- (Can We Be Friends?) by; Conan Gray
Ben
Ma cherie Mademoiselle,
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure
That we welcome you tonight.
And now, we invite you to relax,
Let us pull up a chair
As the dining room proudly presents -
Your dinner!
All
Be... our... guest!
Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we'll provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff
It's delicious!
Don't believe me?
Ask the dishes
They can sing!
They can dance!
After all, Miss, this is France!
And the dinner here is never second best!
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest!
We tell jokes,
I do tricks!
With my fellow candlesticks
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
All the families clapped and smiled at the end of their little song and dance.
Conie walked over to the VKs as everyone else met their families. As Chad walked to their parents.
Carlos and Jay were devouring the chocolate fountain while Mal and Evie waved at Conie.
"Hi," He said when he reached the girls.
"You know," Evie started, gently touching Conie's shoulder. "As stunning as you look in an all black suit-"
"Thank you."
"Of course. But, as stunning as you look you would look even better in a blue or better yet a red suit. Don't you agree Mal?"
"Definitely," She smiled at him.
Conie didn't have the heart to tell her that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two suits.
"Well I think the black looks just fine," Conie shrugged. "I've always worn it."
"The black looks great," Jay stated, munching on a chocolate covered strawberry.
Conie chuckled and reached over to wipe the chocolate from the corner of his mouth. Conie then licked the chocolate from his finger.
"Thanks Jay," He smirked at his friend.
"Anytime," Jay smiled turning back to Carlos, hiding the flush on his face. Carlos chuckled at him.
"But still," Evie pressed. "I wanna design something for you."
Conie shook his head and Mal chuckled.
"Be back," She then muttered, waving to Ben.
Evie and Conie took a step closer to each other, smiling at Ben and Mal.
"You're not very slick, Conie, you know that," Evie teased.
"Huh?"
Evie just smiled and looked between him and Jay a couple times. His ears turned red.

Conie was at the snack bar grabbing some snacks, obviously, while the VKs plus Ben were playing croquet.
Well, Carlos and Dude were running around, Evie was talking to Belle about something, Ben was teaching Jay croquet, and Mal was watching everyone.
Conie turned back to the food to grab another one those baked brie bites, one of his favorites, when someone loudly exclaimed, "You!"
He turned back to face everyone.
It was Queen Leah, Audrey's grandmother, "How are you here? And how have you stayed so young?"
"Queen Leah, it's okay. Maleficent is still on the island," Ben told her. "This is her daughter, Mal. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"
"A chance to what, Ben," She snapped. "Destroy us? Come on. You remember, don't you? The poison apples. And the spells. Spells. My daughter... Was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all! You mustn't trust her."
Conie felt sick as everyone comforted the shitty old hag. He decided to stay where he was, otherwise he might just punch someone.
"I'm so so-" Mal tried.
"Go away," Chad intervened. Conie clenched his jaw. "Stay away from her!"
"Don't do this, Chad," Ben looked almost as mad as Conie felt.
"What," Chad hissed. "They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh. You stole another girl's boyfriend. Oh. You enjoy hurting people. And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater."
Conie took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He couldn't get into a fight in front of everyone, though it was getting harder and harder not to.
"Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land," Evie snapped back at Chad, pushing her mirror in his face
Chad rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand.
"Back off, Chad," Jay shoved him. "All right? Back off!"
Ben pulled Jay away and Evie sprayed something in Chad's face that made him unconscious. Conie snorted as he fell to the ground.
The VKs hurried away and everyone worked to help Chad.
It made him sick again to see everyone helping Chad when he was just a massive asshole.
Audrey helped Chad walk and as soon as they got close enough-
"Hey Chad," Conie said before punching him square in the nose. There was a collective gasp from everyone watching. "If you wanna talk shit about them again, I'm gonna end up breaking something more important."
"You destructive freak," Audrey yelled, holding Chad who had blood dripping down his face. "No wonder you get along so well the VKs!"
Conie was going to respond to her only for his father to grab him by the ear and pull him away.
"Can't you ever behave," He shrieked at him. "Why must you be so stupid!"
Conie didn't listen, he hasn't listened to his parents' words for years.
He did, however, notice the looks everyone gave him, looks filled with disgust and judgment. Some even looked at him like he was some sort of bomb.
But he didn't care in the moment. All he could think of was hurrying to Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay to make sure they were okay.
