HappybelatedbirthdayVeronica💘^^ Mal's POV Today is the music festival we've been planning for about a week now. The stage is up in front of the castle. I was getting ready with Ben. I was putting my makeup on. "I can't believe its actually going live around the world" I said. "I know me too. Are you nervous?" He asked. "No.... A little.... Yes..." I replied. He turned to face me. "Babe there's nothing to be nervous about! All we have to do is introduce the singers" he said and hugged me. "I know but what if we make a mistake?" I asked and looked up at him. "We won't, I promise" he replied and kissed me. "Let's go its gonna start in about an hour" he said. I was wearing

(She'snotwearingthejacket ^^) I linked arms with Ben and we walked downstairs. "You look cute today" he whispered. I blushed. "Don't I look cute everyday?" I teased. He laughed. "Yes you do, but today is totally different" he replied and kissed my head. We walled to the kitchen. All of the girls were there. "hey, I didn't know you were all here already" I said. "FG brought them all. The boys are in the second ballroom getting ready and we have the first ballroom to get ready" Evie said. "Bye" Ben said and kissed me. "Bye" I replied and let go of his hand. He left. We set up some makeup stations and wardrobe in both ballrooms. We also put a table with food. So that after they perform they can eat. Both ballrooms connect so they can go in and out. "We should start getting ready" I told them. They nodded and we all walked to the ballroom. All week we have been posting about today. We're making sure so many people around the world are watching. Its kinda like a free concert. We got to the ballroom and the stars went to their stations. Each of us did their makeup. I was doing Ariana's. "Thank you for letting us do this!" She said. "No problem, I'm glad you all came because or else it would be a really boring show... like every year" I replied. Ryan came into the room. "Hey Dove are we singing together?" He asked. "Well... Do you want to?" I asked. "That's why I'm asking you, if you want to" he said. "I don't know, what do you want to do?" I asked. "I'm not going to sing if you don't want to then" he said. "God damn just sing together" Ariana said and everyone laughed. "Ok then we're after me" he said and left. "Thanks, a lot" I told Ariana sarcastically. "I didn't really want to sing with him! And Ben hates it when I sing with him" I told her. "Well sorry, you guys were going back and forth" she replied. A few minutes later we were all done. "Ok stay here let me go get the boys and well tell you who's going first" I said. I went into the other ballroom. "Hey baby" Ben said and kissed me. "Hi" I replied and chuckled. "Oh! Harry are you singing with us for the finale?" I asked him while he was walking by. "Yeah, I thought we were all doing it" he said. I nodded. "Boys follow me the show's gonna start soon" I yelled so everyone can hear me. We walked back into the first ballroom. The girls walked towards us. "E do you have the list?" I asked. "Yes, here" she replied and handed it to me. "Ok so Zayn you're starting off. Sing your songs but make sure 'I don't wanna live forever' is last because you'll introduce Taylor and then when the sing is over she'll sing her songs. Do you all see how it is? If you're singing with someone else make that the last song you sing do that the guest singing will stay on after and perform their songs" I said. They all nodded. "You can go outside and watch from backstage, but make sure we know where you are because we need to find you to tell you when you're going on. You are allowed while you're singing to walk in the crowd. We made pathways for you" I said. They all nodded again. "Thank you all for coming" I added. They all replied. "Charles!!" I yelled. He ran into the room. "Yes my lady" he said and bowed. "Can you tell the camera men that were going live in exactly 5 minutes?" I asked. "Yes, good luck your Majesties" he said and bowed and left the ballroom. "Wow that's pretty impressive" Selena said. Ben and I laughed. "We keep telling them not to bow, but that never happens" I replied. "Mom everything's ready, we're all set to start the show" Mel said walking into the ballroom. "Thanks honey" I replied and hugged her. "Ok Zayn come with me" I said and he followed Ben and I. We got outside backstage. I signaled the camera man and he went live. Ben gave me a mic and we walked on stage. Everyone