Evie is a wizard at chemistry. These smoke bombs are almost done! Kids, don't try this at home.

Night fell on the Isle, and Valia,  Mal, and Evie had transformed the salon into a laboratory. They wore plastic gloves and stood beside the dye-streaked bathtub and percolating glass vials. The daughter of the evil queen and the nephew of the mother of dragons mixed vibrant powders as the daughter of Maleficent funneled them into the shower caps, which she tied off. Dizzy sat at her table, crafting her fashion accessory.

Evie picked up Dizzy's headband and held it over her head. "M, V, how amazing would this look with my shredded tee and heart purse?"  "Very amazing," they told her sincerely."Right?" asked Evie."Yeah," said the white-haired princess, who smiled. "Take it," Dizzy told Evie, standing. "Take a bunch!" "Dizzy!" squealed Evie, overjoyed at her generosity. Dizzy grabbed a handful of barrettes, headbands, and wraps from her table and raced to Evie, who held open her red purse."Thank you," said Evie.

"It would make me so happy to know you were wearing something of mine in Auradon," said Dizzy. "Almost like me being there myself."Evie pulled Dizzy in for a hug and sighed. "I wish I could take you with me." "At least one of us had her dream come true, right?" said Dizzy with a smile. Mal dropped the last shower-cap smoke bombs into her backpack alongside her trusty old spell book. "E, V, we gotta go."Evie and Dizzy looked at each other again; then, Dizzy bowed and skipped back to her table. Evie could barely take her eyes off Dizzy. But when valia came up to her and grabbed her hand, the evil queen's daughter sighed and walked off. 

Let's hope this will work. How I would see the face of Uma if I got angry, she and her petty little squad would cower! Ha! that would be a good sight.

Valia, Mal, and Evie made their way through the decrepit alleys of their childhood.Her arm linked with Mal's and Valia,  Evie smiled at her friends as they walkeddown a dark lane. "Do you remember coming here while our moms foughtover the best way to poison a princess?" "Yeah! Apple or spindle? That one was epic. That went on for actualdays." Mal chuckled, making valia smile at her. she hadn't been here with them that day, but she had heard about it when she was checking the different territories. "As it mattered, right?" said Evie. "They were both undone by TrueLove's Kiss." love's Kiss.""Works every time," said Evie and Mal in unison, breaking intolaughter.

Evie then nudged valia "you got any story to tell us about your life on the isle?" she asked as the three girls slowed in front of the entrance to the bridge hideout. Valia sighed and turned to face Evie and Mal. "well, I always heard about everything that happened here. But the best story I can tell is when I saw that fight between you, mal," she nodded towards mal "and Uma. It was cute, really" Mal raised a brow in surprise, and Evie gasped "wait, how long have you been here?" she asked. The white-haired girl shrugged "as long as you two. I just kept to myself, never seeing the possibility to gain friends where none would care. I'm the nephew to a great queen, but that didn't stop king Beast from standing me off." valia sighed and then turned to Mal,'

"I thought you and Ben had real love," she glanced at Evie, who smiled softly, then back at Mal. "Do you want to talk about it?" Valia's eyes glimmered in carefulness and soft love. Mal's smile vanished as quickly as it had arrived. "I'm not comingback, guys" the two girls who shared a tremendous different hair color looked long and hard at the daughter of maleficent and unhooked their arms to face Mal. "I can't," said Mal. "I tried to tell you," she said as she addressed Evie. Evie sighed and leaned against a support beam. Valia slung her arm around Mal again. 

"as always, choose your heart's path, my dragonet. I will accept any offer you make," the white-haired princess said and stepped back to Evie, touching her shoulder in a comforting manner. "it's okay." she said and stood and listened to Evie and mal talk. "I...just...I don't know," said Mal. "I saw your face and how it lit upand how thrilled you were that first day that we went into ourrooms, and I couldn't—I could not spoil that for you." Valia chuckled softly as she rememberedwhen she, Mal e, and Evie had first entered their dorm room at Auradon Prep. Atthe sight of the room, dappled in sunlight, with the floral curtainsfluttering gently in the fresh breeze, Evie had squealed with delight as shetook in their new home. But Evie had tried to hide her excitement to matchMal's disgust, and the three o of them together had closed the frilly pinkcurtains and plunged the dorm into darkness. Valia knew that if Evie and Mal were to follow their hearts, what the evil queen's daughter wanted was light, while what teh daughter of Malcesfinet wanted was...

Evie sighed. "Well, I'm staying with you if you're staying here.""No," said Mal, wincing. "Evie—you are an Auradon girl. And I am,and will always be, the girl from the Isle." Mal picked up a rock, chucked itat the sign, and gestured for Evie and Valia to follow her into the hideout. Theyducked under the gate.

the three girls climbed the flights of steps. Evie stopped on a landingand looked out over the Isle. Mal and Valia stood beside her at the railing. Theylooked at each other, taking a moment to accept that, in the end, theybelonged in different worlds. Each of the girls l knew in her heart that they'd still be with each other in spirit when the day finally came for them to partways. They'd know then that they'd meet again.Even if it was in the space between.

You will always be with us, Mal, even if you're not here, just like we will always be here for you in your heart. My little dragonet.
