Once upon a time, long, long ago... well, more like 20 years ago... Belle married her Beast in front of 6,000 of their closest personal friends. Big cake.

Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon.

Hey, I'm telling this story.

That's nice, but it's not just your story.

Uggh. Fine.

Good as I was saying, The Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected king of the United States of Auradon.

He rounded up all the villains and sidekicks... basically all the really interesting people... and he booted them off to the Isle of the lost with a magical barrier to keep them there. This is my hood. No magic. No wifi. No way out. Or so we I thought.

Hang on, you're about to meet us. But first, this happened.

Auradon, Beast Castle

"Sleeve. Head. Ah-Ah!" A tailor says as he tailored the suit of the soon to be new King of Auradon.

The Beast and Belle walk in. "How is it possible that you're gonna be crowned king next month? You're just a baby!"

"He's turning 16, dear." Belle reminds him.

"Hey, pops." Ben greets his father.

"16?" Adam asks eyes widen in faux shock. "That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42."

Belle scoffs. "Uh, you decided to marry me at 28."

"Ah, it was either you or a teapot." Adam jokes causing Ben to laugh. "Kidding." Belle rolls her eyes at her husband.

"Mom, Dad..." Ben starts as he steps of the stool.

"Ah! Nn-nnh!" the tailor moans as he stops his movements.

"I've chosen my first official proclamation," Ben announces and the king and Belle share a glance filled with pride. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon." Belle drops the coat she was holding in shock while the king stared frozenly at his son. "Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned."

King Adam points at the window where there was a perfect view of the Isle. "The children of our sworn enemies, living among us?"

Ben smiles. "We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most," Ben explains to his parents. "I've already chosen them."

"Have you?" the king asks bitterly wiping the smile off of Ben's face.

Belle places a calm hand on her husband. "I gave you a second chance." she turns to her son. "Who are their parents?"

Ben squared his shoulder and held his chin up. "Cruella De Vil... Jafar... Evil Queen... and Maleficent..." Ben was cut off by the tailor letting out a fearful gasp.

"Maleficent!" King Adam bellows in shock. "She is the worst villain in the land!"

"Dad I haven't finished. I have one more." Ben told his parents anxiously. If the reacted this way to Maleficent, his last one might just send them to cardiac arrest.

"And who is that," Belle asks him nervously.

Ben takes a deep breath. "Shan Yu."

Belle gasps as he fearfully holds on to the king. "Forget Maleficent, you can't bring the child of the warmonger here!" Adam yells.
