It's high time I finally got to this moment. I've kept Mal and Ben separated for most of this story, mostly because I didn't want Mal's story here to be mostly about romance. But now... enjoy.

Leave a review after reading, please. Feedback is always appreciated.

I'd like to thank the following users for reviewing the previous chapter: danifan3000, DragonEmperor999, CarvieCamfia2, Mustang52, xez2003

In the hidden forest, Ben and his friends are planning ahead on finding a new place to move in the event the villains find out where they're hiding. True, Ben doesn't trust Mal and he doesn't like it that she led them to this place, but he's willing to stay here for as long as his people can. Ben and his friends are gathered around a large map that shows all of Auradon, looking for places they haven't thought to hide in.

"How about the shore on the far side of the Border Lands?" Chad suggested.

"We'll be out in the open," said Ben.

"Maybe the oasis in the north," Jane suggested.

"Too small," said Audrey.

"One of the uncharted islands?" Jordan suggested.

"Too risky," said Scarlet.

"We're running out of spots to look," said Chad. "I don't wanna give up, but..."

"I know it looks hopeless, Chad, and it's hard not to feel hopeless. But we can't stay here," said Ben.

"Oh, what would Lonnie say if she were here?" Ally asked sadly.

"She would say that our best bet is scouting unexplored areas ourselves," said Ben.

"That's even riskier than the islands," said Scarlet. "But it could help."

"Okay, we'll send one team to each location we mark," Ben suggested. "Small teams. We can't afford to lose more than we already did."

"Guys!"

CJ came running in, cutting the discussion short.

"Carlos escaped," said CJ.

"You were supposed to keep an eye on him," said Ben.

"I was, but he got the slip on me," said CJ. "C'mon! He's somewhere deep in the woods. Help me for Pete's sake."

"All of you go. Carlos must not leave this forest," Ben ordered.

Audrey, Chad, Jane, Jordan, Ally, and Scarlet followed CJ deeper into the forest to look for Carlos. She suggested they split up to cover more ground. Ally stayed with Jordan while Scarlet accompanied CJ. The rest searched for Carlos on their own. Little did they know that something (or someone) surprising was waiting for them.

Audrey kept her sword up in case of an attack. You never what could be skulking through these woods. True, they've been living here a while, but they haven't ventured anywhere close to the barrier's perimeter. She heard something coming through the bushes. Fortunately (or unfortunately), it's just the purple-haired sorceress who led her to this place.

"I see you trusted me after all," said Mal.

"I... I didn't want to, but..." Audrey paused.

"Something inside told you that trusting me was the right thing to do," Mal guessed. "Now, why is that?"

"You tell me," said Audrey.

Instead of explaining the feeling, Mal changed the subject.

"You haven't put down the sword because of who I'm related to," said Mal. "My mother killed your parents and you blame me for that."

"I mean... I shouldn't, but... it's hard not to," said Audrey.

"Water under the bridge?" Mal asked casually.

"Totes?" Audrey replied nervously.

"Totes!" Mal responded happily.

Upon hearing and saying the word "totes," Audrey started to feel a massive headache. That headache is followed by millions of images flashing in her mind, as if something was trying to pierce her brain. It was very painful.

Her and Mal meeting for the first time.

Her being angry at Mal about the Jewel-bilee disaster.

Dating Chad, breaking up with him, and then dating him again.

By the time Audrey opened her eyes, Mal was already gone. But Audrey remembers now. She trusted Mal because there was something deep down inside her that came from the trust she had in her in the old world. Remembering the old world, Audrey begins to panic.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ROTTEN TO THE CORE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Chad could hear laughter in the shadows. It spooked him, but he tried to keep his knees from shaking as he remained alert. Someone poked him in the back, causing him to step back and turn around with his sword raised high. Whether it was a good thing or bad thing, Mal is there.

"Stay back, witch," said Chad.

"Relax, Chad. I just came here to give you a hug," said Mal.

"I said stay back," Chad repeated.

"I was hoping we could do this peacefully, but I guess I have to use a little magic," said Mal.

