A / N  the picture above is what Alex's tree house looks like which is near by the beach that is surrounding the island. Look at the map of United States of Auradon if that doesn't make any sense. I apologize if this is a bad chapter but I hope you like it!

Prince Benjamin, better known as Ben, was staring out the window looking at the Isle of the Lost with a unreadable expression as Lumiere was doing the measurents for his suit for the upcoming Coronation.

" Sleeve, head." Lumiere said as Queen Belle and King Adam walked in to his chambers, Ben went to step off of the platform but stopped as Lumiere scolded him.

" How is it possible that your going to be crowned King next month? You're just a baby." Adam said. Belle looked up at him with a small smile and patted his chest. " He's turning 16 dear."

" Hey pops," Ben tried to get his attention, but that didn't work out that well considering Adam continued to not listen to him or maybe he wasn't catching on.

" 16? That's far to young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42." Adam said. Belle looked up at him  bit offended. " Uh, you didn't decide to marry me until 28." She said with a scoff.

" It was either you or the teapot." King Adam told his wife as he sent a wink to his eldest son way. He quickly said, " Kidding." after seeing the look Belle had given him.

" Mom, dad, " Ben started to say again, forgetting that he was on the stoole he went to step off when Lumiere stopped him. " Ah! " he said and Ben stayed on the platform.

" I've chosen my first proclamation as king." Ben continued saying. His parents shared a look with each other, happy and a bit shock that he had made his first decision as becoming king. " I've decided that the children of the Isle of the lost should to be given a chance to live here... in Auradon."

His parents stare at him with shock, his mother letting out a gasp, dropping  Ben's jacket she was folding onto the floor. " Every time I look out at the Island I feel like they've been abandoned. " He continued as he finally stepped off of the stool and walked to stand in front of his parents.

" The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?" his father asked in disbelief.

" We start out with a few at first, " Ben stated. " Only the ones that needs our help the most...I already chosen them."

His mom nodded along, seeming more okay with this decision than his father was. " Have you?" His father asked. You could tell that he was getting angry by the tone of his voice and you never wanted to be around him when he was angry.

Belle looked up at her husband lovingly putting a hand on his arm. " I gave you a second chance." she said before looking at Ben. " Who're there parents?"

"  Cruella De Vill, Jafar, The Evil Queen, and, " he paused before saying the last one, afraid of his parents reaction. " Maleficent." he finally said, wincing at the reactions his parents gave

Lumiere gasped hearing Maleficent's name and Adam yelled at his son. " Maleficent!? She is the worst villain in the land!"

" Dad, just hear me out. " Ben butted in, trying to get his father to see that these children aren't as bad as their parents are or at least try to get his father to listen to him.

" I won't hear of it! They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!" Adam continued to yell.

" Dad, their children are innocent. " Ben spoke softly, looking up at his father. " Dad, don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?" After a moment of silence his shoulders started to slump hating to believe that his father might not let him do this. " Dad?"
