As me and the girls ran outside, I immediately jump into Jim's arms. He even spun me around and told me that he's okay. After the hug, we both look at each other. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said-", we both said at the exact same time. And at the same time, Morph came out to lick his face. Jim laughed and petted the little shape shifter. I then let out a giggle and looked at him again. "We'll talk later. I promise.", I said. After giving him another hug, I saw everyone hugging each other. "I always thought that you would be part of the solution.", Ben told Uma. I then went over to give him a hug, but that was until I noticed his face looked different. Turns out that he had a beard and fangs, just like his father had when he was a beast; and Mal was into it (besides the fangs). I even saw Gears going over to B.E.N, and he picked her up and spun her around. "I'm never leaving your side again...", he told Gears. After everyone finished up the little reunion we had, Mal told Ben what we knew so far. "We think that Audrey's at the Fairies Cottage. Has she ever taken you there?", Mal asked Ben. "Every Fairy Godmother's Day. Where is Fairy Godmother when you need her?", Ben said. "I wish I knew.", Jane told him. I completely forgot that she was here; I just wanted to know how she didn't get cursed by the sleeping spell. I was about to ask her, but that was until Carlos gave her the present from him. And inside the tiny box was a necklace that said Jarlos, and she loved it. I thought of that as so sweet and romantic, but I knew for a fact that this was no time for that. "Okay, here's the plan: Someone has to go find Fairy Godmother, while the others go find Audrey.", I explained to everyone. Doug insisted on finding Fairy Godmother, but Uma made a joke saying that he might need someone with muscles. Gil then volunteered, but everyone was starting to comment a bit. "There's no time! Gil, you go with Jane and Doug, and find Fairy Godmother. Just be careful with what magic Audrey might throw at you.", I said as Gil heard me loud and clear. Afterwards, he left with Doug and Jane, and the rest of us left to go find the Fairies Cottage. Hopefully Audrey won't be THAT evil on us.

At the Fairies Cottage

After going inside, we all looked around for Audrey. Jay went to check upstairs, while the rest of us checked downstairs. "She's not upstairs.", Jay told us while coming down. I even called Audrey's name, but there was no answer. However, there was a sound coming from the closest. Ben and I opened up the locked door and couldn't believe what was inside. "Chad?!", we both said. Chad looked up at the both of us, and he looked so terrified in the face. That and he was in fetal position. "I want my mommy...", he told us. Me and Ben helped him up, and he just looked at us in shock. "How long has Audrey kept him in there?", I said in my mind. Chad then looked at everyone in the room, and he smiled so happily. "She's gone... I'm free! I'M FREE! MOM!", he shouted while running out the door immediately. Harry then laughed and closed the closest door. "Hahaha!!! That's your cousin?", he asked me. I tried so hard not to laugh, so I just talked in a really embarrassed voice. "Yes...", I said while walking out the door with him. After walking back outside, we all decided to go back and check the school again. "Let's get this Audrey chick taken care of? What do you say, girl? You ready to leave all those things back in the past?", Uma said to Mal. The two of them then fist pumped, and I smiled at how they acted right now. "Looks like I have a few more people to attend the wedding now.", I told myself. "You know, someday, you guys have to tell me how you all teamed up.", Ben said as everyone smiled. "Actually, Mal and Genesis promised to let all the kids off the Isle when this is over.", Evie told Ben. I then smiled at Uma and Harry as they both did the same thing to me. As we all continued to walk, Mal stopped for a second to say something. "I have to tell you guys somethings. I lied to you. The kids won't be coming off the Isle.", she told us. We all stood quietly and got confused. I was mostly confused on what she just said. "What do you mean?", Jay asked. "The program is shut down. And the barrier will be closed for good.", Mal explained again. "For Auradon's safety.", Ben added in. I went into full shock after hearing this. I didn't even know about this. I took a look at Uma and Harry, and they were not happy. "Hold up! So we're saving your precious people, and your behinds for a lie? I knew it was a mistake to trust you. You're always out for yourself.", Uma said to Mal. Harry then walked up to Ben, and he was more upset than angry. "And you! King Ben, eh? You're probably just going to throw us all back inside...", he said. I then saw Celia going up to Mal, and she was crying. "You know what? I actually thought you were brave. But you're nothing but a chicken! Who was going to tell me that I was never going to see my dad again!", she told off Mal. And just like that, she took the ember out of Mal's hand and threw it into a near by fountain that still had water in it. Mal screamed, and Celia kept on walking. "Celia!", I called. "Regain your mind and ignite!", Mal said to the ember. She even looked at Uma for help, but Uma refused. "Bummer! Let's go find Gil and give them all a ride.", Uma told Harry. I immediately bursted into tears after seeing what just happened. "Let's go, Gears!", Harry called. I then turned to Gears, and she walked away from B.E.N without saying anything. She then walked up to Mal and gave her an angry look. "I hope you're happy with yourself...", she said to Mal. Afterwards, she continued to walk. "Gears! Please! Come back...", B.E.N said as his tone became low. I was still crying after what just happened. Not just because everyone left. But because Mal lied to us all. I walked up to her, and so did Evie. She was mostly upset with her than I was. "Genesis... Evie... I'm so sorry... I was afraid to tell you both. I thought I was going to loose my best friends. But, I had to do something. I had to protect Auradon.", Mal explained herself. However, me and Evie were not happy at all. "It's one thing to lie for good. But when you lie to a bunch of your friends, you're basically just treating them like they're too stupid to even find out themselves. Is that what you thought of us all this time?.....", I asked Mal in an angry tone. However, my tone was with a mixture of sadness and tears. "No, I-", Mal told me until Evie cut her off. "Closing the barrier was your idea?", she asked Mal. "I did it for us. I did it for our life that we have here now.", Mal told her. "For our life?! What about the kids that we left behind on that island? The kids that WE promised! We were their only hope... I thought that you were going to stand up for the Vks. But instead you lied to them. And you lied to Jay... And you lied to Carlos... You lied to me!... We're your family!...", Evie said to Mal between tears. After she finished talking, it was my turn. "You know what's even worse than lying to them? Is that you lied to ALL of the Isle! And you decided to go along with it as well!", I said while adding Ben into this. He then looked down, and I turned my attention back to Mal. "Mal, I've always been there for you since day one.... I promised to help you and the others here in Auradon.... But how do you expect me to trust you now?.... You know what? Maybe everyone is wrong about you: You don't deserve to be queen...", I told her. Afterwards, I walked back up to Jim. "Genesis! Evie! Come on! I HAD NO CHOICE!", Mal shouted. And as she did, everything turned black for me and for the others as well.
