Chapter Text
After getting married, Mal and Ben decided to go around to unknown lands, bringing more lands together, gaining more allies for Auradon, going off on adventures along with Jay and Evie, and whoever they brought along as well.
While they’re gone, who else would be in charge than their dear enemy turned friend, Uma, daughter of Ursula. Uma walks into her new office, now being Principal or Head Mistress of Auradon Prep. Her crew helped set up her office, Fairy Grandmother being there to greet her. While she poured tea, Uma spoke, “Fairy Godmother, as my first decree as Principal of Auradon Prep, I’d like to make sure anyone can go here.” She says
“Well, you know that’s already possible.” Fairy says with a slight chuckle.
“When I say everyone, I mean, everyone. Everyone includes the children in wonderland.”
“W-Wonderland, no no no, they are far too dangerous.”
“I believe everyone deserves a second chance, a chance that I, Mal, Evie, Jay and… Carlos, were given.” Uma looks over at the framed photo of Carlos on the wall, she lets out a shaky breath, looking back to Fairy Godmother, “You don’t need to do this for me, but could you at least do it for him?” She asks as a tear slips from her eye, which she’s quick to wipe away.
Fairy Godmother looks at Uma with a sad expression, she sighs, “Alright, who from Wonderland do you plan on inviting?” She asks
Uma takes two letters from her coat, “Ruby Ofhearts, daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Max Hatter, grandson of the Mad Hatter. I believe both deserve to be let out of Wonderland.” She says, handing Fairy both of the letters.
“Alright then.” Fairy says. She uses her wand to send both letters flying, the letters making their way to Wonderland.
<~~~ 🎆❤️🎩🎆 ~~~>
Wonderland isn’t as ‘wonderful’ as you might imagine, thanks to its ruler, the tyrant Queen of Hearts. No one dares to go against her, well, no one but her own daughter, Princess Ruby Ofhearts, but she’s not alone, she tends to drag her best friend with her, Max Hatter. Oh and before I forget, every Wonderlandian has a British accent, just thought I’d mention that.
Ruby and Max stood high up, Ruby dressed in red and black, a hood on her head, her wavy red hair tied back, a red mask over her eyes. Her identity is completely concealed in her dark red and black fit, paired with black leather gloves, that way she leaves no finger prints. Next to her, Max is wearing a black and purple outfit, a hood covering his black and purple hair, a black mask over the lower half of his face. He has long coat tails, flowing behind him in the wind, also wearing black gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints. Both of them look down to the courtyard, “Ready to do some vandalism?” Ruby asks softly with a grin.
“Are you sure about this?” Max asks softly, fidgeting with his fingers.
“You didn’t have to join.”
“I didn’t want you doing this alone.”
“Well then, let’s burn off some steam.” Ruby says, smiling before jumping from their high point.
Max steps back, gives his arms a shake to hype himself up, then follows Ruby. They rush in, “I’m a rebel, I’m a menace, there’s no need to fight it.” Ruby sings as they sneak into the courtyard,
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Max sings, following after.
“Slipping through the shadows like I’m ultraviolet.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Hearts on the walls, but no love in these streets,” They sing as Ruby starts clipping roses, The two look up at the Queen’s portrait, “Appetite for destruction, and it’s time to eat,” they look at each other, Ruby pulls a red balloon from her pocket, while Max pulls a purple one, both full of paint, they nod, “Yeah.” They sing
“Devil on my shoulder and it won’t be quiet.” Ruby sings
“Yeah, yeah.” Max sings
“I’m on a path of destruction, this is gonna be fun!” Ruby sings before throwing her balloon, leaving a red splat next to the Queen’s face. Max throws his balloon soon after, leaving a purple splat in the center.
“Set it off!” The two sing, smashing flower pots, “Go berserk!” They sing, breaking more pots, “Tonight we light it up like fireworks!” The spotlight turns on and they run to hide behind a floral heart, making sure their hoods cover their faces more, “Burn it down,” They look at each other, “Till all they’re seeing now is, red, red, red, red, red.” They sing,
They spot a man ringing a bell and holding a lamp, “Vandals!” He announces, getting the attention of the guards. Making the guards join in on the song.
Ruby and Max move to hide behind various rose bushes, Ruby holding tightly to Max’s wrist as she pulls him along. “Soldiers at the ready?” The captain asks
“Sir, yes sir.”
“The Queen’s not very friendly…”
“That’s for sure.”
Ruby pulls Max to behind the other soldiers, she starts following their moves and Max catches on, doing the same, “It’s criminal how, you follow the crown.” Ruby sings
“Fist in the air, boots on the ground.” Max sings
“I hear the sound, and it’s getting loud.” Ruby says, setting off a firework, Max’s eyes widen as she rolls it into the crowd, “Yellin’ red, red, red.” The fireworks go off, startling the guards. “We’re breaking in, call the guards.”
Ruby grabs Max by the wrist, pulling him along with her as they run, “Raise the alarm,” they sing in unison, “Princess of hearts,” Ruby sings, “Mad taking parts,” Max sings, “We’re lit after dark.” They sing together once more.
