Red pov:
After the weekends of awkward avoidance and rumors going around. Monday finally got here. I was getting ready for the speech since apparently I'm one of the only ones out of the loop about my mom being a "big deal." How was I supposed to know that! I'm getting more nervous, but Chloe said she'll be beside the whole time. If it means these rumors stop about me hating my mom and being a bad person, I guess I might as well tell my side. We nervously ate in silence alone, just me and Chloe. Soon, the intercom rung.
Uma: mandatory assembly for all in the theater room. Mandatory assembly for all in the theater room.
So all the students were headed there. I saw 2 seats at the front reserved for me and Chloe. I was so nervous. What if we end up looking like fools? What if this doesn't work, and I'm labeled til I graduate. I start to breathe heavily. I felt Chloe's hand holding me as she rubbed her thumb on the back of my hand.
Chloe: deep breaths, we got this. This will work Red.
Red: What if this doesn't? What, then?
Chloe: In sure, Uma had a way to fix this issue. I trust that she's knows what she's doing.
Red: I believe you, Chloe.
I try to smile, but she knows I'm faking it. After all the students have settled. We see Mal, Evie, and Uma on stage.
Uma steps in front of the mic. Clearing her throat.
Uma: Thank you for joining us today for this important assembly. We have a few things to discuss about the commotion that's been circling around the past few days. As you know, I was once a villain kid or VK for short. Mal and Evie are the same. All 3 of us grew up on the Isle of the Lost til we were about teenagers like you. Growing up was rough, but we managed to save Auradon and united the Isle of the Lost to Auradon 5 years ago. I can't thank Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos enough for their bravery, effort, and strength. They were the first Vks to come and helped many others live the same life you all are. Qith said, "I'll get Mal to take over."
Mal goes to the mic. She smiles at us before starting her speech.
Mal: Thank you, Uma, for that great speech. As you know, I went from being a Vk, the daughter of maleficent to now being queen after marrying Ben. But there's someone here who grew up as Vk and princess.
The crowd started to wonder who it was. The whoek theater was looking at each other trying to figure out who it was.
Mal: Let's please stop the whispers. Thank you...
The crowd stops and continues to listen to Mal.
Mal: As I was saying... She grew up as both VK and princess. I have never met anyone else who owns that title. So when I come back only to hear bad rumors about someone who you barely know, I don't tolerate that. I won't tolerate the rumors. I know her story, but I think she needs to tell it herself. Please come up here Princess Red and Princess Chloe.
I held Chloes hand tightly as we made it up to the stage. I can see everyone looking at us. Before we started, Evie came up to the mic.
Evie: All questions and comments will be left for the end, so please be respectful during their speech. Thank you.
Both Chloe and I had out their own mic.
Red: Hi, I'm Red.
Chloe: And I'm Chloe.
Both: we are time travelers.
Red: Yes, we are. It all started when Chloe and I met at orientation. We both came with our mothers.
