Ronan was scrolling through his phone sitting on the couch while Ben was getting tailored for his coronation suit. The blond boy looked up to see his friend gazing at the Isle across the water out of the window.

"Something on your mind Your Majesty?" He asked Ben who just rolled his eyes. Ever since the coronation had been announced, 'Your Majesty' had been Ronan's nickname for Ben.

Ben was silent for a moment. "You're alright with what I'm doing, right?" He asked hesitantly, referring to bringing some kids from the Isle to Auradon.

Ronan sighed. "You mean bringing the child of my mothers kidnapper to school with us? Yeah, it's no biggie. I just haven't told my mom yet." He shrugged.

Ben's head turned quickly to face him. "You haven't told your mom?" He asked in disbelief and the boy shook his head.

"Quick question, is the kid a boy or a girl?" Ronan put his phone away and stood up to walk over. 

Ben thought for a moment. "You know, I don't actually know." Ronan went to ask another question before Ben interrupted him. "No. I'm not telling you the parents of the other kids until my parents get here."

Ronan rolled his eyes. "You're no fun. How does Audrey feel about Benny Boo's first official proclamation?" He teased.

Ben threw him an annoyed look. "You're not funny."

Ben and Ronan had been friends since they were kids, granted, Ronan was two years older but he soon became something of a big brother to Ben so it was part of Ronan's job to annoy him.

"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned King next month?" Beast asked as he walked in with Belle. "You're just a baby!" 

Ronan laughed loudly and stood by the King and Queen. "Yeah, our little baby Benny Boo."

"He's turning 16 you two." Belle reminded them.

"Hey pops." Ben greeted with an embarrassed smile.

"16!" Beast exclaimed. "That's far too young to be crowned King. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42."

Belle scoffed. "Uh, you decided to marry me at 28." She reminded him and all three males in the room glanced at each other with smiles. 

"Well, it was either you or a tea pot." Beast teased and the other two chuckled. "Kidding." Belle rolled her eyes an ignored him.

"Mom, dad," Ben went to step forward but the tailor stopped him. "I've chosen my first official proclamation."

"Here we go." Ronan muttered and crossed his arms. Ben glanced at him but noticed he was looking at the floor before he could burst out laughing. "Go on, tell them."

Ben swallowed nervously. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance...to live here in Auradon." Belle dropped the shirt she was holding. "Every time I look out to the island I feel like they've been abandoned."

Belle turned to Ronan. "You knew about this?" She asked.

"Not until like...yesterday." He admitted and she nodded, still in shock.

The Beast's enthusiastic demeanour suddenly vanished. "The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?"

Ben nodded. "We start out with a few at first, the ones who need our help the most," Ben explained. "I've already chosen them."

"Have you?" The Beast questioned and took as step forward but Belle put a hand on his arm, trying to stay calm.

"I gave you a second chance," She reminded her husband. "Who are their parents?" Ronan snorted before Ben could get a word out but the blond gestured for him to carry on.

"Mother Gothel." Ben started and his parents looked at Ronan who shrugged as if it was no big deal. Ronan just wanted to hear the others. "Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen..."

"And?" Ronan pressed, knowing there was one more.

Ben stood up straight. "And Maleficent."

The tailor yelped and Ronan chuckled. "Oh my god, are you serious?"

"Maleficent! She is the worst villain in the land!" Beast shouted. 

"Dad just hear me out here..." Ben tried but his dad cut him off.

"I won't hear of it."

Ronan turned to the tailor and gestured for him to leave, which he did. "They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!" The Beast continued.

Ben turned to Ronan for help. "Your Majesty...their children are innocent," He tried to say. "Ben might be right here, don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life?"

"Dad?" Ben pleaded and silence took over them.

The King looked between the two boys. "I suppose the children are innocent." He muttered before walking away.

Belle smiled slightly and stepped in front of her son. "Well done." She said proudly and the King and Queen left.

Ben let out a breath and turned to Ronan who put a hand on his shoulder. "Did that go better or worse than you expected it too?" He asked.

