We pull up to the very front of the chapel, our parents waiting for us. Hopefully there won't be any fights either. The footman helps me out and I stop for the cameras. Best get the pictures now instead of later. If there even is a later. Snow White, who is our news reporter, stands on the other side of the rope talking about the event. Ben helps Mal out of the carriage, and together, we walk over to my parents who are standing at the front door. Mal bows her head at them, and they bow back at her. So far so good.
"About the other day-"
"I told my son being king wouldn't be easy." Dad cuts off Mal's apology and explanation. Slightly rude of my dad, but I think he's trying to make amends. Ben stands tall and looks our dad in the eyes.
"You also told me that a king has to believe in himself even when it isn't easy." Dad looks at him for a minute, proud. Mom smiles at dad and squeezes his arm.
"I did say that. And I am proud that you are willing to make hard decisions to move this kingdom forward." Dad smiles at Ben and mom nods to me. Looks like they might have taken my words to heart after all. At least I sure hope they did. I'm just glad there is no bad blood between us anymore.
Our parents walk inside, and we follow behind them. We go up to the very center of the room, where the coronation will take place. I stand to the side with Mal standing next to me. I loop my arm through hers and notice that Ben's ring is on her finger. Looks like they may hang on to each other just a bit longer, and I grin at it. Dad and mom stand on the raised center with the wand sitting in its glass case on a pillow next to them. It sits on a small pillar, and Ben stands in front of them. Soon, everyone is inside, and FG comes walking up the center. Ben stands before her with our parents behind her, smiling in pride.
"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon with justice and mercy for as long as you shall reign?" Her voice carries out over the quiet room, radiating authority. The must be the Fairy Godmother everyone knows so well.
"I do." Ben states.
"Then, it is my honor and my joy to bless our new king." She takes her wand out of the case and goes to bless Ben, but then all hell breaks loose. Instead of any of us five grabbing the wand, like planned, Jane has ripped the wand out of her mother's hand. Gasps and screams could be heard as Jane fights with the wand, not knowing how to work her own magic. She's never even wanted to do magic before.
"Jane!" I yell at her, as her mother looks at her in shock. I didn't see her, out of all people, stealing the wand. I mean, it's sweet, timid Jane.
"Child, what on earth are you doing?" FG tries to get close to her, but Jane spins out of her way and tries to force the wand to do whatever it is she wants. Magic comes flying out of the wand in wild chaotic jolts of light beams, causing Jane to spin this way and that due to not knowing how to work with it at all. Everyone dodges and scramble to take cover as to not be hit by any magic.
"If you won't make me pretty, then I'll do it myself!" Jane shouts out at her mother. Please do not tell me this is all about her hair and the fact that it isn't long anymore! Mal and I try to get close to grab the wand to stop her, but she dodges us along with her mother. For a nerdy girl, she can sure move fast, and her reflexes are amazing. Stop, Rose. So not the time. Dad holds mom behind him, and the guards hold Ben back.
"Jane, stop this!" I shout at her, trying to get her to stop what she obviously doesn't know how to do. If she wants to use the wand to change herself, that's on her, but she should at the very least learn how to even begin to work with magic first.
"Rose!" Dad yells as Jane points the wand at me. Oh, please don't do anything to terribly bad. Mal's eyes widen and she lunges forward, throwing Janes arms up and making the light beam fly out of the glass roof. Glass shatters and falls, people running and pushing to get out of the way. Both girls struggle to get the wand, and I run over to help Mal pull it out of Jane's hands. I'd rather let Mal have the wand right now considering she at least knows how to work her magic, and she won't accidentally turn someone into a pumpkin. We eventually get the wand out of the Jane's possession, and Jane takes off running to Audrey in tears.