The captain looks up, finding both of them stood high, Ruby stood proudly with her hands on her hips while Max crouched next to her, a red and purple heart shaped firework sets off behind them, spreading heart shaped confetti, “Off with their heads, leave ‘em for dead,” Ruby sings
“Seein’ red,” Max starts
“Red,” Ruby adds
“Red.” They sing together
“Seize them!” The captain orders
“We’re on a path of destruction,” Ruby sings
“Hey, this actually is fun!” Max sings, standing up and Ruby grabs his wrist and pulls him along with her as they run from guards.
“Set it off,” Ruby sings, starting more fireworks, passing them to Max as they run, “Go berserk!” Max sings, throwing the fireworks behind them as they explode with confetti, “Tonight we light it up like fireworks!” They sing in unison.
“Tear it down,” Max sings
“Then paint this town,” Ruby sings
“Red, red, red, red.” The two sing as they continue to run from guards and throw fireworks behind them.
“I don’t want my life ruled by some queen, look in my eyes, see the fire in me!” Ruby sings
Ruby and Max jump and roll, “Burn it down, till all they see is red, red, red, red.” They sing together, but keep their disguises on.
“Up all night!” The captain sings
“Right, left, right.” The guards sing
“Never question orders.”
“Or we pay the price.”
“Protect the Queen’s borders.”
“Remember what she said.”
“It’s either off with their heads,”
“Or it’s off with our heads!”
They start repeating, “Get them now.” Before singing “Ooohhh” again.
“They’re painting our whole world,”
“They’re painting our whole world, they’re painting our whole world,” The two jump over, cutting two lines into the Queen’s portrait, “Red!” The guards sing. They look down at the two.
“I don’t want my life run by some queen, look into my eyes, see the fire in me.” Ruby sings, pulling Max with her again.
“Burn it down, till all they’re seeing now is, red, red, red, red, red.” The two sing in unison, Ruby grabs a torch with her free hand continuing to pull Max with her.
The two start to get surrounded by guards both now standing back to back, Ruby holding tight to Max’s wrist, that’s when a claw machine-like claw comes down, snagging both teens by their hoods, “Two for one.” Maddox says, controlling the claw. They’re pulled up while the guards sing “Off with their heads.”
Ruby drops the torch in her hand, the guards look around, wondering where the two slipped off to. Maddox moves the claw to a hidden tunnel, which causes both teens to scream as they go through the tunnel. They fly through the window and land on the couch, both now in Maddox’s workshop. Maddox looks at the teens, his arms crossed with a disappointed look on his face, “What were you two thinking?” He asks
Max pulls down his mask, “It was Ruby’s idea…” he says
Ruby punches Max’s shoulder, “Hey! You also vandalized stuff!” She complains, pulling her mask off her face.
“Enough! I thought I said no more vandalism.” Maddox says, “Especially for you, Max. You’re the more likely one to actually get your head chopped. Ruby is the princess, the heir to the kingdom, but you, you’re just the son of an advisor.”
Ruby rolls her eyes, “No need to be so dark minded, Mads. With me around, Maxy is going to keep his head.” She says, squishing Max’s face, much to the boy’s annoyance.
Max swats Ruby’s hand away, “Quit that.” He says
“Look Ruby, I know you don’t quite like your Mum, but she’s gone through a lot and this is just the consequences of her mistreatment. Her persona as a defense mechanism. You might not believe me, but your mother used to bake cupcakes for everyone in school. They were always delicious and magical, she always wore a smile on her face. Until… Castlecoming…”
“What happened?” Ruby asks
“It’s not my story to share, Ruby…” Maddox says, taking a seat, “Though, as your tutor, Ruby, and your father, Max, I’m here to teach you what you need to know, like how you need to stop with your vandalism.” Ruby scoffs as Max fiddles with his hands. Maddox sighs, “Alright, I wanted to wait until you two were a little older, but…” he stands up, signaling for the two to follow him.
The three walk over to a round thing covered in a cloth, Maddox pulls the cloth off, revealing a pocket watch, “My Time Machine!” He announces, “It takes you to the time that your heart most desires. With it, you can save your mother, or, lose her forever.”
Ruby hums, “I’ll take the chance.” She says, going to grab the watch, but both Hatters stop her.
“No, it’s far too risky!” Max says
“Yes, just by your reaction, I know you’re not ready for it.” Maddox says, tucking it into his pocket.
Ruby goes to hug Maddox, but Max steps in front of her, “Ah-ah-ah, don’t even try it, pick pocket princess.” He says, pushing Ruby back.
Ruby clicks her tongue in annoyance. She puts her hands up, “Alright Papa patrol.” She says
“Let’s check the castle!” They hear a guard say.
“Alright, both of you to bed.” Maddox says, pressing two buttons on his sleeves, two tubes sucking up each teen, both screaming before landing in their beds.
<~~~ ☀️ ~~~>
The next morning, the Queen of Hearts is carried into the courtyard on her throne, she looks around, seeing all of the vandalism, she looks down at her guard captain kneeled below her, “How did this happen?” She growls
“Two vandals, my Queen. They vanished into thin air before we could detain them.” He says
“Entering the courtyard now is Princess Ruby Ofhearts!” The announcer says
“Ah, finally decided to crawl out of bed I see, my dear?” The Queen asks, she then looks Ruby up and down.
