In Auradon:

Ben sat at his desk, looking over his papers until Eliott peeked through the door.

"Hey, Ben?"

Ben looked up at him and smiled. "Eliott, come in, take a seat. What's going on?"

Eliott sat down in a seat in front of Ben's desk. He took a deep breath before speaking.

"Well, I might have said some not so nice words to Azira this morning and I went to her room to apologize, but she wasn't there, I looked everywhere for her."

Ben looked at the younger boy in confusion. "Really?" he asked. "Have you che-"

"Mal and Evie's dorms? I did," Eliott confirmed. "And Jay and Carlos' she's not there and now that I'm thinking about it, neither is Mal."

"What?"

The two boys turned towards the door and saw Evie opening the door. Evie looked at Ben before turning to Eliott.

"Good, you two are here," she said as she and Haidee walked into the room.

"What, why?" Ben asked. "What's going on?"

The girls looked at each other before Haidee spoke.

"Mal and Azira's gone back to the Isle," she told them.

"What?" Ben said again.

Evie handed Ben a letter as well as the ring he gave Mal. Once Ben finished reading the note, he slammed his fist on the desk.

"This is all my fault," he muttered. "She was under so much pressure and I just went full beast on her."

"But why Azira?" Haidee asked. "I normally wouldn't ask that question but I am not doing this new goddess thing without her."

Evie, Ben, and Haidee looked at Eliott, who was looking down at the desk.

"What did you do?" Haidee asked her.

Eliott took a sharp breath. "I-uh-broke up with her after saying that she wasn't good enough to be my girlfriend." Before Haidee could kill him, Eliott spoke again. "Bu-but I'm willing to make things right, I will make things right. I'm going to find her and apologize."

"So am I," Ben said. "Go to the Isle and apologize to Mal, I mean."

"You can't go there by yourselves," Evie told them. "You don't know the Isles, you don't know what'll happen, I'll..." Evie stopped herself before speaking again. "You have to take me with you."

"Yes-uh-are-are you sure?" Ben asked Evie.

"Mal and Azira are my best friends, of course, I'm coming with you," Evie said. "And we're bringing the boys too because there's safety in numbers and we're not exactly popular there right now."

"I'm coming too," Haidee said. "My cousin might not want to see me of all people, but I might be able to talk to her."

Ben nodded as he and Eliott looked at each other.

"But," Evie told Ben. "Before we go you have to promise me two things."

Ben nodded. "Of course."

"You have to promise me that me or Jay or Carlos or any one of us won't get stuck back there again," Evie told him in a serious tone.

Ben nodded. "I promise."

Evie nodded before looking at Ben's uniform.

"And you are not going to the Isle dressed like that," she said before looking at Eliott and Haidee. "Neither of you are."

