Chapter One

A/N: I do not own any characters or anything else here. All characters and properties belong to Disney.

*ducks* I know, I know. I've got so many other stories in progress, why am I posting a new one? Well, I've seen a few of these 'Descendants watch their movie' fanfics and thought I'd try my hand. Please let me know what you think!

Oh, and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season and a happy New Year!

"A chance to do what, Ben? Destroy us?" Queen Leah asked, outraged at the sight of seeing the daughter of the woman who cursed her child walking around the kingdom of Auradon. It had seemed as though the future king had become smitten with the purple haired witch and somehow thought that she and the other villainous children from the isle could change. "You remember don't you? The poisoned apples, the spells. Spells!"

Turing to Mal, Queen Leah seemed to grow even more outraged. "My daughter was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps I missed it all!"

Quickly turning back to Ben, Queen Lean finished her speech. "You mustn't trust her."

If one looked closely at Mal's face, one might have noticed an apologetic look on her face. Or at least what came close to an apologetic look for someone who spent their entire life on the Isle of the Lost. She opened her mouth, to apologize for her mother's actions.

Granted, her mother wasn't completely guiltless—I mean the christening of the newborn princess was the social event of the year. King Stephen and Queen Leah invited those clods Flora, Fauna and Merrywether to the christening but her mother wasn't. The same woman who Queen Leah had referred to as 'your excellency' hadn't even warranted an invitation.

I mean, let's not forget Mother gave them the chance to apologize before that idiot Merrywether opened her mouth, Mal thought, having read the royal transcript of the event. But she doesn't get blamed for Sleeping Beauty getting cursed! No, she's one of the 'good guys'. Also, can I just point out that Mother's curse was to take place on the child's 16th birthday? She could have been raised at home!

Before Mal could say anything though, a bright light shone through the courtyard, blinding all of them in the process. When Mal recovered her sight, she gasped at who was standing before them.

"Bibbity-bobbity," Fairy Godmother exclaimed and quickly knelt down at the sight of a woman dressed in all blue and shining golden hair.

"Blue Fairy," King Beast sighed in relief and released his wife and son from the protective hold he had on them. "To what do we owe the honor?"

The blue fairy smiled at the king and nodded her head in a return greeting. "Your majesties. I do apologize for interrupting. After all, this is family day and I have no children of my own here. However, I couldn't help but hear this young woman being attacked and no one other than Ben stepped in to assist."

"Blue Fairy," Queen Leah sighed in relief, thinking she would finally have a powerful enough ally to get those wretched children out of the school and back to the Isle where they belonged.

"Yes Queen Leah, did you have something else you'd like to say about fairies?" Blue Fairy turned to the aged queen and asked, her smile having vanished from her face. The queen frowned and flushed in part frustration and part embarrassment that the most powerful magic user in the land had heard that.

It didn't help that Fairy Godmother was now frowning at her in disappointment.

"Your majesty," the blue fairy turned back to King Beast, "have you ever looked into the conditions of the Isle you left all of the villains in the land?"

The king's silence told the blue fairy all she needed to know. "Your majesty, I do apologize for what I'm about to do."

Although the conditions seem unwell,

Let us see where villains dwell

Though it may seem absurd

Heel the wound between our worlds

Another round of bright light appeared and surrounded the whole party. When it faded, several people gasped upon seeing that they were no longer on the grounds of Auradon Prep.

"Blue Fairy!" Cinderella exclaimed. "Why have you done this?"

"It needed to be done dear," the blue fairy said calmly. "Fairy magic is powerful but it can only do so much. I happen to agree with our young prince here, that these young people should be given a second chance. It might just be necessary to show why that is important instead of telling you."

"They're villains!"

"Just like their parents!"

Mal tried her hardest to keep a straight face, to make sure that no one thought her weak or thrown by the insults. On the Isle, that's how you were raised. If you were offended by insults, then you wouldn't make a good villain.

But to see these people, these heroes, refuse to allow them a second chance….Mal wouldn't deny that it was more than a little heartbreaking to see that only Ben had faith in them. Even Lonnie, the one girl Mal thought it might be good to know on an non-wand related matter, was keeping silent.

"Wow, I'd never thought I'd see Aladdin refuse to give someone a second chance," Jay muttered as he slid up to Mal, taking his place on her left side. Evie swiftly looped her arm through Mal's right arm—Carlos taking his place on Evie's other side.

"Guys, maybe we should just sit down," Mal whispered to the group.

"Honestly, with how hostile it is, I'd rather be anywhere but here," Carlos told her. "But you know the most about fairies, after all your mom used to be one. If you think it's safe, I'll follow you Mal."

"You know I'll always be there Mal," Evie smiled at her best friend. "Just…keep me away from Snow White. Her husband's glaring at me and I'd rather not be yelled at."

"Well honestly he doesn't have a leg to stand on here," Mal told her. "If he's going to judge us for who our parents are, then I'll just judge him for kissing who he thought was dead girl."

"I love the fact you pay attention in history class," Evie smirked.

Mal returned the smirk in kind and quickly picked a cluster of seats far away from the group of so-called heroes. Evie, as always, sat to her right while the boys quickly grabbed seats behind the two. It wasn't as if they thought they couldn't protect themselves—honestly, Mal had to assume it had to do with being a little wary of the Blue Fairy.

Mal, though, couldn't help but feel relieved at the thought of another magic user other than Fairy Godmother. Fairy Godmother may have been powerful but Blue was someone on the side of good that you did not mess with.

Even her mother had said that at one time or another.

"Maybe we should all sit down," Ben suggested, noticing the actions of the Isle kids. He couldn't help but admit that it hurt, seeing them all huddled together like a group of outsiders. He wanted to go and sit next to Mal but he knew it would be a long time before his father would let him out of his sight. But the last thing he wanted was for Mal and the others to think that he was siding with Queen Leah and the others.

Locking eyes with Mal, Ben couldn't help but become relived at her slight nod. It was if she was saying 'I know' without speaking.

"An excellent idea Prince Ben," the Blue Fairy nodded and one by one the royals all began to sit down. A small frown appeared at the obvious divide between where the heroes sat and where the Isle kids.

"Let us begin," she said and quickly waved her wand at the screen.
