20.

I STOOD beside Carlos, in the front of the crowd, waiting for the Royal Couple to arrive and get engaged already. Everyone was chattering and talking, wondering when the new kids would get here because no one knew that Ben was about to pop the question. Suddenly the cheers got louder, signalling they had appeared, finally.

The band started to play the song Ben had sung to Mal, on the day of their first date: 'Did I mention?', as the two waved to teens, interacting happily. They climbed up onto a platform and Fairy Godmother made sure Mal didn't just step over it and continue walking.

"Bibbidi-boppity, one, two, one, two. Can everybody hear me?" She said testing the microphone.

"Yes!" I shouted as Carlos laughed with me leaning back against him with his arms around me. Everyone else cheered in response.

Godmother handed Ben the mic and he thanked her. "Thank you, Fairy Godmother. What's up, Auradon? Thank you, thank you so much for coming out to welcome our new arrivals. They'll be here soon." We all clapped and whooped. "It worked out pretty well for the first few."

"Yeah, especially for you!" I heard Chad yell from the corner of my eye, then Audrey silence him.

"Mal, this is the exact spot we first met not so long ago. I feel like I've known you my whole life. But did I mention, I'm in love with you?" Ben said, quoting that song from just a few months ago. Doug began playing guitar as me, my boyfriend, Ben's parents, Jay, and a couple of students joined the two, vocalizing.

"I met this girl, that rocked my world like it's never been rocked. And now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop. I never thought that it could happen to guys like me, but now look at what you've done you got me down on my knee.." He sang slowly sinking onto one knee as Carlos took the mic from him. "Mal, it's you and me. It's you and me, forever. Will you marry me? Will you be my queen?"

He opened the box, revealing the ring I had helped him choose with E. She gasped covering her mouth with two hands and nodded. "Yes!"

Everyone heard them and roared with happiness as Ben stood up and slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed her. Mal walked off the stage to me and Evie, while Ben did the same with the guys.

"Did you two know!?" Mal asked us, wrapping us in a tight embrace.

"Everything." We both replied, letting go of each other.

"You are going to rock that crown." Evie complemented her in advance.

"Ok, so we've only done about a thousand sketches of your wedding dress." I giggled as we all held hands.

"And Belle's already planned an engagement party next week," E added, letting her go hug her parents-in-law.

Jay and Carlos came over with Ben once the new couple was done with the hugging and congratulating.

"All bow to Her Royal Majesty," Jay announced.

"Oh, yes, her Royal Purple-ness." Carlos mocked, bowing with us and taking off his hat.

"Silence, you annoying peasants." She smirked, waving a hand lazily by our faces.

"As you wish, my liege!" Jay was ridiculed and we all stood back up.

"Your Crankiness." My boyfriend scoffed, placing the hat on his head again and I shove his arm playfully as E did the same to Jay.

I looked back and saw that Audrey had pulled Mal away. Oh, right. Audrey was back, she was doing summer school though because she took time off.

I glanced over my shoulder and saw that Mal's limo had arrived, the one that we'd be driving to the Isle for the four kids. We all hopped in the car with Ben, and Jay driving. After a moment or so, I spoke up to Jay behind me in the front seat. "Do you even have a license?"
