Once upon a time, a long long time ago, well actually 20 years ago, Belle married her Beast in front of 6000 of their closest friends. There was a Big cake. Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon, King Adam or Beast as he's best known as, united the kingdoms and got himself elected as King of the United States of Auradon. After that, he rounded up all the villains, sidekicks, and pretty much all the interesting guys and booted them off Auradon to a remote island with a magical barrier. This is my hood; no magic, no wi-fi, no way out. Or so I thought. Don't worry, you'll get to meet us soon. But first, this happened.

Unknown POV:
Hi, so it's a special day in Auradon. My best friend, Prince Benjamin, is going to be crowned king next month. Ben is the son of Queen Belle and King Adam or King Beast as he's more commonly known. In the Castle Beast, Prince Ben was getting his suit tailored while looking at the isle in shame.

"Sleeve. Head," His tailor said while taking measurements. I looked at Ben with confusion. Wonder what he's worried about.

Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Princess Tatiana but I prefer to be called Tina. I'm the daughter of Queen Tiana and King Naveen - the ones who were turned into frogs by the wicked Shadow Man - and the future Royal adviser to Ben. I am hardworking like my mother and love to cook, but I inherited my dad's good looks and charm, so boys are always interested in me. I also like the color green and lilies. Anyway, back to the story, while Ben is getting his suit tailored, King Beast and Queen Belle came into view.

"How is it possible that you're gonna be crowned king next month?" Questioned the High King. "You're just a baby."

"Hi pops," greeted Ben.

"Hi King Beast," I greeted as well.

"Honey, he's turning sixteen," said Belle.

"16? That's far too young to be king," said Adam. "I haven't made my first good decision until I was 42."

"Uh, you decided to marry me at age 28," retorted Belle.

"We'll it was either you or the teapot," Adam playfully commented giving us a wink but stopped when he saw the scornful look on his wife's face. "Kidding."

"Mom, Dad. Tina and I have chosen my first official proclamation," said Ben. This made the prince's parents smile.

"We've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost should be given a chance," I explained the proclamation before letting Ben finish.

"To live in Auradon." This made both parents gasp and Belle to drop the suit she was holding.

"Every time I look at the Isle I feel like they've been abandoned," the honey blonde explained.

"Yeah, and I heard some rumors that the conditions aren't exactly the best for kids." I added.

"The children of our sworn enemies living among us?" Asked King Beast getting angry.

"We'll start with a few and then work our way. The ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen the 5 that are coming, with a bit of help from Tina." Ben reassured. Before the High King could say anything, his wife interrupted.

"I gave you a second chance when you saved me from those wolves," reminded Queen Belle to her husband and turned to us. "Who are the children and their parents?"

"Carlos De Vil, son of Cruella De Vil. Jay, son of Jafar," Answered Ben listing the first two villain kids and their parents.

"Hank Hearts, son of Queen of Hearts. Evie Grimhilde, daughter of Evil Queen." I said the other two villain kids and their parents. We both took a slight pause before saying the last villain on our list.

"And Mal, daughter of Maleficent."

Saying the last kid's mother made the tailor jump and gasp in fear while it made King Beast very angry.

"MALEFICENT?!" he shouted furiously. "She's the worst villain in the land!"

"Dad just hear us out!" Ben said trying to reason with his dad.

"I won't hear of it!" He said growling. "They are guilty of unspeakable crimes! Maleficent tried to murder Aurora and Phillip; the Queen of Hearts tried to decapitate Alice; Cruella tried to kill 99 innocent puppies to make a coat; Jafar tried to usurp the Sultan's throne and kill Aladdin and Jasmine; the Evil Queen tried to murder Snow White!"

"Their parents are guilty!" I stepped in. "But the children are innocent! They weren't even alive when their parents committed those crimes. And anyway, we didn't decide to bring the son of Gaston or the daughter of Shadow Man because we knew you would rage even further if we did."

"Exactly," said Ben supporting my statement, "don't you think they should get a chance for a normal life? Dad?"

There was some serious tension as silence fell for a few moments.

"I suppose the children are innocent," agreed King Beast as his wife went to us.

"Well done, both of you," she praised us before turning to her husband. "Shall we?"

And with that, Belle and her Beast walked out of the room to put the proclamation into effect. Ben stared out to the Isle before turning back to me.

"Am I really making the right call?" He asked me.

"It was your proclamation," I replied, "and I fully support you all the way."

"Thank you. You are a true friend. I'm glad I chose you as my royal advisor."

"That will be after you become king, remember?" I teasingly replied.

Ben just gave me a chuckle as he rubbed his ring and continued to stare at the island, determined to give those poor children a second chance.
