Later that Morning, Mal and Ben meet with Beast, Bell and Fairy Godmother about what happen yesterday.

{Mal}

"I think we all know why we're here." Beast started as he said "The people are in a panic about Hades. He almost got out."

Fairy Godmother added "Who knows what he would've done if he had escaped?"

"We can't risk having another villain on the loose." Beast told the two.

Mal added "I really feel like this is all my fault. - I'm supposed to protect Auradon." as she looked at Ben.

"You did. You did protect Auradon." Ben told her.

Beast said "Every time we open the barrier, we're exposed to danger. Maleficent. Uma. Or Hades."

"Maleficent's scepter and the queen's crown have been stolen. We don't know that, Dad." Ben said to his father.

"When the people hear this, they will never wanna leave their houses. What do we tell them? Mal... What do we do? How do we keep evil out of Auradon?" Belle asked.

"I think that there's only... one way to guarantee their safety. And I think that there... Can't be anymore going in and out. I think that we have to close the barrier. Forever." Mal said making a big decision.

"No.." Ben said as Beast said "Son..."

"No."

"Ben ?"

"No no no."

"Ben? Hey. I do not want to take away your dream, Because it was so beautiful. And it is why I fell in love with you. But as king and his queen, what's our duty?"

"To protect Auradon. But you know what this would mean? All those kids? Are you prepared for that?"

"I know what it means. And, no. I'm not prepared for it. I just think that we have no other choice."

"Son... Mal's right."

"I just don't think that we would forgive ourselves if something terrible happened." Mal said holding back tears....
