CHAPTER 29

"There they are," Evie says as Ben and Mal walk out while waving and bowing to people. Ben then leads Mal up to the balcony, where Bree is standing with her parents.

"Lady Mal and I wanna thank you for celebrating our engagement with us today. I couldn't be prouder or happier to call you my Queen," Ben says as he looks at Mal lovingly. "So... raise your glasses. To our future Queen of Auradon."

"To our Queen of Auradon!" Everyone cheers.

"Speech, Your Special-ness," Carlos calls as he raises his glass.

"Speech, Your Fancy One," Jay calls also raising his glass, causing everyone to laugh. Mal takes a moment to look at everyone.

"I can't. I can't be Queen of Auradon," Mal says causing everyone to gasp in shock.

"Mal?" Ben asks her worriedly.

"I can't turn my back on the Isle," Mal tells him before turning back to everyone else causing Bree to smile. "We made a decision to close the barrier forever." Dizzy and the Smee twins look at each other sadly. "And it was my idea. But it's wrong. I've learned that you can't live in fear because it doesn't actually protect you from anything. You never know where the bad is gonna come from. And you never know where the heroes are gonna come from either. Without Uma, Harry, and her pirates, Auradon would be gone. And without Hades, my father..." The crowd gasps. "Audrey would be gone. We are all capable of good and bad, no matter which side of the barrier we come from." Mal turns to Ben, who is looking at her lovingly, because this is the girl he fell in love with. "And that's why I can't be Queen of just Auradon. I have to be Queen of the Isle, too. And it's time that we take the barrier down forever."

"We can't do that," Beast argues as Bree looks out at the Isle longingly.

"It's up to us, Dad," Ben tells him. Ben wraps an arm around Mal before looking out at everyone. "I choose to be a King who moves forward. It's time for forgiveness. It's time for new beginnings. It's time for love. The barrier will come down!"

"Yes!" Bree cheers causing everyone to laugh. Mal looks over at Ben in happiness.

"Bring it down, Mal," Ben tells her with a smile. Everyone starts clapping and cheering before Mal motions for Evie, Jay, and Carlos to join her. Fairy Godmother hands the magic wand to Mal as Bree stands with her brother.

"To make the world a better place..." Mal starts.

"We have to do it face to face," The VK's say together. Mal sends a spark with the magic wand making the barrier and the constant clouds disappear. A bridge appears connecting Auradon and the Isle.

"My plan. Yes!" Uma cheers as she and Harry walk out to see the bridge. Harry smiles as he imagines Bree waiting on the other side of the bridge. Mal gives the wand back to Fairy Godmother before pulling Bree to the edge of the balcony.

"It's time to bring it together

Time for a brand new start," Bree sings as she looks out at the Isle.

"We're gonna put it in motion

Break down What keeps us apart," Harry sings as he looks out at Auradon from his balcony with Uma.

"No more no division we down

New team got the vision" Mal sings as she snaps her fingers.

"Unite till we stand

Now we living marching

In the light, one, two

One, two like," Uma sings as she moves to the beat.

"I see you" Mal sings.

"You see me," Uma sings.

"Imperfect" Bree sings.

"Perfectly" Harry sings.

"Face to face we can see

Clearly our similarities like," Uma and Mal sing together.

"Day and night," Harry sings as he and Uma are joined on the balcony by Celia and Gil.

"Wrong or right," Bree sings as she and Mal are joined by Evie, Jay, and Carlos.

"We come together

For a good time

We're gonna break this down

We're gonna rock the town

Everyone all around

Let's be whoever like this

Stronger together like this," Everyone sings.

"Believing in second chances," Uma sings as she and Celia walk down the stairs.

"And we'll all starting today," Celia sings.

"Marching on in a new land," Harry sings as he joins Uma, Celia, and Gil in front of everyone.

"Our world's a better A better place," Uma, Celia, Harry, and Gil sing as they head for the bridge.

"Welcome the additional love" Evie and Bree sing.

"Unity new beginning for us," Carlos sings as he, Evie, Bree, Mal, and Jay head for the bridge.

"Harmony that's the mission Marching," Jay sings.

"In the light, one, two,

One, two like

I see you, you see me

Imperfect, perfectly

Face to face we can see

Clearly our similarities like

Day and night

Wrong or right

We come together

For a good time," Everyone sings before they meet in the middle of the bridge. Uma holds everyone on her side back while Mal holds everyone back on her side. Mal smiles at Bree and nods for her to go forward while Uma does the same with Harry. They each walk a little bit forward as they smile at each other. Harry bows to Bree causing her to giggle as she bows back before running over to Harry. He picks her up and spins her around before kissing her. Everyone cheers before they start dancing again.

