As they arrived in Auradon Lily was amazed, after all, all she's ever known was a crumbling, barely surviving pirate ship and isle. She couldn't believe how complete and nice Auradon looked, like she was in a fairytale. All the stone houses and trees, it was a dream.

As they came to the castle there was people holding welcome signs, a band playing, and people greeting them all around. The driver came around as Jay and Carlos toppled out of the car, fighting over something they didn't know.

"Stop!" Carlos screamed as Jay put a foot on his chest, planting him on the ground. "You got everything else, why do you want whatever this is?" Carlos questioned as the band stopped playing and people stopped greeting. Lily stepped out of the car, grimacing over the boys. "Because you want it." Jay answered.

"Boys, stop it. Now!" Lily commanded as she shoved Jay's chest, letting Carlos loose. "No!" Carlos screamed. "Guys we have a audience." Mal stepped forward. "Just cleaning up." Jay smiled at fairy godmother. "Get up." Jay pulled Carlos up.

"Leave it like you found it. And by that, I mean just leave it. " Fairy godmother said as the prince stepped behind her, Jay tossing the unknown item back into the car. "Hello Foxy. The names Jay." Jay said to Audrey as he stepped forward, smirking as Audrey laughed at him.

Lily grimaced as she pulled on Jay's top, "Don't." She rolled her eyes, Jay raising his hands in defense as he sighed. "Welcome to Auradon Prep. I'm fairy godmother. Headmistress." Fairy godmother said as she smiled, Jay's face dropping.

"The Fairy Godmother? As in bibbidi-bobbidi-boo?" Mal questioned, making a wand waving gesture. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi you know it." Fairy godmother answered. "Yeah, I always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella, when you just appeared out of nowhere, with that sparkly wand and warm smile. And that sparkly wand." Mal emphasized.

"That was a long time ago. And as I always say, Don't focus on the past or you'll miss the future." Fairy Godmother said, making gestures as Mal eyes widened.

"So good to finally meet you all. I'm Ben." The prince stepped forward. "Prince Benjamin. Soon to be king." Audrey spoke up. "You had me a prince." Evie stepped forward "Evie.." Lily stifled a laugh. "My mom's a queen. Which makes me a princess." Evie continued as she bowed.

"The evil queen has no royal status here and neither do you." Audrey said as Evie's face dropped and Ben chuckled. "This is Audrey." Ben said as Evie stepped back. "Princess Audrey. His girlfriend. Right, bennyboo?" Audrey intervened, grabbing Ben's hand. "Ben and Audrey are going to show you all around and I'll see you tomorrow. The doors of wisdom are never shut. But the library hours are from eight to eleven. And as you may have heard, I have a little thing about curfews. " Fairy godmother spoke up as she separated Ben and Audrey's hands., Lily smiling at her. Fairy godmother walked away as they all laughed politely at her, the band following her.

Ben stepped forward, an awkward silence filling the air for a moment. "It is so, so, so good to finally meet you all." Ben moved to shake Jay's hand but was instead met with Jay's fist on his chest, Jay and Ben smiling at each other. Ben moved over to Mal, pausing for a slight second before moving over to Carlos, "This is a momentous occasion and one that I hope will go down in history." Ben said as he shook Carlos's hand.

As Ben took his hand off of Carlos, he licked his thumb, "Is this chocolate?" He questioned as Carlos licked his finger, Lily slightly laughing as Ben moved over to Evie, shaking her hand but glancing at Lily. "as the day our two peoples began to heal." Ben said as he shook Lily's hand, Lily sending a bright smile towards him.

Ben stopped as he looked at Lily, almost like he was analyzing her. Lily, feeling slightly uncomfortable because he didn't do this to any of the others. She saw the smirk he gave her that once again she didn't see him give any of the others. Even though she felt slightly uncomfortable there was something about him that made her feel safe, that was the only way she could explain it.

"Or the day that you showed four peoples where the bathrooms are." Mal broke whatever was happening between Ben and Lily. Even though it had only been a second it felt longer to Lily. "A little bit over the top?" Ben said as he moved back over to Mal. "A little more than a little bit." Mal replied as they both chuckled. "Well, so much for my first impression." Ben said as he smiled and took a slight glance back at Lily.

"Hey! You're Maleficent's daughter, aren't you. Yeah, you know what?" I totally do not blame you for your mother trying to kill my parents and stuff." Audrey stepped forward as Ben lowered his head, slightly embarrassed. "Oh, my mom's Aurora. Sleeping-

-Beauty." Mal cut Audrey off. "Yeah, I've heard the name. You know, and I totally do not blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world, but my mother to their stupid christening." Mal continued. "Water under the bridge." Audrey spoke. "Totes!" Mal replied as they both forced a chuckle as they both sigh.
