Claudine's POV
The next morning, Ginny and I were given an order by our father: to spy on Maleficent and the others and listen in on what they were plotting.
Mom had sent me a pair of walkie talkies for my 13th birthday, and thank God they still work.
Today was the day of Ben's coronation and Dad had a feeling something bad would happen. It was for that reason he decided to ask us to eavesdrop with the walkie talkies.
"Girls." Dad had said. "You'll only need one of the walkie talkies. I'll use the other. Do you know how they work?"
"Yes, daddy. We do." Ginny had replied.
"That's good." Our father smiled at us. "Ginny, go wait outside."
Ginny nodded, took a walkie talkie and ran outside.
"Dad, do you wish we were in Auradon? Do you miss Mama?" I asked.
When we were with my Dad, my Mom, Esmeralda, was a sensitive topic.
Dad sighed. "Yes, Sweet Pea. I miss your mother very much. I'm glad she showed me some compassion."
"But what did you see in Mama?"
"The minute I saw her in that stunning red dress at the Festival of Fools, I felt something I'd never felt before. That led me to believe she was an unholy demon sent to tempt me. That's why I wanted to either burn your mother at the stake or have her marry me and be my love forever."
"I understand you hated gypsies in the past, and I'm slightly sure you still do. Dad, can you please tell me why you hated gypsies?" I asked.
At first I expected Dad to shove me aside and yell at me to go to my room, but instead, he placed his hands on my shoulders before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a tight hug. "Sweet Pea, what caused my hatred of gypsies left a terrible impression on me. Are you sure you can handle something like this?"
"Yes, Daddy. I can handle it." I replied.
"Ginny, can you come back in?" Dad called.
Ginny ran back in. "What is it, Paps?"
"I need to talk to you and Claudine about something." Dad told my half-sister. Dad, Ginny and I went upstairs to mine and Ginny's room. We sat down on the bed. Dad put his arm around me.
"Girls, I've decided to tell you about what caused my hatred of gypsies." Dad said. "Do you girls remember telling me about your nightmare about the Lamia?"
"Yes." Ginny replied with a shiver.
"It happened when I was fifteen and your Uncle Jehan was ten. I was with your Aunt Marta, who was seventeen at the time. Our parents were dead and it was just the three of us. Your Aunt accidentally angered a few gypsies. One of them grabbed her necklace and placed the curse of the Lamia on it. For three days the Lamia tormented your Aunt. Your Uncle and I didn't know what to do."
"What happened on the third day?" Ginny asked.
"The Lamia came and dragged your Aunt into Hell." Dad finished.
I gasped and Ginny covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh, that's sad."
"And after that happened, I vowed to get rid of every last gypsy alive." Dad finished.
I frowned. I had no idea that Dad wanted revenge for what happened to my Aunt. He must have loved her dearly.
Ginny sighed. "I'm so sorry."
Now upon knowing all of this, yes, mine and Ginny's father is Judge Claude Frollo.
"Ginny, why don't you and Claudine go eavesdrop on Maleficent and the others."
"But Paps-" Ginny began.
"I SAID NOW, GINNY!"
Ginny gasped in fear. "Yes, father."
Dad hardly ever yelled at us, but when he did, Ginny would obey immediately.
The minute we got to Bargain Castle, we quietly made our way to an empty room, which we shut and locked. There was a see-through square on the floor, which we got down on our knees to peer through. We saw Maleficent, Cruella, Jafar and the Evil Queen watching the Coronation on TV. Snow White was the reporter.
"At last, here we are, broadcasting live from the coronation, where Prince Benjamin will soon be crowned king! I'm Snow White, bringing you up to the second coverage of who is the fairest of them all." Snow White's voice came through the TV.
We saw the Evil Queen throw popcorn at the TV. Obviously, she still hates Snow White.
"'I'm Snow White'," The Evil Queen said mockingly. "Who are you kidding? She's definitely had work done."
Maleficent rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Oh, and Fairy Godmother's looking radiant!" The screen showed the Fairy Godmother and a girl that looked like her daughter. "But what is happening with Jane's hair?"
Maleficent passed the bowl of popcorn to Jafar.
