Mallory The Sleeping Beauty Part 1
Previously on Descendants:
"As you wish, my queen." Lumiere said.
"Ella," Evie said. "why don't you take Carlistle with you to the banquet hall for lunchtime?"
"Okay, Mommy," Daniella said. "what did Missis Potts make for lunch today?"
"I made peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole grain wheat bread with creamy peanut butter for Ella and crunchy peanut butter for Carlistle," Missis Potts answered. "for the adults, I made turkey and tomado sandwiches, the king's favorite, also on whole grain wheat bread."
"Good, and we're also trying to take care of their teeth, so no junk food for dessert." Evie told Missis Potts.
"I know, Evie," Missis Potts said. "you must remember that I'm a mother too."
"That must be your family, Lonnie." Jay said, putting the bread away.
"Well, some things have been lifted from the Auradon Museum of Cultural History." Jay said in a pondering tone of voice.
"What things, Daddy?" Julian asked.
"Auntie Evie's magic mirror and Auntie Mal's spell book." Jay answered Julian.
"You know what you and Mommy have to do now, don't you, Daddy?" Julian asked.
"Lonnie Darling," Jay said. "we'd best be off to Castle Beast."
"We must tell King Ben and Queen Mal about the theft." Lonnie agreed.
"May I come too, Mommy?" Julian asked.
"Sorry, Jules," Lonnie said, calling Julian by his nickname. "Daddy and I need to go to Castle Beast on urgent royal business."
"Okay." Julian sighed.
"And while the two of you are gone," Mulan said to Lonnie. "Father and I would be glad to babysit Julian."
"Thanks, Mulan." Jay said as he and Lonnie departed out the front door.
"Jay and Lonnie are here to see you, King Ben." Cogsworth said.
"Is it urgent, Cogworth?" Ben asked.
"Yes it is, Sire." Cogsworth said to the king.
"Send them in." Ben said to Cogsworth.
"Straightaway, my king." Cogsworth said with a low bow.
"Hmmm, what was that all about?" Evie asked.
"Who knows, Evie." Doug answered.
"What's wrong, Jay? You look like you had just drunk some bad toadstool tea." Mal asked.
"Lonnie and I have some bad news for both you and Ben, Mal." Jay answered, sighing.
"Uh-oh, what is it?" Ben asked Jay.
Jay cleared his throat, "This isn't easy for me to say, your highness." he sighed.
"Out with it, Jay!" Mal shouted, she was impatient.
"Mal!" Ben scolded sharply.
"So sorry, Ben really sorry for my impatience, Jay." Mal said.
"You are forgiven." Ben and Jay said to Mal.
"What is so important?" Ben asked Lonnie and Jay.
"Somebody broke into the Auradon Museum of Cultural History and stole some artifacts." Lonnie answered Ben just before Jay even got the chance to speak.
"What was stolen?" Mal asked Lonnie.
"Evie's magic mirror and your spell book, Queen Mal." Lonnie answered.
"Who would want my magic mirror?" Evie wondered out loud.
"And, who would want to steal my spellbook?" Mal asked.
"I don't know," the king said to Mal and Evie. "I just don't know."
"Little Mallory, my gift to you is the gift of beauty." Flora said with a wave of her wand.
Fauna was up next, "Tiny Mallory, my gift is the gift of happiness." she said, waving her wand.
"Sweet Mallory, my gift to you is the gift of performance art, that is acting, music, singing, and dancing, all rolled up in one." Merryweather said, waving her wand.
"Lovely Mallory, my gift will be..." Fairy Godmother began, waving her own wand.
"Maddy," the Queen of Auradon shouted. "what are you and your rowdy pirate crew doing here at my daughter's christening?"
"Chad," Maddy asked. "would you do the honors and put the king down for a siesta so that I may bestow my gift upon Little Maleficent?"
"I have legally changed my full first name to Mallory," Mal exclaimed. "and you know it, Maddy!"
"What's wrong, Chad?" Maddy asked, she was irritated.
"I can't read the spell," Chad said to Maddy. "it's in Japanese!"

"It's over, Maddy," Jade said. "you and your pirate crew lose!"
"I think not," Maddy laughed. "for Princess Mallory will indeed grow in grace and beauty... beloved by all who know her... but upon sunset one week after her 15th birthday, she will prick her finger... on the spindle of a spinning wheel... and die!"
"Mallory!" Mal, Jay, Carlos, and Evie gasped in fright.
"Send Maddy, her family, and her entire pirate crew to the Isle of the Lost for all eternity!" Ben commanded.
"Princess Mallory, the gift I give to you," Fairy Godmother said. "is the gift of true love, you shall prick your finger, but instead of dying... you will fall into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by your true love."
"Thank you, Fairy Godmother," Ben said. "thank you for saving my little girl."
"Anytime, my king." Fairy Godmother said, curtsying.
Now on Descendants:
It had been almost 15 years since Queen Mallory Bertha had given birth to her daughter, Princess Mallory Floriane.
The gentle king decided to give his daughter the same first name her mother had changed hers to.
While Queen Mal decided to give her daughter the feminine variant of her father's middle name, Florian.
Since she was their only child, the princess had her father's hair color but her mother's eye color.
Ben found his daughter in the bedroom that used to be his bedroom as a boy.
Princess Mallory was packing her belongings for her journey to Auradon Prep.
