Who's The Biggest Jerk In The Land?

Eleanor's POV

I watched with tears of joy as my boyfriend was named MVP of the team.

Christine looked at a smirking Audrey. "Are you sure she won't find out about me and Carlos?"

"I hope she doesn't." I faced my cousin with a look of concern.

Later on, Christine and I were eating lunch when I heard Evie talking to Doug. "For the first time, it's like I'm more than just a pretty face."

"A shocker, huh?" Doug asked.

Evie sat down next to Doug. "You were pretty great in there."

"So were you." He replied.

"I bet I can get an A on the next test without the mirror." Evie piped up.

"Maybe we can get together and we can hang out." Doug suggested.

"Yeah!" Evie replied with a smile. "Let's get together."

Just then, Carlos walked over to me. "Eleanor, can I talk to Christine real quick?"

"Sure." I replied.

Carlos took Christine behind a tree. I then heard Mal's voice. "There you are!" I turned around and saw her glaring at Evie.

"I've been looking for you literally everywhere!" Mal went on.

"What's wrong?" Evie asked.

"Ben just asked me out on... A date." Mal replied.

Carlos came out from behind the tree with Christine. "You know what's ironic about that, Mal? Carlos asked me out as well!" My cousin announced.

"Oh, nice." Mal remarked. "A double date."

I cleared my throat. "Hem, hem?"

"Oh, right, a triple date. I forgot that Jay asked Eleanor out at the tourney game." Mal corrected herself.

"We can handle this." Evie said. She turned to Doug. "Bye."

"Bye." Doug replied.

Mal, Christine and I walked off with Eve.

Mal's POV

I couldn't believe it. Ben had asked me out on a date. This was going to be my first. Eleanor went to her dorm with Christine while Evie and I went to ours.

At first I had asked Evie not to put on blush, but I eventually gave in.

"Hey!" I barked. "Easy on the blush. I don't want to scare him away. Not that I could."

"Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk. Always use upward strokes." Evie bragged.

"My mom was never really big on makeup tips." I said as Evie helped put on my lipstick. "I never had a sister."

"Well now you do." Evie replied with a smile. "We're going to need all the family we can get if we don't pull this off. My mother's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way. Just ask Snow White."

Of course you know that Snow White is Evie's stepsister. She was the one who bit into the poisoned apple.

"Are you afraid of her?" I asked.

"Sometimes. But still, she's my stepsister." Evie replied. "Are you afraid of your mom?"

"I just really want her to be proud of me." I smiled sadly. "She gets so angry with me when I disappoint her. And yeah, she's my mom. So I know she loves me... In her own way."

We stood up and I looked at myself in the mirror. Man did I look great! "Whoa..." I muttered.

"I know." Evie remarked.

I was at a loss for words. "I look..."

"Say it." Evie insisted.

"Not hideous." I replied with a laugh.

"Not even close." Evie agreed.

There was a knock on the door. I went to answer it. It was Ben. He was holding two helmets. He looked stunned when he saw me. "For the first time I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful."

I smiled. He held out a helmet. "I hope you like bikes."

I nodded and walked out the door with Ben. I was going on my first date!

Eleanor's POV

Christine and I entered my dorm to get ready for our dates. Both of us were going to wear short dresses, but Christine was wearing her favorite color, green, and I was wearing mine, blue.

We had run into Ben and Mal in the hallway. Ben had a request for Christine, so he had pulled her aside and asked her.

"Ben asked me to join the Glee Club." Christine told me. "And of course I said yes. We get to perform a hip hop version of 'Be Our Guest' at Family Day. I memorized the routine off the paper lickety split!"

"Family Day?" I asked. Christine must have heard of it, but I never did.

"Ben told me all about it. The parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings of the students here get to visit once a year." Christine explained.

"But dad and the other villains can't come because they're stuck on the Isle of the Lost." I grumbled.

Just then, Hoopa flew in, alongside a beautiful pink Pokémon.

