Seeing Our Parents

We were in the Remedial Goodness 101 Classroom Fairy Godmother had a surprise for us. Children, excuse me. Um, as you know, uh, this Sunday is family day here at Auradon Prep. And because your parents can't be here due to, uh, distance, we've arranged for a special treat. She said.

Soon our parents showed up on a TV screen. I saw my dad and felt like he will be disappointed in me. I don't see anything, nor do I hear. Maleficent said. Fairy Godmother said, Kids! Is it... is it... is... Dad said. Jafar said, Press enter.

Can I please see a remote? Is this thing on? Ugh, It's broken. Ugh! I hate electronic equip... Oh! Maleficent said. Evil Queen said, Evie, It's mommy. Oh! Look how beautiful. Oh, you know what they say, the poison apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Don't you mean the weeds? Maleficent said. Ooh! Who's the old bat? Said Dad. This is Fairy Godmother. Mal said. Maleficent said, Still doing tricks with eggplants? Fairy Godmother said, turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage. Maleficent said, You really couldn't give Cinderella till one A.M.? I mean, really. What, the hamsters had to be back on their little wheels? Fairy Godmother said, They were mice! They were not... they were mice. They were not...

Thank you so much. Mal said. Thank you. I said. Fairy Godmother said once again, They were mice. Mal said, Hi, mom. Maleficent said, Mal! I m-m-miss you. Jafar said, You children are never far from our thoughts. My Angel! How long must daddy wait to see you? Said Dad.

Um, there's a big coronation coming up. I think sometime probably after... that. I said. Maleficent said, When? Mal said, Friday, 10 A.M. Maleficent said, You sure I can't see you before that? I don't know what I'll do If I don't get my hands on that magic wan... EQ hit her. you... you little nugget that I love so much. Said Maleficent. Yes, I completely understand, mother. Said Mal.

Carlos, is that a dog? Oh, yes, yes, baby, I do understand. It would make the perfect size for earmuffs. Cruella said. Carlos said, He's the perfect size for a pet. Cruella said, Oh! Carlos said, This dog loves me, and I love him. And fyi, your dog is stuffed!

Cruella said, Oh! Carlos said, So give it a rest! Oh-ho! Burn! Jafar said. Oh! Why don't you go sell a toaster, you two-bit salesman! Cruella said. People who talk to stuffed animals shouldn't throw stones. Jafar said.

Oh, well, people who sell toasters shouldn't use mixed metaphors. Cruella said. Enough! Dad said. Fairy Godmother said, I'm so sorry. After turning it off. Thanks for the special treat. Jay said. Fairy Godmother said, Of course. Evie said, Umm G? What do you think our parents are gonna do to us. If we don't pull this off?

I think they will be quietly disappointed in us, but ultimately... Proud of us for doing our best. I said. Really? Carlos said. No, I think we are definitely goners. I said. Yeah. Evie said.

We were in Jay and Carlos' Dorm. Okay, we all know what this looks like. So it'll be up on the dais under the beast's spell jar, and we'll be coming in from here. I will be in the very front. You all will be up in the balcony. Okay. Carlos? I said.

Okay, so I'll find our limo, so we can break the barrier, and, uh, get back on the island with the wand. Said Carlos. Perfect. Evie? Mal said. Yeah? Evie said. You will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he'll be out like a light. Mal said.

I looked at Mal's spell book. Okay. G? You want to break Ben's love spell? Said Evie. Yeah. You know, for after. I don't... I've just been thinking, you know, when the villains finally do invade Auradon, and begin to loot and kick everyone out of their castles and imprison their leaders and destroy all that is good and beautiful, Ben still being in love with me just seems a little extra... cruel. I said soon leaving. G?

I was soon in the kitchen.

♫ A million thoughts in my head ♫
♫ Should I let my heart keep listening? ♫
♫ I know It's time to say good-bye ♫
♫ So hard to let go ♫

I needed a tear and I felt one on the side of my cheek.
