Some parts of this will be similar to the movie but most will be completely my own x
Mal, Malice, Mav and Malia ended up being late to Family Day along with Evie, Evan, Jay and Carlos. As they made their way down to the courtyard they all seemed to go their seperate ways. Evie went to go and see Doug and Snow White, Jay went to go talk to some Tourney buddies and Carlos and Pepper went over to Anita and Roger while Mal led her siblings over to Aurora. Stopping a few steps away from Aurora Mal curtsied, best she could since she was holding Malia, causing Malice to bow and Mav to copy his big brothers actions. "Princess Aurora." Mal greeted the royal, who simply smiled at the group.
"There's no need for any of that today." Aurora told the teens as they stood back up. "You must be Malice, it's nice to meet you." The blonde princess said, shaking the teens hand. Malice nodded a 'hello' back but Aurora turned her attention to Mav. "Hi there. Who are you?" She asked.
A shy smile spread across his face as he looked up at the blonde. "Mav." He told her.
Aurora couldn't help but smile at how cute he was being. "Hi Mav, I'm Aurora. How old are you?" She asked. Mav didn't respond verbally, he simply held up seven fingers. "Wow! Seven!" She exclaimed enthusiastically. "You're so grown up." She told him. As his smile grew a little Aurora stood and turned to face the two teens. "And that makes this Malia." She said gesturing to the sleeping toddler in Mal's arms.
Smiling, Mal nodded to the Aurora. After that the conversation turned to more neutral topics, such as hobbies, likes, dislikes and such but before long Mal grew restless and simply wanted to see Ben. Almost as if he could hear her thoughts she heard a loud "Mal!" being shouted across the courtyard. Turning she found a smiling Ben walking her way and her face simply lit up with happiness. "Mal." He repeated when he was closer and reached for her hand. "Can I borrow you for a while? I wanna introduce you to my parents."
Before Mal could answer Aurora responded with "Of corse. Borrow away." Mal carefully handed Malia to Malice before allowing her boyfriend to lead her towards the King and Queen of Auradon. She immediately curtsied as they stopped opposite the royals. "Mom, Dad, this is Mal. From the Isle. My girlfriend." He introduced her and Mal smiled nervously at the looks they were giving her.
"Hi." Mal greeted them, smiling shyly. Belle smiled back reassuringly, as did Bree, but Adam looked skeptical. The conversation was pleasant enough and soon the royal family and the VK's were talking and enjoying a game of croquet. Mal couldn't help but smile. Everything was going great, until a familiar but completely unwelcome voice was heard by Mal.
"I don't believe this!" Queen Leah exclaimed, looking around at the royals and VK's who were having a nice time. But the Queen was loud enough to draw people's attention to her. "How can you all stand their and talk to them like nothing is wrong!?" The older woman questioned as Audrey and Chad moved to stand next to her. Mal felt Ben step beside her but neither said a word, Ben still wasn't happy about the way Leah had treated Mal.
Mal noticed Malice was attempting to keep Mav and Malia calm, they hated shouting, but Bree moved to stand the other side of the purplette and her pseudo siblings were only a few steps behind her. "Mother, stop this. I don't know what your problem is with Mal but it ends today." Aurora stated, shocking both her mother and daughter as well as Mal herself.
"My problem with her!? My problem with her is that because of her mother I couldn't raise you." She told her daughter before turning to face Mal, as Fairy Godmother stepped behind Leah in an attempt to comfort her. "My daughter was raised by fairies because of your mothers curse. Her first words, her first steps, I missed it all." The older woman stated before tears started to gether in her eyes.
Mal immediately felt sorry for the older woman and despite everything she had put Mal through the purplette kind of understood it. "I'm so sor..." She began saying as she took a step forward, but Chad quickly moved in front of her.
"Don't do this Chad." Ben warned as he took Mals hand in his own.
"Are you serious right now, Ben!?" Audrey shouted at the soon to be King. "How can you stand up for them after all the trouble their parents caused our families!? How could you even allow them off that retched Isle!?" She shouted. Mal was a little surprised the brunette was speaking to Ben that way but after what she had done to Bree a few weeks before she really shouldn't have been. The bruise was still slightly visible on Bree's cheek.
"They are not their parents." Bree snapped at the brunette. She's had enough of Audrey's attitude as of late and the way she had been treating the VK's was simply out of order.
