De Fragee Prutia

 "Isn't that right, Nami? Nami?!" Carlos called your name.

"Huh?!" The princess looked up from the work at the table. They were sitting outside at one of the picnic benches.

"Sorry guys, New Orleans paperwork. They're thinking of implementing Maldonian classes into the school curriculum and working their way into becoming a territory, all thanks to Padri...and you guys don't care."

"No, no it's fascinating really. Maldonian, New Orleans territory. We love that stuff." Jay said sarcastically.

"Chie Pelize," Nami muttered under her breath. (So annoying)

"Mi po tambssi parler pluta langues, Prutia." (I can speak multiple languages too, Princess)

Jay said with a smirk on his face. Nami's eyes went wide, nobody there but Ben knew Maldonian and even he only knew a few words here and there. Nami wanted to wipe the smug look off of Jay's face. Nami went to put the paperwork in her backpack when she saw the drawstring pouch.

"Right, I almost forgot. Happy birthday, Ben!"

Nami threw him the drawstring pouch of the rings. She had planned for them to wear the rings as couple rings but after the big incident she put all the rings in the pouch. Nami watched as Ben pulled the rings out of the bag.

"Oh these are really cool, Nami. Thanks. It looks like that one old bracelet you had." There was Ben, always the observer.

"Yeah. That was actually the thing for Audrey, I went to Doc. No biggie."

"Oh no. I haven't found anything for you yet. I mean, I had something but it was too romantic considering... I'll get you something good though, I promise."

"It's okay, Ben," Nami lied. "Don't worry about it."

"Are we missing something?" Mal asked.

"Nami and I are birthday twins."

"Oh it's your birthday too?! Well in that case we need cake!"

Mal whipped out her spell book and in no time a cake appeared on the table with 'Happy Birthday' written on it. Mal cut out a piece and gave the girl the first slice. Nami and the rest of the group ate the cake and talked about everything and nothing.

"NaNa, do you think you could find a time to show Mal the coronation process?"

"Hmm?"

"I've been talking to Fairy Godmother about it and we agreed for Mal to take over the coronation blessing from you."

"Oh, she doesn't have to, it's fine..." Mal interrupted.

"No, Mal it's cool. You're the girlfriend. It shouldn't be too hard. Only took me a week and half to master and I'm magically inclined. You're magic born, should take you like three days at the most. Don't worry about not getting it. Besides, you taking this is just one thing off my list as royal advisor so thank you." Nami smiled at her.

"Actually, about that... we have a meeting with my parents in the next week or so."

"About what, Ben? I thought we handled everything, including the budget. There shouldn't be anything left to do until next month."

"It's about transferring some powers, we can talk about this at the meeting."

"Sorry, Ben, but we really can't cause I'm not following. Didn't we already sign the papers. You and your dad signed the transfer of sovereignty last week and Belle and I signed as witnesses."
