Hey guys, I hope you like where I am going with this tour. There are so many twists and turns I can't wait to share with you; as you can tell the number of chapters for each constituency is going to change as we go through Auradon together. Anyway let's jump straight back into Neverland! Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
After me and Ben sat for another hour cuddling and aimlessly talking about anything that came to our minds we then went and got changed. We had been told by King Peter that it wouldn't be very long before we were arriving in Neverland and we all wanted to be ready for our arrival.
I changed into a smart, dark purple skirt with light purple blouse and a pair of dark purple heels. I also tied my hair into a bun and slid a silver dragon slide into the right hand side of the bun.
I smiled when I heard a knock on the door; and I turned around and looked in the floor length mirror.
"Come in!" I called and I watched as the door opened and Evie appeared.
"Hi" she said cheerily as she closed the door behind her.
"Hi" I said as I turned around and looked at her and noticed that she had changed into a light blue dress with red roses on the front.
"E, can I have your advice?" I asked her as I watched her sit down on my bed.
"Always" she smiled.
"Ok" I smiled.
"Do you think this looks ok?" I asked as I held my arms open to her.
"Or do you think I should put the waist coat on as well?" I asked as I nodded to the dark purple satin waistcoat that was hanging on the outside of my wardrobe.
"Hmm" Evie said as she looked from me to the waistcoat and back to me again.
"I think you should wear the waistcoat-" she started to explain.
"You are going to meet council members in the town hall; it looks more formal" she advised.
"Perfect" I said and I quickly walked up to my waistcoat and took it from its coat hanger. I then shrugged into it and quickly fastened the waistcoat; before I heard another knock on the door.
"Come in!" I called again and I grinned when I saw the door open and Ben appeared in the doorway.
"Hello" he said happily as his eyes landed on me.
"Hello" me and Evie said together; which made Ben chuckle.
"Mal" he said as he closed the door behind him.
"Yes Ben?" I smiled.
"We match" he laughed as he opened his arms to me and I looked down at his navy trousers, waistcoat and tie with light blue shirt and black shoes ensemble.
"It would appear so" I teased.
"Do you also want to borrow one of my hair slides as well" I laughed.
"Just so we match a little bit more?" I added.
"Hmph!" Ben puffed causing me and Evie to giggle.
"I'm only teasing Beastie" I advised as I walked up to him and I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I know; I'll let you off this once" he teased.
"Behave!" I exclaimed causing Evie to giggle.
"You always let me off" I laughed.
"I see" Ben joked.
"It would appear that I need to change things up a little bit" he said smugly.
"No!" I exclaimed as I tightened my arms around him.
"Hmm" he purred.
"I'll think about it" he teased as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Whatever Ben" I chuckled.
"See what I have to put up with Evie?" Ben laughed as he looked over to her.
"Yeah" she grinned.
"Hey!" I exclaimed as I pretended to look hurt.
"Don't start ganging up on me you too" I added.
"Hmm" Evie teased before she giggled at me.
"Hmph!" I puffed.
"Come here" Ben said and he pulled me tightly against him. I watched as Evie smiled at us both and I smiled back; I loved how me and Ben could wind each other up and it wouldn't mean anything. However I knew that this conversation would come up later when me and Ben were on our own; but I couldn't wait. I loved my playful Beast; and I couldn't wait to share a special moment later on with him.
After me, Ben and Evie had a long conversation about what we thought was going to happen during our time in Neverland; we then moved our conversation onto the outfits that Evie was designing for Queen Tinkerbelle. I loved how Evie was establishing herself the way she was; she deserved every success that came to her and we would all support her as a family.
Ben then led me and Evie to the main deck and we all grouped together again for another photo. The next few minutes afterwards we then all posted for funny photos before a member of staff signalled to King Peter and King Peter span around and grinned.
"We are nearly there guys!" he called as he ran up to the white metal railings.
"And on behalf of myself, Queen Tinkerbelle and all three of our constituencies we can't wait to show you the jewel in our crown" he continued as we all followed him and stood along the railings.
"And we hope that you enjoy yourselves" Queen Tinkerbelle said as she stood next to her husband.
"I am sure we will" Ben said as he wrapped his right arm around my waist.
"There it is folks!" King Peter shouted.
"NEVERLAND!" he roared before he jumped up on to the bottom railing and he made a loud rooster call.
