From stone to flaming red.

"what do you want to know?" Red asks Chloe. "Okay. Um. Let's start with the basics. Family tree and shit." Chloe said. Red giggled when she heard her girlfriend cuss. "Alright. I have an older brother.." Red says when Chloe cut her off. "What!?" "Have I not told you that?" Red looked at her. "No?!" "Oh then yeah I have an older brother. His name is BLANK and he is 20. He is off to college somewhere I don't even know." Red explains to the blue haired girl. "I cannot believe it's the first time I'm hearing about this." Chloe says shocked. "I don't really talk about him. He kinda disappears and I don't think he really likes me." Red said leaving Chloe flabbergasted. "Oh my god?" Chloe said as Red laughed. "It's fine really." Red said. "Alright moving on." Chloe told her. "I was homeschooled before I came here. Well...as I remember before everything happens. I didn't have any friends except..you know and basically my mother was a tyrant until we changed everything." Red said. "Alright I can see why we are dating." Chloe said. "What do you mean?" "I have a brother who basically annnoys me all the time my father hates me.." Chloe says as she is cut off by Red. "Hey don't say that he will come to his senses." Chloe scoffed. "Doubt that. Anyway. I was also homeschooled and had 2 friends who we drifted apart." Chloe told red. "Hm yeah we are definitely soulmates." Red joked. Chloe looked at her. "You really think that?" Chloe told her looking Red's big brown eyes. "I mean. You are literally the best thing that has ever happened to me so yeah I can picture you in my future." Red said.

"Really? And how does that future look like?" Chloe smiled. "I mean i have pictured you in beautiful white dress for sure if that's what you're asking." Red smiled. "I was indeed asking that." Chloe laughed. "Okay then how will our house be?" Red asked. "Hmm..I'm thinking a two story house with a big kitchen for me to cook for you." Chloe says. "A big back yard for cinnamon and our kids.." Chloe said looking at Red who was peacefully listening to her plans about their future. "Oh we have kids now alright." Red giggle. "Shut up! We do yes. 3. Hoping triplets. 2 girls 1 boy hopefully." Chloe says. "Wow triplets?! Are you sure you want to be put in that hell?" Red said jokingly. "I mean they would be so cute cmon!" "I'm sure they will be but I don't think my physical and mental health can handle waking up to 3 crying babies in the morning." Red said as she brushed a hair strand out of Chloe's face smiling. "Okay then. But I'm sure I want 3 kids." "Okay agreed 3 kids." Red smiled. "And we'll have a balcony with a deck so we will sit there and watch sunsets and sunrises." Chloe says with a soft voice. "what about you?" She asks Red. "Hmm. I want...anything that makes you happy." Red tells her. Chloe glanced at her. Her eyes sparkling to the sight of her girlfriend. "do you think we'll make it?" She asked the red haired girl. "I'm sure we will baby." She answered kissing her forehead. "Let's get some sleep. We had a rough day." Red told her as she pulled her close. They cuddled and eventually their tiredness overcame and they fell asleep in each others arms.

"I'm not sure Daph." Red whispered over the phone. It was 6:45AM. Chloe was sleeping. "Red trust me. You're the only one in her mind. And with what you're planning there is no way she turn it down." Daphne said. Senior prom was coming in 3 days. Red was thinking about how she was going to ask her girlfriend. She wanted it to be special for her since everything that happened with her dad. "Okay imma call you back later." Red told Daphne. "Okay. Love ya. And..don't worry. She loves you. Whatever you plan she will love it." Daphne said before hanging up the phone. Red checked the time. It was 7. She turned off Chloe's alarm yesterday because she wanted her to sleep good. Suddenly she gets a text from her mom. Weird.

"Hey honey. Good morning. How are the two of you holding up?"
"We're fine. Well Chloe is still handling everything but we are good. How are you?"
"Well I talked with Ella and Charming."
"Really!? What did they say?"
"Charming came to his senses after you two left. He agreed to let back Chloe into the kingdom but he still needs some time to process everything."
Red took a glance at Chloe.
"oh alright. That's all?"
"Pretty much yes. Ella wants to visit you two. She is not well."
"I'm okay with it but I'll have to ask Chloe."
"Okay baby girl. Do you need anything?"
Red's heart warmed up to her mother's nickname. She smiled at herself.
"No mama it's all good."
"Okay text me if anything. Love you lots."
"Love you too mama."

