Evie paced back and forth, stealing glimpses at her watch. Dizzy had promised to be at the castle an hour ago. She knew how important attending the presentation was for making an impression on the original citizens of Auradon; sure, they loved Dizzy when she was cutting their hair, or styling it, or dying it. To most, though, she was still viewed as just a servant. A VK.

Evie was about to go back inside when she saw Dizzy riding up to the gate on her bike. Evie smiled and rushed to greet her.

"It's about time. I was getting worried."

"Sorry." Dizzy tilted pushed her glasses back up her nose. "Was I late?"

"You sent one of your clients ahead with the message that you'd be here at one. It's now two."

Dizzy rolled her eyes and giggled. "I was super swamped, E."

"Dizzy, practically of the kingdom is here. How could you be busy at the salon?"

"I was cleaning up. Sweeping up hair, mopping up the floors. Guess that my step-aunt rubbed off on me." Dizzy said quickly.

"If you're sure that was all-"

"It was! Come on, let's get inside. I can't wait to meet the new baby!"

Dizzy took Evie's hand and practically pulled her up the stairs and into the castle. Dizzy pushed open the doors to the throne room with a loud boom; startling practically everyone and earning stares. Lumiere cleared his throat and pulled at his jacket.

"Presenting, Lady Evie and Madamoiselle Dizzy." Lumiere announced.

Dizzy and Evie calmly approached the thrones of Mal and Ben and curtsied.

"Can we see him?" Dizzy asked in a whisper.

Mal smiled. "He's right over there in the bassinet."

Evie gasped. "Oh no! I left my present in my room!"

"It's okay, E. My present will be enough for both of us." Dizzy walked over to the bassinet and leaned over to get a look at the new prince. "Oh, he's so cute."

Mal approached Evie and took her arm. "I was worried she wasn't gonna make it."

Evie sighed. "So was I."

"I don't think I've ever seen her this excited."

"Neither have I." Evie said quietly.

"You would think this was her first time seeing him."

Evie turned to Mal. "What did you say?"

"You don't remember? Dizzy would visit me every day in the hospital."

A look of quiet panic spread across Evie's face as she grasped Mal's arm. "Mal, that's not Dizzy."

"What are you talking about?"

"That's not her. She told me outside that she couldn't wait to meet Benny."

"Then who is that?" Mal asked, raising her voice slightly.

"I don't know, I don't know. We just have to get her away from the baby-"

Both girls gasped when they saw Dizzy take out a vial filled with green liquid and pour it onto the baby. As Baby Ben let out a piercing wail and began to writhe, Ben called for the guards to seize Dizzy. Mal rushed over to the bassinet and scooped up Ben in her arms, trying to wipe the potion off of him.

"You're too late! Don't you know that?! I've won!" Dizzy yelled.

Before the entire kingdom, Dizzy dissappeared into a swirling blue mist. As soon as the mist cleared; Gerta was standing where Dizzy had been. The crowd gasped and screamed in horror.

"You!" Greta pointed at Queen Belle. "You married a monster! An animal! No matter what he looks like now, he'll always be an animal!" Greta then pointed at King Ben. "So will you! So will your son!"

Mal looked down at Baby Ben as slowly, but surely, his body began to change. Fur grew from his face, from his legs, from his arms, his ears became pointed and long. His cute little button nose had become a muzzle and his mouth filled with the smallest, sharpest, fangs.

"No!" Mal sobbed. "No, you can't do this!"

"I can't? I just did! Your precious little family is going to regret what it did to mine!"

"Guards! Seize her!" Ben shouted.

Greta panted and started backing up. "A good hunter knows how to get away from danger."

Greta ran over to the glass window and threw herself through it. Everyone rushed to see if the fall had killed her; instead she had landed on the tent that had been set up for the festivies. Greta unhitched a horse from a carriage and took off on it.

Mal panted heavily as she looked down at her crying son; her eyes glowing a dark green. Ben put his arm around her.

"Mal, calm down."

"Calm down?! Look at what she's done to Ben! I want her arrested, I want her-"

Ben turned Mal to face him. "Mal, don't say that! Don't bring yourself to that level. Not again. You're better than that."

Mal's eyes stopped glowing and she sighed deeply, her frantic panting now dissolving into tears. She leaned her head on Ben's shoulder.

"What do we do?" Mal asked.

"We find her. Then, we have her undo the curse." Ben said.

"I wouldn't of given up my magic if it meant preventing something like this." Mal whispered.

"Mal?"

Ben and Mal turned to Evie, who was now standing with Jay and Carlos.

"We're with you, Mal. We'll fix this. Together."

Ben took Mal's hand. "Together?"

Mal nodded slowly and sniffled. "Together."
