4 making a decision

Two days later

The vks are assembled in their classroom, waiting for Fairy Godmother to tell them what she wanted.

"Children excuse me, uhm as you know this Sunday is family day here at Auradon prep and because your parents can't be here due to uhm distance? We've arranged for a special treat." Fairy Godmother tells them cheerfully and goes over to the TV in the room, turning on the display and waves the teens over when their parents can be seen on the screen, looking through their own camera apparently.

"Oh Evie it's mummy. Look how beautiful, well you know what they say. The poison apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Evil Queen greets her daughter happily once the villains manage to turn on their device and see their children gathered behind Fairy Godmother.

"Urgh, who's the old bat." Cruella says disgusted pointing at Fairy Godmother.

"This is Fairy Godmother." Mal tells them.

"Still doing tricks with Eggplants?" Maleficent taunts the older woman.

"I turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage." Fairy Godmother says furiously.

"And you really couldn't give Cinderella till 1 am? What the hamsters had to be back on their little wheels?" Maleficent taunts her making the villains laugh.

"They were mice." Fairy Godmother says and moves away from the camera so the villains can talk to their children.

"Hi mom." Mal greets Maleficent.

"Mal, I m-m-miss you. How long does mummy have to wait to see you?" Maleficent asks.

"There is the big coronation coming up, so I'm thinking sometime after that." Mal tells her.

"When?" Maleficent asks impatiently.

"Friday, 10 am." Mal says annoyed.

"You sure I can't see you before that. I don't know what I'll do if I can't get my hands on that magic… you, you little nugget." Maleficent says greedily, almost revealing their plan but Evil Queen pats her head reminding her that Fairy Godmother is still present.

"Yes I understand mother." Mal replies.

"Carlos is that a dog?" Cruella asks him shocked, seeing her son hold Dude on his arm.

"Oh, yes I know he has the perfect pelt for a set of earmuffs." Cruella says to her squeaky dog toy on her shoulder.

"He's the perfect size for a pet. This dog loves me and I love him and fyi your dog is stuffed so give it a rest." Carlos yells at her.

"Ohh burn." Jafar laughs while Cruella looks shocked.

Jafar and Cruella then starts to fight and Jay turns off the TV having had enough.

"Ohh, I'm sorry." Fairy Godmother says having hoped for a different outcome.

"Thanks for the special treat." Jay says and the group of 4 make their way out of the room.

"M, what do you think our parents are gonna do to us if we don't pull this off?" Evie asks her purple haired friend worriedly when they reach the door.

"I think they will be quietly disappointed in us but ultimately proud of us for doing our best." Mal says.

"Really?" Carlos asks stunned.

"No. I think we're definitely goners." Mal says dreadfully.

Later that day the four of them meet in Carlos' and Jays' room to discuss their plan once more.

"OK we all know what it looks like. It will be out under the beasts' spell jar and we'll be coming in from here and I'll be in the very front. You all will be up on the balcony." Mal tells them showing them a picture of the wand and a plan showing the layout of the church.

"Carlos." Mal signals the boy to continue.

"OK, so I'll be getting a limo so that we can break the barrier and get back on the Island with the wand." Carlos says.

"Perfect, Evie you will use this to take out the driver, two sprays and he'll be out like a light." Mal says handing her a perfume bottle.

"OK." Evie says accepting the bottle.

"Good." Mal says sighing and sits down on the table when they hear someone knocking.

"Who is it?" Mal asks trying to hide the papers on the table.

"Me, who else are you expecting?" Scott says confused and sticks his head through the now cracked open door.

"What are you doing here?" Mal asks going over to her boyfriend.

"Carlos told me to come by tonight." Scott tells her surprised she didn't know about it.

"Carlos!" Mal says annoyed.

"What? I know you said you don't want to involve him but let's be honest he's already part of it." Carlos tells her.

"What do you not want to involve me in?" Scott asks them.

"You remember how we broke into the museum and were trying to get the wand? Well we're gonna get it at your brothers' coronation. Sorry Mal, he should know." Jay tells him truthfully, apologizing to his purple haired friend once she glares at him.

"I know but what's there to discuss about? Mal grabs the wand and done." Scott tells them confused.

"Wait, you know?" Evie asks shocked.

"Yeah, I told Mal that I suspected that the love potion was so she can get close to the wand." Scott tells them making everyone look at Mal.

"OK look, I didn't want him to get involved because it's still his brother's coronation. And Ben has been nothing but nice to us up till now." Mal tells the group.

