The days leading up to the coronation felt slow and yet they sped by all the same-the vks were getting anxious as the time drew close and while you already knew the ending of this story-you hoped the six of them would make the right choice.

Harry was losing focus in all his classes, his leg always bouncing with flashes of red dancing in his eyes. Gil sometimes skipped his meals, looking sick to the stomach as Friday came closer. Jay fumbled a few scores during tourney practice, and Carlos seemed to hold Dude even closer than usual-red rimmed eyes hidden behind golden fur.

You wanted to tell them everything would be okay, that they would be safe from their parents; but you couldn't, they had no clue you knew their fates and you didn't want to risk anything. So you simply offered your smiles and comfort, mostly to Harry; who would always smile weakly and take your hand, squeezing it gently.

Late Tuesday night, the vks were in the boy's dorm room surrounding the desk as Mal set out several maps and blueprints of the cathedral, and then a map leading from the limo garage to the isle-where they would make their escape back to the isle with the wand in tow-where Maleficent would unleash hell on Auradon.

"Okay, so we all know what this looks like," Mal muttered, pointing down at a drawing of the wand-the vks nodded, Harry looking down at his map-looking out for anyone that might try to enter the room unannounced-only half listening. "So it will be up on the dais, under the beasts spell jar, Ben will be coming in from here-" Mal pointed down at the map, creating a path from the entrance of the cathedral to the middle platform where Ben would be crowned king. "-Harry and I will be in the very front, you will all be up in the balcony."

The vks nodded again, Gil nearly falling asleep-he had hardly gotten any since his break up with Jane. She was fully ignoring him now.

"Carlos?" Mal said, and he nodded, explaining his part of the plan. "I'll find our limo, so we can break the barrier-and get back on the isle with the wand." Mal nodded again, now looking to Evie.

"And I'll spray the guard with this," she held up the perfume bottle holding the sleeping potion "Two sprays and he'll be out like a light for an hour," Evie mumbled, the one she had used on Chad only lasting for 10 seconds. Mal nodded again, ignoring the hesitancy in everyone's voice-once again-they were having doubts. But they had to push through, they didn't have a choice anymore.

Mal looked around and everyone nodded-they had a plan, all that was left to do was execute it. Mal sighed, sitting down and looking down at her spell book, flipping to the anti-love potion page. Evie caught a glance and frowned, tilting her head as Mal recited the indication to break the spell on Ben.

"M?" Evie said, confusion clear in her voice. Mal looked up, wondering what Evie wanted. "You want to break Ben's love spell?" Evie asked, frowning down at Mal. Mal slowly nodded, shrugging as she did. "yeah," Evie shook her head-she didn't understand. "you know for, after." Evie sat down and Harry's eyes drew to Mal's spell book-swallowing harshly when he thought of you.

"I've just been thinking, you know, when the villains finally do invade Auradon and being to loot, and kick everyone out of their castles..." Mal paused and Jay glanced up at her, holding his tourney stick loosely between his hands. Carlos stared down at Dude, feeling an ache in his heart for what his mother might do to his now beloved mutt. "-and impression their leaders, and destroy all that is good and beautiful." Mal continued, glancing back down at her spell book-her eyes catching onto a small note Ben had left her that had been slipped between the pages. "Ben still being in love with me just seems a little extra...cruel," Mal whispered, shrugging as she turned to Evie, who just stared.

Harry stood, Mal looking at him as he did. He closed his map and then tapped the spell book. "Make two," he muttered, his eyes distant and glassy. Mal nodded, watching him walk out with Gil-not bothering to ask him what was wrong.