"And there's Fairy Godmother's wand!"
The Fairy Godmother pulled the cover off the spell jar to reveal her wand.
Maleficent got closer to the TV. "I want that wand!"
"Do you?" Cruella snarked. "Haven't heard."
Maleficent turned to glare at Cruella.
The screen then showed Ben and Mal's carriage. "Oh, and here comes Ben now!"
Ginny and I retreated away from the glass square and turned on the walkie-talkie.
"Dad, Ginny and I overheard Maleficent and the others. They want to get the Fairy Godmother's wand so they can get out of here."
"I figured as much, Claudine." Dad's voice came through the speaker. "I just needed my suspicions confirmed."
Mal's POV
It was almost time. I was so nervous. However, one part of me started to have second thoughts about the taking over Auradon plot.
I looked down at the box in my lap. It contained the brownie that would break the love spell.
As if he sensed my nervousness, Ben squeezed my hand reassuringly.
"Don't be nervous. All you have to do is sit there and look beautiful. No problem there."
"Thank you." I replied with a smile.
"Mal, would you wear my ring?"
"Um..." I hesitated. "Not now. I think it would probably just fall right off of me." Now was the time to give him the brownie. "I have something for you."
Ben smiled. "For me?"
"Yeah." I replied. "It's just for later, when you need strength. Some carbs to keep up your energy."
Ben opened the box. "Always thinking." He noted. "But I can't wait." He popped the brownie in his mouth.
"No!" I cried.
"This is really good," He said. Was he talking with food in his mouth?! Gross...
"Uh..."
"Mal?"
"Do you feel ok?"
"You bet." Ben replied.
"Would you say that you're still in... that... that you have very strong feelings for me?" I stuttered.
Ben shrugged. "I'm not sure. I mean, let's give the anti-love potion a few minutes to take effect."
I nodded. "Ok." Wait, what?! He knew?! "What? What? You knew?"
Ben laughed. "That you spelled me? Yeah. Yeah, I knew."
"I'm... I can explain myself." I stuttered again.
"No, look, It's fine. I mean, you had a crush on me. I was with Audrey. You didn't trust that it could happen on its own. Am I right?"
That would do. "Yes. You're so right. So, then, how long have you known?"
"Since our first date. Your spell washed away in the Enchanted Lake."
I deadpanned. "So then what? You've just been... Faking it since then?"
Ben took my hand, put his ring on my finger, and kissed it. "I haven't been faking anything."
I couldn't help but smile as we pulled up to the cathedral. We walked up the stairs hand-in-hand to Ben's parents.
I turned to King Adam. "About the other day, I just..."
"I told Ben this wasn't going to be easy." King Adam reassured me.
Ben looked his father in the eye. "You also taught me that a king has to believe in himself. Even when it isn't easy."
King Adam was surprised. "I did? I... how very wise of me."
Queen Belle took her son's hands. "Ben, we are very proud of you. You keep listening to your heart."
Ben smiled at his mother. "Thanks, mom."
King Adam put a hand on his son's shoulder. "You're gonna make a fine king."
Ben took my hand as his parents walked off. "Wish me luck."
An escort walked me to the side so Ben could enter the cathedral.
Christine's POV
The choir sang to prepare for Ben's arrival. I was dressed in a strapless mint green gown that had a multicolored jewel belt.
Eleanor was wearing an ice blue strapless lace and tulle gown that poofed out slightly.
Jay was holding my cousin's hand. The five of us were in the balcony, waiting for the plan to be executed.
Jay looked to Evie, who looked to Carlos, who was holding Dude in one arm. Our gazes met and he squeezed my hand reassuringly.
Two guards opened the doors, and Ben entered. We all bowed and curtseyed as he passed by.
Mal was looking tense. I couldn't blame her, though!
Ben shot Mal a reassuring smile, and she smiled back.
Claudine's POV
"Don't blow it, kiddo." I heard Maleficent say.
Eleanor's POV
The Fairy Godmother took off King Adam's crown. Ben knelt down on his knees as the Fairy Godmother put the crown on his head.
King Adam took the lid off the spell jar. I could see the worry on Mal's face. She looked up at us.