Mal sets Chad's sword on fire, including the handle, causing him to drop it. After that, Mal gave Chad a crushing hug. As she slowly crushes his lungs, his mind starts to overwhelm him with images of a different life.

Lashing out on the VKs at Family Day.

Trying to prevent Lonnie from being part of the R.O.A.R. team.

Getting back together with Audrey.

Just like with Audrey, Mal disappeared as soon as Chad opened his eyes. As confused as he was about why she hugged him, the new world's horrors came back to mind. And Audrey.

"Audrey, I'm coming," he said as he ran to where he last saw her.

Jane regrets going off alone, but she wanted to prove to herself that she can be brave. It's been a peaceful search so far, with the exception of evil-sounding laughter in the bushes. But so far, she's not panicking. Well, until someone decided to give her a scare.

"Hi, there!'

"Whoa!" Jane screamed.

It was Mal.

"You scared me," said Jane.

"I meant to," Mal said playfully. "Now, hold still. I don't want you to mess this up." Waving her finger, she chants, "Beware for swear, replace the old with new hair."

Just like the first time, Mal changes Jane's hair from short and plain to longer and beautiful. And with a simple mirror to see her new hair, Jane remembers something. She remembers the first time Mal did it to her. Of course, since this is Jane of the new world, she doesn't remember this.

"Have we met before?" Jane wondered.

"That didn't work?" Mal asked. "Too bad. I thought it would. Well, I guess there's one more thing I can try."

"I'm not sure..."

Mal took one step closer and unleashed her wicked stare - glowing green eyes and all - as well as a growl. Jane stepped back in fear, only for the bright green eyes to inject not just fright into her heart but also images into her mind.

The first time Mal glared at her with that stare.

The fiasco at the Coronation, especially her grabbing her mother's wand.

Carlos asking her out to Cotillion.

Mal vanished as soon as Jane came to. Remembering both the old and new world, she dropped to her knees. All these horrors she experience, yet she never really did. What's real and what's not, she couldn't tell due to having two sets of memories in her brain.

Ally stayed behind Jordan as they slowly walked over logs and fallen branches. Jordan keeps a tight grip on her lamp as she prepares for danger. Ally has only a light sword for protection (no one trusts her with a heavier, sharper one). Ally holding a sword. Weird sight, isn't it?

"Relax, Ally. Think of this as practice. It's your first fight since that stupid goblin three years ago," said Jordan.

"Not exactly comforting, but we are at war," Ally said nervously.

"All these years of war, and you're still a shaking puppy?" Jordan questioned.

"Well, no one asked me to be on the battlefield, so..." Ally said.

Ally and Jordan stopped when they found something on the ground. It was a music player with a set of headphones. Ally picks it up and turns on the music player. There was only one song on it. "Good Is The New Bad." She places the headphones next to her ear and prepares to play the song.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Jordan.

Too late. Ally pressed the "play" button. As she listened to the song, she felt something ringing in her head. It wasn't the song, rather it was something else. Closing her eyes as her headache got worse, she started seeing things.

Meeting Freddie... and her shrunken head.

Singing "Good Is The New Bad" on stage with Mal, Evie, Audrey, Lonnie, and Freddie.

The Jewel-bilee.

"Ally?" Jordan called as she grabbed her friend's shoulder.

"I think I just jumped into the deepest rabbit hole ever," Ally mumbled.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jordan.

All of a sudden, Jordan gets sucked into her own lamp. And then someone poofed into her lamp. It was Mal. She just made herself at home and sat down on a very comfy bean bag while chewing on a strawberry. It was silence for the first few seconds. Mal just munched on her favorite fruit while Jordan looked left and right for no reason.

"The fruits in this forest are divine," said Mal. "That's why I picked it for you."

"What are you doing here and what are you doing here in my lamp?" Jordan asked.

"Right, you have a dress code," Mal said sarcastically. "Fine. I'll change."

Mal changes into the Arabian-type outfit that Old World Jordan made for her when she visits the genie's lamp. She's not a fan of the chiffon, but it's according to the dress code. Once Jordan saw the outfit, it triggered something in her mind.

Mal and her friends poofing in during her livestream.

