Eleven - The Coronation

A/N: I came back and re-read this because I was bored and oh my god there are so many typos- so, anyway, that's why I've republished it. To fix the typos. Okay byeeee.

ALI

Jay and I sit side-by-side in a carriage, just before Ben and Mal's. I'm dressed in a lavender suit with a white button up shirt and polished brown dress shoes, while Jay wears red button up shirt with a black suit and polished black dress shoes. I smile politely out at the crowd, nodding to some familiar faces, while Jay tugs uncomfortably at his collar.

"This isn't fun. You said it'd be fun."

"I never clarified who for." I smirk, but turn to face him anyway. "If it's bothering you that much, undo the first couple buttons. The focus won't be on you anyway."

He smirks, then does as he's told, "Well, their's won't be, at least." He says, noticing my eyes that intently watch his shirt.

I turn to the crowd and smile winningly, waving. As I look out at the crowd, I lean towards Jay and feel as he does the same. "I never clarified whose focus won't be on you." I turn to wink at him briefly, then pay attention to the crowd as he laughs.

"You're evil." He grins, laying his arm around my shoulders, "In a good way. I love it."

We're lead out of our carriage by a polite usher, who takes us to our places at the front of the chapel. Not long after, Belle and Beast arrive and our usher promptly leaves to lead in the next couple, Mal and Ben.

"Your Majesties," I greet, bowing shallowly at them. I nudge Jay to do the same, and he does so clumsily. Belle greets me with a warm smile, "Ali, we've known you your whole life! No need to be so formal." She pulls me into a hug and Beast shakes my hand. Their attention turns to Jay next.

"Ah, Belle, Beast, this is my boyfriend, Jay. He's the son of Jafar."

They hesitate, eyeing me. "Oh."

"It's alright," I smile, taking Jay's hand and squeezing it, "My parents know, and they're okay with it."

Belle smiles politely at Jay, while Beast nods, and he smiles nervously back. Without further ado, the King and Queen of Auradon leave us to sit on their thrones, where Ben will be crowned King in front of them. Quietly, Mal slips in next to me.

"You look beautiful."

"Did you know?" She asks softly. I continue to look forward with a smile, ignoring the fact that Jay has no clue what we're talking about. "That he's in love with you and it's not because you make a mean cookie?" I smirk. "Oh, yeah."

As we watch Ben be crowned, I notice Mal's face slowly grow more and more anxious the closer FG gets to the wand. I lean close to her, "You look constipated." I grin. She gives me a look and I raise my hands in defense. "Kidding, kidding." I look back to FG as she lifts the case off the wand. "Whatever you need to do, Mal." She nods.

I swap places with Jay, knowing it'll be better to be out of the way if worst comes to worst, and he kisses me softly before focusing on their mission. He and Mal share a look with each other and then with the VKs in the wings.

FG holds her wand across both hands as she speaks to Ben, who is kneeling before her.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?"

"I do solemnly swear."

"Then it is my honour, and my joy," FG smiles, lightly tapping Ben's shoulders with her wand, "to bless our new King."
