audrey and i were on the red carpet, again why must they have one like who are they trying to impress? we kept posing for each photographer as they screamed at us how much they loved our outfits. well we do look amazing so i don't blame them. i was finally beginning to feel much better as we walked to the ship. haven't i been on enough ships today though?

music was already playing as we got on, everyone had arrived except princey and mal. go figure they're still introducing her as a lady of the court. okay don't think about that val, just be here for audrey. she's so excited for tonight and she's trying to make sure i'm happy too, and that's all that matters really. as the music continued to play, audrey and i began to dance like fools, though i couldn't help but notice how lonnie was looking at me. i forgot she was on the isle too. i should probably go explain.

"i'll be right back." i tell audrey and she nods as she continues to dance with the girls from the cheer squad that had joined us. i walk over to lonnie and she backs up. again, i do not blame her. "hey lonnie, i know what you're thinking. 'why is he back if he was ready to kill us all?' isle val is totally differently from auradon val. i was just caught up in the heat of the moment, plus i'd never hurt my friends." lonnie thought about it for a second before speaking.

"what about mal? you seemed ready to hurt her." well valid point. "well yeah but mal's not my friend, she hurt me and i was seeking revenge. don't worry though, i'm not going to hurt anyone. really, you can trust me. if you don't that's totally fine, i hope you can enjoy your evening without feeling like me being here ruins it." i smiled hoping she could understand.

"yeah evie told me what happened, i get why your mad. i guess i was just surprise to see that side of you, i'll see you out there though. save me a dance why don't you." we both laughed and quickly went back to our dates. as i reached audrey the music cut and everyone stopped dancing. trumpets began to blow as lumière stood at the top of the steps.

"the future lady mal." audrey and i walked closer as we knew princey was about to come out too. i looked down at my ring and wondered if what princey said on the isle was true. whatever happens now, i know it's not him. it's that stupid fucking cookie that was given to him by they fucking witch. as mal came down to join the rest of us, the trumpets began to play again. it's his time, princey is up.

"king benjamin." i couldn't help but applaud with the rest of the crowd as princey walked out. he looked amazing, my heart ached as he looked down at us. he began to walk down the steps and we all bowed our heads for his highness. "mal, i wish i had time to explain." princey said as he bowed in front of mal. what was that suppose to mean? everyone's attention went back to the top of the stairs and out came...

uma?! what? what is she doing here? how did she get here? how long has she been here? why didn't she come look for me? i have so many questions and my heart is just out of control right now. what is going on? what is about to happen? did she change her mind?

"sorry. it all happened so fast. something happened to me when i was on the isle with uma. a connection." what? a connection? i can't breath, why can't i breath? i felt audrey grab a hold of my hand and she squeezed it. i can't, no this can't be fucking happening again. i felt another hand on mine and saw that it was evie's. of course it was, she knows exactly what i'm feeling.

"it was love. it was. i just.. i realized how alike ben and i are, you know?" this isn't uma, she doesn't giggle and blush like a school girl. "it was." uma turned to look at me and smiled. "hey v." how could she? how? okay don't cry val, just leave. leave because what's the point of staying? princey doesn't want you, it's been made clear so many times.

instrumental music began to play and the happy couple started to waltz. as they danced jane rushed up to lumière and told him to reveal something. "and now, for the unveiling of king ben's masterpiece, designed especially for his lady." everyone turned to look at whatever his fucking masterpiece was. the curtain fell and revealed a stain glass window of princey and mal. great! could this day get any better? i'm so ready to jump off of this fucking ship.

princey walked closer to it before turning around to face us. "jane i thought i told you to get rid of it! destroy it now!" what? this is all just getting confusing and out of hand. everyone gasped and uma walked closer to fairy godmother. "you heard him! destroy it! i uh... i mean... why don't you tell everyone the present you have for me, ben?" princey walked over to uma and smiled.

