I got dressed for Family Day in the most goody-goody outfit I could find. An aqua dress that had a see through bet on my shoulders and chest, aqua flats that had some of my toes showing. I kept my white hair out and grabbed an aqua purse. I shoved my spell book into my purse, for emergencies. I was dreading this. A whole day surrounded by goody-two-shoes and their family's is my worst nightmare. We got to the courtyard where Family Day was being held and noticed that Ben was singing.

Everyone -

We tell jokes! I do tricks

With my fellow candlesticks

And it's all in perfect taste

That you can bet

Come on and lift your glass

You've won your own free pass

To be our guest

Ben -

If you're stressed

It's fine dining we suggest

Everyone -

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest!

During the song I had snagged a cherry and eaten it. I was watching Ben take a photo with his parents. I saw Ben was looking at me so I waved. "Sophia!" He called out. I left Mal and Evie and went over to him. The look on the King and Queen's faces told me everything. I quickly walked over to Ben, trying not to run. "Sophia. I want you to introduce you to my parents." Ben came and gave me a hug once the photo was taken. Ben turned back to his parents but kept his hand in mine. "Mum, Dad, this is Sophia, from the island, my girlfriend."

"Hi!" Queen Belle greeted with a smile on her face,

"Hi." I said politely. King Beast just waved.

"I was thinking maybe she could join us for lunch." Ben suggested,

"Of…Course." King Beast said hesitantly, "Any friend of Ben's-"

"I, uh, I actually came with my friends." I pointed to them, "Would it be ok if they joined us Your Majesties?" I asked,

"Well, you should invite them." Queen Belle replied, shocked that I was so polite. "Because the more the merrier!" She elaborated. King Beast looked down at her.

"Ok. I'll go ask them." I started to walk off but Ben stopped me,

"How about a game of croquet before lunch?" King Beast asked,

"Huh, of course!" I had no idea how to play but they were the King and Queen so I had to suck up to them.

"Game on!" Be said, fist bumping his father,

"Game on…" King Beast replied. Ben put an arm around me as we walked away,

"Have you played before?" Ben asked,

"No." I said quickly,

"No? You'll be fine." He assured. I am terrible at croquet. So I stood with my hands on the croquet stick watching Ben play. Then, a man with a white beard approached me,

"Why, hello there." He greeted, he adorned a crown made out of corral.

"Hello." I said politely, looking up at him since he was quite tall.

"Have we met?" He asked me,

"I don't believe so. I'm a transfer student so to speak." I told him. Then a girl with fiery red hair and a pale orange dress came over to him. Harmony, the second daughter of Ariel and Eric.

"Grandfather!" She explained,

"Harmony! Give your Grandfather a hug!" The man exclaimed. Harmony gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Grandfather?" I questioned, Ok. Now I know who this old guy is.

"Ariel's father?" Harmony said in a 'duh' tone. She looked me up and down, "Grandfather I don't think you want to be talking to this girl. Unless you want to be a sea slug again."

"Whatever do you mean?" The old man questioned before he, looked at me. His eyes widened,

"YOU!" That got the attention of everyone. I jumped, "How are you here!" He pointed a finger at me and I took a step back. "How are you still alive?" Ben came up behind me,

"King Triton it's ok. Ursula is still on the island, this is her daughter Sophia." Ben put an arm around me as I gave a tight smile, "Don't you remember, my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"

"A chance to what Ben? Destroy us?" King Triton accused. He turned to the Fairy Godmother behind him. "You remember, do you not? The poison apple and the spells and the contracts." He turned back to me, "The contracts. My Daughter almost lost her chance at true love because of your mother's deal. So… my youngest lost her voice and almost died!" King Triton boomed. I looked at him sadly. What my Mother did was beyond cruel.

"I'm so sorry-" I tried to reach out to King Triton but Chad stepped in the way,

"Go away! Stay away from him." Chad said, holding his hand up,

"Don't do this Chad." Ben said, standing in front of me slightly,

"What?" Chad blinked, "They were raised by their parents Ben. What do you think Villains teach their kids huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way." He pointed at me, "You stole another girl's boyfriend." He accused,

"Hey, Hey!" Ben stood in front of me completely,

"You enjoy hurting people." He pointed at Jay, "And you." He sneered at Evie, "You're nothing but a gold digger, and a cheat." He looked back at Doug behind him. Evie bought out her mirror.

"Mirror, Mirror in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land!" Evie said and put the mirror in Chad's face,

"What? No!" He swatted Evie's hand away a bit two hard, which made her stumble. Jay then took matters into his own hands by grabbing the front of Chad's jacket. Evie got out the spray I gave her the other night and she sprayes it in Chad's face. He promptly fell asleep.

"Come on Soph." Mal said, taking my hand and dragging me away.

"Guys!" Ben called out to us but we didn't hear him. We made it to a park bench underneath a tree. I laid my head on my arms that were folded on the table. I didn't notice Ben come over until he was standing next to the table. "Hey guys!" He greeted, "How is everyone?" He asked. We didn't reply, "Yeah." He walked over to me and rubbed his hand on my back while talking, "Hey listen, forget about it, alright? It was nothing, forget about it, let it go." Ben stood behind me, "Tomorrow, after the Coronation, I promise everything will be ok." Ben leaned down to my ear, "I have to go." He said, I stayed silent. He straightened and addressed the five of us, "I'll see you guys later." Ben walked off. Doug then came to talk to Evie,

"Listen, Evie I want to talk about earlier today I just-" He was cut off by Chad who was sitting at the table behind us. I hadn't even noticed they came.

"Doug!" Chad called,

"It's my fault Doug I'm sorry." Evie apologised,

"No it's mine-" Doug started to say but Chad cut him off again,

"Doug!"

"What?" Doug asked, looking back at Chad.

"Doug…" Evie trailed off,

"I'm sorry." He plonked down at the table behind us. Evie pushed her food tray forward, losing her appetite. I then heard someone start to speak from behind me,

"How long is she think this is going to last?" Audrey asked someone, "Sophia's just the bad girl infatuation." She elaborated,

"Yeah, I mean he's never going to make a villain, a queen." Jane said in my ear. Then walked off with Audrey, laughing. Mal then took my spellbook and opened it up to a spell,

"Beware forswear undo Jane's hair." She flicked her fingers and judging by the scream, Jane's hair had undone and become plain again. We stood up and turned to the girls,

"There's a lot more where that came from." I stated, glaring at Audrey.

"Excuse me who do you think you are?" Audrey stepped forward,

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I snached my spell book from Mal and started to flick through it. The crowd quickly dispersed. I turned to look at my friends, "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow." I said, closing my book. "Let's get that wand and blow this popsicle stand." We all walked, or in the girl's' case strutted, back to our dorms.
