Once upon a time, long, long ago... well, more like 20 years ago...Belle married her beast in front of 6,000 of their closest personal friends. Yeah, so instead of a honeymoon, Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected king of the United States of Auradon. He rounded up all the villains and sidekicks, basically all the really interesting people and he booted them off to the isle of the lost with a magical barrier to keep them there. This is my hood. No magic. No wi-fi. No way out. For me at least. Hang on, you're about to meet us. But first this happened...

(3rd Person POV)

The future king of Auradon stares out at the Isle of The Lost as he is fitted for a suit.

"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned king next month? You're just a baby!" Beast asks as he enters the room with Belle on his arm. Beast and Belle are the parents of the future king.

"He's turning 16, dear," Belle reminds Beast as she smiles at her son.

"Hey, pops," The future king Ben says with a smile.

"16? That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42," Beast explains jokingly.

"Uh, you decided to marry me at 28," Belle reminds him.

"Ah, it was either you or a teapot," Beast teases, earning a glare from Belle and a smile from Ben. "Kidding."

"Mom, dad..." Ben says with all the courage that he has. "I've chosen my first official proclamation." Beast and Belle look at him expectantly. "I've decided that the children on the isle of the lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon. Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned."

"The children of our sworn enemies, living among us?" Beast asks as if it was the most obscured thing ever.

"We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen them," Ben explains.

"Have you?" Beast asks outraged.

"I gave you a second chance," Belle reminds Beast before nodding for her son to continue.

"Who are their parents?" Beast asks.

"Cruella de vil, Jafar, Evil queen, Hades, and Maleficent," Ben answers.

"Maleficent! Hades! They are the worst villains in the land!" Beast yells.

"Dad, just hear me out here," Ben pleads.

"I won't hear of it," Beast yells. "They are guilty of unspeakable crimes."

"Dad, their children are innocent. Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad?" Ben says causing Belle to give him a soft look before looking at Beast expectantly.

"I suppose their children are innocent," Beast says agreeing. "But you must choose between Maleficent's kid and Hades' because I will not have them both here." Ben nods in understanding before Beast leaves the room.
