"Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" Fairy Godmother enchanted and fixes everything. The Hyneas and Goblins vanish. The dark red clouds are chased away and replaced with bright blue and white hues. It looked like nothing ever happened.
Everything was safe now.
"Now...you are amazing" young Fay admires her older self. Compared to how she is now, seeing herself like this felt like such a dream. A dream that felt impossible to reach.
"And you will be too. Just believe and keep trying. I promise you, it will all work out" Fairy Godmother lifts the chin of her younger self. She knew it was a journey, but the goal wasn't worth it if it didn't have its challenges.
"So...I get with Ella?" Charming smiles at his adult self. He had always caught himself admiring his classmate, but never really talked to her. It's always just been small smiles and acknowledgment that they exist.
"It'll take some time, buddy" The King patted his younger self on the back. Cinderella smiles at the younger version of her husband. "Just know you'll be making me very happy in the future. Would you like to meet your future daughter?"
"Oh, certainly!"
Zellie was in shock, seeing her older self and her mother. "This is unbelievable!" She smiles. "How am I as Queen? Do I grow out of my hippie phase?"
"I could lie and give you hope...but nope."
"Wow..." Rapunzel gasps. Both girls look over at Mom and at the same time, say "Try not to freak out, Mom." They shocked themselves and giggled at the same time. "Why would I freak out? This is completely normal! Okay, I'm looking at my teenage daughter and my adult daughter. I'm looking at my teenage daughter and my adult daughter..."
Aladdin and Jasmine were talking to their younger selves as well. "Nice moves there, little dude" Aladdin fist-pumps himself. "Same to you, good-looking. Nice to know I haven't changed too much."
"So does everything with us...work out?" Young Jasmine asks, worried. To reassure her, adult Jasmine wraps her arms around Aladdin's and pecks him on the lips. "Better than we could ever imagine."
Bridget and Malik see their younger selves, they see their broken selves. "Thank you both for coming and helping," Malik tells them.
"Can it be fixed?" Malik asks, looking up at his older self's horn. "Only by Maleficent...and I don't that'll be happening anytime soon."
"What about you?" Bridget looks at her older self. "Will you be okay?"
"I don't know" The Queen looked at her hair, small streaks of pink were forming.
"I'll help them" Cinderella approaches them. "Thank you both for coming. And Ulyana."
The Sea Witch's arms were crossed, but she looked down. She caused all this, she couldn't bring herself to look up. But she kept her pride.
Cinderella, in a royal diplomatic position, holding her hands in front of her approached Ulyana. "Thank you for coming and telling us the truth. I was so upset over what you did to my friends, I never thought of what you must have been going through. I'll be sure to pay a visit to your older self as well."
"You forgive me?" She asks, finally bringing herself to look up.
"Yes."
"So do I" Malik steps forward.
The Queen of Hearts was reluctant, but she also stepped forward with Malik. "I...forgive you too."
"So do we" Young Malik walks up with Bridget. "And if we could start over, I think we could be friends." She holds out her hand to Ulyana. The Sea Witch had a small smirk and held her hand out to Bridget, who happily took it. She looked to the side and spotted Uma.
"So...Ursula, she's the worst, right?" Uma laughs at her aunt.
"Definitely. I did all this just I could, what, please her?"
"Ey, forget her. It'll make everything easy. Stay cool out there, aunt" the two sea witches fist bump fist.
Red, Chloe, Malachi, and Scarlett were hanging together. "So did we just save the world?" Scarlett smiles.
"I think we did" Red nods. "And it was pretty wicked" Malachi smirks.
"Thank you. All of you" Chloe smiles at them. "You helped me save my family. Mom! Dad!" Chloe races to her parents and tackles her parents with a bear hug. "Chloe, you saved us" King Charming smiles.
"It wasn't just me. It was my...my friends too" Chloe smiles, looking back at the three VKs. The three approach the King and Queen. "Thank you guys for saving us and keeping our daughter safe" Cinderella smiles.
"Of course, your majesty" Red nods. "Your girl's pretty cool."
"Cinderella, dear" Fairy Godmother approaches. "I think it's time we send them back."
"Of course."
The teenagers from the past gather themselves. "Thank you all once more. You helped save Auradon" fairy Godmother smiles. "Now go and make sure everything we do will lead up to this moment again. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!"
Surrounded by a golden aura, the teenagers vanish in a bright light.
"Ella!" The Queen calls out to Cinderella. She walks over to her two friends. "We're sorry," Malik says. "We accused you of so many years for something you never did. Can you ever forgive us?"
Cinderella doesn't say anything. Instead, she wraps them both in a tight hug. After a few minutes, she takes their hand and leads them to her baby's carriage. She picks up her baby girl. "Celeste, this is your Auntie Bridget. This is your Fairy Godfather, Malik."
Tears formed in Malik's eyes. Bridget smiles. A smile she hadn't done since she was 16. A genuine happy smile. "Would you like to hold her?" She hands her to Bridget, who grins and looks down at the baby, who instantly starts playing with her pink hair.
King Charming exits the castle and hands something to Cinderella, wrapped in blue clothing. "Malik, I kept this since that day" She removes the clothes to reveal it was Malik's broken horn. Malik lets out a shaky breath.
"I may not be able to fix it, but I am able to give it to you."
"Thank you" tears shed from his years and she holds the Horn in his hand.
Red, Quinn, and Malachi approach their parents. "Red, Quinn" Bridget hands Celeste back to Cinderella and faces her children. "I shouldn't have treated you the way that I did. It was...I was...wrong."
The two share a glance before they do something unexpected. Quinn surprised her with a kiss on her cheek. Red grabbed her hand and laid her head on her shoulder. "We understand. After everything you've been through. We understand,"
"Malachi...I'm sorry, I" Malik was cut off by his son, who for the first time ever, hugged his father. At first, Malik's arms stood stiff at his sides. He'd never been on the receiving end of such an embrace; he didn't know what to do. Then, instantly, the villain raised his hands and hugged his son back.
Soon, the four teenagers regrouped. "You know, I've never really been to a party," Scarlett says, and Red and Malachi nod in agreement.
"Well, then, let's get it started!" Chloe smiles.
One last chapter...
