Hi guys!

So, the previous chapter got such positive reviews, and a lot of you have asked me to do a companion piece, so here's the coronation!

Maleficent is kind of OOC, so sorry about that!

Enjoy!

It was the day of Ben's coronation. The four teens from the Isle of the Lost were surprisingly relaxed. They were ready to face whatever punishment their parents had for them, if it meant staying with the friends they had made in Auradon. Mal had given Ben the anti-love potion right after the Family Day fiasco, and yet he still loved her, despite knowing that she had spelled him.

"Mal, will you wear my ring?" Ben asked his girlfriend as they rode through the cheering crowds. Mal looked at him with a slight smile.

"Are you sure, Ben?" she asked, and he nodded, taking off the gold ring around his finger, and putting it on Mal's, then kissing her hand.

"After today, everything will be fine. I promise. Your parents can't reach you here." He told her, and Mal smiled bigger. The carriage they were riding in reached the palace, and Ben stepped out, then held his hand out for Mal to take. She did, and he helped her down, and led her up the stairs.

"Good luck." Mal said once they reached the top of the steps. Ben brushed a stray hair away from her face, and nodded.

"I'll see you soon." He replied, and Mal turned, taking the offered hand of a servant behind her, who led her inside, and towards her spot in the front row. She looked up, and saw Evie, Jay, and Carlos standing at the balcony. Evie gave her a small wave and a smile. She was holding the hand of Doug, who was standing next to her with a happy expression. Dude was sitting happily in Carlos' arms. The light chatter in the room died down as the doors to the throne room opened slowly, revealing Ben standing there. As he walked down the center of the aisle, Mal bowed to him, looking up just in time to see him send her a small smile, which she returned. The coronation went by perfectly, until Fairy Godmother went to bless Ben with her wand. Jane darted forward, and grabbed the wand out of her mother's hand, holding it as the magic shot out of it. A large bolt of bright golden light shot out of the wand, and out the window.

"Child, what are you doing?" Fairy Godmother shouted as people ducked out of the way. Ben jumped in front of Mal, his arms held behind him, encircling his girlfriend protectively.

"If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself!" Jane exclaimed, jerking around. "Bibbidi, bobbidi, bo!" More magic shot out of the wand, sailing over the crowds. People ducked with shocked screams. Mal ran past Ben, and attempted to get the wand out of Jane's hands.

"Be careful, Mal!" Belle said from her spot behind her husband. Mal wrestled the wand away from Jane, making the girl back away, and fall back into the terrified crowd. Mal gently held the magic wand in her hand, and walked towards the dais. As she did, four streaks of green smoke flew into the room, and landed in front of Mal.

"I'm back!" Maleficent crowed happily. Cruella, the Evil Queen, and Jafar stood behind her, grins on their faces.

"Go away, Mother." Mal said, gripping the wand in her hands. Maleficent looked at her, and began to laugh. Footsteps behind Mal alerted her that her friends had joined her.

"Come here, children. Don't side with these petty princes and princesses. What can they offer you that we haven't?" The Evil Queen asked with a simpering smile. Evie scoffed, and rolled her eyes.

"Please, Mother. They've been nicer than any of you have to your own children for our entire lives on that blasted island." She said angrily.

"Mother, I don't want to be evil. I want to stay here. Watching people suffer doesn't make me happy." Mal said, and her voice held the smallest amount of sadness in it. "I want to stay and go to school. I want to stay, and be with Ben, because he makes me happy. Being friends with these three makes me happy. I choose good, Mother." Ben looked at his girlfriend happily. Maleficent looked at her daughter in shock.

"Dad, stealing things doesn't make me happy." Jay chimed in, looking at his father. "Turney and victory pizza with my team makes me happy. I choose good too." Mal looked behind her, and sent him a smile. Carlos walked up to Mal, standing next to her with Dude in his arms.

"Mom, dogs aren't evil. You've lied to me my entire life, and you never even cared about me. I don't want to fear them anymore." He said, and gently ran his fingers through Dude's fur. "Giving Dude belly rubs makes me happy, and I love this dog. I'm choosing good." Dude sent a growl towards Cruella, making her back away slightly.

"Mother, you've always told me that I would never be any more than just a pretty face." Evie said quietly, but strongly. "I don't want to have to play dumb to get a guy. I'm smarter than you think, and I don't want to always be just another pretty girl. I'm choosing good with my family." Mal looked her mother in the eye, for the first time, not afraid.

"You four are funny. Now, give me the wand!" Maleficent said, her voice rising. Mal glared at her.

"Never." She replied, and Ben smiled at her from where he stood with his mother, and he caught her eye.

"Mal!" he exclaimed, holding up his hand. Mal got the idea, and threw the wand towards him, and in turn, the new king or Auradon ran to the dais, and handed the wand to Fairy Godmother.

"How dare you!" Maleficent shouted, and she held out her hand, and a green light enveloped her daughter. While nothing happened to Mal on the outside physically, she began to scream, and she fell to the ground.

"What are you doing to her?" Evie cried, trying to reach her best friend. Maleficent simply grinned with a sick type of pleasure.

"Take the wand, then we'll return to the island, and finally get rid of all this disgusting goodness." She told the other three villains behind her, all of whom nodded, ignoring the screaming girl on the ground. Mal held her head between her hands as every single of her worst fears replayed themselves over and over again in her mind. Being abandoned, watching her family get torn away from her, losing Ben, her mother screaming, and attacking her. She couldn't hear her friends shouting her name, but she focused on her mother standing in front of her, and she stood.

"Being good, and being loved isn't a weakness, Mother. It's actually really amazing. And I feel bad that you will never feel that way." Mal said, her voice heavy with sadness, and tears filling her eyes. Maleficent simply cackled, and transformed into a giant dragon. Mal stood strong in front of her mother, and reached behind her, grabbing Evie and Jay's hands. Carlos gripped Evie's other free hand tightly.

"Mal, maybe the power of good really is stronger than evil." Carlos said to Mal, and she looked at him, nodding.

"You can't control me any longer, Mother! I won't let you hurt anyone, anymore!" she shouted, and Maleficent stood on all fours, and glared at her daughter, her eyes beginning to glow. Mal stared right back in an intense stare-down. "The power of evil is good as none, when stands before four hearts as one!" She repeated this mantra, feeling the presence of her friends behind her. While she was doing this, Ben, Chad, and Doug were able to stop Jafar, Cruella, and the Evil Queen, and hand the three off to the royal guards. Maleficent stared at her daughter for a moment more, before being engulfed in green smoke, and shrinking to the size of a lizard. Mal looked at her friends, and ran towards the lizard that was her mother.

"What happened to her?" Evie asked, kneeling next to Mal on the floor.

"Your mother shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why she's so itty-bitty." Fairy Godmother said meeting the four in the center of the room. Mal looked up at her.

"Will she be like that forever?" she asked, and Fairy Godmother smiled.

"Forever is a long time. You learned to love. Maybe she can as well." She replied, and Mal smiled back at her. Ben ran over to where the four stood, and picked Mal up in a tight hug, spinning her around.

"Next time, you let me save you, deal?" he asked, setting her down. Mal laughed.

"Let's not let there be, a next time, okay?" she shot back, before hugging him again. Ben smiled, and nodded. Evie clapped her hands happily, and Mal turned, and the four siblings in everything but blood embraced each other tightly. They knew, that, not matter what, they would always be together, because they had formed a bond that was stronger than any magic that anyone could ever conjure. They would never fall apart form one another.

I hope you all liked it!