Ruby changed out of her vandal look, her hair tied up in two buns on her head, with some strands still in front of her face, she’s now wearing a deep red hoodie with black poofed long sleeves, a red and black leather skirt over red and black pants, the pants flaring at the bottom over red boots with black hearts. Her hoodie has her classic broken heart symbol on the back, her outfit paired with black leather gloves that have red hearts on her knuckles. Her nails are painted red with black hearts, though you don’t really see them when she walks over with her hands in her front pocket. On her face is makeup, black eye shadow fading to a deep red, high winged eyeliner, red lipstick and red heart shaped stickers on her face.
“You look… Childish, I do wish you’d grow up.” The Queen says
“And I wish you’d stop judging me.” Ruby snaps
“Always the most naive, aren’t you Ruby?” The Queen says, “Why don’t you prove me wrong? Hmm?” She looks down at her guard captain, “This imbecile let two vandals ruin my courtyard and get away with it, what punishment do you believe he deserves?” She asks, guiding her hand to the man.
Ruby looks down at the man, adjusting the neck of her hoodie, she fidgets with her fingers, sliding over her smooth nails, “He deserves…” She starts, “To be rid of his…” she continues, walking closer, the man looking up to her with a worried expression, “Hat!” She finishes, yanking off his hat and putting it on her head, bowing a bit in front of her Mother.
The Queen sighs, “You disappoint me,” she says, walking over to a vase of roses, taking a rose from the vase, twirling it in her fingers, “You know, I was just like you when I was younger. I wanted to be a Queen everyone adored, but now, I know that isn’t a way to rule. People listen to fear, not kindness, now, try again.” She demands
Ruby’s face turns conflicted when she turns back to the blonde haired man, “Off with his…” but luckily she gets cut off by Maddox.
“I beg your pardon! I’m sorry for interrupting court, but we've got some letters.” Maddox says
The one with the red stamp opens, in Uma’s voice it reads, “Hello Queen of Hearts, I’d like to humbly invite your daughter, Ruby Ofhearts, to Auradon Prep, if you are to accept this invitation, it will be your ticket into Auradon. I hope to see your daughter at the entrance ceremony, sincerely, Pirate Principal Uma.”
“Pirate Principal? Another villain’s gone soft…” The Queen mumbles, “What’s the other one?” She asks
Maddox let’s go of the one with a purple stamp, it opens, “Hello Maddox Hatter, I’d like to invite your son, Max Hatter, to Auradon Prep, if only you are to except, then this letter will only allow you and your son to leave Wonderland, I hope to see your son at the entrance ceremony, sincerely, Pirate Principal Uma.” The letter read in Uma’s voice.
Ruby stands there with hope, fiddling with the draw strings of her hoodie, “I accept!” The Queen says with a smile.
“I accept as well.” Maddox says
Both letters gain the signatures of both parents, the Queen sits in her throne, getting carried back inside, “Now Ruby, you go pack your things, tell your son to do the same, Maddox, we have an entrance ceremony to attend. Please wear something more appropriate.” She says
Ruby watches as her Mom leaves, then she runs to Maddox and grabs, bouncing with excitement, “I get to go to Auradon Prep! I get to leave Wonderland!” She cheers
“Yes, you and Max both get to! How exciting! I’ll go make sure he's packed, you go pack!” Maddox says with a smile.
“I will, I will! I’m so excited! It’s like my Mom grew half a heart today!” She says. Ruby almost skips away before remembering the appearance she needs to keep up and walks away all nonchalant.
Maddox chuckles, making his way to Max.
<~~~ 🎩 ~~~>
Maddox goes into his son’s room, finding him still curled under the covers in his pajamas, “Max, get up, you gotta get changed and start packing!” Maddox says
Max sits up, startled from his sleep, “Why do I need to pack?! Do we need to hide?!” He asks, many awful scenarios playing in his head.
“No, no, you’re going to be attending Auradon Prep!” Maddox says with a smile, walking to his son’s closet to start packing his things.
Max sighs with relief, “Oh, thank goodness.” Then he processed, “Wait! I’m leaving Wonderland?!” He asks
“Yes! Get dressed!”
“Oh my hats! No way!” He exclaims, practically jumping from bed.
Max gets dressed in his common wear, not something Ruby makes him wear when they go vandalizing. Every Hatter needs a top hat, and this one he got from his Dad when he was ten, it was big then, but fits perfectly now. It’s a dark purple hat with a teal band, embroidered on the hat are rabbits, spirals, tea cups and clocks. He hops into his green pants, baring many pockets, he slips on mismatched socks. Max puts on a light lime green button up, over top he places a purple vest, finally he puts on a purple-ish grey coat with long coattails, reaching above his ankles. The ends of his coattails have a pink and teal flame-like design with chess pieces embroidered, looking as if they’re falling into the fire. Additionally, he puts on a teal bow tie, and slips on his black boots.
Once he’s done getting dressed, he helps his Dad pack his things. When they’re done with that, Maddox looks at Max, he adjusts his son’s hat, bow tie, then dusts off his shoulders, “Let’s get going.” He says with a soft smile.
Max smiles back, “Yeah!”
<~~~ 👑 ~~~>
At Cinderella’s castle, two people are dueling with their swords, as King Charming watched, those two being the prince and princess of the castle. Chad Charming, now attending college, has come back home to visit his family after his tourney match got rescheduled and he had time on his hands.