Her giving Mal and her friends (minus Ben) clothes according to her lamp's dress code.

The Neon Lights Ball.

By the time Jordan opened her eyes, all she saw was purple smoke fading away. That meant Mal just left. She'd be panicking now due to the horrors of the new world and remembering the old world, but all she could think of now is... how did Mal get into her lamp?

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ROTTEN TO THE CORE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

CJ leads Scarlet to a spot close to the barrier's perimeter. Scarlet kept her bow and arrow raised so she can release the string when she sees danger. CJ did the same with her sword, holding it to prepare to take the first swing at the sight of danger. What they found through a wall of leaves is...

Carlos. Just sitting next to a boulder.

"Hey, sis," Carlos greeted casually.

"You're... still here?" Scarlet asked.

"Um, yeah. I only escaped, like, five minutes ago," said Carlos. "Not enough to escape... not that I need to."

"Why?" asked Scarlet.

A hand suddenly touches the back of Scarlet's head. Magic flows into her until she faints, falling asleep. That was Mal, of course.

"Too bad I never met Scarlet. I don't have anything that can restore her memories," said Mal. "Why did her parents name her Scarlet anyway? Sounds like something they would do for a friend who sacrificed himself to save them."

"Mom... Maid Marian... told me that Will Scarlet saved her and Robin Hood when they were attacked by Sheriff Nottingham's men at the Lone Keep. Marian was just about to give birth that day. Will sacrificed himself to get her and Robin out of the keep," Carlos said. "Then she was born and her parents named her after Will to honor his memory. But three days later, he showed up alive. He escaped Nottingham's men. With a few scratches, I might add."

"That's... sweet, I guess," Mal reacted.

"Okay, Puppy Lover and I will hide Scarlet so no one finds her. But what about Benny?" asked CJ.

"Well, after you lured everyone away from him, I managed to lure him to a certain spot where he and I can be alone," said Mal.

Carlos and CJ take the sleeping Scarlet to a spot in the woods where the others are. Audrey, Chad, Jane, Ally, and Jordan. Carlos and CJ carefully put Scarlet down in a sitting position and makes sure her head rests on the tree bark. The others were silent, which is weird. But it was obvious why. To remember the old but to retain the memories of their new lives in this nightmarish world, it's too much.

Guess who else is there? Evie and Jay. Jay, however, was still asleep due to Mal's magic.

"You guys feeling okay?" Evie asked.

"Trying to be," said Audrey. "I mean... it just... it all feels so..."

"Like the life we lived here is the real one instead of the real real one?" Carlos guessed.

"All the deaths I've seen, all the carnage... I can't forget it," said Jane.

"At least we're finally together," said Carlos.

"Now we know why you trusted Mal. She helped you remember the old world," Chad said to the white-haired archer. "Well, now we believe you 100%."

"But why would Mal wish for a world filled with our worst nightmares?" Ally wondered.

"It was random, not chosen. That's as far as we can tell," said Carlos.

"Are those two gonna be okay?" Jordan asked, gesturing to their slumbering slumbering allies.

"Mal put them to sleep," said Evie.

"There was no way to wake Scarlet up, to really wake her up," said CJ.

"One question. Why is she here with us?" Chad asked, pointing at the blonde pirate.

"You got something to say, Prince Charming?" CJ snarled.

"You tried to kill us," Chad said hatefully.

"Many times," Audrey added.

"I still see the Sea of Storms in my nightmares," said Jane.

"Guys, guys, stop it," Evie interrupted. "CJ is here to help us."

"Like heck she is," Chad snapped.

"I don't want to believe it either," said Evie. "But..."

"I can talk for myself, Princess," said CJ. "Look, I know you all have no reason to trust me. I don't have any reason to believe any of you will. I am and still a villain. I won't deny that I tried to make you all walk the plank and into a swirly pool of despair. But my priority here is my brother. I lo... lo..."

"Love him," Evie finished.

CJ sighs in shame and says, "Yeah, whatever. I remember everything about the old world, which means that I remember the last thing I did before we ended up here."

"Dying?" Audrey asked.

"Getting my brother back," CJ corrected. She growled at the princess as well.

