Hey guys I hope you like where I am going with this one; it was only intended to be a one shot but it grew into this little perfect gem. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
After watching everyone bow to us I looked up at Ben and I grinned when I noticed that he was looking at me lovingly.
"Come here you" he said happily and he pulled me into a tight hug so my face was now against his chest. I started to enjoy the hug but I quickly pulled away when I felt a sudden wetness to the side of my face.
"Ben!" I exclaimed as I wiped my face with my right hand.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"You got me wet" I pouted.
"Mal" Ben chuckled.
"You were already wet" he stated as he reminded me of when everyone splashed us on the dance floor.
"I suppose" I chuckled.
"You were splashed too" I reminded him as I smiled up at him.
"I know I was" he replied as he tightened his arms around my waist as my right arm snaked back around his waist.
"Hello" he muttered.
"Hello" I grinned back; Ben brushed his nose against mine and I couldn't help but let a large grin spread across my face.
"So-" he smiled.
"You can change into a dragon" he said happily as he started to stroke my right side slowly with his left hand.
"Apparently so" I said.
"I didn't know I could do that" I added as Ben cupped the right hand side of my face with his left hand.
"Well I always knew you were full of surprises Mal" he chuckled as his eyes started to burn into mine.
"You just like to keep me on my toes" he said.
"So do you" I replied.
"You gave me quite the scare there" I said as I pursed my lips together. This was the truth; there was a chance that Uma didn't need to spell Ben to take him away from me and this scared the living Hades out of me. But after having true love's kiss with Ben this proved that we were meant to be together and nothing or no one was going to change this.
"I know" he answered sadly.
"I'm sorry" he apologised as he rang his thumb along my bottom lip.
"But you know that deep down you are the only girl for me" he said lovingly with my favourite warm smile.
"Yeah" I said happily.
"True love" I muttered.
"True love" he repeated and he went to kiss me but we both stopped and sighed when we heard a voice.
"Your Majesty" we both heard the Fairy Godmother say.
"Yes Fairy Godmother" Ben replied as he tightened his arms around me and we both looked down and watched as she walked quickly up to us.
"What is the plan?" she asked eagerly.
"Erm" Ben said as he quickly looked down at me before returning his gaze back to her.
"Right" he said.
"Well I still want Mal to be inducted as my Lady of the Court" he said proudly and I snuggled my face into his wet suit.
"But I think we might have to go and get changed and wait for the water to be drained" he advised sadly as he looked across the room.
"No we don't" she said happily as a large grin spread across her face which made Ben look back at her.
"If you give me the word-" she prompted.
"Oh" Ben said.
"I see" he laughed.
"Ok Fairy Godmother" he added.
"Hit us with your best shot" he chuckled before he pressed a kiss to the top of my head. We watched as the Fairy Godmother chuckled before she turned around and looked at everyone and smiled.
"Bibberty Bobberty Boo!" she said proudly as she waved her wand and we heard a loud pop and everything went back to the way it was before Uma walked into Cotillion. However there was one difference; instead of my yellow and blue dress Evie made me I was now stood in my dry purple dragonesque ballroom dress.
"Evie will be happy with that" I said as I watched everyone look at their now dry clothes.
"What do you mean dear?" the Fairy Godmother said as she turned to look at me.
"She made nearly every dress in this room" I advised as I quickly looked around the room. My eyes locked with Evie's and she smiled at me and I winked at her and I watched as her smile got bigger.
"Obviously she didn't make this one" I said nodding down to my dress.
"This one is a Mal original" I said mock seriously as I swung slightly on the spot to make the dress sway.
"Yes" the Fairy Godmother laughed.
"However can I have a word with you please?" she directed at me.
"In private" she quickly added and I felt Ben's arms tighten around me.
"Of course" I replied politely.
"But can Ben come?" I asked as I started to panic as to why she would want to speak to me on my own.
"Of course" she replied as she looked up at Ben and I watched as they both grinned at each other.
"I don't think I could get in the way of true love" she said kindly and we all laughed. The Fairy Godmother then nodded to the side and Ben led me slowly down the stairs and all three of us walked towards the barrier to the right of the stairs. When we made sure we were in a safe distance where we would be able to talk privately I nodded at the Fairy Godmother to tell her that we could start our conversation.
"I don't wish to put a dampener on your evening-" she started nervously.
"But I think it will probably be for the best that you take magic classes with me" she advised.
"Erm" I said nervously. This did seem fair; I had no intention to change into a dragon ever again. But I could see why she would suggest this as people were probably going to be worried about me; even though I now didn't have my mother's spell book.
"I don't see a problem with that" I added.
"This is too make sure that I don't turn into a dragon again, isn't it?" I asked.
"Kind of" she confirmed.
"It is good to be able to control our magic" she added.
"I see" I noted.
"Fairy Godmother I want to assure you I can't remember how I did it; all I remember is that I thought you were all at risk. I was so angry at Uma; nothing is going to push me back to that point unless I think you are all at risk again" I explained.
"Especially Ben" I said as I looked at Ben and I watched as he grinned down at me and he snuggled into my hair.
"I believe you; but I still want to spend some time with you" she stated.
"I look forward to it" I replied happily and we both smiled at each other.
"I'll go and get things ready" she advised.
"Fairy Godmother-" Ben started.
"Your Majesty" she replied.
"I would like to apologise for my behaviour earlier; I didn't mean to shout at you" he stated which made me smile up at him.
"It's ok your Majesty" she answered.
"I understand you weren't yourself" she stated.
"Thank you" she stated.
"Also-" he advised.
"Can you delay proceedings for fifteen minutes? I would like to speak to Mal before we continue" he advised which made me stomach start to flutter. I thought me and Ben were ok; so why would he want to speak to me? Unless there was something else wrong; and this thought was now making my stomach start to burn.
"Of course" she advised before she span and quickly walked off.
"Should I be worried?" I asked nervously.
"No" he advised as he smiled down at me.
"I just want to steal you for a few minutes; I think we need to talk" he confirmed.
"Ok" I replied.
"Lead the way my love" I stated. Ben then slid his right hand into left and he started to lead me back up the staircase; and as we walked away from everyone else in the room I still couldn't get rid of the feeling of worry. I know that Ben told me not to; but this was easier said than done.
