Hey Guys, and Welcome back to Chapter 2 of WILTW. I wanted to say a massive thank you for the response I got on the last chapter, it honestly meant the world to me when you guys left a review, and followed the story.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, although it is a little shorter than usual. The end of this chapter follows the main story line slightly and since we all know how it goes, I kinda rushed through it, but you'll see what I mean when you read it. Anyway, again, I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you at the end!

Ben's POV:"It's not one of the girls" I whispered, so quietly that even I could barely hear it. She knew I had said something, but she didn't hear what. "What was that Ben?" she asked, taking my hand in her own, and comforting me.

"I don't think it's one of the girls" I whispered slightly louder, and this time she heard. She went quiet, and I proceeded to talk. "I think I might be gay" I said, looking up at her. "But I don't know for sure. It's just all happening so fast, and it might just be a onetime thing, and nothing to worry about, but I just don't know…" I started to ramble, but she quickly stopped me when she pulled me into a hug, "Ben, I'm so proud of you for admitting it" she said, as tears started to stream down my face.

"I can't imagine how confusing this whole thing is. But one thing is for sure. You need to break up with Audrey" she continued, and I looked into her eyes. "Whether you're gay, bi or whatever, it's clear that you're not happy with her. When you are around her, you look so miserable, and it's clear she annoys you" she finally finished.

"But what about my parents. How will they react to the whole thing?" I replied, panic racing through my mind. "I was always told that a king needed an heir. What if I can't have an heir?" I finished, and Lonnie shook her head once again.

"Ben, you're parents are going to love you no matter what. God Ben, your mum fell in love with a beast. They will understand, don't worry about it." She responded. I just nodded, she was right, I needed to end it with Audrey.

"You're right. I'll do it at lunch. I'll take her to one side, and finish it" I said to her, and we both agreed. I made sure to clean myself up, removing any stray tears from my face, and brushing the dust off of my suit, and we made our way back to the school, to hear the lunch bell go off. 'Show time' I thought to myself.

I made my way into the school, and grabbed the VK's from their room. "What was that sound?" Mal asked, and it was obvious it startled her.

"That was the school bell. I signals when lessons begin and end. That specific bell signals that lunch as started" I said, walking into the cafeteria. "Ok, just follow me. The basic premise is that you join the queue, and pick what food you want, using the tongs. Don't worry about how much you have, the lunch staff prepare at least 10 lots of the stuff, so we always have enough food" I said, stacking up on cookies.

"What are those?" I heard Carlos ask, pointing to the stack of cookies on my tray.

"What? You've never heard of cookies before?" I asked, causing them to shake their heads. "My god, you have to try them. I absolutely love cookies, they are great. I can't really describe them, but I think you'll like them" I said, placing a few onto their trays. We finished stockpiling some food, and headed over to an empty table.

"So, what do you think of Auradon so far?" I asked them, hoping they were having a good experience.

Jay was first to speak up. "Everything's so bright, almost too bright" he said, whilst biting into a sandwich, and then staring at it when he did so. Evie was next to respond. "It's colourful. Every colour is everywhere. Back on the Isle, it was a series of blacks, greys and more greys" she finished, with a happy sigh at the end. It was clear she was loving it. Mal later finished. "Not to mention the lack of evil" she groaned, biting into her food.

Carlos hadn't said anything, so I decided to question him on it. To be fair, his opinion was the only one I actually cared about. "Carlos, what do you think?" I asked, and I could see him blush deeply. "The TV's pretty cool, and it's better than the Isle for sure" he said, a smile growing on his face. However, I noticed he had chocolate around his face again."Here, let me get that" I said, grabbing yet another napkin, and wiping his mouth free of chocolate. Again, we got lost in each other's eyes, but I was snapped out of it, when I heard Lonnie's voice.

"Hey Ben, mind if I join you" she said, smirking as I quickly removed my hand from his face.

"Sure. Guys, this is Lonnie, Mulan's Daughter" I introduced her, and everyone got a puzzled look on their face.

"You know, Mulan? Defeater of Shan Yu?" she said, and the VK's shared an "ahh" as they realised who she was.

Lonnie sat right next to me, and nudged me in the arm as she did so. I looked at her, and she was just smiling, so I got the message she was trying to send. We sat and chatted for about 10 minutes, before I saw Audrey leaving the hall. I planned to break up with her now, as I wanted her to enjoy lunch at least.

"If you'll excuse me for a second" I said, getting up from my seat. I heard Lonnie say "Stay Strong" as I ran over to Audrey. I reached her, and she said "Benny-boo, I've been looking all over for you! Why didn't you sit with me?" in that annoying tone. It was clear that she was angry, but she was putting on a friendly face.

"Audrey, can we go someplace private, we need to talk" I asked, rather confidently I might add. That confidence quickly faded with her response.