bowed. "Oh no don't bow. Babe how many times do we have to tell them?" Ben asked. "I don't know but it really does get annoying anyways..... HOW YOU DOING AURADON??!" I yelled and the crowd cheered. I laughed. "Wow I actually think this is our whole population, I mean look at this crowd" Ben said and signaled the camera man to turn the camera around to the crowd. He turned it back to us. "Thank you for showing up to watch. I promise this year will be much more fun than the past years. Thank you to all of you who are at home watching this concert. We are so sorry you couldn't he here in person, we would've loved to see you all here in person. But being here in Auradon has its perks.... Anyways, let's get on with this AMF!" I said. "Our first performer is amazing. Its none other than the one and only Zayn Malik!!!" Ben said and we walked off stage. We watched Zayn from backstage. "What's up AMF?!!!" he yelled. "Wow, I did not expect this many people" he said and everyone laughed. "Ok let's start with my first single" he said and the music started. He sang the clean version of 'Pillowtalk' (IwouldputthevideobutI'monlyallowedtoput 20 video/photosinachapter. Andthere'salotmorepeoplethataresingingsoitwouldhetoomanyvideostooutin). He finished his first song and Ben went to get Taylor. He started his second. Taylor was here and she was about to go on. "Go on once you start singing" I whispered. Zayn sang his part then introduced Taylor and she sang. "Taylor Swift everybody!" He said. "I'm sitting eyes wide open........" She sang. They sang 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever'. "Give it up for Zayn everybody!!" Taylor said and the crowd went wild. "let's throw it back a little" she smirked and the music started. She sang 'Shake It Off'. "WHOOOO" I yelled and Ben laughed. Evie brought Kendrick Lamar. "You're up bud, good luck" Ben said and he laughed. "Thanks king Ben" he replied and bowed. He was just teasing us. Ben laughed. Taylor started singing and then it was his turn. "Kendrick Lamar everyone!" She yelled and he walked on stage singing. They sang 'Bad Blood'. "Give it up for the incredible Taylor Swift!" He said and Taylor walked off the stage. "Do you wanna know, cause I don't wanna know" he said and Maroon 5 walked on stage singing 'don't wanna know'. They both finished and then Maroon 5 sang their second song 'Sugar'. They finished and Ben and I went back on stage. We're doing like little interviews/commercials. "Let's head on over to Sofia Carson who is in the castle getting ready with the performers" I said. "During the show we will be interviewing or showing you some really cool stuff about Auradon. Sofia..." Ben added and the camera inside was showing Evie on the screen in back of us. The people at home watching don't see it on the screen in back they see it live from where Evie is. "I am here in the royal ballroom with the performers. Let's walk around and see who's here" she said and walked around. "Oh look who it is. It's the one and only Selena Gomez" she said and Selena turned around. She was eating food. "Oh is this live right now?" She asked with her mouth full. Evie laughed "yes it is" she replied. "Oh yeah yeah I'm super stoked" she said still with her mouth full. It was all an act though. Everyone laughed. "Well I'll let you get back to your.... Food. That was the amazing Selena Gomez everyone" she said and laughed. She gasped and walked somewhere in the ballroom. "What happened Sof?" I asked. "They're taking out our jewels for our performance!" She said excitedly. She was going to touch them. "DON'T TOUCH THEM!!" I yelled. She stopped. "Why? Its mine" she replied. "Remember what you did last time?" Ben asked. "Ohhh, yeah sorry... Anyways our next performer is ready" she said. "Until next time" she added and the camera came back to me. Ben and I chuckled. "Sofia is just.... Special" I said. "Our next performers are extremely talented" Ben said. "Give it up for The Chainsmokers!!" I said. They sang Paris first. "Can we have the lovely Brenna D'amico come up here" he said. Jane walked on stage. "She's going to be filling in for Halsey" the other one said. The music started and they sang 'Closer'. They finished singing and came off stage. Audrey and Jay sent on stage to announce the next performer. "Our next performer is one of my long time friends" Jay said. "Um mine too duh. Anyways... Here's Olivia Holt!!" Audrey said and they walked off stage. "How you doing