(Cringe! I wrote this when i was 12-13)
Mal's POV I woke up and checked the time. The party is in about 1 hour. Ben still has his arms wrapped around me. I turned around trying not to move too much. I kissed him to wake him up. His eyes slowly opened. "Mmmm... I miss getting waked up like that" he said and kissed me. "Common, let's go. The party is in an hour" I said trying to get up but he pulled me back down. "Just 5 more minutes" he whined. "Fine" I gave in. I lied down next to him facing him. He put his arms around me once more. I grabbed his shirt and pulled it towards me. I kissed him passionately but slowly. We did that for all 5 minutes. I broke away. "Times up. Let's go" I said and got out of bed. He caught my wrist. "Do we have to go?" He asked. " yes now common were gonna be late. I promise I'll make it up to you tonight" I said and kissed him one more time before getting ready. "I have a question. Did I leave any dresses here?" I asked him. "Yup. In the closet" he said and pointed. "Ok thanks!" I said and walked into the closet. I chose my favorite dress.

I put it on then walked out of the closet. I felt Ben staring at me the whole way to the bathroom. I got into the bathroom and started fixing my hair. Suddenly Ben came up from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder. He was looking at me in the mirror. I just kept fixing my hair. He spun me around with his hands still on my waist. I was now facing him. I giggled. I put my arms around his neck and he kissed me. He lifted me up and put me on the counter without breaking the kiss. His hands playing with my dress and my hands in his hair. He was kissing me hard but slowly. 2 minuteslater... We broke away and he went to get dressed. I bent over to put my mascara on. Ben came back in and got behind me. He pressed his body onto mine and reached for something. I looked at him in the mirror and he winked. I giggled. "You almost done?" He asked leaving the bathroom. "Yeah one sec" I replied. My hair was down and wavy and I put light pink eye shadow on with red lipstick. I walked out of the bathroom and put my heels on. Ben was waiting for me at the door. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. He opened the door and we walked out. He hand his hand on my waist. Timeskip : attherestaurant We got to the restaurant and there was a huge line up leasing all the way outside. "Well, looks like we'll be here for a while" I said and sighed. "Come with me" he said and took my hand. We basically cut right to the front. Everyone who saw us pass would bow. "My King, My Queen" the guy at the front said and bowed. "They're all at the back. Same room as always" he said. "Thank you" Ben said and lead me to the room. We saw the team waiting outside of the room. "So I have to wait out here but you go in. I'll see you later" he said quickly and kissed me. He went to join his team. Evie came up to me. "Afraid to walk in? Common let's walk in together" she said. I actually was. "Thanks E" I replied and hugged her. We linked arms and walked in. The DJ was saying everyone's name when they walked in and everyone was waiting for the team to come out so they were all looking at the door. "And please welcome the Queen" he said. Everyone was staring at me and bowed whenever I would pass them. I sat down at my seat next to Evie. It was complete silence. Everyone was shocked that I came back. And guess who came through the door. The royals. Ariel's son is on the team and well the rest of the parents' kids you know. They walked by me and glared at me. Theu sat down and it was complete silence. "I can't do this" I whispered in Evie's ear and ran out of the room. I ran past the team and they were all watching me. "Mal! Where are you going?!" Ben yelled. But I ran into the bathroom. Ben's POV After Mal went into the bathroom Evie came running out if the room. "Where is she?" She asked worried. I pointed to the bathroom. "Ok thx!" She said and ran inside the bathroom. 5 minuteslater... Evie came out of the bathroom without Mal. "She's coming out later. She just has to cool off first" she said and went back into the room. "and here's THE AURADON KNIGHTS!!" The DJ yelled and the room was filled with cheering. He said our names one by one and we walked into the room. I was last. "And now last but not least. Our winning goal. Our King Ben!" He said and I walked into the room waving. I sat down and we started eating. After about 5 minutes I started wondering where's Mal. "Where is she?" I whispered to Evie. "I don't know she said she had to cool off" she replied. The guy at the front desk barged into the room. Everyone was looking at him. "She's gone" he said and he looked at me. I stood up. "What?! Where?!" I asked him. "The isle" Evie,Carlos and Jay said softly. "Damn it Mal!" I slammed my hands on the table. "FG, please use your magic to pack us all