"Mal, It's sweet of you to want to protect me, but I can make my own choices and as I've told you I honestly don't care if the villains come back or not. I'm gonna protect my brother and you guys. That's really all that matters to me." Scott tells his girlfriend, brushing over her arms caringly.

"I know Scott I just thought you'd prefer not to be told of the plan beforehand, so you can still tell your brother without lying to him that you weren't involved." Mal says putting her hands on his.

"Thanks but next time remember we're a team." Scott replies giving her a chaste kiss, making her blush faintly since it's the first time they kissed in front of their friends.

"Still what's with the plan? Once you have the wand they're done." Scott tells Mal, sitting down on a chair and pulls her into his lap, playing with her hair until Mal stops him, feeling embarrassed.

"What do you mean they're done?" Evie asks smirking at her best friend who looks a little uncomfortable at Scott being affectionate in front of them.

"They have so much fear of the wand they most likely won't do anything but try to stop you by reasoning with you." Scott informs them.

"Still In case something goes wrong we'll do as we discussed." Mal tells the other vks.

"And you don't get to know, I'm sorry but I have to protect you from yourself this time. I know how much you care for your brother." Mal tells Scott patting his cheek lovingly.

"If you say so. Btw Carlos told me that you fear your parents will get to you. Let me reassure you guys as long as I'm around there is nothing they can do to you. And I honestly mean that, I'm not just bragging." Scott tells them thinking back to how he trained on the Isle, having found a mentor at the end of the cave he came upon when he first arrived and leaves them to ponder things over.

"He's joking right?" Jay asks Mal.

"I honestly don't know. I mean I'm pretty sure your parents he can handle but I don't know how he'd fare against my mother. Anyways that's not important, we said we're gonna pull this off so we're gonna do it." Mal tells them.

The next day

It's family day at Auradon and the whole school is having a big party with their parents.

Ben is standing with his mother and father to pose for a picture and tells them "Wait, we're missing Scott. Oh and did you know that he has a girlfriend?" Ben tells his parents, but the photograph already took their picture and moves on.

"Such a shame." Ben says.

"Did you say Scott has a girlfriend? Do we know her?" Queen Belle asks surprised, not holding as much disgust towards her son as the rest of Auradon, for the sake of Ben.

"Yes, Scott. Mal come over here." Ben shouts towards the two of them and Scott comes over to him, dressed in a black suit unlike the rest of the boys who are dressed in a blue suit while Mal is wearing a purple blouse over a white shirt and a blue skirt.

"Mother, father. This is Mal, my girlfriend." Scott greets his parents hoping to avoid a scene.

"Hi." The queen greets her with Mal replying in kind.

"I was thinking they could join us for lunch." Ben tells his parents.

"Of course." King Beast agrees not happy about the idea.

"Uhh, I actually came with my friends." Mal says pointing at the rest of the vk's.

"Well you should invite them." Queen Belle says trying to be nice to them.

"How about a game of croque before lunch?" King Beast suggests, and they move their chat over to the croque game with Mal and Scott getting the rest of the vk's.

On the croque field an older woman approaches Mal asking "Hi, have we met?"

"No I don't think so, I'm sort of like a transfer student." Mal tells her, watching Scott as he beat Jay in a game, making the long-haired teen frown while Scott puts his arm around his shoulder whispering something into his ear.

"Oh Audrey give Grammy a kiss dear." The woman says greeting her grandchild.

"Grammy?" Mal asks surprised.

"Sleeping beauty's mother. Grammy, I don't think you want to be talking to this girl unless you feel like taking another 100-year nap." Audrey says looking at Mal accusingly.

"You?! How are you here and how have you stayed so young?" The woman asks shocked.

"Mal, everything OK?" Scott asks putting his arm around his girlfriend.

"Queen Leah, this isn't Maleficent, it's her daughter Mal. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the second generation a chance?" Ben says coming over to the group trying to calm down the older woman.

"Chance for what Ben? Destroy us? My daughter was raised by Fairy's, her first words, her first steps I missed it all!" Queen Leah shouts angrily, turning towards Fairy Godmother for comfort.

"I'm so sorry." Mal says reaching out to the woman.

"No, no, no you stay away from her." Chad says getting in between Mal and the old woman.

"Don't do this Chad." Ben tells his friend while Scott has taken Mal's hand and is glaring at Chad.

"What? They were raised by their parents Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? You enjoy hurting people, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheat and you threw yourself at the first guy who's to stupid to realize who he's getting involved with." Chad tells them pointing at Jay, then Evie and finally at Mal.

