So I recently watched Disney Descendants and thought it was a lot of fun!

I was really taken with all the characters and especially with Mal and Ben. So here is a little something fun I wrote.

Please leave me a review and let me know what you thought.

Mimicking Songs

King Ben of Auradon lay asleep beneath a huge feathery quilt. The early light crept through the clouds into his room, showing his bedside table, with it's clutter of peppermints, school books, signature stamp and gilded looking water jug.

He didn't stir when the door of his room creaked open, but a moment later something shook him awake and he blinked to find Jay had bounced onto the end of his bed while Carlos emptied the contents of the water jug on his head.

Ben put up a hand as the water washed over his head,' argh!' he exclaimed,' what are you two doing?'

'Getting you up for match practice,' said Jay, mopping his hair out of his face.

Ben rubbed the water from his eyes and stared up at the clock,' it's seven thirty,' he complained,' and it's Saturday.'

'And you are always disappearing by ten, saying you have to "work",' cut in Jay,' so if we want to practice we have to start up early.'

'My work is important,' said Ben, pulling the blanket over his head,' and I'm going back to sleep. I'm your king, stop bothering me.'

'King huh?' repeated Jay.

Carlos' face became a wicked grin and Ben peeped out from under his blanket,' what?' he asked.

'This is our King,' chuckled Jay, grinning at Carlos.

'I know, especially after he did this,' Carlos drew a long breath and burst into melody,' did I mention that I'm in love with you? And did I mention there's nothing I can do? And did I happen to say I dream of you every day...'

Ben threw a school book at him,' I was under a spell,' he retorted.

'That doesn't mean you weren't acting like an idiot,' chuckled Jay.

'I remember you singing in on that one,' said Ben.

'Sure I did,' agreed Jay coolly,' when someone is behaving that stupid it's play along or die of embarrassment. I'm a survivor.'

'Very funny,' mumbled Ben, trying to hide his smile,' now if you two will just go away and excuse me.'

He pulled the blanket over his head again, but it was scarcely a moment later that that he felt himself roll off the bed and sit up on the floor amidst a pile of feather blankets.

'What are you doing?' he demanded.

'Getting you out of bed,' said Jay.

'Is that the first time someone has ever pushed you out of bed?' asked Carlos.

Ben stared up at them both, bewildered.

'Wow,' exclaimed Jay,' it is a first for him.'

Carlos gave a chocked laugh,' dude you should try my house,' he said.

The first word seemed to bring in the dog who owned that name and he bounded onto Ben and the pile of blankets.

'Okay, good dog,' eased Ben, while Dude enthusiastically licked his face,' nice dog, nice dog, er, Carlos...'

Carlos came to the rescue, sweeping the dog up into his arms.

'Come on,' Jay offered Ben a hand and the other took it, pulling himself to his feet,' we expect to see you down stairs in two minutes,' Jay added as he, Carlos and Dude whisked out the room.

Ben half considered getting back in bed, but he was wide awake and there was a huge splash of water on his pillow from the water jug. With a slight sigh for the lost sleep out Ben toweled his hair, got dressed and headed down the steps.

Jay and Carlos were waiting for him, but to his surprise Mal was there too. She turned on hearing his steps and grinned up at him as he came down the stairs. His sweet smile flashed across his face and he hurried down.

'Morning Mal,' he said, taking her hand and imprinting a kiss on it.

Mal grinned at him,' you really are picture perfect aren't you Ben?' she said.

That made Ben laugh,' I'm glad you think so,' he said.

Mal leaned up and kissed his cheek,' I've never heard a cross word from you,' she said with that perky smile she had.

'You have never seen me out of temper then,' chuckled Ben, linking an arm through her's as the four of them headed out the door together.

Mal turned her head to look up at him, a little frown on her brow,' but I've seen a lot of times where I wouldn't have blamed you if you had been angry, I mean the cookie...'

Ben laughed and shrugged this off,' what's a little love spell?' he said.

