I was too excited and bursting with the plot bunnies that I just had to get the last chapter out.

Speaking of chapters: anyone notice the chapter titles? Yes, they are lines of dialogue featured in the chapter, but each chapter title features a line by a different character. First it was Jay, then Mal, then Carlos, Evie, Doug, and Ben.

I wonder which character gets the last one…

Evie and Doug were in the workshop when the knock at the back door came. "It's open!" Evie called to the guest, keeping her eyes on her latest creation while Doug kept his eye on the books.

In stepped Mal. "Mail call for Evie and Doug," she presented a letter to the couple. "Whoa," she noticed the dress, "that's a lot of pearls."

"It's for Doug's Mom."

"Did you forget her birthday or something?"

"Mom's decided to go back on tour with the other Pearlies," Doug informed her. "Evie's making outfits for all five members of the band as her last big to-do project."

"Your mom was in a band?" Mal didn't know this.

"Ever hear of a little song called 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'?"

"Your mom knows Mary Poppins?"

"I know Mary Poppins. When she's not traveling to other worlds and dimensions, she's a really fun babysitter—I highly recommend her."

"Dopey met his wife when her band came on tour in their kingdom and needed more pearls for their outfits," Evie clarified. "I guess one's best bet is to get in touch with the guys who mine for diamonds."

"I think I got the musical talent from Mom though. Fun fact: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was also my first word."

"Your dad plays the drums."

"Ah, but that is one instrument that I cannot play."

Mal seemed impressed by these discoveries "That's actually kinda cool to know, Doug." Doug shrugged. "I'm learning something new every day about you."

"It's not like we haven't known each other for years or anything."

"I'm guessing you inherited your father's sense of humor?"

"If we're done with our friendly banter," Evie tried to get back on topic, "what brings the queen to our humble castle?" Mal handed Evie the letter. "It's for both of us, Doug," her husband stood up and went to her side to read over her shoulder. "Her Royal Highness, Princess Melody, cordially invites Sir Doug and Lady Evie—and their future descendant—to a Royal Reunion to be held on the beach of Prince Eric's kingdom, yada, yada, yada, inform Melody within a month of receiving the invitation, limit three other guests, lots of love."

"Ben and I are putting in an appearance. Invites have also gone out to Audrey, Chad, and Aladdin and Jasmine's son."

"Aziz," Doug reminded them of his friend's name, "he's the youngest member of our gang."

"Gang?"

"Practically every summer the original six princesses and their kids—or in my case god-kid—would get together for a few weeks in Ariel's kingdom. It was me, Chad, Audrey, Melody, Ben, and Aziz."

"That's so sweet," Evie cooed at that. "We have to do that."

"I see no reason why not."

"Should we bring guests?"

"I was actually hoping you guys could bring Jay, Carlos, and Jane," Mal requested. "My invite quota is full."

"Oh?"

"The barrier may be broken, but people still have bad impressions of villain kids and we're working on changing that. So Ben and I took the liberty of inviting Gil, Harry, and Uma."

"And they said yes?"

"It took some persuasion."

"Then we'll be happy to invite Jay, Carlos, and Jane on your behalf."

Mal turned to Doug. "Things aren't as awkward between you and Jay anymore?"

"As long as we never speak of the incident again," Doug replied.

Evie giggled at him before addressing her friend. "Hey Mal, I've been meaning to ask you about your fortune telling; are you still-"

"It's not my thing," Mal interrupted. "I talked to Professor Merlin about what happened, and even he thinks it's best that I never look into the future again because it'll only lead to trouble."

"Amen to that," Doug agreed.

"At least I know I can do it."

Evie considered this. "That's right; all your visions came true."

"Not quite," Mal stepped outside. There was some kind of commotion Doug and Evie couldn't decipher before watching Uma be pushed inside the workshop by Mal.

"Uma?"

"Hey, ya'll, how ya doin'," Uma nervously greeted.

"Ahem," Mal pretended to clear her throat. When Uma didn't move, Mal gently shoved her forward.

"Evie…I was wondering if…nah-uh, can't do this," before she could get out the door, Mal turned her back around.

"You owe me."

Uma took a deep breath. "couldyoumakemeadressforthereunion?" she said that very quietly and very quickly.

"Beg pardon," Evie couldn't understand.

"It sounds like she asked if you could make her a dress for the reunion," Doug translated. The girls all looked at him with various expressions. "Well you try living with Uncle Bashful; see if he talks loud around you."

"Uma, you want me to make you a dress?"

"Yeah, I guess," Uma mumbled under her breath. This made Evie squee with delight and pull Uma in for a hug (as best she could with the baby bump in the way). "Please never do that again."

"I have so many plans for this dress. Here's what I'm visualizing…"

As Evie went into great detail (much to Uma's dismay), Doug went over to Mal. "I have a feeling this is also your doing."

"I have a thing about being right, and I wouldn't be totally right unless all my visions came true." Mal smirked as she saw the displeased face Uma was making. "Even if it means I make them happen."

"Because that doesn't lead to disaster." Mal playfully swatted him. Together, they turned toward the perky Evie and the bitter Uma. "You really saw this happening with Evie and Uma?"

"After what I saw with you, I lied to Evie and told her my vision for her was Uma coming into the shop and asking for a dress."

"Which seems just as unbelievable as what you really saw."

"True: but that," she gestured to Evie and Uma, "now that is something even I gotta see."

And with that, we conclude our story.

I figured we honestly don't know much about Doug, maybe I can add a little something. If you look close in the first Descendants movie, you can see a brunette woman next to a short man fixing Doug's tie. Okay, so are there any brunette Disney characters who could conceivably have a connection to the seven dwarfs? If not, how can we make one? Thinking about brunette characters led me to Mary Poppins, which reminded me of her visit into the chalk drawings, and then I remembered the animated band behind her during the big musical number (they're called 'Pearlies', it's a British thing apparently). So I decided to make the fiddle playing Pearly lady in blue Doug's unofficial mother and created a valid reason for her to meet Dopey.

Think of it as a little treat from one fan to another.

I hope you had just as much fun reading this as I did telling it. RIP Cameron Boyce, and peace out!
