As soon as the group made it to Auradon, Penny tumbled out of Jay's arms and stood up, ready to defend herself. Carlos rushed over and began to calm his girlfriend down. "Hey, hey, it's okay. You're okay. We're back in Auradon." Penny relaxed a little, but continued to glare at Uma, Gil, and Harry. "What are they doing here?" "We made a deal with them," said Mal as she stepped forward and took hold of Penny's arms. "They're going to help us stop Audrey." Penny nodded before letting herself melt in Carlos' arms. Carlos chuckled and kissed the top of Penny's head. Penny smiled up at Carlos, but her smile fell when she looked around Auradon. "Oh, my God," Penny gasped. Everyone was asleep.

Penny looked around and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"No."

"Penny!"

Everyone looked over to see Felix running over to them. But as soon as Harry and Felix caught eyes, the two took out their weapons.

"Stop!" Penny yelled as she jumped in between the two boys. "For once, in your life, can you not fight?! We have a bigger issue at hand than our own rivalry!" Penny's eyes began to glow neon green, and she gasped. Felix ran to her and he quickly steadied her.

"Penny? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Where's my father? And Rufio?"

"They're fine. They're protecting the ones you told us to protect." Penny nodded and Felix pulled the girl into a hug.

"They're asleep. Everyone."

"I can't get through Ben," said Mal.

"Or Dizzy. Or Doug," Evie added.

"Is that Auradon Prep?" Celia asked.

Carlos and Penny walked over to each other and Carlos wrapped an arm around Penny's shoulder. "Yeah. And when everyone wakes up, you're going to love it."

"Everything is so. . ."

"Freaky."

"Green!" Gil corrected Jay. "You have leaves on your trees. And what are those color things on your bushes?" Jay turned to Gil and rose an eyebrow. "Uh. . . Flowers?"

"Flowers are pretty. Cantelope!" Gil began to eat the fruit off from a plate and Uma walked over to the two boys. "We don't have any fresh fruit on the Isle, remember?" Jay sighed and let Gil eat the fruit. Gil thanked the unconscious girl and Jay shook his head. "They're grapes," Jay told Gil before making his way over to the others.

Penny turned to see Harry grabbing a guy's wallet and taking the money out of it. She rolled her eyes and strutted over. "You really want to do that, Harry? This isn't the Isle, this isn't the Enchanted Forest, and this definitely isn't Neverland. Now, I suggest you go over to your captain," Jay walked over and Penny smirked, "or Jay here will squash you like a bug."

Harry glared at Jay before giving Penny the money. "Like I'm scared of you, Jay!" Jay walked forward, but both boys stopped when Uma and Mal called out for them. Penny put the money in the sleeping guy's pocket and she and Jay rejoined the group. "Mm!"

"Dude!"

Penny and Carlos rushed over and Penny picked the dog up. "Oh, I'm so glad you're okay," cooed Penny as she kissed the top of Dude's head. Carlos scratched Dude's head and wrapped Penny into a hug. Everyone looked at the couple, and Mal, Jay, Evie, and Felix smiled. Gil even let out a smile, and so did Harry, until Harry's smile turned into a frown. No matter what, he can never get over Penny.

Mal walked over and Carlos remembered that they were on a mission. "Oh. Do you know what happened here?" Carlos asked the dog.

"Yep, Audrey showed up, she put everybody to sleep, and then she turned spme of them to - "

"Guys."

Everyone looked over at Evie and Penny's eyes widened. "Hannah turned to stone." Everyone walked over and Penny frowned. Felix gave her a sad smile and Penny smiled back.

"All right, everybody stay on their toes," said Jay.

"Look, since we're here, let's check the school," Uma suggested. Penny had to agree with her. The school was right in front of them.

"No." Penny turned to Mal. "Audrey went straight for the crown, so I think it's safe to assume that she's gonna go for Ben and his castle next. That's where we'll go."

"Says who?"

"Says me?"

