Epilogue

Three Years Later…

"Mal, stop it." Evie tells her as she apples her eyeliner on. "Just keep your eyes closed. I'm almost done."

It was a very special day today. Today was the royal wedding between Ben and Mal. The whole land of Auradon was more than happy about the power couple finally tying the knot. Unfortunately, being Auradon's most famous couple wasn't that exciting.

During the eight month engagement, all the news teams and photographers have been catching them at their awkward moments and made up stories to sell to everybody.

The one Mal hated the most was before Ben proposed. Octavia came with him to help him look for the engagement ring since Evie was busy. Auradon News sold the story as "Wedding Bells Ringing for King Ben and…Who's She?!" The front cover of it was simply Octavia and Ben looking at the ring in an astounding way.

Mal saw it, but didn't believe any of it. The whole cheating scandal ruined the whole proposal. Ben was going to pop the question where they had their first date, but he decided to do before anymore rumors spread out.

"I'm sorry, E." Mal apologizes and closes her eyes. "I'm just so nervous. My heart is beating a thousand times faster than it should."

Jane walks over and takes hold of her hand. "Mal, take deep breaths. You can't be so tense. Everything's going to be perfect."

At that moment, Elizabeth walks in and shuts the door. "Mal, Jack and I made sure that no photographers or news reporters coming into the place. The only person who's taking pictures is Lonnie. Nobody is coming in unless they got an invitation. And if they try, I'll kick them in their dingos." She pounds her fist against her hand.

"Calm down, Liz." Octavia tells her. "You're making Mal nervous."

"Oh, sorry." Elizabeth quickly apologized. "Could've been worse. Like what happened to your first dress."

Mal's eyes shot open and looks at the pirate. "You mean when I told Ben not to see it because it was bad luck. Then, he did see it and pretended like it was no big deal and accidentally ripped it."

"At least he came over to me so I could fix it while I was watching Dude," Evie reminds her of the event. "But he accidentally placed it on Dude's plate of dog food and got it stained."

Octavia added. "And Liz spilled black paint on it."

"I was giving people tattoos!" Elizabeth exclaims. "Plus, afterwards, Ben threw in the washer and dryer. Little did he know that he wasn't supposed to dry it."

"On the other hand, the dress didn't look that bad when it turned grey." Jane mentions. "But at least he learned his lesson and Evie made you a new one just in time."

Evie was done with the makeup on Mal's face. "What do you think?" She shrieks.

Her reflection in the mirror made her gasp. Mal had never felt more beautiful than now. The fairy's pale face was like beauty itself. Her purple hair was pulled back in a thick bun and a white veil was hanging on top. She felt like crying, but she didn't want mascara running down her face.

"Mal, you look beautiful," Octavia gasped.

"Wait 'til Ben sees you." Elizabeth comments as she fixes her bridesmaids dress.

After those eighth months of engagement, Mal figured that she should thank her bridal party. "Guys, I just wanna say thank you for everything. I know I've been a little on edge since Ben proposed. It's just that I want everything to be perfect and you guys are amazing for putting up with me."

Elizabeth Hook pats her on the back. "Hey, what are friends for? We should really thank you for letting us be your bridesmaids."

"Oh, Liz, I'm glad that you and Jack are handling security." Mal kindly says to her. "I just didn't want people distracting us and ruining this."

"Nobody is getting any news about the wedding," Elizabeth assures her.

Then, Mal walks over to Jane. Sweet and shy Jane. "I'm glad you're here too, Jane. I'm sorry that you have to walk with Carlos. I know things have been weird since you broke up."

During the engagement, Jane and Carlos were dating for about three months. Carlos was the one to break it off because he realized that Jane was really his friend. "Mal, it's okay," Jane tells her friend. "Carlos and I made up already. We're friends now. Plus, we're the shortest ones so it's fine."

"Mal, we don't exactly know how crazy engagements can get since none of us are engaged." Octavia says. "Gus is so terrified of getting serious. At least I know he still loves me."

"Same with Doug," added Evie.

"And Jack," Elizabeth added.

