I got dressed for Family Day in the most goody-goody outfit I could find. An aqua dress that had a see through bet on my shoulders and chest, aqua flats that had some of my toes showing. I kept my white hair out and grabbed an aqua purse. I shoved my spell book into my purse, for emergencies. I was dreading this. A whole day surrounded by goody-two-shoes and their family's is my worst nightmare. We got to the courtyard where Family Day was being held and noticed that Ben was singing.

Everyone -

We tell jokes! I do tricks

With my fellow candlesticks

And it's all in perfect taste

That you can bet

Come on and lift your glass

You've won your own free pass

To be our guest

Ben -

If you're stressed

It's fine dining we suggest

Everyone -

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest!

During the song I had snagged a cherry and eaten it. I was watching Ben take a photo with his parents. I saw Ben was looking at me so I waved. "Sophia!" He called out. I left Mal and Evie and went over to him. The look on the King and Queen's faces told me everything. I quickly walked over to Ben, trying not to run. "Sophia. I want you to introduce you to my parents." Ben came and gave me a hug once the photo was taken. Ben turned back to his parents but kept his hand in mine. "Mum, Dad, this is Sophia, from the island, my girlfriend."

"Hi!" Queen Belle greeted with a smile on her face,

"Hi." I said politely. King Beast just waved.

"I was thinking maybe she could join us for lunch." Ben suggested,

"Of...Course." King Beast said hesitantly, "Any friend of Ben's-"

"I, uh, I actually came with my friends." I pointed to them, "Would it be ok if they joined us Your Majesties?" I asked,

"Well, you should invite them." Queen Belle replied, shocked that I was so polite. "Because the more the merrier!" She elaborated. King Beast looked down at her.

"Ok. I'll go ask them." I started to walk off but Ben stopped me,

"How about a game of croquet before lunch?" King Beast asked,

"Huh, of course!" I had no idea how to play but they were the King and Queen so I had to suck up to them.

"Game on!" Be said, fist bumping his father,

"Game on..." King Beast replied. Ben put an arm around me as we walked away,

"Have you played before?" Ben asked,

"No." I said quickly,

"No? You'll be fine." He assured. I am terrible at croquet. So I stood with my hands on the croquet stick watching Ben play. Then, a man with a white beard approached me,

"Why, hello there." He greeted, he adorned a crown made out of corral.

"Hello." I said politely, looking up at him since he was quite tall.
