Once upon a long, long time ago… okay so maybe more like twenty years ago. Belle married her Beast in front of six thousand of their closets friends.

Big cake, yeah so anyway instead of going on a honeymoon, Beast united all the Kingdoms and got himself elected King of the United States of Auradon.

With that he rounded up all the villains and sidekicks, basically all the interesting people and booted them off to the Isle of the Lost, supplied with a magical barrier to keep everyone on the Island.

Now this is my hood

No magic

No Wi-Fi

No way out

Or so I thought, don't worry you'll met us soon enough

But first this happened,

Caught staring out the window again Prince Ben looked towards the Isle of the Lost a slight frown mirroring his face. As he thought about all those innocent kids living on that island all because of who their parents are?

Looking down at the run downed island he couldn't help but shake his head sadly, they maybe the children of villains but didn't they deserve a chance to decide their own path? To write their own story?

"Sleeve" the royal tailor mumbled breaking Ben out of his gaze towards the island and bringing him back to the presence.

As the tailor continued his poking and prodding of the soon to be King getting his final measurements for his royal highnesses carnation outfit, all a bit unnecessary if you'd asked Ben all the fuss, but that was the life of a Royal.

Lifting his arm Ben continued looking out the window, wondering how he was going to tell his parents about his first official proclamation.

Turns out he didn't have to wonder long when the room's door suddenly opened and in walked Queen Belle and King Adam, also known as Beauty and the Beast or to Ben his parents.

He took in a breath it was now or never, his father smiled "How is it possible that you're going to be crowned King next month?" he asked perplexed.

"He's sixteen dears" Belle chimed in as Ben smiled at his parents "Hey pops" Ben greeted as the tailor moved away and started tinkering with the sleeve on the other side.

"Sixteen? That's far too young to be King. I myself didn't make a good decision until I was at least forty-two" Adam said looking thoughtful.

As Belle snapped her focus back from her son back to her husband "Um, you decided to marry me at twenty-eight" she said giving him an inquired look.

Causing the King to shrug "Well it was either you or the teapot" he said in a very matter of fact tone… before throwing a wink towards his son.

Smiling when Belle lightly smacked him on the shoulder "Just joking dear" he admitted still smiling playfully at his wife.

Ben couldn't help but smile at his parents, hoping to one day find love like his parents shared. But he couldn't dwell on that for long as he took in a deep breath.

When his parents had entered the room, he knew it was now time to tell them. "Mom" he started "Dad" he began "I have chosen my first official proclamation."

Belle and Beast looked at each other excited, wondering on what their son had decided on, pushing forward Ben continued.

"I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost should be given a chance to live here in Auradon" Ben declared to the now very shell-shocked room.

Deciding the silence was so far so good, he continued "Every time I look out on the Island I feel like they've been abandoned." Ben said stepping down from the tailors' podium taking a step towards his still in shock parents.

"The children of our sworn enemies living here, among us?" Adam said looking at his son doubtfully.

"Well… We'll start out with just a few first, the ones that need our help the most" Ben assured his dad "I've already chosen them" said Ben.

"Have you?" Adam asked walking up to his son not entirely convinced, as Belle rested her hand on his arm "I gave you a second chance."

She told the Beast listening he let out a soft sigh and a reluctant nod, turning their attention back toward their son.

"Who are their parents?" Belle asked still trying to keep an opened mind.

"Cruella DeVil, Jafar, Evil Queen… Maleficent, and Hades." Ben said bracing himself for their reactions and King Adam did not disappoint.

"MALEFICENT AND HADES? They Are the Worst Villains in The Land!" Adam shouted the "Beast" roaring its ugly (sometimes scary) head.

"Dad just hear me out." Ben stated calmly trying to stay focus despite his father's angry outburst. "I won't hear of it" the King dismissed "They are Guilty of Unspeakable Crimes" his father roared unimpressed.

"Dad… Their children are innocent; don't you think they deserve a chance at a normal life?" Ben asked, sparing his father a pleading look.

Which seemed to have the desired affect as his father calmed down, pondering he took a deep breath "I suppose the children are innocent." The king finally if reluctantly agreed.

"Well done" Belle said smiling at her son as she fixed his coat, knowing if Ben could convince his father there wasn't anything he couldn't handle as King.

Walking back to her husband Belle smiled "Shall we?" she inquired as she and Adam left the room, leaving Ben alone to his thoughts.

He turned back towards the window looking out towards the Island hoping he could help the kids whose lives were taken away just because of who their parents are.

Meanwhile in the Underworld…
