~~~~Hilda~~~~~
Today was the biggest day of my entire life. Everything had to be perfect. I had to look perfect. I designed my dress specifically to compliment me, and the same with Mali. Her dress was purple and filled with lots of ruffles and hard edges. Mine? It was a true gown. It was off the shoulder with a lace cape that cascaded down my back into a train. The dress itself was sparkly and blue. A blue so deep it entranced the eye. I spent a good fortune on this gown, and a deal great more time. Especially the amount of time I spent in front of the mirror. This night had to be perfect. Even though my lousy Prince of a boyfriend chose tonight to go back home. No matter that, he isn't here so I get to dance with whomever. I also had to supervise Mali. Her going with Hades might just be a disaster, and I had to be there for her. Poor girl couldn't even zip her own dress up.

"Hilda! Can you come zip this up for me? I seriously cannot figure it out." This dress was beautiful. Out of all the things she's made me, this couldn't compare. It had a feather collar and puffed out sleeves. The dress outlined my curves too, which I'd never noticed before. It ruffled at the end towards my feet, a lifesaver because the last thing I needed was to trip over my dress. I was a nervous wreck. Hades was to show up at my door at any minute to take me there. I was melting on the inside. I considered canceling last minute and scraping this whole dance idea, but Hilda spent so long on this dress I couldn't bare to do that. And then the knock on the door came. And then it opeend. "Hi." I said. I looked at this boy. His hair was gelled back, his suit a pale blue coded with rhinestones. In his hands he held a bouquet of flowers. Purple peonies. "Hi Mae, would you care to accompany me to this dance?" He held his hand out and I accepted it graciously. On the walk there he gave me the flowers. I smiled. Maybe this was true feelings he had and not a prank. Maybe I finally found someone to love.

The dance was a flop. Yes I was crowned the queen, of course I was. Had we seen this dress? Had we seen me? I deserved nothing less than first place. In any kind of beauty competition, I came first. I danced with many lonesome suitors. I even danced with poor Hook. He came over to me in sadness. "Oh Hilda, will you please dance with me my fair matey?" I laughed. "Bridget didn't want to go with you tonight?" He sat down beside me and began making little holes in the tablecloth with his hook. "I wouldn't know. I never asked," he sighed, "when will I ever be able to ask that beauty out?" I looked at my friend and felt sorry for him. I got up and offered my hands in dance. "Well I'm terribly sorry you won't get to dance with Pinky tonight, but perhaps a dance from your queen shall satisfy?" Hook, an easy cheer up, took my hands and swept me onto the dance floor. "Ah yes, perhaps it might m'lady." We danced for a few songs. I could tell he was still watching out for Bridget, who happened to be dancing her infamous Shuffle of Cards. I watched Hades and Mali from a distance. They hit it off the whole night. Despite it being the beginning, they were in love. You could tell by the way he looked at her and the way she laughed when he spoke. It truly was a beautiful sight.

~~~~~~~Hades~~~~~
I looked into Maleficent's eyes and I saw the most beautiful girl in existence. Her laugh was a sound of pure joy. Nothing on Olympus could compare to this woman who danced in front of me. I vowed that day that this would be the woman I loved for eternity, that I would never break apart from. We spoke and danced all night and I learned things from her that I would have never known from just watching her. Choosing to come here was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I knew not to listen to my brothers. Zeus had Hera and occasionally the common wench. Poseidon cared not for a singular lover, but many. They wouldn't understand the importance of a singular perfection like I did. They would never understand Maleficent. And it's why I've chosen her to be mine.

The night after when the carriages came to take us home, I felt pleased. I came to a school for wonders. I made friends, learned a lot, and made some enemy's. During the summer I'd grow stronger and work on my vengeance on the stupid Prince and his slut. For now? I keep it low.  That was the great aspect of an evil plan. Never let them expect what's next. The best part about this plan, is that when it came, they wouldn't be prepared. It gave me the chance to take over and rule. That summer I'd also keep in touch with Hades. On my left hand stood a beautiful ring. Hades had asked me to be his girlfriend that night. I accepted with open arms. Somewhat, I was still afraid of him lying about his devotion to me. I was too afraid to admit my feelings for him either. I wasn't sure what I felt, but I had a whole summer to figure it out.
