Author's Note: I don't own anything other than my original character
The day that Evie, Mal, Jay, and Carlos left for Auradon, Lefi had been allowed into town for her monthly hair dye appointment. She was making her way back to the forest when she saw a large crowd. Curious, she walked over and nudged the nearest kid. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Some kids just left for Auradon." She raised an eyebrow.
"Who?" she snapped.
"Um… Mal, Jay, Evie, Carlos, I think." Lefi felt her heart sink and looked up at the house that she knew her mother and Mal lived in. She saw her mother and briefly made eye contact with the woman. She may not have known Maleficent very well, but she did know that she would never let Mal move to Auradon without an ulterior motive. Letting out a sigh, she walked over.
"What are you up to?" she asked, just barely avoiding flinching when Maleficent turned to her.
"What are you still doing in town? You are supposed to go to the hair salon and go back to the forest." the woman said.
"Why did you send Mal to Auradon?" Lefi demanded. Maleficent smirked.
"Mal was invited." Lefi scoffed.
"Why did you let her go, Mother?" she asked. The woman raised an eyebrow. "You know what? I don't even want to know." the girl said, turning around and walking away. She got halfway back to the forest when she stopped in her tracks. "Where am I going to sleep tonight?" she whispered.
Throughout the ball, Lefi danced with Aziz. Although it had been Evie's idea – as they walked back to the ballroom, Lefi had suggested simply going back to the dorm – she couldn't help but glare as she watched the pair. However, she could tell that the blonde was having fun and refused to allow her possessiveness to ruin that.
"Your jealousy is showing." Hearing her best friend's voice, Evie rolled her eyes as the girl sat down next to her. "Where's Doug?" Mal asked.
"I'm not sure. You don't think Aziz would try anything with Lef, do you?" she asked. Mal shook her head.
"Even if he did, she wouldn't let him." she replied. Evie nodded slowly. "Is there something going on between you two?"
"No." It technically wasn't a lie; they'd agreed that nothing would change between them until the ball was over. Just then, Lefi walked up. "Hey." the taller girl said, her face lighting up when she saw her.
"Hi. I'm getting kind of tired. Evie, do you want to walk back with me?" Lefi asked. Mal frowned.
"Aziz isn't going with you?" she asked. Lefi shook her head.
"He offered, but I can tell he wants to stay, so I told him I could get back on my own. I just thought that if Evie was ready to go, we could walk together since we're going to the same place." she said. Raising an eyebrow, Mal watched as her best friend stood up. She could see through the story, but decided it wasn't the time to call them out on it.
"Okay. I'll see you in the morning." As the pair walked away, Ben walked up. "Hi." she said, smiling up at her boyfriend.
"What's going on with those two?" he asked. Mal smirked.
"I have a hunch, but I'm getting to the bottom of it tomorrow." she replied. Looking up at her boyfriend, she stood up. "Dance with me, King Ben."
"As you wish." Smiling, Mal allowed herself to be lead to the dance floor.s
…
"How do you like Auradon so far?" Evie asked as they walked back to their dorm.
"It's amazing. I can see why you guys wanted to stay here." Lefi replied, looking around.
"Can I ask you a question?" Evie asked. Lefi nodded. "Where did you sleep after I left?" Thinking for a moment, the blonde took a deep breath.
"I found a place." she said, choosing her words carefully. Evie frowned.
"Was it safe?" she asked. Lefi shrugged.
"There was only one place on the Isle that I felt safe." she admitted, squeezing her hand. Smiling softly, Evie leaned in and kissed her before quickly pulling back and continuing to walk. "I've noticed something over the last couple of months.
"What's that?" the taller girl asked, looking back at the blonde.
"You dress differently than you did on the Isle." Lefi observed. Evie nodded.
"I've gotten to explore fashion a lot more here. I really love it." she explained.
"I think you could go far with it." Lefi said, causing the other girl to blush. "Eves... What about Mal?" Evie looked over at the blonde. "What are we going to tell her?"
