This is going to be a long chapter, sorry y’all.

The VK’s take their bikes and they stop by the water, as Liv is clutching Carlos. As she has a fear of water, as she had since she was a little girl as Audrey had pushed her in and ever since she’s been scared.

“Noble steed, proud and fair you shall take us anywhere.” Mal says as her eyes turn green as she’s saying the spell.

Meanwhile

Meanwhile at Liv’s supposed birthday party, Audrey showed up and then put everyone to sleep beside Chad, who wanted to join her. As Anna and Avery are sharing a cupcake and Jane is on the phone with Ben.

“No, no, stay where you are. Ben. Audrey’s got the scepter and the crown and everyone’s asleep. I’m gonna call Mom and tell her to get the wand.” Jane says quickly before hanging up.

“Is Mal, or the others with you? Jane? Jane?” Ben says to an empty phone line with no answer and a lot of worry for Mal and the others.

“Hey, I’m me again.” Mal says out of joy before touching her hands and hair.

“Duh. Evil magic doesn’t work here. Kind of the point.” Celia says before walking off as Carlos has a grip on Liv’s hand.

“Welcome back.” Evie and Liv say in unison before we walk to a door which is something French, before Celia knocks to a certain beat.

Liv found it catchy, someone on the other side knocked the same beat before Celia did another beat before smiling at us as the door opened.

“Hey!” Dr. Facilier calls, seeing Celia, and she runs towards her father. “Daddy!” 

“Here she is.” Dr. Facilier says as he picks her up before setting her down. “Come on, and…and…” They do their little dance which causes Mal and Liv to smile at the two. Dr. Facilier taps her cheeks before Celia picks up his hat and tries to run with it.

“Hey yeah. Come here you little rascal.” He says pulling her into a hug. Celia and Dr. Facilier walk away as the others look around at the large arcade. Liv is in awe of the place but she wants to walk around but she ends up following Carlos instead.

“Isn’t that an old TV?” Liv says pointing out to the TV as her and Carlos walk to it, and he puts a coin in it causing it to play. 

“Alerts of the sleeping spell keep coming in as it spreads throughout Auradon.” The report on the TV says.

“Uh, guys. You might want to come here.” Carlos says to the others as he and Liv sit next to each other on the chair.

“There are rumors that Sleeping Beauty’s daughter, Audrey, is behind the spell. We’re trying to discover who is responsible for these vicious lies, and which villain has perpetrated this evil. We have an update? It’s what? It’s moving this way? It’s moving this way.” The reporter says as they all watch it in shock. 

Mal nods her head at the group which told the group they were ready to leave. They got outside and then they stopped in their steps at seeing Harry, Gil, Uriah and some other pirates.

“Wow. Rookie mistake?” Carlos says as they walk out.

“Long time nae see, losers!” Uriah ays as the other pirates take off.

“Get off my bike, Uriah.” Jay says as Uriah was on his bike as Carlos, Evie, Liv and Jay rushed after the bikes.

For someone who is running in heeled boots Liv is doing pretty good, considering that even if she doesn’t know her way around the isle she had managed to find a scooter and stole it and drove off behind Uriah. See, even Sleeping Beauty’s daughter can steal a scooter.

“Come on, Princess!” Uriah says taking a sharp turn as Liv does the same to the girl as she knows what Uriah is trying to do. Cut her off but Liv has her own plan.

It’s called not dying. Correction: she actually doesn't have a plan. 

Liv takes a random short cut and people move out of the way as Evie had found Liv and she hopped onto the blonde’s bike. Liv sees a bridge. 

“JUMP!!!” Liv says and the two of them do just that they jump and miraculously the bike is still moving and the two girls get back on, and drive off after Uriah and the rest of the pirates.

–

Meanwhile, Mal and Celia are heading towards Hades’ lair to get the ember. They finally got there and there were multiple signs.

“Hey. How big is that dog?” Mal asks Celia as she notices the big Beware of Dog! Sign.

“You’ll see.” Celia says as she unlocked the gate. “Okay, stay quiet, it echoes like crazy in here.” Celia says as Mal has a concerned look before going after Dr. Facilier’s daughter.

The two of them walked inside hearing the loud barking and growling coming out of nowhere before Mal took a deep breath. “Come on, come on.” Celia says as she hands Mal a helmet before tuning the light on her own.

Mal turns on her light before going on their bike going down the rail with Celia. Mal looks and she sees a glowing blue light hearing loud barking again.

The barking was only louder when they reached where Hades was sleeping in his chair with another person who was using his arm as a pillow.. Mal follows Celia down the stairs where Hades was. Barking could be heard again causing Mal to look around before Celia points to a record player with a smile.

Mal starts walking to the ember before Celia stops her telling her to walk in different directions before Mal stops and walked in a different direction of Hades.

Soon, Celia grew tired of the record player and moves the player causing it to scratch, and a yelp could be heard. Mal and Celia turn to see a girl who is about Mal’s age with the same hair as Hades with Hazel brown eyes.

“What the butt man?!” The girl says as she sits up as she only sees Celia and not Mal.

“What are you doing here, Celia?” The girl asks Celia as Mal freezes in her steps. 

“I noticed you and your Dad were low on canned corn.” Celia says before tossing the girl the can that was in her hand.

Mal grabs the ember but her hand is quickly grabbed by the girl which causes her to gasp. The girl took the ember as she turned to Mal as does Hades.