The trio looked at each other in confusion as they saw Evie's smirk.

~~~

Azira walked out of the hideout to go somewhere to breathe a little after Mal left to go to Tremaine's parlor. She walked around for a moment until she found herself in front of Ursula's Fish 'N Chip shop. She took in a deep breath before walking in. She noticed the barrel that said "Sword Check." she didn't have a sword, so she walked right past it.

Once she was really in the shop, she noticed the TV. She walked towards the TV to see that it was on a broadcast where it showed her and Eliott looking like a happy couple.

Seeing him look at her with all the love in the world made her heart swell up, but it also made her blood boil seeing him. He told her she wasn't good enough for her, so all his gifts and things were just him trying to pull her in just to get his way and make them look like the most perfect couple in the world.

She picked up a random piece of fish from someone's plate and threw it at the TV in a rage.

"He is such a player!" she growled.

"Hey!" Azira looked down to see a random pirate looking at her, mad that she threw his fish.

Azira looked at the pirate for a moment before turning around and going to another table and sitting down with her back to the TV, trying to cancel out the noise.

"I am so glad I am back," she muttered. "They were right, Auradon is full of pathetic rich people who just love watching people suffer."

A plate appeared in front of her. "I'm glad it didn't take long for you to find that out."

Azira looked up to see Harison looking down at her. "I thought you might need some energy."

Azira sighed. "I'm fine."

"I know, but just one? Come on." Harison sat down in front of her.

Azira looked at the plate for a moment before grabbing a piece of fish and biting a piece of it before putting it back on the plate.

Harison shrugged. "Well, that's a start," he chuckled.

Azira looked up at him. "Do you act this nice in front of everyone?"

Harison shrugged. "No, my father told me that it's not worth being nice to people if they aren't to you. That is honestly the wisest thing he said to me ever."

Azira raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you nice to me?" she asked. "I've been standoffish to you since I came back."

Harison nodded. "Oh, I know, but coming from someone who has eleven brothers with completely different personalities, I know when someone needs some niceness."

Azira chuckled. "Thanks, Harison...again." she laughed.

Harison smiled. "You're welcome, darling."

Harison then picked up a fry from the plate. "So, cheers?"

Azira smiled at him before picking up a fry and clinking it with Harison's. "Cheers."

They began to share the plate for a moment before Harry rushed into the shop.

"Uma!" he called out as the daughter of Ursula walked out from the back with some plates. "Guess who's back?"

"Well, spit it out, Harry, I don't have all day," Uma said as she set the plates in her hand down.

"It's Mal!" he said with glee. "I saw her at Tremaine's with her granddaughter!"

Uma stopped in her tracks. "What?" she asked. "She's here?" her face went from shocked to happy. "Is she alone?"

Harry nodded, which made her happier.

"Perfect!" she said. "The princess is back! Time for our revenge!"

Uma started laughing, which was followed by everyone else laughing as well. Harison and Azira were the only ones who weren't laughing as Azira's face held a look of horror.

"Go back out there," Uma commanded. "And if you see Gil, tell him to watch out for her as well, we're going down in history!"

She waited until Uma walked back to the kitchen and Harry left to get up and walk out of the shop. Harison followed after her.

"Where are you going?"

"To warn Mal, she's in trouble."

"Why?"

"Because she is my friend and I promised that I would help her. Now is a time when she needs help."

"Let me help you,"

"No."

"No?"

"I don't want you to get in trouble with Elisia for getting involved with me, especially since she hates me."

"Well, she's not going to catch me if we-"

"Shh."

Harison quieted down for a moment. "Why did you shush me?"

"I hear a car coming."

"A car?"

Azira thought for a moment. "No, not a car," she listened more closely. "It's a limo..."

She backed away before running back to the hideout with Harison following her. She made it there and noticed footsteps.

"Good, Mal's here." she sighed in relief. She then turned around to look at Harison. "I'm serious, Harison, go, please. Go back to the Castle and stay there, I don't want you getting hurt because of me."

Harison tried to speak but Azira rushed up the stairs before he could say anything.

"Okay," he breathed out.

~~~

Evie, Ben, Haidee, Eliott, Jay, and Carlos were walking through the Isle when two kids grabbed Evie and tried to snatch her money. She looked at them for a moment before letting them go with the money. She looked at the kids with a sad expression before walking after the others.

"So, where are we going?" Eliott asked.

"Well, there's our old hideout that's not far from here," Jay explained. "I think that's where they went."

"Okay," Eliott muttered before Carlos stopped him.

"Eliott," he said.

"What-ah!" Eliott yelped as Carlos pulled him by his collar.

"It is your fault that Azira's here. If you don't properly apologize to her or you make things worse, I will beat you till you're bloody and unrecognizable, so if you don't want this to happen I suggest you make things right with her."

Eliott nodded and Carlos let go of him as Jay pulled him away from Eliott. The snow prince shuddered before following the group.

Ben began trailing off and came face to face with a pirate who was going to attack him. Thankfully, Evie and the others came in time to shoo the pirate away.

Evie pulled Ben close to her. "Ben," she scolded. "This is not a parade, this is the isle."

"Keep your hands in your pants unless you're stealing." Jay told Ben as Haidee and Eliott walked to his side.

