Hello, sorry been away for quite along time I was going to update in January but couldn't really think of what to write and I felt really down about myself, so I pretty much cried for a n entire week about decisions I made as a child, and how I want them to hurry up and invent time travel and not care about paradox's.
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. Pancake day soon and then Easter...I like pancake day my favourite topping is butter and maple syrup, once i had proper Canadian maple syrup it is so good you can get it here it is just more expensive.
anyway hope you enjoy this chapter
The castle was in a frenzy trying to get everything ready, Ben and the VK's were dressed in their best clothes.
"Mal, go put your shoes on," Belle said as she finished Dutch braids on Mals hair. "You alright Evie?" Belle asked as she walked over to where Evie was putting on some make-up, Evie nodded in reply.
"Laces please," Mal asked as she walked over to Belle who ben down to tie them, Evie turned to see what shoes Mal had chosen before giving her a look that said, "Really Mal,".
"They go with the dress though, and I love these shoes," Mal said, to which Evie had to agree those shoes did go with Mals dress but she felt hat another pair would have gone better.
Mal had chosen a purple dress that sparkled when it hit the light it had one thick layer with a see-through ruffle layer over it at the skirt, Mal felt it gave off a rocker chick vibe.
Evie chose a simple blue dress that sparkled like Mals but had a simple rose by her shoulder, she felt elegant especially when she put on her black shoes with a slight heel.
"We are ready," Jay said as he walked in wearing a darkish brown suit and tie.
"Very Handsom boys," Belle said as the others walked in.
"Look it's red," Carlos said as he patted down his suit loving the fact it was his favourite colour.
"Is it time to go yet?" Mal asked as she held Morpheus.
"Not yet, but soon," Belle said as Adam sat down next to her.
"So, when you tell them we can go to school?" Mal asked excitedly, a question she had asked repeatedly.
"Yup, you will be able to go to school make and make new friends," Adam said.
"WOOOHOOO!" Mal cheered with a smile on her face as she danced around the room.
After half an hour it was time to make the announcement, Fairy Godmother had arrived with Jane to help with preparations.
"You guys ready?" Fairy Godmother asked, before Adam and Belle walked out.
"Can I take Morpheus out with me, he's scared so I have to keep him with me?" Mal asked quietly.
"Of course, you can Mal, hope Morpheus feels okay soon with someone like you hugging him I am sure he will be safe and sound" Belle said reassuringly.
Five minutes later Adam and Belle walked out to greet the citizens of Auradon, camera flashes were strewn across the crowd microphones and Dictaphones held out to him.
"Good morning everyone we hope you are all well, on this beautiful sunny day," Adam started.
"As you know we have called you here today to make an announcement, I know this is short notice having only stated that an announcement will be made several days ago, I am sorry if any plans have been disrupted," Adam said.
"Several weeks ago, a barge returning from the Isle bringing with it four extra passengers these passengers are children at the age of eight, we do not know why they were on the barge but we do not believe they were of malicious intent as they were asleep when they were found," Adam said pausing for a moment.
"We do not believe they are of any threat they were frightened as any child would be upon waking up to find unfamiliar people amongst them, we took them to the hospital were sadly but if I am honest, I am not surprised injuries were discovered and they were malnourished it appears even the goodness of a child's heart cannot change a villain's heart, any questions before you meet them?" Adam asked.
"Has anything been done to prevent others coming through the barrier?" Queen Leah asked.
"Yes, Fairy Godmother has updated the barrier of sorts," Belle said. "Only children aged up to 17 can enter, and before you worry yourselves with villains sending their children off to take over Auradon this is not being broadcast to the isle, for the safety of everyone," Belle finished.
"What about school will they be attending school here in Auradon?" A reporter at the front asked.
"Yes, they will be attending Auradon Elementary," Belle answered.
After a few more questions mostly about if they are bad, where are they academically, the question was asked.