"So, Mal," Ben asked his daughter. "are you all packed for your first day at Auradon Prep?"
"Almost, Father," the almost 15-year-old Princess Mallory said. "I just need to grab my book of sheet music for the keyboard as well as my electric keyboard."
The queen entered her daughter's bedroom.
"It hurts to let my baby go!" Queen Mallory sobbed bitterly, hugging Princess Mallory.
"Mother! I'm hardly a baby anymore! I'll be 15-years-old next week!" Princess Mallory said to the queen.
"You'll always be my baby, Mal." Queen Mal said to her daughter.
"I know," Princess Mal said to Queen Mal, her green eyes welling up with tears. "I'm just going to miss you and Father over my 15th birthday!"
"I know," Ben said to Mallory. "but Mother and I have to go to Northern Wei to sign a treaty."
"I wish I wasn't royalty." Princess Mal sighed.
Queen Mal sat next to her daughter on her daughter's bed, "Being royal can be hard at times, I should know." she said.
Princess Mallory moved a lock of her curly honey-brown hair away from her eyes, "You... know how I feel, Mom?" she asked.
"Indeed I do, Starshine." Queen Mal said to Princess Mal.
Over at the Turner residence, Freddie Facilier-Turner went into her almost 17-year-old son, Justin's bedroom to find him packing a trunk to go to Auradon Prep.
Justin was singing to the girl that he saw only in his dreams.
Justin: Every time I think I'm closer to the heart;
Of what it means to know just who I am;
I think I've finally found a better place to start;
But no one ever seems to understand;
I need to try to get to where you are;
Could it be you're not that far;
You're the voice I hear inside my head;
The reason that I'm singin';
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
You're the missing piece I need;
The song inside of me;
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say;
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday;
Where you are is where I wanna be;
Oh next to you... you next to me;
Oh! I need to find you;
You're the voice I hear inside my head;
The reason that I'm singin';
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
You're the missing piece I need;
The song inside of me;
I need to find you;
I gotta find you.
"Are you all set to go to Auradon Prep, Justin?" Freddie asked.
"Yes, Mom, I am." Justin answered.
"I heard the song you were singing just now," Freddie observed. "did you write it, Justin?"
"Yes I did, Mom," Justin answered. "it's for the girl from my dream."
A few hours later in a bedroom of one of the girls' dormitories at Auradon Prep, Mallory had put her clothes away and had set up her electric keyboard in a corner away from the other side of the room where her roommate would be sleeping.
Mallory set the framed picture of her mom and dad as well as the magic mirror that had once belonged to her paternal grandparents, King Adam and Queen Belle on her night table before sitting at her keyboard.
Mal sat at her keyboard and began to sing.
Mal: I've always been the kind of girl;
That hid my face;
So afraid to tell the world;
What I've got to say;
But I have this dream;
Right inside of me;
I'm gonna let it show it's time;
To let you know;
It's to let you know;
This is real;
This is me;
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now;
Gonna let the light;
Shine on me;
Now I've found who I am;
There's no way to hold it in;
No more hiding who I wanna be;
This is me.
A teenage girl with dark blue hair and dark brown eyes heard the song and entered the dorm bedroom with her luggage in hand.
"Hi, you must be my new roomie," Mal said. "I'm Princess Mallory Floriane, Mal to my friends, if I had any, who are you?"
"My name is Daniella, Ella to my friends," Daniella said to Mal. "by the way, are you related to King Benjamin Florian, Queen Mallory formerly Maleficent Bertha, King Adam, and Queen Belle?"
"My mother, my father, and my paternal grandparents respectively, I am also Maleficent's, the witch who cursed Queen Audrey's mother when she was born... well, I'm not proud of this... but I am her as well as Hades's granddaughter on my mom's side." Mallory sighed.
"It's rough being a grandchild of a villain, believe me," Daniella said to Mallory. "by the way, did you write that song you were singing?"
"Yes, I did." Mallory answered Daniella.
"Cool! Is there any more to it?" Daniella asked Mallory.
"I'm... working on it, it's a work in progress." Mallory confessed.
"You're so good at playing music and singing," Daniella said. "you should join me in the school band as well as try out for the school's chorus, if I could sing like you, maybe I'd try out for the chorus."
"Thanks, Ella," Mallory said. "I think I will try out for the band and the chorus."
"Anytime, Mal." Daniella said.
Coming up in chapter 5: Mallory The Sleeping Beauty Part 2:
Mallory: Do you know what it's like;
To feel so in the dark;
To dream about a life;
Where you're the shining star;
Even though it seems;
Like it's too far away;
I have to believe in myself;
It's the only way;
This is real;
This is me;
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now;
Gonna let the light;
Shine on me;
Now I've found who I am;
There's no way to hold it in;
No more hiding who I wanna be;
This is me.
"Justin! Hey! Justin," Julian shouted. "are you all right?"
"It's that voice," Justin answered Julian. "I can't get it out of my head."
"Voice? What voice?" Julian asked Justin.
"It's a mystery, Julian," Justin answered. "I don't know."
"Oh my gosh! Mad Maddy!" Carlistle exclaimed.
"Oh no! Where's Mallory?" Julian exclaimed.
"We shouldn't have left her alone! Mal!" Daniella exclaimed.
"Touch the spindle! Touch it I say!" Mad Maddy commanded Mallory.
"No! Mal! Don't touch anything!" Julian, Carlistle, and Daniella called in terrified unison.