Queen Belle handed the wand to the Fairy Godmother.
"Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?"
Ginny's POV
"Oh, grab the thing already!" Maleficent yelled at the TV.
I shot my half-sister a deadpan face.
Eleanor's POV
"I do solemnly swear." Ben replied.
The Fairy Godmother tapped Ben with the wand. "Then it is my honor and my joy to bless our new king."
Suddenly, someone grabbed the wand. A blast of white energy shot out from the edge.
Claudine's POV
The island shook as if an earthquake hit it.
"Mal must have grabbed the wand. Or maybe it was someone else." Ginny realized. "The barrier is broken."
"Darlings, did you feel that?" Dad's voice came through the speaker.
"Yes we did."
I then saw green smoke head towards Auradon. Maleficent had escaped.
Eleanor's POV
"Child, what are you doing?!" Yelled the Fairy Godmother. Jane had taken the wand!
"If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself!" Jane yelled back, trying to control the wand as it sprayed sparks everywhere. "Bibbidi... Bobbidi... Boo!"
Ben moved to stand protectively in front of Mal.
"Take cover!" Adam yelled.
Mal ran up to snatch the wand from Jane.
"Careful, Mal!" Queen Belle cried.
Mal took the wand. Evie, Carlos, Jay, Christine and I ran down to meet up with Mal. Jane ran back to her mother.
"Mal, give me the wand." Ben held out his hand.
"Stand back..." Mal pleaded.
We opened the doors and ran up to Mal.
"It's ok." Ben reassured her.
"Ben, I said stand back!" Mal cried.
"I told you so!" Audrey yelled before she was held back by her parents and grandmother. Mal pointed the wand at them threateningly.
"CHRISTINE ALEXANDRA BJORGMAN, GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Uncle Kristoff.
"Let's go." Said Carlos.
"Revenge time, right love?" Jay turned to me. I nodded.
"This is payback for taking my father and brother from me!" I yelled. "He wasn't there to hear and see my first words and steps."
"You really wanna do this..." Ben's voice was laced with heartbreak.
"We have no choice, Ben! Our parents..."
"Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours."
Mal looked to Ben's parents and the Fairy Godmother. They all had pleading looks in their eyes.
"I think I wanna be good..."
Ben smiled at his girlfriend. "You are good."
"How do you know that?!" Mal cried out.
"Because... Because I'm listening to my heart." Ben replied.
Mal sighed. "I want to listen to my heart, too. And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents." She turned to Jay. "I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy. And so does Eleanor!"
Jay wrapped an arm around my waist and I leaned into him. I heard 'aww's from the crowd and my mother.
Mal turned to Carlos. "And you, Christine and scratching dude's belly make you happy. Who would've thought?"
Carlos pecked my cousin's cheek.
Mal then turned to Evie. "And Evie... You do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart. And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy."
She turned to Christine and I. "Christine, Carlos makes you happy. And so does singing. Eleanor, Jay makes you happy. Cheerleading, using your powers for good, and singing for you as well! They make you happy."
Christine and I nodded.
A tear fell down Mal's cheek. "I want to go to school. And be with Ben." Mal turned to Ben. "Because Ben makes me really happy." She held up her hand that had the ring on her finger. She turned back to us. "Us being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things." She held out her fist. "I choose good, you guys!"
The Fairy Godmother began to cry tears of joy. She put a hand to her mouth.
Jay put his fist in. "I choose good too."
I put my fist in. "Same. I don't feel up for revenge anymore."
Christine put in her fist. "I agree with my cousin. Good."
"I choose good." Evie put in her fist. We were all waiting on Carlos.
"So, just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be? Because they're gonna be really, really mad."
Everyone laughed.
"Your parents can't reach you here." Ben reassured Carlos.
Carlos smiled before putting in his fist. "Ok, then. Good."
Ben joined the circle and put in his fist. Mal leaned her head on his shoulder.
Just then, we were all broken apart by a crash of thunder. Green smoke entered and took the shape of Maleficent. How did she get here?! Oh, yeah, now I remember. The wand must have broken a hole in the barrier.
"I'm baaaaaack!" Maleficent shouted dramatically.
