LII: Proposal
(Tell me why I legit forgot to add this whole ass section in this chapter!? LIKE TF LMAOO)
The days stretched on lazily as the summer sun bathed Auradon Prep in its warm embrace. Priscilla and Carlos were on the brink of their final year in high school, and the allure of a never-ending summer break was too enticing to pass up
Since Jay had graduated and moved on to new adventures, Carlos now had a dorm room all to himself. The same with Priscilla, her former roommate, whom she had barely seen, had also graduated, leaving her with the dorm room. They decided to make the most of this unusual setup and enjoyed the luxury of having separate rooms to themselves for the rest of the summer
Priscilla had been eyeing the little cottages like the one Evie lived in. She planned to have a cottage as a starter home after she graduates, to enjoy her own private space just like Evie is. But for now, she was content with the camaraderie of the dorms and the company of her boyfriend
On this particular morning, the couple have been awake in Carlos's bed, wrapped in each other's arms. The hours had slipped by unnoticed, as they reveled in the comfort of their shared warmth. They lay there, cuddled together
Carlos finally broke the silence as he sat up, gently brushing a strand of hair from Priscilla's face "We can't stay in bed forever, as much as I'd love to. Today's a big day, and we've got responsibilities."
Priscilla sighed and nuzzled closer, her voice barely more than a whisper "Do we have to get up? I could stay like this all day."
Carlos chuckled and planted many loving kisses on her temple "I know, but we promised to be there when Ben propose to Mal. Plus, we have to pick up the new kids who'll be joining us in Auradon. It's an important day" He gave her a peck on the mouth, and Priscilla was quick to kiss back before she slightly leaned away looking at him in the eyes
"Do you really have to go?" Priscilla whined against Carlos' lips. Carlos pressed a lingering kiss to your lips "We" He quickly corrected her before he continued
"You know how much this means to Ben if we go" He smiled at her, and Priscilla couldn't hold herself back from smiling as well "Mmm, are you sure? I mean do we really have to go to Isle to pick up the k-" She started to tease but Carlos was quick to cut her off
"We have to go" Carlos gave her an assuring smile. "I don't want Ben and the isle kids to think we're not taking this seriously" He sighed
"Okay, okay. Just making sure" She leaned in and pressed kisses to his jawline. "I will say, I do love your dedication, really I do. I just want to make sure I'm getting my Carlos time"
"You'll get it," Carlos chuckled devilishly. "I'm yours after this amazing things that we are doing, I promise."
"I don't know how I'll contain myself." Priscilla dramatically whined in a teasing manner, the back of her hand on her forehead. Carlos pressed one more lingering kiss to her lips, causing her to moan sensually against his lips, her hand going to the side of his face
"Wish we could stay," he mumbled. "I guess I'll just have to reward my good girl afterward"

Priscilla's heart raced with anticipation as she stood beside her sister, Audrey, who had recently returned from her extended vacation. Chad was with the family right behind Priscilla and Audrey. The four were in front of the formed crowd gathered in front of Auradon Prep garden, right behind a bush that was separating them from the platform that was in front of them. Priscilla's fingers were interlocked, and she bounced slightly on her feet, unable to contain her excitement
Audrey, on the other hand, was a stark contrast to Priscilla's enthusiasm. She looked as though she'd rather be anywhere but in this public space, her apprehension clear in her facial expression. The impending event had Audrey on edge, and she seemed to want nothing to do with whatever Ben had planned
Priscilla couldn't wait for the reactions of everyone else, aside from her sister, when they realized that Ben was about to propose to Mal on the grand platform before them. It was a moment that Priscilla had helped plan with Evie, and she couldn't be prouder of the effort they had put into making it unforgettable. She knew that her sister Audrey and Grammy were not as thrilled as she was about the spectacle, but it didn't dampen her spirits
As the crowd gathered in anticipation, Priscilla made a silent decision to herself. She decided to move away from her sister and Grammy and join the three other VKs with the Auradon Prep band when Ben would began to sing toward Mal. She wanted to be free to fully enjoy the moment and share in the joy of her friends. This was a memory she wanted to treasure, and she couldn't wait to see the reactions of everyone who didn't know, especially the purplenette when she realized what is happening