Jane claps her hands once and shrieks, "Oh, Mal, that reminds me! You need the four things: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue."

"Here, Mal." Evie slips her bracelet off her wrist and gives it to her best friend. "It has blue diamonds in there."

Mal puts on the bracelet. "Now I need something new."

"The shoes at Cinderella's Shoe Store we just got today." Octavia reminded her. "You need something borrowed."

"You can borrow my lucky crocodile claw." Elizabeth tosses the claw to Mal.

She stares at it in disgust, but fakes a smile. "Thanks, Liz, it…smells weird."

"Yeah, taste like chicken," she laughs. "Jack cooked it up and left the claw for me. You need something old."

The door opens and a voice asks, "Am I old enough?"

It was Maurice. He had on a suit made for him by Evie. At first, he didn't want to dress up for the wedding, but Belle insisted.

"Maurice," Mal gasped. "You look very handsome."

"Thank you, dear." He holds her small hand in his wrinkled hands. "You look beautiful. All of you girls. The wedding is about to start."

All of them quickly headed to the front entrance of the building where Ben had his coronation. The entire land of Auradon was invited even Maleficent, who was kept in a cage.

First came Ben with his parents escorting him to the altar. King Benjamin had on a black suit with his signature color blue as his tie and vest. Once he reached the altar, his parents sat down in their seats.

Next was Dude. The small dog sprints down the aisle with a pillow strapped on his back and the wedding rings on top. Everybody laughs and smiles as the dog stop at Ben. The king pets him on the head and keeps him still.

Next were Carlos and Jane walked down the aisle. After graduation, Jane decides to follow in her mother's footsteps and becomes vice principal on Auradon Prep. She is on the verge of becoming the official head mistress.

As for Carlos De Vil, he opened a hotel for dogs in Auradon called De Vil's Home for Dogs, where they take in strays or dogs that have been abused. They allow people to check out the dogs and even adopt them.

They separated on the opposite sides and that's when Jay and Octavia were coming. Mal had the bridesmaids and groomsmen go from shortest to tallest except for maid of honor and best man. Since Gus and Garion were taller, Jay agreed to walk with Octavia.

Now that he has returned and reclaimed his throne, Jay was officially a prince. He enjoyed living in a palace and getting along with his parents. Jay had never felt this loved since ever. He loves Aladdin and Jasmine very much.

Octavia was done with high school as well and became a teacher at Auradon Prep. Her subject was magic and spells. She teaches about controlling magic and learning new spells for any children who have magical powers within them. After Gus confessed his love for her, Octavia gave him a chance and they've been dating ever since.

After them came Gustav and Elizabeth.

Captain Hook's daughter made a living by starting her own tattoo shop called the Jolly Roger. She and Jack give people tattoos and piercings, and love running it. After hearing about their dating news, Hook screamed so loud that even Auradon could hear him. Elizabeth ignored it and never saw her father again.

As for Gustav, he decided to open up a shop building weapons for a living. He enjoyed making swords, axes, and other weapons. Both him and Garion run it, and Garion invents most of the new gadgets. Octavia would often use her magic helping him figure out the designs and weaponry. Together they couldn't have been happier.

Once they were all at he altar, it was Garion and Evie, the best man and maid of honor. Everybody knew that Evie would be Mal's maid of honor, but the guys were practically fighting over who gets to be Ben's best man. Garion won after they flipped a coin.

Evie became a fashion designer of Auradon designing women's clothing for all over the land. Nobody could resist not wanting to buy any of her clothes. All the famous queens and princesses were wearing outfits from her clothing lines.

The same goes for Garion running a weaponry shop with his brother. He begins helping Maurice with inventing everything they could think of. However, Gaston disowned both of his sons because Garion was inventing things and Gus was dating a sea witch. Since they were officially orphans, Adam and Belle decide to take Gus and Garion in their custody and eventually adopting them as their new sons.

All of them were now at the altar. The groomsmen had on the same tuxedos as Ben, but their ties and vests were purple like the the girls' dresses.