clothes, including Mal's and I'll call you and tell you where to send it. Mom, dad take care of the kids and kingdom. Rest of you..." I started saying. "We're going to the isle" I told them. They all looked shocked. "LET'S GO! GET IN THE CAR!" I yelled and they all got out from their seats and ran out of the room. "Dad call one of the drivers. Mal took the limo, tell him to be here asap" I told him and I ran out of the room joining the others. We were waiting outside of the restaurant on the curb. There was still a huge line of people so they were all watching us. I was pacing back and forth. Why did she leave? My dad came rushing outside, "he's on his way" he told me. "Thank you. You are in charge of the kingdom until I get back. And please take care of my babies" I told him. A limo came speeding down the street. FG came outside. "I packed everything its all done" she said. "Thank you, I'll call you when to send them to the isle" I told her. I turned back around and the gang wasn't in the car. "Are you kidding me! Get in the car!!! Lets go!!" I yelled at them. They all got into the car as fast as they could. I sat down next to Evie and I tapped the driver's window. He drove off quickly. Evie held my hand and so did Audrey. Everyone was basically holding hands. We all just hope Mal is ok. "So...Mal told me about Harry..." I said. "And about that scar where she lost all of her magic" I added. "Wait which scar?" Evie asked. "Um... The one Harry did" I replied. "Ya, which one?" She asked. "There was more than one?!" I asked her. "Evie! Why did you say that! You know that's the one were not supposed to say to anyone. Not even Ben!!" Carlos told her. "Sorry I thought he knew!" She replied. "What other scar?" I repeated. "The scar that would make her hair go purple..." She said silently. Everyone in the car gasped. "It wasn't because she lost her magic that her hair turned blonde, its because the scar finally went away after 8 years! She is naturally blonde" Evie said again scared at what my reaction will be. "But please don't tell her you all know. She would kill me" she pleaded. "Fine but she will end up telling me at some point" I said. The car stopped. "We're here. Evie,Carlos and Jay you guys are going out first" I told them. They nodded. They got out if the car then the rest of us got out. Carlos rang the doorbell. EQ opened the door. "Carlos?" She asked. "Yeah. Its me. We're all here" he said and moved out of the way so she can see us. "Evie! My daughter how are you?!" She exclaimed and gave Evie a hug. "I'm good! But we came here for Mal. Is she here?" She asked her mother. "Oh yes she is. Come in, come in" she said and let us in. "Now I'm assuming you're all staying here, so you know where you're sleeping right?" EQ asked us and we all nodded. "Did you guys eat?" She asked. "Well sorta, we started eating but then Mal left so we ran after her" I said. "Ok well do you want to eat? I can start cooking" she said. "Actually no, I'm gonna ask FG to send some food. But I have to go see Mal first" I told them and they all nodded. I went upstairs and found Mal's room. The door was opened but I still knocked. I leaned on her door frame. She turned around and looked happy. "Hey Benny" she said and walked over to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I came after you. I wouldn't let you leave without saying goodbye" I said and smiled. I shut the door behind me. "I'm staying until the royals come and apologize" I told her. I sat down on her bed and she sat down on my lap. "Yeah no that's not happening. And if you were to stay, where are your clothes?" She asked me. "one second" I told her and got my phone out. I dialed FG's number and she picked up. "You can send them now. Oh and can you send some food over but the food only in about 15 minutes" I hung up. "3.2.1 and.." I said and waited for my suitcase to appear and it did. And then Mal's suitcase appeared. "Sweet" she said. She kissed me hard. She bit my lip softly and then she giggled. I love it when she giggles. I leaned my forehead on hers. I looked at her deeply and she looked at me that way too. "I love you" she whispered. "I love you too" I replied and kissed her softly. "Lets go eat. I'm hungry" she said. She got up and grabbed my hand. We got downstairs and the food was already there. "Oh I guess FG sent it earlier" I said. We both sat down and we all started eating. Timeskip... We all went up to our own rooms and went to bed. I put my PJs on and so did Mal. She was already in bed. I got in next to her and wrapped my arms around her. We're used to sleeping in a warm room but Mal's room is freezing. I usually wear no top and Mal is usually in a tank top and short shorts. But tonight I have a t shirt and she has short sleves and long pants. "Goodnight baby" I said and kissed her head. "Goodnight" she replied and we both fell asleep.