"Either slouch or strut," Carlos added.

"And never ever smile," Jay said.

"Well, okay," Ben said. "Thank-"

"Uhp!" Eliott stopped him.

"Don't say thank you, and drop the please, just...chill."

Ben was whistling, feeling himself, until he bumped into Gil.

Gil turned around and smiled once he saw Ben. "hey! I know you!" he said.

Ben tried to brush him off. "Nah, I don't know you either man."

"Uh, yeah you do," Gil told him. "Okay, I'll give you a hint, my dad is slick, quick, and his neck is incredibly thick." they still didn't answer him. "Come on, man, I-"

Gil stopped himself once he noticed a poster on the wall of Ben and Mal. he then looked between Ben and the poster before gasping. "Oh! You're King Ben!

"Um, I don't know what you're talking about," Ben said as Jay pulled him away.

"Yeah, you're totally King Ben and you're Evie, Jay, Carlos, hey guys!" Gil said as they walked away. He then gasped once he realized what was going on. "Ooh, Uma's gonna love this!"

~~~

The Vks and Aks finally reached the Vks' old hideout. Jay threw a rock at the 'DANGER: FLYING ROCKS' sign and the fence went up. Ben and Eliott looked at each other before walking to the staircase.

Ben sighed as he turned around to the Vks and Haidee.

"Wish us luck," Ben said as they continued to walk up the staircase.

"All the way up," Jay told them as Carlos walked up to his side.

"Eliott," the snow prince turned towards him with a questioning but nervous expression. "Remember what I told you. Don't make her cry again."

Eliott nodded before going to follow Ben.

"Good luck!" Evie said as the fence went down.

~~~

The boys walked up the staircase to see Mal painting with spray paint on a wall while Azira was watching with a satisfied smile.

"At least it's not a painting with us with pitchforks and horns," Ben said jokingly with Eliott nodding in agreement.

The girls turned around at the voices. Mal looked shocked while Azira looked tearful and angry.

"What are you doing here?" Azira asked Eliott. "I told you I never wanted to see you again."

Eliott nodded. "I know, and I am deeply sorry for what I did, I promise," he tried to walk towards her but she backed away. "I was wrong about what I said. I do love you, every bit of you. Princess of the court or not. You are perfect just the way you are and I'm sorry that I didn't see that and just took the words of others."

Azira was quiet for a moment before turning away from him. "I need a moment away from you right now."

Eliott was distraught but nodded as he just left the hideout. Leaving Azira, Mal, and Ben alone.

Ben sighed as he looked at Mal. "Mal, I'm sorry about our fight. "It was all my fault...please come home."

Ben held out his ring to Mal.

Azira patted Mal's shoulder. "I'm gonna leave you guys alone, okay?"

Mal nodded as Azira walked out of the room, leaving Mal and Ben alone.

Mal looked at Ben before walking to him. "Ben," she said. "I am home."

"Well, I brought the limo," he said, trying to lighten the mood. "It's a sweet ride."

"I don't fit in, Ben," Mal told him. "I gave it my best shot, and if you think I can change, then you're wrong."

"Then I'll change," Ben insisted. "I'll skip school, you know, lay off of some responsibilities-"

"No, no," Mal cut Ben off. "See, I'm such a bad influence. It's only a matter of time until I do something so messed up that not only will the kingdom turn on me but they'll turn on you too."

"Don't quit on us Mal," Ben said before giving her his ring. "The people love you. I love you. Don't you love me?"

Mal looked down at the ring in her hand. She then looked back up at Ben before placing it back in his hand and closing it. "I have to take myself out of the picture because it's what's best for you, my friends, and for Auradon."

"Please think about this, Mal,"

"I have, and this is my choice," Mal told him. She picked up the spray paint and returned to the wall. "You should go." she had a feeling Ben was still there so she turned back around. "Ben, leave. Please leave!"

Ben was sad but still left Mal alone.

He walked back down the stairs to the others.

"Where's Mal?" Evie asked.

