We planned to go to Fairy Cottage at night so Audrey won't be expecting us, all of us silently crept towards it and managed to go inside.

Jay searched the upstairs and the rest searched downstairs.

"She's not upstairs." Jay said when he walked down the stairs.

There was a thud and we looked at the door by the corner. Ben went to open it to reveal Chad hugging his knees.

"Chad?" Ben asked, looking at the shaking Charming. "I want my mommy.." He replied, staring at nothing.

Ben was about to help him up but Chad flinched at the action. "It's okay." Ben softly said, gently helping him up on his feet. "What happened, buddy?"

Chad looked around at us cautiously as if we were the bad guys.

Chad then stopped to look at his friend, "Ben? Ben! Your face.." He then looked back at us, "She's gone, huh?"

He turned to the front doors and said, "The door's open, I'm free. I'M FREE!"

Chad ran pass us and out the door, we looked at his retreating form in confusion.

What made him go bonkers?

Harry was the only one who laughed and we made our way out of the cottage.

So much for the planning.

"Alright, let's get this Audrey chick taken care of already. What do you say, girl? Time to wrap things up?" Uma turned to Mal and they fist-bumped.

I guess they bonded when we were gone.

Ben wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. "You, someday, you're gonna tell me how you guys all teamed up."

"Actually, Mal promised to let all the kids off the Isle once this is over." Evie said, all of us smiling but I feel Mal isn't.

She then stopped walking and turned back to us with an apologetic expression. "I have to tell you guys something..."

All of us stopped walking and looked at her.

"Um... I lied to you." Mal admitted, making us look at her confused. "The kids won't be coming off the Isle."

"What do you mean?" Jay asked, speaking out the question everyone's thinking about.

"The program's shut down. And the barrier will be closed for good." Mal continued, looking down at the ground.

I looked at Harry and grabbed his hand, he looked back down at me with the same sad expression.

"For Auradon's safety." Ben added, making us look at him.

"Hold up, so we're saving your precious people and your behinds for a lie?" Uma asked, walking towards Mal.

She shook her head, "I know it was a mistake to trust you, you're always out for yourself."

Harry then turned to Ben, "And you! King Ben eh?"

He let go of my hand and he stopped beside Ben, looking away.

"You're probably gonna throw us back inside. And I won't ever see (Y/N) again.."

Harry then looked back at me and slowly walked towards my direction.

Celia walked over to Mal, "You know what?"

All of us turned to her as she continued. "I actually thought you were brave but you're nothing but a chicken. Truth is you're gonna tell me I was never gonna see my dad again."

"Celia..." Mal started but Celia grabbed the ember from her hands and threw it in a nearby bird bath.

She walked away as the bird bath sparked for a second and Mal hurried to grab it.

"Regain your might and ignite!" Mal shouted but nothing happened.

I felt Harry gently grab my hand and led me towards Uma.

"We're going back to the Isle together, you can stay at our old hangout and I'm gonna be with you everyday. But if you don't want to, I'm not gonna force you." He whispered as we stopped next to his captain.

I stared at him and pecked his lips. "I'm going with you." I whispered back, earning a small smile from him.

He kissed the top of my head and we waited for Uma's call if we're going to walk away or stay for a bit.

"Regain your might and ignite!" Mal shouted again, desperately looking at the ember in her hands.

She looked at Uma for help, but Uma just looked at her shell necklace then back at Mal. "Bummer."

Mal looked at Uma in disbelief while Uma turned to Harry and said, "Let's go find Gil and leave them all to rot."

The two of them walked away and I followed them. I heard my friends' quiet calls and I went to look behind my shoulder but Harry wrapped his arm around me so I have slight difficult to see them.

We were now out of the woods when Uma turned to me with a small smile, I looked at her nervously because it was the first time I saw her smile.

"Welcome to the crew, Pan." She said, making me smile.

"Thanks, captain." I said and felt Harry hug me sideways tighter, I looked up at him and smiled at eachother.

We now arrived at the school grounds and heard a voice calling Uma, we looked at the owner and saw Mal running towards us.

"Uma, stop! Please stop!"

She ran infront of us and we stopped in our tracks, "I need your help."

