De Fragee Prutia

 Nami woke up being held by Ben.

"I thought I might never see you again." She touched his face.

"You're awake." Ben propped her up slightly.

"Where's Audrey? Did we stop her?"

"Audrey's right over there."

Nami looked over to see a sleeping Audrey. "What happened to her?"

"Maleficent's scepter. It works for those worthy, but when you start slipping it drops you into a death-like sleep. And she's slowly fading," Mal explained.

"The ember?"

"I can't do everything with it, only one person in the world can."

"Well, then let's bring Hades here."

"Hades?" Ben questioned. "He wouldn't do it. And I wouldn't risk it."

"Actually, he might do it for me," Mal said. "He's... my father."

Everyone but Celia and Evie looked surprised.

"...okay... well, I'll have to send guards to get him."

"Maybe I can hitch a ride," Uma said to Ben. "The Isle is my home. Someone needs to be there to protect you."

"Well, then, you'll need your first mate." Harry placed his hands on Uma's shoulder and kissed the back of her head.

"The Isle will be in good hands." Mal nodded to her.

"I'm coming with you."

"No, Nami," Uma said. "You belong here, with Ben. You shouldn't have to be away from him, from your home. The Isle will understand."

"Ben, where's the pixie dust jar?"

"In the room you stayed in at the palace. Near the vase."

Nami pictured the vase. Everyone watched as her fingers twitched and moments later the shadow appeared in front of Uma. It pulled the jar from its chest and placed it in Uma's hands.

"Take that with you. Don't let it get wet and I'll be able to send my shadow there."

"Can I go, too?" Celia stood up from where she was sitting. "I wish I could be in both places; but I need to be with my dad."

"Cece, tell him I said hi."

"I'm really sorry I lied to you guys. You deserve better," Mal said.

"You were just trying to do the right thing," Jay assured her. Even Uma agreed.

"Thank you for coming." Mal greeted her dad the door.

"Didn't have much choice."

"Mr. Hades. Seriously, thank you," Nami said from beside Ben.

"Oh, Prutia. You made it back." Wow, even Hades knew about that name.

"Can you wake her?" Ben asked.

"Since when do heroes care about villains?" Hades directed it at everyone in the room but Nami.

"She's..."

"One of your own? Right. When you guys try to destroy the world, it's just a mistake. When we do, it's lock them up for good."

"Hades... please." Nami pleaded.