He is currently dueling his younger sister, Chloe Charming, unlike her older brother who looks nothing like his parents, which is always a point of gossip even though he is biologically related to both of them, many tests have proven so, Chloe looks like a perfect mix of her parents.
Chloe has very dark brown curly hair with various shades of blue streaks, she is currently dressed in a light blue top with a blue choker, on top is a sky blue and silver cropped jacket, having a crisscross pattern embroidered on it in royal blue string. She has shimmery silver pants that flare out over her black boots underneath. On her hands are silver fingerless gloves with blue diamond symbols. Her sword’s sheath on her hip is a royal blue, her sword itself having a blue leather handle, the rest being silver.
Chad still has longish curly blonde hair, he’s dressed in a basic dude fit, but with some charming elements mixed in. His sword is similar to his sister’s, but not exactly the same. As the two duel, they have masks on their faces, Chad parries Chloe’s attack, “Ha! You know sis, you’re pretty good, but not as good as me!” He says
“Oh yeah? You look like you're losing, Chaddy Waddy!” Chloe teased, attacking once more.
Chad blocks it, “Oh? So we’re trash talking now? Just know! I’m trash talk king!”
“Last I checked, you’re still a prince.”
“Oh ha ha.”
“Alright, that’s enough, you two.” King Charming says, “Take a break.”
“Alright Dad…” Chad says, sheathing his sword and taking off his mask.
“You got it.” Chloe says, doing the same.
“Is everything going well over here?” Cinderella asks, walking over elegantly. She looks pretty much the same as canon, but she now has black hair with shimmering tinsel-like streaks in her hair, of course being blue and silver, adding a bit of flair to her black hair.
“Hello My Love.” Charming says, kissing Cinderella’s hand.
“Were these two behaving? No Chad pulling on Chloe’s hair?” Cinderella asks
Chad’s cheeks redden with embarrassment, “I haven’t done that since I was a kid…” he pouts
“Anyway, Chloe, I have a gift for you. You’ve been so good and today is the entrance ceremony for Auradon Prep, so I thought you deserved these now.” Cinderella says, a butler walks up with a blue box in his hands, Cinderella pulls the top off, the box’s walls fall open to reveal glass boots, perfectly attuned to her style.
“My own glass shoes!? They’re perfect!” Chloe says, “I have to wear them now! Thank you so much!” Chloe says, snatching them up to try them on.
“Awe man, why don’t I have any glass shoes…?” He pouts
“Chad, you’ve broken ten pairs, we are not giving you more.” Charming says
“Awe…”
<~~~ 🚙 ~~~>
After packing all of Chloe’s things in the carriage, and a lot of begging on Chad’s part, the family of four were all set to head for Auradon Prep. Chloe rushes over with excitement, “They’re a perfect fit!” She says, her shoes swapped out for the glass ones she was just given. “So Chad’s coming too?” She asks
“Yes I am, I haven’t seen Aurdon Prep since I graduated, I kinda miss the place. I also miss making things with Jay and… Carlos’s 3D printer…” Chad clears his throat, “Shall we continue on?” He asks with a forced smile.
“Yeah, I’m actually excited for this school year, I’ve got a good feeling about it.” Chloe says with a smile.
<~~~ 🦋 ~~~>
Luis Madrial, son of Luisa, and part of a very big family, he’s got 17 cousins after all, five of them belonging to his Aunt Dolores. Let’s just say, the Madrigal family is huge. Good thing Casita is magical and grows with the family.
Ever since his Grandmother and her triplet siblings first gained their gifts at five, almost every other Madrigal had gotten a gift at the age of five. Julieta can cook healing food, Pepa controls weather with her emotions, Bruno can tell the future. Isabela can make any plant she wants, Dolores has super hearing, Luisa has super strength, Camilo can shape shift into any person, Antonio can speak with animals, and Mirabel brought the miracle back to life.
What gift does Luis have? He has fire related abilities, like he can control fire, withstand high amounts of heat, and play with hot glass and metal like it’s putty, but he doesn’t give off the vibes of an out of control hot head, no no, he’s more of a warm sunshine golden retriever.
Luis was in his room, glass blowing by hand like Ember from Elemental, when his Mom entered his room, “Pack your things! You and four of your cousins are going to Auradon Prep!” She says, a huge smile on her face.
“Wait, what?” Luis asks, gently placing his creation down.
“You heard me right, you and four of your cousins are attending a new school, so get to packing! It’ll be an exciting journey!” Luisa says before closing the door.
<~~~ 🚁 ~~~>
Luis never knew helicopters could be that big. After packing their stuff, he and his cousins look at the huge Auradon helicopter, decorated in blue and gold.
He and his cousins still had the family color code, meaning all the children on Pepa’s side dressed in warm colors and the children on Julieta’s side dressed in cool colors. So that meant he and two other cousins dressed in cool colors then the other two in warm. Though every kid did get something that had something that Mirabel embroidered on.
Luis looks around, seeing which four cousins are joining him, he finds all the cousins in his age group. Dolores’s son, Duardo, Isabela’s daughter, Ivonne, Camilo’s daughter, Carmelita, and Mirabel’s son, Mique.
Duardo was gifted with the power of an ultrasonic voice, in order to talk ‘normally’ he had to whisper. When he got his gift, he cheered so loud, everyone’s ears were ringing, especially his Mother’s.
