As the girl blasted the wand into the air, a streak of light and magic left the magical stick.

"Jane!" I screamed as she held the wand.

"Child what are you doing!?" Fairy Godmother screeched in worry as her daughter couldn't control the wand.

"If you won't make me beautiful, i'll do it myself!" Jane argued.

Ben ran down from the stage and stood in front of Mal. Matt took my arm and pulled me back and into his side.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Jane tried to use the wands power but was unable to control it. She spun around unwillingly.

"Take cover," Beast ordered the guests. Most guests cowered away, but Mal rushed up to Jane, taking the wand from her hands.

"Careful, Mal!" Belle shouted.

Mal pulled it free from Jane's grip.

"Mal, give me the wand." Ben looked scared as he spoke, scared of the girl he loved.

"Stand back." Mal ordered.

I took my place next to Ben, undoing Mattheo arm from mine.

"It's okay," Ben tried to sooth her.

"Ben, I said stand back!" Mal shouted. As she spoke, Mattheo joined her.

"Mal, you don't want to do this," I cooed. "Matt tell her she doesn't have to do this,"

"Ryder.." he trailed off.

"Oh." i said.

"I told you so!" Audrey added from the side.

The other three VKs joined the two in front of us.

"Let's go!" Carlos said, in an urgent tone.

"Revenge time," Jay added.

"Revenge?" I asked. I looked at Mattheo. "Are you really going to do this?"

"We don't have a choice! Our parents.." Matt started.

"Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours." Ben joined.

The five paused. Seemingly thinking over what Ben had just said. Mal looked around, so did the rest of the VKs, they looked at the life they could have here in Auradon.

"I think I want to be good," Mal said.

"You are good, you all are," Ben told her.

"How do you know that?" Mal raised her voice, the tears welling in her eyes.

"Because...Because i'm listening to my heart," Ben told Mal.

"I want to listen to my heart, too," Mal told us. She turned to the four VKs around her, "And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents,"

"Stealing things doesn't make you happy," Mal looked at Jay, "Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy," she laughed and Jay smiled at the thought.

"and, Carlos, scratching Dude's belly makes you happy. Who would've thought?" She giggled at the irony of the boy who was terrified of dogs now loving one.

"And Matt being bad doesn't make you happy, being with Ryder does, i've never seen you smile before you met her" she turned from the curly haired boy to the blue haired girl. "And Evie, you do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart." She sniffled as she began to cry.

"And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school. And be with Ben."

At her words I jabbed his side, "She likes you," i mouthed, but he just shook his head at me. Not the time, i guess.

"Because Ben makes me really happy." She turned and looked at him, flashing his ring on her finger.

She turned back to the VKs, "Us being friends make me really happy, not destroying things. I choose good, you guys." she looked around at the four.

"I choose good, too," Jay put his hand with Mal's.

"I choose good," Evie joined them, sparing a quick glance at Doug.

"You already know i choose good," Matt rolled his eyes and put his fist in.

"So, just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be?" Carlos asked. "Because they're going to be really, really mad."

"Your parents can't reach you here," I reassured.

"Okay, then. Good." he put his hand in with the others.

Mal looked back at Ben and I, "Come on."

I had my spot by Matt and Ben, and we put our fists in the pile. "I know we don't have to say it but we choose good too, you guys." I joked.

A loud swooshing sound came with a green fog that swirled around the interior of the building. Maleficent landed in front of our group of seven.

"I'm back!" Maleficent sang.

"Go away, Mother." Mal sounded tired of her mother, like this was a usual thing.

"She's funny," Maleficent laughed. "Oh. I'm so...You're very funny dear. Wand me. Chop-chop." she ordered Mal.

"No!" Ben shouted from besides his mother. Mal threw the wand to Fairy Godmother. She started a spell but Maleficent interrupted. She had frozen everyone. We had our senses we just couldn't move. I knew it was a long shot but i had to try.
