Mal couldn't help but be nervous as she triple checked her three suitcases and various garment bags filled with ball gowns, suits and more formal dresses. She had no idea why Evie insisted she have this many clothes and most of them had been designed and made by Evie herself. In fact the only clothes she had from her usual wardrobe were a few pairs of skinny jeans, vest tops and leather jackets that Evie had dubbed 'travelling clothes'. That is what she was in right now. A pair of black jeans, a purple top and her black leather jacket.
With a sigh Mal waved her hand at her bags, magically transporting them to Ben at the train station. He had offered to pick her up but the purplette had wanted the morning alone. Turning she took one last look around the dorm room her and Evie had called home for the past two and a half years. They had finished their senior year exams a week ago, meaning Ben, Mal, Malice, Bree, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Audrey, Jane, Lonnie, Doug and Chad among countless others were now Auradon Prep graduates and Ben was now taking on full responsibilities as King of Auradon.
The purple haired teen couldn't help but feel a little saddened that not only would she never shared this room with Evie again, but that she would also never room anywhere with the blue haired princess again. Her best friend had left yesterday for Charmington. She was moving into Snow White's castle as she was crowned as the Princess of Charmington last month after Snow White's daughter said she didn't want to rule the Kingdom after her parents. But Mal would be seeing her soon on their travels. Mal had finally been able to sit down last night and look over where they would be travelling and what events they would be attending. She had never been more thankful that Ben had suggested she take History of Auradon royals and Political Science, then she was when she looked over the various events and things she would be attending during this tour. But one thing was for certain. She would be getting her siblings (Malice, Evie, Jay, Carlos and the others) something from every Kingdom they visited.
With one last look around the now empty dorm room that used to hold everything of hers and Evie's the purple haired teen transported herself to Ben on the train platform. As soon as the purple smoke around her cleared Mal felt a pair of strong arms around her waist, and she didn't even have to turn to know it was Ben. She could smell his fruity aftershave she had bought for him. "Hi beautiful, you okay?" Ben asked his girlfriend.
"I guess." Mal said with a sigh. As she turned in his arms she saw his concerned/confused expression on his face. She quickly explained she was feeling a little down about leaving Auradon Prep for good and never being able to share a room with her pseudo sister again.
Ben completely understood where she was coming from. He knew how much the two teens had leaned on each other since he had invited them to come and while Jay and Carlos had college plans near Auradon so Mal would still see them regularly it wasn't the same as her seeing the blunette everyday. "I get it. But you'll be seeing her in a few weeks, when we get to Charmington." He told the purplette who smiled nervously. Ben could tell she was nervous about meeting all the royals. "If things get to much for you Mal just let me know and we can sort something out. You can even come back home if you would like." He told her.
Smiling Mal leant up and kissed Ben. "Thank you." She said, knowing he would keep tp his word if Mal became truly overwhelmed. "Where's our bags?" The purplette asked, not seeing any bags on the platform at all.
"They're on the train. We have the cabin to ourselves." He told his girlfriend. "Well except for these two body guards who will be shadowing us and making sure nothing happens." Ben explained. Mal immediately nodded knowing they would stop anything happening to Ben, but she was hoping they wouldn't be needed. She didn't know of anyone who would want to hurt Ben but she also knew that some people would have issues since he is the one who keeps bringing children from the Isle over, and there are still people who don't like that.
With a nod to the two guards near the door to the train, Mal followed Ben on board. When Ben sat at one of the larger tables in the centre of the cabin, which had Ben and Mal's laptop cases on them, Mal immediately sat next to him, placing her head on her boyfriends shoulder as she got comfortable. Since she had done nothing but worry about their trip all week she had barely slept, something Ben picked up on as her eyes kept drooping.
Smiling Ben turned his head and placed a gentle kiss to the top of Mal's head. "Why don't you get some sleep while I look over some emails." Ben suggested, causing Mal to nod tiredly.
"Where are we going first?" Mal asked, her sleep deprived brain simply not wanting to work and remember where they were actually heading.
Ben's smile got a little bigger as he heard how tired she truly was. "Arendelle." He stated. Mal nodded once more but before he could say anything else the purplette was fast asleep. The eighteen year old King placed another kiss on top of Mal's purple locks. "Sleep tight, Mal." He whispered, knowing that due to her fairy hearing if he spoke normally them she would wake up and likely not get back to sleep. After one last glance at the peaceful expression on Mal's face, Ben powered up his laptop hoping that things would go well during this trip. Sure most of the royals accepted her in Auradon now but they had yet to fully accept her as his girlfriend and Queen he was hoping she would become in the future.
