Chapter 1: Ben and Mal
Propose with a Strawberry
Ben walked down to his double-seated bike with Mal. Their arms were roped together, each one with a helmet tucked under their arms. As they strapped themselves in, Ben started driving down to the forest of the Enchanted Lake. The location of their first date. Mal smiled. They always came down here on their first date anniversary. Although today, Ben wasn't smiling. He hardly even spoke to Mal all day. Mal was slightly concerned. She had never seen Ben this nervous.
"So, Ben, what do you have planned for today?" Mal asked, hoping to get Ben's attention.
"Nothing much," he replied all too hurriedly, "just a nice picnic on the bay."
"Oh," Mal's face fell. He was definitely up to something. Mal suddenly remembered when Chad had officially dumped Audrey for Lonnie. Audrey hadn't minded since she was already in love with Jay. But she had told Mal, Evie, Jane, and Lonnie all about it. And the way Chad had acted was exactly how Ben was acting today. Mal swallowed hard to bite back her tears. Ben was breaking up with her, she thought.
When they finally arrived, Ben led her past the waterfall, over the bridge, and to their lakeside picnic area.
Ben looked Mal in the eye. "Mal, do you love me?" he asked her.
Mal's eyes spread into looks of worry. It's happening, she thought, he's breaking up with me. "Three years ago you asked me the same question," she responded. "And I told you that I didn't know what love felt like. Well now, I can honestly say that I love you with all my heart."
She waited for him to tell her that he didn't love her in return, that he didn't want her around anymore. But to her surprise his face turned to a smile. "Would you climb the highest mountain for me?" he asked her.
"Yes…" Mal replied not knowing where this was going.
Ben continued. "Would you fight the evilest villain for me?"
"Yes," she said.
"Would you be the queen of Auradon for me?" he asked her, a smile dancing on his eyes.
"Yes," Mal replied. Then her smile turned into a gaping look of shock. She looked at him with wide eyes. She started to beam now. "Did I just answer yes to your proposal?" she asked.
He nodded, holding out a ring embroidered with a ruby diamond in the shape of a strawberry. Slipping the ring on her finger, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled. He wasn't breaking up with her after all. Suddenly from the bushes, the two heard a scream, followed by "Shh, Evie!"
Ben and Mal walked over to the bushes and slowly pulled apart the branches. Mal found Evie, Jane, Doug, and Carlos inside. Ben revealed Jay, Chad, Audrey and Lonnie.
Mal put her hands on her hips. "Now what do we have here?" she said with a smile on her face.
Ben and Mal laughed. "Happy anniversary Mal." Ben said.
The two kissed each other, resulting in loud applause from the bushes. Even if it was interrupted, Mal had the best proposal ever from the one she loved.
Hi guys. Many of you have read my Descendants 2. Well, this story does not include any of the OC's from that story. This is strictly a ten chapter story, with two chapters per couple. This is my first attempt at writing a story with really no plot and just romance. Rating for now is K plus but may go up to T later on. Next chapter is Doug and Evie. Thanks for all the reviews. Bye!