"Hoopa, who's that?" I asked.

"This is Diancie, my long lost sister." Hoopa explained.

I shook Diancie's hand. "Nice to meet you, Diancie."

"Hoopa and I would like to go with you and Jay. Is that ok, Eleanor?" Diancie asked.

"Sure, but try and keep your distance unless told otherwise, ok?" I answered.

"Sure." Diancie replied.

Soon, Christine and I had our dresses and makeup on. "Christine, I can't believe we are leaving our childhood behind us."

Christine smiled at me. "Eleanor, when I was born, you were just a year old, but through your thoughts, you were able to tell Aunt Elsa-"

"-I'll take care of Christine." I finished.

"Everyone has a special place in the world. Together, we've been to the ends of the Earth. And I've had you, my sweet cousin." Christine went on. "Ellie, give me a task to do."

We began to sing.

Eleanor: Let's pretend we're riding on a kite. Let's imagine we're flying through the air.

Christine: We'll ascend until we're out of sight. Light as paper, we'll soar.

Eleanor: Let's be wild up high above the sand; feel the wind; the world at our command. Let's enjoy the view and never land.

Christine: Floating far from the shore.

Eleanor: Some things are meant to be. The clouds moving fast and free.

Christine: The sun on a silver sea.

Both: A sky that's bright and blue.

Eleanor: And some things will never end.

Christine: The thrill of our magic ride.

Eleanor: The love that I feel inside for you...

"My cousin." I then spoke. Jay opened the door. He gasped when he saw our outfits. "Wow..." He whispered.

I looked at him, smiling. I then looked back at my cousin.

Christine: We'll climb high beyond the break of day.

Eleanor: Sleep on stardust and dine on bits of moon.

Christine: You and I will find the Milky Way.

Christine: We'll be wild (Eleanor: We'll be mad)

Both: And explore.

Eleanor: We'll recline (Christine: We'll recline)

Both: Aloft upon the breeze.

Eleanor: Dart about... (Christine: Dart about...)

Both: Sail on with windy ease. Pass the days doing only as we please. That's what living is for...

Jay stepped in and walked towards me until he was behind me. I looked at him before looking back at Christine.

Eleanor: Some things are meant to be. The tide turning endlessly... The way it takes hold of me; no matter what I do.

Jay's arm reached around my chest and settled on my shoulder. I leaned into his arm.

Eleanor: Some things will never die; the promise of who you are. Your memories when I am far from you.

Christine grabbed my hands as if she was pleading for me not to go.

Eleanor: All my life... I've lived for loving you.

"Christine..." I whispered.

Eleanor: Let me go now.

As I sang those words, Christine let go of my hands. Jay and I walked out the door, followed by Diancie and Hoopa.

Christine's POV

The moment Eleanor and Jay left the room with Diancie and Hoopa, I cried.

As I sobbed, I heard Carlos's voice. "No, no, Christine, don't cry. It'll ruin your beautiful face."

I dried my tears and wiped my face before reapplying the makeup. "It's just hard for me to accept that Eleanor and I have left our childhood behind and we're almost adults."

Carlos came over to me, took my face in his hands and kissed me tenderly. "Christine, I don't like seeing you sad."

I smiled. "Ok."

Carlos held out his hand to me. I took it and we walked off into the forest.

As we walked, Carlos and I told each other about ourselves.

"Arendelle barely had any forests." I remarked.

"There aren't any forests on the Isle either." Carlos commented.

"I didn't know that." I exclaimed. "So I know the infamous Cruella De Vil is your mother. Who's your father?"

"I don't know. Every time I'd ask about him, Mum would beat me to a pulp and say that my father was an ingrate and he left me when I was born."

We stopped walking for a little bit. "That's sad." I frowned, a tear falling down my cheek. Carlos kissed it away.

"Christine, I don't want you to cry, remember?" He whispered into my ear.

"Right." I muttered in reply. We continued our walk.

"So, I'm an only child and I've lived in one place: Arendelle." I went on.