"Who are their parents?" Princess Anna asked.
Adam looked towards Belle who nodded in agreement.
"Jay is the son of Jafar, Evie is the daughter of the Evil Queen, Carlos is the son of Cruella De vil and Mal is the daughter of...Maleficent," Adam said as he excepted a few gasps rang out.
"And now you can meet them," Adam said as Lumiere took cue to tell Fairy Godmother it was time.
A few moments later Ben taking the lead four new nervous looking faces appeared.
"This is Mal, Jay, Carlos and Evie," Ben said as he gestured to each matching their names. "They are very nice they made me feel better during a thunderstorm," Ben said smiling happily.
"Are we allowed to ask the children questions?" Princess Jasmine asked.
"Yes, but please do not overwhelm them," Belle said.
"This is for the four newcomers; how does it feel to be in Auradon?" Princess Jasmine asked.
"Fun," Jay said smiling. "Ben lets us play in his tree house,"
"I'm glad and do you like it here?" Aladdin asked, if he did not know whose Jay's father was before seeing him, he would have guessed Jafar straight away spitting image of him.
"Yeees," Jay said still smiling.
"Another question for the VK's," Snow White aid. "What are you most looking forward to doing now that everyone knows you are here?"
"School," Mal said happily.
"Really? Did they not have school on the isle?" Snow White asked.
"They did but the older kids stole your lunch if you had one, and the teachers were scary except Hades he was funny and never mean to us and they lessons were boring and horrible and scary and told us to be evil and I don't want to do that," Mal said as she held Morpheus close.
"Well I am sure you will love school here, no one tells you to be evil," Snow White said reassuringly.
"Hades was actually nice?" Hercules asked shocked.
"Yeah to the younger kids I don't know about the older ones, he told us funny stories he taught Advanced Vanities, but mostly told us stories as he saw no point in the actual subject...his words," Mal said quietly.
After a few more questions mostly about how the VKS's were settling in and how they found living in a big castle, Adam thanked everyone for coming and to those who were invited to join them in the ballroom for the welcome party.
"You guys did great well done," Belle said once they were all inside.
"It was okay," Jay said seemingly not bothered.
"Is a lot of people going to be at the party?" Carlos asked.
"Not as many as before about thirty people, which is Bens friends and their parents," Adam said as he lifted Mal up.
"Okay," Carlos said as he walked alongside Ben and Evie.
The party was in full swing Ben had taken the VK's to introduce them to his friends while Belle and Adam stayed to talk to Mulan and Snow white.
"So how is it looking after four more little ones?" Mulan asked.
"You know, not as bad as one would think no one has ripped anyone's heads off...yet," Adam said accepting the offered champagne.
"Really, well I guess when they get to know each other more, honestly Lonnie and Luke get at each other every minute of the day...okay maybe that is an exaggeration," Mulan said, causing the others to chuckle lightly.
Meanwhile the VK's were hanging round a big pile of balloons while Ben introduced them to several new faces.
"Guys this is Jay, Mal, Evie and Carlos," Ben said pointing out each name. "And this is Lonnie, Luke, Audrey, Chad and Ellie," Ben said pointing out each name again.
"Hii," Lonnie said as she waved.
"Hi," Jay said, also waving.
"Why do you have a bunny?" Audrey asked as she saw the teddy in Mals arms.
"Because he doesn't want to be by himself," Mal answered holding him tighter.
"What's his name?" Audrey asked.
"Morpheus," Mal said.
"Cool, you know Morpheus is god of dreams I have a bunny to except she's black and called Athena she's the goddess of wisdom," Audrey said.
"Cool," Mal said.
"What happened to your arm?" Chad asked, as he noticed Evie's arm in a cast.
"It's broken," Jay said. "We had casts on too but we got them off sooner, Evi's hasn't mended yet," Jay informed.
"Ohhh," Chad said as he ran off to go kick some balloons.
"Want to come play with us, we mostly play tag and dance," Ben said.
