The group found their way to the Museum of Cultural History, finding Fairy Godmother frozen on the steps.

"Oh my gosh." Jane said, pushing a strand of her hair behind her ear as she walked closer to her frozen mother, stuck in stone. She held her hands. "Hi mom. I'm, I don't know if you can hear me but it's been a really crazy day. On the plus side it's been the longest birthday." Jane tilted her head. "But on the minus side everyone's under an evil spell." She paused. "But on the plus side Gigi and Carlos remembered my birthday." She held up her bracelet. "See? We're going to figure out how to undo this. We'll find a way to make this right."

"Everything's going to be fine." Crystal said, placing her hand and Jane's shoulder. "They're going to find out how to stop Audrey and we'll be alright."

"Yeah." Jane said as they sat on the steps. "What do we do until then?"

"We can try that icebreaker thing Evie was talking about." Chelsea said with a shrug.

"Yeah." Gil said cheerily. "Um Chelsea I like your cat ears. Now you go."

"Uh Gil I Uh like how you're always happy and smiling no matter what." Chelsea said. "You go Jane."

"Thanks Chelsea. Uh Crystal I like how you've always stuck by me no matter what." Jane said with a small smile.

"Doug I like how you're so smart and always figure out my problems." Crystal said. "And you've been my friend since forever."

"Thanks Crystal." Doug said. "Uh Jane I like how you are organized and always find a way to keep everyone calm."

"Thank you." Jane said with a smile as they sat in silence for a few moments. Crystal took the opportunity to think about things that had happened so far.

How she'd had a conversation with Audrey just before she went on her rampage. That she had said she was fine and had found her solution. Audrey has twisted her words and then in the darker side f them. She'd let her jumbled feelings.

"Yeah." Audrey had said. "I'll do that. But you know Crystal, it hurts that he made me feel so special and tossed me aside when he found something he thought was better. I am better. I'm the best option. There shouldn't be any other choice other than me."

Crystal had no idea how she hadn't thought much of her words when she'd come to speak with her. She wondered how it had slipped her mind. But she hadn't expected Audrey to go crazy and take on the darkest route.

"He's kinda engaged." Crystal said. "And it's a bit too late—."

"It's not too late." Audrey said. "Engagements aren't permenant. They can be broken. You know what Thanks Crystal. Now I know what to do."

That should've been a red flag for Crystal but it hadn't been.

"You do?" Crystal asked, confused on how she helped.

"Yeah!" Audrey said with a huge smile, leading Crystal out the door. "I'll see you later Crystal!"

She needed to stop thinking about Audrey that wouldn't help undo what had been done. She started thinking about her future. She'd be crowned queen of the Summerlands in less than a month now on the first of July. She didn't want to but she didn't know how she could get out of it. She didn't like that Angel had left that for her. He'd dumped his burden and placed it on her. There had to be a way out of it, she would have to look into it.

There was a flash and suddenly Fairy Godmother was back to herself

"Oh!" Fairy Godmother said as she was unfrozen.

"Mom!" Jane said, getting up from the steps and embracing her.

"Bibbity Bobbity what happened?" She asked as Jane held he hands.

"The spell's been broken." Jane assures. It's okay."

Sam sat bored out her mind inside of Evie's castle, waiting for them to break the spell and wake up the others.

After a few hours, the twins and Dizzy sat up, yawning and looking around.

"Sam!" Dizzy said, wrapping her arms around the girl."

"I'm hungry." The twins said at the same time as Dizzy nodded.

"Same." Dizzy said as they divided up the rest of the cake and began eating it. When they finished, they placed their plates into the sink, sitting with Sam on the couch. Sam looked up from her phone smiling at them. The twins sat in between her and Dizzy as they sat quietly for a bit.

"What just happened?" Dizzy asked. "I mean for a moment everything was fine and then there was pink smoke and I don't even remember falling asleep."

"Audrey, she's Sleeping Beauty's daughter. She got mad that Mal and Ben we're engaged so she stole the Queen's crown and Maleficent's staff." Sam paused. "She our all of Auradon to sleep while we were gone, and for those who escaped the sleeping, she turned them to stone."

"That's terrible." Dizzy said. "But we're awake so the spells broken."

"Terrible, very." Sam said. "They went out to get her and I was watching you. Very entertaining."

"Hey Sam?" Dizzy asked.

"Yeah Dizzy?"

"Thanks for always being there for me." Dizzy said. Sam smiled at her.

"Thanks for always being there for me." Sam said as the two giggled. Sam took Dizzy's hand and led her through the castle, the twins making it hard for Sam to walk though she was used to it.

Dizzy walked into Sam's room, sitting down in the rocking chair as Sam picked up Halo and placed him in her arms. Dizzy beamed, cooing down at him. Sam lifted Heaven, sitting down with the twins on the bed. Dizzy walked over, taking Sam's phone from her hand and taking a picture of all of them together, herself included.

"Now we'll always remember this moment." Dizzy said. "No matter how scary it was."

"I love you guys."

"We love you too Sam."

Sam's phone pinged.

"Oh that's bad." Sam said.

"What happened?" Dizzy asked.

"Audrey's slipping away." Sam said. "Let's go start your unofficial tour of Auradon Prep. Jane's giving you one next week."
