaston should be jealous. Enough! You all will regret this!" She turns into a dragon "Come on. Run, Jay, run!" Carlos shouts as Maleficent goes after Jay "Hurry, Jay. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Jay! Watch it, Jay Jay, come on Please, Jay! Jay!" Mal begs and Jay screams as he falls to the floor "Evie your mirror, Mal to me" I call "Magic mirror, show your bright light!" Evie holds the mirror to Maleficent blinding her for a few moments "there's a spell to make Maleficent as small as the love in her heart, we can alter it to the number of people we have here" I point out and she nods calling her friends over and we hold hands as sisters "Behind me, E! Leave my friends alone! This is between you and me, mother. The strength of evil is good as none when standing before five hearts as one. The strength of evil is good as none when standing before five hearts as one. The strength of evil is good as none when stands before five hearts as one!" Mal calls as her eyes glow green just like the dragon's eyes and then a puff of smoke clouds the room "oh" Fairy godmother calls as the cloud disappears "What just happened?" Evie asks "I have no idea." Mal and I speak in sync and we let go of each other "Did you do it?" "I don't know." "No, no, no, no. Your mother did. She shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why It's so itty-bitty." Fairy godmother kneels down to the lizard so Mal and I go over and look "Is she gonna be like that forever?" I ask "Well, forever is a long time. You learned to love. So can she." She explains "I believe this belongs to you." I return the wand to her again "And I believe this... Belongs to you. You all have earned yourselves an "a" in goodness class. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" I put my ring back on, I look around to see everyone is back to normal

"Next time, I rescue you, okay?" Ben asks as he runs over to me "Yeah. Let's not let there be a next time, okay?" I laugh as I rest my head on his shoulder "let's get this party started!" Jay calls "I'm not one for partying... Oh, Ben, I need to talk to my mother about something important, don't wait for me" I tell him as I pick up the hem of my dress and run to Persephone
