Mal looks at the statues of her friends, guilt and pain flooding her heart. As she sombrely walks around them, she begins to sing softly to herself.

Mal:

Here you are alone, and you deserve it

Your friends have turned to stone

And that's on you

You had a cause to serve, but did you serve it?

Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?

Why tell all those lies? You feel unworthy

Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand

But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation

You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand

This is not your father's fairytale

And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail

So when your story comes to light

Make sure the story that they write, goes

Once upon a time, she fought a dragon

Once upon a time, that beast was me

Once upon a misspent youth

She faced herself, she spoke the truth

That's how I see my once upon a time

This time

She catches up to Uma and Harry and attempts to convince Uma to help save Auradon. Uma can see the desperation in her eyes, but decides that Mal doesn't deserve to be helped to and walks away. She looks around to find y/n, but sees no trace of her friend anywhere. Assuming she walked too far away from the group, Mal continues singing.

Mal:

Life is not a storybook, but life unfolds in chapters

Turn the page and start to make amends

There's no pre-written guarantee

Of happily ever after

Step into your greatness

Before your story ends!

So when your story ends

They'll say

Once upon a time, a girl flew higher

Once upon a time, she made things right

Once upon a tie that binds

She changed her heart to change their minds

That's got to be

My once upon a time

This once upon a time

I'll finally see my once upon a time

This time

Meanwhile, as Mal is singing, y/n continues walking until she suddenly stops in her tracks, thinking of Carlos. Thinking of how she just left him and took off. She feels a pang of guilt hit her, and she turns around to go back to him. That is, until she hears a very familiar voice.

"Y/n! Help, please!" Y/n instantly snaps her head to the sound of the voice, and sees Audrey tightly grasping Celia with one hand and Maleficent's sceptre in the other.

"Celia!" y/n exclaims, and runs to help her, but Audrey points the sceptre at y/n threateningly.

"Don't even think about trying to save her!" she shouts.
