~I do not own Descendants~

Prom, maybe the most extravagant thing that happens at Auradon Prep, next to the Coronation. The students of Auradon Prep take prom pretty seriously, and they aren't afraid to go all out.

It's the time of the year where everyone can be a princess, no matter your lineage. Both guys and girls work on the most amazing way to ask their date, hoping that no one else has the same idea.

Ben wasn't taking any chances with his big ask to Mal. He made sure to plan nothing too out there, he knows how she is. The only way to make sure it was the perfect ask, was to enlist in the help of Mal's closest friend, Evie.

Evie was the only person who could think of the best way to ask. They had spent the last few days planning in secret, and Mal has no idea.

The planning was taken longer than they had in mind, because the original idea was used by someone else right in front of Ben and Mal, two days before Ben was going to ask her. Now, their new idea is one that they feel no one else will have in mind because it's completely personal to them.

"Do you think Mal is getting impatient or anything?" Ben asks on their final day of planning.

"You know, you never can really tell with her," Evie jokes.

"Yeah, you're right."

"And you thought I wasn't?" Evie smiles and Ben returns one as well.

"Okay, so everything sounds great and I just hope that everything goes to plan." Ben sighs and his eyes wander around the library. The two of them are sitting in the back of the library, where they are never disturbed.

"It will," Evie places her hand on Ben's shoulder, and he looks over at her. "You just need to trust me, Mal will love this."

"Alright, I am," Ben smiles and starts to get up from his seat. "So, tomorrow morning at ten you'll meet me at the spot to prepare, and then you'll bring Mal there at eleven, correct?"

"Yep, that's the plan," Evie gets up from her chair and starts to gather all her belongings from the table.

"She won't be expecting this," Ben says with happiness as he puts his bag over his shoulder.

"Nope, but that's the best part," Evie does the same with her bag.

"I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yeah, see you then," Evie walks away, leaving Ben by himself. He smiles at the plan, and happily leaves the library.

"Hey, Mal," Evie greets her friend as she enters their room.

"Hi," Mal says without looking up from her spell book.

"What are you doing?" Evie asks peering over Mal's shoulder, who quickly closes the book before Evie can get a good look.

"Just looking, no reason," Mal answers bluntly, and Evie decides to drop it. "So, where were you?"

Evie freezes in her spot for a moment, before she causally hangs her bag on the chair in front of her, "Nowhere, just...in the library." Well, it's not a lie, she was there, just not alone.

"What were you doing there?" Mal asks questionably while sitting up on her bed.

"Oh, just...research," sort of the truth.

"For wh-"

"Does it really matter Mal?!" Evie suddenly blows up at her, but she instantly realizes what she just did and apologizes. "Sorry, I'm just..." Evie isn't sure how she's going to finish her sentence.

"Just what?" Mal asks with general concern for her friend.

"Just thinking...about Doug," Evie was thinking about him. "He hasn't ask me to prom yet, and I thought if he was, he would've done it by now." Evie instantly bites her tongues when she realizes what she just said, but she can't take it back now.

"Yeah, I guess I'm with you on that," Mal relates. "Ben hasn't asked me yet either, and prom is only three days away." Mal suddenly smiles and gives a little laugh. "You know, if anyone would've told me a year ago that I would be waiting around for the King of Auradon to invite me to prom, I probably would've deemed them insane." Mal laughs, and Evie does too, but her's comes out more forced.

"Yeah, you probably would've of..." Evie says in a nervous way and quickly turns sourness from Mal.

"Are you okay?" Mal questions while getting off her bed, "You're acting kind of strange."

"Yeah, yeah, totally fine," Evie tenses up slightly as Mal approaches her.

"Are you s-"

"Hey, are you busy tomorrow, like, around eleven?" Evie quickly changes the subject and turns around to face her friend.

"No, why?" Mal raises an eyebrow.

"Good," Evie sighs, "Um...I was just thinking that we could hang out or something, we don't seem to do enough of that lately."

"Uh, okay, sure," Mal shrugs and sits herself back down on her bed. "What are we going to do?"

"Just leave that to me, I want it to be a surprise," Evie smiles and takes a seat in front of her sewing machine.

"You seem to be making such a big deal of this, what gives?"

Evie freezes in her spot and looks over her shoulder. "Nothing, I just thought it could be a surprise, of you don't mind."

"No, no, I don't," Mal puts her hands up in defense. "Anyway, I'm supposed to meet Ben for dinner, so I'll see you later," Mal gets off her bed and steps toward the door.

"See ya," Evie smiles at Mal as she leaves the room. She instantly exhales a breath she didn't know she was keeping in and pulls out her sketchbook. Secretly, she has been designing Mal's perfect prom dress, but she can never work on it when Mal's around.

Evie pulls out the fabric she just got for the dress and places on her sewing machine. She stares at it for a minute before quickly sketching something on the design. She smiles, satisfied, and begins to pin the spots on the fabric.

The whole time Evie does this her heart is beating rapidly, as Mal could suddenly come into the room for some random reason. Evie's eyes keep trailing to the door, expecting it to burst open with Mal on the other side any second, but it never happens.

Finally, after she finishes pinning, Evie double checks a few things, but doesn't actually start to saw. She hides the unfinished dress and suddenly realizes how hungry she is. Satisfied with her work, Evie leaves the room to have a well-deserved dinner.

A/N: This is my first Descendants story, so please feel free to tell me what you think of it. The truth behind this story is that the idea for it came to me in a dream, well the second half, I just had to come up with a way to get to it. ;)

Thanks for reading! :P