"We're gonna break this down

We're gonna rock the town

Everyone all around

Just be whoever like this

Stronger together like this

We reunited like this," Everyone on the bridge sings as they dance and mingle together before they start heading for Auradon.

"Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down

Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down," The kids left in Auradon sing and dance.

"Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down

Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down," Everyone sings as they dance, before the Auradon kids go back with the others. The Isle kids look around shocked before Ben leads Auradon in bowing to them. Uma and Harry laugh before running over to Mal and Bree then hugging them. Everyone then pairs off as they start dancing.

"We're gonna break this down

Break this down

We're gonna rock the town

We're gonna rock the town

Everyone all around

Everybody on the Isle

Everyone all around

Just be whoever like this

Stronger together like this

We reunited like this

Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down," Everyone sings as they dance before they all end looking out at the Isle. Celia and Dizzy come to stand on either side of Mal before she hugs them both. The sons of the Huns come over with a paper dragon that looks like Mal before circling around her causing her to laugh. Mal then starts jumping around with the Isle kids. Celia runs over to Dr. Facilier, Dizzy runs over to Lady Tremaine, and the Smee twins run over to Mr. Smee.

"Carlos?" Jane says.

"Yeah?" Carlos asks.

"I'm actually really nervous to meet your mom," Jane tells him.

"You're nervous? His mom is Cruella De Vil! I'm petrified," Dude says as he walks over to them.

"Wait 'til she hears I want to be a vet," Carlos says as he looks at the Isle worriedly.

"What do you say you and me go exploring? We'll do a gap year. Jungles or icebergs?" Jay asks Gil.

"Both?" Gil asks.

"Yeah!" Jay cheers.

"Chest bump!" Gil says before he and Jay chest bump.

"Hey. Get it, girl," Uma says as she and Evie dance together. "You know what? Mal came through."

"She always does," Evie says as they look at Mal, who is still jumping around with the Isle kids but now has Bree with her.

"So, she's definitely single?" Harry asks as he points at Bree.

"Definitely," Evie answers him.

"Evie is taken," Doug says as he stands next to her.

"What's her name?" Uma asks as she nudges Harry and points at Bree.

"Bree," Harry answers before Bree runs over to him and they kiss. As Bree pulls away she feels something shift around her neck before looking down to find a necklace. The necklace is a hanging rose, which causes Bree to smile cause a rose was the start of her parents love story. Harry smiles at Bree before she kisses him on the cheek and hugs him.

Mal is talking to Ben when they are interrupted.

"Am I invited to the wedding?" Hades asks causing them to turn to him shocked.

"Hi, Dad. Um..." Ben stumbles for words as Mal walks over to Hades, hugging him. Mal stands beside her dad as she smirks at Ben.

"I'm sure you two will be very happy together," Hades tells them before Mal hugs Ben. Behind Mal's back, Hades gives Ben the 'I'm watching you signal'. Mal grabs Hades' hand and starts to lead him into Auradon.

"Welcome to Auradon," Ben says as he pats Hades on the back, earning a glare from Hades. Ben then fixes his suit nervously before following after Mal and Hades.

"We're gonna break this down

Break this down

We're gonna rock the town

Oh, we're gonna rock

Everyone all around

Just be whoever like this

Stronger together like this

We reunited like this

We're gonna break this down

Come on, we're gonna break

We're gonna rock the town

Everybody on the Isle gonna rock

Everyone all around

Just be whoever like this

Stronger together like this

We reunited like this

Bringing it, bringing it

Bri-bri-bringing it down," Everyone starts singing again as Carlos, Evie, Mal, and Jay meet back up hugging before leading the way into Auradon. They are followed by Chad, Audrey, Ben, Bree, Jane, and Doug, who are followed by Dizzy, Gil, Uma, Harry, and Celia. Everyone else then follows into Auradon.

Jay, Mal, Evie, and Carlos walk back out and look at the Isle as Bree, Harry, and Ben stand on the balcony above them.

"Do you ever miss them?" Evie asks as they all think about their parents.

"Yeah," Jay answers as Mal smiles.

"Do you think that they miss us?" Mal asks.

"Yeah. Of course," Carlos answers.

"Cause we're rotten..." Mal starts as she puts her fist out.

"To the core," They finish as they add their fists.

"Hey, last one over the bridge..." Carlos starts.

"Is a rotten apple!" The others finish before they take off running across the bridge.