"Oh, Benny-bear whatever you have to say, you can say right here" she said, chuckling at the end. "No, I really think we should go someplace else." I insisted politely, but she snapped at me. "No, whatever it is, you can tell me here!" she exclaimed, and I knew she wouldn't give in.

"Fine, Audrey I'm breaking up with you" I said, trying to maintain my composure. "Oh, Benny-boo, you're such a terrible joker" she said, laughing to herself, and this angered me even more. "No, I'm being serious. I'm breaking up with you" I said again, and by this point, the whole café was silent, some people even recording. "What, why would you break up with me?" she asked, trying to sound all innocent.

"For one, when the Villain kids arrived, you did nothing but belittle them. You shot down Evie right away, and then started to argue with Mal, because we shared a chuckle. Secondly, You only ever talk about yourself, and it's annoying" I said, and I could see she was infuriated. "And I mean, really annoying" I added onto the end, just to make sure she knew.

I turned around, but before I could get very far, she grabbed my wrist, trying to stop me. I yanked it out of her grasp, and continued to walk away from her, back towards the Villain kids. "BENJAMIN ADAMS, DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed, but I didn't even turn to look at her.

A small smile grew on my face as I walked away and Lonnie smiled at me as I did so, and so did Carlos. He looked like this was the happiest he had even been, and this just made be melt inside. 'He looks so adorable' I thought to myself, as I sat back opposite him. "I'm proud of you Ben" I heard Lonnie say, and Mal was quick to question it.

"Yeah, what was all that about? Why'd you end it? I mean, I know she is extremely irritating, and thinks she is the best at everything, but other than that, why?" She said. It wasn't really a question, but more a way for her to get her opinion across.

I decided to answer it anyway. "Something didn't feel right with her. I wasn't being my true self, and I didn't love her" I said, looking at Carlos whilst I did so. Lonnie nudged me under the table, so no one else noticed, but I knew what she meant.

I decided to quickly change the subject. "Well, that's enough about me. Why don't you tell us something about yourselves" I asked, and I saw all VK's tense up instantly. They all looked at each other, with a rather nervous look, and I quickly gathered that it was a touchy subject. "If you don't want to its fine. I just wanted to get to know you better" I said, chuckling to myself rather awkwardly. "Ok, what do you think of your timetables?" I asked, trying to avoid an awkward silence. They all seemed to perk up at this question.

Carlos was first. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, although I don't know what some of the lessons are" he confessed. I saw an opportunity, and decided to take it. "Well, I could spent some time with you later, and help clarify anything if you want" I asked, and I saw his face light up. "Yeah, I'd lo…" he began, but Mal was quick to interrupt. "Sorry Ben, but we're busy tonight. Perhaps another time" she said, glaring at Carlos, and all the enjoyment on this face was removed. Before I could say anything, the bell went again, and the VK's quickly scuttled off somewhere.

I just sighed, forgetting that Lonnie was sat next to me. "So Carlos hey?" she said, and I jumped, startled by her voice.

"What? I don't know what you mean" I stuttered, obviously blushing at this point.

"Come on Ben, I saw how you look at him. God, you were lost in his eyes when you were wiping chocolate off his face" she joked, and I blushed even deeper. "And you don't need to worry, he's clearly into you too" she said, standing up from the table.

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked, chasing after her.

"I'm just saying, he was lost in your eyes as well, his face light up when you offered to spend time with him and you should have seen the smile on his face when you broke up with Audrey. It was like from ear to ear. You have nothing to worry about" she finished, as we made our way outside. I had tourney practise, and I think Lonnie wanted to watch. It was clear she wanted to play as well, but for some reason the school wouldn't let her.

Carlos POV:
"Mal, what the hell?" I asked, as she dragged me back to the dorm rooms. "We're not doing anything tonight!" I exclaimed, and she turned to me.

"We are only here to get the wand, not make 'friends'. Tonight, we going to try and get it" she snapped back with a large amount of anger in her voice, but I had a retort.

"Well, maybe I planned to ask Ben about the wand tonight" I snapped at her, equalling her anger. We had reached the dorms by this point, so I just slammed the door in her face. I could hear Jay scoff at what I had to say, so I decided to question him on it. "What? I could have asked him!" I said, walking over to my bed.

"Yeah, is that before or after you kiss?" he laughed, puckering his lips as a joke causing me to blush and panic.

"What, what do you mean" I asked, stuttering. "Dude, it's clear that you like him." He replied, rather casually. "But, I'm not gay" I responded, still blushing, and starting to get a little upset.

"Ok, so you're not gay. I'll just forget the times you stared at me shirtless, or the times you tried to see me naked." He replied, but it wasn't an angry voice, more of a comforting voice. "Dude, I'm not trying to mean, and I found it flattering. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone. I understood why you hid it on the Isle." he said, and it comforted me.

"Thanks Jay, at least I can be honest with you" I said, face planting onto my bed.