"Same here." Carlos remarked. "Only it was the Isle for me."

"I know!" I added. "Stupid barrier, right?"

"Yeah." Carlos replied. "At least Mom's not able to come here and force me to scrape the bunions off her feet. Anyway, what's your middle name? Mine's Edward, after the vampire in the Twilight movies."

"Mine's Iris, you know, after the flower." I replied. "And speaking of the Twilight movies, you remember the werewolf Seth Clearwater?"

"Yeah," Carlos answered.

"He reminds me of Jay." I went on.

"That's what I was thinking!" Carlos exclaimed.

I laughed. "Great minds think alike, huh?"

"Christine, there's a field of flowers nearby. Would you like to go there for a little bit?" Carlos asked.

"Sure." I replied. Carlos wrapped his arm around my waist as we continued our walk.

Eleanor's POV

"Eleanor, there's something I never told you." Jay told me as we walked through a meadow, nearing a hill.

"What is it, angel?" I asked.

"Before I came to Auradon, I heard a beautiful voice." Jay replied. "It wasn't until I heard you sing in Ariel's music class that the girl whose voice I heard was you."

I smiled. "You love me because of my voice and beauty, right?"

Jay smiled back. "Not just that. I also love you for who you are."

"I thought you felt that way." I commented. He then leaned in for a passionate kiss. The feeling of Jay's lips on mine was electric. It had always been that way.

"Hey, I got with Fairy Godmother and asked her about the ballroom over there. Maybe we could dance?" Jay suggested, pointing to the building on top of the hill.

"Sure, I'd like that." I replied. I turned to Hoopa. "Can you hang with Jay while Diancie gets me ready?"

"Of course!" Hoopa replied.

As we walked towards the hill, I stopped. Jay wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "Why so sad, my love?" He cooed in my ear. He pressed a kiss to the back of my neck. "Is it Chad again?" His warm breath hit my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"Yeah." I mumbled. "He hates me because I love you and you love me." I began to cry.

"Shh. I'm here. You're fine." He turned me around and kissed my tears away. "Forget it, all right?"

"Ok." I replied softly.

When we got to the ballroom, Diancie led me to the dressing room. I went in and took off my dress, putting it on a nearby hanger. I waved my hands and created a floor length baby blue glitter gown with my powers.

Hoopa secretly flew in and summoned a tiara with one of her rings. She left to go back with Jay.

Diancie then created some pink and blue diamonds and styled the tiara with it before putting it on my head. It fit perfectly.

The Jewel Pokémon squealed. "It looks AMAZING on you!"

"Thanks!" I replied.

"I'll get the music started." Diancie said before she left the room.

I went through a secret passageway that led to the grand staircase. Hoopa darkened the room and turned on the spotlight. Jay saw me and I descended the stairs.

As I reached the bottom, Jay walked towards me and Diancie started the music.

I recognized it immediately. It was Morning Prayer, a Kitaro song Mom would put on whenever I missed my father.

Jay pulled me into his body, resting his hand on my waist and taking my hand with his other.

We swayed across the dance floor, in sync with the music. I could see Diancie swaying from side to side in her spot, mesmerized by the beauty of the song.

Hoopa, on the other hand, was clapping silently to the beat.

As the dance ended, Jay pulled me into his body, holding me against his warm chest. He caressed my shoulders and I closed my eyes, losing myself in his touch. As his hands moved across my skin, a fiery feeling shot through my body. I wanted him to claim me as his. But I knew that right now, it wouldn't fly with mom.

"Best dance ever." I murmured.

Jay pressed his lips against mine in a soft, sweet kiss. When we pulled back, he whispered, "I loved it too."

Christine's POV

Carlos and I were out in an open field, laying down in the grass. I was curled up in his arms and he was running his fingers through my blonde hair.

"I love you, Christine." He kissed the top of my head. "So much."

He and I leaned in for a kiss and our lips were about to touch, until...

"CHRISTIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNEEE!" An angry voice yelled, making Carlos and I pull back.

Oh, no! It was Audrey! I panicked, but decided to play it cool. "Um... Hey, Audrey." I said sheepishly.

Audrey stomped over to us. "Christine, not you too! I thought you were better than this! Ok, that's it. We aren't friends anymore." She started to walk away.

"Audrey, wait!" I tried to call out.

"I don't want to hear it. Gravel for brains..."

"Fuzz face!" I yelled.

She turned and glared at me. "Thimble head!"

"Stinky breath!"

"Googly eyes!"

"Waxy ears!"

"UNIBROW!" We both screamed.

"Why did you ruin our first date?" Carlos demanded.

"It's none of your business!" Audrey snapped. "Why do I have to answer a villain's question? And Christine, you're turning into one yourself!"

I started to get angrier and angrier.

"You're turning into a villain by falling in love with one!" Audrey went on. "That's why we are never friends again. The only way to get this back is for you to break up with him."

"No!" I cried. "Audrey, enough! I love Carlos with all my heart, and he loves me!"

"I can find a way to send you to the Island ASAP." Audrey taunted.

That was it. My anger got too strong. "I... SAID... ENOUGH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. A gigantic jet of water shot from my hands and it hit Audrey, sending her flying into a pile of dirt and leaves.

"UUUUUGH!" A drenched and dirty Audrey screamed. "What have you done?! Someone's gonna pay for this!" She stormed off, disgusted and angry.

"Carlos, let's go to the Enchanted Lake. Our worries will fade there." I suggested.

"Christine, what happened?" Carlos asked.

"I think... I have water powers." I replied softly.

"How is that possible?" Carlos was worried. "Your mother and father don't have any powers."

"Maybe mom had powers all along!" I realized. "Well, enough said. Let's go to the Enchanted Lake."

Mal's POV

Ben and I were having a great time together. The scene was amazing. I decided that at some point, I was going to let him kiss me.

We were walking across a bridge. "Tell me about yourself that you've never told anyone." Ben started.

"Um," I replied. "My middle name is Bertha."

"Bertha..." Ben repeated.

"Yeah," I acknowledged. "Just my mom doing what she does best. Being really evil. Mal Bertha."

"Mine's Florian." Ben added.

"Florian?" I repeated as we looked down at the river below. "Very princely. Oh, that's almost worse."

"I mean, you know, it's better than Bertha."

Soon, Ben had me close my eyes. He had a surprise for me. I was pulled into his body and he rubbed my arms gently. "You ready?"

I nodded. When Ben asked me to open my eyes, I did so and I was amazed. This looked like paradise. He even prepared a picnic for just the two of us.

I really liked the jelly donuts. We didn't have any of these on the Isle. "Is this your first time?" Ben asked me.

"We don't really date much on the Island." I replied. "It's more like... Gang activity."

"I meant, is this your first time eating a jelly donut?" Ben clarified.

"Is it bad?" I questioned. We laughed before he wiped the crumbs off my lip.

"I really don't know that much about you." Ben spoke again. "Tell me something."

I sighed. "Well, I'm 16. I'm an only child, and I've only ever lived in one place."

Ben was surprised. "Me too! We have so much in common already!"

I laughed. "Trust me. We do not." After a little bit of silence, I spoke again. "And now you're gonna be king."

"A crown doesn't make you a king." Ben expressed his thoughts.

"Well, it kind of does." I challenged.

Ben laughed. "Your mother is Mistress of Evil and I've got the poster parents for goodness. But we're not automatically like them. We get to choose who we're gonna be. And right now, I can look into your eyes, and I can tell you're not evil. I can see it." He then stood up. "Let's go for a swim."

"What?" I asked. I've never gone swimming back on the Island. It was simply too dangerous, in my opinion. "I'm gonna stay behind and try a strawberry."

Ben went up to the cliffs. I ate a strawberry. It tasted really good. "Mal?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around. "Christine? What are you and Carlos doing here?"

