"So, what is the plan?" Aurora looks at Philip.
"Ah..."
"You don't have a plan?"
"Well..." Philip sighed. "I'm beginning to think it's a bad one."
"Why?" Aurora frowned.
"Just listen to it. We surround them with love songs, happy married couples, lovers, all night, and assuming they already have some feelings for each other, they.. Admit them?"
"That's an awful plan Philip."
"Godmother!" Aurora pounces on her godmother.
"What beasty?" The fairy froze under the little queen's embrace.
"The dance is about to begin! You must dance!"
Aurora drags Maleficent to the edge of the dance floor before running off to speak with the musicians. "Mistress?" Diaval step up from behind Maleficent. She waited for him to continue. "The dancing doesn't start until after dinner, correct?" He cock his head at a sharp angle, even as man he still acted birdlike.
Maleficent sighed,"Beasty never could wait."
Diaval laughs,"True. May I have this dance?" He asks when the music starts.
"Yes." Diaval stands there for a bit. "Do you know how to dance?"
Diaval shakes his head, a slight shade of red coloring his cheeks. "No." He glares indignantly when Maleficent starts to laugh. "Mistress, what do you expect, I am a raven after all."
Maleficent points at Philip and Aurora gliding across the stone floor. "Copy Philip."
She loosely wraps her arms around Diaval's waist. "Mistress, I believe your arms are suppose to go on my shoulders." Diaval points at Aurora and Philip.
"Do you want to dance?" Maleficent glares down at him. He puts his arms on her shoulders. "Good." She smiles as they rock back and forth to the music.
"Mistress.."
"Yes."
Diaval turns his head towards the singer,"I think she just said 'You hold my heart in your hands'. What on earth is she talking about."
"It's figurative language Diaval, she's saying that person holds her "heart". Not her real one, that's she is in love."
Diaval shakes his head. "Why can't she just say that?'
"It sounds better."
Diaval sighs,"Being a raven is so much simpler." Maleficent frowns, did he not like being a human? "But if I were still a raven I would be dead." Diaval says in afterthought.
"Ah, Diaval, how talented you are at killing all the happiness and fun in the area." Maleficent sighed,"I do not want to dance anymore." With that she walked off.
Aurora runs up,"What did you do?!"
Diaval raises his hands in surrender,"I don't know!"
Aurora huffs,"Come." She pulls Diaval to the display of delicacies and drinks. She picks up a goblet of fizzing pinkness and a small plate of what appears to be berries in chocolate before shoving them at Diaval."Give her that and apologize right now."
Diaval sets the peace offering down. He shakes his head,"I did nothing wrong!"
Aurora gives him a deathly glare and says in a deep, no protesting voice, with the force of a queen,"Just do it."
Diaval shakes his head, picking up the drink and chocolates. "Where is she?"
"The balcony." Aurora pushes Diaval towards a pair of doors that must lead to the balcony. "Good luck!" She calls cheerfully.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading this! it delights me to read your reviews. I just want to let you know my updates well be very random as my free time just took a large hit, my best friend fell out of a tree, 25 ft or roughly 2.5 stories, luckily she is a live and is extremely lucky. Only shoulder damage at most, so far the doctors think one arm could be slightly longer than then the other, but I am going to be spending lots of time with her like i did today, trying to keep her active atleast mentally, next week i'm gonna make her walk cause i am biking over four miles just to see her! Hope you all enjoy the story!
