Fay May Day: Faerys Moving Day.
Well, the day had come. May 31. Saturday. After a long 'See you on the other side of the portal' party last night in Halloweentown, Mal and Penelope were moving to Auradon for food. Mal was overly excited to be moving back to her old home with her friends. She'll miss her Halloweentown friends, but they're just around the corner. Penelope was a bit excited to be moving too, but still worried about living here permanently.
The two girls packed up the last of their suitcase and took one more glance around the living room, holding hands. "Kind of weird that we're not coming back here for a while." Mal said. "We've lived here since you were two years old."
"How long is that?"
"Four years in October." Mal answered. "Lots of memories in this house." Okay, so Mal was becoming emotional thinking about leaving here. There literally were too many good, happy memories in this house. Hell, she had mostly and mainly good memories in Halloweentown. Mal looked down and squeezed her little's girls hand. "You excited?"
Penelope nodded.
"Alrighty then," Mal said. "Wanna help me out?" Again Penelope nodded. "Okay. Hold your hand out."
Penelope held up her free hand as Mal held up her own free hand.
Mal said the spell, "From Halloweentown depart we now, on this the morning of June the first morning eve; back into the Auradon world, through the portal we take our leave."
Soon a doorway opened; bronzed corners with the middle part divided open and a blue-gray mist appearing in front of them. The sign above the door read in gold; To Auradon. Mal and Penelope smiled and picked up their suitcases and walked through the portal.
Ben finished writing down the last few words on the list he had in front of them and checked it over three times, making sure it was all perfect. Hopefully Mal could remember most of these places. He was sure she would since she's been traveling all over Auradon the past couple of months.
"Perfect." He smiled.
He felt a large gush of wind blow from behind him. Ben turned and found the familiar bronzed corner walls/doors of a doorway and the middle part diving open to reveal the blue-gray mist inside. Ben smiled and rose up just as two girls came jogging out of the doorway.
"Mommy? How come sometimes it take ten minutes to get there and other time it take ten seconds?" Penelope asked.
"I have no idea. But at least this stuff takes seconds to minutes and not hours." Mal smiled. She spotted Ben across from them. "Look Nelly, it's an old man."
"Funny." Ben said with a chuckle. "How are you two doing?"
"We're fine." Mal said and put her suitcase down. "Just a little weird to not being going back." Mal said.
"What that Ben?" Penelope asked, looking at the paper in his hand.
"Oh it's a fun thing for you two," Ben said. "A scavenger hunt."
"Scavenger hunt?" Mal asked. "Why a scavenger hunt?"
"Because they're fun." Ben said. "You guys wanna rest first?"
Before Mal could 'yes', Penelope happily said, "No. I wanna hunt."
"Guess we're going on the scavenger hunt." Mal smirked. She took the paper from Ben's hands. "You going with us?"
Ben sighed. "No. Work."
"All right then." Mal said. She looked at the paper and said the riddle to Penelope. "Riddle me this; I'm tall and bricked with my sunlight as bright as a flower...Ben, what the hell sort of riddle is this? It doesn't rhyme."
"I tried."
"This doesn't make sense."
Ben smirked. "Relax, purple long hair." He winked.
"Don't tell me to relax Benjamin! And my hair isn't that...oh," Mal said. She laughed. "Okay, I know where we're going. Come on Nelly!" She said.
The two girls ran out of the room, holding hands, ready for their new adventure.
Hours passed. Fifteen different locations were found and discovered by the two fairy girls. It was around four thirty in the afternoon now, six hours passed their arrival. Mal and Penelope were both exhausted from their scavenger hunt, but happy and had the time of their lives traveling all over Auradon.
Mal, carrying Penelope on her hip, entered inside the castle and walked around looking for Ben. She asked Cogsworth and Lumiere where Ben could be and they both pointed to the library, and continued back to their bickering about some sort of event coming up.
Mal found the library and saw Ben inside speaking with Belle and laughing, just outside the doors of the library. Mal walked over unnoticed and stood there for a full minute, Penelope standing at her side, before she was noticed by Belle. "Mal," She said sweetly and went in to hug the girl. "I haven't seen you all morning. How are you?"
"I'm good," Mal said and hugged Belle back. "Your son decided that Penelope and I should go on a scavenger hunt upon our arrival."
"Mom, I had meetings all day. I had to keep them occupied for most of the day." Ben explained.
"Well that would explain why you needed to find the book with the map of Auradon the other week," Belle said with a smile. She noticed the smaller purple haired girl and squatted down to her eye level. "Hi Penelope. How are you?"
"Good." Penelope said with a smile. She heard her little tummy grumble. "Mommy? Are we eating soon? I'm hungry."
"One of the chefs made some cookies earlier. Would you like a cookie?" Belle asked
Penelope nodded, then looked up at Mal, who nodded. "Go head. Just not too many."
Once Belle and Penelope were out of site Mal turned back to Ben and smirked. "That was a fun adventure today." She said. Ben wrapped his arms around Mal's waist and pulled her in.
"Finally alone time," Ben said softly.
Mal giggled. "I haven't had this alone time in weeks."
The duo leaned in and connected lips. Sweet, caring, passionate lip locking. No interruptions from anyone at all. Ben pulled out for a brief second. "I love you," He whispered.
"I love you." Mal whispered back, then kissed him again.
Their kissing lasted for a few more, wonderful minutes.
"What am I? Chop liver?"