"But after that, what then?" asked Evie. "Are you two gonna go back to being our enemies, or are you gonna forge a new life?"

"We'll walk that burning plank when we get there," said CJ. "Right now, like it or not, we're allies."

"If you were really my girlfriend, I'd kiss you right now," Carlos joked.

"Oh, so now you wanna make fun of this?" CJ questioned.

"Wait, you two were... what?! Ew!" Chad said in disgust.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Ben follows this strange sound he heard. Laughter in the shadows. Female, sounds evil, and it sends chills down his spine. That's why he's holding his sword with two hands right now. One thing his father taught him is to always be alert whenever an enemy is nearby. Never let your guard down and keep a tight grip on your sword's handle, he said.

Then he heard the laughter again.

"Mal?" Ben guessed. "If that's you, show yourself! I'm not afraid."

Poofing in and laughing still is Mal herself. Her laughter lasted for quite a while until she finally stopped with a sigh of delight.

"Oh, the look on your face," said Mal. "Spooked by a girl's laughter. Priceless."

For some reason, Ben just growls like a beast and charges at her. He swings his sword at her, but she dodges it. He keeps swinging at her and she keeps avoiding his blade. She grabs his blade with her hand and squeezes, breaking it in half. Then she kicks Ben in the stomach so he can fall down on his rear, giving her time to speak.

"Whoa, aren't you mad?" Mal said.

"Mad? Mad?! That's all you have to say to me?!" Ben said angrily.

Ben grabs what's left of his sword and keeps swinging at her. Mal dodges his swings before firing a small magic blast at his chest in the form of a palm strike, knocking him down again.

"I saved your people. Why are you attacking me?" Mal asked.

"Saved us? You think you saved us?! Lonnie is dead, along with hundreds more of my people!" Ben shouted.

"I'm sorry," Mal apologized.

Ben angrily throws the broken sword at Mal. She just tilts her head to the left as the sword flies by and sticks itself to a tree.

"You don't get to talk to me like that," said Ben. "Lonnie was not just my ally. She was my friend. She was family, one of the few I still have left."

"And you blame me for her death?" Mal accused.

"None of this would've happened if you hadn't gotten involved with us," said Ben. "Maybe you're not your mother's pawn, but your meddling cost us too much."

"Nothing I do is ever good enough for you, is it?" Mal asked.

"I have to admit, I was willing to give you benefit of the doubt after you saved me from Gaston," said Ben. "But after all we've lost that day, how can you expect me to just change my mind?"

"All this judgmental behavior, all because I'm my mother's daughter," Mal assumed.

"I know where I come from. I know where you come from. I know what I stand for, but I don't know what you stand for," said Ben. "But nothing good ever comes out of whatever you have planned. You corrupted Carlos, risked our lives, and tried to manipulate us into trusting you. You are nothing if not worse than your mother."

"You are so different from the man I knew. He would never judge anyone just because of where they come from," Mal said.

"I don't know you, and you don't know me," said Ben.

"You're wrong. I do," said Mal.

"How could you possibly?" Ben asked.

"I gave you your father's ring. Surely, that reminded you of something," said Mal.

"You mean the witchery you planted in my head?" Ben accused. "I don't know what you're playing at and I don't care. All I care about is..."

"The safety of your people, I know," Mal interrupted. "But if you won't accept me, then you doom everything good in this world."

Ben walks away from Mal, but she just poofs right in front of him, blocking his path. She would follow whatever direction he attempts to take, making sure he can't go back and warn his people.

"I'd ask you to get out of my way, but we both know you won't," said Ben.

"Did our talk at the Enchanted Lake mean nothing to you?" asked Mal. "I don't need to see into your mind to know what you saw. You saw me die, didn't you? You knew how you felt that day. That memory alone should have been enough."

"A memory? Memory of what?" Ben asked through his gritted teeth.

"A memory of a better life," said Mal. "A life where you and me, we were... we meant the world to each other."

"We mean nothing to each other," Ben growled.

"You know, Ben. I am so sick of your accusations and assumptions. I can't blame you for that, but I do blame you for not giving me the chance to prove myself," said Mal.

