"Let's give Auradon...a taste of Evil." I suggested. Mal and Evie stirred the pot as the boys looked on. I took out my spell book and turned to the page we needed. "Wicked ways beneath the skin, let all who taste it now join in." I recited. Mal, Jay, Evie, Carlos and myself started to cackle as the boys tipped the apples into the cauldron.

I was brought back into reality by the constant flashing of cameras. "Sophia! Please, over here Sophia!" One reporter called, trying to get my attention.
"Only three days 'till the royal Cotillion!" A reporter said. I waved at all the cameras in my face, smiling. I am not made for this. I thought. I was wearing a sleeveless white and aqua dress. The chest area of my dress was white while the bottom was aqua. I was also white heels. My new blonde hair was done up in an elegant bun. I had a gold necklace on as well as shell earrings.
"Ever think a girl like you would be Lady of the Court?" A reporter questioned.
"How does it feel to be the most envied girl in Auradon?" Another asked.
"Well, do you like being blonde?"
"Is Maleficent still a lizard?" Ben then made his grand appearance. Thank heavens.
"Ok, alright, excuse me." Ben said as he made his way over to me, moving through the paparazzi. Ben wrapped his arm around my waist and I did the same as he addressed the crowd. "Uh, we will let you know if and when that particular situation changes."
"Did you think you would ever be with a Villian Kid?" Ben laughed and leaned into the microphone,
"Were done here." The reporters started going wild again. Fairy Godmother stepped forward as we moved back.
"Ok, shush, shush, shush, shush." She said, quieting down the noise, "This is still a school so if your here, your either skipping class or trespassing." All the reporters started to talk all at once, "Shhh. Shhh." With those words, each reporter went quiet and looked down in shame. Fairy Godmother then gestured for them to leave, and they did.
"Thank you guys." Ben said.
"Thank you." I echoed.
"Thank you, thank you." Fairy Godmother trailed off. "Sophia, Ben." Fairy Godmother walked off,
"Fairy Godmother." Ben and I said in unison as we watched her go. Ben turned to look at me. I looked up into his eyes.
"Whew." I sighed. Ben gave a small laugh.
"Don't pay anny attention to them." Ben told me.
"That is much easier said then done."
"I know, I know. You know, maybe we should do something. We should go somewhere. Get away."
"Yeh, spend some time together, just the two of us."
"You know, what do…" Ben checked his watch, "I have a council meeting. I'm so late!"
"It's fine!"
"We'll...we'll do it sometime…" Ben lent in to kiss my cheek but a hand pulled my back. I looked over my shoulder to see Evie.
"If we do not do a fitting for your gown right this minute, you'll be dancing in your bathrobe." Evie told me. "Hi." Evie said to Ben before she turned to me, "Let's go, let's go." Evie dragged me away from Ben towards our dorm.
"Bye Ben!" I said before he was out of sight.
"Bye." He replied.
TIMESKIP
Evie soon had me standing on a podium as she made adjustments to my dress. It was a sleeveless yellow dress that had blue designs on the chest. There were ruffles on it that went to the floor. Evie opted to keep my hair in the bun I already had. She pulled my shoulders back and tightened something. I gasped. "E, I can't breathe!" I complained. Evie lifted my arm,
"Well you can breathe after Cotillion." Evie said.
"I don't think I would be able to do that. I have, like, twenty more events behind that and I don't remember the name of any of them."
"Impeccable." I turned to look at my black leather jacket, my shell staring back at me.
"Evie?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you ever think...that if we were back on the Isle, what we would be doing?" Evie gave a sarcastic laugh,
"That's funny." Music began to play from the TV in the room. "Ah! Look who's on TV!" Evie squealed. I turned to it to see me sitting at a table with Ben, Aladdin and Jasmine. Evie helped me off the podium and I sat on the end of my bed.
"As the royal couple continues their tour of the kingdom, they dined with Aladdin and Jasmine." I saw myself spit something into a napkin, yeah, the food in Agrabah is not for my taste. "Six months ago, no one thought King Ben and his girlfriend from the wrong side of the bridge would last."
"Yeah...no kidding." I muttered.
"Sophia must be counting the days until the Royal Cotillion..." I looked down at Ben's ring before I remembered something. I gasped as I went to sit closer to my bedside table. "Where she will officially become a Lady of the Court." I heard the door open and Mal walked in. She was wearing what she wore the day before family day when we had that video chat with our parents. She straightened her hair and has some wicked bangs. I paid no attention to my purple haired bestie as I leant over to grab my spellbook and a book on how to be a lady. I flipped my spell book open and found the spell I needed.
"Read it fast at lightning speed, remember everything I need."I recited. I closed my book and cast the spell on my book. I turned every page and skimmed through the words, the spell remembering everything for me.
"I know Sophia's secret to fitting in." Mal said in a sing-song voice. I glanced at my friend before going back to what I was doing. "Ben would not like that. Come on Soph, haven't you had enough secrets between you both?" I looked up at my two friends who were both looking at me,
"Mal, I was a total disaster without my spell book, remember?"
"Well, personally as one of your best friends, I strongly believe that this spell book…" Evie started as she grabbed my book,
"Hey!"
"It belongs in the museum along with my spell book and Evie's mirror." Mal continued, taking the book from Evie. I dropped my arms so my hands as well as the book, both rested in my lap. I gave them the puppy dog eyes and stuck out my bottom lip. "Don't give us that face." I just intensified the puppy dog eyes.
"Put the pout away." Evie ordered. I looked away from my friends. "Mm-hm. You know were right."
"Do...either of you miss running wild on the Isle and breaking all the rules?" I asked.
"Like stealing and lying and fighting?"
"Yeah!"
"No!" Mal exclaimed.
"What?"
"Why on earth would we? Soph, get over here." Mal grabbed my hands and pulled me towards the TV, standing on my left as Evie stood on my right.
"Look at where we are, were in Auradon!" Evie added. "And were Auradon girls now."
"Since Sophia revealed her love of cherries, she has received hundreds of cartons from her admirers." The TV lady said. It showed me and Ben sitting down enjoying cherries. Ben fed me one and I saw myself smile at him.
"Who knew I had admirers." I muttered. Mal and Evie squealed and hugged my shoulders. I saw myself dip a cherry in chocolate and feed it to Ben. Mal and Evie both wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"See, This is the land of opportunity." Evie said.
"Evie's right." Mal agreed, "We can be, whatever we want to be. So...can we just please leave the past in the past?" I glanced at my friends.
"Besides. I mean, look at the shoes. Look at them." Mal and I gave a small laugh.
"Severe."
"They look like a walking death trap." I commented. We all shared a laugh, but our conversation was not forgotten.
