Arrival to Auradon
The limo stopped as Jay and Carlos fell out fighting over a piece of fabric. "OW! STOP! You got everything else! Why do you want whatever this is?" Carlos asked.
"Cause you want it!" Jay said.
"No! Give it to me! Ow! Let go!" Carlos said.
"We have an audience." Mal said as the boys stopped fighting.
"Just, uh, cleaning up." Jay said.
"Leave it like you found it." The pretty middle aged woman said in a sing song voice. "And by that just leave it." She said seriously.
Jay threw all the things he stole back into the limo then walked around Mal once he saw the other girl.
"Hello foxy. The names... Jay." Jay flirted.
"Welcome to Auradon Prep!" the woman interjected, as the girl only chuckled at his advancements. "I'm Fairy Godmother, Headmistress." She announced.
"The Fairy Godmother? As in Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo?" Mal asked.
"Bibbidi Bobbidi you know it." Fairy Godmother said as Bella smiled.
"I always wondered what it felt to be Cinderella when you appeared out of nowhere with that sparkly wand and warm smile... and that sparkly wand." Mal said.
"That was a long time ago," the Fairy Godmother smiled, "And as I always say, 'Don't focus on the past, or you'll miss the future'" she gestured with her hand, causing Bella to hold in a chuckle.
The boy and girl chose that moment to walk in front of the Fairy Godmother and speak up.
"It's so good to finally meet you all. I'm Ben." Ben introduced himself.
'Ben. fair enough.' Bella shrugged.
"Prince Benjamin. Soon to be king." Audrey corrected him with a fake grin.
"You had me at prince. My mom's a queen, which makes me a princess." Evie said dreamily.
"The evil queen has no royal status here and neither do you." Audrey said.
"This is Audrey-" Ben didn't seem to be invested in her right now.
"Princess Audrey. His girlfriend. Right, Bennyboo?" Audrey asked.
"Audrey, is it? A true princess doesn't put down others or flaunt her crown. Also as a princess such as yourself, I advise you to do more work on your royal families. We wouldn't want to start a political feud because someone was blinded by ignorance and didn't do their research." Bella said. Ben felt a smirk coming on, but did his best to hide it.
'Not only is her voice beautiful, but she actually put Audrey in her place. I wonder what her name is.' He thought in awe.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Audrey sassed. Ben looked at the girl that spoke, waiting to find out the name of the mysterious beauty.
"Princess Bella of the Moors." Bella said while doing a curtsey.
"Ben and Audrey are going to show you all around and I'll see you tomorrow." Fairy godmother smiled.
"The doors of wisdom are never shut! But the library hours are from 8:00 to 11:00, and as we may have heard, I have a little things about curfews." She said, breaking up Ben and Audrey's hands in the process.
Honestly, Ben was distracted by Bella that he forgot he was even holding Audrey's hand. Once Fairy godmother and the marching band left, Ben came forward ready to greet them.
"it is so, so, so good to finally m-meet you," He went to shake Jay's hand, but stumbled over his words as he was punched in the chest.
He chucked nervously before moving on to shake Mal's hand and then Bella's. As they shook hands, she gave him a smile and a head tilt, both of which Ben found adorable. But there was more, something else that was there.
At first contact Ben felt a tingling sensation run down, from his hand to his shoulder, and from his shoulders down to his spine; it felt good and made Ben curious to get to know the girl before him.
"This is a momentous occasion and one I hope will go down in history... is that chocolate?" Ben said as he moved on to shake Carlos' hand and then Evie's.
"As the day our two peoples began to heal." He finished.
"Or the day you showed five peoples where the bathrooms are." Mal and Bella said in unison.
"A little bit over the top?" Ben cracked a smile at the girl.
"A little more than a little bit." Bella said with the same enthusiasm.
"Well, so much for my first impression." Ben said.
"Hey! You're Maleficent's daughters, aren't you? Yeah, you know what? I totally do not blame you for your mother trying to kill my parents and stuff. Oh, my mom's Aurora. Sleeping..." Audrey said.
"Beauty." Mal and Bella finished.
"Yeah, we've heard the name. You know and I totally DO NOT blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world, but my mother.. to their stupid christening." Mal smiled tightly.
"Water under the bridge?" Audrey asked with a fake smile.
"Totes!" Mal exclaimed. The two finished it off with fake laughter that showed how things really weren't under the bridge.
"Okay! How about a tour, yeah." Ben said as he clapped his hands together to break the tension with Audrey clinging to his arm.
'If she wanted to be an accessory, then she could've just asked. I'm sure she'd do good as a nice set of cute pink earrings or a pink and blue bracelet.' Bella thought.
"Auradon prep. Originally built over 300 years ago, and converted into a high school by my father when he became king." He announced as they walked through the courtyard.
They stopped at the Beast statue and watched how it transformed from a human into a beast when Ben clapped his hands. The sudden morphing frightened Carlos, who then screamed while jumping into Jay's arms.
"Carlos, it's ok. My father wanted his statue to morph from beast to man to remind us that anything's possible." Ben explained making Bella giggle.
"Does he shed much?" She asked.
"Yeah, mom won't let him on the couch." He said with a serious face but a joking voice making her laugh.