"Peter darling" Queen Tinkerbelle said as she placed her hand on his waist in case he fell overboard.
"You know what I get like when we come home" King Peter pouted as he stepped down from the railing.
"I know baby" she replied fondly.
"I like seeing you happy" she added as she rested her head against his right shoulder. I watched as King Peter then wrapped his arms around her before he pressed a kiss against the top of her head.
I then felt Ben tighten his arms around me and I looked up at him; I watched as he opened his mouth to speak but he stopped when we all heard a loud rooster call in the distance.
King Peter then jumped out of his wife's arms and he did his famous rooster call again; and a large grin spread across his face as another rooster call sounded back.
"There!" King Peter as he grasped the railings eagerly in front of him before he pointed towards the port in the distance.
"Look!" he called and I saw that there was a large crowd waiting for us.
"There they are!" King Peter sang as he started dancing on the spot in excitement. He then jumped up back onto the railings and gave his rooster call again for the third time. I watched as the crowd waved and cheered at us; and I noted that I recognised certain dignitaries from previous meetings which started to soothe me.
I couldn't help but smile when I watched King Peter and his people rooster call back and forth a few more times as we got closer to the port.
"See how he gets when he comes home" I heard Queen Tinkerbelle say happily to Belle.
"There is nothing wrong with showing pride for the place you live" Belle smiled.
"Agreed" Adam grinned as he wrapped his arms around Belle's waist.
"You love going to Beast Castle" Belle smiled as she snuggled into Adam's chest.
"I do" Adam grinned.
"So do I" Belle smiled; I knew that Adam and Belle probably would want some time at Beast Castle after the tour. Every now and again they would go away for some time alone; before me and Ben left college they always made sure that Ben was ok, he had support or that Ben knew to ring them if he needed them.
"Well it is our second home" Adam smiled.
"Well first" he quickly amended.
"Yes" Belle agreed.
"That is where our story happened" she said happily.
"Yes" Adam replied. I then watched as Adam pressed a kiss to the top of Belle's head; before Belle snuggled into her husband's chest. I couldn't help but smile at the pair of them; Ben was so lucky to have the parents that he had. They loved him and supported him unconditionally. I looked up and smiled up at Ben and he grinned down at me before he pulled me into a hug. I snuggled into his chest for a few seconds before I turned my head and watched at the beautiful view of Neverland as we continued to make our way closer and closer to our next part of the tour.
"Here he is!" a tall, light brown haired man called as he walked quickly down the pier and towards us as we walked down the gangplank.
"Our gallant leader!" he added quickly.
"Nibs!" King Peter called as he ran towards him and he pulled Nibs into a tight embrace.
As we walked up to him I took in Sir Nib's appearance; he was wearing a light brown blazer, with medals on the front. He was wearing a black waistcoat, black tie and white shirt. I knew that Nibs played a big part in the running of Neverland as Nib's is King Peter's deputy and helps runs Neverland when King Peter is in Hook's Bay.
"Peter" Queen Tinkerbelle chuckled as she stepped next to King Peter and Nibs as a tall blonde haired woman wearing a dark brown dress stood next to Sir Nibs.
"Sorry my love" King Peter laughed as he and Sir Nibs broke apart and he turned and grinned at his wife.
"Tink!" Sir Nibs said as he stepped forward and pulled Queen Tinkerbelle into a hug.
"You shouldn't leave it so long" Sir Nibs said happily as he pulled away and smiled at Queen Tinkerbelle as King Peter hugged Sir Nibs's wife.
"I know" Queen Tinkerbelle smiled as King Peter and Sir Nibs's wife broke apart.
"Nadine!" Queen Tinkerbelle said happily as they both jumped into a hug.
"It has been too long" Dame Nadine said over her shoulder.
"I know; but you know how things can get" Queen Tinkerbelle replied.
"Yes" Dame Nadine answered.
"Things have been getting very busy here too" she advised as Queen Tinkerbelle stepped to one side and Ben stepped forward in front of Sir Nibs.
"Your Majesty" Sir Nib said.
"Sir Nibs" Ben answered as he and Sir Nibs bowed to each other.
"I hope you have found everything in Hook's Bay and Skull Rock to your satisfaction" Sir Nibs said as he and Ben stood up straight.
"I have" Ben replied with his famous regal smile.
"Good" Sir Nibs answered.
