AU. Mal has been raised in Auradon by the three good faires (Flora, Fauna and Merryweather) and has been friends with Evie, Audrey, Jay and Carlos from being small.

Ever since she had come to Auradon Prep she had been receiving various small gifts, home baked treats and letters/poems from a secret admirer. Mal had no idea who it could be either. Other them Carlos, Jay, Audrey and Evie she kept to herself and certainly hadn't had any romantic interactions with anyone. Although she wasn't too stubborn to admit she had fallen for the Prince of Auradon but she was sure he didn't even know she existed.

As was normal for her now on a saturday, Mal was sat in her room sketching while Evie was out with her boyfriend Doug. What surprised her was the knock on her dorm room door. Cautiously Mal stood and walked over to the door, surprised to find a tall blonde man holding a bunch of purple roses. "Are you Mal?" He asked her, causing her to open the door wider and nod to him. "These are for you." He stated handing the bouquet of roses to her before leaving.

Mal couldn't help but be confused as she closed the door, her gaze locked on the roses in her hands. It was as she was heading back to her bed that she noticed the small blue and yellow envelope sticking out of the top. Mal pulled a purple vase out of the cupboard, Flora had bought her to decorate her dorm room with, and after filling it with water and placed the flowers in it. Only then did she remove the note. All her instincts were telling her not to read this but her curiosity had gotten the better of her.

Dear Mal,

I'm sure you must be confused as to who I am and why I have been sending you gifts for the past few months. Well I will explain all of that I promise. Please meet me at the enchanted lake at 1pm.

Love,

Your secret admirer xxx

Mal reread the card three times before allowing a smile to spread across her face. It seemed her questions were finally going to be answered. She would give anything for it to be Prince Ben but she knew it wouldn't be. As she checked the time on her phone she noticed it was a little past 12 already. The teen quickly got up and headed to get dressed for what was essentially a date with whoever was sending her these gifts.

An hour later and Mal was slowly walking down the path to the ruins at the enchanted lake. She was beyond thankful she had chosen to wear her flat ankle boots with her black skinny jeans and purple dressy blouse. What surprised and confused her was that while there was a picnic on the ruins there wasn't anybody else in sight. The teen kept scanning the area for any sign of whoever it was she was supposed to be meeting, but she couldn't see anything.

As she reached the picnic Mal looked around. The ruins were scattered with purple rose petals, the food on the blanket was all laid out but nobody around. The purplette was about to turn and leave when she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly turned and found she was unable to speak as her eyes landed on Prince Ben.

"Hi Mal." He said. The young prince could easily see the shock on the purplette's face and he didn't blame her.

"Ben?" Mal said once she finally found her voice. The teen prince nodded to the girl in front of him, who just couldn't get over her shock. "You're the one who has been sending me the gifts?" She asked him. Mal hoped this wasn't a trick, she didn't think she could cope if he was playing some kind of practical joke on her.

Nodding Ben answered her. "Yeah, that's been me." He admitted. "I would have told you sooner but I didn't want to freak you out. You always seemed quite shy and I thought if I told you it was me it would scare you away." He explained and Mal could kind of understand why he had done it this way. Even now it was kind of overwhelming to her that the Prince of Auradon liked her. "Would you stay and have a picnic lunch with me?" The teen prince asked her as he held out his hand for her to take. He wouldn't blame her if she ran away.

"You mean like a date?" Mal questioned.

"Yes." Ben responded to her, a shy yet hopeful smile gracing his face.

"I'd love to." She said, taking his offered hand. She had no idea what it was going to be like dating the future king, or anyone for that matter, but she really liked the prince and hoped whatever was happening between them would work out.
