The Tour

Transformation Conversation

Author's POV
So the next place they visit is not technically owned by Disney. It's owned by Dreamworks but I still felt that they should visit it, besides I love the movies. Anyone have any ideas of where?

Now Mal I have a very important question for you."

"Yes Queen Ariel." Mal said a bit apprehensive. "It's about your dragon transformation, how many times have you done it?"Ariel asked. "Once so far." Mal replied. "So in the battle against Uma that was your first transformation?" Ariel asked. "Yes." Mal replied. "I see. Did you experience any pain changing into your inner dragon or when you changed back?" Arie asked. "No not really. Why?" Mal asked. "Well whenever I changed into a human it was excruciating, which according to my father, King Triton, was completely normal as it was my first time changing my form, but you didn't." Ariel said. Mal didn't know what to say at first so she just picked at her food noticing that everyone was listening to her and Ariel's conversation. "Could it be because I'm a villain kid?" Mal asked, somewhat bitterly because all she needed was another reminder that she and her friends were not like everyone else. "No I don't think so, from what I've read it hurt your mother the first time she transformed." Ariel said. Mal and everyone else gasped, never had she or the others heard of her mother being vulnerable enough to experience any type of pain. "Really? I never thought my mother was capable of feeling pain or anything else but anger, really." Mal said. "Anyone can feel pain Mal, no matter how tough or evil they may be." Ariel said. "So why do you think Mal didn't feel pain then?" Carlos asked curiously. "Well the first and most obvious theory would be the adrenaline rush she was experiencing at the time, but I'm not 100% sold on that theory." Ariel said. "Why not?" Ben asked. "Because when you think of it I'm sure Maleficent was pumped full of adrenaline when she first transformed as well but it still hurt. And I was full of adrenaline when I changed as well." Ariel explained."Then what would you say it is?" Ben questioned. "Well my other theory has something to do with Mal's emotions at the time, but I won't know for sure until I talk to my father. Why don't we all take a boat out to sea above Atlantis where my father rules and ask him to swim up to surface so we can speak to him." Ariel suggested. "Ok, I've always wanted to meet King Triton, I just never thought I would get to, because one I never thought I'd be able to get off the Isle and two he's a merman." Jay said causing everyone to laugh. "Right so why don't we show you all to your rooms? Eric you can show the boys their rooms and I'll show the ladies to theirs." Ariel said. "Yes dear." Eric replied. " Great so ladies if you want to say goodnight to your boyfriends you'd better do it now you are on opposite ends of the castle, we had a last minute influx of female staff which we had to house on the same wing as Mal's, Evie's, Lonnie's and Jane's rooms."Ariel said. "Ok thank you." Mal said. Mal grabbed Ben by his shirt smashing his lips against hers causing him to jerk in surprise then he melted into the kiss. For once they weren't interrupted by Jay or any of the  others because they were all in a similar situation with their partners. However, they were interrupted by the king and queen who cleared their throats. "Good night Ben I love you." Mal said before slowly turning away from him and heading to her and the other girls rooms. "I love you too." Ben said before walking with the guys to their rooms.

          Girl's Wing

"So Mal I heard you and Evie liked sharing a room, so I went ahead and arranged for you two to be in the same room." Ariel said. "Thank you your highness that's very thoughtful of you." Evie said, sincerely. Even after being in Auradon for over 4 years it was still hard for the VK's to accept acts of kindness. "It was no problem, and Jane and Lonnie are going to be in the room next to you girls. The two rooms are conjoined so if you need to talk you can always do so without having to go through the main hallway." Ariel stated. "Thanks again your highness." Evie said. "You are all very welcome have a good night." Ariel said, leaving them for the night. "So who wants to hang out with me and Evie tonight? We aren't that tired yet." Mal stated. "Yes! Girl's night!" Lonnie and Jane said at the same time. The four girls then went into the room for a girl's night.

             Boy's Wing

"Alright fellas, this is where I leave you. Ben, you and Doug will be sharing a room that conjoins with Jay's and Carlos's room. So if you guys wanted to brag about your girlfriends to each other or, whatever you boys do nowadays you won't have to walk through the main hallway." King Eric said. Ben and the boys chuckled at the king's remark about their girlfriends. "Goodnight, your highness and thank you for hosting us." Ben, ever the king said." Oh it was no problem really, honestly you and your friends are some of the most entertaining guests Ariel and I have had in a long time. Usually, we just get the stuffy, pompous fools like the Beauty family, Queen Leah's glares still give me nightmares." Eric said shivering. "Goodnight boys I will see you all tomorrow." King Eric said walking away, his steps echoing through the large hallway. "Alright, do you guys want to hang out some more or go to bed?" Jay asked. "Let's hang out for a little longer in Ben's room I'm not tired just yet." Carlos said. "Alright my room it is guys." Ben said. And with that the four boys went to Ben's room for the night.
