Felicity finished writing out a group invitation and looked around before giving it to her pigeon friend from Belle and Adam's castle named Witherspoon who soon took the invitation and went to send it to her cousins, the Fudo siblings, to a special event in Auradon Prep and not just a visit. "I hope they get the invites." She said.
"Hey, psst! Flick!" A voice whispered loudly as a Mudkrow came out.
"Huh?" Felicity blinked and turned that way.
"Is the coast clear?" A blonde girl asked, but she wasn't a natural blonde.
"Mal, is that you?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, it's me." Mal whispered.
"What happened to your hair?" Felicity asked.
"Heh... It's kind of a funny story..." Mal smiled sheepishly. "Uh, never mind that though, are there any people around?"
"Not that I've seen..." Felicity shrugged. "I think you're safe."
"Whew!" Mal sighed as she soon came out. "Thank goodness."
Murkrow soon came out to join her.
"I think Evie is looking for you though, but last I saw, she was in the dorm with Meowsic of course," Felicity said. "I was just sending out invitations to my cousins for The Cotillion."
"That's nice." Mal said.
Felicity looked at her hair.
"It is a bit much isn't it?" Mal asked.
"Sorry, but it's a little distracting..." Felicity said sheepishly.
Murkrow nodded in agreement before he saw some TV people. He then quickly warned Mal about them.
"Oh, thank you, Murkrow!" Mal told her Pokemon before rushing over to the dorm before she would be ambushed by the reporters.
The reporters soon ran past Felicity. Mismagius soon came out to comfort Felicity as they went into the dorms.
Evie was waiting in the room with a dress made and Meowsic was accompanying her. Meowsic seemed to love the dress.
"Thanks, Meowsic." Evie smiled to her Pokemon.
The door soon opened and closed.
"Mal! ...Oh, it's just you." Evie beamed before pouting.
"Glad to see you too, Evie." Felicity teased.
"Sorry, but I just need Mal here to try out the new dress I made her." Evie said.
"I'm sure she'll be along soon." Felicity replied.
"Oh, are your cousins coming to the Cotillion?" Evie then asked.
"I don't know yet," Felicity shrugged. "I just sent out the invitation. I also told them that they could bring dates."
"I'm sure they'll bring dates." Evie smiled.
Mal eventually came inside of the dorm and panted slightly.
"Mal, finally!" Evie smiled to her best friend.
They soon heard someone pecking on the door. Mal groaned slightly to that as she thought maybe it would be another reporter as she came to Evie.
"If this is a reporter 'no comment'." Felicity said as she opened the door, about to shut it again so that Mal could have some privacy.
"Don't shut me out!" Murkrow told her.
"Oh! I'm sorry..." Felicity said, opening the door all the way.
"I was trying to catch up." Murkrow said as he flew inside.
"Oops... Sorry." Mal said.
"Hey, Maleficent." Murkrow mocked the lizard in the cage.
"Now Murkrow, don't mock Mom." Mal scolded.
"Heh... Sorry, Mal." Murkrow smiled sheepishly to his trainer as she soon went to Evie to try on her new dress.
The TV was soon on about Mal and Ben coming together as of the last adventure in Auradon Prep.
"Looks like Mal and Ben are the talk of all of Auradon." Felicity commented.
"They sure are..." Evie replied. "You saw what happened when your cousins were here."
"Mm-hmm." Felicity nodded to her.
"Oh! Okay, Evie, I cannot breathe." Mal soon struggled.
"Well, you can breathe after Cotillion." Evie told her.
Meowsic found that a bit extreme.
"Well, I sincerely doubt that," Mal sighed to her best friend. "I have at least 20 more events directly behind it, and I can't even remember what a single one of them is."
"She has been a bit busy, Evie..." Felicity added.
Murkrow nodded before flying over to Mal's spell book.
"Do you ever think about what we'd be doing if we were back on the Isle right now?" Mal asked Evie as she sat down on the bed.