Ivonne was gifted the power to bring inanimate objects to life, the first thing she did was a plush rabbit she’s had since she was a baby, named the classic name of Snowball. Though of course she can revert objects back to their inanimate forms, she just feels bad every time she does.
Carmelita was gifted the power to change her own and other’s hair, in style and color. She’s very popular because she can give anyone the haircut of their dreams and she’s profited from it in the Encanto, and Luis is sure she’ll be profiting in Auradon too.
Finally Mique, unlike his gift-less mother, he actually got a gift. His gift is the power to turn into fantasy beings, like a dragon, fairy, or troll. He likes using this power to mess with other people, but he has fun turning into holiday beings as well.
Luis is wearing a medium blue vest with yellow and orange embroidery. The embroidery is of flowers, butterflies and candles. He’s wearing a white long sleeve, rolled to above his elbows. He’s wearing jeans and brown boots.
Luis adjusts his vest, getting ready to file into the helicopter to attend the entrance ceremony of Auradon Prep, each teen being accompanied by a parent, though Dolores decides to not go so she doesn’t have to deal with the sea of voices, so she sends Mariano in her place. They all file into the helicopter, setting off.
<~~~ 🃏 ~~~>
Felix Facilier, the only son of Dr.Facilier, he’s playing a game in his father’s arcade, when his older sister, Celia, appears behind him. “Felix, we’ve got to head for Auradon Prep now.” She says
“Hold on, almost beat this level!” Felix says, spamming more buttons.
“Felix…”
“Alright, I’m done now, we can go.”
Out in the front, Dr.Facilier is waiting, tapping his foot on the ground as he looks at the floor. “There you two are! Come on, I don’t want to leave my Arcade unattended for too long.” He says
“Blame Felix, he’s the one who was taking his sweet time.” Celia says, getting in the car.
“Oh shush it, Celia.” He says
The Faciliers make their way to Auradon Prep, as the sun shines on Dr.Facilier, the two see their father’s shadow sitting with its feet on the dashboard and its hands behind its head.
<~~~ 🏹 ~~~>
Robbie Hood wakes up, his childhood home deep in the forest is peaceful, his father, Robin Hood, enters his room. His father’s ears twitch as he walks in. “Time to get up Robbie, time for your entrance ceremony at Auradon Prep.” He says
Robbie stretches, a fox-like squeak coming from his throat. Robbie had inherited the Hood family trait from his father, that trait being a set of fox ears and tail, giving the boy fox-like hearing, but luckily he didn’t inherit the fox-like sense of smell too. Robbie sits up, his tail tapping next to him, “Okay, I’m up.” He grumbles
“Good, now get changed, I already moved your bags to the car.” Robin says, leaving the room.
Robbie stretches, “Time for another round of people looking at me weird…” he mumbles, climbing out of bed to get changed.
<~~~ 🪝 ~~~>
Hazel Hook was sleeping peacefully, well, until… “Hazel, get up!” The Smee twins exclaim in unison.
She sits up with a groan, “Why?” She asks
“It’s time for our Auradon Prep entrance ceremony!” Squeaky says
“There’s going to be cookies!” Squirmy says
“Okay, then get out!” Hazel says, throwing pillows at the twins.
“Ah!” Squeaky exclaims
“Pillow attack!” Squirmy exclaims
The twins run out of the room, leaving Hazel to pull herself out of bed.
<~~~ ⚓️ ~~~>
Hazel walks out of her room, dressed in her canonical outfit, but I thought the twins should have unique looks.
Squeaky has more of an oversized cutesy look, he has the canonical red beanie, and his hair is the same length as can as well, but he’s wearing an oversized blue sweater, the sleeves cover his hands, like sweater paws, and there’s a repeating anchor pattern on the sweater. Underneath the sweater he has a white shirt, paired with tan baggy pants with colorful patches. On his feet are white boots.
His brother, Squirmy, has longer blonde hair, reaching his shoulders, similarly to when the two were kids. On his head is a red cap, worn backwards, he’s wearing a deep blue jacket, a light blue shirt with an anchor in the center. He’s wearing baggy ripped jeans, embroidered barnacles crawling up from the bottom of the jeans, along with black boots.
Leaning on the counter is Captain Hook, twirling his hook in between his fingers, he looks up, seeing Hazel, “Ah, there’s my youngest daughter, are you ready to go, lazy bones?” He asks
Hazel spins her hook, “As ready as I can be to return to that hell hole.” She says
“It’s not really a ‘hell hole’, just full of annoying people.” Squirmy says
“Annoying HKs to be exact.” Squeaky says
“Enough, I just want to have the house to myself again…” Hook says
“Now, now, James, you know you’ll miss them, you already miss your older three.” Smee says, sipping coffee from his mug.
Hook growls, “Shut your face, Smee.” He snaps
“You know I know you best, we’ve been friends since our Merlin Academy days.”
“Alright, enough nostalgia, let's head out.” Hook says, swooshing his coattails behind him as he walks away.
“Aye-aye captain.” The four say in unison, though the children had more of a sarcastic tone to their voices. Following Hook out of the house.