It was then that Chad finally seemed to find his voice. "They were raised by their parents!" The blonde prince snapped at the royal twins before glaring at Mal. "What do you think villains teach their kids, love? Kindness? No way, okay." He began ranting. It was then he turned all his attention towards Mal. "You stole another girls boyfriend and heaven knows what trouble they will cause." He stated, his eyes flicking to Malice, Malia and Mav for the last half of his sentence. Ben took a step towards the blonde prince but Chad soon turned his attention to Jay. "You enjoy hurting people, and you..." He said before turning to Evie. "You're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater." He stated before he and Audrey started chuckling.
The purplette turned to find Aurora stood next to Malice, trying to soothe her clearly upset younger siblings, Snow White was stood next to an upset Evie, Aziz was near Jay and Carlos was stood further back with Pepper, Anita and Roger. But Mal had had enough. Chad could insult her all he wanted (even if what he said was wrong) but she wasn't going to stand there and let him insult her family. "Oh please, like you're any better!" Mal snapped, stepping past Ben to face Chad and Audrey. "Sure we were raised by villains but some of you are worse then us!" She said.
"How are some of us worse then you demon spawns!?" Audrey shouted at the half fairy.
Mal couldn't help but let her eyes glow slightly at the brunette for what she called them. "At least we don't go around slapping the Princess of Auradon because she told you to leave her brother alone after he dumped you." A round of gasps were heard by all those present. "Oh and by the way if I find out you've raised a hand to her again, you'll have to to deal with." Mal threatened the brunette, her eyes glowing brightly at the princess in fron of her.
Audrey visibly paled at Mal's words. "Liar!" Chad shouted and Mal's stare rounded on him immediately.
"Really, Chad? Am I?" Mal asked and she couldn't help but grin evilly as she noticed the smile drop off of his face. "Okay well how about we talk about you then?"
Chad tried his best to look unaffected by Mal's questions but the purplette could see the nerves and trepidation in his eyes. She was trying to be good for Ben but the sight made her feel very happy. It seemed she would always be a little wicked, but if thats what it took to keep her family safe from jerks like Chad and Audrey then she could live with that. "I have nothing to hide." the blonde prince stated.
Chuckling Mal raised an eyebrow but Chad remained silent. "Okay if that's how you want to play it, why don't we tell people the reason you are passing all you classes." She stated before looking around. Eventually her eyes landed on a couple she assumed to be Chad's parents. "Prince Charming and Princess Cinderella?" Mal questioned, wanting to make sure she was speaking to the right couple. Her smile grew as she saw them nod. "The reason your son is passing all his classes with flying colors is because he charms the girls into doing it for him. He promises them dates and getting to spend time with him in exchange for them going his homework. Most recently he has been talking Evie into doing it for him." She told them and she didn't miss the furious and disappointed looks that passed across their faced.
Only then did Mal finally turn back and face Queen Leah. "I'm sorry for what my mother did, it was inexcusable and completely uncalled for but surely you realize how much it must have hurt her?" Mal questioned and for the first time she noticed the proud but caring look on the faces of the prople around her, including Ben, Bree, Belle, Adam and Fairy Godmother. "You invited everyone but her. I've been there and it's not a nice feeling." She told the Queen.
"M." Evie said and Mal quickly turned to face the blunette. All the VK's knew Mal was referring to Evie 6th birthday party and it was something that still upset Evie, knowing she had hurt Mal like that.
Sighing Mal smiled at her pseudo sister. "Relax E, I know it wasn't your fault and I've forgiven you for that." She told her before turning back to Queen Leah. "I'm not excusing what she did, my mother was completely evil in what she did, but you have to see things from her side as well. Sure she probably wouldn't have accepted the invitation but she also wouldn't have cursed Aurora. She would have been content to rule the moors and forbidden forest while playing mostly harmless pranks on the three good fairies." The purplette explained. She let out a deep breath as she felt Ben take her hand in his once more. "I just hope one day you will be able to see me as me and not as my mother." The teen said before turning to Ben. "I'm sorry but I really need to be alone right now."
Ben nodded completely understanding where she was coming from and with a kiss to her hand, above his signet ring (something his parents spotted immediately) he let her go. As Mal walked towards the school the VK's joined her and applause sounded from the Auradon citizens who had listened to Mal's speech. Mal heard Aurora, Snow White, Roger, Anita and Aziz talking to Leah and Ben and Bree talking to their parents about her and the other VK's as she left btu she didn't care. She just wanted to get back to her dorm room and relax, the day had been stressful enough and she had to see/handle everyone again the next day at Ben's coronation. She just hoped things went smoothly, she would hate to spoil such an important day for Ben.