"i have an announcement! uma will be joining the court today as my lady. so as my gift to her, i'm bringing down the barrier once and for all. fairy godmother. bring down the barrier." fairy godmother shook her head. "i most certainly will not." "i am you king!" "obey him." okay now wait a second, this wasn't like princey. well one time it was him, but not usually.

"he's been spelled!" mal yelled to the crowd and everyone gasped. "oh so when i do it it's bad, but when you did it to steal the wand it was okay? make up your mind people! you don't want her as your lady of the court!" things are escalating too quickly and i don't want to be here anymore.

mal walked over to princey and talked about love and what not. i felt evie's hand squeeze mine as hard as she could, she was hurting. and she was crying too. mal kissed princey, because after all true love kiss works every time. i hate this, i hate this so much. i wish i had stayed on the isle because then i wouldn't be in so much pain right now.

"mal... why would you kiss me? haven't i made it clear? i don't love you, i love uma." everyone gasped at his words. so your telling me it didn't work? why didn't it work? princey doesn't love mal does he? both audrey and evie let go of my hand as mal backed away from princey. "do it!" audrey whispered for me. "do it val." i didn't want to because i would only get hurt by doing so, but my heart longed for him. something was pushing me to him, and i couldn't stop it.

"princey?" he turned to look at me and i hesitated for a second. i looked at uma and frowned. she did all this for the children, and if i kiss him and it actually works... i'll be taking it all away. i placed my hands on his cheeks and pulled him in for a kiss. i felt tears leave my eyes as everyone gasped. what? they've never seen a boy kiss another boy. to my, and everyone's, surprise he kissed back.

"val... you love me?" i let out a breath i was holding in for who knows how long. "pfft of course not." i laughed through my tears, i do this so much it just feels so normal. "i love you too." he wrapped his arms around me and my tears finally didn't feel like sad tears. "just promise to stop letting yourself get spelled so many fricking times. my heart can't handle so much pain."

"ugh give it to me!" i turned around and saw uma try to get the wand. no uma... "guards! seize her!" fairy godmother yelled. "no!" princey let me go and i ran to uma. she however ran to the railing of the ship instead. "uma wait! stop! everyone just stop!" i ran after her again making sure no one hurt her.

"uma please wait! you're one of my best friends, i know you better than anyone. you're not a villain, i know you're just trying to help the isle kids. i promised to be on your side all the time, and here i am on your side. you just need to come back to this side. our side. please, we can work this out." she just stared at me as her shell necklace began to glow. without another thought she turned around and jumped off of the ship. "no!"

the water was glowing and soon it began to swirl. we all looked to see what was about to happen, and i was ready to jump in. the water rose and soon we were all splashed with sea water. the sound of thunder came out of nowhere and when we turned around we saw what had happened. uma became her mother, part human part octopus.

"true loves kiss won't defeat this val! the world will know my name!" she began to use her tentacles things to try to attack us. how could she? "you're a traitor val! a traitor! you were one of us and now look at you. you're weak, you're not one of us anymore. no matter how hard you try! you let love get in the way of who you were. of who you could've become. your mother was one of greatest, and you can't even live up to her name. just because you wave a sword around and threaten to hurt people doesn't mean you're one of us again. i knew it from the moment you came back, you ran away from your problems because that's what you're good at! go and run away again! let's see who can save your precious home now!"

i felt an anger inside of that i have never felt before. i guess with everything going on today i just couldn't keep it in anymore. my breathing got heavy and that's when i felt something inside me go off. soon smoke was surrounding me as i began to transform? "you wanna fight hearts? well come and get me!" i was a dragon? i? how? how is this possible? i have so many questions but i should probably put this to good use. most importantly, ew i've become what i've come to hate so much.

i flew off of the ship and flew above the water. i began to spit fire at uma, but truth be told i didn't want to hurt her. she's been my friend since forever, or at least it felt like forever. she was able to avoid all the fire coming her way and i was able to avoid all the hits coming my way. then a roar was heard from the ship. from the corner of my eye i saw princey jump overboard. why? why princey why?