<~~~ ❤️ ~~~>
The Queen has a truck, it’s red with hearts and flames, but it only has the driver and passenger seat, so the Hatters were forced to sit with the luggage, all the luggage tied down, so the boys held onto the rope and their hats as the Queen zoomed from the castle to the Rabbit Hole, following the two letters. Ruby sees the entrance blocked off, “Um, Mum?” She asks
The Queen just chuckles, pressing down harder on the gas, Ruby stiffens and freezes as they approach, but Max starts screaming, holding tight onto his Dad. His screams quiet down as they go up the Rabbit Hole, both him and Ruby looking around with amazement, they land on the other side, leaving tire tracks on the other side. Ruby and Max feeling lighter on this side. The Queen adjusts her grip on the steering wheel, she snickers, continuing to follow the letters.
At Auradon Prep, they get checked in at the gate, security looking through their stuff, mistakenly thinking the Queen’s cards are just normal playing cards. They get let in, the Queen continues forward. Parking in the parking lot with other cars and carriages. The Queen gets out of the car, slamming the door, “Come on, out with you Hatters.” She says, snapping her fingers.
Ruby hops down from the passenger’s seat, Maddox jumps out, helping his son from the back as well. Ruby hops in place for a bit, noticing she feels lighter, hopping up, she notices that she floats back down, Max notices this too. The friends share a look before they start giggling, seeing how high they can jump and how slowly they can fall. The Queen snaps her fingers, “Quit with the childish behavior, come along.” She says
“Well, if I may, My Queen, they are technically children.” Maddox says
The Queen scoffs, “Oh hush, come along Ruby.”
The Queen has Ruby walk by her side, while the boys walk behind them. Ruby and Max looking around with amazement, though Ruby’s is a bit more concealed than Max’s. They see two lines, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Villains’, sat at the Villains table is Gil, youngest son of Gaston, and sat at the Heroes table is Jane, daughter of Fairy Godmother, her ‘Jarlos’ necklace proudly laid on her chest. Marking off a list of names is simple enough for the two.
Jane is first to notice the wonderlandians, “Oh! Queen of Hearts and Ruby Ofhearts, please make your way for Gil,” she starts, Gil waving, “Hatters, you’re over here.” She finishes
The Queen scoffs again, making her way for the villain line, Ruby follows her. Maddox smiles nervously, guiding Max with him. “Name?” Gil asks
“You know me.” The Queen snaps
That’s when Cinderella looks over at her, “Rebecca? Rebecca Phoebe?” She asks
“Oh! Queen Rebecca P. Ofhearts, and her daughter Ruby Ofhearts! Got cha!” Gil says with an unknowing smile.
The Queen’s eye twitches, she slowly turns toward Cinderella, “Ella.” She says bitterly, “It’s your Royal Highness now.” She says
“I’m sure you’re very happy about that.” Cinderella says with a soft smile.
“Oh, I am.”
Chad leans over to his Dad, “I have a bad feeling about this lady…” he whispers
“Mind yourself, Chad.” Charming says, pinching Chad’s arm.
“Ow!” Chad exclaims, rubbing his arm.
Chloe looks at Ruby, who is currently chewing gum, she steps up to her, putting her hand out, “Hi, I’m Chloe Charming! What’s your name?” She asks
Ruby pops a bubble with her gum, she takes it out and places it in Chloe’s hand, much to the heroine princess’s disgust, “Ruby.” Is all she says before following her Mom.
Chloe shakes the gum off her glove before getting a tap on her shoulder, “I’m sorry about her, she’s not really mean if you get to know her.” Max says, rubbing the back of his neck, he then sticks his hand out, “I’m Max Hatter.” He says with a smile.
Chloe shakes his hand with a soft smile, “Chloe Charming.” She says
<~~~ 🏴☠️🃏 ~~~>
“Well, well, well, isn’t it my favorite pirates?” Felix says, walking over to Hazel and the twins in the celebration area, all three stood around a macaron tower.
“Oh! Hey Felix!” Squeaky says cheerfully
“You should try some of these cookies!” Squirmy says
“Are you finally going to confess to fox boy this year?” Hazel asks, taking a bite of the macaron she stabbed through with her golden hook.
Felix quickly becomes flustered, he slams his hands on the table, pointing at Hazel, “You are sooo lucky that this room is loud and he isn’t here yet!” He says
Hazel chuckles, “Yeah yeah.” She says, biting off the rest of the macaron.

Luis looks around the celebration area after entering, seeing many unknown faces, his cousins looking around just as curious as him. They walk around, trying the treats around the place. Noticing how two separate groups were naturally formed.
As he’s walking, he accidentally bumps into someone, “Ah geez, sorry, I wasn’t watching myself…” Luis says, turning to face who he bumped.
He finds Robbie, the fox boy chuckles, “It’s fine dude, I always get overwhelmed at celebrations.” He says, his tail swinging behind him.
Luis looks at Robbie’s ears, then his tail, “Are those…”
“Real? Yep, just a good old Hood family trait, makes us better forest archers.”
“That’s awesome! My family gained magical gifts from a candle that became magical after our Abuelo Pedro died.”
