*During Family Day*

*With Ben and his family after he finishes singing*

Belle: Oh... that was so lovely! Oh wa-

Adam: Just here?

Photographer: Ready?

Benjamin: Oh, by the way, I have a girlfriend

Belle: Oh!

Adam: Do we know your new girlfriend?

Photographer: On the count of three. One, two...

Benjamin: Well, sort of. Magnolia! I gotta go, okay?

*He walks away from his family and towards Magnolia*

Photographer: Three! Huh?

Benjamin: Magnolia? Ollie?

Magnolia: Yes?

Benjamin: Uh... I wanna introduce you to my parents

Magnolia: Ben... I don't know

Benjamin: I'll be right beside you the entire time

Magnolia: Fine

*They walk over to his family*

Benjamin: This is Magnolia

Belle: Mm...

Benjamin: My girlfriend

Magnolia: Hello

Adam: Hi

Benjamin: I was thinking maybe she can join us for lunch

Adam: Oh... course any friend of Ben's

Magnolia: Oh well, uhm, I wasn't planning on staying very long

Belle: We will catch up with you guys

Gabriel: Okay?

*They walk off besides Belle and Magnolia*

Magnolia: I haven't done anything have I?

Belle: *While pulling her into a hug* Thank you for protecting my son

Magnolia: Oh... uhm she told you?

Belle: If you are referring to Fairy Godmother then yes

Magnolia: I couldn't just sit and wait for something to happen

Belle: I'm happy for you and my son

*The next day during lunch*

Sophia: Are you sitting with us?

Magnolia: I shouldn't

Gabriel: It's fine Nola

Magnolia: I'll be in the library

Sophia: Okay

*She heads to the library*

Benjamin: Hey, guys. How is everyone? Yeah? Hey, listen, forget about it. All right? It was nothing, just forget about it, just let it go. Tomorrow, after the coronation, I promise everything will be okay. I have to go. I'll see you guys later

*He walks over to his table*

Sophia: Have you spoken to Mags any?

Benjamin: She won't talk to me

Gabriel: Do you blame her? Everyone is wary of her after yesterday

Benjamin: She didn't do anything

Gabriel: They don't care about that
