Audrey's P.O.V

It seemed like only yesterday that I met Synthia and her friends for the first time, and now here we are, graduating from Auradon Prep. The odd thing was, I hadn't been able to find Synthia all day, and I was worried about her.

Synthia's P.O.V

The night before...

I woke up to someone standing over me, someone I didn't want to see. "How did you -" I started, then a hand covered my mouth. "Shh. Wouldn't want to wake anyone up now, would we?" Hook said, and before I knew it, I blacked out.

When I woke up, it took me a moment to realize where I was, and I started to panic. "I can't be here right now! I'm supposed to graduate today!" I shouted. "Harry, your girlfriend is awake," I heard the voice of Gil say from somewhere nearby. "Ah. How are ye feeling?" Harry asked, and for some reason, I calmed down when I saw him. "I'm alright," I said. "That's good to hear," he said, leaning over and kissing me. I didn't even fight it, finding it somewhat pleasant. Something felt wrong, though, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

Audrey's P.O.V

I had to accept Synthia's diploma on her behalf, since she still hadn't shown up. I decided to ask Mal and Evie if they knew anything about what might have happened to Synthia, but they said they had no idea what could have happened to her. They did, however, agree to help me look for clues.

After almost two weeks, we still hadn't found anything as to where Synthia went, but that was all about to change. One morning, I was getting ready to go out to look for Synthia again, when I heard something that made the hair on my neck stand up on end.

Synthia:
Come, little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment

Come, little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic

I found Mal, Evie, Ben, and Jay standing by the bridge to the Isle, where a number of people, among them Carlos and Jane, were walking towards the Isle as though they were in a trance. "I think we figured out where Synthia went," Mal said simply. "Yeah. Let's follow Carlos and Jane, maybe they'll lead us to Synthia," I said, and we walked up behind them. We reached the Isle, where the barrier opened to let the kids through. We followed them through, wondering where they were going until we saw the Lost Revenge. "I'm gonna kill Harry Hook," I growled under my breath. When I saw Synthia, however, my breath caught in my throat.

"Wow. She looks amazing," Evie said, and I elbowed her in the ribs. "Ow!" She said. "She's my girlfriend," I said. "Just making a comment, jeez," she said. "Sorry. I just can't bear to lose her," I said. "And I would never steal her from you," Evie said. I met Synthia's eyes, and something was off about them. It was just like Ben at Cotillion. "I've got to get to her," I said. "We'll create a distraction for you. Go get her," Mal said. While the others drew the attention of the pirates, Harry included, I snuck onto the Lost Revenge and made my way to Synthia. "Go away. You never really cared about me," she said, but I wasn't fazed by the comment. "I always have, and always will care about you, Syn," I said. "Don't call me that! And get back!" She yelled, but I ignored her, instead pulling her into a kiss. "A-Audrey? What are you doing here? What am I doing here?" She asked. "Harry Hook kidnapped you and put you under a love spell," I explained. "Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no," she said, and I sensed a panic attack brewing. "Listen, no matter what happened, I forgive you. You don't have to tell me, because I think I already know what you wanted to tell me," I said, taking her hand.

We got all of the children back to Auradon without having a single villain escape, somehow. Even though she wouldn't talk, I could tell that Synthia was extremely upset with herself, and no matter how many times I told her that she wasn't to blame for any of what happened with her and Harry, she wouldn't listen. It made me feel helpless, but I had no idea how much more helpless I was about to feel.

About two months after rescuing Synthia from Harry Hook, I walked into the castle that Synthia and I had bought for ourselves, finding her sitting in the living room in silence. "Hey Syn, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked her. "Huh? Oh, sure," she said, getting up and walking over to me. "Well, I've been thinking about this for a little while, and I thought now was the time," I said, lowering myself onto one knee. "Synthia Sanderson, will you marry me?" I asked, holding out a ring. "Oh, Audrey.  Of course I'll marry you!" She replied, letting me put the ring on her finger. I pulled her into a kiss, but it felt different, like she was holding herself back. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing. This is the best day of my life," she said rather unconvincingly. "I know that's not true. Is it something to do with what happened when Harry spelled you?" I asked, and she nodded as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. I didn't even need to ask her what it was at that point, and I pulled her into a warm embrace. "No matter what you choose to do, I'll support you, one hundred percent," I said. "You're not mad at me?" She asked. "Of course not! You were under a spell. You weren't thinking straight. This will not tear us apart. I'll love this baby as if it were my own," I said, softly kissing her.
