Hi! I'm so excited to see the 5th Wave this week! Here's your prompt from Pinksakura27: Ben is sick; Mal has to take care of him. Sophia & Sean take meetings in their places (Ages 12-16). SIDENOTE: Please go and read my other story: Descendants' One Shots, and then please review and give me prompts!
"You're sick." Mal bluntly told her husband, ignoring all of his pleas to let him out of bed to attend 5 meetings today.
"Who's going to do all the meetings? Who's going to decide all of the party information? Who's going to go give the speech?!" Ben stressed, starting to cough.
"You know that Sophia is old enough to handle all of your duties, after all she will have to take on your responsibilities in a few years," She reminded him, not wanting to admit that their little girl was growing up.
When he didn't answer, Mal got up, and left the room to get some cough syrup and a bucket for him to puke in.
"Okay, Sean," Sophia explained, "You have to go to the ballroom and meet with the advisors at 11:00, then at 1:00 you have to attend a meeting about the school; all you have to do is take notes and let me look over them after," Watching his eyes grow wide, Sophia quickly rushed away to change out of her nightclothes into a navy blue dress with ruffles going down to the ground.
"Everyone in the Kingdom is permitted to join us in celebrating Halloween, next week with our annual Halloween Ball. Costumes are required for entry, and we hope you all come!" Sophia finished, waving to the people ad curtsying.
"Wow, that was a great speech," Aurelia drawled, looking like she wanted to rip the blue dress right off of the Princess' back.
"Thanks," Sophia said strangely, nervously looking at the time and suddenly realizing that she had to get to another meeting for the meals that they would be eating this week. Running out the door, she quickly shouted a goodbye to Aurelia and picked up the front of her dress as to not trip on it.
"Red and Black streamers?"
"Eyeballs in the punch?"
"Spiders crawling up the walls?"
All of the suggestions were hurled at the young prince as he desperately tried to scribble them down in hand writing that better be eligible later or Sophia would have his head.
"WAIT!" He finally shouted, not knowing what to do, either than stop the suggestions. Sighing as the advisors around him all stopped talking at once, he slowly attempted to start rewriting the ideas that had been so messily written down that they looked like alphabet soup.
"Okay, so one of a time, you can all tell me all your ideas for the party,"
Line Break
Sophia had never actually had to make the choices at these meeting, but now that she actually had to made them, she realized that this was a lot harder than her mom made it look. Hoping that her family would be okay with her choices, she began to slowly make them.
"For Friday, we can have the mushroom soup and pork chops with strawberries," She said, without realizing that she had said strawberries instead of broccoli.
With the chefs looking peculiarly at her choice, they slowly wrote down the meal for Friday's dinner.
The meeting for the school was torture, all they were doing were talking about how they were going to add like 50 more classrooms to the school (or something, Sean wasn't listening), change all the lockers and extend the library. But Sean knew his father would want him to be interested or at least pretend to be interested.
"What number of classrooms do you think we should add, your highness?" An advisor asked him, not at all aware that the boy was not interested in school at all.
"Uh, 28?" Sean unsurely told him, thinking of a random number.
"Of course! What a great number!" The advisors squealed, leaving Sean to wonder why 28 was the most perfect number in the world for the classrooms.
Ben puked for the 10th time in three hours feeling the crappiest he had ever felt. Mal slowly patted his back and kissed his forehead, getting up to dump the puke.
Ben was honestly seriously worried about both of his children. He knew that Sophia was not the fondest of giving speeches. He knew that Sean couldn't write fast if the world depended on it. He knew all of these things and hoped they were doing okay, thinking that they should be done by down, he sent a maid to go get them.
When the maid returned, Ben looked at Sophia and Sean and thought about how grown up they looked; Sophia in a gown that was nearly identical to her mothers on his coronation day and Sean in a suit and tie, crazy hair done neatly.
"Hi Daddy!" they chorused, looking at the other in surprise upon realization.
"Hey princess! Hey bud!" Ben said, trying to sound perkier than her felt.
As the prince and the princess hugged their father, Mal watched from the doorway, wondering how she got this lucky. How lucky she was to have a family whom she loves. How lucky she was to have a family who loves her.
Hope you liked it! Make sure you review with (:D:D) and tell me if you want a Bade story or a Bori story! Also! Would you be into a Percy Jackson story? Let me know! Please review and tell me what fandom you would like me to write for next as I really want to start some new stories that aren't "One shot series", but actually I don't know how that would go for me to start another story, considering that Fourtris Train Initiates updates are going very well ha-ha. But I really want to try again! I don't know what to write about though, and now this is turning into a rant about my lack of creativity. Oopps! Anyways, maybe I'll get some inspiration from watching the series premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow!