Once Chad insulted Mal Scotts eyes glow bright red and he closes the gap between the two, headbutting the blonde prick, making him fall to the ground bleeding heavily from his now broken nose

"Insulting my friends was a bad idea. Try it again and I'll teach you not to mess with them." Scott snarls at him, gaining more wolf like features [AN: normal Teen Wolf shift] until Mal takes his hand and they leave with the rest of the vk's.

"I feared something like this would happen." King Beast tells Ben disappointedly.

"It's not their fault." Ben defends his brother and the villain kids.

"No, it's yours and your brothers he probably influenced you to get those kids here." King Beast replies, walking off with his wife.

Ben goes after his brother and his friends, finding them sitting at one of the tables.

"Hey guys, forget about it. It's nothing. Tomorrow after the coronation everything will be OK." Ben tells them, patting his brother on the shoulder.

"I hope so, for their sake." Scott tells his brother glaring at the students sitting on the table behind them with his eyes shining bright.

"I have to go try and sort this out with our parents. I'll see you guys later." Ben tells them and takes off.

"Listen Evie I want to talk about …" Doug says going over to the blue haired girl.

"Doug!" Chad yells warningly, holding tissues to his broken nose.

"I'm sorry Evie, I can't." Doug says caving to the blond teens warning and goes back over to Chad's group, making Evie shove her plate away disappointed.

"How long does she think that's gonna last? I mean he is the schools' resident looser but even he has to have some standards." Audrey says walking behind Mal and Scott.

"Yeah I bet even he can smell the villain on her soon." Jane taunts them leaning her head to Mal's ear and the two girls laugh at them.

"Be aware for swear, undo Jane's hair." Mal reads from her spell book, undoing the hair change on Jane, making her want to scream in horror but she can't because while Mal undid her spell Scott had enough and grabs both girls by their throat, lifting them into the air, making them struggle for air while he shouts at all of the students present "I warned you guys not to insult them. Do I need to make an example out of these two?"

"Scott, don't." Mal tells her boyfriend, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Scott puts the girls down who are now breathing heavily and flee along with the rest of the students while Jane yells at Scott "Wait till I tell my mother about this."

"As if that old coot intimidates me." Scott laughs.

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow guys, let's blow this popsicle stand." Mal tells her friend and they make their way back to their rooms with her hugging Scott tightly, whispering "You know you didn't have to go that far."

"They need to learn somehow, and they've been so pampered a little scare will have the most impact." Scott tells her.

The next day

Everyone form Auradon is gathered at the church for Ben's coronation while the four villain parents watch the event on their TV.

Ben and Audrey are riding up to the church in a carriage while Scott and Mal arrive in one as well, being just behind them.

"Mal you don't have to be nervous. I'll be at your side the whole time." Scott says, taking her hand and gives her a long kiss.

"Scott wait, before we arrive, I have something for you." Mal says slightly nervous and hands him a small package.

"Mal, you didn't have to, really." Scott says and opens the small box, seeing a smaller, more refined version of the necklace he gave Mal, made with her old keychain.

"Mal didn't you like?" Scott asks worried that she's returning his gift, until she sees Mal pull out a necklace of her own, picturing a black wolf out of her décolleté.

"I made them from the keychain you kept. Now we have something to remember us by if we ever don't get to see each other." Mal tells him.

"I love it, but I hope that day will never come." Scott says happily, hugging Mal.

Shortly after they arrive and take their position near the podium while Ben has to ascend to the podium by himself.

Once Ben is at the podium, he kneels down in front of the wand while Fairy Godmother takes the Kings crown and puts it on his son's head festively. King Beast then removes the glass dome and Fairy Godmother takes the wand asking Ben "Do you solemnly swear to serve the people of Auradon as long as you shall live?"

"I do solemnly swear." Ben replies while Mal is looking at the wand and her boyfriend nervously, having mixed feelings about making all of this disappear when they free the villains.

"Then it is my honor to…" Fairy Godmother says when suddenly her wand gets taken away by Jane, who tries to make herself more beautiful, accidentally making a hole in the barrier of the Isle. Maleficent who watched the TV sees the wand get taken and assumes that it was her daughter and immediately gets her wand before she turns herself into a cloud of green smoke with her newly accessible magic and flies through the hole towards the church.

Meanwhile at the church Jane is unable to control the wand and sparks fly everywhere while everyone is moving backwards in fear other than Scott who stands protectively in front of an equally unmoving Mal.