SoonMal and Ben started to make their way as the band started to play their instruments. The couple waved to the crowd. Priscilla clapped her hand excitingly with a big smile as the crowd clapped, cheered, and waved
their flags
Mal was the first to step onto the platform with Ben closely behind. She continued to walk across it but Fairy Godmother was quick to stop her. The couple stood at the platform and continued to wave at everyone
Fairy godmother put the golden microphone up to her lips "Bibbity-Bobbity, One, two, one, two. Can everybody hear me?" She asked through the microphone as she turned looking at everyone. Everyone cheered in response. Fairy Godmother called for the young young and handed the mic to him "Thank you, Fairy Godmother" Ben told her through the mic
Ben let out a sigh as he put down the microphone for a quick second. He had a smile on his face before he let out a chuckle "What's up, Auradon?"' He semi-yelled to the mic getting cheers in return "Thank you. Thank you for coming out to welcome our new arrivals. They'll be here soon"
The Grandmother of Audrey and Priscilla leaned
Closer to the girls "Not like we had a choice" she muttered under her breath. Priscilla looked at the older woman "Grammy" Priscilla called her name with a slight warning in her voice. The older woman was not going to ruin this exciting day for the Princess. She soon followed with everyone else and clapped her hand with the rest of the crowd around her
"It worked out pretty well for the first four" Ben stated, a few kids let out a laugh at his words. Chad let out a chuckle as well, "Yeah, especially for you" Audrey snapped her fingers in front of his face "Really funny" She said Sarcastically with a matching smile. She glanced at the blonde before rolling her eyes, her eyelids fluttering repeatedly
Priscilla looked at her older sister, placing a hand on her arm but Aurdrey was quick to shrug her off, surprising Cilla at the action. She bit her tongue and went to face the couple before her
Ben faced Mar grabbing her hand with his free one
"Mal, this is the exact spot we first met not so long ago" Ben spoke to her, the two keeping eye contact with each other "I feel like I've known you my whole life" He continued, trying to stop himself from smiling widely as he took a pause
"But did I mention, I'm in love with you?" He questioned in a cheesy way. Priscilla took this as her sign and departed from Audrey and her grandmother before they could say anything to her, joining Doug and Evie as Doug played the familiar tune with his guitar. Everyone awed at them as Mal laughed covering her face
Carlos, Jay, Jane, and Fairy Godmother all joined with the three and they started to harmonize with each other as Ben started to sing to Mal. Priscilla looked up at her boyfriend and let out a laugh seeing him wearing Doug's band hat "I met this girl that rocked my world like it's never been rocked"
Evie snapped her fingers as Doug continued to play the guitar "And now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop" Mal and Ben spun around in their spot as Ben continued to sing "I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me" Mal chuckled as she placed a hand on his cheek, She looked at her friends then to the crowd at behind her
As she was turned away from Ben reached for his back pocket "But now look at what you've done you got me down on my knee" Once Mal turned back around to Ben She saw him get down on one knee as he sang the lyric. Ben passed the microphone to Carlos as he pulled out a purple ring box, Priscilla slightly squealed at the sight. Mal covered her mouth in shock as she watched Ben
"Mal, it's you and me. It's you and me forever. Will you marry me?" He finally asked the question, he opened the box revealing the ring to Mal. Everyone gasped at the question, Priscilla held on to Carlos' arm in excitement, and Carlos placed his hand on top of hers as they waited for Mal to answer him
"Will you be my Queen?"
Mar let out a gasp at the sight right as Audrey let out a distraught "No!" but Mal's answer was the opposite "Yes" She answered him, making everyone yell excitedly. Priscilla jumped up and down as she yelled, clapping her hands repeatedly. She turned to Carlos right in time to see him chest bump with Beast. She laughed at the sight and covered her mouth as Carlos apologized to him
Carlos turned to Priscilla, his mouth wide open in shock at what he just did, and let out a laugh. Priscilla shook her head at him and continued to laugh at him. She grabbed him by the Face "You're ridiculous" She laughed, and Carlos joined in her laugh bringing her in a hug.