"I had no idea you were here!" Christine replied. "Audrey bullied me, and guess what? I have water powers!"

Ben roared like the beast his father once was and jumped from the cliff. I laughed. "Christine, I'm not sure what to do."

"Yeah," Christine added. "Should I turn evil or follow my heart?"

We began to sing.

Mal: A million thoughts in my head. Should I let my heart keep listening?

Christine: 'Cause up till now I've walked the line. Nothing lost but something missing.

Mal: I can't decide what's wrong, what's right, which way should I go?

Mal and Christine: If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream? Uh-oh, yeah. If only I could read the signs in front of me. I could find the way to who I'm meant to be. Uh-oh. If only. Yeah!

Mal: Am I crazy? Maybe we could happen.

Christine: Yeah, will you still be with me when the magic's all run out?

Mal and Christine: If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream? Uh-oh. If only.

Christine: Yeah, if only.

Mal: Yeah, if only.

Mal and Christine: Yeah, if only. If only.

Then, Carlos walked over to Christine. "Ready to go back?"

"Yeah." Christine replied. "I'll see you later, Mal."

"Bye." I said. I looked around, but didn't see Ben. I called his name three times, but he didn't hear me. I decided to take a risk and jump in the water. I couldn't swim, though. After a little while, Ben found me and scooped me into his arms, bringing me back to dry land. "You scared me!" I yelled.

Ben was surprised. "You can't swim?"

"No!" I replied, exasperated.

"You live on an island!" Ben retorted.

"Yeah, with a barrier around it, remember? You still tried to save me and all I get is soaking wet!" I snapped.

Ben gave me a rock, but I just threw it back in the lake. I shivered and Ben put his jacket around me to keep me warm. "Uh, Mal, I told you that I loved you. What about you? Do you love me?"

I sighed. "I don't know what love feels like."

Ben lifted my chin. "Maybe I can teach you." He leaned in towards me. This was it. He was going to kiss me! I decided that now was the time to let it happen. The moment Ben's lips touched mine, I felt sparks. A fire burning in the pit of my stomach told me this was love. After we pulled back, I smiled.

Christine's POV

The next day, we were in Remedial Goodness class when the Fairy Godmother spoke again. "Children, excuse me. Um, as you know, this Sunday is Family Day here at Auradon Prep. And because your parents, well not counting Christine's parents, can't be here due to... Distance, we've arranged for a special treat."

She tapped a key and it showed the villain parents. Eleanor came running just in time. "Hey, Ellie." Mal greeted.

Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Hoopa, Eleanor and I went up to the screen just as the villains on the Island got it working.

"Evie! It's Mummy!" The Evil Queen cried out. Evie waved to her mother. "Look how beautiful! As you know what they say, the poisoned apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

"Don't you mean the weeds?" Maleficent corrected.

"Ooh! Who's the old bat?" Cruella asked.

"This is Fairy Godmother." Mal introduced.

"Still doing tricks with eggplants?" Maleficent asked.

"I turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage!" The Fairy Godmother retorted.

Maleficent scoffed. "You really couldn't give Cinderella till 1 AM, I mean, really? What, the hamsters have to be back on their little wheels?"

She laughed, along with the others.

"They were mice!" The Fairy Godmother corrected.

"Hi, Mom!" Mal greeted.

"Mal!" Maleficent exclaimed. "I m-miss you."

"You children are never far from our thoughts!" Jafar said before he looked at his adopted daughter. "Hoopa, how's my little rotten apple?"

"Hi, daddy!" Hoopa greeted, smiling.

"How long must Mommy wait to see you?" Maleficent asked.

"Um, there's a big coronation coming up, like, sometime after..."

"When?" Maleficent asked.

"Friday!" Mal replied. "10 AM."

"You sure I can't see you before that? I don't know what I'll do if I don't get my hands on that magic wa-" She was cut off by the Evil Queen. "You, you little nugget that I love so much." Maleficent pretended to correct herself, all the other villains but Uncle Hans giving us kissy faces.

