Chapter Sixteen: Long Live Evil
(part four)

     Dude sprinted to Carlos's side, "Hey Dude!" Carlos crouched down, "Sorry we haven't gotten a chance to play fetch! Things have been....... hectic." Dude growls. "W-what's going on!? Dude, calm down. Do you smell squirrel on me!?" Dude starts barking loudly, then snags Carlos's pants and bites him. Carlos wails in pain, "AAURGH!" Dude lets go, now that he completed his mission, the spell was lifted. "I hate you!" cries Carlos. Dude hangs his head, whining and walks to Carlos, but he jumps back, "No! Stay away!..... You really are vicious!" and with that, Carlos runs off, leaving Dude sulking and wondering what he did wrong.

     Carlos runs back to the castle, he was hoping to find Jane. Ever since the coronation they've been getting closer. "Jane?! .... Jane?!" a finger gently tapped his shoulder, "Yes?" Jane beamed. Carlos smiled back, "I just had a strange encounter with Dude... he's never acted that way before. I don't understand what's going on!" Jane nods sadly, "I know... Nothing's been then same lately, but I know that things will go back to normal!" Carlos shrugs, "I don't think they will..." Jane places her hand on his shoulder, "It'll be alright... I know that the villains kinda messed things up, but we can fix this!" Carlos jolts his head up, "The villains! Of course! Uma must've cast a spell on Dude to make me turn evil again! That was their plan all along! Now I understand!" Carlos began to jog away. "Where are you going!?" Jane called. Carlos ran backwards, "I've gotta go find Dude!"

     Mal gulped, "It all started when I wanted to save my boyfriend, his soul was stolen by the villain kids so to save him I sacrificed my own. Then I turned evil and my mom wants to wipe you out, so see made this potion..." she held up the vile "...to, um, t-to kill you. And my heart and my mind are fighting, and I don't know what to do, because I can't help myself and-" Ben interrupted her with a kiss. True...loves...kiss! The shell inside Ben's backpack glowed and ejected a white steam of smoke into Mal. She flinched, "I... I-I'm back!" she kissed Ben again, it was now their second kiss. "There's something that I never got to do."

     Ben bent down on one knee, and opened a small box, revealing a golden ring with a 4 caret diamond. "Mal Bertha... Will you marry me?" Mal held her mouth to try to stop from crying, "Yes! Yes Benjamin Florian, I will marry you!" Ben smiled and slid the ring on Mal's finger. "So when?" Mal asked. "Well, it would probably be best if we waited until we got the kingdom back together!"

     Khristopher helped Hannah to her feet, "I don't want to run away anymore." Hannah nodded, "Me either. We need to stop the villains. And maybe lock this cellar..." Khristopher chuckles, "Okay, we'll have my aunt help us with the cellar, but for now, let's just find your friends." Hannah took Khris's hand, "I think I know where they are." They left the underground and went to Hannah and Uma's dorm. "Stay here" Hannah instructed, Khris obeyed.

     Hannah opened the door. "Where have you been!?" Uma exclaimed. "Long story... but for now, I need to talk to you." Hannah replied. "What!?" Uma crosses her arms. "Deep down inside you I know you want to be good." Uma's face goes white, "N-No! No I don't!" Hannah shakes her head, "Stop denying it, Uma... There's nothing wrong with it. We need to make our own decisions, not our parents!" Uma sighs, "I know... Let's go find the others, and then we can figure out what to do then..." Hannah smiled, and hugged her friend, "I believe in you, Uma." she whispered.

     Uma and Hannah left their dorm, "What's your boyfriend doing here?" Uma teased. "He's here to help." Hannah replied. "Okay..." Uma said, as they walked to Francis and Ashton's room. Uma knocked, "One second!" says Francis behind the closed door." his heavy footsteps stomped up to the door. "Uma? Hannah?!... Who are you?" Francis exclaimes. "I'm Khristopher, and I'm-" "No time for introduction!" Uma interrupted "Francis is Ashton here..." she pushes the door open, Audrey's sitting on a chair inside. "What is she doing here!?" Francis blushes, "She's my girlfriend again..." Uma smacks her forehead, "Are you for real?" Francis nods slowly. "Ahem... Okay. How can I say this nicely? She's playing you!" Francis shakes his head like Uma's crazy, "What are you talking about?"

     Uma sighs and looks at Audrey, "There's no need to play him, we'll fix the kingdom." Audrey puts a hand on her heart, "That's great! And the truth is... I was playing you Francis." Francis sits down on his bed, heartbroken, "I-I can't believe this... can't believe you!" Audrey quickly takes a seat next to him, "But being with you for the past couple hours, seeing how much you've changed. Although your a villain's kid, you don't act like you used to. Sure, you make mistakes, but so does everyone else..." Francis stares into her eyes, "So what are you saying?" Audrey smiles, "I.. I'd like to be your girlfriend for real, but first you have to forgive me and promise you'll help restore the kingdom!" Francis was speechless. After a long pause Vanessa groans, "He says yes! Now enough of this mushy stuff and let's go!" Audrey nods, "I have to find my friends, and you have to find Ashton. Let's meet at the big tree!" Everyone nods and got to work, ready to save Auradon.

     Belle and Beast had been waiting for 20 minutes when Ben finally returned... With Mal! "So I'm guessing that you found the shell?" Beast asked sarcastically. Ben nodded, "Yes, and the best part is that I didn't have to go to the Aieadim Volcano!" (that's the volcano of the U.S. of Auradon) Belle sighed of relief, "You had us worried!" she spotted the ring on Mal's finger, "Oh! You proposed! I'm so happy for you!" She reached for Mal's hand, "You will be the queen Auradon needs." Mal wiped under her eye, "Thank you. And you guys will be the parents I never had!" she group hugged Beast, Belle, and her fiancé. Then they heard a voice from behind. "Oh, well that's not a very nice thing to say to your mother!"