Robbie blinks a few times, he then laughs, “That’s absolutely sick, man!” He says
<~~~ ♥️ ~~~>
Fairy Godmother taps her wand on a note board, “Hello, everyone, please take your seats.” All of the HKs are quick to listen, but the VKs ignore her and keep snacking, “That includes you, Villains, please take your seats,” they still don’t listen, so Fairy clicks her tongue, “If you sit and listen, I’ll request ice cream to be sent here.” She tempts, with that, now everyone is sat, Fairy Godmother sighs, keeping her soft smile. “It has been a great honor to serve all of you, but, I’d like to introduce your new Principal.” She says, stepping back.
With that, Uma’s pirate crew shows up, and Uma’s theme song starts playing, ending with Uma and her crew standing in front of everyone with her arms crossed. “HKs, VKs, as your new principal, I hope to unite as all once more, which is why you’re celebrating in the same room this year.” The Queen of Hearts takes her cards from her purse, unsheathing them from their box, “I hope that we can continue on with our journey of healing, acceptance, and peace.” The Queen starts playing with her cards, fanning them between her hands very obnoxiously, “I hope that we can… Okay, excuse me, Queen of Hearts?” Uma asks, having to pause her speech.
“Oh? Yes?” The Queen asks, faining her innocence.
“Could you wait to do your card tricks until after I’ve finished my speech?” Uma asks through a clearly forced smile.
“No, I don’t think I can.” The Queen says, standing back up.
“Mum… What are you doing?” Ruby asks
“Yeah lady! What are you doing?! You’re going to stop us from getting ice cream!” Squirmy yells from the crowd. Squirmy gets hit by Squeaky and Hazel.
“Why, Ruby, I’m playing my favorite game.” The Queen says with a grin, a grin Ruby knew all too well. The Queen steps to the side before singing, “Waaaarrr.” Then sending her cards up into the sky.
Soldiers come falling down from the sky, the sky now red with lighting. The Queen claps and giggles, watching as the chaos unfolds. “Mum! What are you doing?! Stop this!” Ruby pleads
“My Queen, I don’t think this is a good idea…” Maddox says
“Oh hush it, Hatter.” The Queen says, fanning her hand at Maddox to dismiss him.
Some try to run, but the Queen blocks the exits with big metal cards. Leaving the only option left to be surrendering or fighting. Uma fights the best she can, Fairy Godmother holds up her wand, “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-B-” She gets cut off when the Queen says, “Bad choice.” And cuts Fairy’s wand in half with one of her cards.
Luisa tries lifting one of the barcades, just for the Queen to notice her, a card swirls around her head and Luisa is out cold. Her family catches her before she falls to the floor. The rest of the Madrigals stick by Luisa, most not being really made for combat. Luis though, he’s looking around, trying to figure out how he’ll use the lightning to his advantage.
Robin Hood tries to help with his bow, just to be restrained. Similar to Chad and Charming, both try to use their sword skills against the soldiers, just to end up restrained. Chloe holding back, standing by her Mother.
Hook just leans over to Dr.Facilier, “Maybe we shouldn’t have pulled that prank on her…” He whispers
Facilier looks at him with an ‘Oh really’ look, “You think?” He snarks
With everyone subdued, the Queen makes her way to the front, “Please, you’re all acting like you’ve never seen a coup before.” She says
“Mum! Why are you doing this?!” Ruby asks again
“Oh, my dear Ruby, you don’t know these people the way I do.” The Queen says before she starts to pace, though it looks more like a ghostly glide due to her wonderlandian weightlessness, “These people think they can all come together in peace and harmony and that all of their previous actions can be forgiven, all because Maleficent’s daughter married Bell and Beast’s son? Ha! You’re all better ruled by me! I’ve been waiting years to be invited back to Auradon, and now that I’m here, I’m seizing this moment! Come, join me Ruby.” The Queen says, putting her hand out for her daughter to follow, “Oh, you get up here too Hatters, don’t sit with the prisoners.” She adds
Maddox pulls a distraught Max along with him, standing behind the Queen, but Ruby stands in front of her Mother still, her hands balled in fist, as she starts shaking with anger, “That was my invite, this was going to be my new school, my new life! I was going to make more friends than just Max! Why couldn’t you let me have just one thing Mum?!” She yells at her Mom.
“Ruby, dear, come here, look into the Looking Glass.” The Queen says, gently pulling her daughter to her, handing her the compact mirror.
Ruby looks into The Looking Glass, seeing herself dressed how her mother would want her to, sitting in a throne by her. Max kneeled to a bow at her side, “We will rule Auradon, with the Hatters as our loyal servants! Just as I planned.” The Queen says
There’s one thing the Queen didn’t see, something the mirror decided to only show Ruby. It’s herself, Max, and many others, all disguised and a rebellion against her Mother. Ruby snaps the mirror shut, she couldn’t let her Mother see this, “I see…” Ruby says. She gives her Mom a faked defeated look, “I understand, Mum.” She says, pocketing the Looking Glass, her Mom barely taking notice.
“Phoebe!” Someone yells out, Ruby turns to see Cinderella, the guards block her from approaching.
“Let her through.” The Queen demanded
“Why are you doing this, Pheobe? Holding all of these people hostage, staging a coup, why?”
“I’ve been planning this revenge for years, Ella.”