Uma was about to walk past her but Mal blocked her and continued, "We have a chance if we do this together."

"Your friends kicked you to the curb? Good." Uma replied.

Mal admitted, "Ben saw something in you and today, Uma, I saw it too! You care! Uma, you care about everybody. And Auradon is worth saving. Help us... Please."

"You talk pretty, but she already made up her mind." Harry said, looking at Mal then at his bestfriend.

"You brought this on yourself, Mal. You figure out how to fix it. Let's go." Uma slapped Harry's chest and walked past Mal.

Mal looked at me with pleading eyes, but I don't know how to help her. Harry and I followed Uma, not looking back at her.

After a few minutes of walking, we heard something roaring. The three of us saw Mal's dragon form flying in the sky, making us run back towards underneath her.

We saw Audrey at the top of the castle and I guess she has Celia captive, making Mal angry.

I saw Mal breathe fire to the ember in her hand but nothing seemed to happen.

"She doesn't stand a chance without the ember!" I said, looking at Uma.

Mal got zapped by Audrey and fell down but she managed to save herself from falling to the hard ground.

I saw Uma look at her shell necklace which was glowing.

"We're stronger together. We're stronger together! I'm right here, Mal! Regain your might and ignite! I'm right here, girl! I'm right here! Regain your might and ignite!" Uma shouted to Mal, making her eyes glow.

The ember began to glow again just like earlier, the three of us cheered.

Mal then flew back up towards where Audrey and Celia were while we watch what will happen.

Pink and blue light clashed, just like what happened in Harry Potter and Voldemort's duel at the end of the second wizarding battle.

Uma, Harry, and I cheered Mal on while we were on the ground.

Mal won and the three of us hugged eachother in happiness.

~~~

We were currently in Audrey's room and all of us waited for her to wake up like everyone else.

"She's slipping away." Evie said, making everyone look at her.

Mal exhaled through her nose and said, "There's only one person in the world who can might be able to do something about this and that's Hades."

"Hades?" Ben asked, making us turn our attention to him now. "He wouldn't do it and I wouldn't risk it."

"Actually he might do it for me, he's my father." Mal confessed, all of us looked at her in shock.

I didn't know Mal had both powerful parents.

Ben shuffled nervously, "Well I have to send guards to get him."

"Maybe I can hit you a ride." Uma suggested.

"The Isle is my home, someone needs to be there to protect it."

Harry and I walked towards her. "Well then you'll need your first mate." Harry said, putting her hands on her shoulders.

I smiled and held her hand, "You'll need me too."

"The Isle will be in good hands." Mal said, making the three of us smile at her.

"Can I go too?"

All of us turned to Celia. "I wish I can be in both places." She added, making me look down.

I wish I can too...

Mal stood up and faced us, "I really think Evie was right and I do think that we could have been friends." She admitted to Uma.

"And I'm really sorry that I lied to all of you guys. You deserve so much better than that." Mal then looked at all of us.

"You're just trying to do the right thing." Jay said.

"Yeah." Uma agreed.

Evie stood up and faced her bestfriend, "I get it."

After that, we all walked towards the front of the school where the limo is.

I felt a hand grab my arm, making me stop in my tracks.

I turned around to look at Harry who had a sad smile on his face.

"What is it, Harry? We're almost going to be together now, don't you want that?"

"I do want that, lass... But, I want you to be with your friends and I want you to have what's best for you. I already talked to them and they agreed but they also don't want you to be forced to stay here." Harry explained, rubbing his thumb back and forth.

"Harry, I already made up my mind. I'm going with the four of you back to the Isle." I protested but he stopped me from saying anything more by a sweet short kiss.

We pulled away, our lips slightly brushing with eachother.

"Please, just stop being stubborn for once and make me happy by staying here." He said with one last kiss and going in the limo.

I was about to take a step when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head to see my friends giving me sad smiles.

I turned my attention back to the limo as it starts to drive away, the tears fall down my eyes like a never-ending waterfall.

I cried onto the shoulder of the person next to me, which was Carlos as the others rubbed my back and comforted me while they ushered me inside.

Now I'm not going to see Harry ever again, I'm not paying Celia.

I knew it was too good to be true...
