Harry pov:
It was now Saturday and Ben seemed less nervous and more happy about today.
"Okay, what's going on?" I asked when we walked off campus, classes were over for today.
"I need to tell you something which practically no one knows." Ben said and I nearly choked on the water which I was drinking.
"Oh-kay... Not sounding weird at all." I said and Ben gave me a nudge.
"I have a twinsister."
"Yea right." I said as I scoffed.
"No, I'm serious. Her name's Bella and she's returning to this kingdom in a few hours. She'll take my place during cottillion."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm giving her will sound crazy and selfish maybe... But I was thinking, what if we'd stick together like... for real... And when I'd still be the king..."
"I'd end up as king at some point as well..." I filled in and Ben looked at me.
"It's not like I wouldn't want you to or trust you to- I just though you wouldn't want to so I-"
"Ben, relax. It's your choice. Even if I'd have to change to stick with you. I would've... a little. But if you want to let this mysterious twinsister of you rule be my guest."
"Let me ask you this. Would've you want to be king?"
"Sounds like too much responsibility for an irresponsible guy like me." I reacted and Ben chuckled.
"Oh come on. You're not that bad."
I arched my eyebrow at him.
"I'll meet you later tonight."
"At cottillion?"
"Fine... I'll be there. But don't expect me to wear fancy shit."
"Not counting on it." Ben said with a smile and I kissed him before we went separate ways.

Ben pov:
I hugged Bella once she arrived.
"It's been way too long sis."
"Sure has been. Can I talk to you?"
"Of course."
"I'm not taking your place on the throne."
"What? But you-"
"Hear me out. Please."
"Oh-kay..."
"Your boyfriend nicked your phone and called me. He explained the situation better then you did."
I reached into my pockets and yea, my phone wasn't there.
"Harry..." I sissed with annoyance.
"Ben, he told me he didn't want to be the reason why you'd give up being the king." my sister said and she looked at me.
"He loves you more then anything. Look, during cottillion, you can announce my return. Because then you can have the celebration reason. But you're the king of Auradon. Alright?"
I looked at her and nodded once.

Harry pov:
This lady walked to me when this cottillion thing was about to start.
"Hi, I'm looking for Harry Hook?"
"Found him." I said.
"I'm Bella, Ben's twin."
"Oh, right. I hope you're not going to lecture me about stealing your brother's phone?"
"Actually I was glad you called. Ben told me some of the reason but you told me all of it."
"So 'soon to be queen' is it?"
"So 'Ben remains king' it'll be. I convinced him."
"Good. He shouldn't give it up for me anyway."
"And hey, maybe a pirate as the other king wouldn't be that bad."
"Yea... Maybe we should see first how far Ben and I are coming. We've only been dating for like two months."
"I got to go, my mom's going to kill me if I'd be late."
"I'll see you around?"
"I'm sure you will."
She hurried away and I smiled a little, mission accomplished. Ben was a good guy, but he shouldn't give up half his lifework for me. No way in hell.
I looked at the time. Half an hour to go.
I pulled the bandage off my wrist, revealing my 8th tattoo; saying 'my king' in fancy letters.

Ben pov:
So I was about to do the opening speech thingy when I wasn't sure anymore what to say.
"Hello everyone! Thank you all for coming here at cottillion! The circumstances are a bit different this year including the reasons. My twin sister Bella has returned, eventhough a lot of you didn't know she existed... Which is a shame."
Bella walked to me and stood besides me.
"Enough about me." she whispered in my ear and I looked towards Harry for just a second and I swallowed.
"But her return ain't the only reason for a celebration. Because after all we're all just people. But some people judge the others for multiple reasons. And it's time for a change. Because no one is normal and it doesn't matter. As long as you're yourself." I said and I walked to Harry.
He knew exactly what I was talking ahout and he kissed me gently on the lips.
"Woohoo!!!" someone (probably Carlos) yelled and Harry looked at me.
"I told you." he said softly and the party took the night away.

The end, another screwed up ending. Sorry!