Red shut her phone and smiled. For the past days she has been getting more comfortable with her mother. She finally was able to open up. Not very easily but still. She look at the clock. 7:00am. She looked at her girlfriend and went over to her. She snuggled in bed and cuddled her to wake her up. Chloe slowly opened her eyes and smiled to the sight of the red haired girl. "good morning baby." Chloe said in her sleepy voice. "good morning pretty" Red told her. "we have to get ready for the day" Red said. Cinnamon crawled on them. "Good morning to you too big boy." Red giggled as she grabbed him. They sat up. Chloe stretched and rubbed her eyes and then looked over to her girlfriend. "Imma go get ready." Chloe told her and gave Red a smooch on the lips. She went to the bathroom. Red was already in her clothes. When the bathroom door closed, she quickly grabbed her phone and made the first phone call of the day.

"You've called Lilian's flower shop how can I help you out today."
"Hey Lilian it's me Red."
"oh my god hey honey how have you been?"

Lilian was Red's aunt. She was a mother figure to her growing up. Surprisingly Lilian was the only person that Bridget did not hate when she was a tyrant. She loved Red like a child of her own. She worked at a big flower shop in Auradon's center. One of the biggest ones to be honest. After Red got accepted to join Auradon she would see her around more often but she never really got a chance to talk to her.

"I'm good! I've been seeing you around a lot lately but I didn't get to talk to you"
"It's alright dear you can come by the flower shop anytime."
"That's why I called to be honest."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah I want to make an order."
"Ohh who are you prom-posing to? Oh my god. Please tell me to Chloe. I've been dying to know what happened between you two."
"okay how did you even know about us?"
"I have my ways. Anyway what did you want me to make?"
"I need a big bouquet of flowers but I'll have to bring them to you because last time you didn't have them."
"If you are talking about blue bells and Amaryllises I just stocked."
"What?! Where did you—"
"I told you I have my ways."
"Okay then I want a big bouquet of these two if you can. And I need them to be ready for later today."
"Don't worry you'll have it in an hour probably."
"Okay I'll send Daphne to get them so Chloe won't suspect a thing."
"Okay I'll be waiting. Love you dear and stay safe."
"Love you auntie."

Red hung up right before Chloe got out of the bathroom. "Okay we can go." Chloe told Red. "You look beautiful" Red told her as she stood up and went over to her. She wrapped her arms around her and kissed her. "Someone's in a mood today" Chloe said smiling. "let's go." Red told her as she grabbed her hand. They started the day. Red had already planned the prom-posal for this evening. Although she had planned everything she had this feeling that something would go wrong. The were walking in the hallways holding hands and were heading to their lockers which they were next to eachother. As they were walking they found Isla and Daphne. "Hey! How have you two been?" Daphne asks the young couple. "good. We've met eachother's parents and it didn't go that well." Chloe said as they reached their lockers. "Ohhh. They didn't take it right?" Isla asked. "long story short my dad hates me" Chloe says. "Hey. He doesn't hate you. He just needs a little time." Red tells her as she brushed a strand of her hair away from her face. "same thing." Chloe says while closing her locker and turning to Red. "you know it's not" Red tells her as Chloe signs and rolls her eyes. "Anyway! Um Red have you told Chloe what we are doing tonight?" Isla said smiling.

"I'm what are we doing tonight?" Chloe asks and looks at Red. "I completely forgot!" She says sarcastically. "we are going to the tourney field to see a cheer practice because Daphne thinks of joining." Red tried to make up an excuse. "a cheer practice? During night time?" Red panicked. "Uhh yeah! It's a thing they do to practice during cold weather or without lights to be prepared for anything." Daphne quickly said. "oh okay then yeah I'm in. If it means watching Daphne fall down from a pyramid then I'm so in." They all laughed. "Oh ha ha. I wanna see you try miss fencing captain." Daphne joked as they all laughed. "Oh no thank you. I'll pass" they all laughed. "Okay let's go to class now because fairy god mother won't be happy if we are late." Isla says. They all agree and go to the one class they had together. As they were walking Red and Chloe were holding hands. This time nobody looked or made a comment about it. Red looked around and then at her girlfriend. She felt safe. They went into the classroom and let the lesson begin.
