Evie had just delivered Bonnies dress. She had never seen it before because she wanted to be surprised. And surprised she was, the dress was stunning, Bonnie could tell that Evie took inspiration from her mothers ball gown and she was so happy it was like that.

Once she put on the dress she promised she'd show her parents. And she was so excited too.

She nodded lightly on her fathers study door the room she knew her parents were in. "Come in"she heard her father welcome.

"Okay but close your eyes."She smiled before stepping into the middle of the room."Okay you can open them now!"she said excitedly and their reaction was worth it.

Belle gasped before smiling brightly at her daughter. "It's wow- angel your stunning"the older woman clapped a hand over her mouth and tears formed in her eyes. "Oh mom don't cry"Bonnie embraced the woman and the moment was beautiful.

Once they pulled apart she looked over to her father who was wiping away tears as well. "Oh come on not you too"she rolled her eyes playfully before embracing her dad.

"Where's Ben?"

--~*~--

The cameras were clicking wildly and the flashes were bright in Bonnie's face. "You look beautiful Bonnie"

"You look just like your mother!"

"Thank you"Bonnie smiled and posed for them like she normally did, she couldn't help but wonder if Gil was watching on the isle. She didn't know why but it looked in the back of her head.

"Who are you wearing tonight?"

"Evie's 4 hearts, thank you so much for this Evie I love it!, there's also a few accessories by Dizzy tremaine from the isle so thank you dizzy! I recently spent a bit of time on the isle and it was a real eye opener. I also met someone there who showed me that good can really blossom in a bad place. So thank you.. you know who you are"she winked at the camera before walking away leaving the press with unanswered questions.

And some where on the isle Gil was watching and his heart skipped a beat.

--~*~--

The music and dancing stopped as lumiaire  announced Mal. She stepped out and he whispered something that made her laugh. She was stunning as she walked down the steps while everyone clapped. She stood with Bonnie and her parents.

"You look beautiful"Adam commented and Mal thanked him, "yes! Oh my goodness your stunning!"Bonnie rushed over and hugged her quickly before standing normally again. "I know we were shocked at first but you.. are exactly what Ben needs."Belle smiled warmly

"And lucky for me she doesn't go by first impressions"Adam joked and everyone laughed. Mal was quick taken away by Evie.

"King Benjamin!"Lumiaire announced as Ben walked forward. Everyone clapped like they did for Mal. He walked down the stairs and stood before Mal. "Mal, I wish I had time to explain."

But what took everyone by surprise was the fact Uma walked out. And everyone was shocked.

Ben went up to meet her and they walked down together and she was wearing Mal's ring. "I'm sorry it all happened so fast. Something happened to me when I was on the isle with Uma. A connection."

And Bonnie thought her tiny crush in Gil was mad. But this was utterly ridiculous Mal and Ben were soulmates there was no denying that.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying-"Ben started but Uma cut him off "it was love!" Uma giggled "I realised how alike Ben and I are, you know?"

"Ben. Ben! Did you go back for her?"

"He didn't have to. I dove through the barrier before it closed. And I'm an excellent swimmer so." Ben and Uma started laughing and it shook Bonnie to her core. How could Ben the sweetest person Bonnie knew do this to his girlfriend.

"Listen Mal I just really wanna thank you. I really do. For everything" Uma hugged Mal and the purple haired girl looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't you see Mal you were right. You knew that we weren't meant to be together. That's why you never told me that you loved me. Thank you."

The couple started to dance. And Bonnie walked over to join them. "We're with you Mal. I'm with you this is madness."Bonnie whispered into Mal's ear and she nodded. Jay walked over and offered Mal to leave which she accepted but Jane and Bonnie shared a look. They knew they had to show off the present. To remind Ben that he loved Mal.

The stained glass window was unveiled and everyone was transfixed. Jane and Bonnie shared a look of triumph hoping that was enough to make Ben come to his senses.

"COVER THAT BACK UP!" Uma demanded but Lumiaire denied her. "Why don't you tell everyone the present that you have for me Ben."Uma put back up the sweet lady act that wasn't fooling anyone.

"I have an announcement!... Uma will be joining the court tonight as my lady."

"Son-"

"NOT NOW DAD!"Ben growled at him his voice laced with malice. This definitely wasn't Ben talking." So as my gift to her I'm bringing down the barrier once and for all!" Everyone gasped. "Fairy godmother bring down the barrier."

"I most certainly will not."Fairy godmother denied angering ben further. "I AM YOUR KING!"

"Obey him."Uma joined in

"Ben. Look at me." "No look at me."

"You love me remember?" "-No you don't."

"Yes you do." "Ben look at me."

"Bring down the barrier now!"Uma growled turning back to face the fairy godmother. "I do not take orders from you."

"Ben I never told you that I loved you because I thought I wasn't good enough. And I thought it was only a matter of time before you realised that yourself. But Ben that's me!"Mal pointed behind him at  the stained glass window. "I'm part isle part Auradon. And Ben you've always known who we were and who we can be. I know what love feels like now. And of course I love you. Ben I've always loved you." She kissed him. True loves kiss works every time.

Everyone awed and Bonnie whistled loudly in celebration, Belle turned and raised an eyebrow that said 'if you must'.

"Mal."
