Chapter 10 here we go! This is completely in Carlos's POV. It's the Family Day scene, from the previous chapter, and the scene afterwards. Almost done! I'm trying to finish this story before Descendants 2 premieres and then; of course write Ali into that movie. Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

CARLOS

I walked with Mal, Evie and Jay into the courtyard. Today was family day, and I know I might have to meet Ali's parents. To say I was nervous was putting it lightly, I'm freaking out! I don't know how they will react when they find out I'm dating their daughter.

We arrived in time to see the end of the performance put on by a few students. Evie and Mal go to watch the rest of it, Jay and I however find the chocolate fountain. I laugh as I watch Jay stick his tongue directly into the chocolate and soon follow suit. I really wish we had chocolate on the Isle. I had no idea what I was missing.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and see Ali standing there, she giggled and handed me a napkin, "Enjoying the chocolate?"

I smile and take the napkin, wiping the chocolate off my face as I took in her outfit. A pink short skirt, with a white top that showed off her midriff, a black jacket, and black shoes. She looked absolutely beautiful. Not something I would expect anyone from Auradon to wear; yet, somehow it seemed to fit with Ali's personality perfectly. I notice she is looking at Jay with a raised eyebrow. I look over and see him gawking at her.

I elbow him in the ribs, hard, "Can you not stare at my girlfriend like that?" I feel a bubble of jealously in my chest and I know that if it was anyone else but Jay, I would've decked them.

"Sorry," He mumbles and looks at the ground.

"Carlos," Ali's voice got my attention back to her, "Come with me, I need to introduce you to my parents."

Uh oh, the moment I feared, "Your parents?" My voice came out weak and nervous, and cracked towards the end of the question. That will make a good first impression.

She took my hand in hers, and her smile instantly made me feel a little better, "It'll be okay, I promise."

She turned and started to lead me over to where assume her parents are, I quickly fall into step next to her and whisper into her ear, "You look beautiful, can't really blame Jay for staring."

I smile when I see a red tinge on her cheeks and I really think I love this girl. "Thank you," she whispers back, "and don't be nervous."

I look forward again and I see a young beautiful couple who I can only assume are her parents. Her mother was in a blue dress and her father in tan pants, white shirt, and blue tie. I can't help but feel out of place. I felt Ali let go of my hand as she walked up to her parents. I stayed back a little and watched.

"Mom! Dad!"

Her dad quickly hugged her, "Ali-girl! How are you doing, princess?"

Ali-girl? I might have to use that later. I smile as I watch her mother hug her next.

"Would it kill you to dress like a proper princess for once?"

I had a feeling her mother wouldn't like the outfit, but I had to stop myself from laughing at Ali's response, "I figure if I dress this way, I won't have to find out."

I notice her mother's eyes flick back to look at me, and I feel nervous and out of place again. I know that if I open my mouth, my voice will crack and I do not want her parents to hear that.

"And who is this?" Ali looks back at me and smile, she waves me forward and I step next to her again, forcing a nervous smile onto my face.

"Mom, dad, this is Carlos. Carlos, this is my mom, Princess Aurora, and my dad, Prince Phillip. Carlos is my boyfriend."

Her dad stretched out his hand and I return the gesture, hoping my hands aren't too sweaty, "Carlos? I don't think we've met before."

Oh no, here we go. I know I must've looked panicked because Ali quickly jumped in, "Carlos is from the Isle. He came over with Ben's proclamation."

Her mother step towards me and looks as if she's scrutinizing me. All of a sudden, she pulled me into a hug, I was shocked and barely had enough time to react before she pulled back, "Please, call us Aurora and Phillip." I smile and nod, still too nervous to speak. Aurora turned her attention back to Ali, "Ali, you need to tell your grandmother."

Grandmother?

"She's here?" Ali questioned, the shock was clearly evident in her voice.

"Of course," her dad answered, "Why wouldn't she be?"

