Author's Note: I don't own anything other than my original character
"You've never told me why your mom banished you." thirteen-year-old Evie commented. Lefi chuckled
"And you've never told me why she banished you." she countered. Evie bit her lip. "You don't have to."
"We've been friends for seven years, I think I can tell you." Evie replied. The blonde smiled supportively. "I didn't invite Mal to my birthday party. Your mom didn't like that, so she banished me and my mom."
"Yeah, she doesn't really take well to not receiving invitations. Just ask Sleeping Beauty." Lefi pointed out. Evie nodded. "She told me that I was too weak to be her daughter and that she refused to have me around anymore."
"She did what?" Evie exclaimed, jumping up. Lefi pulled her back down. "That's evil."
"Eves, we live on an island of villains. What do you expect?" The blue-haired girl sighed.
"You don't deserve this life." she whispered. Lefi chuckled.
"I think about the positives. If she hadn't banished me, I never would have met you." she pointed out. Evie smiled softly, leaning into her best friend for a moment before sitting up straight.
"I have question. You have blonde hair, but Mal has purple. Does she dye hers?" she asked. Lefi sighed.
"Actually, I dye mine. My natural hair color is green, but my mom makes me dye it blonde. She says that I don't deserve to wear one of her colors, but I think she just doesn't want people that might see me to know that I'm her daughter." she explained. Evie shook her head.
"I really hate your mom." she admitted. Lefi bit her lip.
"You know what the worst part is?" she asked. Evie shook her head again. "I can't hate her. I've spent the last seven years trying, but I can't. She's still my mom."
"I'm sorry that this happened to you." Evie said. Lefi smiled, but Evie could tell she was uncomfortable, so she decided to change the subject. "Have you ever kissed anyone?" she asked, looking over at Lefi.
"Eves, I only spend time with two people - you and my sister. I haven't kissed my sister and I think you'd know if I'd kissed you." the blonde replied, earning a laugh from the taller girl. "Have you?"
"No, I haven't. I want to, though." the blue-haired girl admitted.
"Oh yeah? Who would you want to kiss?" Lefi asked. Evie shrugged.
"Someone I trust." Lefi looked over at her best friend.
"Okay, well, who do you trust?" Thinking for a moment, the blue-haired girl looked down shyly.
"You're pretty much the only one." she admitted. Lefi barely held back a gasp, staring at Evie for a moment before looking down.
"Oh." she whispered.
"You don't have to." Looking at Evie, Lefi took a deep breath and leaned in, kissing her softly. After a few moments, the pair broke apart with shy smiles on their faces. "I wonder if it always feels like that."
"P-probably." Lefi stammered, looking down as she blushed. Watching the girl for a couple of minutes, Evie smiled softly before facing forward.
A few weeks later, the pair had slowly grown more comfortable around each other. They were spending time together and they were both starting to accept that their roles in each other's lives had changed. They were getting to know each other again, and Evie quickly learned that Lefi had changed slightly in the few months that she'd been by herself on the Isle.
Currently, Evie was helping Lefi with her chemistry homework. However, the girl had been working on the assignment without any help for the majority of their tutoring session.
"Thanks for doing this, Evie." the blonde said. The taller girl smiled softly.
"Of course. You're doing really well. You're catching on quick." she replied. Lefi chuckled.
"It must be the way you're explaining it, because I'm lost whenever Mr. Deley is teaching." Looking up at the clock, Lefi jumped up.
"What's wrong?" Evie asked.
"I have a date with Aziz." Lefi explained. The taller girl raised an eyebrow.
"Aladdin and Jasmine's son?" the taller girl asked. Lefi nodded. "I didn't know you two knew each other."
"We're in the same art class. We sit next to each other." Evie nodded slowly, watching as Lefi pulled on a jacket. "Hey, I was wondering something."
"What's up?" Evie asked, closing the textbook in front of her and capping her pen.
"How does your royal status work here? Your mom was a queen before all of the villains were sent to the Isle, right?" Biting her lip, Evie let out a sigh.
"Yeah, she was, but our royal status is nonexistent in Auradon. I'm just regular Evie here." she explained. Sending the other girl a warm smile, Lefi placed a kiss on Evie's cheek.
"You'll always be my princess." she whispered, walking out of the room. As the door closed, Evie stared at in confusion, the last time Lefi said those words to her immediately coming to mind.
"Do you ever wonder what it's like in Auradon?" twelve-year-old Evie asked, not looking at Lefi as they sat on the cliff. They could see Auradon in the distance.
"All the time." the blonde admitted.
"I'd be a princess there." the blue-haired girl whispered, looking over at her best friend. Lefi scoffed.
"You're a princess here, Eves." she pointed out. Evie laughed humorlessly.
"Some princess. I can't even go into town." she mumbled. Lefi looked over at her best friend, leaning in and kissing her cheek.
"You'll always be my princess." she whispered, smiling softly.
