All of our dresses were turned short and it was time for our grand finale. Mal was standing next to Ben smiling at us. Finally she's found her place and now I can finally say the same for myself. I just couldn't contain my excitement and happiness. I wouldn't stop smiling so widely.
"Looking back at yesterday
I thought I gave it everything
But still there's so much road ahead of me
When I looked into your eyes
I guess I didn't recognize
Who we are and all that we can be
Sometimes it's hard to find yourself
But it's worth it in the end
'Cause in your heart is all where it begins
We gotta be bold
We gotta be brave
We gotta be free
We gotta get loud
Making that change
You gotta believe
We'll look deep inside
And we'll rise up and shine
We can be bold
We can be brave
Let everyone see
It starts with you and me
It starts with you and me
It starts with you and me"
We all started dancing and splashing on the deck. I did a polite curtsy to Mal when she passed by me. She curtsied back and we all resumed dancing and having fun. Everyone else had a partner to dance with but me. I sat down on the lower steps and watched everyone dance. I'll just wait for Mal to come back. Then suddenly the most wonderful thing happened to me. Ben came up to me and offered me to dance.
"I wouldn't like to see a princess being so lonely. May I have this dance?" I was so shocked. This is Mal's true love. "Don't worry Mal told me to dance with you." I looked over at Mal who was standing next to Evie she waved at me to take his offer. I reached out my hand and grabbed his. "It would be my pleasure." I was dancing with the king. I tried to get a glimpse at Mal so I can send a smile and a thank you to her.
I mouthed my thank you to her and she mouthed back a you're welcome. I looked at Ben and I just couldn't help myself he was right in front of me and I wanted to show my appreciation to him somehow. I just gave him a big hug and I understand it might be too much for him to take in.
"Thank you. For everything." He slowly gave me a hug back. The rest of the gang regrouped and we all came together. Villain kids and Auradon kids in one big dance. This is what I envisioned when I came to Auradon two worlds coming together despite their differences and coming together as one. Because it doesn't matter how different we are that just makes every single one of us beautiful and unique and just coming together with the same dream and just being ourselves. Now that's a dream come true for me.
"We know that it can be the start
To bring about the difference that we need
I promise we can work this out
I promise we can see it through
Don't you know it's up to me
It's up to me and you?
We gotta be bold
We gotta be brave
We gotta be free
We gotta get loud
Making that change
You gotta believe
We'll look deep inside
And we'll rise up and shine
We can be bold
We can be brave
Let everyone see
It starts with you and me
It starts with you and me
It starts with you and me"
Mal grabbed my hand after we splashed her and Ben when they were about to kiss and we all ran up to Ben's parents. I was in front of Belle and the Beast themselves. I looked at them and gave them my best smile and curtsied. They both laughed to themselves and grabbed me in for a group hug. I was so surprised. I didn't expect the to accept me just like that. "Welcome to Auradon."
"Welcome to the family honey." said Belle. I was almost about to cry but then Ben started to shake off the water that was on him like a dog. I looked out at the Isle just when the fireworks started. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to bring the change we need." said Mal as she put her hand on my shoulder. I smiled and thought about how Mal crowned me with her tiara. I looked at my red ribbon and took it off my wrist. I tied it on Mal's hair putting my signature ribbon on her. We both hugged out our love for each other.
I know now that dreams can come true you just need some belief in yourself and others to help make them come true or in my case a lot of belief but finally I'm living the life I dreamt of living. I mean I'm the Royal Friendship Advisor for the new kids coming in to Auradon I'm even one of Mal's lady in waiting with Evie. Dizzy is also enjoying her life at Auradon I mean hey she's finally putting her talents to good use working as a stylist for Evie's fashion line. Dizzy and I made up and we're back to being best friends again. We're even sharing a dorm together. It's like we imagined it to be. Uma disappeared but that won't mean we won't let our guard down. And I won't give up until Uma and my brother and all the other VK's living on the Isle sees that we're not our parents. That we can live the life we want to live. If it can happen to Mal and her gang and me then it can happen to anyone
And I almost forgot to mention because I was busy having so much fun and living my dream. You didn't think this was gonna be the end of the story, did you?
*So sorry for the late delay on this one. But I wanted to make sure Haven's story ended with a bang. Hopefully a Descendants 3 happens but for now I'll be making sure Haven's life is happy.