The sentence was enough for Jay and Carlos who both filled their lungs and begin to sing 'Did I mention' loudly enough for the whole school to hear.

Mal hid a grin. She would never forget her feeling when Ben had started singing that song on the sport's field. Between embarrassment, flattery and the wish that he was doing it without a love potion.

They reached the sport field more or less as Jay and Carlos finished their song, having got the lyrics slightly confused on the way.

Jay opened up his bag and began to pull out sports gear and scatter the field with them. Something catching his eye made a sudden turn in his behavior. He dropped the bag and grabbing up a bat smacked a ball toward the goal post with all his might. It sailed right through and he looked around, apparently hoping a certain somebody had noticed his smooth move.

Mal glanced in the direction of Jay's head and spotted Lonnie, who was sitting on a park bench, eating and ice-cream and paying Jay no attention.

'Having trouble there Mr. Bad-news?' asked Mal, with a wicked twinkle in her eye.

Jay scowled,' it's not fair,' he complained,' I like the one girl whose not interested.'

'One girl?' repeated Ben in a teasing voice, taking his place beside Mal,' was Mal ever interested?'

'Mal doesn't count,' dissed Jay.

'And Evie?' asked Carlos, stepping up the other side of Jay.

'She doesn't count either.'

'Audrey,' said Ben.

'She has lousy taste.'

'I take that personally,' protested Ben.

'Well Chad is bad taste,' said Mal.

'Oh he is not always so bad,' said Ben,' he wasn't nice to Evie though.'

Carlos scowled,' no he wasn't,' he said snappishly.

Mal looked over at him,' you're very defensive of Evie,' she teased.

'Speaking of which, where is Evie?' asked Ben, helping Carlos out as that boy was blushing.

'She'll be here,' said Mal,' right after she is done doing her make up.'

Mal swung around Ben and coming up behind Jay she looked over his shoulder toward Lonnie and hissed into his ear,' your love for her is ridiculous,' in a low singing voice.

Jay fairly jumped at having the voice hissing in his ear,' Mal,' he cried.

'What?' she twirled away from him, laughing.

Ben caught her hand as she twirled and pulled her into a dance.

'Oh I know the perfect thing,' she cried and broke into melody,' I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream, I know you, that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam and I know it's true, that visions are seldom all the seem...'

Ben cut in,' but if I know you, I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream.'

They let go of one another's hand, both laughing.

'Seriously,' complained Carlos,' is that Maleficent's daughter singing Sleeping Beauty's song?'

Jay spun round,' I can handle this!' he exclaimed and burst into melody,' a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, no one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming...'

A voice cut in behind him and swinging round he saw Lonnie dancing over his way, the next verse of the song on her lips,' a whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew, but when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you.'

She laughed as she broke off and dropped onto the wet grass, breathing in the air of early autumn. Jay grinned,' you sing nicely,' he said, rather awkwardly.

Lonnie laughed,' I think pretty much every one here can sing,' she said.

Mal let out a two bar of 'If Only' and they all laughed, dropping onto the grass like Lonnie, not minding the wet.

'When are we doing this practice I was dragged out of bed for?' inquired Ben, looking up after a moment of silence, while beside him Mal chewed on a blade of grass.

'Moment Evie gets here,' said Jay, glancing over his shoulder toward the main door of the school,' which with Evie could take all year, oh here she comes.'

Sure enough the door had just opened and Evie came skipping out, heading in their direction. Carlos gapped at her with a rather stupefied expression. Ben gave him a nudge,' ask her out,' he said with a grin.

'Huh,' Carlos looked round,' I can't do that,' he protested,' I mean, I don't want too, ugh!'

This final comment was not at all convincing, but Ben dropped it with a slight smirk on his face as he glanced at Mal, who pulled a funny face and offered him a piece of grass to chew on.

Evie came up, singing to herself in a 'princessy' tone,' some day my prince will come, some day we'll meet again. And away to his castle we'll go, to be happy forever I know.'