We passed the hours watching some TV, and I started to play some video game. By the time Mal and Evie entered, I was on level 3. Mal started making some annoying point, about Jay stealing a load of stuff, but I wasn't really bothered about it. I was too focused on my game. "Carlos" I heard her shout, but decided to ignore it. That was probably a bad plan. She grabbed my ear, and yanked me away from the game.

"Don't you remember what we are here for!" she exclaimed, and Jay was quick to respond. "Yeah, magic wand, blah blah blah" he said, causing Evie and I to chuckle. Mal was less than impressed. "Guys, this is the one chance to prove ourselves…" she said, but I zoned out. I didn't want to prove myself, and I certainly didn't want the villains to rule over Auradon. The Isle was bad enough as it is, but to have that here in Auradon too, yeah no thanks.

Anyway, the rest went quiet, and Mal asked Evie for the magic mirror. Evie chanted something into it, and it showed the wand in return. But only the wand. I knew I needed to play along at this point. I didn't want to lose the only friends I had. Plus, I would need to convince everyone not to go through with it, and I couldn't do that if they hated me.

"Zoom out" I said, and the mirror did so, showing us the entire planet. Evie started to repeat the word "Closer" and it became rather annoying very quickly. "Can't I go back to my game, I'm on level 3?" I asked, but before I could leave, Mal grabbed my wrist. "There, the Museum of Cultural History" she said, and I quickly googled it. "Where is that" she asked, and this time, I had a response.

"2.3 miles from here" I said, showing them the laptop screen. "Let's go" Mal said, but I was hesitant. "Are we sure this is the best idea? I mean, there probably security cameras and a guard" I stated, but the just looked at me. "Fine, let's go" I said, walking out the room, and sneaking down the corridor.

We reached the museum about 15 minutes later, and boy was I tired. I mean, I wasn't unfit but that was one long run, and we ran all of it. Anyway, we peaked through the doors, and saw a guard sat at the desk. "Told you so" I mumbled, and everyone else didn't seem impressed. And by that, I mean Jay slapped me on the arm rather hard. "Ouch!" I exclaimed, causing him to chuckle.

He was quick to speak up. "Is that your mother's spinning wheel?" he asked, pointing to it in the middle of the room.

"Yeah, it's kinda dorky" I chuckled along with him, and Mal got defensive. "It's magic, it doesn't need to look cool" she said, before reciting a few spells. On the second attempt, she managed to spell the guard, and he pricked his finger on the spindle, causing him to fall asleep. She opened the door for us, and we started to look for the wand.

We approached a room with statues of our parents in, and everyone shuddered at the sight. "Mummy?" Evie said, followed my Jay saying "Killer." I stared at the statue of the mother, fright filling my whole body. "I will never forget mother's day again" was all I said, still shivering at her statue. "Well, the wands not in here. Let's bounce. Let's go" Jay said, and I was quick to follow him out of the room. Mal disappeared for about 3 minutes which gave us time to find it.

"Guys, it's here!" I exclaimed pointing at it from above. When we reached it, Jay was stupid enough to try and straight up grab it. He was blown away by a force field, and siren. "I told you, I told you sooo bad!" I exclaimed, as he pulled himself from the floor.

"A force field and a siren. That's a little excessive" Evie said, and I chuckled to myself. "Well, it is one of the most powerful artefacts in Auradon" I replied, causing them all to glare at me. "Not helpful Carlos" Mal snapped, as she began to lead the way out of the museum. We managed to evade the guard, but before we left, I could hear the phone was ringing. I decided to answer it, only to find that it was the security company. With a little small talk, I was able to turn the siren off.

"Carlos!" I heard Mal shout as soon as the alarm went off. "You're welcome" I responded, walking towards the group. "Great Jay, now we have to go to school tomorrow" Mal snapped, as we made our way back.

We each got back to the dorms, and went to sleep for the night.

Ok, so a lot happened in this chapter! Ben told Lonnie how he was feeling, and broke it off with Audrey! Once again, thank you guys so much! I really means a lot to hear back from you guys, and know that you are enjoying the stuff I write. I know it's kinda cheesy, but it honestly gives me the energy to write.

Anyway, Review Time-

Sexly Sango- Thank you, and I hope I dont disappoint you in the future! It might get to a point where I start to update this story on a more regular basis, as I want to get this out to you guys, but no promises ;)

Thunderstorms.03- I'm honoured! But I agree, no one writes Benlos anymore which is why I started to write it, I couldn't be bothered to wait for other people. You'll be relieved to hear that I have two more Benlos stories that I'm working on at the moment. One of them is a sequel to NTC, and the other is another independent story like this one. Finger's crossed, I'll post those when I finish posting NTC and this.

Guest: This comment intrigued me massively, and it was something I'd never thought or heard about before. If you could leave another review clarifying this for me, but from what I understood, you're saying that I should switch some of the main characters genders. I'd be more than happy to give it a go!
