Carlos POV
Today is going to be a good day because later tonight I am taking my "fake" girlfriend Mal on a date. I am a little nervous about our first date because I want it to be perfect even though it is all just pretend. Mal told me that I don't have to really take her out on a date just to make our relationship "real" but I want to because I want an excuse to hang out with her along. My friends Evie, Jane and Lonnie are helping me make tonight perfect for my date with Mal. Evie is designing an outfit for me to wear for tonight. Jane is helping me set up the perfect place for my date with Mal. Jane suggested that I should take Mal to the Enchanted Lake. Lonnie helped me find Purple Roses for Mal which are extremely hard to find we look all over Auradon City just to find Purple Roses. The reason why I wanted to get Mal Purple Roses is because Purple is her favorite color. I just have to get through the day at school before I go on my date with Mal.
Lunch
This day has fly by very fast now it's lunch time which means after lunch I only have two more classes before I'm done for the day. I'm sitting with the same friends that I sit with everyday which is Ben, Evie, Jay, Lonnie, Doug, Jane and Mal. My lunch table has been pretty silent today until Lonnie strike up a conversation to break the silence.
Lonnie: So, Carlos, Evie, Jay and Mal I don't know a whole lot about you guys. I want to get to know you guys better. I am just curious when is everyone birthday?
Jay: My birthday is November 22nd I'll be 17 this year.
Evie: I'll be 17 on December 24th.
Mal: I'll be 17 on January 15th.
Me: I'll be 15 on January 1st.
Ben, Lonnie, Doug and Jane were all shock to hear that I'm only 14 years old. I don't understand why everyone is so surprised to hear that I'm only 14 years old.
Ben: If you're only 14 years old then how come you're in the same grade as me?
I explained to Ben, Lonnie. Doug and Jane about how I was able to skip two grades and go straight to kindergarten at three years old because I was way too "smart" to be in pre-school.
Mal's POV
Today is the day that me and Carlos are going on our first "fake" date as a fake couple. I am a little nervous going on my first date with my best friend who is pretending to be my fake boyfriend because I really like Carlos and he has no idea. My girl best friend Evie is helping me get ready for my "fake" date with Carlos. Evie gave me a magenta dress with spaghetti straps that Evie made for me to wear for my first "fake" date with Carlos. After I put my dress on, I sit on my bed and on a pair of black combat boots and a black leather jacket on. Then Evie sits down next to me on my bed and starts putting some makeup on me. Unlike Evie I don't really care for makeup.
Me: Okay. Easy on the blush I don't want to wear a lot of makeup on my first date.
Evie: Please, my mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk because she wanted me to be the "Fairest in the land". Always use upward strokes.
Me: My mom was never really big on makeup tips and it's not like I had a big sister growing up that would teach me how to do makeup. I never had a sister before Evie you're the closest thing I have to a sister. I'm so glad that I have you in my life I don't know what I would do without you.
Then after Evie was done doing my makeup, I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and then I saw Carlos standing in front of my dorm all dressed up holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands. Carlos is wearing a white polo shirt with a black and white sweater that has Dalmatians spots all over sweater on top of his polo shirt. He is wearing a pair of black jeans with a pair of black boots. He handed me a bouquet of Purple and Red Roses.
Carlos: I got you some flowers that I just wanted to drop off for you before our date tonight. I hope you like them.
Me: Thank you Carlos, they are beautiful. I love them.
I went over and gave Carlos a hug. I don't know why but I just feel safe in his arms. It's like I feel like I'm home whenever we hug.
Carlos: Well I'm glad you like them. I just want to say that I think you look beautiful in that dress.
Me: Aww thank you Carlos.
Carlos: Well I gotta go I'll see you later tonight.
Me: Bye Carlos.
Then Carlos leaves my dorm room to go do something. I notice there was a little note attach to the flowers. I read what the notes says.
Dear Mal,
Meet me at the Enchanted Lake tonight at 7 for our date. ;)
-Carlos Oskar De Vil
Carlos told me to meet him at the Enchanted Lake at 7 pm for our "fake" date. I'm still waiting on Carlos to come meet me at the Enchanted Lake who's still working on setting up our "fake" date. I'm getting really tired of waiting forever for Carlos to come. So, I started singing and dancing around the Enchanted Lake to one of my favorite Disney songs that is from my mother's movie. I have always loved the song Once Upon A Dream ever since I was child. My mother on the other hand hates that song because she hates Sleeping Beauty so much. My mother hates it when I sing that song because it brings up bad memories from her song. I like to sing that song just to get on my mother's nerve which she hates it whenever I start singing that song. I randomly started singing Once Upon A Dream and danced around the patio just like what Aurora did in Sleeping Beauty (1959). When she was dancing around the forest and singing along to one of the most romantic songs from a Disney animated movie. I felt like I was in a Fairy Tale.
