Chapter 9 [A nightmare? Coronation Day]

Ben's POV

I had a nightmare about the coronation.

= I carried Carlos all the way to the wand, like a bride. His face was just unimaginably red, like a whole new shade of red. I placed him down next to me, then I walked up the stairs to receive my crown.

Fairy Godmother dubbed me, as the new king of Auradon. Well, the king is just a title. I only rule Auradon when I reach the age of 21, so yeah. Time froze as Fairy Godmother got ready to put the wand back into the jar.

The nightmare blurred out, then continued.

Fairy Godmother was frozen, with her wand now in Maleficent's hand. I watched helplessly as Maleficent shoots out a green beam at Carlos =

I was awakened by Carlos, now fully dressed. He had woken me up, and said "Are you okay? You were shaking like crazy! I couldn't get any sleep. You kept growling menacingly". I glanced over at the clock and realized it was 5 AM.

I told Carlos about my nightmare, he assured me saying, "It's just a nightmare, don't worry. I can protect myself now" and he smiled at me. I asked Carlos, "Carlos, can you take this piece of glass with you for this entire day?" and handed him a shard of reflective glass. "Uhm, sure." he said as he tucked it into his pocket.

We decided to take a walk outside, no longer sleepy or tired. We watched as the sun rose, signaling it was my Coronation Day. I went to Fairy Godmother and told her about my nightmare, while Carlos went to retrieve his suit from Evie. I asked the fairy, "What should I do? The dream felt like it was real...". She had a worried look on her face, but that look was replaced by the 'I have an idea!' look. "Here, take this and eat it before all of you get to the castle" she said as she handed me a jar with 9 odd looking white cookies and reflective chips.

"These aren't glass shards, are they?" I asked. She smiled and answered, "No, they're magic infused chips. Don't worry, they're not poisonous".

We gathered at the cafeteria, and I handed everyone the cookie. They all ate it, stating it tasted weird, but then sweet. Mal told everyone about the plan, Audrey was happy that they didn't go with it. Mal chanted, "Magic magic replicate the wand, to lend a hand fighting the evil one", and a green puff of smoke appeared on the table. When the smoke cleared, we were presented with 8 identical wand that looked exactly like Fairy Godmother's wand.

Jane was surprised at first, when she picked up one and swooshed it around. It even left behind yellow-golden particles, like the real wand would. Mal states, "I have a bad feeling that my mother would somehow escape today. So everyone take one of these fake wands, Ben will handle the real one, don't worry these don't really work". We nodded, and took the wands.

Everyone was gasping in awe, I watched some students turn around to be amazed. When I turned around, I too gasped in awe. Evie entered the cafeteria with an extremely handsome and dashing Carlos. I almost couldn't recognize him. His hair was now a modern pompadour style, completely different compared to his afro-ish messy hair before. He looked neat, as if he was attending a super-important meeting. His suit was something else, there were delicate but beautiful and striking golden pattern from his shoulder down to his sleeve. His suit was a blue blazer, he wore a golden tie with a little broken crown at the end signaling Evie made it. The back of his suit had a golden apple and a crown on it. His shoe was made of black leather, his pants matched his blue blazer, except there were also designs at the bottom.

I was jaw-dropped at this new Carlos. He looked more confident than he usually was, but I saw his face being so red that his lips were almost unnoticeable, I let out a light chuckle. Evie and him slowly walked to our table, and when he got there, he let out a sheepish greeting, staggering "H-h-hi g-guys".

Evie exclaimed happily and proudly, "It took me two days and nights, no sleep, to make this beautiful suit! It also took me about 1 hour to turn his hair into what it is now". Carlos nudged her shoulder and said, "This is only for the coronation, my hair is returning to it's original style afterwards". Evie then said "Whatever you say, as long as you look good".

As soon as Evie sat down, her head hit the table and she fell asleep. I was jaw-dropped, still staring at Carlos. He tried to snap me out of my trance, but it didn't work. Audrey tried shaking me, but it didn't work. Jay yelled in my ear, and it didn't work either. What worked was, a loud and hard smack in the face by Mal. Some students turned around and gasped, then I said "I'm okay".

Lonnie laughed and said, "Ben what is wrong with you today?". I was about to enter another trance from looking at the new boy in front of me, but I snapped out of it. I managed to stagger, "I-i-it's just, I've n-never seen Carlos so...", Lonnie asked "soo... what?". I pointed at Carlos, and exclaimed "This!".