"Yes, I completely understand, Mother." Mal replied.

Uncle Hans spoke next. "E-Eleanor?" He stammered when he saw my cousin. Eleanor stepped up closer. "Oh, my daughter. I've missed you so much."

"I miss you too, Dad." Eleanor said. "And so does Mom."

"Hi, Harold." Uncle Hans greeted my cousin's twin brother. "How's my boy?"

"Auradon is fabulous, Dad! If only they let you off the Island..." Harold groaned.

"I couldn't agree more." Uncle Hans added.

Just then, Cruella got in close. "C-C-Carlos! Is that a dog? And why do you have your arm around this girl?" She then squeaked her stuffed dog. "Yes, yes, Baby, I do understand. It would make the perfect size for earmuffs."

Carlos and I stepped up. "He's the perfect size for a pet!" My boyfriend snapped. "This dog, and this girl, Christine, love me. And I love them. And FYI, your dog is stuffed! So give it a rest!"

Jay put his hand on Carlos's shoulder.

"Ooh!" Jafar laughed at Cruella. "Burn!"

Cruella groaned. "Why don't you go sell a toaster, you two-bit salesman?"

"People who talk to stuffed animals shouldn't throw stones!" Jafar retorted.

"Oh, well people who sell toasters shouldn't use mixed metaphors!" Cruella yelled back.

"Enough!" The Evil Queen cried. At that, Jay turned the screen off.

"I'm so sorry." The Fairy Godmother apologized.

"Thank you for the special treat." Jay properly thanked her.

"Of course." The Fairy Godmother replied. We all picked up our bags and started to walk out.

"M," Evie asked. "What do you think our parents are gonna do to us if we don't pull this thing off?"

"I think they will be quietly disappointed in us, but ultimately... Proud of us for trying our best." Mal replied.

"Really?" Carlos asked hopefully.

"No, I think we are definitely goners." Mal answered as we walked out.

Eleanor's POV

We were in Jay, Carlos and Hoopa's dorm room discussing our plan.

"Ok," Mal said. "We all know what this looks like." She showed us the picture of the wand. "It'll be up on the dais under the Beast's spell jar, and we'll be coming in from here. I will be up in the very front. You all will be up in the balcony."

"Ok." Evie agreed.

"Carlos?" Mal asked.

"Ok, so I'll find our limo so we can break the barrier, and uh, get back on the Island with the wand." Carlos answered.

Mal handed Evie a bottle. "Evie, you will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he will be out like a light."

"Ok." Evie said again, taking the bottle.

I sat down on Jay's bed and looked down in sadness. I was about to become evil like my dad once was.

I overheard Mal say that she wanted to break Ben's love spell.

Jay climbed into the bed and saw me upset. "Eleanor, no matter what happens, we'll be together."

I saw Carlos running his fingers through Christine's hair.

Later that night, I was under the covers when Jay got out and looked at his trophy. He then climbed back in and heard my muffled sobs. He kissed my head. "Eleanor, it's ok." He whispered into my ear.

"I'm gonna be evil soon." I whispered.

"Come here." He murmured, wrapping his arms around my waist. I snuggled into his chest and listened to his heartbeat, closing my eyes and letting the steady tha-thump soothe me.

"Does my heartbeat calm you?" Jay murmured, tightening his grip on me.

"Yeah," I replied softly. "It's telling me that no matter what happens, I'll be just fine."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Christine wrapped in Carlos's sweet loving embrace.

I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling of me in Jay's muscular arms, and was soon completely asleep.

Christine's POV

The next morning, I settled for a short purple dress and went down to meet up with Ben, Chad, Audrey, Lonnie, Doug, Alex and the other Glee Club members.

Soon, everyone got to the courtyard, and it was time to star. Ben started with some dialogue. "Ma Cherie, mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and great pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents your dinner."

Now it was time for us to sing.

