|Gaston|

   Today Maleficent had invited me to go and say hello to the group through a 'video chat'. I'm not one hundred percent sure what that is but I'm soon going to find out.

   I enter the castle smiling at the older villains. I watch as they fight through how to turn on the computer. "I don't see anything, nor do I hear," Maleficent says. "Is it- Is it- Is?"

   "Press enter!" Jafar says.

   "Can I please see a remote? Is this thing on? Ugh, it's broken! I hate electronic equip-" I walk over pressing a button on the computer and the screen lights up. It shows Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos and I think Fairy Godmother. "Oh, thank you Gasty!"

   "Evie, it's mommy! Oh look how beautiful. Oh, you know what they say, the poison apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Evil Queen says. I laugh lightly at her comment.

   "Don't you mean the weeds?"

   "Ooh! Who's the old bat?" Cruella says. I lightly place my hand on her shoulder whispering in her ear.

   "That's Fairy Godmother I believe. Be nice to Carlos, he's actually liking it over in Auradon."

   "This is Fairy Godmother," Mal says.

   "Still doing tricks with eggplants?" Maleficent says laughing.

   "I turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage," Fairy Godmother says.

   "You really couldn't give Cinderella till one AM? I mean, really. What, the hamsters had to be back on their little wheels?" 

   "They were mice! They were not- They were mice. They were not-" Fairy Godmother was obviously very upset.

   "Thank you so much. Thank you," Mal says as Fairy Godmother walks away from the small group of my friends.

   "They were mice!" Fairy Godmother says really close to the camera.

   "Hi, mom! Y/n," I give a small smile. 

   "Mal! I m-m-miss you!" Maleficent stutters. I look at her questioningly.

   "You children are never far from our thoughts," Jafar speaks up.

   "I got it," Mal whispers.

   "How long must mommy wait to see you?" Maleficent says.

   "Um, there's this big coronation coming up. I think sometime probably after-"

   "When?"

   "Friday, ten AM."

   "You sure I can't see you before that? I don't know what I'll do if I don't get my hands on that magic wan- you little nugget that I love so much." Maleficent had ordered Mal and my friends to retrieve the wand that was the missing piece that I didn't know about. I have to tell Ben, once I stop at the post to collect his letter I'll write to him.

   "Yes, I completely understand, mother."

   "Carlos, is that a dog? Oh, yes, yes, baby, I do understand. It would make the perfect size for earmuffs," Cruella says. I turn to her with the evil eye.

   "He's the perfect size for a pet!" Carlos tells his mother. You go Carlos!

   "Oh!"

   "This dog loves me, and I love him. And FYI, your dog is stuffed!" 

   "Oh!"

   "So give it a rest!"

   "Oh-ho! Burn," Jafar yells at Cruella.