Lonnie then said "I would fall for Carlos too if I wasn't already with Jay". Audrey, Jane and Mal looked at each other then sighed. Mal said "We'll find a boyfriend soon" laughing. We enjoyed our breakfast, and I woke up Evie. She only slept for about 10 minutes, but she looked like she enjoyed a 10 hours sleep. After breakfast, we headed for the castle. The rest of the gang had left for their front-of-the-carpet view, while me and Carlos rode the carriage.

Everyone literally stopped and stared at the new white-haired boy, and he just blushed madly. He stated weakly, "Can we speed up this carriage? I'm not used to this much attention". I shook my head and smiled, then said "Well you better get used to this quickly, they'll stare even more when I carry you to the wand" Then he exclaimed quietly, "I forgot about that!"

When we got to the gate, I was informed that I couldn't carry Carlos to the wand. He was about to turn around and join his friends, before the guard allowed him to walk next to me. I smiled, and he frowned. As the giant door slowly swung open, everyone bowed down to me, as Carlos hid behind me. I whispered to him, "Carlos, pup, if you don't walk next to me right now I will pick you up and carry you" smirking. He quickly moved next to me, then everyone had gasped. Some almost forgot to bow, then I saw Fairy Godmother and my mom stunned by how he looked.

He stopped at the stairs, and said "This is where I stay". I nodded and continued up the stairs.

The coronation went exactly like how it should, with Carlos still blushing from the amount of attention he was getting.

Fairy Godmother continued, "Benjamin Florian Adams, I now dub thee, as the new King of Auradon". She tapped both of my shoulders with the wand, everyone bowed down. I was happy the nightmare didn't come true. At least I thought it didn't. The door swung open, with Chad, now looking very evil and sinister. A green puff of smoke appeared a few feet in front of the door.

Fairy Godmother chanted, "Bippity-Boppity-" but Maleficent interrupted her and said "Boo!" and froze everyone. Everyone except me and the gang. The rest of them ran over to Carlos.

"I was told that you four weren't gonna steal the wand by this handsome fella'" she said while pointing to a smirking Chad.

Carlos' POV

Chad said out loud, "I came here for revenge. I came here, to kill the one who should've been killed ages ago" furiously, and pointed at me. "You, Carlos, will die today". He swiftly ran over to attempt to stab me, but using my martial arts skill, I managed to dodge him.

Maleficent literally stopped, so did the rest of my friends, to watch the fight between me, and the now-evil son of Prince Charming. I decided to keep dodging him for a few minutes, trying to convince him to not do this, and he still had a chance to redeem. But he was too angry to listen. I decided to fight back. I managed to kick his hand and the knife flew away, to right in front of Maleficent's staff.

I delivered a few punches to him, but he wouldn't stop fighting back. After delivering a few kicks, I managed to pin him down. Ben yelled, "Carlos! Watch out!" and I saw Maleficent shoot out a green beam from her staff.

I managed to take out the glass shard Ben gave me, and reflected it at Chad before it hit me. The shard shattered when it reflected the beam. The beam had frozen Chad on the ground as it hit him.

I ran over to Ben, still breathing really hard from the fight.

Maleficent said "Impressive moves Carlos, but those won't help you defeat me!". She flew upwards, and attempted to snatch the wand, but Ben got to it before she did. My friends all took out the fake wand, then Jane handed me mine. She whispered to me about the plan and I nodded.

We had a game of 'Chase', Maleficent chased us around the castle, finding each one of us had a fake wand, until she got to Ben. We gathered around Ben, as Maleficent yelled, "You will all pay for this!" and transformed into a dragon. Eventually we were chased around by it, the dragon kept breathing fire at us, but the cookie's magic effect protected us from it's fire, we grouped and Evie chanting "Mirror mirror shine your light!". The mirror shone a light bright enough to blind the dragon/

Mal started chanting, "Evil is as good as none, the hearts of 9 stands as one!". She kept repeating it, and the wand starting to react. We all joined in, after the fourth chant, the wand shot out a beam that transformed Maleficent into a little lizard, before blasting both her and the frozen Chad back to the isle through a window.

Fairy Godmother unfroze, and ran over to us. We gave her a group hug, and she told us "I saw all of that. And I'm sure everyone else did too" as she smiled. She took the wand and chanted "Bippity-Boppity Boo!", unfreezing everyone and reinforcing the barrier around the island. I destroyed the remote used by Chad to temporarily disable the barrier, the remote used by the driver when we came to Auradon.