Christine and others: Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test. Tie your napkin 'round your neck, Cherie, and we'll provide the rest.

Ben: That's right.

Christine and others: Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres, why we only live to serve. Try the gray stuff, it's delicious, don't believe me,

Ben: Ask the dishes!

Boys: They can sing, sing, sing, they can dance, dance, dance, after all, miss, this is France. And the dinner here is never, never second best. Come on! Go on unfold your menu. Go on, take a glance, and then, you'll be our guest, be our guest, be our guest. Yeah!

Christine and others: We tell jokes, I do tricks with my fellow candlesticks. And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet. Come on and lift your glass, you've won your own free pass. Be our guest.

Ben: If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest.

Christine and others: Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest. Yeah, be our guest. Be our guest!

The applause was huge. "Christine, that was so amazing!" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around. "Mom!" I ran into my mother's arms.

Kristoff, my father, patted my head. "That's my girl."

I looked at my parents and smiled. "Mom, dad, there's someone I'd like you to meet. Follow me."

I led Mom and Dad to the chocolate fountain and brought Carlos over to them. "This is Carlos De Vil, my boyfriend."

"You're Cruella's kid, right?" Mom asked. "I'm Princess Anna, Christine's mother. This is my husband Kristoff, Christine's father."

"Mr. and Mrs. Bjorgman," Carlos said respectfully, bowing to my parents.

Dad wasn't too happy. "WHAT?!" He yelled.

"Honey, people are staring..." Mom cautioned.

Dad pulled Mom aside. "I will NOT have my daughter dating a villain's kid!" He whispered.

"I can see the love he feels for Christine in his eyes." Mom whispered back.

Dad sighed. "Fine." He turned to me. "Christine, you can date this boy. But if he's still evil by the end of the coronation, you two are done. You understand, young lady?"

"Yes, dad." I sighed.

Carlos and I walked off hand in hand.

Eleanor's POV

"Hey, Mom." I walked over to my mother and hugged her. "I saw your cousin. She did amazing."

"Oh, Mom, I'd like to introduce you to someone. Jay, come!" I called.

My boyfriend came running. He pecked me on the lips before he hooked his arm with mine. "Mom, this is Jay, my boyfriend."

Mom clapped in delight. "Oh, my little girl has grown up!"

"Mom!" I groaned.

"What?" Mom asked sheepishly. "I just like embarrassing my daughter." She then turned to Jay. "I presume you're Jafar's little nugget."

"Yeah." Jay replied.

"I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're madly in love with my daughter." Mom said. "Do you promise to love and protect her?"

"I do." Jay replied.

"I can't wait for you to become my son-in-law." Mom gushed.

"Ugh," I groaned again.

Just then, Harold came over. "Eleanor, let's go." Before he grabbed my hand, he saw Mom.

"M-Mom?" He stammered.

"Harold..." Mom whispered. He ran into Mom's arms. "Oh, Harold, my son, I've missed you so much. I miss your father as well." They pulled back.

Just then, the Fairy Godmother came up to us. "Queen Elsa." She shook hands with Mom. "How would you and Eleanor like to perform 'Let It Go' for everyone?"

"Good idea!" Mom agreed.

The Fairy Godmother made the announcement as we took our places in front of the crowd. I smiled at my brother.

Eleanor and Elsa: The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like you're/I'm the queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried.

Mom and I were singing in perfect sync. I looked and saw Jay smiling at me.

Eleanor and Elsa: Don't let them in, don't let them see, be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal, don't feel. Don't let them know. Well now they know.

Mom and I waved our hands, releasing flurries of snow.

Eleanor and Elsa: Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door. I don't care what they're going to say. Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway.

Pretty much everyone knew the song. The little kids were dancing.

Eleanor and Elsa: It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small. And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all. It's time to see what I can do; to test the limits and break through. No right, no wrong. No rules for me. I'm free. Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and sky. Let it go, let it go. You'll never see me cry. Here I stand and here I stay. Let the storm rage on.