"Now it is the better part of our constituency's turn" Sir Nibs grinned.
"Hey!" King Peter said as he pretended to look hurt.
"What are you like?" Dame Nadine said as Ben stepped to one side and stepped in front of her.
"Dame Nadine; I take it you are well" Ben said as he bowed to Dame Nadine as she curtsied to him.
"I am thank you, and yourself your grace" Dame Nadine replied sincerely as they stood up straight.
"I am very well; thank you for taking time out of your busy day to see us" Ben answered.
"This is nothing Your Majesty; it is an honour to show you around Neverland. With my very mischievous husband" she answered and I watched as Sir Nibs winked at his wife, causing her to chuckle at him.
"My son and daughter will also meet us later on; they are making sure that everything is ready at the Town Hall" Sir Nibs advised.
"Thank you for arranging everything" Ben answered.
"You're very welcome" Sir Nibs smiled.
"Dame Mal" Sir Nibs said as Ben stepped to one side and stood next to King Peter and Queen Tinkerbelle.
"Sir Nibs" I said as I curtsied to him as he bowed to me.
"How are you?" Sir Nibs asked as we stood up straight.
"I trust you are well" he added.
"I am thank you; yourself?" I replied.
"I am very well; all the better for seeing you all" Sir Nibs replied so I chuckled at him.
"I am very eager to see what you have got to show us Sir Nibs" I said happily as I brushed some loose hair behind my right ear.
"Likewise Dame Mal" he said as I took a step to the left and I stood in front of Dame Nadine.
"Dame Nadine" I said as we both curtsied to each other.
"Dame Mal" she replied as we both stood up straight.
"Thank you for the honour of your audience in Neverland" she said warmly.
"Thank you" I answered.
"But I do believe the honour is all mine" I added with a large smile.
"How so?" she asked.
"I have the honour of coming to your home; you all have been gracious hosts. I am very grateful for the hospitality you have all shown myself and my family" I explained and I watched as Dame Nadine smiled at me.
"I see" she noted as she slowly looked me up and down.
"Your Majesty" Dame Nadine said as she looked over to Ben.
"Yes Dame Nadine" Ben answered.
"I see why you and your consort are a good match; you both have a forward way of thinking about things" she advised and I felt a twinge of relief hit me stomach.
"Yes" Ben said as looked at me fondly.
"That's my girl" Ben said and me and Ben both smiled lovingly at each other.
"If I may be as bold Your Majesty-" Dame Nadine started which made me and Ben both look at her.
"Of course" Ben replied.
"Please keep this one by your side" she said and I couldn't help but let a large grin spread across my face. It meant a great deal to me that this had just come from Dame Nadine; and she had just met me. I just had to make sure that she thought this by the time we left.
"You and your kingdom are going to need her" Dame Nadine added.
"That's the plan Dame Nadine" Ben teased as he grinned.
"Thank you" she replied and I took a step next to Ben so we could watch the rest of our party get greeted by Sir Nibs and Dame Nadine.
"Are you ok?" Ben muttered and I looked up at him.
"Of course" I answered back as I took a step closer to him and he wrapped his left arm around my waist.
"Why you ask?" I asked.
"What Dame Nadine has just said" he prompted.
"Oh" I said and I let my eyes widened in shock.
"That" I added.
"Ben she is only telling the truth; me and you belong together and I'm not going anywhere" I said lovingly and I watched as a large grin spread across his face.
"Good" he answered.
"And I am not going anywhere" he promised.
"Not without you anyway" he said happily as he inched his face closer to mine. I chuckled at him before I stood on my tip toes and pressed a brief but loving kiss against his lips.
After we were all greeted by Sir Nibs and Dame Nadine we were then all taken into two black limousines. I knew what was coming next; we were now traveling to Neverland City Hall where we were going to meet the rest of King Peter's Lost Boys. I also knew at the end of the trip as well; we were going to meet Wendy, John and Michael Darling. I was really looking forward to meeting them; as King Peter and Queen Tinkerbelle classed them as their extended family.
When we walked into the main meeting room I took in the view around me; there was a long table that was pushed slightly to the side. In front of us were the rest of King Peter's Lost Boy's waiting to greet us with their families.