"It can't be..." Mal gasped. She then sighed, bored. "Go away, mother."
Maleficent laughed. "She's funny. Oh! I'm so... you're very funny. Here. Wand me. Chop-chop."
"No!" Ben cried.
Mal threw the wand to the Fairy Godmother. She waved it, preparing to stop Maleficent.
"Bibbidi, Bobbidi..."
"Boo!" Maleficent shouted mockingly. She raised her scepter and cast a spell. Everyone was frozen except for the four villain kids, and surprisingly, Christine and I.
"Psych." Maleficent snickered. She went to mess with Ben's father's glasses. "Ooh. Ooh, in another time, in another time." She sang a little bit before snatching the wand out of the frozen Fairy Godmother's hand. "Oh. Oh, no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs. Where shall we begin?" She turned to face Mal and pointed the wand at her. "I know. Why don't we start by getting rid of this?" The ring flew off of Mal's finger and onto the wand. "Perfect fit!" She ducked under the Fairy Godmother's arm. "Oh, excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me. The horns, the horns!"
Mal started to cry as she stared at where the ring had once been.
"Aw... Falling in love is weak..." Maleficent turned Ben's head and knocked his crown sideways. "And ridiculous. It's not what you want."
"You don't know what I want!" Mal cried out. "Mom, have you ever once asked me what I want? I'm not you!"
"Oh, obviously. I've had years and years and years and... Years of practice being evil. You'll get there."
"No, I will not!" Mal yelled defiantly. "And I really wish that you had never gotten there yourself. Love is not weak or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing."
Now Maleficent was mad. "I know one thing, young lady. You have no room for love in your life!"
Mal glared and held out her hand. "And now I command, wand to my hand!" The wand flew out of Maleficent's hand and into Mal's. "Ha! It worked!"
Maleficent started pacing. "I hardly think so. Frankly, this is tedious and very immature. Give me the wand. Give me the wand!"
"Hold on, Mal. Maybe good really is more powerful than evil." Carlos realized, stepping up to Mal hand in hand with Christine.
Maleficent scoffed. "Oh, please! You're killing me. Arf!" Dude ran over to Maleficent and jumped onto her shoulder. "Oh! Oh, the breath! The breath! Get off me!"
Jay ran up and grabbed onto the scepter. Maleficent stared him down and touched his bicep. "Ooh! Your lady's really lucky, and Gaston should be jealous." She then flicked him onto the floor. "Enough! You all will regret this!"
Maleficent then transformed into a dragon. She blew fire at Jay, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him away. We ran behind a pillar before coming out. I shot a blast of ice at Maleficent, but she shook it off.
"Come on. Run, Jay, Eleanor, run!" Carlos yelled.
"Eleanor!" Christine screamed.
Jay and I ran for our lives. We made it behind the others as Evie pulled out her mirror. "Magic mirror, shine your bright light!"
The light disoriented Maleficent, and she landed on the floor.
"Get behind me, E!" Mal pushed Evie behind her to confront her mother. "Leave my friends alone!"
Maleficent stared her daughter down.
"This is between you and me, mother."
Maleficent's eyes glowed green, and so did Mal's.
"The strength of evil is good as none, when stands before six hearts as one." Mal chanted. Maleficent didn't back down. She chanted that two more times, before Maleficent let out a shriek and seemed to disappear.
The Fairy Godmother unfroze. We all ran over to her.
"What just happened?" Evie asked.
"I have no idea." Mal replied.
"Did you do it?" Questioned Christine.
"I don't know." Mal said.
"No, no, no, no. Your mother did." Said the Fairy Godmother. "She shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why it's so itty-bitty."
I looked down and gasped. Mal had turned her mother into a tiny lizard!
Mal and the Fairy Godmother knelt down.
"Is she gonna be like that forever?" Mal asked.
"Well, forever is a long time." The Fairy Godmother replied. "You learned to love. So can she."
Mal handed the Fairy Godmother her wand. "I believe this belongs to you."
The Fairy Godmother gave Mal back her ring. "And I believe this belongs to you." Mal put the ring back on her finger.
