Alright. This is my first Descendants Fanfiction. I will still work on my others, but I had this idea and definitely wanted to try.
I don't own anything. Melody is a Disney character, I just made her my own, but she is not mine. Melody is from the Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea. In this she is just a few years older.
Hope you enjoy!
"So, you think this is a good idea?"
Prince Ben was nervous. This would be his first official proclamation weeks before he became the King of Auradon. His mother and father didn't even know yet of the proposal he was putting in front of them.
"I'm telling you, it's a great idea! Giving them a chance to live here with us may be a new turn for Auradon, Ben." Melody reassured her best friend, playing with the locket from her grandfather where the two sat, watching the waves crash against the shore.
Ben sighed, running a hand through his hair. "You know my mom and dad are going to hate the idea, right?" He told her, brown eyes meeting blue. Melody rolled her eyes, pushing her raven black hair from her face as the wind moved it.
"My mom and dad are going to hate it as well. We're in the same boat." She added. Ben was the son of Queen Belle and King Adam, while Melody was the daughter of Queen Ariel and King Eric. Both the families had been close and stuck by each other's side through the formation of Auradon and beyond. Ben and Melody had been child hood friends since they could remember, mainly because Melody wasn't a normal princess, and Ben was the only one that stuck by her side through thick and thin.
Now, with Ben becoming a king soon, he needed someone like Melody to stick by his side even closer. And Melody would always stick by his side, until the day she died.
Ben sighed once more, staring off into the vast ocean, before he groaned. "I'm late for my fitting. He's going to kill me." He grabbed up his bag and quickly tied his shoes back up, standing up and pulling Melody up with him. Melody sighed, grabbing her own shoes and looking at him.
"Don't worry. Grimsby can drive you. He's the fastest driver out there." She reassured him once again, both of them jumping off the dunes and back onto the board-walk, back towards her castle, her home. Ben chuckled.
"I'm going to tell them tonight. You should do the same. We can find out together." Ben told her as they headed off. She nodded, agreeing.
"This is a good idea. I promise." She added, bumping into him playfully. He sighed. He hoped this was a good idea.
"You're late. And what are you wearing?" Princess Audrey snapped, turning to look at the princess as she walked out of Auradon Prep and toward the front of the building.
Melody rolled her eyes as the princess. She was one of the most annoying girls here. "It's called clothes, Audrey. You should try it. Not every day is prom." Melody retorted, bouncing to the other side of Ben. She didn't wear dresses all the time. So a pair of blue jeans and an orange blouse was all that she needed, her gold shell locket on her neck. They had done it, they had managed to bring four children from the Isle of the Lost over to Auradon, to show that they weren't their parents at all.
Audrey scoffed and rolled her eyes, to which Melody chuckled. Audrey was Ben's boyfriend, and did not like Melody at all. But when she told Ben that she didn't like her and wanted her gone, Ben just laughed and continued hanging with her.
"Alright, you two. Easy. They're coming." He said as soon as the band began playing and the cheerleaders started up. There was too much pep in this place. Too much for her. She crossed her arms and waited as the limo slowly pulled up, carrying the four kids that were starting a new life here. Melody was excited to see what would happen next.
The door opened, and out tumbled two boys, fighting over what looked to be a computer or a blanket. Melody raised an eyebrow, before giggling. Audrey shot her a look, but she completely ignored it. The two girls walked out soon.
Carlos, son of Cruella De Vil. Jay, son of Jafar. Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen. And Mal, daughter of Maleficent. The four kids stood there, looking not as excited as everyone thought they would be.
"Leave it like you found it. As in just leave it." Fairy Godmother spoke, spooking Melody and making her jump. The woman loved to appear out of nowhere sometimes. The two boys dropped what they had and Jay picked up Carlos, setting the boy beside him.
Fairy Godmother started her speech, in which the villain kids just seemed to ignore. Melody couldn't help but smirk, standing there.
"This is Audrey. . ." Ben had started after introducing himself to the four once Fairy Godmother had gone.
"Princess Audrey. Ben's girlfriend. You must be Maleficent's daughter. I'm daughter of Aurora, Sleeping Beauty. You know I don't blame you for what your mother did to my mother. Water under the bridge." Audrey had spoken up, pushing Melody away as she had moved to speak to them.
"Totes." Mal had teased and Melody laughed then.
"You must ignore Audrey, all the princess stuff has gone to her head. If she's not careful, her crown won't fit anymore." She teased, and Audrey glared at her once more, but she ignored it.
"Wait, aren't you a princess?" Jay asked, looking at Melody. Melody turned, and immediately blushed. Okay, this was something new to her. Very new to her.
"Well, yeah. . . .I'm Melody. Daughter of Ariel and Eric. The little mermaid?" She told them.
"Were you a mermaid?" Carlos, the youngest of them, asked. Melody smiled.
"For a while. Saved my home from a seat witch. But that's all gone and past. Just a student here at the peppiest place in the planet." She joked, letting her voice go higher at the last words. Mal managed a smile, and Evie giggled.
Had she gotten the kids to warm up to her already?
"Anyway. My father created this place, in hopes that everyone could live in harmony." Ben had started, leading the others into Auradon Prep. He clapped his hands, making the statue of his father change into the beast. Carlos screamed, and Melody spun around.
"Carlos it's alright. My father wanted his statue to change to show that we can change." Ben quickly apologized, seeing the boy was terrified. Melody frowned, curiosity pulling at her. She didn't know how the Isle of the Lost was, or how they lived. The others went on in, but Carlos stood there. Melody sighed, before walking over.
"Hey, Carlos. It's alright. There's nothing to be afraid of here." She told him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Carlos turned to look at her, eyes wide. He looked back up at the statue, before clapping. It didn't change. She laughed.
"It only changes to Ben. Come on." She said, moing ahead. Carlos looked at her once more, before quickly scurrying after her.
She came in in time to see Audrey and Ben leave and Doug standing there, trying to name all of his uncles.
"Doug, I can take it from here. Why don't I take you guys to your dorms so that you can settle in?" She offered to the four kids, who nodded. She moved to the right side stairs as they went the other way.
"Guys!" She called, waving. They moved and then followed her. She dropped the boys off first, before walking Evie and Mal over to their dorm room.
"And here is ours. I hope you don't mind me being here as well. I finally have some room-mates." She said, clapping her hands together and looking at the two. Evie looked beyond excited, but Mal looked disgusted. "You guys can choose between those two beds. I have the one in the corner. There's two desk and a sewing machine. Don't know why we have that. . . "
"Do you mind if we do some re-decorating?" Mal asked quickly, staring at her. Melody faltered, before shrugging. The two girls moved, pulling the curtains closed on the windows, casting into shadow.
"Okay, that works." Melody said and smiled.
This would be fun.
