I did not start this chapter until late yesterday and I apologize for that.

Thank you for all the kind reviews and thank you for reading the story all the way through.

HOPEFULLY I will have the sequel started soon.

The magic wand shook violently and shot off a wild display of sparks.

It bucked and sent a fierce bolt of lightning that cracked through one of the cathedral's stained-glass windows. The bolt sizzled through the air and exploded as it hit and broke the magic barrier of the Isle of the Lost.

Fairy Godmother was wide-eyed. "Child, what are you doing?" she cried.

Just like before, it wasn't Mal who had the wand; it was Jane!

Jane shouted, "If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself!" She struggled to control the wand as its power rocked her viciously from side to side.

Everyone screamed as the wand swung left and then right. She spun frantically as the room watched in horror. This time, Carlos ran up to Jane and pried the wand from her hands.

He wielded the wand like he had done with the 3D copy six months from then—like a sword. The audience took cautious steps as the other six VKs went behind him.

"Jane," he began slowly. "You don't need to use this to change your appearance. You have always looked beautiful."

Jane didn't listen to him. She scampered away from him and hid behind some of the viewers.

With a sigh, Carlos wordlessly handed the wand to Mal, who brandished it a bit more comfortably than last time. A few eased at her having the wand while everyone else backed further away.

"There's nothing to worry about," she insisted to the audience. "We already chose good the first time, and we choose it again."

The spectators whispered amongst each other at her words. "You heard me right." Mal glanced at Ben, who gave her a nod to continue. "This is us seven's," she gestured to the VKs, "eight," she pointed at Ben, "nine," pointed at King Beast, "ten," pointed at Lonnie, "eleven's," she pointed one last time at Audrey, "second time of being in this time."

The audience whispered more frantically, but it was because of disbelief.

"Don't believe me?" Mal questioned with a slight tilt of her head. "Don't worry you will in a sec."

She swirled the wand around her hand and in the next second she completely changed. Mal now wore a white lace dress and her hair was ice blond and pinned up in a bun. There was a slight purple ombré to the tips.

"This," she gestured to herself with the wand, "is what I look like six months from now. I will change my appearance to make myself seem more of an Auradonian and less like a girl from the Isle. I will use magic to help me act more lady-like to not embarrass Ben in front of the paparazzi."

Mal sighed at remembering the emotional events that followed. "The day before my Cotillion, I fled to the Isle of the Lost because I couldn't handle the pressure of being perfect no more."

With a flick of her wrist, the wand changed her appearance again. She now changed into the outfit she would wear when returning to the Isle. Her hair transformed. Mal's long lavender hair reached down past her shoulders with new bluntly cut bangs.

"This is what I look like when I return to the Isle," she revealed. "My disappearance doesn't go unnoticed by my friends. They go to the Isle to bring me home."

She pointed the wand at the trio, who changes into what they looked like when they returned home. Evie looked stunning in a blue leather jacket and matching skirt. Jay dressed in red-and-blue velvet pants, a leather jacket, and a beanie. Carlos wore red-and-black pants, a leather jacket, and fingerless gloves with his hair straight and swept to one side of his face.

"Of course," Mal continued, "Ben goes with them and gets a change of wardrobe too."

In the next second, he changed. Ben wore his Isle-inspired outfit, which consisted of a distressed blue leather jacket with metallic studs, a blue beanie, blue fingerless leather gloves, blue pants, and dark boots.

"There are a couple issues on the Isle," Mal revealed as she continued her long speech. "I refuse to leave, so Ben and I break up. However, Ben gets captured, so the four of us has to produce a copy of the magic wand. We succeed and are able to return to Auradon, but I end up losing spell book."

With another swirl, those who went to the Cotillion changed into the dress or suit they would wear. Most were confused as to why Uma's dress slightly changed, however they were more focused on Mal.

She looked stunning in her yellow dress bejeweled with blue gems, blue and yellow tulle, and a sparking cape that trailed the ground behind her. Her purple hair was in a pretty side braid that snaked down her shoulder.

"I wear this at my Cotillion." She lifted the skirt slightly and dropped it to show off the ruffles. "I show up a few minutes before Ben. When he arrives, he reveals that he brought Uma as his date."

"I was able to leave the Isle before the barrier closed," Uma intervened to add some of her details. "I found Mal's spell book, so I put a love spell on Ben so he could order Fairy Godmother to bring down barrier once and for all."

"We discover that he's spelled when he yells at father," Mal revealed. "The spell is broken when I kiss Ben."

" 'True Love's Kiss'," Evie repeated in the same wistful tone with a smile. " 'Works every time.'"

"Uma doesn't like that she loses so she jumps into the ocean and transforms into a tentacled sea witch," Mal recalled, getting slightly annoyed by how long she was taking so she said the shortened version. "She attacks the ship, I transform into a dragon, Ben jumps in the water, gets between us, says the fighting needs to stop, Uma retreats, Ben goes back onto the ship, and when I transform back into a human . . ."

Mal flicked the wand one last time to change her appearance for the final time.

Her hair was long and thick and purple. She wore a purple dress with a purple cape and rich layers of fabric that swept past her feet. A gold crown shimmered atop her head.

Mal couldn't the smile and giggle as she twirled around for everyone to see it. "This beautiful dress is what I end up wearing after I transform." She sighed contently. "Everything turns out good. A month later, after a date with Ben, Evie and I go to sleep to wake to being back on the Isle in the past. We have to relive everything that has happened, including this moment."

Before anyone could argue with her, a big boom resounded in the room with a loud shout, "YOU FAILED ME AGAIN!"

Mal sighed and greeted in a monotone, "Hello, Mother."

As before Maleficent appeared a few feet before Mal and she was pissed.

"I gave you a second chance," Maleficent fumed, "and this is how you waste it?!"

"You did this?" Mal questioned. "Why?"

"I'm asking the questions here." The mother snapped. "Why have you disappointed me again?"

The daughter sighed at her mother's actions. "Mother, all you did was give me more time with Ben. He's been so busy as king that we agreed to use this second time to give us more time to spend together. And right now, I wish we could return to that time."

Bad choice of words.

The wand could feel how strongly Mal wanted to go home, so with a big flash of light everything went black for everyone.

BANG!

Mal and Evie sat straight up from their beds when their dorm door busted open. Freddie rushed into the room and frantically scanned the room. "Where is she?" The daughter of Dr. Facilier demanded.

Evie yawned unceremoniously. "Where's who?"

"My sister, Uma!" Freddie shouted. "After Mal made her wish, everyone went back to what they were doing before they were sent back in time."

Evie and Mal looked around to realize that only a minute had passed by from when they supposedly fell asleep.

"So that really happened?" Mal questioned. "We really went back in time?"

Before Freddie could knock some sense into her, Lonnie ran into the room dressed in floral pajamas. "Guys," she turned her phone to the trio, "look at this!"

On her screen was the picture Harry and Uma on the beach. The date was set for the original date that she took the picture, which was six months ago.

"So if you have that picture," Evie began slowly, "then where are the Sea Three?"

As if the universe wanted to answer her question, Lonnie's phone dinged, signaling she had a text. The four didn't recognize the number, but they soon realized who it was when they read the five-word message.

No service. On Isle. Help!

And like the great author Rick Riordan, I'm ending this story on a cliffhanger. I'll be sure to post an Author's Note on here when I post the first chapter of the sequel. Please review!
