The Sea Princess

Chapter Ten

"Are you ready yet?" Adella impatiently asked as she sat on one of the many stools in Ben's room.

"One second" Ben called from inside of the changing room, Adella still questions why he has to have a changing room in his bedroom.

"I'm ready so please hurry up." She shouted back to him, he quickly came out of the room and picked up Adella's bag from on top of the dresser before throwing it at her.

"Come on then, I've been ready for ages," Ben laughed impersonating her. The two made their way down to where the coronation was going to be taking place along with his parents; the King and Queen of Auradon. Once they arrived Adella split away from the group and made her way to the front to watch her best-friend's big day.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon with justice and mercy for as long as you shall reign?" FG said as Ben's coronation began.

"I do solemnly swear" Ben promised smiling up at the women in front of him.

"Then it is my honour and my joy to bless our new king." FG announced causing the crowd to cheer as she waved her magic wand around in the air.

Until suddenly Jane lurched forward grabbing the wand of her mother, "child, what are you doing?" FG shouted staring wide-eyed at her daughter.

"If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself" Jane stated as she tried to control the wand, "bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" Jane said but the wand changed direction causing a green beam to shoot out through the roof which allowed Mal to take the wand.

"Mal, give me the wand" FG demanded.

"Stand back" Mal ordered as she pointed the wand at people causing them to take a few steps back.

"You really want to do this?" Ben asked as the other three Villain Kids went and stood behind Mal, Adella stared at the five of them as realisation dawned on her—was she just a pawn? She questioned as she made eye contact with Mal.

"We have no choice, Ben, our parents—"

"Your parents made their choice, now make yours"

"I think I want to be good"

"You are good"

"How do you know that"

"Because I'm listening to my heart, you should listen to yours too"

"My heart is telling me that we are not our parents. I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy; tourney and victory pizza with the teams makes you happy—" Mal started off pointing at Jay, "and you scratching dude's belly and Adella makes you happy, who would've thought" this time she looked at Mal, Adella grinned to herself at the comment; "and Evie you do not have to play dumb to get a guy, you are so smart," now she looked at Evie, "and you, impressing your mother doesn't make you happy, music makes you happy—I heard you in the music room," lastly looking at Uriah, who Adella had been ignoring; "and I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy, I want to go to school and be with Ben. Because Ben makes me really happy. Us being friends makes me really happy not destroy things. I choose good, you guys"

"I choose good, too"

"I choose good, too"

"I choose good"

"So, just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be? Because they're going to be really, really mad"

"Your parents can't reach you here"

"Okay then, I choose good"

"I'm back" A shrill voice took through the air as out of nowhere Maleficent appeared.

"It can't be" Adella whispered to herself as her eyes widened in fright as she tried to slowly step backwards in hopes that she wouldn't be seen.

"Go away mother"

"She's funny"

"Wand me, chop chop."

"No"

"Bibbidi-bobbidi—"

"Boo"

And suddenly the world went black.

Once Adella got her sight back and saw that Maleficent had turned into a small tiny dragon, she didn't have time to question or process it as she found herself being pulled into Carlos' arms in a tight hug. "Are you okay?" Adella question as she pulled away slightly, scrutinising him for any signs of injuries.

"I'm okay, you?" He replied pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"I'm good" Adella confirmed as she pulled him into a rough passionate kiss.

"Well let's get this party started!" The two heard Jay yell, Adella laughed as she allowed Carlos to pull her away to a secluded bit of the room.

"Adella, would you do the honour of being my girlfriend?" Carlos asked smiling down, his eyes filling with insecurities.

"Yes" Adella grinned as she leant up to kiss him but he pulled away just before their lips met.

"You sure?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"I'm a villain."

"Nobody is born evil, Carlos, we all have the ability to do good or bad and sometimes both. No-one is fully bad just as no-one is fully good. When I look at you I don't see Carlos son of Cruella De Vil I just see you, I see Carlos the boy who loves chocolate, the boy who loves Dude. The boy I love." With that their lips softly touched.

And their night was filled with fun, music and dancing.
