You remember "Space Between" in Descendants 2? I remember. It's probably my favourite music of the entire movie. So, I wanted to write a funny moment about that, for joking about Mal and Evie relationship. Good read and, I remind: I don't speak English, it's explain more errors (err… or not?) and I'm sorry for that.

Disclaimer: Descendants 2 is not my own.


It was a simple question.

"Mal, you're in love with Evie?"

But, this simple question came from Ben, with an innocent and a funny smile, like always with the king of Auradon. Mal did not know answer. She did not know that, so she and Ben were in the Mal's room, their conversation ended like that. It was relief that Evie was leave with Doug for to work elsewhere.

"Why you ask?" answered Mal, in a little tentative for does not stutter.

"Like that" said Ben, his arms crossed.

"It's a strange question, you know?"

"I know. But I want your answer."

Mal sighed.

"Why? And don't answer me: like that."

"Ok, ok." said Ben, with a laugh. "I want to know why you broke with me. Never mind, I'm happy to be your friend. And friends quiet for their friends, it's right?"

"I understand. Yes, it's… right, I suppose. I don't know, I have not a friend like that, except Jay, Carlos and… Evie."

Mal did not understand why Ben was not angry after the Cotillion, when she said him they were not a couple. Without bad, Ben accepted and, even more, said Mal, he understood and they always were friends. One answer: Ben was a formidable king, and an incredible friend.

"So? You're in love with Evie?" said Ben.

For all answer, Mal laughed nervously.

"No! Of course not."

"Really?" answered Ben, not convince.

"… Ok, just a little." admitted Mal, with difficulty.

Ben raised an eyebrow.

"Right, I love Evie. Happy?"

"Yes!" said Ben with a smile. "I'm very happy, for you. Mal, if you love Evie, say her."

"It's not so simple, Ben. Evie want a prince. I'm not a prince. I'm a fairy. It's not exactly same. Besides, Evie has Doug. Doug loves her. All people see that. Even if I do not understand why she appreciates him…"

"…Ok. So, if I'll see Evie and I explain her you are in love with her, it's not a problem, of course?"

"You do not want."

"I want" answer Ben, smiling. "You know I can. After all, I'm your friend."

"If you do that, we're not friends anymore."

"It's a threat?"

"Yes!"

Ben laughed again; did not scare by threats of Mal.

"Benjamin Florian, you will not go to do that!"

"Of course I want, Mal Bertha. You know what? I will do that now. See you."

"Ben!"

Ben stood up of Mal's bed and went towards the door, follow by Mal, which tried stop him. Ben opened the door and stooped.

"Oh, hello Evie! How are you ?" said Ben, happily. "You're already back ?"

"Hello Ben. Yes, Doug and I have over ours work. It was easy." said Evie, in front of the door.

"Formidable! Mal want to talk you."

"Excuse me?" answered Mal, behind Ben.

"I'll leave you alone, between girls." continued Ben, without paying attention to Mal and her protestations. "See you later, Evie, Mal."

"Ok. See you later, Ben." said Evie.

"I hate you, Benjamin." said Mal.

"I love you too, Mal. Good luck." concluded Ben with a smile, before to leave away.

"Good luck? For what?" said Evie, looking at Mal.

"Never mind. It's just a horrible friend." answered Mal, her arms crossed

"Ben? A horrible friend? Are you right, Mal?"

"Yes. I suppose. Err… We can to talk? In the room? Come in. You'll find it funny… or not. But, it's very important."

So than Evie was intrigued and Mal was nervous, in the corridor, Ben smiled. He was proud of him.
