"Granny!" Dizzy shouted, spotting Lady Tremaine crossing the bridge. She hurried over and embraced her grandmother tightly. Celia dashed to her father, enveloping him in a heartfelt hug, while the twins sprinted to Smee, their faces alight with excitement.

"Hey, Carlos," Jane called, catching up with him. Her eyes were wide with a mix of excitement and anxiety. "I'm actually really nervous to meet your mom," she admitted, squeezing his hands.

Dude, who had joined the group, chimed in with a dramatic flair. "Nervous? His mom is Cruella de Vil! I'm petrified!" he exclaimed.

Carlos laughed, his grin widening. "Wait 'til she hears I wanna be a vet," he said, glancing around for his mother.

"What do you say you and me go exploring? I'm thinking a gap year," Jay proposed to Gil with a sparkle in his eye.

"Jungles or icebergs?" Jay asked, his curiosity piqued.

Gil's eyes lit up with excitement. "Both?" he suggested eagerly.

Jay chuckled, giving Gil a playful chest bump. "Yeah. Chest bump!"

"Hey! Wooh!" Uma called out, twirling on the dance floor with Evie, while Harry and Mal joined in the fun. Uma grinned, her happiness radiating.

"Go, girl," Uma cheered, flashing a bright smile at Evie, who nodded approvingly at Elina.

"You know what?" Uma said softly, her gaze fixed on Elina. "Elina is going to be a perfect queen. Strong, confident, and just the right kind of justice."

"She always was," Evie added, her voice filled with warmth. Harry leaned forward with a playful smirk.

"Well, my sister is almost as perfect as I am," Harry teased. "You two made a great catch with me."

Mal and Uma exchanged amused glances and laughed. "I would have rather had Elina, but well..." Mal joked.

Uma nodded in agreement. "Yeah, well, we can still call Blanc when he does something wrong," she said, grinning mischievously.

Harry's eyes widened in mock horror. "What, no!" he protested, but Uma and Mal leaned in, each planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Just kidding," Mal said, laughing.

"Maybe," Uma added with a wink, her tone full of playful mischief.

Out of nowhere, Hades appeared behind Mal, his presence commanding attention. "Am I invited to the wedding?" he asked with a grin.

"Hi, Dad," Mal called out, her face lighting up. She leaped into his arms, and Hades hugged her back, his smile softening with fatherly pride.

"Welcome to Auradon. I'll show you around," Mal said, motioning to him. Hades's gaze shifted to Uma and Harry, a stern look crossing his face. Hades chuckled softly to himself, recalling the time he babysat the trio with James and Morgie—one memorable incident involving Harry and peeing on Hades

As he turned to greet his friends, Blanc emerged with Morgie and James. Blanc approached Hades first, then embraced Mal and Uma. "If you ever need someone to put Harry back in his place, just call me," Blanc said with a playful wink.

Harry rolled his eyes, sighing. "Mom!"

James and Morgie gave their son high-fives, their pride evident. "Good job, son. We're proud of you," they said in unison.

"Thanks," Harry replied, his grin broadening.

Morgie stepped closer, placing her hand over Harry's. "We're proud of the man you've become, Harry. We've always believed in you, even when you didn't believe in yourself."