"Oh and hide and seek," Luke said.
"That too," Ben said.
"Except he cheats because he always gives away were, I am," Lonnie said.
"I do not," Luke said crossing his arms.
"Do too," Lonnie said crossing hers.
"They are brother and sister and always argue," Jane said.
"We do not," Lonnie and Luke said at the same time.
Ben and the others had to hold in their laughter due to the utter seriousness of Lonnie and Luke's expression.
"So what game shall we play?" Jay asked.
"I don't mind" Ellie said as she shrugged.
"Hoow about Tag?" Doug suggested as he came up behind them.
"There you are Doug we couldn't find you," Audrey said.
"Sorry mom was talking to Ariel which is okay but she kept asking if I was joining the swim team or water polo team, I do not do well in sports I am not made for them I am made for band...band and Science," Doug said.
"Sorry Doug is weird," Audrey said.
"True but then I would not have let you copy my homework that one time," Doug said smugly.
"Fair enough," Audrey said.
"So, tag?" Chad said, everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'm just going to put Morpheus somewhere safe," Mal said as she quickly ran off to her room.
As soon as Mal came back a deciding rhyme was chanted and he tagger was chosen...Jay.
"You cannot out run me guys, "Jay said as he ran after them weaving in and out of various grownups.
"Tag," Jay said as he tagged Doug, they played for a good half hour when it was announced the food table was open.
"Come one we can play more after food," Ben said as he led the way to the mountain of food.
Everyone got a plate of food were as the children got a mountain of candy one sandwich and some fruit or in Mals case one plate with candy and one sandwich and another plate dedicated to strawberries.
"If you didn't know already Mal loves strawberries," Carlos said.
"They are so good," Mal said as she concentrated hard on not dropping the plates.
"We will show you the best place to eat at parties," Chad said.
"I mean you can do it at any time it just isn't the same if it isn't at a party," Ellie said.
"Where is it?" Jay asked.
"Under the table," Luke said as he led the say.
"It's so cool under here," Carlos said before biting into his ham sandwich.
"It most defiantly is," Jane said as she ate a Reese cup.
"Why doses Evie not talk?" Ellie asked.
"She doesn't want to, she talks sometimes when she is used to people, she has known us since forever and she doesn't always talk to us but that's okay," Mal said as she chewed on a gummie bear.
The others nodded in agreement and continued eating their food.
After they had all finished their food the group of kids decided to go dance.
"I don't know how to dance," Mal said.
"That's okay just jump and spin about, that's what we do," Lonnie said.
"I don't want to look stupid if I do it wrong, I get everything wrong," Mal said quietly.
"You won't look stupid you won't get it wrong," Audrey said, taking Mals hands in hers and moved them about to the music.
Soon enough Mal got the hand of it and was dancing around with Audrey and the others, Chad showed off his break dance skills which was mostly jumping and rolling on the floor but everyone seemed to find it impressive.
"Wow, you're really good," Carlos said, as he watched.
"Guy's, I smell cake," Doug said, dramatically.
"Cake?" Luke and Lonnie asked at the same time.
"Huuhu, follow me," Doug said, as he headed towards the food table.
"How can you smell cake?" Jay asked.
"I have a very smart nose, which is helpful for finding the good biscuits, and of course cake," Doug said as he came to a stop in front of the king and queen.
"There you guys are, you guys ready for some cake?" Adam asked, the children nodded in a way that said of course we are.
"I've never had cake before," Jay said as he took a big bite of his slice. The cake was chocolate flavour with fudge icing, and silver balls on top that turned out to be chocolate.
"I. Love. Cake," Carlos said.
"It's the best food ever," Doug said.
Soon the party was drawing to a close and everyone started to leave, some stayed behind to help clear away while the children continued to play with the balloons.
"Let's try to keep them all up in the air," Ellie said, as she threw her balloon in the air and kept hitting it.