"Why do you insist on doing this to me?" Ben asked as his voice cracked. "I lost my parents, a lot of innocent people... Lonnie. Why must you attempt to console me? Why persist?"

Mal takes off her glove and says, "Because you and I are destined to be one."

Ben saw an engagement ring on Mal's finger. This sight triggered a couple more "memories" in his mind. The first is of him proposing to Mal. The second is of her proposing to him in a cave. His belief that this is all witchery is slowly starting to disappear.

"Listen to your heart, Ben. You know that all I'm saying is true," said Mal.

Hearing Mal say "listen to your heart" triggered yet another memory. Coronation Day. Ben tells Mal that his heart is telling him that there is good in her. Mal tells everyone that she wants to be good.

"Enough. Enough!" Ben shouted. "No more! I will not succumb to your witchery. You have made all of us suffer all for some twisted game and I will no longer participate in it. Just leave me and my people alone."

Ben walks away again. This time, Mal doesn't stop him by poofing in front of him. The anger and grief shown in his face and voice, she couldn't blame him for losing faith in her. Still, that doesn't change what needs to happen. Instead of poofing, she sings a song to him, starting off softly.

Mal

Did I mention
I'm in love with you
Did I mention
There's nothin' I can do
Did I happen to say
I dream of you every day
But let me shout it out loud if that's okay
If that's okay

Ben stops walking as he listens to these lyrics. He couldn't help but remember them. But how? As Mal's voice got louder with each line, he abandoned almost all thought of just walking away. He just stood there, but his back remained turned. While his doubt remained, his heart was screaming at him to stay and listen. It's like some force is pulling him towards her. And he's fighting it. And he's losing.

Mal

I met this boy that rocked my world
Like it's never been rocked
And now I'm livin' just for him
And I won't ever stop
I never thought that it could happen to a girl like me
But now look at what you've done
You've got me down on my knees

Because my love for you is ridiculous
I never knew
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S

It's ridiculous
Just ridiculous
And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss

Ben feels himself wanting to turn around and look at her. He fights the urge to, but he's losing. This song, it definitely sounded familiar. His brain was starting to ache, but in a good way. That's because his entire body was responding to the message being given to him by his own heart.

Mal

Did I mention
I'm in love with you
Did I mention
There's nothin' I can do
Did I happen to say
I dream of you every day
But let me shout it out loud if that's okay
If that's okay

I gotta know which way to go
C'mon, give me a sign
You gotta show me that you're only ever gonna be mine
Don't wanna go another minute livin' without you
'Cause if your just isn't in it, I don't know what I'd do

'Cause my love for you is ridiculous
I never knew
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous
My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S

It's ridiculous
Just ridiculous
And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss
C'mon now!

Mal slowly walks closer towards Ben. It was there when he finally decided to turn around and look at her. She takes his hand into hers and makes sure a finger of his touches both the engagement ring. She, in turn, touches the golden signet ring on his finger. As Ben stared into her emerald green eyes and strawberry red smile, more and more images of the past overcame his mind. He closed his eyes as he saw all of them.

Meeting Mal on her first day at Auradon Prep.

Singing "Did I Mention" to her after a Tourney game.

Their first date.

Their first kiss.

Set It Off!

Dressing up like a VK to sneak into the Isle of the Lost.

All the splashing and dancing at the Royal Cotillion.

Mal's death and resurrection.

Their first "special" night together.

Their final kiss before the Wishing Well's magic changed the world.

And so much more. Everything. All the memories of his old life in the old world. It's all coming back to him, including his true feelings for Mal. As he opened his eyes and gazed upon hers once again, he smiled. He finally smiled at her. After all this time, after all the attempts to convince him, he finally smiles at her. Mal's smile grew wider. She can see it. He remembers.

Mal & Ben

Because my love for you is ridiculous
I never knew
That it could be like this
My love for you is ridiculous

Mal

My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S

Ben

R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S

Mal

It's

Ben

Ridiculous!

Mal

Just

Ben

Ridiculous!

Mal

And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss

Mal & Ben

C'mon now!

