It was 2 days before Christmas and the castle was already bustling for this year's Christmas Ball in Auradon, for this would be Adrien's first-ever Christmas with his true family, and Belle and Adam wanted everything to be perfect, mostly Belle as she was fidgeting for the tiniest things like the height of the wreaths or even the size of the ribbons.
"Belle my dear calm down, everything will be perfect before the ball tomorrow, so stop worrying." "Adam it's my baby's first Christmas ball, I want it to be special." Belle retracted, "It will just stay calm Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth can handle the rest."
"My Queen! Prince Adrien and King Ben are missing!" a maid called as she slammed the door open, "WHAT?!" she screamed as she started running through the door. "Arrgh" he growled, "just when I calmed her down," he said to himself and rushed to follow his already frantic wife.
Meanwhile
In the outskirts of the caste, amidst the white padded snow. Ben and Adrien ran fast into the snowy weather as they did not want to get caught. "I can't believe you drag me into this" "aww c'mon Ben live a little it's the holidays" Adrien cheered, "yea I know but mom is going to flip when she realizes we snuck out" "she won't, she's too preoccupied with the ball to notice" he argued, "that's because it's our first holiday as a whole family remember" "I know but it's just boring just staying in the castle the whole break, I mean I love being with mum and dad and all but it's too stuffy" "don't worry I know what you mean."
As they finished talking, they arrived at their destination, which was Beast town. "ok we're here now what?" "well first we need to buy presents for mum, dad, and our friends, then we go snow sledding and ice skate, and then go to the Sugar rush cafe for hot chocolate," Adrien told. "well it seems that you got it all planned out, then what are we waiting for"
Their first stop was the Neverland bookshop to buy the latest copy of her mother's recent favorite book called A Court of Thorns and Roses. As the two brothers looked browse and looked for the book they need, Adrien stumbled upon and saw Ellie, who was reading a book about the Chronicles of Narnia. he was a little taken aback as he was stunned to see what she was wearing which was a long white winter coat with silver pants and matching white furry boots and a beret hat, while her luscious golden locks flowed freely into her back.
Then it is as if time stopped as her eyes met his. Ellie looked at what he was wearing which was a blue parka jacket with a simple white shirt inside, black denim pants, and brown winter boots, complete with a pair of black gloves, he was handsome in her eyes. "H-hey El what are you doing here?" "o-oh just reading, I need to take a break from my brother so here I am, you?" "Just um buying presents for my family" he answered shyly which baffled him to no end and even stuttered. "that's very kind of you" "it's nothing really, it's my first Christmas with them so I wanted it to be special so yeah."
"I understand guess I'll leave you to it then, happy Christmas!" "you too El," he said softly as he watched her leave the store with the most beautiful of smiles. 'wait' he thought, 'why did I think of that, she's just a friend' he scolded his mind but was interrupted by his brother who basically in front of him the whole time and saw the whole thing.
"What?" he asked as he gave him a weird smug face, "are you sure there is nothing between you and Ellie that I need to know about?" Ben asked, "what, no she's just a friend! and plus we're like 12" "ok ok just saying."
After they paid for the book and walked toward the puppet master's workshop to buy some paint and materials. "Adrien!" a voice screamed. he turned to see the source of the voice and it was the one and only Pia woods daughter of Pinnochio herself as they approached the counter. "wow what a haul what are you going to use that for?" "It's nothing, it's just for another present I'm making" "well then I hope that it turns out fine, anyway that'll be $30.99 please," she said and paid for it.
shop after shop a friend or someone familiar to them came as well like Richard, Keanu, and the D4 themselves. and after shopping they sled, skated, and played in the snow the whole day.
After they got their hot chocolates from Sugar rush Cafe and headed home, where hopefully their Mom wouldn't see but let's just say they did.
the night of the Christmas ball
Everyone was thrilled and full of delight as the ball began and Christmas cheer began to spread throughout the ballroom. As wines and appetizers were distributed to all those in attendance.
It was pure unadulterated joy as pair by pair they danced and ate through the night, like his brother who had a total of 10 dances with Mal which was understandable, but the purest shock of all for the night was when Jay danced with Lonnie dancing in the dancefloor.
It was simply the most fun that he ever had, and it was sayin' somethin'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the ball, the 4 members of the small family dropped onto the couch of the castle's sjttjng room and almost sleep into the night, which was the perfect time to give them their presents. one by one they opened them, which gave them a shock. first was his father Adam as he gifted him which was a wooden figurine that resembled his early days as the beast, next was his brother which he gifted was a diamond ring with intricite dragon designs with a few emeralds cascasding around it, and lastly his mother which he gifted a red wooden jewelry box with rose petal designs in the side.
The three loved their gifts and thanked him for it. Theycuddled close into the fireplace and slept there into the night.