"She's not coming," Ben told them.

"What?"

"Neither is Azira," Eliott said before turning to Carlos who looked like he was on the verge of punching the snow prince. "She kicked me out, you can tell Ben! Please don't punch me."

Carlos scoffed. "Well see about that."

"I'll talk to them," Evie said before going to a microphone and speaking into it. "Mal, Azira, it's me, Evie. let's talk, please?"

Mal turned a lever before speaking into a microphone of her own. "Go away!"

Jay walked to Evie. "Let's give them time to cool off, okay?" he said, causing Evie to let out a sigh.

Carlos looked around. "Guys," he said as they looked around at him. "Where's Ben and Elliot?"

"Ben!" Evie called out. "Eliott!" they all let out a sigh of relief once they saw someone coming their way whom they thought was Ben. "Come on, Ben, don't scare us like that, now where's Eliott?"

"Scare you?" Harry called out. "But that's my specialty."

"Harry," Jay growled as he saw him. "Where's Ben and Eliott?"

"Oh, eh, we niched him, Ben," he said before smiling. "If you wanna see him, tell Mal to come to Ursula's Chip Shop for a wee visit alone. Uma wants to have a little chat with 'er."

"Now where's Eliott?" Jay asked. "What have you done with him?"

"Oh, we haven't done anything to Mr Frosty, but he did." Harry pointed behind them. The Vks and Haidee turned around to see Harison walking towards them with a big grin.

"Harison!" Carlos growled. "Of course. What are you doing with Eliott?"

"Oh, I'm just trying to get him back for making Azira cry, you know, trying to finish what my father started, but a little bit civil to keep the code." Harison smiled with Harry laughing behind them. "I really don't want anything in exchange for them, but Elisia wants Azira to come to the Castle of the Wicked to get a few things settled." he finally noticed Haidee, who looked surprised. "Ooh, another one of Elisia's fiends. I bet you're glad you're not on her bad side, huh?"

Haidee glared at Harison. "I'm not here to play games with the likes of her."

Harison laughed. "Oh, goody me, no wonder Elisia hates you, I would too if I saw you," he smirked. "But, I better get back to doing my duties. See you all later!"

Harison then walked off. Harry pushed aside the VKs before walking after Harison, laughing at them.

~~~

"If you guys never would have brought them here this would've never happened." Mal scolded them.

"Though I don't want to even speak about Eliott right now, Mal's right. What were you thinking?" Azira agreed.

"They were going to come with or without us," Evie defended them. "We just wanted to protect them."

"Yeah, and we completely blew it," Carlos reminded them.

"Okay, okay," Jay cuts in. "So, what are we going to do?"

"We," Mal said, gesturing to the group. "Are not doing anything. This is between Uma and me-"

"And Elisia and I," Azira cuts off.

"And Uma's a punk and guess what? Now I have to get him."

"Wait," Haidee stood up before walking to Azira. "You really think you can take on the daughter of the goddess of strife and discord by yourself?"

Azira nodded. "It's Elisia, we've been battling since we were kids, just like you and I have and I've won against her every time. She's not going to get to me."

Haidee had a look of concern on her face, but she sighed and brushed it off as Carlos walked to her.

"But, Mal. you're still gonna have to go through Harry and his wharf rats," Carlos told Mal.

"Yeah, you're gonna need us," Jay added. "Both of you."

Azira shook her head. "Uma and Elisia said to come alone, guys,"

" Mal, Azira, come on," Evie said.

"They said to come alone," Carlos said before they could reply. "I know one thing. I'm not going anywhere," he just flopped on the couch.

Jay sighed. "We'll be here when you get back," he told the girls. Mal nodded before she and Azira left.

~~~

Azira made her way to the Castle of the Wicked. The place was just like she saw it when she first came to the Isle, cleaner than the other buildings here, but still dirty in a sense. She sighed and walked to the door, she tried to knock on the door until she heard a voice.

"Oh no no." Harison's voice echoed behind her. "You aren't going through there, darling. It's too dangerous. Here, I know a shortcut."