"It was exactly how I expected it to go."

"And you wonder why I'm not telling my mom and dad."

"Scram! Or I'll lock you in a tower for 18 years of your miserable lives!" Maia shouted at the kids standing beside her as she waited for Mal to finish spray painting the wall.

 It was no secret that Maia scared the younger kids with that same threat every time, but even after a 18 years, it still worked. Maia was one of the oldest kids on the Isle and it was known that, even though they were all 'villains', she kept violence down to a minimum on the Isle.

It was just something she had done ever since Uma threatened to kill Mall after she wasn't allowed to join their group. Maia helped by making her friends with Harry and Gil which still worked to this day.

Mal chuckled. "You're never gonna stop using that, are you?" The purple haired girl asked.

Maia and Mal were only friends because they were half-sisters, not that anyone knew that. In fact, they were best friends but that was only because Maia had no others. She didn't like Mal's friend group or anyone else on the Isle. People were scared she would kidnap them and cut off their hair.

"It works every time so why would I stop?" Maia replied. Mal jumped down and the two looked at her work. "it looks good, I like it. Want me to meet you in the town centre while you terrorise half the island?"

Mal rolled her eyes. "No, I'll walk with you," She said. "I know you said you don't like my friends-"

"-Here we go-"

"-But which one do you prefer the most? If you had to choose."

"Carlos," Maia answered with no hesitation. "Jay is too overconfident and cocky and Evie is too...Evie. She smiles too much, does it not hurt her cheeks?"

"Ouch, you hurt my feelings Maia." Jay said from behind them with Carlos by his side.

Maia realised she preferred Carlos because he was the youngest. The boy was only 14, making him 4 years younger than Maia so she felt quite over protective at times.

Maia rolled her eyes and looked at Mal. "See what I mean?"

Mal laughed and Evie came rushing over excitedly. "Do you like it?" She asked them, pointing at the spray paint on the wall that said 'Rotten to the Core'. The other three all smiled and said it was good and Evie looked to Maia with pleading eyes. "Maia?"

She huffed. "I like it. No one said I had to say it out loud."

Evie smiled. She knew Maia didn't like them but it felt nice having the approval of the Island 'it' girl. Mal then took a lollipop from a baby as if it was the worst thing in the world, but Maia smiled, knowing the girl was trying her best. Suddenly people began screaming and vanishing, the five children turned around immediately knowing who it was

"Hi mom." Mal greeted.

"Stealing candy Mal?" She asked sarcastically. "I'm so disappointed." 

Mal shrugged. "it was from a baby?"

Maleficent gasped. "That's my nasty little girl." She took the lollipop, spat on it and gave it to one of her thugs. "Give it back to the dreadful creature." Maia laughed.

Mal sighed. "Mom..."

"It's the deets, Mal, that make the difference between mean and truly evil. When I was your age I was cursing entire Kingdoms. Walk with me."

Maleficent and Mal spoke together for a moment before Maleficent shrieked. "Oh! There's news!" She exclaimed and turned to them all. "I buried the lead. The five of you have been chosen to go to a different school...in Auradon."

"What?" They all shrieked. Maia laughed and shook her head, Jay and Carlos tried to run and Evie looked confused.

"I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses!" Mal argued.

"And perfect princes!" Evie added. 

"Evie, not the time." Maia told her and the girl nodded quickly.

"Yeah and I don't do uniforms," Jay spoke up. "Unless it's leather, you feel me?"

 Maia looked at him. "I don't think they wear uniforms. If they did, it definitely wouldn't be leather."

Carlos stepped forward. "I read somewhere that in Auradon they allow dogs. Mom said they're rabid pack animals who eat boys who don't behave."

"Carlos, you're not going to be eaten by a dog," Maia sighed. "And I'd like to add I'd rather not finish my last year of school were people hate me."

Jay barked in Carlos' ear causing him to jump. "Yeah, mom, we're not going!" Mal snapped.

"Oh, you're thinking small pumpkin," Maleficent said. "It's all about world domination."

She walked off after that, leaving the five children in shock.
