Chapter 1
*Ben's POV*
It's been four years since Harry Hook has been sent back to the Isle of the Lost and since Uma's escape. Since then Auradon has been safe. However, even though I know that Harry is back on the Isle it doesn't stop me from occasionally worrying about him getting free and coming after Mal again. Losing Mal may always be my biggest fear but she's the love of my life and I'll always protect her.
As I sat here in my office and awaited the arrival of the three people whose help I needed the most right now I stood up from my desk and started pacing back and forth until the phone on my desk started ringing. I picked it up and pressed speaker.
"Hello" I answered.
"Your Majesty, your guests are here" Lumière replied.
"Evie, Carlos, and Jay?" I asked.
"Yes" Lumière confirmed.
"Great send them in" I replied eagerly.
Soon as I hung up the phone the door to my office open and in walked Evie, Carlos and Jay.
"Thank you all for coming" I replied. "I bet you all are wondering why I've asked you to come here today" I replied nervously.
"What's this about Ben?" Jay asked.
"Yeah and where's Mal? Shouldn't she be here as well" Evie wondered.
"Actually I didn't tell her about this meeting since it's about her" I confessed.
"What's wrong? Is she okay?" Carlos replied frantically.
"She's fine" I reassured them. "Now I've asked you all here because I've got some big important news that I want to share with you three" I replied eagerly.
"What is it Ben?" Jay repeated.
"Yeah and can we hurry this up please? I'm supposed to be meeting Doug for our study date in half an hour" Evie replied while look at her watch.
I took a deep breath.
"You guys know how important Mal is to me. We've been together for four years and I've been in love with her from the moment I saw her step out of that limousine. I want to spend the rest of my life with her" I replied sincerely.
"Yes Ben we know all of this already, what exactly are you trying to say?" Evie replied impatiently.
I took another deep breath.
"I'm going to ask Mal to marry me" I smiled.
The room went silent. Evie quickly whips out her phone.
"Consider my study date cancelled" Evie replies while texting Doug.
"Ben, are you serious?" Carlos asked.
"I've never been more serious about anything in my entire life. Mal's the only girl for me, she's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with" I replied sincerely.
"Well then congratulations man!" Jay said grinning while pulling me into a manly hug.
"Yeah it's about time!" Carlos replied eagerly.
"We're so happy for you guys" Evie smiled while reaching over and giving me a hug of her own.
"Where's the ring, can we see it?" Evie replied eagerly.
I chuckled. I reached my hand into the pocket of my blue blazer and pulled out a small green velvet box in the shape of a square. I opened the box wide and inside was a gold band with a sparkly purple stone on top.
Evie, Jay, and Carlos all gasped.
"Ben it's beautiful" Evie cried.
"Only the best for my true love" I beamed.
I closed the box and put it back in my pocket.
"Now I want you guys to promise me that you won't tell anyone. This is a big secret and if it gets leaked to the press then everyone in Auradon will know, including Mal. Do we have an understanding?" I asked.
They all nodded.
"The only reason I've only told you three is because you guys are Mal's family and traditionally the guy is supposed to ask the girls' parents for permission, but seeing as neither of those is an option it only seems fitting that I ask you guys for your blessing" I smiled.
"Well you definitely have our blessing, you're the only person we trust with Mal's heart" Jay replied.
"Mal may be our family but you're our family too and you guys deserve to be happy together" Carlos smiled.
"Thanks you guys, you have no idea how much that means to me" I cried.
Evie, Jay, and Carlos all pulled me in for a group hug. Soon as they released me Evie asked "have you told your parents yet?"
"Not yet, I think I'll wait until after I propose to Mal" I confessed.
"Have you planned out how you're going to propose to her?" Jay asked.
"No not yet, that's actually the other reason I called you all here. I need your help; it has to be romantic" I replied nervously.
"I think I have an idea" Evie smiled.