"Okay," Carlos said as he threw his, soon all the kids were running about trying not to let one touch the ground.
"How are they still going, I feel as though I could sleep for a month," Belle said, as she watched them play.
"Probably all that sugar," Aura said as she picked up a napkin that had falling onto the floor.
"Maybe we should have put less sweets out," Adam said.
"At least they are having fun," Belle said.
Ten minutes later the room was cleared some guest taing home some left over nibbles while others took a balloon, they had developed a huge sentimental connection with.
"He is called Oscar," Ellie said.
"Is he now?" Asked Anna, as she picked the child up.
"You think mommy will let me keep him?" Ellie asked sleepily.
"Of course, she will," Anna said.
"I hope he doesn't pop, cos I love him can mommy freeze it?" Ellie asked as she tried to keep her eyes open.
"I am sure she will," Anna said as Ellie soon lost the battle and went to the land of nod.
"Thank you for coming Princess Anna, hope Ellie enjoyed her time," Adam said.
"Thanks for the invite your highness, I am sure Ellie did Elsa will be pleased not to put an over excited child to bed," Anna said, as she repositioned Ellie in her arms.
"I hope Queen Elsa is doing better?" Adam asked.
"Much better thank you, still sneezing snowgies as Ellie calls them," Anna said, chuckling lightly as did Adam.
"Well I'll let you get on your way, thank you again for coming and have a safe journey goodnight," Adam said.
"Goodnight," Anna said as she got into her limo and buckled Ellie in.
Adam waited till the limo had disappeared before heading back inside, Luke and Lonnie had been the first to leave after Luke had popped Lonnie's balloon and Lonnie tripping him over. Doug and Audrey were yet to leave.
"You ready to go now Doug?" Asked Megan.
"Yeah just one sec mom," Doug said. "I'll see you guys at school, byee,"
"Bye," Carlos said.
"Today was fun," Carlos said.
"I agree," Said Ben.
"Janey come on time to go," Fairy Godmother said.
"Bye guys," Jane said quietly, Evie waved smiling lightly.
"Audrey," Queen Leah called.
"Does she have to go? Can't she stay?" Mal asked not wanting her new friend to leave.
"No, she cannot she has to go home to bed," Leah said as she took Audrey's hand.
"But I am not tired," Audrey said.
"It is way past your bedtime Audrey and you are going home and straight to bed understood?" Leah said.
Audrey stuck out her tongue in response.
"Less of the cheek, say goodbye then we are leaving," Leah said.
"Bye," Audrey said sadly.
"Why must you be so strict, mother?" Aurora asked.
"She needs to learn respect," Leah said.
"Yes and you need to show it treating her like that is going to make her think she can get away with treating others that way, and besides she is a tired eight year old," Aurora said.
"I am not tired," Audrey said.
"Sure, did you have a good time?" Aurora asked.
"Yes," Audrey said.
"Are you ready to say goodbye and go to bed?" Aurora asked looking into her daughters' eyes.
"Okay I'll go to bed," Audrey said as she said goodbye to Belle and Adam before leaving.
"Come on Chad lets go," Cinderella said.
"See ya," Chad said before barreling out the door deciding on racing his father to the car.
"You guys ready for bed?" Belle asked as she approached the group.
"Ben is," Mal said pointing to a sleeping Ben.
"I got him," Adam said as he lifted his son, and carried him to bed.
"Come on let's get ready for bed, it's getting late," Belle said.
"But I am not tired can we play more pleease?" Mal asked.
"You can play tomorrow but now it's bedtime," Belle said as she got each child's pjs out.
"But, ohh pleeease," Mal asked.
"You need to rest those eyes," Belle said, and soon enough every child was fast asleep.
"Today went well," Adam said.
"It did, I'm glad but I am exhausted," Belle said as she sat down on the bed.
"Come on, here's too pjs," Adam said as he handed them to his wife before changing into his own.