Evie soon looked at the TV and she began to write down notes as Meowsic handed her a clipboard. Murkrow soon flew against Mal, showing the spell book.
"Oh, that's funny." Evie told her best friend, distracted from writing down notes.
Felicity soon watched with Evie while Mismagius looked concerned of the spell book.
"Read it fast at lightning speed. Remember everything I need." Mal quietly read aloud before closing the book and using her magic with another book, and where it had everything that she needed to remember.
"I know Mal's secret to fitting in, and Ben wouldn't like it one bit," Evie soon spoke to Mal. "Haven't you guys had enough secrets between the two of you already?"
"Evie, you remember what I was like before I started using my spell book," Mal said to her. "I mean, I was a complete disaster."
"She's not wrong." Felicity shrugged.
"Well, personally, as Mal's best friend, I strongly believe that this spell book..." Evie said as she took Mal's spell book which made her and Murkrow jump. "It belongs in the museum, along with my mirror. Don't give me the face. Put the pout away. Mm-hmm. You know I'm right."
Mal simply pouted in defeat. "You don't ever miss running wild and just breaking all the rules?" she then asked.
"I have never done that..." Felicity said. "Then again, I wasn't born on the Isle like you were."
Murkrow nodded.
"I don't miss that stuff honestly." Evie admitted as she soon began to brush Meowsic's fur.
"What?!" Mal frowned.
"Why would we? M, come here," Evie replied before having her look over to the TV to show their school on screen. "Look at where we are. We're in Auradon! And we're Auradon girls now," she then picked up one of her new shoes. "See, this is the land of opportunity. We can be whatever we want to be here. So, please, let's just leave the past in the past, okay? Besides, I mean, look at the shoes. Look at them."
Meowsic nodded as the shoes looked fashionable.
"I'm sure my old friend Barbie would like them." Felicity agreed as she walked along with Mismagius.
Meanwhile in another part of the world...
It was kind of a boring day at the Fudo household until suddenly, a pigeon with a note flew towards them.
"Look, a pigeon with a note." Estelle smiled.
There seemed to be a boy watching them from behind some bushes.
"Hey, it's not just any pigeon, it's Witherspoon from Belle and Adam's place!" Vincent said.
"Which means we have a note from-" Akito was about to add until they all announced in unison. "Felicity!"
"Wahoo!" Chip's voice cheered.
Everyone looked around.
"Chip Potts, is that you?" Estelle smirked as she opened up the bushes.
"Hi." Chip smiled bashfully.
"What're you doing here?" Estelle asked.
"Heh..." Chip smiled innocently and shuffled his foot. "I was just in the neighborhood. I see Witherspoon found you well."
"Did you wanna find out how Felicity was?" Akito asked.
"Yeah..." Chip admitted. "So, uh, what's the letter say?"
"Hmm..." Akito said before taking a look. "Oh, Auradon is holding a Cotillion and she wants us to come over with our very own dates!"
"What's a cotillion?" Vincent asked before hearing Estelle gasp dramatically.
"Oh, boy." Akito muttered.
"What's a cotillion?!" Estelle repeated. "WHAT'S A COTILLION?!"
"Yes?" Vincent blinked.
"It's a special dance for gentlemen and ladies!" Estelle told him. "It's so elegant and glamorous!"
"Oh... Didn't know." Vincent said.
"Philistine." Estelle pouted.
"Well, that sounds nice..." Chip smiled. "Are you guys gonna go?"
"Hmm... I'm sure I can talk Lee into coming... If he wants to... I'd love for him to come~" Estelle blushed.
"Then go ask him." Vincent said.
Estelle soon skipped over to the Clark household with a spring in his step.
"He breaks your heart, I'm breaking his legs!" Akito called out.
"You know that Lee would never break Estelle's heart." Vincent told him.
"I know, I just like saying it." Akito smirked.
Vincent rolled his eyes to that.
"Hi, Mrs. Clark, can I ask Lee something?" Estelle asked once she came to the house.
"Oh, of course, Estelle." Karen smiled.
