A Bigger Smile

It was a ordinary day in Auradon. Ben was having a meeting with his grand council, Mal and Evie were at the mall, and Jay and Carlos were playing video games. Everything was fine until Fabio, one of Ben's main servants, rushed into the meeting.

"Excuse me your highness, I just got news that their was a tornado in wonderland. The school was destroyed." He says.

"That's terrible! Is there anything we can do?" Ben says walking over.

King Beast raises his hand. "Maybe we could send some kids here for school... like what you did for the villain kids." He says, saying the last part quiet.

"You would let me do that again?" Ben says shocked at his father.

"Well you are the king. It's time I start treating you like one."

"Thanks Dad!" Ben says excitedly and turns back to Fabio. "Please send the students here. They will attend Auradon Prep and live in the dorms for as long as they'd like." He says, trying to sound proper.

"Of course your highness." Fabio bows and leaves the room.

Time Skip to a few hours later...

Mal walks into the castle with Evie after there shopping trip.

"Ben, we're back!" Mal screams.

Ben rushes down in a suit, fixing his tie.

"Woah! Why are you so dressed up?" Mal asked.

"I'm greeting some kids from Wonderland. There was a tornado at their school and they'll be staying here." Ben says.

"That's so sad. The tornado, not them staying here."

"Why don't you come with me?" Ben says, putting his arm around Mal.

"That's really nice of you, Ben," Mal says, removing his arm. "But I'm not very good at those formal impressions."

"You'll be fine. I'll be right there with you along the way." Ben says taking Mal by the hand. Mal shifted uncomfortably, taken back by the gesture. But then smiled and nodded.

"Sure, why not."

"Perfect! Let's go get you ready!" Evie squeals. She takes Mal by the hand and rushes her into their dorm.

After 5 minutes of Evie's wardrobe magic, Mal was ready and her and Ben we're waiting for the limo to arrive.

When the limo is in view. Ben notices Mal looking nervous. He takes her hand and looks in her eyes.

"You'll do fine, just be yourself." She smiles and all Mal could think was if she should kiss him. She had never been in a relationship before and she was still in that weird phase where she doesn't know where she stands.

Ben moves closer and wraps his arm around her waist. She puts her hands on his chest. They were a square inch apart from each other. Then... someone clears their throat. They stop and look at 4 teens staring at them. Ben quickly let's go of Mal and fixes his suit.

"Hello. Welcome to Auradon. I'm King Benjamin, but you can call me Ben. And this is my girlfriend, Mal."

"Hi! I'm Rebecca White, and that's Malik Hatter, Logan Hearts, and Katrina Cheshire. She goes by Kat." One of the girl's says. She had bright blonde hair, with green eyes.

"I can introduce myself, Becky." The other girl with black hair with a bright purple tips and blue eyes, says.

Rebecca rolls her eyes.

"So I guess we'll wait for the others to come." Ben said.

"What others?" Malik says. The boy had light butternut blonde hair with gray eyes.

"Your school?"

"No, it's just us." Logan said. He had black hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"There are only four people in your school?" Mal asked, very confused.

"Yeah, the rest are either flowers or caterpillars."

"Okay, so let's begin the tour." Ben says.

The rest of the afternoon was basically deja vu from the first time Mal and her friends first came to Auradon. The entire tour was extremely awkward for Mal though. Kat was so obviously trying to get Ben's attention. Thankfully he's so focused on making good impressions. Finally Ben's good charisma and character has a good use!
