Haden stood next to Evie, Jay and Carlos was standing next to them, while they all waited for Mal and Ben to arrive. After a few minutes the King and future Queen arrived as the citizens cheer as they waved at them.

"There they are." Evie said, excitedly, as she held onto Haden's hand and his forearm with her other hand. Mal stood in front of Haden and Evie with a smile.

"Hi." Evie whispered to Mal, Mal pulled her brother into a tight hug, then Ben done the same.

They then walked up the stairs and onto the balcony where Fairy Godmother, Beast and Belle were.

"Lady Mal and I wanna thank you for celebrating our engagement with us today. I couldn't be prouder or happier to call you my Queen." Ben announced as he turned to Mal with a smile on his face. "So...raise your glasses." Ben says as everyone raises their glasses.

"To our future Queen of Auradon." Ben adds, before taking a sip of his drink.

"Speech, Your Special-ness." Carlos says with a accent and a grin.

"Speech, Your Fancy One." Jay adds doing the same accent.

Everyone laughs as everyone turned their attention back towards the future Queen and King.

There's a silence, as Haden, Evie, Jay and Carlos all share a concerned look with each other.

"I can't." Mal said, as she earning some gasps from everyone.

"I can't be Queen Of Auradon." She adds.

"Mal." Ben says as he takes her hand.

"I can't turn my back on the Isle." Mal turns her head to look at Ben, holding his hand. She then turns back around to face everyone again.

"We made a decision...to close the barrier forever. And it was my idea." Mal says as she points to herself.

"But it's wrong."

Haden turned his head to see that Evie had tears forming, and he lets go of her hand and pulled her closer to him by her waist.

"I've learned...that you can't live in fear...because it doesn't actually protect you from anything." Mal chuckles slightly as her voice cracks.

"You never know where the bad is gonna come from. And you never know where the heroes are gonna come from either. Without Uma and her pirates, Auradon would be gone. And without Hades...mine and Haden's father." Even though some people know that Hades is our father there's a few people who still don't know. Which some people gasped too when Mal announced hers and Haden's fathers name.

"My brother...and Audrey would be gone." Mal adds as she looks at Audrey and then at her brother and sends him a sad smile. "We are all capable of good and bad, no matter which side of the barrier we come from. And that's why I can't be Queen of just Auradon. I have to be Queen of the Isle, too." Mal turns to face Ben then turns again to face the Isle. And it's time that we take the barrier down forever." Mal adds with a smile as she faced Ben again, as a tear ran down her face.

Haden was looking at his sister with a proud smile

"We can't do that." King Adam said.

"It's up to us, Dad." Ben replied as he looked back at his father.

Ben turns his head back to Mal, with a smile then turned towards as he places his hand on Mal's "I choose to be a King who moves forward. It's time for forgiveness." Ben said as he smiled at everyone. "It's time for new beginnings." he continued.

Evie was smiling as a tear ran down her face, and squeezed Haden's hand. She looked at him and smiled as she puts her head onto his shoulder.

"The barrier will come down!" Ben announced.