After taking a few deep breaths due to all the singing, Mal and Ben quickly lean in for their first kiss in forever. Mal puts her hands on Ben's cheeks and pulls him even closer, deepening the kiss as she has missed this. Her lips on his. Their touch upon each other's skin. The feeling that his presence gives her. Two months in this nightmare of a world and this moment right here is all she ever wanted. Not domination. Not her mother's death. But to win back Ben's love. Her desire to pay her penance has blinded her from love, but not anymore.

From the bushes, their friends watched. To see them finally reunited after so many horrors and struggles, it was a lovely sight. They made sure to keep their distance as the two lovers slowly ended the kiss to look at one another with love in both their eyes.

"Did I mention that I love you?" Ben asked.

"Did I mention that I love you?" Mal replied.

All of a sudden, Mal started glowing. The glow was of the color of gold. It came from her eyes and hands. It came from her mouth as well, as seen when she opened it. The glow grew bigger and bigger. Both Mal and Ben stepped away from each other as the golden glow. Their friends braced themselves just in case, but they kept their eyes on Mal.

"What is happening?" Ben asked.

Suddenly, a burst of light occurred. It shined the entire area, forcing Ben and their friends in the bushes to shield their eyes. Mal was suspended in the air as she felt foreign magic run through her veins. The glow soon died and Mal fell to the ground. She stood on her knees and remained that way for a while. Ben quickly ran towards her in case she needed help.

"Are you okay?" Ben asked.

"I think I am," Mal said.

Ben helps Mal back on her feet. He holds her gently but also with so much care. It made Mal really happy that he could hold her like this instead of trying to stab her with a sword.

"What happened?" Ben asked.

"This magic, I've felt it before," said Mal.

"What magic?" asked Ben.

"The magic of the Wishing Well," Mal answered.

Meanwhile, in Bayou De Orleans, Freddie Facilier has just returned to her father's voodoo shop after attending a funeral. Well, the voodoo shop now belongs to her, all because the funeral was for her father. There was no body to recover, unfortunately. The villains buried an empty coffin with Dr. Facilier's name on it. Not even a villain or a villain kid could blame Freddie for shedding a tear at the funeral. Her father meant a lot to her, as she meant a lot to him. He treated her well, taught her everything she knew. One can even say she loved her father, even if love is not for villains.

"I swear, Mal, if I ever find you again, you're gonna pay," Freddie said vengefully.

When Freddie returned to her bedroom (the voodoo shop is also a house, by the way), she found something odd. A buffet. A large one. There's cranberry sauce, a chocolate fountain, fruit shaped like animals, and even more.

"What the hell is all this?" Freddie wondered. "I swear, if this is pity food, I am gonna..."

Freddie stopped when she found a note. It said, "My condolences. From Mal." Angered, Freddie burned the note in her hand with magical fire. The smell of the puffed deliciousness of the buffet was tempting her to take a bite, but she knew better than to accept food from the enemy, especially Mal. There was the one time she poisoned Evie's apple. It didn't kill her, but it did make her act like a ditsy klutz for six hours.

But she couldn't resist.

"Fine," she said.

Freddie grabs one cupcake and takes a bite out of it. As she chewed and swallowed, she started to feel something strange. It's not indigestion. It's not the feeling of falling asleep. It's a headache, followed by strange images in her head.

Seeing Mal, Evie, Ben, and Audrey in her father's shop.

Bumping into Lonnie on her first buffet, which started a rivalry between them.

CJ risking her life to save her.

"CJ! Wait... Mal... what am I... dad?" Freddie was overwhelmed by the memory restoration. "Wait, if this is... it's not... real... if so then... Lonnie... oh, no. Lonnie. I have... I have to get out of here. Gotta find Mal."

More and more are finally remembering, including Freddie. Jay, however, he's gonna have to wait until probably the next chapter.

But I want to talk about Mal and Ben. I've been trying to build up to this moment since I started this story, and I hope that it was worth the wait. I didn't want True Love's Kiss to be the trigger. I wanted something just as special. All I ask is... What do you think? Leave a review and please let me know what you think of Mal and Ben's moment.
