 Dizzy looked at Nami asleep at their kitchen table. She had been sleeping there for the past couple of nights, staying up into the early hours after working at the orphanage, sorting applications for the adults and making lists of things the Isle needed. The was the first time Dizzy had seen her still asleep; she must've finally just dropped.

"Bye, Nami." Dizzy hugged the girl but she didn't stir.

Dizzy, with Lady Tremaine, headed out the apartment to start her new life in Auradon.

"Do you have everything?" Lady Tremaine asked when they arrived to the limo.

Dizzy threw her stuff in the trunk. "Yes, Grandma."

"Everything?" Lady Tremaine held up Dizzy's glue gun. The girl grabbed it and then hugged her grandma.

"She's at our apartment. Down the street, first building, three floors up. Number twenty-three," Dizzy said to Ben who was looking around.

"I'll be right back."

Ben left the VKs at the limo and followed Dizzy's instructions to their place. It wasn't too hard to find Nami, the apartment wasn't big and she was just sleeping at the kitchen table. She didn't stir when he called her name. There was a small light flickering under the table, he didn't have to get close to see it was the ankle brace. When Ben actually approached, he could see the tips of her fingers were black as well as part of the veins showing in her hands. She had told him enough that Ben knew what it meant.

"Shit, Nami."

Ben saw the doubled up coffee cup on the counter. She must not have touched it yet. Ben took the out the first one and grabbed the small pouch of pixie dust that was hidden in the bottom cup. He placed it on the table right in front of her. He knew he had to get back. Ben placed his crown on her head.

"I've got to go, Prutia. I'll be back, I promise." Ben kissed the scar on her cheek.

As he started to walk away, Ben's fingers brushed against some papers on the table.

"Hmm?"

Ben looked at the papers. They looked like the VK Day forms but at the top was written 'Adult Rehabilitation and Relocation'. Next to the stack was a list of things for the Isle and a green book. Ben scooped up everything and headed back to the limo.

"What's that?" Evie asked when he got back.

"Nami's work. Come on let's go."

Everyone piled into the back of the limo and began to drive back to the front of the Isle.

"When we get to Auradon, you've got to try ice cream." Evie told Dizzy.

"And go swimming?"

"Of course. I can take you to the Enchanted Lake."

"I can't believe I get to live with you in your very own castle!"

"Well, it's just a little starter."

Jay struggled to drive as one of Smee's twins, Squeaky, held on to his arm for dear life.

"Ever thought about playing sports?"

While Squeaky panicked in the front, Squirmy was in the back where Carlos was showing him different candies. Celia pulled out her deck of tarot cards and turned to Ben.

"Pick a card... you're going to be a wise and brave king." Celia said holding up the card.

"He already is," Mal said looking out at the Isle.