“Hi, Dad.” Mal says as Celia looks at her with a shocked look as Hades takes off his sunglasses and waved at Mal.

“Quite the show you put on the other day.” Hades says as Mal says sarcastically. “Right back at you.”

“I was just coming back to see you.” Hades says as Mal asks. “Really, wonder why? Is it because I’m becoming Queen?”

“Now, Mal, don't be bitter.” The girl says to Mal as the purple haired girl turns to her as Mal says. “You abandoned me when I was born.”

“No, no. I left your mother. She’s not the easiest person to get along with.” Hades corrects Mal.

“You think?” Mal asks with a slight eye roll. 

“Oh. See? We have something in common: we both hate your mother.” Hades says putting on a scarf.

“No! I don’t hate my mother. She may be an evil lunatic, but at least she stuck around.” Mal argues with Hades.

“Aww. Boo-hoo. Wake up and smell the stink. You think you’ve had it rough? I used to be a GOD! I had an entire world which bore my name and now I have nothing, you have no idea what that feels like.”

“Really?! Because for 16 years I had nothing!” Mal says as she’s about to lose it with her father.

“Whatever.” Hades says to Mal which angers her only more.

“Unless I get that ember, it’s game over.” Mal says walking over to Hades holding her hand out wanting to get the ember. “Oh really, like he’s going to give you that thing. Nice try.” Hazel says as Mal looks at the girl, and then she turns back to Hades.

“Hold please.” Hades says before Mal could say anything as she just looks at him in shock.

Song: do what you gotta do
Performed by: Hades, Mal and Hazel
Originally sung: Cheyenne Jackson and Dove Cameron

Hades: Listen little girl
You’re talking to a god
And I don’t wanna hear that drama
Kindness ain't my brand

Mal: Oh, I guess, that’s why you ran

Hades: try being married to your momma!

Mal: You stink at being a Dad

Hades: Poor Mali…are you sad?

Mal: Not as sad as you without your powers
I didn’t come to fight
For once do something right!

Hades: I steal souls
Were you expecting flowers?

Mal: I only need you ‘cause I came here for something

Hades: I’ve given you everything
By giving you nothing!
I did what I had to do

Mal: No, you only did what’s best for you

Hades: Well, you can learn a thing or two
When push comes to shove
You Do What You Gotta Do, yeah

Mal: You were never there
Guess you don’t have a phone
You never called to say, ‘I miss you’

Hades: Are you kidding? Is this a joke?
You need to let it go
You’re stronger with those daddy issues

Mal: Oh thank you

Hades: show me some respect
It ain’t easy to neglect
My attention would’ve made you softer

Mal: Uh-uh! Should I be proud?
Don’t turn this thing around

Hades: I guess you are your father’s daughter

Mal: Don’t think I need you
I just came here for something

Hades: I’m giving you everything, by giving you nothing

Mal: I did what I had to do
I made it on my own, no thanks to you

Hades: Well, you can learn a thing or two
When push comes to shove
You do what you gotta do
How ‘bout I go with you and we spend some time?

Mal: How ‘bout you stay here ‘cause you’re out of your mind!

Hazel: thank you

Hades: let’s make new memories, you can show me the town

Mal: No, you can keep your memories now

Hazel and Hades: Get over it

Mal: I am over it!

Hazel: Now, no need to be bitter

Hades: Haz, please.

All: I’m over you being over it!

Hades: Let’s dance!
Mal and Hades: I did what I had to do
No, you only did what’s best for you
Well, you can learn a thing or two
When push comes to shove, you do-
When push comes to shove, you do-
When push comes to shove, you do–
What you gotta do

Hades: ha!

They finished their song and looked at one another as Mal panted before saying. “Do you wanna make up for being a lousy Dad?” She turns to him before finishing. “Give me the ember.” She says holding her hand out once more.

“The ember only works for me and Hazel.” Hades says pointing to the girl who was sitting in a chair the entire time as Mal argued back. “No, it’ll work for me also, we’re blood.”

“You are only half Hades. Hazel on the other hand…”. Hades says as Hazel has a smirk on her face, as she is Hades’ blood but only Mal is half.

“The ember won’t do everything for you as it will for Hazel or me.” Hades says, sighing, as Hazel fixes her bracelet that’s on her left wrist as it has different colors of skulls on it. All are the same shade of color as her outfit.

“Nice try Miss Plum.” Hazel says as Hades just smirks at his daughter as she’s as sarcastic as he is, no wonder where she gets her sarcasm from. 

“I’ll take my chances.” Mal says to him with a smirk as he holds it up, but Hades gave Hazel the ember instead of Mal obviously having favoritism between the two girls. “If it gets wet, it’s game over.” Hades calls out to Mal as her and Hazel are walking out.

Mal only waves in response as Hades says. “Those are my girls.” He says with a smile that once Mal was long gone with Hazel and Celia, he turns to a photo of Mal and baby Hazel on his desk as he has a soft smile.

“I guess that’s the reason why he’s always asking about you.” Celia says leading the way out which causes Mal to stop dead in her tracks.

“Evie is the only one who knows he is my Dad.” Mal tells Celia as she nods head in understanding.

“As far as I know he doesn’t even exist.” Mal says, leading Celia and Hazel back to the others.

“Guess now that it makes sense.” Celia says as Hazel takes a deep breath to stay calm knowing that they are going back to Auradon.