"She's not a parent!" Ali almost screamed. Woah, I guess she doesn't get along with her grandmother.

Her dad stood straighter and got a stern look on his face, "You do not yell at you parents. She is your grandmother and she is here to see you and Audrey. Now, go find her."

Ali sighed and grabbed my hand, "Yes, dad."

She dragged me away in search of her grandmother. We walked towards the croquet field and I looked at her, "What was that about?"

Ali responded as her eyes were looking for her grandmother, "I'm sorry you had to see that. I don't like my grandmother very much. We don't see eye to eye on A LOT of things. My parents have gotten used to it and they know my limits. My grandmother does not. I didn't know she would be here today." She abruptly stopped when we reached the field, "This can't be good."

She leads me over to where Mal was standing with an older woman, Audrey standing next the elder. Wait, that must be Aurora's mothe…. oh no, Ali's right this can't be good.

"You! How are you here?"

Ben quickly walks over to Mal, reaching her just before we do, "Queen Leah, it's okay. Maleficent is still on the island. This is her daughter, Mal. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"

As Ben was trying to calm her down we had gathered a small crowd around us. Fairy Godmother was standing next to Queen Leah. Audrey was on the Queen's other side, with Chad, Doug, and Lonnie standing with her. On Mal's side it was Ben, Ali, Jay, Evie and myself. It was easy to see the divide.

"A chance to what? Destroy our lives?" Queen Leah yelled back at Ben. Her eyes landed on Ali, then on our clasped hands, and finally on me. "And you! Get your villainous hands off of my granddaughter!"

Queen Leah reached forward and grabbed Ali's other hand and pulled her away from me. I stepped forward but stopped when I felt Jay's hand on my shoulder, holding me in place.

"Don't. You might make this worse," Evie whispered to me. I knew she was right, but that doesn't mean I like it.

Audrey grabbed both of Ali's shoulders, staring me down in the process. Ali wiggled her way out of her sister's grasp, "Stop, this is ridiculous. Grammy, you can't keep me away from my boyfriend." Ali walked over to my side and again and held my hand, more firmly this time. I had to strongly resist the urge to smile.

Queen Leah, however was not happy, "Who do you think you are, young lady? You are a princess and you will act as such. You can't be dating a villain and dressing the way, you do. You are in line for the throne and you will act like it!"

"I don't want all that! I've never wanted that!" Ali was yelling back at her grandmother.

Ben was the target of Queen Leah's wrath now, "What did you think you were doing bringing them here? See the trouble you have caused? My own granddaughter doesn't want her throne anymore!"

"Granny, that had nothing to do with the proclamation!" Ali tried to tell her, but Fairy Godmother had already led Queen Leah away.

Chad stepped up to Ben now, "We told you they were bad news, Ben! They're tearing families apart!"

Ben stepped up, him and Chad almost nose to nose, "Chad, they're doing none of this. What just happened was not their fault and you know that!"

Chad turned to look at Mal, "You stole Audrey's boyfriend."

"No, she didn't!" Ben yelled back. Technically, she did though…

Chad looked at Jay, "You enjoy hurting people." Jay just narrowed his eyes in response but I know how much he wants to punch Chad right now.

Chad looked at me, "You tore apart a family."

Ali stepped towards Chad, "He did nothing and you know it." The amount of venom in her voice surprised me.

Chad ignored her and finally looked at Evie, "and you think you're the fairest of them all when you aren't even close."

Evie narrowed her eyes and pulled out the mirror, "Magic Mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land?" She turned the mirror over and Chad saw his own reflection.

"Yeah, right." He pushed Evie's hand out of her face and that was all Jay needed to lunge forwards.

He grabbed Chad's wrist, "Don't you dare lay a hand on her."

Chad tried to push back but Ben and Doug stepped in to try and stop the fight. I saw Evie reach into her purse and pulled out the spray she is supposed to use on the driver tomorrow. She sprays it in Chad's face and he goes down. He collapsed onto Doug and Lonnie and Audrey start to freak out.