Doug composes the band as everybody stands up. They turn their attention to Mal, who had on his white dress and veil covering her face. Since she didn't exactly had any family, Maurice decides to walk his new granddaughter-in-law down the aisle.

With everybody's eyes on her, Mal was able to hear her heartbeat. She kept all her attention on Ben.

Once the graduated from Auradon Prep, Mal started a program for the school called Descendants. It was a program for letting all children from the Isle of the Lost come to school for a shot of redemption. Mal handles all of them and keeps an eye on them.

At last, Mal reached her fiancée. She turns back and gives Maurice a small kiss on his forehead. The old man goes to sit down along with everybody else.

Fairy Godmother was the one who was officiated the couple. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage between King Benjamin Florian Maurice Killian and Maleficent Bertha Faery."

"That's what Mal is short for?" Octavia whispers to Evie.

"Yep, her mom named her after herself." She replies.

Jane quietly snickers to Elizabeth. "Get it, Liz? Ben's marrying Maleficent. Sounds so funny in my head."

"If anyone objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace." Fairy Godmother says aloud.

Moments later, Ben jumps back from Mal. "Ouch!" On his hand was the lizard, Maleficent.

Mal rolls her eyes and whines, "Mom, stop it!"

"I got her, Mal," Jack says as he comes up to them. He takes Maleficent off of the king. "Ben, your mother-in-law is a piece of work. Maleficent, quit it." He sits back down with the lizard in his hand.

Fairy Godmother clears her throat. "Okay, no objections. I would like to say a few words. In all traditional love stories, it involves a prince, a princess, and a true love's kiss. Well you two have define true love. True love isn't about meeting a person for the first time and falling in love. It's about being needed and wanted by that one person who makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Now I believe that you two have prepared vows for each other."

During that, Elizabeth's eyes were closed and she was quietly snoring. Octavia looks back and nudges her with her elbow. The pirate opens her eyes and pays attention again.

Ben looks at the love of his life. "Mal, you're different from all the other girls. You stand out from the rest and you don't care what anybody says. I accept you as you are and you accept me too. When I thought of my wedding day, I thought I would be marrying a of princess who cares about her dress and ceremony more than me. But I didn't. I got someone who is way better than any princess in Auradon. I have you and you are everything I ever wanted. You have your moments and flaws, but I still love you no matter what."

Gustav heard a sniffle from behind him. He turns back and finds Jay wiping his cheeks. "Jay, are you crying?" He whispers to his friend.

"No, I got something in my eye," he whispers back.

"Yeah, tears." Carlos smirks.

"Ben, I remember when we first met." Mal begins her vows. "At first, I found to be weird because you were going to king of Auradon and you talked to me. Then, I knew that you were truly kind at heart because you didn't care where I came from or who my mother was. All my life, I didn't know what love was. I didn't even know that it exist until our first date. I remember when you saved me from drowning in the water. You put your arm around me for the first time. You made goodness out of Maleficent's only daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine. I love you, Ben."

Garion bites down on his lip. "Oh, my god," he whispers. "Gus, our brother's getting married."

"Yeah, we have another brother and a sister-in-law," Gus whispers back. "I'm so proud."

"The rings." Fairy Godmother says. At that moment, Dude walks over to Ben, who leans down and takes their rings off his pillow. The dog walks back to Carlos and sits. "Maleficent, do you take Benjamin to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, in joy and sorrow, for as long as you both shall live."

Mal places the ring on Ben's finger and vows, "I do."

"Benjamin, do you take Maleficent to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, in joy and sorrow, for as long as you both shall live."

"I do." He proudly promises as he slips the ring on Mal's finger.

"By the power vested in me, by the land of Auradon, I now pronounce you husband and wife," Fairy Godmother proclaims. "You may kiss the bride!"

The new married couple leans into each other and share a victorious kiss. Everybody cheers for them as they kiss.

Elizabeth triumphantly takes out her sword and yells, "Ha-Zar!"

"Liz, this isn't a pirate wedding," Octavia tells her.

"Just let her." Ben assures her.

"Let's give it up for King Benjamin and Queen Maleficent!" Elizabeth howls.

And they all lived happily after.
