After the chaos at the Royal Cotillion, it turned out to be one of the best parties Auradon has ever seen. It ended up with the Core 4 and Ben having a sleepover in Jay and Carlos's dorm room. It also ended up with Ben carrying Mal out of the party bridal style to the Enchanted lake for a small picnic. Mal's eyes were continuously glowing green even after she transformed back from being a dragon. You could even see it when she closed her eyes. The couple was walking and they had such a good time that their conversation ended up like this: "Mal I'm so sorry about what happened. I had no idea what I was doing. I just want you to know that you're the only one I love. Please forgive me." Mal usually never says "I love you" back to Ben. She normally blushes and buries her head into his chest. But today she starts to say, "Ben how could I stay mad at you. It's now your fault. And Ben, I lov-" and she is cut off by a wave of energy resulting in knocking her out. Alarm bells go off in Ben's head because you could no longer see the glow from her eyelids. He cuts off their path and sprints to the boys' dorm room. He keeps telling himself it'll okay, but he's disappointed because it had to happen right when she was saying she loves him. Once he reached the door, he frantically pounded on the door. Evie answered the door and said, "Oh Ben you're here early. Where's Ma… oh. WHAT HAPPENED?! Is she ok? OMG OMG!" Evie's frantic behavior attracted the attention of the boys. "Ok is everything alright? Wait. What the hell happened to Mal. What did you do to her Ben?" Jay cracks his knuckles to intimidate him. But Ben was able to stay calm. "I don't know how it happened but here's the story:" he tells the story and the VKs are shocked. "So nothing happened except a wave of magic?" Ben assured her that that's all that happened. All while everyone is talking, they're all yawning. After all it is 2:00 AM. "Ok how about this. We'll all get to bed, and she'll probably be ok in the morning." Everyone agreed and went to bed. After everyone fell asleep, purple light and dust surrounded Mal, and when it cleared, she was a child! Unfortunately, she was still being held by Ben, so the magic affected him too! But since it wasn't meant for Ben, it turned him to the about the age of 6 while Mal was 3. That's not their actual age difference, but he was less affected by the magic so this was the result. Luckily when they would awake, they would know each other. Mal would treat Ben as her older brother. After the transformation, events were nonexistent, and the night went on as a normal night.

When Mal awoke the next morning, she was confused. Where am I? She thought. Then she felt the weight of the slightly older boy's arms around her. Oh. ok well Ben is here so i must be ok. She was about to go back to sleep when Ben awoke. "Mal? Are you ok? Who are these other people in the room. And why are they so big?" "Ben? Yea i ok. But i no know who dese others are. And your wight. Dey are so big. Oh well it ok." Since Evie was a light sleeper, she was awoken by their talking. She walked over to them, and as soon as Ben spotted her, he pulled Mal close and wrapped his arms around her to protect her. "Mal? Ben? Why are you guys so small?" She saw the terror in their eyes. "Oh. Don't worry. I won't hurt you guys. Mal it's Evie. Do you remember me?" Evie was slightly upset that her best friend didn't remember her, at least until she spoke up. "Evie. Dat ou? Benny it's ok. She a good girl." Ben slowly released her and Evie lifted her up. "Mal. You're so light. Have you been eating?" "no evie. Remember there no food on the Isle. But ben eat. He live in auradon. He brought me here. But i no eat." Evie suddenly realized of course she hadn't eaten. She lived on the isle for evil's sake. But how come she knows and trusts ben? Interesting. "Ok well how about we wake the boys up, and we'll discuss what we'll do." Evie gave her children turned friends her phone and put on a tv show that they'd both like while she woke up the boys. "Jay, Carlos we have a problem." "Oh no. How big is it?" Carlos sleepily asked Evie. "It's pretty big, or should I say small?" She points at her other friends and the boys gasp. "How did this happen?" they asked Evie frantically. "I don't know. But that's besides the point. What we need to do is bring them to Fairy Godmother and have her help them." The boys walked over to the kids and Mal immediately jumped into Carlos's arms and Ben, following suit, jumped into Jay's. "Oh hey guys. (whispers to Jay) Ben is a lot older than Mal now. I wonder why." Jay just merely shrugged. Evie spoke up. "Ok. So what we're going to do is before breakfast, we're going to see Fairy Godmother for an… um "appointment". Then we'll go eat. Let's go." The kids perched themselves on the boys' shoulders and laughed the whole way. Since it was early, no one was in the hallways. Thank goodness for them. When they reached FG's office, she was just unlocking it when she saw the teens. For now she didn't notice Mal and Ben. "What brings you guys here. Is there something wrong?" In almost perfect unison, the teens pointed at the kids still on the boy's shoulders. "Oh. I did not expect that. Come in and we'll discuss what to do." Everyone followed FG in her office, and Mal spooked everyone when she, unlike Ben who was picked up and put on the floor, did a double front flip off Carlos's shoulders and landed on her feet. She sat in a chair with Ben, and since it was a spinny chair, they spun until they got too dizzy to do more. "Now," FG started," how did this happen. Had Mal tried to use magic again?" "No," Jay answered. "The only magic that she used is when she turned into a dragon. Let me tell you the story from after the Cotillion." and he told her everything that happened, even the part when she almost told Ben that she loved him. "I see. Well I think this could be an effect of the magic from the sea necklace and Maleficent's dragon magic mixing and affecting Mal. I think the magic traveled out of her, and Ben must've been very close to her to be affected. I will research spells to undo this magic. It'll be easier to change Ben since he isn't directly affected. What I don't understand is why they're children. If anything it should've caused Mal to not be able to control her magic and that's an easy fix. But I promise to do everything I can to help." While FG was talking, Mal was making a plan. "Hey Benny, lets escape and go to the enchanted lake." Ben had to admit he really wanted to swim, but he wasn't sure. "I don't know Mal. We could get in trouble…" at that Mal burst into laughter but hid it quickly. "Come on Ben. It's nothing illegal. Just fun. Pweaseeeeeeee" while she was talking she pleaded with puppy dog eyes and Ben caved. "Fine let's go." the kids sneakily got out of the office without being spotted, and they sprinted to the lake. "Ok now that we're here," Ben started "I'm now realizing we don't have our swimsuits." "That's ok. I do magic. And it no wash away in the lake. Beware for swear change their clothes to swimwear." at that Mal now had on an edgy Isle bikini and Ben had his shorts with his crowns on them. "Ok let's go!" Mal started to step in the water and realized it felt so much better than it did on the Isle. And it was warm too! "Come on Benny!" Ben was hesitating because he was coming to a realization. "Mal the others were talking about a spell on us. Maybe this lake will wash it away!" Then he jumped into the water. Ben was partially right about the magic of the lake. He was surrounded by a lot of bubbles while Mal was only surrounded by a fraction of the bubbles he had. When they cleared...