"You all have earned yourselves an "A" in goodness class." The Fairy Godmother smiled at Christine and the Villain Kids. We all laughed. She then waved her wand, unfreezing everyone. "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!"
Ben roared like the beast his father once was, and ran over to Mal.
"Ben! Ok..." She patted his chest. "Oh! We kinda got this all wrapped up here."
Ben then picked up Mal and spun her in the air.
"Next time, I rescue you, ok?"
Mal giggled. "Yeah. Let's not let there be a next time, okay?" Ben pulled Mal into a tight embrace.
"Awww..." Christine cooed.
Carlos laughed before pecking my cousin's lips.
"Hey!" Christine laughed.
Mal adjusted Ben's crown. "I will be right back."
Mal's POV
I had to set things right with Jane. I went over to the Fairy Godmother, who was reprimanding her.
"I love you. But you are on a major time-out."
I put a hand on the Fairy Godmother's shoulder. "Don't be too hard on Jane. I was the one who put all that crazy stuff in her head." I then held Jane's hand with my other. "You are beautiful... Inside and out. Your mom got that right."
Jane smiled. "I guess I did get pretty lucky in the mother department."
"Yeah, I guess so." I replied. The Fairy Godmother then walked off with Jane.
Audrey then walked up to me. I curtseyed to her, and she curtseyed back. Her parents, Phillip and Aurora, looked on with smiles. So did her grandmother.
Eleanor and Christine walked over. Audrey sighed.
"Christine, Eleanor, I apologize to both of you. You were right. Can we be friends again?"
Christine and Eleanor hugged Audrey.
Christine's POV
Mom and Dad walked over to me.
"Christine," Dad put a hand on my shoulder. "You were right about that boy Carlos. I'm so sorry."
I embraced my father before pulling my mother into the hug. "I forgive you, Dad."
We pulled away and Dad turned to Carlos. "Now listen, Carlos. You take GOOD care of my daughter, got it?"
"Yes, Mr. Bjorgman."
"Call me Kristoff." Dad patted Carlos on the shoulder.
Eleanor's POV
After my cousin and I hugged Audrey, Christine went over to her parents and Carlos, while I went over to Jay.
"Eleanor, promise me you won't try anything risky."
I smiled. "Jay, I won't."
He then pulled me into a passionate kiss.
When we pulled back, we joined everyone.
"Hey!" Mal yelled at an attendant who put the spell jar over Maleficent. "Careful! That's my mom!"
We all wrapped our arms around each other.
"Let's get this party started!" Jay whooped.
"Ohayohay, hey!" We all yelled.
Nighttime had fallen, and we were having a dance party at the castle.
Mal: Oh, yeah! Oh yeah!
Evie: Let's set it off! Oh yeah!
Mal: You can make it happen!
Eleanor, Christine and Evie: Ohayohay, hey!
Ben: Kings and Queens, it's our time to rise, write the book story of our lives, this is us taking back the night.
Eleanor, Christine and Evie: Ohayohay, hey!
Mal skipped over to dance with Ben.
Mal: Break the spell, we were born this way. Be yourself, forget the DNA. Everybody raise your hands and say
Everyone: Ohayohay, hey!
Doug and Evie: Sound the alarm, get on your feet. Let's set it off and rock this beat. Dance till your heart is wild and free.
Everyone: Ooh, Oh, Oh!
Doug and Evie: Feeling the power, let it all out. Like what you see in the mirror, shout. We got the keys, the kingdom's ours.
Everyone: Ooh, Oh, Oh. Ohay, Ohay Hey! Let's set it off! Oh yeah (oh, yeah) Start a chain reaction and never let it stop! Let's set it off, oh yeah (oh, yeah) You can make it happen with everything you got! Let's set it off! Get ready, set it off! (Come on), We got to set it off! (On the right) Get ready, set it off! (To the left) We got to set it off! Ohay Ohay Hey!
Christine was sitting on a bench. Carlos and Jay went to escort her to the stage. Jay sat down on the stairs while Carlos went to dance with Christine.
Carlos and Jay: Yo! It's time to set this thing off! Let's make it happen now. I'll make my own future, ignore the rumors! Show 'em my passion sound. They all told me I should back down, judgin' me 'cause of my background, thinking 'bout changing my path now! Nah, I ain't goin' out like that now!
