How did the fairies get Aurora to leave the cottage if she was still very upset about what happened earlier?


Since we all saw that she got really upset after Flora told her that she must never see that "stranger" again, I still wonder how they were able to get Aurora to leave the cottage without her showing any sway about her true identity. I know that it was not shown on screen, but I predict that it definitely was not easy. What do you all think?

She's an obedient and dutiful kid, does everything her parents and/or guardians tell her to do. She obeys even if she doesn't like the task, she obeys even if it breaks her heart.

And that's why some people regard her as an uninteresting person, even by the standards of Disney Princesses! Even I do, and I appreciate the value of honor and duty in a way that most of the complainers do not, because I also appreciate the value of questioning authority.

As obedient she always has been, it must have been so painful for her to comply to something she does not want, especially since it was her birthday. I still predict that Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather still had to say something to her to make her willingly return to the castle. Despite her and Phillip being the main characters, they actually did not have many lines as they were both silent during the second half of the movie. Although watching "Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams" warmed my heart due to seeing them again, I still wish a sequel or a spin-off TV show that will show some character development for both of them.

Yeah, what was up that both Aurora and Philip suddenly became silent characters?