Uma rolled her eyes. "Says you. That's supposed to mean something to me?"

Mal and Uma began to walk toward each other, but Penny quickly got in the middle of them. "Ladies, ladies, you're both very pretty. But we're on a time sensitive mission right now, so can we leave the fighting to another day?" Mal looked at Penny before nodding.

"To the castle."

Everyone began to follow Mal, and Penny sighed. Felix gave the couple a smile before he began to follow Mal. Carlos wrapped his arm around Penny's waist, and the two began to follow the rest. Penny had put Dude down by now, and the dog was walking next to her.

"Come on, mom. Let's go!"

Penny chuckled and she and Carlos began to follow the dog into the castle. Everyone else followed them, as Penny kept up with the dog. They finally made it inside the castle, but there was no sign of Ben or his parents. Everyone came to a stop and Carlos put his arm around Penny's shoulder. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Penny asked, whispering so only Carlos could hear her. Carlos simply kissed her cheek and whispered, "Everything's going to be fine." Penny nodded and Dude told everyone to follow him. Mal was up front now, and Carlos and Penny were right behind her. There was still no sign of anyone in the castle.

"Ben?!" Mal called out. "Ugh. Ben could be asleep anywhere."

"Or turned to stone," said Celia. Evie then put her hand over Celia's mouth and Penny chuckled. Mal called out for Ben again, and Dude said that the scent got a little stronger. "I got his scent, very pungent cologne. It's easy to follow," said Dude, causing Penny to chuckle. The group began to walk forward, but stopped.

"Hold up," said Uma, and everyone turned to what she was looking at. Everyone became tense and Felix stepped closer to Penny. "What's this?"

Carlos stepped forward, his heart sinking. "Uh. . . Any chance this was already there?" On the wall, there were scratches. Claw marks. Penny walked forward and she ran her fingers over the marks.

"If you guys weren't on your toes then, then I really suggest you all watch your backs. No one's safe anymore if a beast like this is running around Auradon. . . Beast. . . You don't think - " but Penny stopped herself as she looked over at Mal. She then walked over, took hold of Mal's hand, and gave it a gentle squeeze. "We'll find him."

Mal smiled at Penny, and Penny smiled back.

"And follow me!" Dude began walking and they began to follow the dog. Felix and Carlos walked on either side of Penny, and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm more worried about everyone else. Even if something is wrong with me. I can take care of myself, boys."

"Oh, we know," said Felix.

"Doesn't me we don't want to protect you," added Carlos and Penny rolled her eyes, but chuckled.

"Ben! Ben!" Mal continued to call out, and the three quickly caught up with the others. Dude came to a set of closed doors, and he waited for someone to open them. Mal saw the problem for the dog, so she quickly walked over and opened the doors for everyone. As they walked in, Penny noticed knights stood around the room in a circle.

"Stay here," Penny heard Evie tell Celia as everyone else walked down the steps and around the room. Harry whistled and Penny turned.

"I can feel you lurking."

"Good," said Jay, and Penny rolled her eyes.

"So you can track, cuddle, and talk," said Gil as he petted Dude. Carlos pulled Penny over, and he chuckled. "Hey, do you think his puppies would be able to talk, to?"

"All right, man," said Carlos. "He's taken." Penny kissed Carlos' cheek and walked over to Mal, Evie, and Uma.

"I bet you lost some sleep over me when I was out on the lose, huh?"

"No. Dragons don't really lose sleep. I wonder what fried octopus tastes like?"

"Okay, why don't we not do this?"

"We're celebrating our differences," Uma told Evie. A knight suddenly turned and Harry and Penny turned to their leaders.

"I believe we're being challenged," they said in unison.

"Let's split up and look for Audrey."

"That makes absolutely no sense. Unless you give me my ember, she's going to spell you."

The knight moved again, and Harry and Penny both yelled, "Girls!" The two looked at one another before looking back to their leaders. "We have a situation here," they said together again.
