Uma enters the Fairy Godmother's office

Uma enters the Fairy Godmother's office. "Mmm. Ooh. I've been to the principal's office before, but never like this."

"I made us tea." said the Fairy Godmother, guiding her over to the couch.

"Mmm."

"Sit, please."

Uma exclaims while sitting down on the couch.

"Oh, it's not an easy job, Uma. But I hope you find it fulfilling." She pours the tea into the tea cups.

"Hmm. I've run a crew of cut-throats since I was sixteen. I think I can handle a few prep school kids. Pirates!"

The pirates entered the room, chattering indistinctly.

"You just enjoy retirement."

"I'm not retiring. I..." Fairy Godmother noticed the pirate flag being hung up in the office. "Are you sure you wanna put that up here?"

"Arrr!" said the pirate.

"I've been chosen as the new president of Auradon University, and to ensure a seamless transition, I have prepared a list, color-coded by priority." She gets the list off her desk and gives it to Uma.

She mumbles while looking at the list. "My first order of business will be making sure kids from all the kingdoms are welcome to attend AP."

"Oh, well, that's already our school policy."

"I said "all." Even Wonderland."

"Wonderland?" Fairy Godmother chuckles. "No."

Uma nods her head.

"Oh, no. Wonderland is hostile."

"I've heard. Their queen's a tyrant."

"The Queen of Hearts refused to join Auradon when we united. She raised an army and we had to wall off the rabbit hole."

Uma gave out directions for her pirates about what stuff goes where in the office.

"Oh, dear. If only Queen Miranda and King Ben were here."

"Well, too bad they're not. And why do you think Miranda put me in charge if she didn't wanna shake things up around here?"

The Fairy Godmother gives her a look.

Uma chuckles. "No offense, Fairy G, but you don't know Miranda and Ben like I do. I used to hate Miranda. I'm sure you've heard, but you know what happened?"

She looks at a picture of Ben and Miranda.

"We reconciled. We saw the goodness in each other. When she and Ben finally opened the Isle, they gave all villains a second chance. It's time Wonderland got one too. This is for Princess Red and Princess Claudia." She gives her the letter.

"Are you sure?" said the Fairy Godmother, asking her.

Uma gets teary-eyed while looking at Carlos' picture. "It's what Carlos would have wanted. So don't do it for me. Do it in honor of him."

"Mmm."

"Hey." Uma gets her crew's attention and they gather around the room.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo." The letter gets sent off to Wonderland.

Uma shares a look with the Fairy Godmother.

That's right. Auradon may have brought down the barrier, but they still left two VKs behind.

Not on my watch.

So, I'm sending an invite...

The Queen of Hearts' picture cackles evilly.

...to the kingdom no one dares to talk about.

The one that lurks right below the surface.

Wonderland, a dark world of mystery and magic.

And its ruler, the Queen of Hearts, well, she's got a reputation for being downright ruthless.

"Subjects of Wonderland, you have one minute to comply with Her Royal Majesty's curfew, or else..." said the male minister.

People made their way into their homes.

Or else, it's off with your head.

There's only one person who dares to resist the Queen's orders.

And that's her very own daughter, Princess Red.