'That's Snow White's,' called Mal.

Evie blushed slightly,' apparently not having realised that she was singing out loud. Ben gave Mal a nudge,' and who was just singing Sleeping Beauty?' he asked,' if Audrey heard you...'

Mal gave him a shove,' she'd have to get with it,' she retorted.

Evie stopped by the group and looked down at the wet grass,' aren't there any chairs around here?' she asked,' I'd hate to get my dress wet.'

'Oh drop it Evie,' said Mal,' just sit and make yourself comfortable.'

Evie paused, then very gingerly sat down, curling up her feet under her. She was looking very prim until Dude leaped onto her lap and covered her dress in muddy footprints.

'Oh no!' Evie jumped up in distress,' bad dog!' she exclaimed in frustration,' very bad dog!'

'Oh, he is just being friendly!' protested Carlos, catching Dude up into his arms.

Evie gave him a haughty look as she sat down again,' you are the one who spent your childhood scared of dogs,' she retorted.

'But he is amending it in his teens,' said Ben helpfully.

Evie snorted, nose in the air,' some people are so changeable,' she retorted.

'I'd say you are first among them,' said Jay, getting to his feet,' come on, it's time for play practice. Lets split into teams, shall we? Want to join us?' to Lonnie.

'Sure,' she allowed him to give her a hand to help her to her feet,' I'll even the numbers.'

'Join my team,' Jay advised, jabbing a finger at himself.

'Oh no,' said Lonnie,' I'm so going up against you!'

'All right, prepare to be beaten,' Jay warned,' Ben you had best captain the other team.'

Ben nodded in agreement and glanced at Mal,' join Lonnie and I?' he asked.

'Okay,' she came over to his side and Evie and Carlos joined Jay. The two teams looked at one another across the field and Mal just couldn't resist.

She filled her lungs and burst out with a line of song,' Oh I just can't wait to be king, oh I just can't wait to win!'

The whole group burst out laughing and Jay took up his bat and went into play without per warning. Ben was quick however to block the move while there was a general cry of 'cheat!' all round.

The game went on for nearly two hours before Evie, of all people, got the winning shot. Despite her being on his team Jay didn't seem able to get much of a kick out of this and looked a little dashed. He had not done as well as usual with Lonnie on the opposite team determined to see him fail.

It was nearly ten o' clock by now and Ben, going over to their pile of things, took up his coat and slid it back on.

'I'll catch up with you all later,' he said,' but I have to go now.'

He smiled at Mal and turned to go, but Jay caught his arm.

Ben looked round,' yes?' he inquired.

Carlos came and took his other arm and between them they turned him round.

'Come on,' Ben was laughing slightly,' what is it fellows?'

'You are not going back to work yet,' said Jay,' you need to live a life a bit first.'

'I live a perfectly good life thank you,' laughed Ben, but he allowed the two boys to lead him away down the sports field, followed by the three girls.

Jay and Carlos only stopped when they reached the great waterfall which rolled into the enchanted lake and washed over the rocks below. It a sheer drop and quite long if one were to jump.

'Okay,' said Jay, finally letting go of Ben's arm and swinging his arms in front of him,' jump down!' he said.

Carlos also let Ben go and stood back, arms folded to see if he'd do it. Mal, Lonnie and Evie all came up behind, looking on with interest.

'You want me to jump down there?' Ben was staring down at the rocks.

'Just take a leap!' said Jay, laying a hand on Ben's shoulder,' or I'll shove you in,' he added,

'No, no,' Ben took a step back, head up with a wicked glint in his eye,' I've got this.'

He took a few steps further back and rolled up his sleeves.' After I've jumped I expect you too also,' he warned.

Jay laughed,' yeah,' he mocked,' after you actually jump, no problem!'

Ben grinned, winked at Mal, who was hiding a laugh behind her hand and, running forward at full speed, he jumped.

