Well, I'm back and so sorry it took a little bit. I was out of town in Washington and then my computer died so I had to use my laptop which does not always get internet so it has been a little crazy. Anyway, this is for Gummybear1178 Mal's first huge run-in with paparazzi without Ben. I hope you all enjoy and please review. It means a lot to me. Also, keep the requests coming I promise I will get them all.

It was a normal weekend and Mal was getting ready to go out with her sister to do some shopping. Mal was not really sure about going shopping for the whole day but she would do anything for her sister. So she was getting ready. This was also the first time she would be going into town without Ben with her, so she was not sure how it would go down. Though she really was hoping for the best.

"Are you almost ready?" Evie came in the room.

"Yes just have to get my bag." She told her picking it up and walking over to the door with her.

They made their way out to the car and got in as the car. The driver shut the door behind them and made the way to the front. Once in the car, they made their way into town for a shopping trip.

Once in town, they got out of the car and made our way into the first shop which happened to be a fabric store for Evie. Mal walked around pushing the cart as Evie's pile of fabric keeps growing in size. Once Mal was having a hard time to see over it all Evie finally said she was done.

They went up front to cut what she needed and to pay. Once they were done they headed out and put the bag in the car. Then they went off to the next store. Mal was looking at the art things as Evie looked at her things.

Mal decided on a new sketchbook and pencils and then waited for Evie.

As I waited for Evie I looked around for things I could get as gifts for the others. I wanted to find things before the last minute holiday shopping that would start before I know it. It was all going to be a lot for the next while. As I looked around I found a book that I thought Bell would enjoy, as I looked closer I saw it was the first edition so I decided to get it for Bell. I looked around the rest of the store for the boys but nothing really jumped out so I when to find Evie.

Once I found her I saw that she was looking at things for her outfits.

"How's it going?"

"Good, what do you think about this?" she held up a beautiful apple charmed that had red diamonds on it.

"E it is beautiful very you. You should get it."

"You think?"

"O ya, it's amazing for you."

"Thanks, M, I'm ready now if you are."

"Yes, I am lets go pay." I told her and made our way up front to pay.

Once we were don't we made our way back to the car and the driver took the bags from us putting them in. then we made our way to the next store.

This went on for the next hour or so when we decided to eat lunch. So far things had been going pretty good, but I knew it was just a matter of time till something happened. We enjoyed a nice lunch but after that is when our day took a turn for the worse.

Most of the day had been really good without anyone recognizing who I was, although my luck had run out.

We were walking when the first reporter came running up to me.

"Mal, what is it like to be with King Ben?" That is when more started to run up to us and I held on to Evie but they still were able to separate us. I lost sight of E and started to freak out a little.

"Mal, what is your favorite thing about Auradon?"

"What do you and King Ben like to do?"

"Are you ready for the Ball?"

"Are you excited for the royal tour to start?"

The questions were coming all at once to me and I could not keep up with it all. I was having a hard time catching my breath and I had no idea what to do. I had yet to face them on my own. Ben had always been with me when they came out like this. This was one of the hard part about being with Ben. But I did care about him so much and would not give up being with him and being happy.

"Do you get along with King Adam and Queen Bell?"

"Do you like them?"

"Do they like you?"

I did like them and I hope they like me. I did not have parents like them none of us on the Isle had parents like they do here in Auradon. I was enjoying it here really I just was not sure what everyone else thought of me.

"Are you ready for the holiday season?"

"Do you think you and King Ben will stay together?"

"Is your mother still a lizard?" I could not breathe at this point.

That is when I saw the driver pushing through and Ben and Evie with him. I finally let out a breath.

"Alright," Ben said once he was at my side. He pulled me to him and held on to me.

"If you all could back up, we will answer a few questions but then we have to be off onto other things."

He was so calm with it like it was second nature to him, but I guess after growing up with it he is used to it.

"King Ben, how is your relationship with Mal and the other Vks?"

"Mal and I are doing great. I trust her and really care about her. As for the others, they have become some of my closest friends."

"Mal, do you enjoy being here?"

"I love it here, I have found friends, family, and Ben who has shown me what love is and I'm so happy that I get to be here with everyone."

"One more" Ben told them all.

"What do the two of you do in your free time?"

"We like to go for walks and we enjoy talking and learning all we can about each other. Thank you but I'm afraid that is all the time we have. Everyone have an amazing day." Ben grabbed my hand and I held onto him and Evie and we walked away.

Once into the car I felt I could breathe again, not being in front of everyone.

"Are you alright?" Ben asked once we started to drive.

"Yes, but how did you know and get there so fast?"

"I was already in town and then Evie called me."

"Well thank you, both of you." I told them. Ben pulled me closer into him and E held onto my hand.

"Of course M, you're my best friend my sister. You know I would always do anything at all for you. I know this is all still new to you. I have your back though, always."

"Thank you E, and I'm always here for you to. I'm glad we are here together. Ben thanks for bringing us here together."

"I'm glad I did, you have changed things here for the better. You have changed my life for the better."

The drive back to the school was full of small talk and just chilling out with one another. Once we got back we got our things and Ben helped take them all up to our room.

"Well I have to go meet Doug, so you can just leave my things on my bed and I will take care of them when I get back." Evie told us. We told her good bye and she went on her way.

Once she was gone I turned to look at Ben.

"Thank you for coming and having my back. I'm so glad that you are in my life now."

"No thank you for showing me this whole new part of life. You bring so much happiness into my life and I'm so grateful you are here."

"I am to Ben." We spent the next few hours talking and hanging out like weuse to.

I'm working on the next few already. So let me know if you have more. Feel free to Pm me ideas as well. Hope you all are well.
