DESCENDANTS FRANCHISE (HADEN & EVIE)

Chapter Six: Family Day

The next morning a soft hit on his leg woke him up. He slightly jolted as his eyes opened, to see Jay at the foot of his bed. "Come on, get up. It's family day, they want us there." Haden nodded as he rolled off of his mattress.

"You good?" Jay asked him. Haden once again nodded. Jay knew he was lying, but didn't press it further. The two left and met up with the rest of the VK's, after Haden was dressed. He and Evie locked eyes, but he tore his away quickly as he couldn't deal with this. They left soon after, and headed for the courtyard.

The five looked out over the balcony, once Ben and the others finished their number. They walked down to the food tables, as Mal started to look at Ben with his parents. Carlos and Jay began digging in to the chocolate fountain and strawberries that were on offer, as Haden rolled his eyes at their antics.

Mal was soon called over by Ben. "I wanna introduce you to my parents." Ben told her as they faced them. "Mom, Dad, this is Mal, from the Island. My girlfriend."

A brief silence followed until Belle broke it. "Hi." It sounded forced.

"Hi." Mal said back.

"I was thinking she could join us for lunch." Ben told his parents.

"Uh, sure. Any friend of Ben's." Again their statements sounded forced.

"I actually came with my friends, and my brother." Mal told them, pointing back to the group. Haden looked bored, as Evie put up a fake smile and waved. Carlos and Jay had chocolate all over them as they waved happily.

"Well you should invite them. Because the more the merrier." Belle said.

"Great, I'll go get them." Mal said.

"How about a game of croquet before lunch?" Beast offered. Mal and Ben agreed and went to grab the VK's.

Dude and Carlos had began running around the field, as Mal and Haden stood together. "What did you do?" She asked.

"What?" Haden replied.

"With Evie. What happened?" Mal finished.

"Look. I-"

"Sorry to interrupt." They turned their attention to an older woman beside them. "You just look so familiar, have we met?" She asked Mal.

"No I don't think so. We're new, kinda like transfer students." The woman nodded in understanding. Audrey ran up to the woman and held her hand. "Oh, Audrey. Give Grammy a kiss."

Mal and Haden looked worriedly at the interaction. "Grammy?" Mal questioned.

"Sleeping Beauty's mother." Audrey revealed what they feared to be true.

"Grammy I don't think you wanna be talking to this people. Unless you fancy taking another hundred year nap." Audrey told her grandmother. Mal faced Queen Leah as she made a realisation. "You?!"

Her sudden exclamation caught everyone's attention. "How are you here? And how have you stayed so young?" She questioned Mal.

Ben walked over to try diffuse the situation. "Queen Leah, it's ok. Maleficent is still on the island. This is her daughter and son, Mal and Haden. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?" He asked the woman.

"A chance to what, Ben? Destroy us!" She turned back to Fairy Godmother. "Come on, you remember the poisoned apples. And the spells!" Beast and Belle looked down at this. "My daughter, was raised by fairies, because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all!" She turned away into Fairy Godmothers embrace.

"I am so so-" Chad pushed Mal's arm away, angering Haden.

"Don't. Stay away from her." He warned her.
