This is only based on the first movie, not the sequel movies or books. I hope you enjoy the story! Now, I'm only doing the disclaimer once so here it is.

Fairy Godmother's suspicions first began to appear when she started to teach the children from the Isle of the Lost lessons in Remedial Goodness 101. She knew that life had to have been rough on them, what with having villains as parents and such. But never in all of her years of teaching had she ever encountered students like them.

It was like they were born with these evil instincts. The boys answered her questions with the wrong answer every time, Evie seemed disinterested in every topic they covered, and Mal was just...Mal. She answered questions correctly but it was like every answer was a strategy tactic in a game of survival.

But she ignored her worries. After all, everyone deserves a second chance. And she had helped many people leave their darkness behind them and follow the path of light, as cheesy as that might sound. If anyone could get these kids to be good, she could...right?

Then she had the "brilliant" idea to try and make the kids feel at home. Since Family Day was coming up, FG (Fairy Godmother) thought that she could arrange for a special video chat between the VKs and their parents. In hindsight, she realized maybe that wasn't the best thing to do since Prince Ben wanted the kids to change their ways and being in touch with their parents was probably counter-productive.

All of them were rude to her, which was expected but also disappointing. None of them seemed to have changed in the slightest, besides the fact that Cruella somehow got even crazier than she was when she was sent to the Isle.

Which was why she had to commend Carlos on having the nerve to defend a dog against his mother. But he shouldn't have had to. He shouldn't have felt like he needed to explain why he didn't want Dude to be turned into earmuffs, or that he loved that dog. It should have been obvious to his mother that he felt that way. But it wasn't.

Out of all of the parents, Evie's mom was the only one who seemed genuinely happy to see her daughter again. But after she told Evie how beautiful she was, the ex-queen had to go and compliment herself. Other than that, Evie seemed to be more on edge due to the other parents than her own, which FG still wasn't entirely sure if that was a good sign or not.

But she could see why. If Jay hadn't turned off the monitor, FG probably would have. Throughout the entire call, Jay seemed so indifferent to his father, as if the ex-Vizir wasn't even there. Even when he said "you children are never far from our thoughts," Jay hardly reacted at all. It was only when Carlos was talking to his own mom that Jay reached out a hand, either wanting to comfort the younger boy or maybe stop him from saying something he'd regret later on.

And Mal looked miserable when her mother said her name and acted both cold and distant when she spoke to Maleficent. But polite as well, and FG could only wonder The girl's mother began to act all sappy, saying things like "how long must mommy wait to see you?" and "you! That little nugget that I miss so much."

Even FG could see through the act. Clearly, something was going on, but FG didn't have the heart to question any of the teens after her 'treat' went awry. So she just chalked it up to the parents wanting to put on a show since she was still in the room with the children.

It made total sense after all of the events at Coronation. FG shook her head as she sat down at her writing desk. So many plots had been going on right under her nose, and even her own daughter played a hand in it! Those poor kids wanted so badly to make their parents proud and were so scared to choose to be good because of how afraid they were of their parents.

No child should be scared of the people who are supposed to love them. And Mal looked so sad when her mother shrunk down due to the lack of love in her heart. Everything had been broadcasted too, and some of the people of Auradon were scared of the VKs and wanted them to leave. The rest were unsure of how they felt.

Something had to be done. So FG got out some parchment and began to write a letter to her fellow fairies, who were the only ones who could help her. It'd been a while since she had performed magic (Coronation aside), and with such a big spell, she needed all the magical help she could get.

Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, the Blue Fairy, and, of course, Tinkerbell had once been the closest friends she'd ever had. They had all gone through fairy training together and made a vow to help one another if needed. FG hoped they hadn't forgotten their promise and that they were able to come. If her plan was to work, she'd need it to happen sooner rather than later.

AN: All of the titles for each chapter are either song lyrics or quotes from the actual Descendants movie (2015). And the remaining seven chapters will be posted all at once so you don't have to worry about waiting. Hope you enjoy!
