Timeless Bonds

The Coup

Fairy Godmother took the stage, her smile radiating warmth as she addressed the crowd.

"Attention, please. Parents and students, it has been a great privilege to serve you. But now, it's time for another to take my place. Please join me in welcoming Auradon Prep's new principal."

The audience turned their attention to Uma, who made a grand entrance with her pirate crew. They performed an energetic routine, showcasing Uma's dynamic leadership style. Red watched with clear excitement, but Blanc's eyes were on the Queen of Hearts, who appeared increasingly displeased and bored.

Blanc kept a close watch on the Queen, knowing she needed to stay vigilant. The Queen's irritation was palpable, and Blanc was ready to step in if necessary. As the performance ended and the crowd applauded, Blanc stayed alert, hoping for a smooth transition despite the tension.

Everyone claps, even Red.

"That's Principal Uma to you." Uma jokes while the pirates leave the stage and looks into the crowd. "And you better get it straight, or you'll be walking the plank."

"She's just kidding." The Fairy Godmother reassures standing behind Uma. "She's kidding." She mumbles.

"Now, I never got the chance to go to Auradon Prep. But as its captain, I'm proud to be charting a new course into a bright future, beyond the old ways of heroes and villains. So, in that spirit I'd like to welcome Princess Red of Wonderland." She smiles kindly at Red who smiles back.

Meanwhile The Queen of Hearts looked bored and ignored the whole interaction. Rather she plays with her cards. Blanc, who was watching her skeptically, squinted her eyes at her while watching her closely. It's not like she doesn't trust her aunt... oh wait she doesn't. Only a fool would trust the Queen of Hearts even if she was related to her no one is safe. Probably not even her own daughter.

"Excuse me." Uma who was watching her too interrupted her. "Hi. Do you mind?" She asks her kindly.

"I do, actually." She answered and stood up now openly playing with her cards. "Hmm."