Harison took Azira's hand and led her through the back of the castle where they saw a small door. It looked short but it was big and wide enough for them to go through. Harison went through first before reaching for her hand. Azira was hesitant at first before grabbing his hand and walking through with him before the door shut.

The duo made their way through every quick and turn there was in the castle until they made it to a room where they saw Elisia, Lewie LaFou, and Eliott with the two formers surrounding him while the latter was tied to a pole with a rope.

Elisia laughed as she put her finger to his chin. "You are a fine prince, aren't you?" she giggled.

"I-I'd like to think of myself as pretty charming," Eliott said nervously.

Elisia smirked as she looked at her clock. "A few more hours until your precious girlfriend gets to see you get burned at the stake."

Eliott looked down at the floor. "She...she is not my girlfriend anymore," he told them.

Harison scoffed. "Good riddance."

"Oh really?" she said, amused. "Well, that's a shocker, 'cause that's exactly what my spy told me."

"Spy?" Eliott asked. "You have a spy in Auradon?"

"My spy's been following you everywhere, sweetheart." Elisia grinned. "You just haven't followed them yet."

Azira gasped and was ever more surprised once Harison stood up. He reached for her hand which she accepted. They made their way towards the trio as Lewie noticed them.

"Look who's here!" Lewie said happily.

Elisia looked to see Azira and Harison walking together.

"Awe, Harison, you were her chauffeur? How sweet." Elisia grinned.

Eliott looked to see Harison and Azira still holding hands. Harison noticed him staring and made it a point to squeeze her hand and bring him closer to her. Eliott looked at Harison with rage in his eyes.

"Let Eliott go," Azira said. "Or I'm gonna show everyone how much of a coward you were when we were young."

Elisia smirked. "You must have forgotten what happens in the Castle of the Wicked, huh?" she asked. "Whoever comes in does not come out the same way, or have you been out for too long?"

Azira knew the rules of the castle very well, but she didn't want Eliott to put up with the torture that is endured there.

"I know the rules, Elisia, but the rules also state that any victim can trade with an innocent to make them feel the torture instead, so I want to switch with Eliott."

Harison and Eliott both looked at the goddess in shock. "What?" Eliott asked. "Azira, no-"

"You won't survive this, Eliott," Azira cut him off. "It's only for immortals or people with true strength to handle what the castle provides. This is not for people like you."

"Azira, but-"

"No! Not another word. I already went through this castle and came out on the other side alive. I can do this."

Eliott tried to speak again, but Elisia already cut off his ropes, sending him to the ground. He got up and tried to stop Azira from leaving, but the people held him back.

"Remember," Elisia said. "This place is specifically designed by my mother to feed people the most terrifying, heartbreaking visions alive, so as you get further, they get stronger. Complete this and you'll get my greatest praise."

Azira stepped in front of the door. She then looked at Elisia. "Have you ever gone through the castle before?"

Elisia scoffed. "Of course not," she said. "My mom excuses me from that torment. That's why I only host it."

Azira smirked. "Would you like to?"

Elisia realized what she was trying to do pretty quickly and walked towards her with an angry expression. "No, I do not," she growled. "And you already picked your fate." she grabbed Azira by her collar. "Now do it."

She shoved Azira into the dark part of the castle where the wickedness takes place. Elisia laughed as she locked the doors, keeping her inside.

"Remember," she said once again. "You have to go through all of it and try to make it out on the other side. This is what you chose."

"Shut up, bitch."

Azira was walking through the room. She knew from last time which way to go, but it seemed like things changed from last time, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She was making her way down until she saw this blue light. She was curious as to what it was and made her way towards it. Once she walked in front of it, she saw the silhouette of a woman-no, it wasn't a woman-well, it was, but it wasn't a normal woman, she had sea-like hair and light freckles and everything about her looked like that of a sea nymph...more specifically...

"Mother..." Azira whispered.

Judinine, a beautiful sea nymph, previous wife of Ares, and Azira's mother. She looked beautiful, no wonder Ares caught her eye.

