A.N: Okay, so this is a new story since 1. I am having a bit of writers block, and 2. I LOVE descendants. I hope you enjoy. Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Gem.....at least in this story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get up Gem, we need to get fitted for our outfits this morning!" Even underneath my light blue quilt, I could still hear the booming voice of my best friend. Ever since I started to live in the castle with his parents, his shouting has been my daily wake-up call.
"Why don't you go by yourself?" For one split second I looked from beneath the covers to see Ben smiling down at me, dressed in a white dress shirt and jeans, with his brown hair neatly tamed and pale skin glistening. Now that he noticed that I was awake, the tugging war for my quilt began. This lasted for about 10 minutes until I gave up, tiredness getting the best of me.
"Get ready, my parents are expecting you to be at breakfast in 10 minutes." Ben says while having a mischievous grin on his face, his green eyes sparkling as if he was the God of Mischief himself.
"Oh my lamp! Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I dash off my queen-sized sapphire bed as quickly as I can, not caring that I was only in a white t-shirt, which belonged to Ben, and my genie underwear.
"G, did you really steal another one of my tops?" Ben asks knowingly, raising an eyebrow as I franticly search through my mahogany closet for suitable clothes.
"Steal is such a strong word, don't you think? I prefer the term 'borrowing without permission'." With that said I run into the bathroom, almost slipping on the pearly white tiles, causing Ben to stifle a laugh. I shut the door behind me, locking it before putting on the hot water.
"If you really want big shirts, you can always ask one of the maids." He shouts through the door.
"But then it wouldn't smell like you."
"And exactly what is my scent?"
"Chocolate chips." With that I opened the door causing the prince to fall on his royal butt. I had put on a blue and black crop top which had 'MAGIC', and my regular black skinny jeans with my sapphire flats that curled at the toe. I walk right up to my mirror, and with a snap of my fingers, my hair transforms itself from its bird's nest, to glorious pitch black, which fades to sapphire blue at the edges, curls that fall over my shoulders, reaching mid-back that complimented my caramel coloured skin perfectly.
"I'm always amazed whenever you do that..." Ben's jaw dropped in awe, although he had seen me do this trick more than a thousand times.
"I guess since magic is scarce now, it became something to be fascinated about," I thought. Now, as for accessories, I put on my miniature lamp earrings and had my 2 golden bracelets, which was complimented with many gems, that adorned each of my arms. Too bad they refused to come off though.
"Close your mouth Benny-boo, it's time to go."
"Don't ever call me that, please."
"And why not? Your girlfriend gets to give you nicknames but not your best friend? I am wounded!" To emphasise my point, I instantly put my hand over my heart while locking my bedroom door behind me. No matter how long I lived here, the halls still seemed to endless, like the velvet carpets could go on forever.
"..."
"Hey, what's wrong? You know I was just joking right?"
"Yea, but something happened last night that..."
"Another vision? Let me guess, it had a girl in it that you fell head over heels over?"
"What! Where did you get that idea? Why would it include..." I give him a look over my shoulders, "am I that obvious?"
"Sadly yes...so come on. Tell me what you saw! Tell me!"
"Over breakfast alright? It's kind of a lot to take in."
"Fine." Even though my lips were pout, I still agreed to his wishes. We had been friends before we even learned how to walk. My parents loved to travel the world and explore different places which no human could ever go to, therefore I became stuck here, befriending this person. After the longest while of me glaring at the back of Ben's head, and him shifting side to side, we finally came to the dining room, and with literally a second to spare. Being the gentleman he is, my best friend opened the door for me, making sure I was inside first before coming in and shutting them himself.
"Where are my parents?" Only when I look up do I notice the room is practically empty with only a few maids standing by the door, probably waiting for our arrival.
"Did we come too late? Ben I am so sorry I-"
"No it is not because of you my lady." I turn my head away from the prince to see a maid dressed in white, who bared a remarkable resemblance to Mrs. Potts.
"Must be one of her children." In my mind remembered that Mrs. Potts had a whole bunch of kids, so it wouldn't be a surprise that I see them.
"Then where are they?" For some reason Ben's eyes glisten in disappointment, probably because he wanted to talk to them about something. Either way, we walked to the big rectangular marble dining table and took seats next to each other while the maids left to bring us our breakfast.
"So, now are you ready to talk Ben?" I was never really sure about how sensitive to be at certain moments, so most times, I just let the whole thing fly over my head.
"Yea, but you have to promise me not to freak out." He replies. When people usually answer like that, you know that it's going to be pretty bad.
"Don't worry, I'm all ears." Just to prove my point, I proofed myself into a giant ear, and leaned up against him, causing the prince to burst with laughter.
"Alright, I get it. Now can you please change back? I can't take you seriously as an ear." The words that came out of his mouth were muffled with chuckles, but I still understood what he said. I changed back to my previous form and leaned against the table while in my chair.
"Well, I saw kids from the Isle of the Lost in Auradon, fitting in and everything. Also, there was this one girl..." he looked at my excited expression before he continued, "She had bright green eyes and she was amazing, and gorgeous, and-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, slow down lover boy. Now, I'm sure the girl is probably as amazing as you say, but how are you planning to get her all the way from there," I point outside in the direction of the island, "to here?"
"I want to invite some of the kids from there to come live in Auradon, just to give them a shot at a normal life, and she will be one of them."
"Cool, but did you figure out whose daughter she was?"
"..."
"Ben..."
"She's the daughter of Maleficent."
"Oh....OH." I put my head in my hands for a moment, making multiple of myself to massage my back, and pat my head, "You mean the super pysco evil queen's daughter?"
"Yep."
"...Alright"
"Alright?! You're sure that you are okay?"
"Yea. I've gotten over it," things like 'worrying', were never really my thing. Probably comes from my dad, "So who are the parents of the others?"
"Well there's Cruella De Vil," Not bad, "Evil Queen," I can handle that, "and...Jafar." I felt my blood grow cold. I felt a lot of insults rise from my throat, however I stopped and contemplated for a bit. This must be hard on him too, because he has no one on his side in this. His good heart and optimism are the only things keeping him going. Even though I was mad, I wouldn't degrade him more than he already is. Let us just see and wait how this plays out, besides, I don't have phenomenal cosmic powers for nothing.
"Alright, that's fine. I admire you for trying to do this, and I will stick with you every step of the way. Just, make sure none of them get a hold of me, especially Jafar's child"
"Never."
"You sure you can handle it?"
"I promise."
"Because I'm a girl you know, and frankly you are lacking in the muscle department."
"You know, I'm starting to think that giving you over won't be such a bad idea."
"You're going to leave a fragile, and defenceless girl to fend for herself?
"What fragile girl? All I see is a-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence," and the usual bickering continued on and on, even when our food arrived. Now, my only concern is how he was going to break the news to his parents.