“I don’t think that a prank from high school is a good reason to stage a coup, Becca.” Another woman says
Approaching now is Queen Tiana, holding her green dress as she approaches, “Tiana.” The Queen says flatly
“Tia, it’s not a good idea for you to…” Cinderella starts
“If you’re arguing with her, I’ll argue with her too.” Tiana cuts in
“Do you two even remember what happened? I remember you weren’t even there! Ella, you ran off somewhere with your prince, and Tiana, you didn’t even show up!” The Queen says
“Fae gave me magic stuff that only lasted until midnight! It’s not my fault that Maleficent decided to prank you at midnight!” Cinderella argues
“And I was turned into a frog until Principal Merlin helped me! Naveen and I were stuck as frogs for the whole dance!” Tiana argues
“My bad!” Dr.Facilier yells out from the VK side of the crowd.
“You might have your excuses, but you weren’t there. I was embarrassed, ridiculed at my first dance, and the only one who was there was my childhood friend, Maddox. That is why he’s behind me, and you’re in front of me, now, kneel.” Cinderella and Tiana look at each other, then to the Queen again, “Did you not hear me? Kneel before your Queen.” She demands, pointing to the floor.
Cinderella shakes her head, “I’d never kneel to a tyrant." She says
“It’s true that we didn’t see what happened, but I doubt it was so bad that it would make you end up like this…” Tiana says
“Are you disobeying a royal order? Oh Ruby, what do we call someone who doesn’t listen?” The Queen asks
Ruby looks to her Mom, then over to Cinderella and Tiana, she steps towards the black queens, “Why can’t you just kneel? Just, bow down, and everything will be fine.” Ruby says, holding her hands in a way to try and calm the chaotic situation.
“When it goes against my morals, I can’t.” Cinderella says
“Your mother doesn’t deserve a crown she takes by force. Power is earned, not taken.” Tiana says
Ruby gets yanked by the hood of her hoodie back to her mother, the Queen turning the princess’s face back to her own, “Who are you loyal to, Ruby? These strangers, or, your own Mother?” The Queen asks. Ruby looks at her Mother, swallowing her fear. The Queen turns her around, rubbing her upper arms, “Now, what do we call people who don’t listen to their Queen?” She asks again.
Ruby stands frozen in front of everyone, she hates the feeling of eyes on her. Looking around, she spots many people, a gathering of people around a sleeping buff woman, a girl who’s obviously Cinderella’s daughter, two twin boys that are clear to be Tiana’s sons, a father and son with fox ears and tail, their ears flattened and tails down with worry, the son’s even slightly poofed. Ruby is snapped from her zoning out when her mother shakes her, “Ruby, give me an answer.” She says
“Becca, she’s obviously scared.” Tiana says
“She can’t do it, Phoebe.” Cinderella says
The Queen leans forward, whispering in Ruby’s ear, “Prove them wrong.”
Ruby breaks from her Mom’s arms, swallowing her fear once again, she puts on her persona, the persona of the daughter her mother would want her to be. “Trators, they are trators!” She announces
The Queen smiles, an evil and proud grin, “Yes Ruby, they are traitors, and that means, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!” She announces, a lightning bolt going off behind her. Everyone gasps, she then waves with half of her hand, “Bye bye!” She says in a childish tone.
Chloe watches as her Mom is pulled away, “Mom?” She asks
“It’s okay, Chloe.” Cinderella says
“Mom! No!” Chad yells, trying to wiggle from the guards retraining him.
“Cinderella!” Charming yells, trying to wiggle from the grasps of guards as well.
“It’s okay! It’s okay!” Cinderella insists
“Mom!” Tiana’s twins, James and Raymond, yell out the same time their Dad yells, “Tiana!”
“It’ll be okay!” Tiana consoles
“Tia! No!” Charlotte yells from the croud.
“I’ll be okay Lotte! I swear!” Tiana yells to the girl.
“I love you all!” Cinderella says as she’s pulled away.
“I love you, boys!” Tiana says as she’s pulled away too.
Naveen tries to grab for Tiana, but they’re pulled apart. Naveen pushed to the floor, his sons going down to check on him. “Very good, Ruby. You’ve finally made me proud.” The Queen says, kissing her daughter on the cheek.
“Look, she’s loving this!” James says
“The poison apple doesn’t fall far from the rotten tree!” Raymond says
Ruby rubs the kiss from her cheek, she walks to Maddox, sticking her hand out, Maddox looks at her confused until it clicks. He pulls the pocket watch from his pocket, grabs Max’s wrist and puts the watch in Ruby’s hand before placing Max’s hand on top of both, “You both will go.” He whispers.
Ruby looks at Max, the boy riddled in nerves, she pockets the watch, then pulls Max close, “We either fix this now, or we rebel later.” She whispers
Max swallows, “Got it.” He whispers
Ruby was about to press the watch in her pocket while holding Max’s wrist, when she hears Chloe shouting, “That’s not fair, let them go!”
Chloe goes to draw her sword, Ruby rushes forward with a, “No! Don’t!”
“Ruby! Careful!” Max yells
Ruby starts trying to stop Chloe from drawing her sword. Max tries to keep hold of Ruby. Luis sees this tussle, and jumps up, much to the worry of his family, he rushes over to help. Robbie sees Luis rush over and he follows, Felix sees Robbie rush over, and he follows, the Smee twins follow after him and Hazel follows after them with a, “Felix! Smees! No! AGH!”
Before everyone knows it, there’s a pile of nine teenagers, and with some rustling, the watch activates…
