The next Hugo is awakened by Red who is telling him to get ready for another court case.

"Another one? Is it because of last night." Hugo asks.

"Obviously dummy." Red comments as the duo enter the castle courtyard.

"His royal highness Prince Hugo and her royal highness Princess Red." The guards lead the two to crime scene where things are broken, the soldiers are kneeling for their mom.

"Oh! I see one you of you couldn't be bothered to dress for court." The Queen of hearts said, referring to Red.

Red walks towards the soldiers and Jack of diamonds while Hugo stands by his mother, if that's what you can even call her.

"I find that outfit....offensive." Hugo actually disagreed with the Queen of hearts on that one, he didn't love the outfit but liked the fact that his sister dresses how she wants.

"I wish being me didn't offend you." Red says, Hugo gives her a small smile while the duo's mother looked away letting out a sigh.

"Sorry to rouse you out of bed before noon, but while you were sleeping the royal plaza was vandalised." Red nods her head not showing a care in the world, while Hugo had to bite his lip to keep back a smile.

"And this sorry excuse for a solider failed to protect my portrait. So the question is, what do we do?" The Queen of hearts explains giving Hugo a look.

"Poke thorns in his eyes?" Hugo hated the idea of punishment towards citizens like this, it wasn't fair towards them.

"Off with his head?" The Queen of hearts says with a tone of you better say the right answer, while starting to play around with her cards.

"Since your brother has made the last choice of punishment, I'll let you decide." Hugo eyes slightly widen, Red may act strong on the outside but he knew on the inside that she was scared.

Red and Jack of diamonds make eye contact for a few seconds, before Red looks at Hugo, who mouths 'I'm sorry.'

"It's up to me?" Red attempts to stall, trying to build up the confidence to say what her mother wanted her to do. The Queen of hearts hums in reply, hoping that her daughter wouldn't make a fool of her legacy.

"Okay. Well, in that case...off with his...hat." Red chuckles taking Jack's hat off placing it on her head, Hugo gives his sister a sympathy smile.

"Ugh! Compared to Hugo you're such a disappointment. You know, I was the same way at your age." The Queen picks up a rose from one of broken vases before walking to face Red once again.

"Desperately wanting to be a queen that everyone would adore. But if I've learned anything, it's this. It's better to be feared than loved, love ain't it." Hugo rolls his eyes, sometimes he's convinced that his own mother is a robot because at this point he's ever heard her say is that and off with their head.

"Now try again." The Queen of hearts says sternly giving Red a death glare.

Red turns around and Jack of diamonds breathes out not ready to face his punishment of death.

"For you crime, you are sentenced to..." Red turns around facing her mother and brother.

"Get it right or I'll show you punishment!" The Queen of hearts shouts at Red and Hugo looks down, he couldn't afford to loose his sister, not after what he saw his mother do to his dad.

"I beg your pardon!" Maddox shouts running into the court area, Hugo and Red exchange a small smile as Hugo joins Red's side.

"Apologies for interrupting court, your majesty." Maddox takes off his hat bowing down to not only the Queen but who he would count as his younger siblings.

"Royal delivery." Maddox pulls out to what appears to be a letter but something was odd about this letter.

The letter:
Dear Queen of hearts, empress of Wonderland. As the new principal of auradon prep, it is my honour to invite your heirs, Prince Hugo and Princess Red of wonderland, to attend our school. I hope you'll join us for the welcome day ceremony. If you accept this invitation shall serve as your key.
End off letter

"From pirate principal. Another villian's gone soft." The Queen of hearts mutters under her breath.

"Maybe you have a future after all." Maddox turns to heart siblings, making the duo look at him.

"If both if you got to auradon prep, you get to leave wonderland." Red and Hugo smile at Maddox's word's.

"It dosen't matter. The only thing she hates more than auradon is the idea of us having our own life's, especially me. So, I'm convinced Red will get a yes and I'll be stuck here, with a mother trying to force me to be like her." Hugo explains to Maddox and then as on que the Queen turns around, facing her children and their tutor.

"We accept!" The Queen of hearts says, with a voice that neither of her children have heard before. Was that excitement?

"Wait, hold on. Really?" Red asks, since Hugo was to be fair to stunned to speak.

"Mmm-hmm." The letter ticks the acceptance box before closing up and flying away.

"But you've always said that auradon is the worst." Red is trying to make something bad out of something good, well atleast in Hugo's eyes.

"Well, with my daughter and son there, it might not always be." The Queen of hearts states before walking away.

"You're going to let both of us go? You?" Hugo finally speaks up.

"Pack your bags." The Queen sits back on her chair, letting the soldiers carry her away.

"Am I hallucinating or did our mom just grow a heart?" Red asks the two boys, Hugo hums in response.

"And put on something more respectable, Red. Hugo change out of that but put on something similar to it. Neither of you embrass me." Theor mom calls back.

"No she only grew half a heart." Hugo says and Red nods her head, both of the siblings smiling.

" Hugo says and Red nods her head, both of the siblings smiling

Notes: Get ready to meet Berkleigh will be here in the chapter.

Thanks so much for reading this story and I hope you are enjoying it, so far.

I am going to say this right now so no one is confused later, I will be changing up bits of the flim and maybe adding in songs. If you have read the character introduction, you can probably guess one of the changes I have made.

The time Berkleigh, Chloe, Hugo and Red spend in the past will be dragged on a little longer.

I hope you have a wonderful morning, afternoon or evening, Caitlyn💗.
