Authors Note: Thank you ShelbyMead0 for pointing out a BIG mistake I made on this chapter. Uma did not return to the Isle of the Lost and was on the outside the entire time leaving her pirate crew with Harry as the captain stuck in the barrier. This chapter was edited to reflect her NOT being there.
Epilogue
The pirate crew were sitting around Ursula's Chip Shop. It had been a week since Uma failed to get them free.
Harry and another pirate were sitting at the table playing cards while Gil was staring at the TV with the others lounged around bored. There was nothing to do on the isle of the lost that has not been done a thousand times.
The door opened and in walked four Auradon soldiers and a man who was obviously a representative from King Ben. Two of the soldiers were carrying a crate between them.
"Who are you?" Harry said with a sneer.
The soldiers said nothing but the man raised an eyebrow amused at the boy. His eyes roamed the room until it landed on Maddie.
Maddie was curled up on a bench fast asleep under a purple blanket.
The man took a step forward before Gil pulled out his sword and got between the two.
"I asked you a question, mate?" Harry said with a frown moving to stand by Gil.
Two of the soldiers moved forward to stand between the pirates and the man with their weapons drawn.
The man shook his head. "I have a message for Maddie, daughter of Captain Hook. Please wake your sister, Harry son of Hook. I was told to speak with her not you."
Harry frowned and moved over to Maddie.
"Maddie girl, wake up. Come on girl." Harry said shaking the girl's shoulder.
Maddie opened her eye yawning. "Harry?"
"Come on girl. Someone to see you." Harry said with a smile.
Maddie sat up and froze when she saw them. The girl glanced between Gil and brother before getting up.
Harry took the girl's hand and led her to stand before the man with Harry and Gil on either side.
The man smiled and handed her a rolled scroll. The girl opened it frowning.
Dear Maddie,
I want to apologize about how everything went down. I know the reason the incident happened was because I failed to keep my promise to the children of the isle of the lost. I can assure you that the program will start up starting this next term.
I would like for you, Maddie Daughter of Captain Hook, to be one of five who will be the next group to come over. I will be working on bringing more children over including Uma, Harry, Gil and the others in small batches over the coming years.
Please say you will come. I included a gift to you and your pirate family as a show of good faith.
Sincerely
King Ben of Auradon
Maddie's eyes went wide. She glanced at her brother in shock. "I can't leave you all behind. We are a family."
Harry closed his eyes taking a breath before turning to the man. "She'll be there. Tell King Ben she will be in the five."
The man nodded his head holding out a scroll. "King Ben said if she was coming to give this to you."
Harry took the scroll and read it as the Auradon group left. Opening it, Harry read a private note from Ben.
Harry,
I promise that I will personally protect your sister while she is here in Auradon. I will not let anything happen to her until I can bring you over.
Ben
Harry shook his head. Ben better keep his promise or he would make sure Ben would wish he had never been born.
Maddie turned to her brother with tears in her eyes watching him read. "Harry, no. We're family. I can't leave."
Harry knelt and placed his hands on the girl's shoulders. "Maddie, this is your chance to be free. I would be a horrible brother if I didn't let you go. I promise you we will be together again. Until we are, you make sure to live and experience everything we dreamed about."
The boy leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "I love you, little sister."
Maddie had tears running down her face before hugging her brother. She whispered in his ear. "I love you, big brother."
Harry smirked and stood up. "Let's see what gift King Ben sent ya."
The group walked over and opened the crate. Inside was smaller containers. The box was emptied and everything was placed on a table.
Harry pushed Maddie forward. "Go on Maddie. It's your gifts."
Maddie frowned and grabbed Harry's hand. "It's our gift. We're family."
Harry, Gil and the others laughed. Maddie went forward to one box and lifted the sticky note.
Dear Maddie,
This will only keep this stuff cool for a while so your pirate crew will need to eat quickly. Careful of those Ice cream headaches. They hurt fiercely.
Ben
Maddie and the others eyes lit up. The girl removed the lid to find 10 different boxes of ice cream.
"Drumsticks, Fudge Bars, Snickers, Chocolate cups, Neapolitan cups, Chocolate Sunday cups. There is so much ice cream, Harry." Maddie said jumping up and down in excitement.
Harry laughed. "Check the other stuff and see what's in it."
Maddie's face lit up and she started opening up boxes. Some things she and the others knew about but others they did not.
Maddie ended up with a ton of snack food. A letter appeared in one of the boxes.
Maddie,
A lot of my friends heard about the package I was sending you and wanted to add some favorite snacks for you and the others to try.
Lonnie, Mulan's daughter added Sticky Tofu. Crunchy Rice Rolls, Green Day's Ginger candy and Gem Biscuits.
Matthew from the Southern Isle added Poffertjes, Drop and Vla. Matthew is the cousin of Hannah, Daughter of Han.
Rami, son of Aladdin and Jasmin, Added Honey Spiced Nuts, Crunchy roasted cumin chickpeas, Pita chips with white bean hummus and Cardamom Pistachio shortbread cookies.
I added some of my favorites but also some of the snacks we spoke about. I included the Ice cream but also Cotton candy in three different flavored, Oreo cookies, Cheese Its and Chocolate covered pestles.
I can't wait for you to see what the world has to offer. Hopefully I will see you soon,
Ben.
Maddie's eyes widened in shock. "Wow."
Harry and the others were looking at each other in confusion.
"What did ya'll take about down there?" Harry asked.
Maddie shrugged. "We talked about food. I told him all the food I wanted to try when we escaped. We talked about you and Uma. I told King Ben how great you two are."
Harry laughed and hugged his sister. "It's just like my sister making friends with a king. She would make friends with a fish if it would talk back."
The others burst out laughing. Maddie smiled before turning to Uma.
"Can we start eating the ice cream, Harry? It's going to melt if we don't." Maddie asked Harry.
Harry smiled. "You heard her. Maddie chooses first and then we will divide the rest. So, what will it be Maddie?"
Maddie stared at the ice cream before picking up a round 16 oz container. "I want this. Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy. Chocolate Ice cream with chocolate cookies and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream. That sounds amazing."
Harry grabbed a drum stick and Gil grabbed a Snickers ice cream bar. Harry motioned to the rest of the crew and soon all of them had ice cream and were eating it up.
Harry and Gil laughed at Maddie as she had chocolate all around her mouth. A few hours later, the two regretted letting her eat the whole tub.
"Should we warn Ben about this?" Gil said as he watched Maddie holding on to the chandelier lights swinging back and forth laughing diabolically before jumping onto Gabriel's shoulders making the boy fall forward.
Harry shook his head. "No. Let Ben find out the hard way."
The both shared a look when Maddie started jumping from table to table. It was going to be a long night.