Priscilla hugged him back tightly, swaying side by side, She let go of him and started to kiss him all over his face before planting her lips into his. Unbeknownst, to the conversation her Grammy and Audrey were having
"A lifetime of plans, gone" Grammy started directly at Audrey even if she was facing away from the now blonde. The Older Woman turned to her first grandchild "Our family Status, gone. Audrey, you were supposed to be his Queen, and you let him slip through your fingers"
"Audrey looked looked down at the ground as her
Grandmother Continued "Your mother could hold onto a prince in her sleep" Grammy turned her head to look at her youngest grandchild who was still celebrating with the others about Ben and Mal's engagement with Carlos' arm the jumpy girl
"'Even your sister could hold onto a man. Even if he's a Villain from the Isle, don't follow in her footsteps" She said with a bit of distaste in her words. Audrey rolled her eyes sightly, "Don't you think I feel bad enough already, Grammy?"
The two girls behind Audrey were gushing about Ben and Mal making Audrey roll her eyes at them and she inhaled deeply trying to stay calm down but she turned
around facing the two girls "You really rather have a VK on the throne than me?" Audrey snapped at them, the girls stayed silent at her question and blankly just started at the blonde
"What is wrong with you people?" Audren asks before turning around and looking up at the big screen at Mal and Ben. She shook her head slightly at them before looking away "What is wrong with everybody?" She asks no one in particular
Mal rushed down the steps to Evie and Priscilla as the boys celebrated themselves. Mal hugged Priscilla first, and they both squeezed tightly with excitement before Mal moved on to Evie "What? Did you Know?" She asks both of the girls
"Everything!" Evie exclaims to her as they separate.
Evie placed her hand on Mal's cheek, Mal placed her hand on top of hers and leaned into it "You are going to rock that crown"
Mal let out a sigh and smiled. "Okay, So I've done about 1,000 sketches of your wedding dress" Evie explained to Mal, grabbing both of her hands
Priscilla looked back at Ben's parents and then back to Mal before continuing for Evie "And Belle's already planned an engagement party next week" Priscilla slightly sang as the three of them walked towards the adults "Well it's a really good thing I said yes" Mal said as she walked towards Adam
"Hugs. Hi," He said as he and Mal hugged "Hugs. Hi" Mal copied with a laugh then she moved to Belle
hugging her as well "I finally get a daughter" Belle exclaimed excited, Priscilla placed a hand on her chest in a joking matter while mocking a defended look towards Belle "That hurt, Belle" She stated playfully, making Mal and Belle laugh as they departed from the hug
Priscilla watched Ben approach his father getting a Congrats from him. A Hand on her arm got her attention again, She turned to Belle "You're like a daughter to me, Cilla" She stated with a smile, she then placed a hand on Priscilla's Check "Well, I feel honored" Priscilla chuckled, her hand held Belle's hand that was on her cheek
'Whilst Mal is going to be my daughter-in-law, officially"
"I know, Belle" Priscilla nodded, Belle dropped her hand from Cilla's face and Mal was quick to grab both of Belle's hands and smiled at her "I love you, Belle"
She told her softly, making Belle slightly melt at her words "Aw, I love you"
Priscilla exchanged one last smile to Ben's parents as Mal moved on to Fairy Godmother giving her a hug. Priscilla went towards Carlos who stood with the others. Once she reached him he was quick to wrap his arm around her
Jay stepped towards Mal, "All bow to Her Royalness Majesty" He spoke loudly in an annoying accent, getting her attention. Evie and Carlos followed behind him as Priscilla stayed behind Carlos with a smile at their ridiculousness "Oh, yes, her Royal Purple-ness" Carlos continued as he took off the band hat he grabbed from Doug, the three Vks and Priscilla all bowed (and curtsied) to Mal in a playful manner as they laughed
Mal was quick to follow along with them and waved them off "Silence, you annoying peasants" Priscilla laughed at her as she stood straight along with the others "As you wish, my liege" Jay said with the accent as Mal walked away
"Your Crankiness," Carlos said as he put the hat back on his head. Evie hits Jay's arm as they all laugh together. Priscilla covered her mouth as she continued to laugh with them. Her eyes went to wherever Mal had gone and they landed to where Audrey and Mal were talking. Priscilla slowly stopped her laughter as she watched the two
Ben's voice woke her up from her trance and saw Mal walking up to the group again, Audrey stayed behind blinking rapidly. A purple limo with Mal's name on the driver's plate came around the corner. A small smile went back to Priscilla's face as she hugged Jane as a goodbye
She followed Carlos to the limousine, he stepped to the side of the car and let Priscilla in first making her give him a smile that said thank you. Soon Carlos followed behind her, Evie went in the limo right after the two then Mal and Ben as Jay took the driver's seat
