Another request for pinksakura271.
I only own my OCs!
Tiana's Place was crowded, but Mal and Gabby didn't mind. They were beaming as they sat at their reserved table, dressed to the nines. Mal was dressed in a floor length, dark purple gown that glittered with sequence in the lights of the restaurant. Her purple hair was styled up, similar to the way it was during Ben's coronation. Gabriella on the other hand wore a red and orange gown, the colors mixing in a way that gave the dress the image of being made of flames. Her long, ebony hair was braided and wrapped around her head like a crown.
As the time passed, Gabriella and Mal began to become agitated. They had been forced to order their food long ago, and were now finished.
"Where are they?" Gabby grumbled, glancing at her phone to check the time. "They should have been here an hour and a half ago!"
"Face it!" Mal sighed, shoving her plate away. "They got caught up in work, again, and ditched us. We should just go back to the school..."
"Hello, ladies." The girls looked up, smiling when they saw it was Naveen. "I'm sorry, but we're getting ready to close up, so you'll have to end your lady's night..."
The girls became sad, and Gabriella spoke up to correct the kind man, "It was suppose to be a date night..."
"But the boys never showed," Mal finished with a sigh.
Naveen frowned. "I'm sorry, girls."
"It's all right, Mr. Naveen. It's not your fault Ben and Luc don't know when to stop working."
The girls left from the restaurant, angry and disheartened.
"So, what now?" Mal asked, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Want to enchant some of my arrowheads and see what happens when they hit stuff?"
"...Let's do it."
Meanwhile, at Castle Beast, Ben and Lucian were head deep in paperwork, which had been cheerfully given to them by their fathers.
"I swear, they enjoy giving us paperwork," Lucian scowled, handing Ben another paper. "This one needs your signature to approve new trade routes with China, Arendelle, and Maldonia."
Ben sighed, signing the paper and setting it aside. "I think you're right. Are we almost done?"
"No, not yet..."
"Yes, yes you are." The boys looked up, finding Belle and Fifi standing in the doorway and looking disappointed.
"Mom, I-"
"Benjamin, I'm very disappointed in you!" Belle scolded. "What was tonight?"
"Mama, what are you two going on about?" Lucian sighed, looking up at the women with tired eyes. "What is so special about today besides the fact that Ben and I have been swamped with paperwork for hours and won't be done till dawn?"
Fifi sighed. "Oh, ma petite flamme de bougie, I love you, but you can be such an idiot sometimes."
Ben and Luc shared a look with each other, and then looked at their mothers. "Please, we're exhausted, what is it that you're trying to tell us?"
Belle huffed. "Your date started two hours ago."
"What?" Luc asked. "No, we still have-" He froze as he looked at his watch. "Oh, no."
Ben groaned. "We're dead."
"No, no we can make this right! I think..."
Satisfied that their work was done, the two mothers walked away.
"Okay, who's going in first?" Ben asked, glancing at Luc.
"I'm not! They're messing with magic and Ella's arrowheads. That's like asking to die!" Luc whispered, hands moving around spastically. "You go! They can't kill the king!"
"Okay, we'll decide this the old fashion way."
Luc nodded.
Both boys held one hand out, palm up, and then took their other hand and made a fist.
"Ready?" Ben asked.
Luc smirked. "Ready."
"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"
Luc chose scissors, while Ben appeared to choose rock. Luc sent out a small fire ball, which burned Ben's hand and made him open it with a hiss. Luc smirked as he snipped Ben's hand. "I win."
"You cheated!" Ben hissed, examining his hand.
"I prefer to call it surviving..."
"You're both idiots." The boys whirled around to face Mal and Gabby.
Ben sighed. "We know."
"And we are both more sorry than you can ever believe," Luc added.
Mal set a hand on her hip. "Really? Is this the part where we forgive you just because you said 'sorry'?"
Ben smiled. "No, this is the part where we make it up to you..."
The girls shared a look, Gabby stepping forward to speak. "What do you have in mind...?"
Ben and Luc led the girls to the garden, which was decorated with lit candles and rose petals surrounding two candle lit tables for two. Fairy lights hung from the trees, giving the site a fairy tale vibe.
Mal and Gabby smiled and hugged their boys.
"Are we forgiven?" Ben asked with a grin.
Mal smiled at him. "Almost..."
The girls backed away and Gabby took out two arrowheads. Clicking a button on each one, she tossed them at the boys' feet. There was a faint beeping and then a puff of purple and red smoke. The boys coughed, waving a hand in front of their faces to clear the smoke. When it was gone, they were meant with the gaping faces of their girlfriends.
"What?" they asked.
"Mal, what spells did you use...?"
"Um..."
Gabby groaned, closing her eyes as she face-palmed. "Seriously?!"
"I was too angry to see which ones I did!" Mal defended.
"Well, do you remember now?"
"I have an idea..."
"Ella, what's the matter?" Luc asked confused, walking up to Gabriella, who now appeared to be shorter than usual. "What...?"
"Mal...?"
"I can fix it! I think..."
Gabriella scowled. "Why would you pick these ones?!"
"I don't know, okay?!"
"Girls!" Ben called, returning Gabriella and Mal's focus on him. "What's wrong?"
"Yeah Mal, why not tell them what's wrong?" Gabby drawled, pushing Mal forward slightly.
"Okay, so I...might have enchanted the arrowheads with a...uh, you're going think this is funny, I sorta, kind of spelled Luc with a growth spell and Ben with a...um..."
"Mal...?"
"Um, I totally forgive you, now!"
"Mal, what did you do?"
"Um..."
"She turned you into a puppy," Gabriella deadpanned.
Ben's eyes widened. "W-what? She's joking, right?"
Mal looked guilty. "No..." She walked to him and picked him up. "On the bright side, you're a cute puppy..."
"I don't want to be a puppy! Fix this!"
"It's not permanent! Just...temporary!"
"For how long?!"
"I'm...not sure..."
Gabriella rolled her eyes, but yelped when Lucian suddenly picked her up bridal style. "Lucian! Put me down!"
"Aw, you look cute when you're short..."
Gabby glowered. "That spell better rub off soon..."
"So, do you forgive me?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're forgiven. Now, put me down."
At that moment, both boys were covered in a shimmering mist. Ben grew and transformed back into his normal self, causing Mal to fall under his weight, while Luc shrunk and struggled to hold Gabby once back to regular size.
Mal smiled at Ben's frowning face. "Um, I'm sorry...?"
He smiled, leaning down to kiss her. "I can't stay mad at you."
Luc finally set Gabriella on her feet. "I really am sorry we missed the date..."
"I know, just don't it again, or you'll regret."
"Got it."
There we go! Two requests left, one a special Valentine's Day chapter and will be posted next, and the other tomorrow.
