At around 3 pm that day, our guests went home to prepare for the Halloween party that started at seven. Four hours seems like a lot of time to you, doesn't it? Well, not in Auradon. That's how long it takes every girl and boy to get ready for a big event. "Bye guys, see you tonight," I said to Jaz and Gabbie before being pulled off by Esmay and Lola. "Guys, I have legs that can make me faster, you know! Stop it! We have four hours to the party." I told them, trying to free myself from their grips. "Exactly!" The thirteen and twelve-year-old girls exclaimed at me before getting Lumiere to bring their costumes up to my bedroom. Ugh, I'm stuck in this world of girly stuff for the next four hours! If I'm not still here in two hours, call 999.
~~Small time skip of an hour and a half~~
Ok, ok! Put the phone down because I am still alive!
"Charlotte, do you know where the spray is for your hair?" Esmay asked as Lol put my hair in bunches. trying not to nod my head, I replied, "Mmm-hmm. It should be in the bathroom. They look like spraypaint bottles." Esmay nodded and went into the bathroom, returning with the bottles of hair colouring spray. "Ok, whilst Lola makes your hair the right colours, I'm going to do your makeup. Sit still, ok?" Esmay told me. I nodded and did as she said so that my makeup was right. I heard the spray cans and then felt Lola lifting my hair up to get all of it. Well, half the pigtail, you know what I mean! Once Lola finished one pigtail, she picked up the other can and started on the other. Esmay had finished my makeup as well, so I was literally waiting on Lola so I could put my costume on. "Lola, hurry up! I wanna put on my costume." I whined, making her giggle. "Ok, ok. There, done. Ok, me and Esmay are going to get ready now. We have two hours left, so hurry up!" She told me. I nodded and went over to my costume and started putting it on.
It took me all of five minutes to get ready, so I just sat on the bed for the next three hours whilst Esmay and Lola got ready. As I waited, my phone started ringing and I saw it was Dad.
C-Charlotte
B-BenC-Yeah, Dad?
B-Your mum is having trouble with her outfit, and Evie suggested you come and help. They want the costume to be a surprise, so I'm not allowed to see.
C-Ok. Are they in Evie's room?
B-Yeah. I'll let them know you'll be there soon. Also, you haven't seen Esmay and Lola, have you?
C-Yes I have. They're both in my room because they wanted me to be ready first.
B-Ok. Doug and Jay have been searching for the past hour and a half.
C-Well, they haven't been abducted by aliens just yet. I'll be down now, bye.
B-Bye.I ended the call and picked up my bat. "Gotta go, see you girls at the party!" I called before leaving. Running down the stairs, I headed to Evie's room as fast as I could. When I reached it, I could hear Mum and her fussing over something. "Ok, I'm here-wow!" I exclaimed when I saw what was going on. They couldn't get the dress over Mum's head! "Help us!" Evie asked desperately. Nodding, I walked over and we tried to get it over Mum's head together. "Why did you pick this costume?" Mum asked me as we finally got it on her. "Because it's Halloween themed and I love the movie. Now, put the rest on and I'll meet you with Dad." I replied before hugging them both and going into Dad's bedroom.
He was sat at his desk, doing some work on his laptop. "Really? It's Halloween and you're working?" I ask, leaning over his shoulder. He laughed and turned to look at me. "Nice costume. I'm glad it fits." He smiled when he saw how I looked. (I'll add a pic of what she looks like at the bottom of the page. If I find one I like) I twirled and put my bat on my shoulder, posing for him. "Thanks, Dad. The funny thing is, Jason is going as the Joker." I smiled, giggling slightly as I imagined his face when he sees me. Dad laughed again and replied, "Don't torture him, ok? Anyway, did you help your Mother?" I nodded my head and looked at his laptop. "Why are you looking at facts on the people of Wonderland?" I asked. He looked at the laptop and then put the screen down. "No reason."
"Dad, tell me."
"Ok, I was trying to find more information on everyone in Wonderland."
"Why?"
"I want to see if I can persuade them to take back their kids."
"One, the Queen of Hearts is still trying to get Hannah back. But because she's on a triple life sentence from her sister, there's no chance of that happening. Two, all the other wonderlanders have their kids but Hannah and me. And three, why would we want to go back to them anyway? They left us in the orphanage for a reason you know. We weren't wanted. Well, Hannah is a different story, but I know I wasn't wanted."
"Charlotte, you were wanted-"
"Then why did I spend six years without a family!? Seven years without somewhere to call home. I waited long enough for him, but its no use! They don't want us back, Dad. There's no point trying!"
I stood there breathing heavily, any sanity I had at that precise moment slowly fading. You see, Cheshire's are known to 'not be all there'. We're basically insane. I looked up at Dad and then turned from him. "I gotta go. I'll meet you and Mum later." I told him before walking out. How come every time me and Dad are alone together we argue?
Ben's POV
As Charlotte walked away, I heard her think aloud, "How come every time me and Dad are alone together we argue?" I felt angry at myself. But I had the same question in my head. I can't be that bad, can I? My phone buzzed and I saw a message from Mal. "Ready when you are." It said. I sighed and quickly replied, "Just had an argument with Charlotte. Can you guys find her before she does anything crazy?" I got a thumbs up back and a sure. Then I got up and quickly sprayed my hair with that colour spray Dizzie gave me, put some white face paint on any visible skin and left the room to meet everyone in the entrance hall. Tonight should be going without any troubles, but if me and Charlotte continue to argue, I can see that idea going down the drain.
Hope this was ok. I lost my train of thought for this because I have two other descendants books to write as well as this. Oh, I didn't find a picture I liked for her costume, sorry! The next chapter should be longer and better than this, so I'll cya then! Bai!
