Descendant's Future

Joining

"Where are you taking me?" I scream as Evie, Audrey, Lonnie and Jane drag me around.

"You don't get to know yet. It's your bachelorette party! Time to have some fun," Audrey says.

"My definition, or yours?" I ask, laughing.

"A bit of both," Lonnie says. "We're going clubbing."

"Auradon has clubs? How did I not know about this?" I freeze for a minute. "We are talking about an actual club, right? Not some country club?"

"I've check this place out. It might even be better than those on the island," Evie assures.

"Alright!" They take me into a club. I'm fed drink after drink and by the time we're going home, I can hardly think straight. Jane, the designated driver calls all of our boyfriends, or in my case fiancé, so they could pick us up. Ben arrives a few minutes later and when he tries to help me up, my knees let me drop.

When Mal falls, I catch so her head doesn't hit anything. "How much did you all drink?" I ask her. When she doesn't reply, I carry her to the limo and stretch her across all the seats. She's all smiling and poking at my face. I carry her into my room and set her on the bed. After changing her into her pajamas, I crawl into bed next to her. She spends the first hour messing with my hair and poking my stomach before she falls asleep.

"Hold still, sweetie," Evie says. I sigh and try to not to move but I'm just too excited. It's been a few days since I woke up after the bachelorette party. "M!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just excited and really happy. Even a little jittery."

"I know. But you want to look your best, right?" I nod and she goes back to finishing my makeup. "There." I look at myself in the mirror and absolutely love what she's done.

"It's wonderful," I tell her.

She pulls out a blue hairclip and sets it in my hair. "Something new, something borrowed and something blue. I thought it would be nice."

I smile and pull her into a hug. "Thank you."

"And something old," Carlos says, walking in. He kneels down and ties something around my ankle. "Our old bracelets."

He stands up and after he and Jay give me a hug, we move to walk down the aisle. I can see Ben talking to Doug, his best man, just before the music starts. When I walk down, I can only look at Ben to keep from freaking out. He's smiling at me and waiting for me to get there. After making it to the end, Ben takes my hands, rubbing them gently to share his excitement. I barely listen as the preacher moves through the ceremony. When I start to listen, the preacher is talking to Ben.

"Do you, Benjamin Florian Festiva, take Mal Bertha Fidentia, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part."

"I do," Ben says.

"Do you, Mal, Bertha Fidentia, take Benjamin Florian Festiva, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part."

I smile and nodding, say, "I do."

"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Ben pulls me closed and we kiss for as long as we can without making it awkward for everyone else before parting. Everyone files out to the reception before we run out to join them. After dancing the night away, Ben carries me over the threshold of the castle before going all the way to our room. I'm taking off my makeup as Ben takes a quick shower and, feeling more evil than usual, I let the dress fall from my shoulders before walking in and joining him.