"I don't want to lie to her." Evie replied.
"I don't think we should flaunt our relationship right now, though. I don't want to hurt Doug any more than I already have." Lefi deflated a little bit, but nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry."
"Evie, I don't care how I have you as long as I do." the shorter girl said, smiling as they reached their dorm room. When they were inside, she found herself being pulled into a passionate kiss. "I love you."
"I will never get tired of hearing that." Evie whispered, her forehead resting on Lefi's.
"I will never get tired of saying it. Now that I've said it, I don't want to stop." Lefi replied. Evie grinned. "Say it back."
"What if I don't?" Evie teased. Raising an eyebrow, Lefi pulled away and walked over to her bed. "What are you doing?"
"I'm getting ready for bed and then I'm sleeping by myself." the blonde said. Evie's jaw dropped slightly. "Good night."
"You've picked up some new guilt tripping tactics." Lefi smirked. "I love you, too." Smiling over at the girl, Lefi waved her over. "Are we back together now?" Evie whispered as she hugged the blonde.
"Completely." Lefi replied. A small smile on her face, Evie pulled her into a kiss. "Let's get ready for bed. I wasn't lying when I told Mal I was tired."
"It's been a pretty eventful evening." Evie agreed, moving to her side of the room. Once she was changed into her pajamas and had taken her makeup off, she walked back over to Lefi's bed. After changing into her pajamas, taking her makeup off, and throwing her hair into a messy ponytail, Lefi crawled into her bed, smiling as Evie pulled her close. "You're so beautiful." the blue-haired girl whispered.
"You're one to talk." Lefi replied, chuckling. Evie blushed. "Good night, Eves."
"Good night, Lef." Evie replied. For the first time since she left the Isle, she had absolutely no trouble falling asleep.
...
The next day, when Evie saw Mal at lunch, she decided to tell her and just get it over with. Taking a deep breath, she walked over to the girl's table. "M... We need to talk." she said, sitting down next to her best friend. Mal smirked as she sipped her soda.
"Okay. What do you want to talk about? The fact that you ditched Doug at the ball or the fact that you're dating my sister?" Evie raised an eyebrow. "I'm not dumb, E. I saw the way you two were looking at each other last night and I definitely saw you sleeping in her bed when I got back to the room."
"Are you mad?" Evie whispered. Mal shook her head with a smile.
"No, I had a feeling you two would get back together." The taller girl smiled softly; secretly, she'd been nervous about her best friend's reaction. "Do you regret moving to Auradon and leaving Lefi?" Mal asked. Evie shook her head.
"I don't know if I would have ever figured out that I love her if I hadn't left the Isle." she admitted. Mal looked at her carefully. "What?"
"You love my sister?" the purple-haired girl asked. Evie nodded. "You know that if you hurt her-"
"You don't have to finish that sentence." Evie said.
"But I'm going to." Mal said, her tone leaving no room for argument. Evie bit her lip. "You are my best friend, and I love you like a sister, but… if you hurt my twin, I will hurt you."
"I know. But you don't have to worry about that, because I don't plan on ever losing her again." the blue-haired girl said. Mal smiled.
"Good." she said. Hugging her best friend, Evie pulled away with a grin. "I also don't want to hear any details about what happens between you two. You can tell me the romantic stuff, but there are boundaries that I really need you to not cross."
"I promise." Evie replied, laughing. Shaking her head in amusement, she turned to her tray and began eating, her thoughts consumed with the girl that had her heart.
About two months after she'd arrived in Auradon, Evie found herself in a new relationship. She really liked Doug, but she couldn't get Lefi out of her head. She missed the girl. The worst part for her was that she hadn't gotten to say goodbye. She was sure that the blonde hated her for that and the thought Lefi hating her broke her heart.
Evie would have given anything to go back to the Isle, if only for a few minutes, to see her again. However, she wasn't sure how that would be possible.
