Author's Note: Okay, so I had this sent to me as a prompt by Boris Yeltsin and I was quite intrigued by the idea. This is not a Ben/Mal story. For this story the pair realised after the coronation they loved each other like brother and sister rather then like boyfriend and girlfriend. I should also add Maleficent was never turned into a lizard at the coronation. She managed to escape but hasn't been seen since.

It was a clear, quiet night over Auradon and all of the kingdom were sleeping peacefully. All but one. Mal was currently beginning to toss and turn in her bed. Another nightmare plaguing her dreams tonight. The young girl had hoped tonight would be different when she went to sleep that night but as was becoming usual for her now she was getting restless. However, what she didn't realise was her whimpering stemming from her nightmare was rousing her room mate. Evie was slowly beginning to wake up but she couldn't place the sound that had woken her.

Evie laid in her bed for a while with her eyes closed trying to figure out why she was waking up. That was when she heard another whimper. She knew then exactly what had woken her. Her best friend. Evie quickly got up out of her bed and slowly made her way over to Mal's bed. The scared look on her friends face tugged at her heart. She couldn't bare to see her best friend/sister like this. What made it worse was poor Mal was starting to be affected during the day by the restless nights. Evie made the decision to wake her sister up in the hope that when/if she fell back to sleep she would sleep a little better and fell a little more rested in the morning.

"Mal." Evie called out gently as she placed her hand upon Mal's shoulder. Mal however just kept tossing and turning. "Mal!" Evie shouted at her. The blue haired girl regretted it immediately however when Mal bolted up into a sitting position and struggled to get her breathing under control. Evie sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped her arms around Mal in an attempt to comfort her clearly distraught friend.

"NO!" Mal shouted as she struggled to get free. Evie tightened her hold on Mal, holding her to her body. Evie knew from experience if she let Mal go now Mal would have a panic attack and wouldn't calm down for a good few hours. She briefly looked at Evie while she struggled and it was easy to see in her fear she didn't realise who the girl who was trying to comfort her was. Mal was still trapped in whatever had happened in her nightmare.

"It's okay, Mal." Evie whispered to mal as she continued to struggle against the girl's hold. "It was just a nightmare. You're safe." She told her purple haired friend and finally Mal began struggling a little less.

"E?" Evie heard Mal whisper. Her voice thick with the tears that were streaming down her face. Evie couldn't help but smile a little at her but it was definitely a sad smile. This has happened every night since Ben's coronation three weeks ago.

"Yeah I'm here. You're safe." Evie told her. Evie felt Mal relax a little more at the sound of her voice but Mal's shoulders were still shaking were she was crying. This had become a nightly thing now. Mal would wake me up while having a nightmare, Evie would wake her up and console her while she cried and Mal would then continue to cry herself back to sleep. Thankfully, Mal usually spelt through with no problems after that. Evie had tried to help her but she was running out of options. Mal wouldn't let Evie tell anyone about her nightmares, even Ben who had become Mal's closest friend after Evie. Evie secretly had asked Fairy Godmother for advice but lied and said it was her having trouble sleeping. That was a bust. Evie had tried to make a dreamless sleep potion for her younger friend but even that hadn't worked. Evie was running out of things to try.

It wasn't long before Evie noticed Mal's breathing had evened out again and she had fallen back to sleep. Evie stayed holding Mal for a few more minutes until the she was sure Mal was definitely asleep and then began to manoeuvre her way out from behind the younger girl and gently laid Mal down on her bed. Evie paused over her when Mal began shuffling around, Evie assumed she was trying to get comfy but a few seconds later Mal settled once again. Evie covered her over with her purple duvet and turned to get back into bed herself when she saw something in the corner of the room. What the hell? She thought to herself

Evie quietly walked over and couldn't help but roll her eyes at what she had found. Jordan's Genie Lamp. Jay must have taken it to play a trick on her again. It wouldn't be the first time although it's the first time he has left it in the girls room and not taken it with him. Strange. Evie picked it up, not comfy leaving it on the floor and placed it onto her bedside cabinet. After another quick look over at Mal only to find her once again sleeping peacefully and checking the time on the phone her boyfriend Doug had given her, 4:05 am, Evie climbed back into bed and turned over, facing away from Mal.

Evie couldn't stop the sigh that escaped her lips. "I wish Mal was a baby again so she wouldn't have to deal with what her mother had done to her." She whispered to herself. Evie knew it wouldn't be possible but at least that way Mal wouldn't have this every night. Poor Mal was scared and worried to go to sleep because she knows she'll have another nightmare of everything her mother had put her through. It was with this thought Evie drifted off back to sleep unaware of the magic surrounding Mal's bed and the transformation occurring.
