Music's booming on a large ship, students are dancing and the paparazzi is focused on Evie. When she mentions Dizzy, the screen cuts to the young girl squealing.

Even Audrey had to admit that the girl was growing on her.

Carlos and Jane walk down the steps and are greeted by Fairy Godmother.

"Oh here we go," Rain grins and Carlos glares "Look, something horrible is obviously about to happen to me, let me have this,"

"Mom I have a date," FG doesn't seem to connect that Carlos is right next to Jane, until jane grabs his hands "Mom..."

"Oh!"

There are a few grins and smirks, Ben at least has the decency to hide it behind his hand, watching as Rain silently laughs to herself.

Next, the screen shows Rain in a light blue dress with black and red flowers all over it, trying to regulate her breathing.

"Aw..." Evie covers her mouth "Rain! You're so pretty,"

"Thanks,"

The music stops and the trumpets that signal Rain's arrival start.

"Princess Rain of Corona! The future lady Rain!" Lumiere announces

"Why does everything sound fancy in French?"

One of the guard's gestures for Rain to start the walk. When she starts, it's choppy.

"Oh god what if I fall over?" Rain hugs a pillow to her chest.

The school stares, and panic is evident in Rain's eyes, before Evie starts clapping rapidly. The others follow her lead. Rain's best friends holler and shout her name whilst everyone else claps politely. She sticks her tongue out before descending the steps carefully and Ben's dad comes to help her down the last four or so steps, pulling her over to him and Belle.

"Ben is on his way," Belle assures

"That sounds kinda worrying," Lonnie cringes "Oh no,"

"I'm sorry your parents couldn't make it," Belle apologies "You look really beautiful"

"Oh, thank you," Rain looks down "They're busy, I get it,"

"I know we were shocked at first," Belle takes her hands, forcing Rain to look into her eyes. "but you are exactly what Ben needs,"

"Think it's the other way around," Rain quietly mutters and Ben slightly nudges her, she grins and nudges him back.

"And lucky for me, she doesn't go by first impressions," Rain laughs awkwardly at Beast before catching sight of Evie and Carlos in the corner of her eye. They bow before taking her hands.

"Hi,"

"How are you?" They both help Rain down as Evie poses the question.

"Happy to be put out of that conversation," Evie laughs "But also, like I'm going to throw up," Carlos lets go of Rain's arm and joins Jane, Rain smiles at both of them. Mal takes her hand that Evie isn't holding.

"We're right here with you, okay?" Rain nods at her reassurance.

The trumpets sound again "King Benjamin!"

The girls stand either side of Rain as she watches Ben gracefully walk down the steps, much quicker than he did at coronation. She claps with everyone else, A bright smile overcoming her face.

"Okay, things are looking up," Mal reassures "This could just end now happily,"

"Doubt it,"

"Go get him," Mal pushes Rain forward gently at Evie's words. Ben doesn't look as elated to see her as she is him. He gives her a look of guilt.

"Oh no..." Rain covers her face with her hands and Ben shrinks into his seat. What had he done?

"Rain, I wish I had time to explain," Rain gulps as Ben finishes, before noticing the light up the top of the stairs turns back on.

"Uma..." her name gets stuck in her throat as the girl appears. Ben walks up to Uma and Everyone around is making sounds of shock, talking in hushed tones.

Ben and Uma both walk down the steps together before Ben bows and kisses her hand. Not her hand.

Rain's ring. The beast ring Ben had given her.

Everyone was in a shocked silence until Rain screams "What the hell?!" she throws the pillow she was hugging to her chest at the projector.

"Screw you Ben!" Lonnie adds, throwing her pillow as well

"You suck!" Jane does the same, followed by all the VKs

"I always knew you weren't good enough for her!"

Ben gulps, using his pillow to hide behind his girlfriend's glare.

"I'm sorry," Ben doesn't sound one bit remorseful "It all happened so fast. Something happened to me, whilst I was on the Isle with Uma. A connection." They gaze into each other's eyes.

"What?"

"What?"

"What?!"

"Ben, what are you saying?"

"Love you Audrey," Rain mutters, staring at the screen "I know I sucked,"

"Thanks," Audrey smiles sadly at her

"I'm saying..."

"It was love!" Uma giggles obnoxiously "It's just, I realised how alike me and Ben are y'know?"

"We are..." they smile at each other again at Rain's friends can see as she sobers up her expression.

"Oh yes," Mal cheers

"What?" Ben squeaks, scared

"That ladies and gentlemen," Jay starts

"Is Rain Gothel,"

"Yeah, I really see the similarities now!" Uma's smile drops slightly but Ben's brightens, the sarcasm going over his head "you both publicly humiliated me and broke my heart," They didn't even hear her, they're just staring into each other's eyes. Mal steps forward, in case Rain fainted or made a grab for Uma. Probably in case of the latter.

"Ben..." he doesn't hear her "Ben!" he finally looks to Rain, the look of love and admiration once in his eyes when he looked at her, was now directed at Uma "did you go back to the Isle for her?!"

"He didn't have to," Rain glares at Uma "I drove through the barrier before it closed and I'm an excellent swimmer,"

"You are..."

"I'm gonna throw up," Rain mumbles

"Ironic really,"

"Listen," Uma takes Rain's hand and she jolts away, Mal grabs her hips to steady her "I just really want to thank you, for everything," she hugs Rain suddenly. Rain can't move again. Her eyes watering and body stiffening. Uma finally releases Rain from her arms and tears drop from the princess's eyes.

"Oh Rain..." Jane sighs

"Can't you see Rain?" Ben speaks up

"The only thing I can see right now is your head on a spike," several students gasp. She may have just threatened the king of Auradon.

"You knew that we weren't meant to be together. That's why you never told me you loved me,"

"No," Rain shakes her head "That's not true," She no longer sounded strong, she sounded absolutely heartbroken and the tears rolling down her cheeks weren't helping her case.

"That's it!" Lonnie stands and storms over, Ben thinks she's going to slap him, but she just grabs Rain's hands, pulling her over to the 'AK' sofa. The VKs follow, marching deliberately.

Ben and Uma just smile awkwardly before moving out onto the dance floor. Music starts playing and they move into a delicate dance.

"Come on," Mal pulls Rain back to the group. Evie and Carlos stand beside her, each holding one of her hands to keep her upright.

"Not too thrilled I risked my life for him,"

"We're with you Rain," she looks back at Lonnie, smiling weakly in thanks.

"Yeah!" Lonnie agrees with herself

"How did she even learn the dance?" Rain's attempt at a joke just sounded pathetic and Carlos squeezes her hand.

"Let's get out of here," she nods as Jay and Mal move her forward.

"Rain!" she looks up at Belle and Beast.

"Honey, we're so sorry, we had no idea,"

"I didn't really handle it well," she tries to apologise for her comments towards Ben.

"It's completely understandable," Belle rubs her arm.

"I'll talk to him," Rain shakes her head, continuing her escape. Jane shouts something but Rain can't process it.

"And now, for the unveiling of Kind Ben's masterpiece designed specifically for his lady Rain!" Lumiere announces as a curtain falls behind Rain.

"Oh god is it that stained Glass?"
