Shout-out to Superfamily123 for the idea! Here are some of the Gods/Goddesses of Olympus for the story! Sooner in the future, I'll bring more of them in!

Bethany's P.O.V.

Today was family day in Auradon. I was happy to celebrate it with my new boyfriend, my friends, and their families. I was going to take this as my chance to introduce Mason to my parents. My friends seemed have accepted him and his friends, so I believed my parents would do the same.

I even decided to add a little addition to this event with a little help from Audrey. It's a surprise for Harley, since we've grown very fond of her. She absolutely deserves this surprise and has earned it from accepting Auradon. I know she's going to love it.

I was currently with my friends as we got ready to perform for our families, their friends, etc.

Ethan:
Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents: your dinner!

All of us:

All of us: (Yeah, come on)

(Come on, come on)
Be our guest!

All the families clapped and we all went to our parents. I found Mom and Dad and they smiled widely at me.

"That was so lovely!" she told me, kissing my cheek.

"Thanks, Mom." I replied.

"Go and have fun with your friends. We'll call you when it's time to take our traditional picture." Dad told me. I smiled and nodded before hugging him and walking off.

I immediately found Mason, Evie, Harley, Jay, and Carlos at the dessert section. I walked over to them.

"Hey, guys!" I greeted. They all smiled at us and hugged me one by one.

"I'm so sorry your parents couldn't be here." I apologized to them. They all shook their heads.

"Don't worry, Bethany. It's not your fault. They chose to be evil and we didn't." Jay explained.

"We're actually loving it here." Carlos replied.

"I agree. I feel free here." Evie added.

"Excuse me for a second. Harley, come here." I said. The daughter of Hades smiled at me before she came over. I linked my arm with hers and walked off together.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Well, I feel like since your dad couldn't come, I had do something about it. I realized that you have more than one family member through him. Therefore, I decide to invite a few people that I figured you'd love to see and are familiar with." I explained.

I covered her eyes and found group of Gods and Goddesses all there. "Surprise, Harley." I told her, removing my hands.

She opened them and I saw tears in her eyes. Poseidon, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Zeus, and Artemis all smiled at her. She ran to them and they all hugged her.

"Good to see you again, Lil' Devil." Athena said. That was Harley's nickname.

"I missed you all so much!" she said.

"We never forgot about you, young one. We've been watching over you." Zeus told her.

"We missed you as well, Darling." Ares told her with a side hug.

"The princess gave us a suggestion for you." Poseidon said.

"What's that, Uncle?" the young girl asked him.

"I'm allowing you to, but if you want, you could live up there. After all, you can teleport, so after school, you can teleport back home and be with your family." I explained.

Harley's eyes lit up with a smile on her face. "Thank you so much, Beth! This means so much!" she told me.

"Hades won't visit unless its by your request. He may have not mistreated you, but he shall never come near you ever again unless he accepts you, Sweetheart." Artemis told her.

"Agreed. The way he's denied you is unacceptable. If you want someplace to stay, you can live with us." Apollo agreed with his sister.

"Maybe we can find you a guy." Aphrodite said making all of us laugh.

"I kind of have one." Harley replied.

"You kind of have one? Well, you should kind of have a million." she said.

"Go and spend time with them, Harls. You deserve it." I told her. Ares and Apollo wrapped their arms around her and they all walked off.

I saw my parents wave to me, which made me go to them. The photographer was there, setting up the camera.

"Oh, by the way, I have a new boyfriend." I told them.

"Well, I never wanted to say anything, but it was that Andrew was a little self-absorbed. A fake smile and kind of a kiss-up." Mom explained.

"Have we met your new boyfriend?" Dad asked.

"Sort of. Hold on." I said as we smiled and the picture was taken. When the photographer left, I saw Mason.

"Mason!" I called out. He walked from the chocolate fountain and over to us. Mom and Dad gasped as I went over to him. I hugged him and looked at my parents, who were both in shock.

"Mom, Dad. This is Mason. From the Isle. My boyfriend." I explained.

"Hi." Mom greeted with a half-smile.

"I was thinking maybe he could join us for lunch." I explained.

"Sure. Uh, any friend of Bethany's-" Mason cut off my father.

"Actually, I uh, came with my friends." he replied.

"Well, you should invite them." Mom told him.