I skipped up to Jay and pulled him up to dance.
Eleanor: Feeling the power, let it all out. Like what you see in the mirror, shout.
Jay: We got the keys, the kingdom's ours.
Everyone: Ooh, Oh, Oh!
Evie: Oh yeah!
Everyone: Let's set it off! Oh yeah (Let's set this off!) Start a chain reaction, and never let it stop! Let's set it off! (Let's set this off!) Oh yeah (Let's set this off!) You can make it happen with everything you got! Let's set it off! Get ready, set it off! (Come on), We got to set it off! (That's right!) Get ready, set it off! (To the left) We got to set it off! Get ready, set it off! We got to set it off! Get ready to set it off! Come on!
Chad: 3, 2, 1, Uh!
Ben and Mal went up to the balcony while everyone had a little dance break.
"Eleanor, there's something I've been wanting to do."
"Jay, are you saying...?"
"Yes."
Everyone: Ooh yeah! Let's set it off! Oh yeah (Let's set this off!) Start a chain reaction, and never let it stop! Let's set it off! (Let's set this off!) Oh yeah (Let's set this off!) You can make it happen with everything you got! Let's set it off! Get ready, set it off! (Come on), We got to set it off! Get ready, set it off! We got to set it off!
Ben and Mal were about to kiss, but the fireworks interrupted them.
Sexual Content ahead! Skip now if you are uncomfortable!
Jay held me within his embrace and whisked me off, licking and sucking at my neck.
Celine decided to stay with Christine and Lonnie tonight because we had told her what we were going to do.
We entered my dorm room and Jay closed and locked the door. He let me out of his arms and I walked over to the curtains and closed them.
Jay's arms were around my waist again. "Ready, my snow princess?" His voice vibrated on my skin. I felt the warmth of his chest against my body. He had taken off his leather jacket.
"As I'll ever be." I replied very softly. I leaned into Jay's muscular chest and let my eyes fall closed. He kissed my neck and whispered seductive words to me.
Snickering, I pushed Jay onto the bed and I was on top of him. I laughed, celebrating my victory, but it wasn't for long. Jay tickled me and I rolled off of him laughing hysterically. Now he was the one on top.
He looked down at me with a smirk. "Who's the victor now?" He teased, pulling the tie out of his hair, letting it down.
I smiled at him, impressed that he managed to get me off of him.
Jay leaned down to kiss me. I feverishly kissed him in return. It soon turned into a French kiss and I was taking off Jay's leather jeans and Jay my dress.
"Like what you see?" Jay asked when he saw me looking at his bare chest.
I blushed and smiled serenely. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I?"
Jay pushed me back onto the bed, straddling me again. I traced his abs and he ran his hands over my pale face.
He then surprised me by stopping. "Hey, why did you stop?" I asked.
I suddenly felt the back of his hand run down my side until he found my sensitive spot. He traced that spot with his fingertips and I arched my back, letting a moan escape my lips.
"Jay…" I muttered through my gasps and giggles. "I want you."
"Do you feel ready?" Jay asked, concern in his voice.
"Absolutely." I replied. "But I am a bit nervous about my powers flaring up. I don't want to hurt you." I slid out of his strong grip and walked to my drawer. I opened it and pulled out a pair of ice blue gloves. "My mother wore gloves to conceal her powers. Now I'm only going to wear these for circumstances like this." I pulled the gloves on.
"Do we need Hoopa to summon…You know, a con-" Jay began.
"No." I replied. "My period ended yesterday. I'm not gonna get pregnant."
"You're mine now." Jay nibbled on my ear.
"Think of me." I whispered as we finished undressing each other. "You said so yourself. I belong to you."
The minute Jay broke my virgin barrier, I let out a scream of agony. But he whispered soothingly into my ear and kissed me to distract me from the pain.
His powerful thrusts took me to a strange new world, one I never saw before. I felt like I weighed nothing at all.
"Come for me, Eleanor…" He whispered in my ear seductively.
I reached my peak, belting out my signature E6 note and giving it vibrato. Jay reached his last.
