THIS IS A DESCENDANTS ONESHOT THAT WAS REQUESTED BY andiie12 HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
Today is Mal and Ben's one year anniversary, one year since the VK's had been brought over to Auradon and one year since Mal and Ben had started being Auradon's power couple. For their one year anniversary, Ben brought and sent 100 roses to Mal and Evie's dorm, each rose had a note attached to it that read 100 reasons why he loved Mal. This brought tears to Mal's eyes but she refused to let them fall while Evie, on the other hand, cried for a solid 10 minutes over the gesture. Ben had also arranged a date down by the enchanted lake with a huge picnic. After seeing the roses and hearing about the date, Mal decided that she wanted to do something special for Ben. However, she didn't have any ideas.
Mal was sat in her dorm searching for ideas while Evie was in the bathroom reapplying her makeup for the third time today. "E, I need your help, I don't know what to get Ben for our anniversary" Mal shouted through the bathroom door. Evie walked out with a fresh coat of makeup on "Well instead of getting him something, why don't you show him something?" Evie replied as she put away her Makeup bag. Mal grunted "How do I do that?" her face was now shoved into her bed pillow in frustration. "Look at the roses and if you see something you like, expand on the reason and give him another excuse to love you more" Evie was now picking up her designer school bag and headed out the door to breakfast after she rubbed Mal's back for comfort. Mal rose her head from her pillow and looked at the rose pile. She walked over to the table by Evie's sewing machine and picked up a random rose.
#78 - you give strength when I'm at my weakest
Mal smile at that, but she could think of an idea from the rose so she placed it back in the vase and chose another one.
#12 – you brought light into my life while others brought me darkness
Tears formed in Mal's eyes but she refused to cry because Evie wasn't around to fix her makeup. She placed it back into the water and took an another one.
#06 – you're patient with me while I talk about my past and that makes me patient when you say that one day you will tell me yours.
This was the one, Mal would show Ben her past. She knew it hurt Ben when she refused to talk about it and he knows it makes her awkward while talking about his. She knew that her mother had a spell in her spellbook but she never tried it. Mal placed the rose back in the vase and walked over to the nightstand and pulled out the spell book. Mal flipped through several pages till she found the spell. Turn back time to settle a score and show all those present my unsettling past. Start at the beginning and end at the last.Mal grabbed a small piece of paper and wrote the spell down. She placed the small paper in her pocket and grabbed her bag to join her friends for the last five minutes of breakfast. Mal grabbed a small blueberry muffin and made her way to her friends. Jay and Carlos waved her down as she was walking over. Ben turned his head to see Mal walking towards them. "Hey, Princess" Mal shot him a playful glare before kissing his cheek. This caused an uproar of laughter at her table. The bell rang and everyone made their way to their separate classes. Evie went to chemistry with Doug. Jay and Ben had PE while Carlos had a veterinary course to attend. Lonnie and Jane went to Physics while Mal went to art. The first two lessons of the day went slow for Mal, she couldn't wait to show Ben her past, but if she really wanted it to work she would have to get permission from Fairy Godmother to use her wand. Mal kept her wand stored with Jane's and Fairy Godmothers in her office and if you wanted to use it, you had to ask. Ten minutes before the second period ended, Mal told her teacher that she had a meeting with Fairy Godmother. After being excused from lessons, Mal placed her excess books in her locker and ran her office.
Mal only knocked once on the door before it flew open to reveal an overly chirpy woman in her mid-forties. "Mal dear, come in please" Mal walked through the door into the overly bright office and sat on the solid blue wooden chair. "What can I do for you Mal?" she asked, her voice was one squeak away from bursting Mal's eardrums. "Well today is mine and King Ben's one year anniversary and I wanted to do something special. He is always upset when I refuse to talk to him about my past so I decided that today I would open up. I found a spell but I want it to be perfect so I was wondering if I could use my wand" Fairy godmother's face didn't change from her chirpy expression but you could tell that she was deep in thought. She stood up and walked over to the safe that held the wands. Carefully she took out Mal's purple, green and blue wand covered in ribbon and gently handed it to Mal. "Thank you, I promise that I will have it back to you by the end of Lunch period" "Be careful Mal" Fairy Godmother warned before Mal left her office with her wand in her bag.