Seeing an opportunity Mal rushes over to Jane, ripping the wand out of her hand, holding it up threateningly.

"Mal, give me the wand." Ben says reaching for the wand.

"Stand back." Mal warns him.

"I told you so." Audrey shouts and takes a step towards Mal, who turns towards the girl, making the whole group around her shriek back in fear. The vk's who were watching form the balcony hurry down, gathering behind Mal.

"You really want to do this?" Ben asks Mal.

"We have no choice Ben. Our parents…" Mal replies helplessly.

"Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours." Ben tells her.

"I think I want to be good." Mal says looking around the crowd.

"You are good." Ben says.

"How do you know that?" Mal shouts back.

"Because I'm listening to my heart, because I know that my brother, the person I trust the most in the world wouldn't love someone as strongly as he loves you if you weren't good." Ben replies, making Scott look around uncomfortably with a small blush on his cheeks.

"I want to listen to my heart too and my heart is telling me that we're not our parents. I mean stealing things don't make you happy. Tourney and victory celebration with the team makes you happy. And you Carlos, scratching dude's belly makes you happy. Who would have thought. And Evie you do not have to play dumb to get a guy. And I don't want to take over the world with evil, it doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school and be with Scott, because he makes me really happy." Mal says fumbling with her wolf necklace.

"Us being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things, I choose good you guys." Mal says holding out her fist towards her friends.

"I choose good too." Jay agrees, putting his fist next to hers.

"I choose good." Evie agrees, following their lead.

"So just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be?" Carlos asks.

"Your parents can't reach you here." Ben says.

"Good." Carlos says adding his fist and Mal signals for Ben and Scott to join them, but Scott holds his brother back, looking into the sky behind them saying "Spoke too soon little brother." Looking at the green cloud descending upon them, breaking through the roof.

"I'm baaack." Maleficent shouts landing in between the vk's and the King's family.

"Go away mother." Mal says annoyed.

"She's funny. Now wand me, chop chop." Maleficent chuckles expecting the wand from her daughter but Mal throws it to Fairy Godmother instead.

Bibidi, Babidi…" Fairy Godmother says.

"Boo." Maleficent says casting an immobilizing spell on the church, only not affecting the villain's kids and unknown to her Scott, who uses his magic nullifying powers to break free, but he plays immobilized, only signaling Mal that he's faking it with a wink when she looks at him worriedly.

Maleficent then goes up to the Kings family, getting the wand from Fairy Godmother along the way and messes with the family, changing their look, safe for Scott.

"Well what else to change? How about this? Perfect fit." Maleficent says making Mal's necklace fly over to her, wrapping it around the wand.

"Falling in love is weak and ridiculous. It's not what you want." Maleficent tells her daughter, who's crying now with the other vk's looking at Maleficent worriedly.

"You don't know what I want. Mom, have you ever once asked me what I want? I'm not you." Mal protests.

"Well obviously, I've had countless of years being evil, you'll get there." Maleficent tells her daughter.

"No, I will not and I really wish you'd have never gotten there yourself. Love is not weak or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing." Mal says.

"Let me tell you one thing young lady, you have no room for love in your life!" Maleficent yells at her.

"And now I command wand to my hand." Mal shouts and the wand flies over to her.

"This is tedious and very immature, now give me the wand. Give me the wand!" Maleficent yells impatiently.

"Maybe good really is more powerful." Carlos tells Mal.

"Oh, you're killing me." Maleficent says amused and Jay uses her distraction to try and steal her staff but Maleficent pokes his head making Jay fall to the ground.

"Enough! You all will regret this!" Maleficent yells and turns into a green fog, coming together as a huge dragon four to five times their size. She hovers in the air and unleashes a fire breath at Jay, who dodges, jumping back to the others.

Scott decides to jump into the fray now and stands in front of the vk's with his suit's seams ripping.

Maleficent in her dragon form stares at him surprised and screeches at him angrily.

"Mal, take the others and go. I'll handle this." Scott tells her, his voice becoming darker by the second and his size increasing and shifting. The four vk's stare see him transform into a giant black wolf, about the same size as Maleficent [AN: think something like a black Sesshomaru form Inuyasha]

With deep red glowing eyes. The teens gasp in surprise and fear, with Maleficent looking at him shocked as well. Recognizing him as Wolf because of his eyes. Scott looks back at Mal one more time, snapping her out of her staring and leads her friends into a corner of the church hiding themselves.