They saw Evie, Jay, and Carlos waving at them. Harley waved also with her family.

"Because the more, the merrier." Mom added.

"I'll go grab them." Mason told them.

"How about a game of croquette before lunch?" he asked us. "Of course." I replied.

Mason wrapped an arm around me and we went to go play croquette. Jay was flirting with some of the girls, Carlos was playing with Dude, Evie was talking with my Mom, and Harley was with the Gods of Olympus, hanging out.

"Hello there." We looked and saw Queen Leah there.

"Hi." Mason replied.

"Now, have we met?" she asked him.

He shook his head with a look of confusion. "No, I don't think so. I'm new. I'm sort of like a transfer student." he explained.

"Ah, yes." Queen Leah replied.

"Grandma." Audrey and Andrew said, coming in.

"Oh, Audrey, Andrew. Give Grammy a kiss, dears." she said. They kissed her cheeks before they looked at us.

Well, Audrey smiled. Andrew had a blank stare.

"Grandma?" Mason asked.

"Sleeping Beauty's mother?" Andrew asked. Mason nodded in understanding.

"Grandma, I don't think you want to be talking to this boy. Unless you feel like taking another hundred year nap." Andrew explained. Audrey widened her eyes as she looked at me in fear. We knew what was going to happen.

"Andrew! What's wrong with you?! You weren't supposed to do that!" she scolded him. "She has a right to know. Take a closer look, Grandma." he explained.

"What?" Queen Leah asked.

It only took her a few seconds to realize.

"You!" she exclaimed.

Everybody turned their attention toward us and I held Mason's hand tighter. "How are you here? And how have you stayed so young?" she asked.

I put my hand up in reassurance. "Queen Leah, it's okay. Maleficent is still on the island. This is her son, Mason." I explained.

"Don't you remember her proclamation to give the new generation a chance?" Audrey asked.

"A chance to what Bethany? Destroy us?" she asked me.

"You remember, don't you? The poisoned apples. And the spells?!" she said, looking at my parents.

"Spells." she looked at Mason. "My daughter was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So, her first words, her first steps, I missed it all!" she exclaimed with teary eyes.

She turned to Andrew, Chad, Fairy Godmother, and Audrey. "You mustn't trust her." she sobbed.

"I'm so sorry." Mason said trying to comfort her.

"No way! Stay away from her." Chad said.

"Don't do this, Chad." I warned him.

"What? They were raised by their parents, Bethany. What do you think villains teach their kids? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh." he ranted.

He looked at Mason. "You stole another boy's girlfriend." he said.

"Hey! Hey!" I warned him as Mason glared daggers at him.

"You enjoy hurting people." he told Jay, who looked down.

"And you." He looked at Evie, who glared at him. "You're nothing but a gold-digger and a cheater." he explained.

"Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk on the land?" she asked, showing the mirror to him.

"What? Come on." he said, slapping her arm harshly. Jay went to beat him up until Apollo came in and held him back just as Evie sprayed some blue mist in Chad's face.

Chad fell into the arms of our friends. They tried waking him up as everybody else gasped.

"Guys!" I looked and saw all the VKs running away. I looked at my parents and they had shocked looks on their faces.

"I feared something like this would happen." Dad said.

"This isn't their fault!" I replied. "No, Sweetie. It's yours." he replied.

I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Okay. I see how it is. I thought you two promised you would accept my decisions! Looks like I was wrong! You choose the side of spoiled, ungrateful little brats who take advantage of everything instead of your own daughter! The new generation of the Isle children aren't like their parents! If they wanted to destroy us all, they would've done it by now! You two can't accept them because you're still living in the past! That was twenty years ago! Let it go! They didn't ask to be born, but here they are! Mason is an amazing boyfriend! Evie, Carlos, Jay, and Harley are amazing friends! You claim to be so perfect when you can't even take time to get to know new people without judging them! What was it you said? Don't judge a book by it's cover? Well, bull crap! I'm done with this! Go and find yourself a replacement for a Queen because I sure as bloody hell ain't going to be a Queen! Forget it! Who wants to rule a boring kingdom anyway?!" I yelled.

Audrey and Lonnie came over and wrapped their arm around me as we walked off. We ended up at a bench somewhere else and I broke down in tears. They spent their time comforting me like the sisters they were to me.
