*Mal's POV*

20/12/2015

"What are we doing today?" I said after we finished our breakfast.

"Well I thought we could go and have some fun in the snow" Ben advised with a large grin.

"How?" Evie asked as she pulled one brow up.

"Build a snowman" Ben advised.

"Ok" I said slowly.

"So you better go and get wrapped up; it's very cold outside" Ben advised as we all started to stand up to leave.

"Roger boss" I teased as we pushed our chairs under the table to go and leave to go and get ready.

"Right so what do we have to do?" I asked as we were now stood in the gardens of Auradon Castle.

"Right we start with a ball of snow like this" Ben said as he bent over and picked up some snow and started to bunch it together.

"And we start clumping snow around it to make a bigger ball" he said as he showed us.

"We need three balls, the bottom one in the biggest one and they get smaller as they go on" Ben explained.

"Me and Mal will make the biggest one" he stated and the others started to roll snow into two other balls.

"Ok" I said as I stepped closer to him as he started to roll the ball in the snow which was making it start to grow.

"Why are we doing this?" I asked.

"Because it is fun" Ben said happily as he looked at me.

"It is" I noted as I started to help him roll the enlarged snowball across the floor.

"It seems a lot of work" I added.

"Oh shush you!" he joked.

"Help me push this" he said and we started to run with the ball for a few minutes so it collected a lot more snow.

"How often do you need to make these Snowmen things?" I asked as we stood still to take a quick break.

"It's not a case of need Mal it is a case of want" Ben stated as he stepped towards me.

"We can make as many as you want" he offered.

"Or just this one" he said nodding towards the snow ball next to us.

"I see" I noted as I glanced down to it.

"Are things still confusing you?" Ben asked.

"A little" I admitted.

"But at least I know that I will be all prepared for next year" I said with a smile as I looked back up to Ben.

"Nice to know your sticking around" Ben laughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Did you have any doubts?" I asked as I pulled one brow up in confusion as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Well you never know" he said as he shrugged.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Well you might fall hopelessly in love with some other prince; and where would that leave me?" he teased.

"Hmm single and probably getting plagued by Audrey" I stated.

"Mal!" he snapped.

"What?" I asked.

"Play nice" he warned.

"I am; but even you can't say that it is NOT annoying that she appears every time we have even a teeny tiny argument" I stated as I emphasised the word 'not'.

"Siding with you; trying to make it look like whatever I have done is the worst thing since my mother tried to put her mother to sleep" I added sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.

"It is annoying" Ben agreed.

"I don't really want to argue over this" he quickly added as he tightened his arms around my waist.

"I'm not arguing" I said as I looked up at him. In all honesty I wasn't; I was just pointing out the interference that Audrey had in our relationship even after all this time.

"I'm just saying it that's all" I added as I smiled.

"We have no need to argue baby" I said as I started to stroke the back of his neck.

"Because we are going to have an amazing first Christmas together" I added which made him smile.

"In our Christmas jumpers" I teased.

"Hmm" Ben said before he pressed his lips against mine. I tightened my arms around his neck and I felt Ben slid his tongue into my mouth as he deepened the kiss. We were about to get lost into the kiss but then we heard the others shouting.

"Oi!" I heard Evie shout.

"You two!" Carlos called.

"Stop it!" Jay snapped which made us break apart.

"Urgh!" Ben groaned.

"This big enough or do we need more?" I asked as I untangled my arms from Ben's neck and stepped away from him.

"We have to roll it back over there to them" Ben advised.

"Ok" I said.

"Let's do this" I said and we both started to slowly push the large ball of snow towards the others.

"Ben" I said after a few moments.

"Yes" he replied as he looked over to me.

"How do you know that it won't be the other way around?" I asked as I concentrated on the others.

"What do you mean?" he questioned.

"You said that I could fall hopelessly in love with some other prince; you could fall in love with some other princess" I said as I threw him a look before looking back at Evie, Jay and Carlos.

"Impossible" I heard Ben say which made me look back at him.

"How?" I asked.

"I already have my perfect purple princess I don't need anyone else" he said lovingly.

"I've already told you Mal I plan to spend every Christmas for the rest of my life with you; I know that what we have is for keeps" he added with a small smile.

"Listening to your heart? I asked.

"Always baby" he answered sincerely.

"Always".

It took us a little while but we managed it; after we had three balls of snow we piled them all in height order. After we had done this Ben told us to find to long sticks; when we asked why he said that it was for the Snowman's arms. After we had found them Ben slammed them into the sides of the middle ball. We then pressed stones into it's face for eyes and mouth and a couple going down his chest. When we asked about his nose Ben pulled a carrot out of his jacket pocket and then wedged it in place.

After we looked at the snowman for a couple of seconds Ben quickly removed his scarf and wrapped it around the snowman's neck. Ben then asked to borrow one of our hats and Carlos gave him it and Ben placed it on the snow man's head.

"Cool!" Carlos said as Ben stepped back.

"Yeah" I said.

"Amazing" Evie said.

"Ben what are you doing?" I asked as I watched as Ben bent down again and picked up some snow and started to ball it together again.

"Are we making another one?" I asked innocently.

"Nope" he answered with a smug grin.

"Then what are you do-" I went to ask but was stopped when a ball of snow hit me square in the face.

"BEN!" I roared.

"Snowball fight!" Ben shouted as he ran away from me.

"Grr!" I growled as I started to chase after him.

"Get back here you!" I shouted as I ducked as he attempted to throw another ball of snow at me. Grrr! Just you wait until I get my hands on you Ben! I thought to myself as I threw a snowball at him and started to laugh wickedly as it hit him square on the back of the head.