Sexual Content Ends Here
And in the end, we were both grinning. Jay had finally made love to me.
I collapsed on top of Jay. I rested my head on his chest and he placed his hand on mine. Our hearts were beating in perfect sync.
I pulled my gloves off and tossed them onto the floor. "That was amazing." I murmured.
"Sure was." Jay agreed.
And with that, Jay fell asleep with the girl he waited for his whole life, holding her tightly in his arms. I was that girl. The long wait was over.
And in the windowsill, the rose had finally burst into bloom.
Christine's POV
I was heading to my dorm room for the night. It had been a long day, with Maleficent and everything.
As I passed Eleanor's room, I heard cries coming from the other side of the door. I stopped, realizing what my cousin and Jay were doing. I gasped and covered my mouth.
"Oh my God..."
I then scampered off to my room as fast as I could in my heels.
Eleanor's POV
The next day, the families were back at Auradon Prep in the auditorium. The Fairy Godmother decided to host a small performance to celebrate the defeat of Maleficent.
The recital was going to start off with a duet between me and Jay.
The curtain opened and Jay entered from stage left. He was wearing the same leather jacket from Ben's coronation.
Jay: You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent… Silent… I have brought you; that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already succumbed to me, dropped all defenses; completely succumbed to me. Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. You've decided… Decided…
It was my cue. I was wearing a blue butterfly ballgown. I entered from stage right, looking dazed. As he came closer to me, Jay's voice became more seductive.
Jay: Past the point of no return… No backward glances. Our games of make believe are at an end. Past all thought of if or when. No use resisting. Abandon thought and let the dream descend…
Jay ran over to me from behind and firmly wrapped his arm around my chest, letting his hand rest on my shoulder. He pulled me into his body and I let out a few seduced gasps and squeaks as I closed my eyes.
Jay: What raging fire shall flood the soul, what rich desire unlocks its door, what sweet seduction lies before us…?
He let me go and took my hand as I walked with him.
Jay: Past the point of no return. The final threshold; what warm unspoken secrets will we learn… Beyond the point of no return…
It was my turn to sing. I hit the high notes perfectly.
Eleanor: You have brought me to that moment where words run dry… To that moment where speech disappears into silence… Silence… I have come here hardly knowing the reason why. In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent. Now I am here with you. No second thoughts. I've decided… Decided…
Jay and I began to climb our staircases, Jay's on the left and mine on the right.
Eleanor: Past the point of no return. No going back now. Our passion play has now at last begun. Past all thought of right or wrong. One final question: how long should we two wait before we're one? When will the blood begin to race, the sleeping bud burst into bloom, when will the flames at last consume us?
Jay and I made it to the top and we walked across the bridge to each other, me stopping halfway and Jay continuing to walk towards me.
Jay and Eleanor: Past the point of no return… The final threshold.
Jay was finally in front of me. He twirled me around before placing his hands on my waist and pressing my back against his chest. I closed my eyes.
Jay and Eleanor: The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn! We're past the point of no… Return.
The applause was huge. I could hear several 'Aww's from the crowd. Soon, Evie and the others, including the new student Aspen, joined us on stage. Morgan, Ally (Alice's daughter), Anxelin and her sister Ruby were dressed up as fish. Jay let go of me and we climbed down our staircases.
When we told Alex that we were going to perform 'Under the Sea', he, Melody and Eris were delighted.
The music started and we got to our places.

Boys: Under the sea.

Jay and Eleanor: Darling, it's better down where it's wetter. Take it from me. Up on the shore they work all day. Out in the sun they slave away, while we devoting full time to floating under the sea.
All but Jay and I, the boys and the girls went to the opposite side of the stage.
Evie: Down here all the fish is happy,

Everyone: Oh, no!

Carlos and Christine: Each little snail here knows how to wail here. That's why it's hotter under the water
Everyone: Ya we in luck here down in the muck here under the sea!
The audience burst into applause again as Jay kissed me once more. Balloons rained down onto the stage.
I have such a wonderful life. I have a loving family, a handsome boyfriend, a great school to go to, and even lots of friends! Things couldn't be better!
