to love a deity • descendents [one]

three|

    THE flight to Auradon was extremely quiet. Just a few hours ago our parents were kissing all of us goodbye as we watched as the maids and butlers loaded our luggage onto the private jet. Zoe was the only person who did not seem too into the whole goodbye kisses. She's been spaced out since the announcement. Again, I feel for her deeply.

    Dylan and I sat across from each other sipping on mango smoothies as the twins attempted to prep their faces full of makeup. Like they even needed it. Zoe sat further back in the jet staring out the window listening to her headphones. I'm sure this Prince Ben guy will be quite the catch.

    "Any thoughts before we land?" I spoke up looking over at the twins then Dylan.

    Dylan took a break from his smoothie before he readjusted his olive green suit jacket. Another requirement by our parents. We were to look presentable on our first day in Auradon. Though we couldn't wear our crowns. We were told it would be disrespect towards the King and Queen to wear our crowns while on campus. So, they replaced our crowns with jewelry. Dylan received one of the most beautiful chains I have ever seen. As for the girls and I, we received something different.

   Beginning with Zoe, mom gave her a green diamond ring in the shape of a crown. Jasmin received a golden bracelet with green diamonds embedded all over. Giselle asked for a barrette. The rim was gold of course with a green diamond in the shape of a baby frog with a sparkling crown on its head centered in the middle. The frog symbolized dad. I was given a cute necklace. Golden of course and the green diamond was in the shape of my mother wearing her iconic green ball gown as she held my dad as he was in frog form in her hands leaning in to kiss him.

    Very thoughtful and creative alternates I'll say. My siblings and I continued to sit in silence waiting to land in Auradon. There was nothing to be said. We didn't know anything about this place or what to expect when we stepped foot off of this jet. But, thankfully Zoe decided to break the silence.

    "Do you guys think what we're doing is for the good of our kingdom?" She continued to stare out of the window.

    The question made the twins stop looking in there travel size mirrors. Dylan turned in his chair to face her as I stood behind him to get a better view of my sister.

    "Honestly Zo, I truly believe that dad wouldn't have accepted this proposal if it wasn't." Dylan answered.

    "And if this arranged engagement doesn't work out, you heard what mom said. They'll come here themselves to take us back home." Jasmin reassured.

    Giselle moves from her previous seat on the jet to sit next to Zoe. "In the meantime, let's make the most of this trip. I was doing some research and apparently Auradon Prep is filled with people just like us."

    My eyes widened slightly. "You mean there's more of us? A school for Princes and Princesses?"

    Giselle nodded. "The daughters and sons of very well known and famous Kings and Queens attend Auradon."

    Jasmin sat up excited. "You mean like descendents of royals like Aladdin and Jasmine?"

    "Most def. We just so happen to be the newest rich kids stepping into the scene. The students there probably didn't even think our parents even had any kids." 

  I scoffed. "Oh please. Are you guys forgetting that Dylan's love toy attends Auradon. She probably went on a spree telling everyone she knows that we're coming to Auradon. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw a celebration as we arrive."

    "I wouldn't be too sure about that." Zoe laughed.

    I took my seat and continued to drink my smoothie. Dylan went to check with our pilot for an update. He came back to his seat informing us that we were about to land in less than fifteen minutes. I straightened out my skirt before putting my seatbelt on.
