Four days after Mal's date with Ben and she was still on cloud nine. She'd had a permanent smile on her face and Evie couldn't help but feel happy for her pseudo sister. As they woke on Wednesday morning to get ready for school they were both feeling very happy. Mal had a study date with Ben and Evie was meeting up with Doug to help her catch up in English, while she excelled in chemistry and fashion she wasn't as great in English. She had asked Mal but the purplette had already agreed to study with Ben. Mal could see the relationship forming between Evie and Doug but had chosen not to say anything yet. The blunette was still in her mindset of needing to marry a prince and would simply dismiss the idea at the moment. Things had to happen between them at their own pace.
Mal grabbed her clothes before she headed into her en-suite to shower quickly and change out of her pyjamas. It only took her fifteen minutes since she used magic to dry her hair. What confused her was that when she went back into the dorm room she shared with Bree, Evie was sat on the purplette's bed staring at a piece of paper in her hands. "E?" Mal gently called to the blunette. "What's wrong?"
"I found this on the floor next to the door." Evie stated, handing the piece of paper to Mal so she could read it.
Mal & Evie,
Please could you meet with me in the courtyard at 9:30am this morning? I have something I need to show you both. I have spoken to Fairy Godmother and excused you both from lessons today so there's no need to worry about that.
See you soon,
Ben.
"What do you think it's about?" Evie asked her pseudo sister. Mal could see the blunette was starting to panic. "They're not sending us back to the Isle are they? Do they know what we had planned when we first came here?" Her voice kept rising as she spoke and the purplette could hear the nerves and scared tone in her voice.
Mal sat next to her best friend and leant into her side reassuringly. "It'll be fine E. I'm sure it's something really simple and we're taking it out of proportion." She stated. Sure she was worried about this herself but she wasn't about to let Evie know that, the blunette was worried enough and Mal knew she had to be strong for her sister.
After getting ready the two teens had a quick breakfast and watched as their pseudo brothers went off to lessons before heading outside to meet with Ben. The girls nerves had eased upon hearing that Jay and Carlos weren't meeting with Ben but they were still worried about what the meeting was about. They hadn't done anything wrong lately, hell they hadn't even been wicked or mischievious, so they only became more confused as 9:30AM drew nearer.
As they reached the courtyard they headed to the spot where the limo had dropped them off when they first arrived but they couldn't see Ben. Mal knew her boyfriend had spent the night at his castle so wasn't surprised when a limo came towards them. She felt Evie grasp her hand as the limo stopped and Ben slowly climbed out. He left the door open behind him but neither teen commented on this, they were far too worried about what Ben was going to say to them.
Smiling Ben kissed Mal's cheek before looking between them but before he could talk Mal beat him to it. "What's this about Ben?" She asked.
Ben opened his mouth to speak but surprising the trio they heard "Mally!?" exclaimed from the limo. Mal and Evie shared a surprised look before turning towards the car in time to find Mav climbing out of the open door. Mal couldn't help but gasp as she saw her seven year old, purple haired brother running towards her. "Mally!" He exclaimed excitedly. She had just enough time to crouch down and open her arms before he threw himself into her arms.
"Hi Mav." She responded as she held him tightly. Mal looked up at a stunned looking Evie and a smiling Ben. "Ben, what's going on?" She asked her boyfriend.
His smile grew as he responded with "Just watch the limo."
Both teens turned towards the car once more and gasped as Malice stepped out with Malia and Evan in his arms. Evie rushed forward and gently took her baby brother from the struggling teen, smiling a silent hello at Malice before moving back to Mal. Carefully she hugged Mav while Mal rushed towards her twin, hugging both him and Malia tightly. As the ten month old blonde noticed her big sister she immediately reached for her and smiling Mal carefully took her and balanced her on her hip with her arm. Ben couldn't help but smile as he watched the touching reunion Mal and Evie were having with their siblings.
Malice smiled and hugged Mal again before the purplette led him over to Evie, Evan, Mav and Ben. With the hand that Malia wasn't sat on, which happened to be the hand that had Ben's signet ring on, she took Ben's hand. Malice noticed this immediately and raised an eye brow at the pair. Ben quickly noticed this and extended his hand towards the blonde/purple haired teen. "I think I should introduce myself properly." Ben stated. "I'm Ben, Mal's boyfriend."
The two male teens shook hands and Malice couldn't help but smile as he noticed the look of love Mal was giving the brunette. "As long as you don't hurt my little sister, I am happy for you." He stated and Mal sent them a happy smile, as did Evie. The blunette was happy for her pseudo sister.
"I have no intention of hurting her. I promise." Ben responded and the two nodded to each other before Malice took Mav's hand in his own. "So maybe we should show you guys around and you can see where your staying." Ben said and Malice nodded but Mal and Evie turned to face Ben, confused.
It was Evie who spoke first. "Ben? What about the little ones? They aren't old enough to stay here." She asked and Ben immediately stopped walking.
"Well..." Ben said turning to face the worried girls. He had no idea how they would take this. "Snow White has asked for Evan to be brought over and for her to become yours and Evans guardian, Evie." He told the blunette. "So either Evan can stay with you during the week and you can both go to Snow's at the weekend or Evan can stay there all week and you can decide when you go and stay. The choice is yours." He explained and he watched as Evie looked down at her little brother lovingly.
Evie looked up to the teen prince after a few minutes. "You mean Snow is okay with whatever I decide?" The blunette asked.
"Of course." Ben stated. "She wants you to be confortable with whatever happens, so she's leaving the choice up to you. Take your time deciding there's no rush." He said and Evie smiled at him. She would have a good think about what's best for both her and Evan. It was then Ben turned to his girlfriend and her siblings. "You guys are a bit different." He said. "From what Mal said Malia is really attached to her and Maverick is attached to you Malice." He explained, causing the twins to nod. "So I have spoken to Fairy Godmother and you can keep them with you. Maverick will attend Auradon Elementary while you both are at Auradon Prep although we will have to look into something for Malia. It could be she attends preschool but we can talk about that later." He explained to them. The three Isle teens were beyond happy to all be together again and they followed Ben back into Auradon Prep to show Malice and Maverick around so they don't get lost.