Judinine noticed her daughter and reached out to hug her. Azira was about to hug her as well but stopped momentarily.

Judinine frowned and tilted her head at her daughter's response to a hug. She walked closer to her.

Azira backed up. "You're not real," she told her. "You aren't my mother, my mother has an angel's voice, and you can't even speak."

Judinine smiled before clearing her throat. "I'm sorry, my darling," Azira's eyes widened in horror... She believed that spirits couldn't talk, and there she was. She then remembered that this was still the castle, not the underworld.

Azira sighed. "I can get through my fears," she muttered. "My mother is not here...she's just a fragment of my imagination right now. I can get out of here."

She sighed as she stared blankly at the figure in front of her. "You are not my mother, my mother is dead, and it is now very clear, now, can you show me where the exit is?"

Judinine kept the same smile on her face and it just started to creep Azira out as she walked past her.

"I'm not dead," she spoke, startling Azira. The girl turned around to face the spirit once again.

"What?" Azira asked, she didn't know whether to run or just attack the spirit at this point. "You're making jokes at this point, just-just leave me alone."

"Azira," she spoke again. "I am not joking, I promise."

"Stop lying!" she yelled. "Again, my mother was dead for 12 years! If you are here you would've-"

"I can't leave!" Judinine yelled. "I've been stuck here for twelve years, trained to be nothing but a scarer in the castle. I'm weak, I can go a few years without water at least, but these last 3 years have been torture. I've been-"

"Shh," Azira shushed the woman. Not to be rude, but to hear. "I heard banging."

Judinine walked closer to her daughter. "What banging? Like knocking down the door banging?"

Azira nodded. "Yeah...I think."

The banging soon got louder, this time, it was coming from the entrance door.

"Yeah, now I think it's knocking on the door banging," Azira confirmed.

Judinine nodded as Azira reached for the doorknob. She quickly yanked on the door, which was unlocked. She swung it open and screamed as a circular trunk of wood came running towards her. She quickly moved out of the way as Harrison and Lewis kept running into the room but stopped once they realized it was open. Harison turned to Azira and quickly pulled her out of the room with Judinine.

"We have to get out of there until something very bad happens," he said. "Thankfully, it was only-"

Azira was holding her unconscious mother. "Do you have any water?" she asked them. Lewis nodded and ran to grab some water until Harison stopped her.

"Not tap water," he said. "Sea water, Uma has it, let's go."

Azira and Harison were on their way to Uma's with Lewie following them. Harison stopped Lewie.

"Lewie, stop," he said. "It's already bad enough that I betrayed Elisia, I don't want her to get mad at you too. Lewie, stay here."

Lewie nodded as the duo made it to Uma's. They made sure not to make too much noise as they made it past the shop. They made it to the seas below the Jolly Roger where they placed Julidine. Azira held her mother for a while until she began to turn her usual color. She woke up after a while. She blinked her eyes to adjust to the light and once she did, she looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Thank you, Azira," Judinine smiled before trying to sit up. "Help me, please."

Azira and Harison pushed her mother up on her bottom as Julidine took a deep breath.

"Thanks, I-"

"Harry!" A voice called out. "Tie him up."

"Uma," Azira whispered before looking at her mother. "Mom, go down under, please. Harison and I will hide."

Judinine nodded and went down into the water as Harison pulled Azira to the nearest pole to hide from Uma and the pirates.

"If Mal doesn't come at noon, hook him," Uma told Harry.

That must've made him very happy since he started laughing loudly. "Oh ho ho, Mr. Beasty! Ye hear that? Only have an hour left for yeh!"

Harison pulled Azira closer to his chest. "We have to warn Mal and the others. But how?"

They were silent for a moment until they all heard a crack. Azira and Harison looked at each other, wondering if it was them, but then they heard the pirates all yelling and Uma screaming orders to repair the ship.

Judinine popped back up from the water.

"I bought you two about three minutes of run time. Go," she ordered.