Mom and I raised our arms into the air, sending a light snow shower onto everyone.

Eleanor and Elsa: My power flurries through the air into the ground. My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around. And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast. I'm never going back. The past is in the past! Let it go, let it go. And I'll rise like the break of dawn. Let it go, let it go. That perfect girl is gone. Here I stand in the light of day. Let the storm rage on! The cold never bothered me anyway.

Mom and I sent one more flurry of snow into the air before turning our backs. The applause was huge.

As we walked off, I heard someone scream, "You!" It was Queen Leah, Audrey's grandmother. She was talking to Mal. "How are you here? And how have you stayed so young?"

Ben came up. "Queen Leah, it's ok. Maleficent's still on the Island. This is her daughter, Mal. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"

"A chance to what, Ben?" Queen Leah interrogated. "Destroy us? You remember, don't you, the poisoned apples, and the spells. Spells... My daughter was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all!"

Mal tried to apologize. "I'm so sorry-"

"Go away." Chad interrupted. "Stay away from her."

"Don't do this, Chad." Ben warned.

"What?" Chad was shocked. "They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, ok. Uh-uh." He turned to face Mal. "You stole another girl's boyfriend."

Ben started to get angry. "Hey! Hey!"

Chad looked at Jay and Hoopa. "You and your good-for-nothing sister enjoy hurting people."

He looked at me and Christine next. "Christine, you and Eleanor betrayed all of us by falling in love with the sons of two of the worst villains."

I cried and buried my head into Jay's chest.

Finally, Chad looked at Evie. "And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater."

Evie was mad. "Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land?" She thrust the mirror into his face and it showed his reflection. Jay grabbed Chad's shirt collar and Eve sprayed him with the sleep potion.

We all ran off, upset.

Later, as we sat at the picnic tables, we were all feeling sore. Ben came by. "Hey, guys, how is everyone?"

"Ok, I guess." Christine replied.

Ben put a hand on Jay's shoulder before placing his hands on Mal's. "Hey, listen, forget about it, all right? It was nothing. Forget about it. Let it go. Tomorrow after the coronation, I promise everything will be ok." He leaned down to whisper into Mal's ear. "I have to go." He then faced the rest of us. "I'll see you guys later."

As Ben walked off, Doug came over. "Listen, Evie, I wanna talk about-"

"Doug!" Chad cut him off.

"It's my fault, Doug." Evie whispered.

"I-"

"Doug!" Chad cut him off again.

"Chad, please don't." Celine begged.

"Celine, stay out of it." Chad snapped.

I could tell Celine was heartbroken.

"Doug..." Evie whispered.

"Sorry, I can't." Doug apologized.

Just then, Audrey and Jane walked by. "How long does she think that's gonna last?" Audrey asked. "Mal is just the bad girl infatuation."

"Yeah," Jane added. "I mean, he's never gonna make a villain a queen."

Evie and Christine were shocked. I was too. I thought Jane was our friend. I guess we were wrong.

Audrey and Jane laughed. A tear fell down my pale cheek. Mal pulled out her spell book, opened it and looked at me expectantly. "Ellie?"

"Do it." I gave her the cue.

"Beware, forswear, undo Jane's hair." Mal recited. With a few waves of her finger, Jane's hair was back to its normal pixie cut. All the girls, including Audrey and Celine, laughed at Jane.

Lonnie checked her hair to make sure it was still long and brown. It was.

"You..." Chad whispered angrily.

"There's a lot more where that came from." Mal said firmly.

"Excuse me, who do you think you are?" Audrey snapped.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Mal asked. She opened her book and the girls ran off. Celine said to us, "I'm so sorry about Jane." Before running off with Chad and the others.

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow." Mal said as she closed the spell book. "Let's grab that wand and blow this popsicle stand."

We got up and walked off. Friday, we'd steal the wand and the villains would rule Auradon. And also, Christine and I would have our revenge...

"We're rotten to the core." Jay and Hoopa sang.