Scott turns around facing Maleficent, who hits him with her fire breath, burning his left shoulder. Scott jumps against a wall to his left and leaps of it towards the dragon, careful not to step on any of the Auradon inhabitants. Maleficent dodges him and cockily flies up the tower, only to dive back down flying towards Scott with her maw wide open and intends to take a bite out of him, only for him to turn the tables and leap at her, crashing into her midair and the two of them fly out of the back of the church which now has a huge hole in it. Mal sees this and tells her friends to stay hidden while she sees what the situation is like, but they refuse and go with her.

When they reach the hole, climbing through it they see Scott with one paw on the dragon's throat, cutting of its air and blocking her fire breath. His other paw puts pressure on one of Maleficent's wing while the rest of his body is towering over her, one back paw stepping on her tail and the other holding down her midsection.

"Unbelievable." The group says looking at the scene.

"Scott! Let me take care of her." Mal shouts up at him, making him look at her with his eyes flickering.

Mal moves to her mothers' head and stares into her eyes.

"This is between you and me mother. Strength of Evil is good as non, if it stands before four hearts as one." Mal then chants four times, her eyes glowing brighter with each chant while her friends stand behind her supportively.

Maleficent eyes start to dim, until they lose its glow and the dragon disappears, getting replaced by a small palm sized lizard.

Scott looks around confused and then howl loudly, signaling his victory before he runs off into the woods, heading towards the lake he took Mal on their first date.

"Scott!" Mal shouts after him.

"Your mother shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why it's so tiny." Fairy Godmother tells Mal, having gotten out of the immobilizing spell and climbed through the hole.

"Is she gonna be like that forever?" Mal asks looking at the lizard.

"Who knows, you learned to love maybe so can she." Fairy Godmother tells her and Mal hands her the wand after taking off the necklace.

"Evie, I've got to go after Scott he must be hurt. Can you take care of my mother?" Mal tells her best friend concerned, handing her the lizard.

"Sure." Evie replies and the three vk's enter the church again where Fairy Godmother removes the immobilizing spell.

"What happened where is Mal?" Ben asks the three once he's able to talk and move again.

"After your brother transformed into a gigantic wolf and beat Maleficent with Mal he ran into the woods. Mal is going after him. He might have gotten hurt." Jay informs the other teen.

"Still, we are safe from Maleficent and the villains. Let's party." One of the student yells and everyone agrees, and they throw a party back at their school.

Meanwhile Mal followed Scott to the lake, tracking him through his gigantic paw prints.

"Scott!" Mal yells arriving at the pavilion. She sees movement in the water and without thinking gets in, trying to swim towards it like Scott showed her but the dress weighs her down and she goes under.

Scott, having heard something sees Mal drowning and dives underwater, using his large paw to carry her out and lay her down on the stone construct.

Mal remains unmoving however and Scott panics, and can only think about saving Mal. This caused him to somehow gain back his control and shift back into his human form. He immediately runs over and looks for her breath but feeling none, he starts to give her Cpr. After three repetitions Mal coughs up water weakly, her eyes fluttering open.

"Scott?" She asks rolling onto her side, coughing some more.

"I'm here." Scott tells her soothingly rubbing her back.

"What happened? Why did you run away?" Mal asks him worriedly.

"I lost control over my other side. I never had to use this form before and its instincts overwhelmed me." Scott explains.

"If you never used it before then why use it, knowing you can't control it?" mal shouts angrily.

"I had to protect you somehow." Scott says brushing her hair behind her ears when they suddenly hear loud bangs and see fireworks go off from the direction of the school.

They lie down on their backs, holding hands and Scott winces, his shoulder hurting badly from when Maleficent burned it.

Hearing the wince, she looks at Scott, seeing his injuries and panics.

"Scott. Your shoulder." Mal yells worried.

"I know, it'll be fine in a month or two, I heal better than others." Scott says giving her a grin before it turns into a wince getting hit by another dose of pain.

"You brave but stupid boy. We're getting you looked over immediately." Mal tells him and helps him back to his feet.

"OK. But first." Scott says and pulls her close, giving her a passionate kiss.

"Thanks for coming after me." Scott whispers putting his forehead against hers.

"Next time don't run away in the first place. I was worried you dummy." Mal replies laughing and then they make their way back to the school, where Scott gets looked at and treated by Fairy Godmother along with Mal to make sure her almost drowning didn't impact her health. The two of them were ordered bed rest by Fairy Godmother and decide to make the best out of it, with Mal staying over in Scott's room where the two cuddle together in peace while they slowly drift off to sleep.
