Chapter 1

A/N

Hello again, my lovelies. So, this fic was requested by Venturian Girl. Most of my requests will be oneshots, but this one requires multiple chapters.

Also! De Vil, not Evil is not a oneshot! I will be updating saturday. I just rewrote the whole plot, but now I love it even more. So my schedule will be De Vil, Not Evil on the weekends, and, for now, this story on Wednesday or Thursdays. I want to try a chaptered fic on the weekends, and a short fic or one shot on the weekdays. Except this one might be three or four chapters, because I couldn't help myself.

Evie's Insecurities

Evie was nervous. Beyond nervous. Because for some reason, Doug decided it would be a good idea for her to meet his father. And his uncles. Snow White's closests friends. The same Snow White that is technically her step-sister. The same Snow White that her mom tried to kill. Like, dead.

Evie could be found in her room, pacing the floor. Mal was sitting on her bed, legs crossed, just watching. She knew that, before being comforted, Evie needed to pace her anxieties out. But when Evie started pulling on her hair, she knew it was time to intervene.

"Evie? Evie, it's okay to be nervous. Anyone would be." Mal tried to help.

"Mal! My mother tried to kill their friend." Evie reminded.

"Well, look on the bright side. Your mother's the reason why Snow met the seven Dwarves." Mal reminded.

Evie just glared. She appreciated the help, but right now, she was too scared. Scared of Doug's family's reaction to him dating the daughter of their worst enemy.

"They're gonna hate me. They probably already do. They hate my mother. People don't understand that i'm not her!" Evie cried.

"Doug does. Right away, he fell for you, knowing who your mother was beforehand."

"I'm sure his feelings won't be the same when his father admits that he hates me." Evie argued, still pacing the floor.

"Evie! Doug will always love you! He asked you out while you ignored him, he waited for you to return his feelings, not faulting you for not returning them right away. He didn't get angry when you fell for someone else, rather accepting that he would just be your friend. He was your "knight in shining armor" when Chad tried to get you expelled. Those were your exact words!" Mal was tired of her friend hating herself.

"Poisoned apples!" Evie cursed. "I don't deserve him. I've been taught that I could marry a prince, but I don't even deserve such a caring, romantic, handsome son of a dwarf. Mal, he's too good for me."

Mal got up during her short speech.

"Evie! You deserve someone who loves you. You deserve Doug just as much as he deserves you!" She walked over to her best friend, pulling her into a hug. She had learned to be affectionate when need be.

"His family will love you. Even if they don't, Doug will love you enough to convince them. Ben's parents didn't like me at first. They told Ben I was a mistake. They told him I could never change, that I would always be evil. But they realized they were wrong. They realized that when we fought for good. And guess who was there when you agreed to turn your back from evil. Doug's father. He saw you. He saw you be good. So did the other Dwarves. They're probably wondering how Doug could get such a beautiful, talented girl to fall in love with him." As she said those last words, she rubbed Evie's arms and shook her, just slightly, so make her smile.

"Thanks M." Evie laughed.

"Anytime E. Now go get ready." Mal ended the conversation.

And get ready she did. Evie was all dressed up, though attempting to be at least a little casual. But at the last minute, she decided to forgo her signature tiara and crowned heart necklace, thinking they were too much. Thinking they screamed, "Evil Queen's Daughter!" too loudly.

As she constantly checked her hair, making sure it looked neat and pretty, even without her tiara, there was a knock on the door. Mal answered.

"Hello, Doug. Take care of her, I think she might faint." Mal greeted the boy. She leaned in and whispered, "If she needs to be kissed awake, make sure it's you." She winked as she finished.

Doug would have laughed joke, if he didn't see Evie behind Mal.

"High… Wait a second. Evie? Are you okay?" Doug asked, as Mal moved out of his way, and out of the room.

"Of course. I'm ready to meet your father. And uncles. Totally ready." Evie says, almost too quickly to understand.

"Evie? You're not wearing your tiara. Or your necklace." He stated.

"Well," Evie started quietly, "I thought they would be too much…"

Doug took Evie's hand, and kissed them, then guided her towards the mirror, positioning her so she was facing it

"Evie, you are never too much."

He walked over to her vanity, where the necklace and tiara lied, the necklace unclasped. Gently picking it up, he walked over to wear she still stood, her eyes following him through the mirror.

He stepped back behind her, and brought the necklace up with one hand, taking one side with his other hand, in front of her.

Tears started to burn in Evie's eyes, yet she stayed silent.

After Doug fastened the long necklace, Evie moved her hands and pulled her hair from underneath the chain.

Doug kissed her shoulder, before returning to the vanity, forgoing her usual tiara for the one she wore to the coronation.

"Doug." She managed to choke out.

He still came closer, standing behind her again, attempting to put on the crown. She helped him when he had trouble, being the clumsy guy he is.

Evie turned around to face Doug.

"You may not be a prince, but you sure are quite the knight in shining armor." Evie choked out, tears starting to roll down her cheeks.

"Don't be scared. You're my princess." He whispered.

He kissed her cheeks, where the tears were still present, as he enveloped her into a warm hug.

"I promise my dad will love you. He saw you at the coronation. He saw what you did. He saw you choose good." He said gently, leaning back from the hug, still with his arms wrapped around the beautiful girl in front of him.

Evie nodded, somewhat relieved. She gently pulled out of Doug arms.

"Oh dear," She laughed, "I have to fix myself before we go."

Evie quickly hid any evidence of her crying, before fixing her tiara, and following Doug out of her room.

A/N

I hope you enjoyed it! Doug and Evie are so cute together! So right now, i'm just working on fic requests, but I might decide to write my own ideas at the same time. Also! There are some ships that I was requested to write about, some that I personally don't ship, and it's really fun to challenge myself like that. Yay!