First of all, we met Sir Nibs and Dame Nadine's children, Nathan and Natalie. They both welcomed us warmly after we entered the meeting room; they both had blonde hair and were both dressed smartly. Nathan was wearing a smart black suit with a dark green tie and waist coat with white shirt. Natalie was wearing a light green and smart knee length dress with smart green flats. Her hair was in a high ponytail and over her shoulder she was carrying a dark green small bag.
We then met Sir Tootles, he is a judge in the Neverland Court House; when I was talking to him all I could think about was the story that I heard about him. I had heard in History of Auradon that before Auradon was even a united kingdom, Queen Tinkerbelle told Sir Tootles that King Peter wanted him to kill Wendy Darling. However as I watched King Peter, Queen Tinkerbelle and Sir Tootles together I could see that this was all now in the past.
Sir Tootles had got married to a small, blonde haired woman; and they had three daughters together. They were called Tina, Terri and Tori; they all looked like their mother however they acted very much like their father.
We then moved onto meeting Lord Slightly, who owned a chain of music stores across the whole Auradon Kingdom. He makes his own instruments; mainly flutes from sticks on trees. He offered to show me some time and I accepted as I liked anything to do with my new found hobby – music.
I already knew about his story as well due to History class. He married Samantha Prescott, Duchess of Faraway. This in turn made him a Lord, however no children came from the marriage; and when the Duchess died ten years ago Lord Slightly decided that he didn't want to remarry.
We then met Sir Cubby, his wife Christine, his two sons (Christopher and Caleb) and their daughter Cassandra. They all had bright red hair and they were all dressed very smartly. He told me how things were going at his office block; he was doing really well. He was the director of Cubby Enterprises and he does business across the kingdom.
We then moved onto the twins, first of all Marmaduke, he married a woman called Marion and they have three daughters (Molly, Mavis, Marie) and one son (Matthew).
Finally we moved onto Binky, the second twin, just like Sir Cubby both twins were executives to their own company. Binky married a blonde haired woman called Bernadette, and they had two sons (Boris, Barry) and one daughter Beverley.
Both twins were wearing matching light grey suits with black waist coat and ties with white shirts. And funnily enough their wives and children were wearing matching clothes that were assorted in the colours light grey and black.
After we had chatted with everyone we then all sat down and had lunch together. I enjoyed talking to all of the Lost Boy's as they all had very interesting stories to tell. They were interested in our stories as well; and we told them bits and pieces but we didn't go too far into our stories. Thankfully Ben moved the subject on so the spot light was taken away from me, Evie, Jay and Carlos and I squeezed his right hand under the table to thank him. Yes I liked my new friends; but there were some stories that had to stay with me, Ben, Evie, Jay and Carlos.
We then all left Neverland Town Hall and we walked down Neverland Main Street. Tall buildings lined down the street and part of the pavement was cordoned off and the crowd was waving and cheering at us. I could also hear cars drive past us as people went about their business; however this didn't stop them from looking at us as they went past.
The street was arranged with many shops, starting with clothes shops, food shops, electronic shops, Lord Slighty's music shop and many more. However when we went into Lord Slighty's shop (Slighty's) he showed us how he made his flutes and he even played us a tune. He then gave us all a flute that he states that he had specially made for us all; I couldn't believe his generosity. I felt as if we were putting him out and I offered to pay for it but he quickly dismissed this.
After taking a full view of the Main Street we then all climbed back into the four limousines that were waiting for us all. We were now going to see Hangman's Tree; which held a lot of sentiment for King Peter, Queen Tinkerbelle and the Lost Boys. As I watched their eager faces I started to feel excited; I loved how open everyone was being with us all when they were showing us their homes. However a thought that came to me which made me feel a little bit guilty. I knew that I probably should be more open about the Isle but this wasn't the time nor the place for those types of conversations.
I looked out the window as Neverland Main Street flew from my sight as we quickly drove past; a series of thoughts started to fly around my head. How were people going to react when they saw the Isle? What were the Villains and other VK's currently thinking? How were they going to react when we visited them? And finally and most worrying of them all, how was my mother going to react to us all visiting her?
When we arrived at Hangman's Tree I noticed that it was only us, King Peter, Queen Tinkerbelle, the Lost Boys and their families that had come with us. They seemed very eager and proud to show us a very important part of their history; we got a very long and detailed tour which included many stories. As they each told their stories I smiled as I let my mind play them out; I could see why King Peter loved coming back home. He was very proud of his home; and as far as I was concerned - there was nothing wrong with that.
