It's been a few months since Taylor's parents passed away. After coming back to Auradon, she had been busy both with her work for King Ben as he, Taylor and Evie had been planning to let four new vk's come to Auradon. But now that her mother was dead she also had to take care of her mother work. After Taylor took over from her mother of the Isle duties, Tinker Bell had been chosen by the other fairies and King Beast to become the leader for the fairies in Auradon. Now that she was dead Taylor had to take over that role, she now had to have meetings with other important members of Auradon. Neverland was also her responsibility as Peter Pan had never really done much, having given everything to his best friend.

Taylor's friends had seen something change in her after she'd come back from the Isle.
She'd told them of her father's decision and then left for Neverland, it had taken about two weeks before they had seen her again. Taylor had become darker both in her facial expressions and her clothes. Wearing mostly darker green clothes and having colored her hair a dirty blonde with green ends instead of her golden blonde locks.

Taylor was tired all the time, there were days when she had to travel over the whole country in one day. Having meetings with the king, then having to go to a meeting with the Blue Fairy on the other side of the country, then dinner at Ariel and Eric's castle, to then finally travel back to Neverland. Even with all her work as leader of the fairies she still prioritize the children of the Isle of the lost the most.

One day Ben had asked for Taylor, Evie, Jay, Carlos and Fairy Godmother to his office were he had told them his plan to propose to Mal. Taylor had suggested they would do it before the vk's were to leave for the Isle to get the kids as everyone would be there. The other thought it would be a good idea and started planning, Taylor would help a bit but with all her work she hadn't been able to help a lot.

Mal had asked Taylor if she wanted to join them to the Isle for vk day, as she also was, by them considered a vk but she declined. Being asked to go back too the Isle brought back the memories of one special pirate, but the energy was different she now didn't think of him as the little boy she'd helped, but now as the thieve who used her sadness to take what he wanted.

Taylor had watched from the tv as Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos had chosen the next vk's.
Dizzy granddaughter of Lady Tremaine, Celia daughter of Doctor Facilier and Squeaky and Squirmy Smee, sons of Smee. Taylor remembered holding those boys as babies and being a babysitter once or twice. She was really happy they got to come to Auredon as they were still small and could be raised in a safe environment.

The day had finally arrived and they were now just waiting on Mal and Ben, Mal had no idea of what was about to happen and Taylor was happy for her friend. " Are you sure you don't want to join us when picking up the kids? I'm sure Squeaky and Squirmy are really excited to see you. " Jay said to Taylor as they waited.
" Yeah I'm sure, I'll be seeing them when they arrive, beside I don't think they know I live in Auradon so I'll have to explain to them." Taylor told him faking a smile. Jay was about to say something as the trumpet sounded indicating that Mal and Ben had arrived.

People were cheering as the marching band played. Mal and Ben walked up to the podium and Fairy Godmother spoke into the microphone. " Bibbity-bobbity, one, two, one, two. Can everybody hear me?" " Yes!" Jane said standing with Carlos. Fairy Godmother handed the microphone to Ben, it's finally happening.

" Thank you, Fairy Godmother. What's up Auradon?!" Ben asked as the crowd gathered. " Thank you, thank you so much for coming out to welcome our new arrivals. They'll be here soon."

Taylor smiled at her friends but her honest smile disappeared as she noticed Audrey and her grandmother whispering. Audrey had been okay with Mal the first few weeks, but after she'd been on holiday, and everything had happened with Uma. Audrey was back to her old mean self, just now everyone who loved her now loves Mal and she has no one.

" It worked out pretty well for the first four." Ben continued making Taylor look back up at them. " Mal, this is the exact spot we first met not so long ago. I feel like I've known you my whole life. But did I mention, I'm in love with you." Doug brought out his guitar, just as planned.

I met this girl who rocked my world
Like it's never been rocked
And now I'm living just for her
And I won't ever stop
I never thought that It could happen to a guy like me
But now look at what you've done
You got me down on my knee

Ben sung as he got down on one knee.
" Mal, it's you and me. It's you and me forever. Will you marry me? Will you be my queen?" Ben said as he opened the box showing her the ring he had picked out. They all waited with baiting breath for Mal's answer. " Yes!" Mal said smiling from ear to ear. " Yes, Yeah!" Carlos said. As Evie and Taylor hugged, happy for their best friends.

" I knew they were perfect." Someone said behind Taylor, turning around she was met with a smiling face. " Parker? What are you doing here. I thought you and your family were traveling the world?" Taylor said hugging him. Taylor hadn't seen Parker since her mother's funeral as he, Wendy and Peter Pan left right after. Over the years many thought they were a couple but Taylor only saw Parker as a friend and she was sure he agreed with her. " I got noticed that a proposal was happening today. I thought I would come back and help with anything needed, as my parents are still traveling. You changed your hair." Parker said brushing her hair with his fingers.
" I wanted something new." She answered him as she turned to hug Mal who was standing behind her.

The car pulled up and the others got in, Taylor stood with Jane watching the tv following the limo.