"val! stop! back down." princey why on earth would you jump in! "what are you gonna do ben? splash me?" uma laughed as she teased princey. "this has got to stop. this isn't the answer." he's right, but if she wants a fight then a fight is what i'll give her. i've let enough people walk all over me. "the fighting has got stop. nobody wins this way. we have to listen and respect each other." princey words never fix anything. but neither does fighting fire with fire.

"it won't be easy, but let's be brave enough to try. uma, i know you want what's best for the isle. help me make a difference. help us make a difference." uma looked at princey then at me. "i'm sorry things came to this val, but i can't rely on empty promises." uma! well i can't really speak so it came off as more of a snarl.

"bye hearts, even after everything just know your mom is in good hands." i knew uma wasn't evil, i know the real uma and that's her. the one that's leaving. i wish she didn't have to, out of all people, i can forgive her the easiest. as uma swam away ben was being helped back up to the ship. i flew down and felt myself transform back. i guess having a parent who's a god comes in handy for shapeshifting. i wonder what other animals i could shapeshift into.

i felt nervous as everyone stared at me. audrey rushed over to the bottom of the stairs and i didn't hesitate to join her. "so, i didn't know i could do that." i laugh. "tell me about it. that makes two of us." audrey held my hand and laughed. "shall we?" "we shall." she walked me over to princey, should i start calling him by his name now?

"hey." he stared at me, something i didn't know i would miss so much. he didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around my waist and pull me in for a kiss. now, now, princey people are watching. still, i didn't hesitate to kiss back either. we pulled apart and he held my hand up. "you still have it on." of course i did. "should i take it off?" i asked jokingly. "no, never take it off."

"your hair, it's different?" it is? i haven't seen myself yet. "it's blue, just like-" i stepped on his foot. "shh, only we know that." i whispered. he nodded and kissed my forehead. "also your outfit, you look more like king of the isle than i do." i looked down and realized my outfit had also changed. a mix of auradon and vk style. i love it.

"princey, everyone's staring." i hid my face in his chest as the realization came back to me. "let them stare, the longer they stare the more they realize that i'm in love with you. i love you valentin, did i mention that?" i looked up at him, though i'm not that short, and kissed him. "just make sure you don't accept any more cookies from anyone. okay?" he laughed before picking me up and spinning me around.

"why is everyone so serious? it's a party, let's dance!" the music began to play again and everyone slowly began to enjoy themselves again. "mal, can we talk to you?" i furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as mal was the last person i wanted to see right now.

"mal why did you continue to spell me? what was the reason other than to hurt us?" she's sick and twisted, what else could explain it? "i guess i just wanted to be queen, i let my need for power get in the way of everything else. i didn't care who i hurt just so i could get what i wanted. i now realize how wrong i was. and how many relationships i have ruined." i take it she wasn't just talking about us but evie too. "i just hope you find it in yourselves to forgive me." ha as if.

"we do-" i cut princey off. "i'm sorry but i don't see myself forgiving you mal. you didn't just hurt us, but evie too. maybe she and ben can forgive you, but i can't. i went through hell watching you and ben do everything that should've been us. the amount of pain i went through, an apology can't make up for that." princey could get mad at me but i'm just being honest, i can't and won't forgive her.

"that's fine, i understand. i just hope one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me." she bowed before leaving to go talk to evie. "val, just think about it okay? but for now forget about that, theres something important i want to tell you." he brought me over to the railing so we could see the isle.

"i have asked the guards to go over to the isle and find your mother. once they locate her she'll be brought over and get treatment by the best doctors auradon has to offer." no way! did audrey actually beg for this? oh my gods?!? "did you really? oh my... oh my gods i love you! thank you so much! thank you so so fucking much. i will do whatever i can to repay you for this. i-" happy tears, happy tears streamed down my eyes as i threw myself at him.

"just be my official boyfriend, that's all i ask for." "oh of course princey. i'm yours and only yours."