Everyone clapped as they saw what happened, Belle ran over and hugged us, while Beast congratulated us. I was about to mess up my hair until I saw Evie glare at me, "Don't you dare Carlos, you're keeping that hair for this entire day".

Ben's POV

Carlos then said to me, "Next time you have a nightmare, tell me" as he smiled. His smiled put me into another trance. this time, Mal had to slap me twice, harder than before. I shook my head and realized I was staring at Carlos again. Audrey said jokingly, "I think we need to pull Carlos away, before Ben decides to do something to him". I clung onto Carlos, and exclaimed "Nobody's taking Carlos away from me!". They all laughed, then me and him were requested for photo shoots.

After about 100 photos taken by many, many different journalists, and about 500 more photos of Carlos taken for magazines, we finally left the castle.

When we were walking towards the cafeteria for lunch, Carlos had stopped down, looking worried and scared. Then he said weakly, "Guys... what if this was all just a dream?". That had Jay, Mal and Evie get the same look. Mal said, "I never thought about that... What if this was all just a dream guys? I've never even heard of the possibility of Villains getting a happily ever after?". Jay continued, "Yeah, for all we know, we could all be lucid dreaming". Evie added last, "For all we know, we might wake up soon, back on the Isle".

My eyes got teary after the four Villain kids thought they would never get a happily ever after, just because their parents were villains. Audrey hugged Mal and said, "If this was a dream, I hope you never wake up" tearfully.

I said to the four of them, "This isn't a dream, I assure you" as I kissed Carlos, making a few tears drop from his face. He hugged me, and said "Thanks Ben". Evie added, "Really Ben, thanks. If you hadn't risked inviting us, this would have never happened. I would've became the next Evil Queen, Mal would become the next Maleficent, Jay would become the next Jafar, and Carlos would become the next Cruella".

Then Audrey said, "If you hadn't invited them, I would still be the attention clingy woman I was back then" tearfully. Jane added, "If you hadn't invited them, I would never have gained enough self-confidence and friends to be who I am today". Doug added, "If you hadn't invited them, I would still be friends with that jerk Chad".

Lonnie said last, "If you hadn't invited them, I would never have this many cool friends" smiling. Then added, "And not to mention, this cool hair" laughing.

They all bowed down to me, and said "Thank you, king Ben".

I let a few tears escape from my face, and I said tearfully, "Thank you all, for being here with me, for making me a king like this". We all hugged each other, and Jay said "Enough tears, let's get ready for tonight's party!"

He was gonna give Carlos noogies, before Evie yelled at him glaring evil and menacingly, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH CARLOS' HAIR!". He instantly cowered in fear behind Lonnie. We all laughed.

~That night~

We sang Set it off, signaling the new era of Auradon.

By the end of the song, they all bowed down to me as I kissed Carlos, right in front of everyone. He returned the kiss, this time, I let him dominate.

We kept partying until it was midnight, we heard the familiar bell that Cinderella had heard, signaling it was the end of the party. Everyone returned to their own dorms happily, except for me and Carlos. For some reason, I just couldn't wrap my head around the new looks of Carlos De Vil.

"Ben? Ben!" he yelled snapping me out of another trance. "What is wrong with you today?" he asked. I answered, "I'm sorry, I'm just not used to your new looks". He smiled at me, and said "Well then you better take a picture cause today is the only day I'll look like this" and chuckled.

I quickly took out my phone, and he quickly posed as I took a picture. I said "I am keeping this one forever" smiling.

He said to me, "Can I go sleep now?". I nodded and we walked back to our dorm. He was about to enter his room, before I pulled him into mine. I said "Oh no you don't you're my room mate now" smiling.

He said to me "What about Jay?". I said "Don't worry, Jay has Lonnie with him. And I'll let you use your room whenever you want, but you are going to sleep with me at night". He let out a sigh and said "Okay fine".

He carefully took off his suit, afraid of ruining it. I almost caught a glimpse of him naked, but I reverted my eyes when he glared at me. "Now can we do naughty things?" I asked, to my dismay, he once again shook his head. "No, but maybe tomorrow night will do. I'm way too tired from everything that happened today" he said.

"Okay, but we're gonna cuddle naked again, right?" I said happily. He smiled and nodded.

We both fell asleep in another cuddle position that night.

I had a good dream. A good dream about the future.

Aaaaaand, that's it for this chapter! And no, this isn't the end of this fanfiction. At least, not yet. ;) I wish I could draw how Carlos looks like during this chapter for all of you, but I am a terrible Artist, so no. :(

What do you think will happen in the next few chapters?

I hope you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading ya'll!
