Ahead of Valentine’s Day, Disney is offeringDescendantsfans a sweet little treat!
As fans will recall fromDescendants: The Rise of Red, Bridget (Turner) was seen listening to the song as she prepared for her big dance number Castlecoming, which in the original timeline featured a catastrophic event that made her become the evil Queen of Hearts.
However, in theDescendantsfilm, Red (Kylie Cantrall) and Chloe (Malia Baker) are able to right some wrongs and change their present-day as they are magically are transported back in time to Merlin Academy and come face to face withyounger versions of their parents, the Queen of Hearts (Rita Ora) andCinderella (Brandy).

The new short further expands on Bridget’s big dance number as she enlists help from Red and Chloe to help her prepare.
“In the euphoria of perfecting her dance for all to see, Bridget’s imagination runs wild, and her dance explodes beyond her wildest dreams… or so she thinks,” reads the official synopsis from Disney.
As Bridget daydreams about her perfect dance number coming to fruition, a new twist is revealed as she awakens in her room and picks up her looking glass, which shows one’s future.
Not only does the new short completely change the way fans will watchDescendants: The Rise of Red, but it also shakes things up for the future of the franchise, which notablyended on a big cliffhanger.

Though Disney+ hasn’t confirmed a sequel yet, many of the stars previously told PEOPLE they would be open to returning as the movie premiered last summer.
Meanwhile, Cantrall teased that there could be more than meets the eye with that twist ending, noting there is certainly a “butterfly effect” whenever you time travel.
Dara Reneé (Uliana) also teased that whenever you go to the past, “you’re going to mess up the future,” adding that “no matter what your good intentions are, something is going to be out of place."
“Maybe Red did more damage than good,” she added.