Next lesson was Mal and Ben's free period and after that, it was lunch so Mal and Ben now had two hours free from school. Mal went to her and Ben's meeting point outside the school by the changing statue of Ben's father. Mal didn't have to wait long before she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. "Hey, Bennyboo" Mal whisper in Ben's Ear as he came down to kiss her cheek. "Hey princess, are you ready for lunch?" Mal nodded in excitement as Ben took her hand led her to his scooter.
10 minutes later and a bumpy trip, they arrived at the enchanted lake where Ben had set out his picnic. There were strawberries, Burgers, Sandwiches, Cupcakes, and more. Ben took Mal's small hand in his and guided her down by the lake. Mal picked up one strawberry and placed it in her mouth and swallowed before admitting her gift. "So, Ben, first I want to say thank you for all 100 roses, they were the best" She placed a small kiss on his cheek before she continued "I have a gift for you and it's one that only you will see and have. No one has had this type of thing from me before so you have to understand how special and important you are to me" Ben's eyes widened and lit up when he heard this, it struck a chord in his heart. "Would you like it now or later?" Mal asked, unsure of whether Ben was still listening to her. "Now, please" Ben replied, his heart beating out of his chest.
Ben Watched as Mal pulled her wand out of her rucksack and a small piece of paper out of her pocket. Ben stood up to get ready to anticipate anything that could happen. Mal turned to Ben with the little golden flecks back in her eyes and held a hand out to Ben which he wilfully took. Mal held her wand in the air and recited her mother's spell. Turn back time to settle a score and show all those present my unsettling past. Start at the beginning and end at the last. A thick purple smoke engulfed them before declining away for Ben and Mal to find themselves outside of the school and back to the day that they first arrived at Auradon Prep. Ben and Mal watched as their past selves greeted each other and shook hands while not breaking their gaze. Present Ben stared at Past Mal as she interacted with Ben and Audrey and walked through the school. "I'm going to skip forward because that's the bit that matters" Present Mal said to Ben who nodded in response.
With a flick of her wand, you could now see the Past Evie and Mal sitting in their new dorm for the first time. "E, can I tell you something?" Past Mal asked. "Sure Mal what's up?" Evie responded without breaking her gaze from the window. "That Prince Ben, did he seem off to you?" Evie whipped her head round to Mal in confusion to her question "No Mal, I'm sure all princes seem off, but mother always told me to put that behind me if I wanted to Marry rich" Evie replied while dreaming about her future life. "No E, I mean did you feel a connection when you greeted him? Like a connection which gave you a warm feeling and a connection when he gave off his smile?" Mal asked clearly obsessed with Ben. "Someone is in LOVE" Evie Sang. Mal growled at Evie "No Evie I'm Evil, I'm rotten and I will make my mother proud, I don't need love"
The thick purple smoke Engulfed them again before the Present Mal and Ben found themselves at another time period. This time it was after their call home from their parents, Mal and Evie talking in the library. "Evie, I don't want this anymore" Evie turned her head in confusion "I don't want to keep leading Ben along with this love potion, I think I actually have feelings for him E, but his are fake and if we take over Auradon, I don't want him trailing me like a lost puppy" Present Ben could see tears forming in the Past Mal's eyes as Evie comforted her. Again, the thick Purple smoke engulfed them and this time Ben and Mal were back in their own time. Mal stepped back from Ben with small tears running down her cheeks "I know I don't say it often how much I love you or when I first started loving you but the truth is I always have and I always will" Mal broke down and Ben rushed to her side and wrapped his arms around her. He had tears in his eyes now, he always knew that he loved Mal since he landed eyes on her but he never knew that it was the same for her. "thank you so much Mal, I love you to the moon and back." Ben whispered in her ear. "I love you too Ben" Mal replied. They sat down at their picnic and sat in the most comfortable silence while holding each other.