AMF?!!" She yelled and the crowd erupted with cheers. She started singing 'Phoenix' then she sang 'History'. "Thank you AMF!!" she yelled and ran off stage. Uma and Harry went on stage. "How you doing bro?" Uma asked. "Actually I'm freaking out sis" he replied. "And why is that?" She asked. "Because SHAWN MENDES IS IN THE HOUSE!!!" he yelled and Shawn came on stage. "You're the one freaking out? Thomas, dude I love your show" he said. They turned around. "I–you watch my show?" Harry asked. "Uh yeah I love it" he replied. It was all just an act. "YESS!!!" Harry yelled. "Whoa what was that?" Uma asked. "I'm so happy. Because Bethan owes me 20 bucks! YOU HEAR THAT BETHAN?!!" He yelled and everyone laughed. "Ok.... Bro, calm down let's go..... " Uma said and they came off stage. "Hey by the way when you go back to shoot tell Bethan I miss her so much. Oh and Jayden, and Sophie, basically your whole cast. Oh and Bethan still has my bracelet so can you take it for me?" I said and he laughed. "Yes I will" he replied. We watched Shawn and Camila perform their songs. He sang 'Treat You Better' and 'Mercy' then he sang 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' with Camila. We cut to commercial. We all went inside the ballroom while the others that were in the ballroom went to introduce the next performers. "I'm so happy we were able to do this" I said. "Me too" he replied and kissed my hand. We got in the ballroom and we ate a snack. "Ouff huge crowd out there" Charlie said. "Yup. You should start heading out. You're with the next batch performing" I told him. Beyonce, Bebe Rexha, Drake, Brigit Mendler, Selena, Charlie, Meghan and Jordan all left and went back stage. Beyonce sang 'Halo' and 'Sandcastles' (but the shorter version because its too long). Bebe sang 'I Got You' and 'In The Name Of Love'. Drake sang 'Hotline Bling', 'One Dance' and 'Fake Love'. Brigit sang 'Ready Or Not'. Selena sang 'Revival' , 'It Ain't Me' and 'We Don't Talk Anymore' with Charlie. Charlie sang with Selena and Meghan 'Marvin Gaye'. Meghan was just a guest singer for that one song only. And Jordan sang 'All About Us' and 'Lookin Like That'. I started getting ready once Meghan and Charlie performed. Evie reapplied my makeup and did my hair quickly. "Ready?" Ben asked and put his hands on my shoulders. He massaged them. I nodded. "Baby, come" he said and took my hands and lead me to the door where no one would hear us. "There's nothing to be nervous about. You've performed in front of this many people, even more! You've got this" he said and kissed me softly. I nodded. "Thank you" I replied. It cut to commercial. "Dove that's our cue" Ryan said. I nodded and we went outside. They ended the commercial. I grabbed two mics and gave one to Ryan. "These next two performers haven't performed in front of a live audience in 5 years! Please welcome, The Girl And The Dreamcatcher!!" Lonnie said and her and Chad walled off stage. The crowd was going wild. We both laughed. "Wow I actually really missed this" Ryan said. "I know me too. I haven't performed in a while" I replied. Our song 'Make You Stay' started. We walked around stage. We finished singing and we started singing our next song 'My Way'. We walked around in the crowd. We finished singing and we went back on stage. "So fun little fact about our next song..... It took us about, how long would you say Ryan? 4-5 months?" I asked. "Yeah about that. It took super long to write and this is why this one's our favorite" he said and the music started. We sang and I walked off stage. He stayed on stage and performed 'When You Went Away' and 'Everything'. "Good luck" I told Ariana and she went on stage. She sang 'Break Free' , 'Into You' and 'Dangerous Women'. "Next up... SABRINA CARPENTER!!" Evie and I yelled from backstage. She walled on state and started singing 'Thumbs' , 'On Purpose' and she sang 'Wildside' with Evie. "Please welcome, SOFIA CARSON" she yelled and Evie walked on stage and they sang their song. "WHOOOO" I yelled. They finished and Evie sang her song 'Back To Beautiful'. While she was singing, I was getting ready to go on with her. "You guys are all coming in near the end right? To do our cool jewel thing?" I asked. "Yup" Ben replied. She finished and I went on stage. "We wrote this song together and we are finally debuting it to the whole world. Here's Better Together" She said and smiled at me. I smiled back and we bumped hips and the music started.
