This one is for Elie201, thanks for the great idea! I know it isn't exactly what you asked for but this is what I imagined when I read your comment. Hope you like it!

Ben

"Mal! Wait!" Exclaimed Ben loudly in hopes of getting his purple haired fairy to hear him. Sadly for the young king tough, his girlfriend disappeared quickly into the crowd.

It had been a few days since cottilion when Uma turned into a giant half octopus and Mal into a huge dragon. Ben took a step towards where his Lady vanished from. An excited journalist (how did he get in the school grounds?) pulled him aside and started firing questions about the cottilion.

Ben politely told the guy he couldn't talk and started looking for Mal. The few short seconds he spent talking to the journalist was all it took for her to leave. Dissapointed once more, he sighed and headed to his next class, which was History of Magic in Auradon.

Not typically one to daydream in class, the young beastie boy couldn't help but wonder why Mal avoided him.

Mal

Mal spotted her boyfriend walking her way and brusquely changed direction. She could hear him call her name behind her but she promised herself not to stop. The former isle kid shivered at the thought of even being near Ben. She could've done it at cotillion and if she did, she'd never forgive herself.

She glanced at her watch. A twenty minute detour to class wouldn't hurt right? Malificent's daughter knew she would probably get in trouble with fairy godmother but she didn't care.

Mal sighed and walked faster. It's not that she wanted to avoid the king like the plague. It's just that she, yes, she, Mal Bertha of the isle, was afraid.

The memories rolled into her mind and played back, jumping a little sometimes like a record. But the main idea was there.

Uma.

Uma was there and she spelled Ben.

She turned into an cecadelia.

I turned into a dragon.

We fought.

Ben roared; I swear I thought he would become a beast but he didn't. He just had the roar.

He jumped into the water to stop the fighting between Uma and me.

Somehow, I don't know how, he managed to talk Ursula's spawn out of it.

I went back on deck and transformed back, my hair curled up in a new style and my dress just like in the stain glass he made for me.

And then we danced. Danced and splashed around in the water like nothing happened.

She hadn't given her transformation much thought at the time but now, it was all she worried about. A rather unpleasant dream drilled the idea into her head and she was now paranoid. What if taking her dragon form like her mother also caused her to become well, like her mother? If it made her truly evil and ready to do anything for power, even hurt the one she loved most.

Ben

Ben had enough of his girlfriend ignoring him all the time. He was worried about her and he simply needed to know what was going on. That's when the hazel-green eyed king made decided the best way to find out was to talk to the rest of the former VKs.

He knew the isle kids all were extremely close. The young royal assumed whatever was getting Mal all stressed out, she would have told them.

But actually getting the information was a little harder than expected. First, he tried asking Carlos during tourney practice. He was drinking water by himself and Jay was playing on the field.

Cruella's son looked at him in a friendly manner until Ben asked about Mal. The younger boy's features turned sad and he called Jay over. Jafar's son ran over and after being explained the situation by Carlos through a series of pointed looks, he turned to the young Beast.

His eyes were filled with sadness but his fists were clenched as he ordered Ben not to ask Carlos or Evie again. The former thief then ran off, dragging Carlos behind him. That only made Ben's worry for his beautiful girl grow.

The poor guy didn't know what to do. He couldn't ask Mal, obviously. He couldn't talk to either the blue haired princess or the white haired tech genius because of their long haired protector. With his violent/sad reaction, Ben doubted Jay would be willing to answer his questions.

He pondered about the problem all day and all night. The same repetitive thoughts running through his mind over and over again. The teenager was surprised when someone knocked on his door.

"Jay?"

The king was surprised.

"I need to tell you something" replied the kleptomaniac, hands twisting his old red beanie.

Ben invited him into his room and the two sat on his bed.

"Mal made us promise not to tell," started Jay hesitantly. He valued trust and friendship in their group the most. The black haired boy took a deep breath. He was doing this to help his 'sister'.

"But I can't watch her hurt any more," continued to explain Jay. Ben listened, his heart beating fast. Mal was hurt? In what way? By who?

Jay finally confessed: "She's scared she's gonna hurt you."

Ben's eyes widen in shock at the revelation and he asks, more to himself than to the other boy in the room: "When did she ever hurt me? Never!"

He wanted to talk to her immediately but Jay pulled him back.

"Ben, she's really freaked out about hurting you. You need to play this right." The AK thought about the VK's words. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Jay did have a fair point.

The next night...

Mal

Mal walked back to her room with Evie. She felt guilty about avoiding her boyfriend yet, at the same time, she was too scared to be around him. Her heart beat fast, and she jumps at the slightest contact of skin. All she could think of was: "What if I hurt him?"

When she arrived to her room and noticed the boy she tried so hard to avoid sitting at the desk, she groaned in annoyance. The purple haired teenager thought she had managed to lose him for the day! Evie quietly excused herself and slipped out the door.

Unbeknownst to Mal, Evie and the boys were high fiving in the hallway. The pieces of Ben's plan were all falling into place nicely.

"Ben!" Half screamed Mal. "What are you doing in my room?"

Ben quickly stood up and grabbed Mal's hand. He pulled her towards him and explained softly: "Look, I know you've been having nightmares. But trust me, Mal. I know the real you and she could never hurt me."

Mal was taken aback by his nice comment. She argued, trying to show him she was too dangerous for him.

"But what about the time I made you dinner with magic? Consuming too much magically manipulated foods could kill a guy like you."

"But it didn't, did it? You were just trying to be nice and you said it yourself: accidentally." Replied Ben.

They continued debating like that for a few more minutes until Mal mentioned the real subject of her nightmares.

"And the time I turned into a dragon? I could've hurt you with my wings, my claws, my fire breath, must I go on?"

Ben pulled his panicking girlfriend onto his lap and gave her a small smile.

The young Lady of the Court offered a small smile and leaned back into Belle and Adam's son. Auradon's newest ruler smiled back brightly like he had just received the best present ever. He dug a box out of his pocket and opened it for his beloved.

It revealed a golden ring. It had a beautiful dragon-shaped green gem on the top with its tail curling around the rest of the ring. On the outside of the precious object were engraved the words 'my beautiful dragon protector'.

Mal gasped in shock at the sight of the amazing gift. She tilted her head backwards and kissed Ben's chin. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead. He

"That's what you are to me Mal." He whispered softly. "My little dragon."