"Thanks~" Estelle smiled back and soon came inside.
Lee eventually came over and saw his girlfriend. "Ah! Estelle." he then greeted.
"Hey, Lee." Estelle smiled.
"What brings you here?" Lee asked.
"Um, I was wondering..." Estelle smiled. "Would you like to be my date for a special event called The Cotillion at my cousin's school?"
"I'd love to come." Lee smiled back.
"Oh, I knew you'd come!" Estelle beamed.
"Is it casual or dressy?" Lee asked.
"Uh, you might wanna look your best." Estelle advised.
"So dressy." Lee said.
"Uh, yeah..." Estelle smiled back. "I plan on wearing the cutest little pink dress that's like rose petals."
"That sounds beautiful." Lee said.
"Thanks... Maybe I'll put a carnation or a rose in my hair." Estelle smiled.
Lee smiled back as they were set to go.
Akito and Vincent soon argued with Mo's work computer about who was going to use it first.
"You realize you have your own laptops now, right?" Mo asked.
"Yes, but I need a big screen to show how much I really care!" Vincent defended.
Mo looked unimpressed with her sons' arguing over her computer before giving them her own version of The Stare. "Use your own laptops, I gotta pay the bills!"
"Y-Yes, ma'am." The Fudo boys gulped.
Mo then sat down on the computer while Vincent and Akito went to their rooms to video chat with Jenny and Emi. "That's better." She smiled.
Akito and Vincent smiled as they brought out roses to talk to Emi and Jenny with about going to the cotillion in Auradon Prep with them even though they didn't have to do much to impress the girls they loved.
"I promise, I'll be right back, okay?" Emi said as she turned away for a minute as she answered the video call before facing the screen. "Oh! Hi, Akito!"
"Hey Emi, I wasn't interrupting anything, was I?" Akito asked.
"Playing with the smaller Pokemon," Emi smiled before turning the camera to show small Pokemon like a Pichu. "We're having a little game time. Am I the Pokemon Princess or am I running a Pokemon Day Care?" she then chuckled. "Anyway, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you'd be my date for a special dance in a special school." Akito smiled.
"I'd love to come," Emi smiled back. "What's the dance called?"
"It's a cotillion in Auradon Prep, so you might wanna wear your best dress." Akito replied.
"That'll be easy; I have lots of dresses." Emi giggled.
"I'm sure whatever you wear will be perfect." Akito smiled bashfully.
"Aww~" Emi smiled back.
Vincent soon did the same thing with Jenny, looking eager and excited. She, of course, had the same answer. Vincent looked bashful to Jenny.
"Vincent, you don't have to impress me, I already like you." Jenny reminded him with a smile.
"Aw, thanks." Jenny smiled back.
"I'll be there." Jenny beamed. "It sounds wonderful."
Akito, Estelle, and Vincent all smiled that they succeeded and soon wrote a response to Felicity as she was walking to class as Carlos and Jay were coming along with Dude and Chatot.
"Hey, guys." Felicity smiled.
"Hey, Flick." Jay waved.
"Hey, Felicity." Carlos added.
"How you guys doing?" Felicity asked.
"Ah... Can't complain..." Carlos shrugged.
"Just having fun being me, you know." Jay smirked as the girls of school seemed to ogle over him.
"Of course." Felicity rolled her eyes playfully at Jay.
"Why do you torture them?" Carlos asked Jay. "Just pick one to go to the cotillion already!"
"I'm going solo, that way, I can dance with all of them~" Jay smirked.
"That's creative." Felicity said.
A girl giggled as Jay walked by and soon, Mal and Evie caught up with Murkrow and Meowsic.
"You're the expert," Carlos rolled his eyes before looking serious. "Um, Jay... It you were gonna ask someone, what's the best way to go?"
"Listen, all you got to do... Is look like me." Jay advised.
"Oh, Carlos, is there someone you like?" Felicity smiled which made Carlos nervous.
"Um, maybe." Carlos gulped.
