If Only:A Descendants Story

Chapter 5:

"Mal.Mal,wake up."

My eyes flutter open and I see Evie,Jane,and Lonnie standing over me smiling.

"Let's go,sleepy head.Big day today.You're getting married and being crowned Queen!" Jane squeals.

I yawn,stretch,and hold my hands out to Evie for her to help me up.

She takes my hands,and pulls me up.

"Your bath is waiting,so quickly wash your body.We have a lot to do!"

I nod,sleepily walk to bathroom,rid myself of my clothes and lower myself into the warm water.

As I begin to scrub my body,a million thoughts course through my mind.

Everything seems to be happening so fast.I know I love Ben with all my heart,and I knew eventually that we would get married,but this soon...We really haven't even been engaged a full two weeks.And in less that eight hours,I'm going to be married and be Queen. Oh god.

I rinse off ,pull the plug,and step out.

After I've dryed off and wrapped myself in a robe,I stare at myself in the mirror. I'm still not used to my blonde hair. I mean,I love it,it's just way different!

I remember the first time I saw it...

                      ~Flashback~
"Okay,Mal...are you ready?"Lonnie says.

I sigh."As ready as I can be." I take a deep breath and brace myself for the reveal.

"One...two....three!" Lonnie takes the towel out of my hair and my mouth drops.

I feel like I'm staring at a whole new person.

My dark purple hair has been replaced by a breath taking honey blonde.

"Sooo?" Lonnie asks."What do you think?"

I smile and take her hand."It's beautiful."

                   ~End of Flashback~
"Mal,you okay in there?" Jane calls,breaking me from my thoughts.

"Yeah! Just a minute."

I pull my hair back loosely and brush my teeth.

After rinsing out the sink,I take a deep breath and walk back into the room where Lonnie,Evie,and Jane are giggling.

"There she is!" Evie squeals."My best friend getting married! Oh my gosh! I am SO excited!"

I laugh."Let's get busy,shall we?"

Evie grins,hugs me and plops me down into a chair.

••••••••••Five Hours Later••••••••••
"A little bit more blush,aaaannnnd done!" Says Jane. She closes the lid to the blush and smiles."You look gorgeous,Mal." She says with a smile.

I smile."Thank you."

I stand up and Evie comes in with my dress.

I huff."The one thing I'm not looking forward to."

Evie smirks."Oh I think you just might change your mind."

She unzips the bag and I gasp when I see that it's the dress Evie made for me instead of the one I was originally going to wear.

It was so ugly!

"How did you get it made so fast?" I ask in awe as I take some of the fabric between my fingers.