Once Upon A Dream by Mary Costa and Bill Shirley from Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Bold = Mal and Carlos
Me: I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet, I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once the way you did once upon a dream
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once-
I extended my arms and felt someone grab my hands. Then I heard a familiar voice singing the rest of the lyrics of the song I was just singing.
Carlos: The way you did once upon a dream
I turned around to see who was singing along with me and I was surprised to see it was Carlos. When I turned around and saw it was Carlos it reminded me of that scene from Sleeping Beauty where Prince Philip started singing along with Princess Aurora to the same exact song I was just singing.
Me: Carlos, you scared me when you sneak up on me and started singing along with me. How did you even know the lyrics to that song that is from the Disney movie that my mother was in?
Carlos: I knew the lyrics to that song because I have heard you sing it before. I am so sorry that I scared you. I didn't mean to frighten you.
Me: Oh, its fine Carlos I know you didn't mean to scared me.
Then Carlos extends his hand out offering me to dance with him.
Carlos: May I have this dance Princess?
Me: Well of course you can.
Then I grab his hand and we started slow dancing. Then Carlos starts singing the rest of the lyrics. Singing and dancing with him felt like I was Princess Aurora and he was my Prince Charming.
Carlos: I know you I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once the way you did once upon a dream
After we were done both singing, we both stand there next to each other side by side. Then I rested my head on his shoulder. Carlos could tell by my facial expressions that I look like I'm feeling down. He just knew something was up.
Carlos: Mal, are you okay?
Me: No, I'm not okay because I got a lot going on. Carlos, I want you to be honest with me do you think I'm a bad person?
Carlos: No, I don't think you're a bad person Mal.
Me: Well I do because people hate me and make it seem like I'm the bad guy. I haven't told anyone yet about how I really feel about being raised to be "evil" like my mother by following in her footsteps. I'm going to be honest I never wanted to be evil I've always wanted to be the hero of my own story, but I don't know how to be good. The truth is my mom manipulate me by making her green eyes glow to make me want to steal the wand. I really don't want to do this, but I have no idea what to do.
Carlos: Then just don't do it. I think you should do what you think is right because your mom has no control over you when you are in Auradon right now and she is still stuck on the Isle.
Me: Yeah you're right Carlos that I should do the right thing. Hey Carlos promise me that you won't tell Evie and Jay about my mother used magic to manipulate me to steal the wand? Please don't tell them because I don't want anyone to know about this.
Carlos: I promised Mal that your secret is safe with me.
Me: Thank you Carlos.
Then me and Carlos sat down on the picnic blanket and had a little picnic near the lake. It was nice hanging out with him alone which is not something that happens often because most of the time we hang out in a group with Evie and Jay. After we were done eating dinner Carlos got closer to me and put his arm around my shoulder. I rested my head on his shoulder.
Carlos: This is nice.
Me: What are you talking about?
Carlos: Just the two of us hanging out alone don't get me wrong I love it when the four of us would hang out all the time back on the Isle. But sometimes I would rather just spend some time with you alone without Evie and Jay being around just to tease us. I just wish I could just spend some more time hanging out with you alone just the two of us without any of our friends around.
Me: I feel the same way Carlos.
We headed back to our dorm rooms at 8 pm our date only lasted an hour before we decided to head back to our dorm rooms. I had a lot of fun spending some alone time with Carlos. I like hanging out with Carlos. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with him if we do get married in the future. Sadly, that will probably never happened because I highly doubt he would ever have feelings for me.
Carlos was holding my hand when we walk back to our dorm rooms. When he dropped me off back to my dorm room he gave me a big hug that lasted a couple of seconds before we broke apart.
Carlos: I had fun tonight goodnight Princess.
Me: Goodnight Carlos.
I went into my dorm room and I saw Evie was sitting there on my bed waiting to hear the details about my date.
Evie: So, how was your date? Did you two kiss?
Me: It was fun and no we didn't kiss, but we did slow dance. When I was waiting for Carlos to show up for our date I started singing Once Upon A Dream and danced around the patio. Then Carlos overheard me singing so, he started singing along and slowed danced around the patio. It was basically like that scene from Disney Sleeping Beauty but in real life. It felt like I was in Fairytale by recreating one of the most romantic moments in a Disney animation movie.
Evie: So, you're telling me that you and Carlos basically recreate one of the most romantic moments from a Disney movie and he didn't even kiss you?
Mal: Yeah, basically.
Evie: I still can't believe that he didn't even kiss you.
Me: Maybe he's just nervous and just waiting for the right moment.
Evie: I am going to have a talk with him and ask your boyfriend why he didn't kissed you on the very first date.