"That's so cute!" Felicity smiled. "Who is it?"
"I... Uh... Um..." Carlos stammered.
"Mal." Jane's voice said as she appeared with Swirlix.
"Do you have a minute?" Charity's voice added as she appeared with Absol.
"Uh, hey, Jane." Carlos spoke up to the fairy girl.
"Hey." Jane smiled to him.
Swirlix smiled as she had a good feeling about Carlos.
"I was wondering... Uh... If you liked the... Carrot cake last night." Carlos stammered out.
"I had the pumpkin pie." Jane told him.
"Oh, cool. Um, uh-" Carlos frowned as he blew it.
Absol seemed to face-paw at that while Swirlix shook her head inside of Jane's pocket. Charity seemed to quietly groan.
"Smooth." Jay muttered to Carlos.
"I have an opening for a fitting at 3:00," Evie informed. "Who wants it?"
"Me!" Lonnie beamed as she walked over, wearing a special whistle around her neck and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."
A special Pokemon appeared next to her with a sigh.
"What's that whistle for?" Felicity asked the Chinese girl.
"In case I need a boost from Drampa here." Lonnie smiled as she pet her own Pokemon.
"Cool, where'd you get Drampa?" Felicity asked.
"Heheh, you'd have to ask my uncles that, but they gave me Drampa over the summer break." Lonnie giggled.
"Well, congratulations, Lonnie," Felicity smiled. "He can be your own Mushu... Only, bigger."
"I'll take you later." Evie told Lonnie about the 3:00 appointment.
Meowsic nodded in agreement.
"Uh, Mal?" Charity spoke up.
"Yes?" Mal replied.
"We hate to keep bugging you, but the decorating committee needs more answers." Jane informed.
"Yeah, so, um, do you mind?" Charity asked.
"Bug me?" Mal replied.
"Right." Jane nodded.
"Yeah, girls, I would love to," Mal said to them. "I just have to get to class."
"This will only take a minute." Charity told her.
"You know, just nod if you like it." Jane suggested.
"Okay." Mal replied.
"Chair swags. Entry banner. Twinkle lights. Napkin design. Table bunting," Jane began to list. "And you still haven't picked the party favors yet."
"Honestly, girls, whatever you think-" Mal was about to say.
"Just a few more." Charity interrupted.
Mal and Murkrow gave a small sigh to that.
"I mean, we can do chains, key charms, pen toppers," Jane continued. "I kind of love the pen toppers, but, I mean, we can do all three."
"I say pen toppers." Mal said as her eyes flashed green.
"Oh, totally." Charity smiled.
"You won't regret it." Jane promised Mal.
"Okay." Mal replied.
"I can hardly wait to see what your wedding will look like!" Lonnie squealed.
"Same here!" Charity added.
"Me too," Mal agreed until she realized what they were talking about. "Wait, what?!"
"Wedding?" Murkrow muttered slightly.
"The Royal Cotillion is like getting engaged to be engaged to be engaged." Jane clarified.
"I knew it!" Meowsic smiled.
Evie nodded along with her Pokemon.
"Well, everyone knows it." Lonnie replied.
"I doubt Mal knew." Felicity said.
"Yeah, I didn't know it!" Mal added. "How come nobody told me that? Is my entire life just planned out in front of me-"
Murkrow soon saw Ben coming.
"Hi, Mal." Ben smiled to his girlfriend.
"Hi, Ben~" The girls greeted.
"Oh, Ben, quick moment." Charity smiled innocently to the boy as Jane pulled him over.
Absol found that a bit rushed.
"All right, they're almost finished with the surprise for Mal's big night," Jane said to Ben. "Snow White, Belle. But the one you designed for Mal is my favorite."
"Make sure her eyes are green," Ben advised before looking to Mal apologetically. "Uh... See you later."
"Okay." Mal said softly.
Charity soon showed Ben different shades of green.
Ben looked through them and then picked the final one. "Uh... This one." he then decided.
Charity and Jane then smiled to him.
