Roses and Hooks /// Harry Hook

Chapter 22: Freedom Come

A week has passed since the wedding, and the happy couple have spent most of it the old hideout. They chose to spend their honeymoon there because no one lives there, and no one would be dumb enough to disturb them.

The first night after the wedding they didn't get much sleep after being away from each other for so long. After that, they ran around the Isle playing tricks and pranks on everyone they seen. Every night for dinner, they would go to the Fish n Chips to tell Uma what they had done that day.

At night, when they're locked away up in the hideout, they talk about what they want to teach their kid, and future kids. The talk about what their kids will look like, what they're going to name them, who's going to teach them to sword fight, which lead to them play fighting over who's the best fighter.

Rose and Harry are packing up the last of Rose's things to move them over to the hideout, which is where they've decided to live since they can't live on Rose's yacht. Harry is helping her go through her go through all of her clothes to figure out what to take to the hideout and what to take to Uma's ship, which will be their second home.

"Rose! Harry!" The couple look at each other before racing down the stairs to see Uma pointing towards the front of the Isle. "Mal and Ben are talking about taking down the barrier for good! It's all over the news!"

"What?" Rose says and looks at Harry. Harry looks at Rose before grabbing her hand and pulling her as they follow Uma to the front of the Isle. The crowd parts as they see the couple, letting them race through with Uma on their tails.

"We had made the decision to close the barrier once and for all, but I have realized we are all capable of both good and evil no matter what side of the barrier we come from." Mal says as Rose, Harry, Uma, and now Gil all looks up at the giant jumbo TV's that they had put at the front of the Isle.

"Is this really happening?" Gil asks his three best friends as Rose chew on her lip and rubs her stomach. She'd started to show just a small bit over the past week, and Harry gushes about it every time he sees her with no shirt on.

"I don't know." Rose tells him quietly as she focuses on the giant screen that shows her brother and Mal.

"Without Uma and her pirates, Auradon wouldn't be standing. Without Harry Hook, the mad pirate, Rose would be lost to us all forever. We miss you, Rose." Mal says as her and Ben smile at the camera, and Rose smiles up at the screen.

"I miss you all, too." Rose says softly and Harry wraps his arms around her from behind. He knew that Rose missed her brother, but Rose had resolved herself to living happily on the Isle. She knew her brother would be doing the same in Auradon.

"And without Hades, my father, Audrey and Rose would've never woken up. They would be gone." Mal looks down, and Rose assumes she's looking down at Audrey in the crowd. "Which is why I can't be Queen of just Auradon, but I need to be Queen of the Isle, too."

"We're opening the barrier once and for all." Ben announces, and Rose watches as her father tries to stop them. "Enough, dad. You chose me to be king, and I choose to be a king that moves forward. Plus, I don't know about you, but I really miss my sister."

"Come on." Uma says, and the four of them run up to the balcony as Mal's gang run up to her and Ben. The two gangs look at each other as best they can from the two sides of their world, and smile.

"To make the world a better place, we have to do it face to face." The two groups chant, and Rose gasps as she watches a long golden stream of magic hit the barrier. The Isle rocks a little, and everyone watches with awe as the barrier starts to break and disappear as the long golden bridge that turns to solid stone forms between the Isle and Auradon.
