CHAPTER EIGHT- Almost time for the Ball

Colette walked in first in a gold ball gown with a pleated skirt, with a simple diamond necklace. Her brunette hair was curled and lay to one side. Her arm was locked with Liam's who donned an ivory and gold princely outfit. Oliver walked in right behind them with a crimson uniform on, and a single rose in his hand. Kendra waked in last in a flowing sea green A-line gown, a diamond tiara placed gently on her head. Her blonde hair was in loose curls resting on her shoulders.

"This dress is crushing all of my internal organs!" Kendra was struggling with the corset of her dress.

"Like mother like daughter, eh Swan?" Killian glanced at Emma.

Killian and Emma pulled Liam and Kendra in and gave them each hugs. Belle was embracing her daughter, stroking her cheek. Oliver had given his mother the rose that he had brought in.

"For good luck, mom."

Regina kissed her son on the forehead and gave him a big hug.

"Please tell me your sword is not under your dress Kendra," Liam remarked.

"It is the only shred of dignity I have in this torture device they call a dress."

Killian and Emma just laughed at how much Kendra was like her father.

"So, everyone just act natural at the ball, dance, and have fun, I will give a signal when it is time to head up to the library," Oliver explained and then he rushed off to go take his post.

"Let's get everyone outside so no one gets suspicious!" Colette motioned everyone out the door. "Follow Liam, he knows the secret passages out of this castle like no one else. We use them to sneak out all the t-…never mind, forget I said that, just follow him."

"Maybe you do have a little pirate in you after all, mate!" Killian gently slapped his son on the back.

Right outside of Kendra's room Liam pulled on a lamp and the wall opened up.

"This will lead you right out into the courtyard."

"We will meet you inside, since grandma and grandpa expect all of us to make a grand entrance. On your way out remember to, ahem, think of some more creative and original code names. I don't think Princess Leia and Prince Charles are going to sail this time around," Kendra teased.