Jay and Carlos gasped simultaneously, while behind them Evie and Lonnie both screamed. Mal was laughing and she sprint forward before anyone could guess what she was at and took the jump.

The others gasped and screamed again and then all crowded to the edge to look over. Both Mal and Ben were in the lake, looking completely well, having apparently not hit their heads on the rocks.

'Scared?' Ben called up to Jay.

Jay stared down at him,' that is beyond risk!' he exclaimed,' you could have got yourself killed.'

Ben laughed,' it's an enchanted lake Jay,' he said,' you won't hit your head, I guarantee it. What else would have made Mal jump?'

'You knew?' asked Evie, peeking over the waterfall to see her friend.

Mal laughed,' course I did, come on! You genuinely can't get hurt, I promise.'

They all stared and it was Lonnie who finally broke the silence,' well I'm going in,' she said,' I am surprised no one ever bothered to tell me this jump was safe, I mean I live here!'

She got almost into the waterfall and slide down amidst the waves and foam. She bobbed up the other side, mopping hair from her face and grinning.

'Oh I am going to do that!' cried Evie,' come on!'

She graped Carlos by the hand and rushed in, pulling him after her.

'This is insane,' mumbled Jay.

'Promised safely and you are still scared?' asked Ben.

'It's just, well, I don't really believe it's actually enchanted.'

'Not seen enough enchantments in your life?' asked Ben, he grinned at Mal,' he should try a love potion!'

'Come on Jay!' cried Carlos, who had now bobbed up with Evie,' it's fun!'

'Oh he is scared!' laughed Evie,' little Jay can't take it!'

'I'm not scared!' retorted Jay.

'Prove it then!' called Lonnie.

Her eyes meet his, full of defiance and Jay didn't need a further push, but took the jump. The water was perfect. Not freezing, but cool and refreshing. Laughing the whole group waded to the side and straggled out onto the smooth surface of the stone slab where Ben and Mal had had their first date.

Mal drew a long breath as she sat down and Ben perched beside her. Evie strangled onto the grass and Carlos pulled himself up beside her. Lonnie got up on the slab and Jay pulled himself up beside her and sat dangling his feet in the water.

'Wow,' breathed Evie,' that was amazing!'

'We are like a crowd of mermaids,' laughed Mal.

Lonnie sang out,' flipping your finns you don't get too far.'

Mal sang a different verse,' up where they walk, up where they run...'

Ben cut in,' up where they stay all day in the sun, wondering free,' he looked at her, that gentle light in his eyes,' wish I could be, part of that world.'

Mal grinned at him and he offered her a hand and pulling her to her feet he took her into a dance, while singing in a half gentle, half laughing tone,' tale as old as time, true as it can be, barely even friends, then somebody bends, unexpectedly.'

Mal grinned and took it up,' just a little change, small to say the least, both a little scared, neither one prepared...'

Ben pointed to her,' beauty,' then to himself,' and the beast.'

Mal laughed,' you aren't a beast,' she said.

He smiled back at her,' neared to it than you.'

Jay was watching them with a half smile and then turning he found Lonnie was looking at him.

''What?' he asked her.

'Are you jealous of Ben?' she asked.

'What? No! I don't fancy Mal like that,' he paused,' are you jealous of Mal?'

She shook her head,' no.'

Jay grinned and somehow his hand found hers and they gripped one another's fingers and shared a secret smile.

Evie was watching them in her own turn. She paused for a moment and then turned her head, flickering her hair, to look round at Carlos,' want to spend some time together?' she asked in a rush.

'Huh?' Carlos stared at her.

'I know we spend lots of time together already, but I meant, I don't have a prince,' she smiled at him and Carlos' face lit up.

'Yes,' he said eagerly,' yeah, that'd be great.'

Ben and Mal meanwhile had not noticed any of the others, they were still dancing, both laughing. A moment's pause in their talk gave Mal the chance she wanted, she leaned up and whispered in Ben's ear three little words.

'Did I mention...?'

Please don't try the waterfall thing, it's only for the story!