The two nodded as they ran out of the Jolly Roger and back to the hideout, where they heard a ton of yelling. Azira threw a rock at the sign and the two rushed inside to see Carlos being held back by Jay and Mal with Eliott on the ground.

"I swear I will hurt you!" he yelled. "Where is she?"

Evie looked over at the entrance to see Azira and Harison. "Azzy!"

Evie ran to her best friend and hugged her tightly. Mal did the same while Jay kept on holding Carlos who kept struggling under Jay's weight.

"Carlos, Carlos," Azira said, trying to calm him down. "It's okay, I'm here."

Carlos looked at Azira and slowly calmed down. The older girl sighed as the younger boy hugged her. Jay did the same.

"He-he left you in the Castle of the Wicked! What would've happened to you if you hadn't come when you did?"

"Carlos, I told him to leave," Azira said. "We all know the Castle of the Wicked is a bad place, it's not for an Ak like him. I switched his places so I could take his place but Harison rescued me before I could. And plus, I found my mother."

"You found Judinine?" Haidee asked. "I thought she was dead."

"I thought so too, but she wasn't and I saved her a few minutes ago and she did the same to us."

Haidee sighed.

"Okay, now that that's out of the way," Mal said. "I visited Uma at Ursula's shop, as discussed and she said that to give us Ben, she wants Fairy Godmother's magic wand to set her and all of the Vks as well as their parents free from the isle."

"What?" she asked. "Well, I would want the children of the Villains to be free, but not the villains themselves, can we do something about it?"

"That's what we're trying to figure out," Mal told Azira.

Harison stepped forward. "Uh, can we create a diversion? A fake wand?"

Jay snapped his fingers. "The 3d printer. A fake wand. Yes!"

"But if we give the fake wand to Uma she'll know it's fake," Evie told them.

"Then we have to get out as quickly as possible with Ben," Azira explained.

"But how are we going to keep them from following us?" Carlos asked.

"Create a distraction," Eliott mentioned.

"Smoke bombs?" Haidee questioned.

"Yes!" Azira said. "And we can get them from Lady Tremaine's parlor."

"Exactly!" Evie said before walking to Mal. "Fire hair by the way."

"I know right?" Azira said. "It's so soft!"

"And nicely kept," Haidee mentioned.

"You wanna know something?" Mal asked. "Dizzy did this."

"Little Dizzy?" Evie asked.

"Shut up!" Azira said, impressed. "She did such a great job!"

"I know, it's much lighter!"

"So cute."

"I wish she had time to do mine."

"Right? This is so good!"

The boys gathered around each other as Jay nudged Carlos. "Hello?" the four girls looked at them as Carlos reminded the girls that they were there."

Azira smiled. "Oh, right," she cleared her throat. "So, Jay, Eliott, Carlos, you three go back to Auradon to 3D print the wand while Haidee, Mal, Evie, and I go to Tremaine's Parlor to get the smoke bombs. Everyone got it?"

"Yes ma'am!" everyone said as Jay, Eliott, and Carlos grabbed their things and walked downstairs to get ready to go to Auradon while the girls grabbed a few bags to pack the smoke bombs in.

Azira went to grab a bag when she noticed Harison sitting down on the couch. She walked to him.

"Hey, Harison?" Azira asked, grabbing the son of Han's attention. "I just wanted to say, thank you. For saving me from the castle, though I'm sure if Elisia found you she would tear you to shreds."

Harison chuckled. "Don't worry, darling," he smiled. "It was worth it to see that you are okay."

Azira raised an eyebrow. "I just realized this. Are you still in love with me?"

Harison shrugged. "Maybe I am," he told her. "Maybe I'm not. You'll never know."

Azira chuckled. "Well then," she smiled before bending down to kiss him on his cheek. "If I'm still single by the end of all this, I might just let you ask me out."

Harison laughed. "I'm gonna take you up on that offer, Mrs Julidine."

Azira laughed before following Mal, Evie, and Hadiee, smiling at him as she left.
