"Carlos! This is no time for games!" Mal said. She started to walk back when she saw a limp body on the ground. She rushed towards it "Carlos!" She said. She kneeled down next to him "Carlos, wake up! Carlos!" She said. The white-haired boy started to open his eyes "Carlos, what happened?" Mal asked him. Carlos rubbed his head "I-I don't...I don't remember." He tells her. Mal helped him up "Can you remember anything?" She asked. Carlos blinked a couple of times "We were looking for Jane, and we had a little argument, and the rest I don't remember." He said. Mal looked around "I don't see anyone here. Maybe you have to eat or drink something?" She said. Carlos shook his head "No, we have to keep going, Jane's life could be in danger." He said. The purple-haired girl holds his hand "Alright, but stay close. I don't want anything to happen to you." She said. Carlos nodded.
Audrey watched from afar and smirked, "Just wait, Mal." She whispered.

Meanwhile, Evie stood on the balcony that was connected to her room. She looked up at the sky and adored the moon and the stars. "What's up?" Jay asked her. Evie turned around and walked inside "Just thinking about how beautiful the view. I don't remember seeing this back when we were still trapped here." She said. Jay smiled at her "It's very pretty isn't it?" He said. She nodded and hugged him "Do you think Mal and Carlos are on their way back?" She asked him. Jay shrugged "I don't know. Maybe they're hanging out at Auradon prep or something? I'm sure they'll  be back in the morning." He tells her. She smiled and walked back to the balcony "It's so beautiful." She said.
Jay walked up behind her "This might be bad timing but...happy anniversary." He said and handed her a box. Evie smiled "I thought you forgot." She said. Jay shook his head "I didn't. Open up." He told her. She glanced at him "You didn't steal this right?" She asked him. He shook his head "Nope." He tells her
 She opens the box and gasped slightly "But that's-" "Your necklace from when we left to go to Auradon? Yep!" He said. Evie looked at him confused "I thought I'd lost it forever. Where did you get this?" Evie asked him. The young thief shrugged "I visited my dad's store a couple of days ago and apparently someone brought it in a few weeks ago." He said. He helped her to put the necklace around her neck "I also have something else for you." He said. Evie blushed "Jay, you didn't have to do that!" She said.
Jay got down on his knee "Evie, I've wanted to ask you this for a while now." He said. She gasped "Are you-" "I am." He smiled, "Will you marry me?" He asked her. Evie cried and nodded "Yes!" She said. Jay reaches into his pocket and pulls the ring out. He puts it on her finger "It fits perfectly." He said. Evie smiled and kissed him.

Meanwhile, Mal and Carlos were still looking for Jane. Mal sighs "Maybe we should go home. My feet are hurting." Mal said. Carlos smiled and turned his back towards Mal. She laughed "Carlos-" she started. He shook his head "No arguing." He said. Mal jumped on his back and puts her head in the crook of his neck "Thanks, Puppy, but now you'll get tired." She said. Carlos smiled "I don't mind." He said. They continued to walk when they saw a limp body on the ground. Carlos set Mal back down and rushed towards the body "It's Jane!" He said.
Mal ran towards them and woke Jane up with her magic. Jane's eyes slowly flutter open "M-Mal? Carlos?" She said. Jane sat up straight "What are you two doing here?" she asked them. "Looking for you." Mal answered, "Don't worry, you're safe now." She said. Carlos stood up "Can you stand?" He asked her. Jane tried but she fell back down on her bottom.
Mal looked at Carlos "You have to carry her." She tells him. Carlos nodded and picked Jane up from the ground. Mal glanced around "We have to get out of here." She said. Carlos nodded "Yeah. This place gives me the chills." He said. Jane was safe. Carlos was very relieved. As they walked Jane holds onto Carlos tightly "He's still there." She tells him. Carlos looked at her "What?" He asked. Jane looked at him "Ben. He's still here." "You don't know that." He said. Jane shook her head "He's standing behind you." she whispered...
