You are walking with Maleficent through the wall of thorns, with Aurora still floating and sleeping behind the two of you. When you were walking through the moors, you two came upon a beautiful lake. Maleficent went to stand behind a few trees to hide herself. She waved her fingers at Aurora, and she floated down softly in the grass. You were standing close by her when she finally awoke from her little slumber and asked, "(Y/N), where are we? This place looks beautiful," she said, awestruck.

"You smile at her. 'Well, this is the moors. Beautiful, isn't it?'

"Yes, it absolutely is. It is everything I could have ever imagined." Some beautiful blue little fairies came flying toward Aurora and started to fly around her. She was laughing and spinning around as well. That's when the little fairies got startled by a noise and quickly flew away. You knew they were scared of Maleficent. When Aurora turned around, she said, "I know you're there." She paused for a second and spoke again. "Don't be afraid."

Maleficent chuckled a little and said, "I am not afraid."

Then come out.

Then you'll be afraid.

No, I won't. When Aurora said that, Maleficent walked out of her hiding spot and stopped walking for a second before walking out of the shadows. Aurora was a little taken aback by her appearance but immediately said, "I know who you are."

Maleficent thought about how that could be if only (Y/N) was the one she really spoke to and interacted with when she asked, "Do you?"

You're my Fairy Godmother. Aurora said with excitement

"What?, Maleficent was surprised by her response. She was aware that you occasionally referred to her in that manner, likely due to your closer acquaintance with her. However, she did not anticipate Aurora using that term."

Aurora began excitedly answering her Fairy Godmother. You've been watching over us our whole life. I've always known you were close by.

How?

Your shadow. It's been following me and (Y/N) ever since I was small. Wherever I went,
your shadow was always with us.

You smile at Aurora and say to Maleficent, "You know she's not wrong." Before Maleficent can say anything in response to your remark, Diaval flies in and lands on a branch. Aurora speaks to him.
I remember you. Pretty bird. Diaval caws at her

Maleficent responded with, "This is Diaval." Diaval bowed to Aurora, and Maleficent turned him back into his human form. Aurora jumped a little but quickly shook it off and smiled at him. That's when Diaval spoke. "Hello, Aurora. I have known you since you were a little one." He grabbed her hand, gave a little bow, and kissed her on top of her hand. After he took a few steps back, you felt a little bit jealous but quickly shook it off. That's when Aurora came over excitedly and said, "It's everything I imagined it would be. It's just so beautiful. I've always wanted to come..." She was cut off short by Maleficent, who made her sleep and float again. She couldn't handle her excitement. She walked away with your sister, and you stayed behind with Diaval. Then you said to him, "How are you doing, Diaval, on this fine night?"

Well, after that incident with the guards, I am doing much better. Since you are here with me, he said while gently taking your right hand and placing a kiss on top.

You blushed slightly at his gesture. You suspected that he had noticed your jealousy when he had done the same with Aurora. As the two of you walked through the moors, you couldn’t help but tell him, "For your information, you looked absolutely stunning as the wolf, you know."

Diaval had a tiny blush on his face when you said that he couldn't get words to form, so he asked, "How are you faring with your last days?"

"I must say, I'm overall a little sad, but I can't do anything about it. Sadly enough, I just have to look on the bright side of it."