"Let's go." Jay says and started to leave. I turn to follow and I can feel Ali's stare burning into my back. I know I can't turn around, if I do it'll just make things worse.

We walk into the cafeteria, grabbing food and find a table outside to sit at, not saying anything. It isn't long until Family Day od over and the Auradon kids start to sit at the other table. Lonnie, and Chad sit down with some other kids; I don't know their names, Audrey and Jane stand off to the side whispering to each other, and Doug is pacing between the two tables.

He looks at Evie, "Evie, I'm- "

"No Doug, it's my- "

"Doug!" Chad yelled at him.

Doug looked sadly at Evie, "I'm sorry."

"Doug," Evie's voice was barely above a whisper.

Doug sat next to Chad and looked really unhappy. Ben walks up behind Mal and places his hands on her shoulders.

"Hey guys, I have to stuff to take of for tomorrow. I'll see you guys later." He kissed Mal's forehead and walked away.

Ali walks up and stops when she sees the two tables. For a second, I'm afraid she'll choose the other one, but then she makes a move to sit next to me.

"Ali!" Chad yelled at her the same way he did Doug, expecting the same result.

Ali just looks at him and firmly seats herself next to me. She looks at me and gives a small smile, which I return. She opens her mouth but was interrupted when Audrey walked over and spoke to us.

"How long does she think it's going to last?" Audrey taunted, standing above Mal she looked at the rest of us, "Mal is just the bad girl infatuation."

"Audrey stop." Ali said standing, placing her hands on the table in front of her.

Jane stood next to Audrey and leaned closer to Mal, "Yeah, I mean, He's never going to make a villain a queen."

"You too, Jane. I thought you were better than this. Remember when people made fun of you." Ali spat back at her. I didn't realize how much bite she had in her.

Audrey stared at her twin sister, "You're really choosing them instead of your friends," she pointed to the table, "and your family?" she pointed to herself.

Ali nodded, "They are my friends. And when my other so-called friends and family act like this; yes, I'm going to sit with them."

Audrey's expression changed into something; sadness, regret, before I could pin point it, it changed back into stone, "Well, I guess your loyalties changed."

Ali's eyes were cold as she responded, "Yeah, I guess they have."

Audrey and Jane walked over to join the other Auradon kids and Ali sat back down next to me, she placed her elbows on the table and her head in her hands. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and pulled her gently into me. She gave in immediately and her head was on my shoulder. I kissed her forehead and she angles her head to smile up at me.

"Beware for swear, undo Jane's hair." Mal suddenly said. Jane's hair went back to the style it was before and the other girls started laughing at her.

Audrey stand in front of Mal, "What are you doing?"

Ali picks up her head as Mal answers, "There's a lot more where that came from."

"Excuse me. Who do you think you are?" Audrey placed her hands on her hips.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" When no one moved, Mal opened her spell book and the other kids ran.

Mal turned us, "Let's go guys. Sorry, Alissa."

Ali nodded and remained there as we walked away. Mal whispered, "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Let's grab that wand and blow this popsicle stand."

I pulled back from the group, mumbling, "See you later." And I walked back over to Ali, "Hey,"

Her head snapped up at that sound of my voice and she turned around and stood in front of me.

I took a breath, "Will you still go to the coronation with me tomorrow?"

She smiled and nodded, "Of course," she wrapped her arms around my neck and I placed my hands on her waist, "Come find me if you need to talk, okay?"

I nodded, "I promise," I leaned in and kissed her, this one felt even better than our first kiss. I broke apart and looked into her eyes. I think I love her, and I want to tell her I really do, but 'm not sure what love feels like. I suddenly realize who I can talk to about this, "I have to go, I'll see you later."

She nods and we break our embrace. I make my way towards the dormitories, hoping I remember the right room to go to.
