My Once Upon A Time

"Closing the barrier was your idea?" Evie asks her.

"I did it for us. I did it for our life that we have here now," Mal answers her.

"For our life? What about the kids that we left behind on that island? The kids that we promised? We were their only hope. I thought you were gonna stand up for the V.K.'s. But instead, you lied to them," Evie questions her before pointing at everyone. "And you lied to Ally. And you lied to Jay. And you lied to Carlos. And you lied to me. We're your family."

"Evie. Evie, come on. I had no choice!" Mal tries as her friends turn away from her. Ben turns to try to talk to Evie but there is a lightening strike and when Mal looks up everyone is turned to stone. "No."

"Here you are alone

And you deserve it

Your friends have turned

To stone and that's on you

You had a cause to serve

But did you serve it?

Did you see yourself in a way

That wasn't true?" Mal sings as she walks over to Ben and touches his hand.

"Why tell all those lies?

You feel unworthy

Like there isn't solid ground

For you to stand," Mal sings as she walks over to Jay and Ally before touching her sister's shoulder. Mal doesn't notice but Ally's statue starts to glow blue.

"But a sacrifice is not

A firm foundation

You cannot build a castle

On a mountain made of sand," Mal sings as she kneels down beside Carlos and Dude.

"This is not your father's

Fairy tale

And no it's not

Your mother's fault you fail

So when your story comes

To light," Mal sings as she walks over to Evie, touching her cheek.

"Make sure the story

That they write

Goes once upon a time

She fought the dragon

Once upon a time

That beast was me

Once upon a misspent youth

She faced herself

She spoke the truth

That's how I see

My once upon a time

This time," Mal sings as she walks through the forest. Ally's statue glows bright blue before Ally let's out a gasp since she is back.

"Uma! Uma, stop! Please, stop! I need your help. We have a chance if we do this together," Mal says as she catches up to Uma and Harry, stopping in front of them.

"Your friends kick you to the curb?" Uma asks her. "Good."

"Ben and Ally saw something in you. And today, Uma, I saw it, too. You care. Uma, you care about everybody. And Auradon is worth saving. Help us, please," Mal says trying to reason with her.

"You talk pretty, but she's already made up her mind," Harry says for Uma.

"You brought this on yourself, Mal. You figure out how to fix it. Let's go," Uma says before she and Harry walk away again.

"Life is not a storybook

But life unfolds in chapters

Turn the page

And start to make amends" Mal sings as she remembers standing with Ally as they took on Maleficent. Ally looks at Jay sadly before running through the forest to find Uma because she knew that she would be able to help Mal.

"There's no pre-written

Guarantee

Of happily ever after

Step into your greatness

Before your story ends" Mal sings as she remembers walking in to the Chip Shoppe to see Uma, where she found Ally. To battling Uma for Ben as Carlos throws smoke bombs.

"So when your story ends

They'll say

Once upon a time

A girl flew higher

Once upon a time

She made things right" Mal sings as she remembers turning into a dragon to take on Uma, while Ally held Harry back.

"Once upon a tie that binds

She changed her heart

To change their minds

That's got to be

My once upon a time," Mal sings as she remembers Ben proposing and Audrey's reaction.

"This once upon a time

Will finally see," Mal sings as she remembers facing Hades. Then getting the ember from Hades. To seeing her family turned to stone.

"My once upon a time

This time"
