Guys still feel free to review. There's not much to say for this chapter, other than we're getting closer to Uma and her pirate crew's appearance and Mal's departure to the Isle of the Lost.
Let's Go!
"Hi Guys!" Jane popped in front of Mal and Evie with a tablet in her hand. The dark haired daughter of Fairy Godmother smiled widely and handed the tablet to Mal. "What do you think? I couldn't decide between Belle and Beast or Sleeping Beauty and Philip, so I made you and Ben! Well actually, Aaron helped me." Jane babbled. She wasn't usually this perky, she was probably just excited. On the tablet, Mal was dressed in a long flowing purple ball gown as a lady of the court and King Ben was behind her in a three piece royal blue and gold suit.
"Jane," Mal said. "It...it's beautiful. Perfect." Mal held her left hand over her heart.
"Anyway, Mal, don't forget I have to fit you for your Cotillion Dress. I've already got mine. And everyone knows you're going with Ben." Evie kept talking while Mal started feeling weird inside. Like there was something she needed to release that's been tormenting her for a while. It was just waving through her body.
"-al?! Mal?!," The purple haired daughter of Maleficent didn't even notice that Lonnie the daughter of Li Shang and Fa Mulan had arrived. Lonnie was wildly snapping her fingers in front of Mal while Evie was waving her hands in front of her.
"Oh, sorry. I guess you could say I'm just spacing out today-", Mal was cut off by someone yelling as Aaron came running in behind Jane. He had on a dark green leather vest and an aqua colored shirt. He wore his signature clam seashell necklace passed down to him from his sister Melody. His left and right ear were pierced with pearls. "Jane what did I tell you about just magicking yourself out of the place.!" Aaron started his ranting on again as his cheeks flushed deep red.
"Come on my little merman, leave Jane alone, I'm sure she's only trying to get a better hold of her magic." Carlos who was now as tall as Jay, butt in. Mal thought to herself, when did everyone choose today of all days to be around Mal. "Anyway, I was wondering, i-if you w-wo-would like to go t-to The Royal Cotillion with me?" The son of the former fashion heiress' freckles were lightly dusted with a light shade of pink for a moment. He'd been wanting to ask the black haired son of Queen Ariel and King Eric out for about a good week now, since everyone expected it.
"YES!YES!YES!YES! YES!YES!YES! I will!", and with that Aaron started planting kisses all over the De Vil's face, making him feel awkward. His lips were similar to a certain someone that he knew he'd never ever see again.
As Jay pulled Carlos away saying, "Come on lover boy," Aaron waved dreamily being pulled away by Jane with Lonnie following close behind.
"Bye Mal," the girls chanted together. "Bye Evie
"Finally, I can whisk you away so that you look fit for your prince- excuse me, king and dance the night away at the Cotillion. Would you do me the honors?"
"Oh. Oh yeah. Of course." Mal knew she had to hide her less cheerful nature of deep thinking because she knew that Evie would catch onto her any second. "Beware forswear, back to Evie and I's lair." Mal did her signature hand gesture and together the girls were engulfed in green flames until they fully disappeared and reappeared into their dorm room.
"Lair?" Evie gave Mal a questioning look raising one of her arched eyebrows. "Anyway let's get down to business. So we've already established that you'll be wearing the kingdom's official colors, royal blue and gold. I'll need you to stand up here," Evie said pointing to an empty but sturdy hat box. The blue haired daughter of the Evil Queen gave Mal her dress and ordered her to go in the bathroom and change.
When Mal came out, she met Evie admiring in the mirror how her blue braid matched her dress and accentuated her eyes. The purple haired daughter of Maleficent coughed loudly and Evie turned, then gasping, for Mal looked beautiful in the dress. "Oh my apples! Mal it looks perfect on you." Evie 's eyes lit up as she led Mal to the box. "Okay so maybe we'll have to stitch a little over here and maybe tighten up over there, but overall, royally perfect." Mal smiled the whole time Evie spoke, but cringed as soon as she said the words 'royally perfect'. Then out of her mouth she asked a question.
"Evie," Mal called to her best friend. "Do you ever miss just being on the Isle of the Lost?" Mal asked her.
Evie pressed her red lips together and gave Mal suspicious eyes. Mal afraid that Evie would find out what she was up to just smiled as if it was an everyday question. The daughter of Evil Queen stepped up to the daughter of Maleficent. "I do sometimes, but it's for the better that we're here." Evie gave Mal a smile then went back to her suspicious face. "Why do you ask? What've you been doing Mal?"
Mal knew she was trapped Evie caught her and she knew the princess wouldn't back off until Mal told her what was going on. Evie stood there waiting arms crossed demanding an explanation. "Fine...I'll give you the details. But you'll have to sit down for this one." The princess sat down and crossed her legs maintaining a regal and beautiful manner." So recently in the past few months we've been in Auradon, I've been struggling to be good, and... oh you know what, let's just cut to the chase, because if I don't say this now, then I can never say it. E, I've been using magic so that I don't mess up Ben's reputation in Auradon."
"Now M why would you do that? Ben loves you for you and if he thinks that anyone sees anything wrong with that he'll makes sure everyone including yourself is accommodated." Evie huffed out, indicating she was not in support of Mal's decision.
"Okay E," Mal said. "I guess I have to tell him the truth since if we're dating each other we have to trust each other. I have a date with him later anyway so I'll just tell him then. I am begging you Evie, as a best friend please do not say anything to anyone." She begged with pleading eyes.
