"Hey." Eight-year-old Lefi looked up in time to catch an apple that was being tossed her way. "I got the least rotten one. I know you like them like that." Mal said.
"Thanks." When Mal sat down next to her sister, she watched as the blonde took a bite. "I have to tell you something."
"What's up?" the purple-haired girl asked.
"Do you remember the Evil Queen's daughter?" Mal scowled, but nodded. "She lives out here and we hang out sometimes." Lefi admitted.
"Lef, really? She's the enemy." Mal said, rolling her eyes. Lefi laughed humorlessly.
"Who else am I supposed to hang out with, Mal?" she asked. The purple-haired girl sighed. "Why do you hate her, anyway?"
"It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that she's the reason that Mom banished them out here." Mal commented, scowling. Lefi turned toward her sister.
"Wait, Mom is the one who sent them out here?" she asked. Mal nodded.
"Yeah, of course." Lefi sighed. "I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let me have a bite of your apple."
"Here." Lefi mumbled, handing it over.
As they approached the door to Fairy Godmother's office, Evie turned her head and sent Lefi a small smile, reaching out and squeezing her hand before knocking on the door.
"Come in." Opening the door, the pair walked in. "Evie, Lefi, hello. Please have a seat." Fairy Godmother said, smiling softly.
"Are we in trouble?" Lefi asked, earning a roll of the eyes from her girlfriend. Turning her head slightly, Evie sent her a look. "What?"
"You and I both know why we're here." the blue-haired girl whispered, causing Fairy Godmother to laugh softly.
"It's been brought to my attention that you two are currently in a relationship." the woman said. The two girls nodded. "I can no longer allow you two to share a dorm room. I'm sure you understand why."
"We do." Evie said, looking down. Biting her lip, Lefi decided to speak up.
"Fairy Godmother, you want us to have separate rooms because you think we'll have sex if we're sharing one, right?" she asked. The woman nodded. "With all due respect, living in separate rooms won't stop us from that. If anything, sharing a room is stopping us more because we have a third roommate to worry about."
"Be that as it may, if I were to allow you two to share a room, I couldn't very well tell other couples that they can't share a room." When Lefi looked like she was going to speak up again, Evie grabbed her hand.
"We understand. How do you want us to move forward?" she asked. Fairy Godmother smiled.
"I'd like one of you to move across the hall with Jane. You can decide who moves." she said. Before Evie could even begin to process the sentence, Lefi was speaking up.
"I'll move in with Jane." she announced.
"Lef, what about Mal?" Evie whispered. Looking over, the blonde smiled.
"It was your room first, Evie. You shouldn't have to move out. I'll only be across the hall; I'll still see Mal a lot." she replied softly. The blue-haired girl nodded. When Lefi looked back at Fairy Godmother, she nodded her affirmation. "I'll move in with Jane, Fairy Godmother."
"Okay. I'd like it to happen the first thing in the morning." Fairy Godmother declared. The pair nodded. "You're free to go."
"Thank you." they said in unison, standing up and walking out of the office. As soon as they were outside, Evie pulled her girlfriend into a hug.
"I don't want you to go." she whispered, causing Lefi to laugh.
"Eves, I'm not moving back to the Isle. I'm not even moving to another building; I'm moving across the hall. We'll see each other all the time." the blonde said. Evie nodded. "We have tonight."
"Yeah, we do." Evie said, grabbing Lefi's hand and pulling her back toward the outdoor eating area.
…
The next morning, Lefi woke up before Mal and Evie. She had her back turned to her girlfriend, and immediately noticed that the taller girl had wrapped her arms around her in the middle of the night. Letting out a sigh, she turned around in Evie's arms and pressed a kiss to the sleeping girl's forehead, causing the other girl to stir. "Hi." she whispered when Evie opened her eyes.
"Hi." Lefi smiled softly. "If we go back to sleep, do you still have to move out?" the blue-haired girl asked.
"I think so." Lefi admitted. Evie groaned. "Go back to sleep. I need to continue packing my stuff."
"I won't be able to go back to sleep. I'll help." A sad smile on her face, Evie slipped out from under the comforter.
…
A few hours later, Lefi was unpacking the last of her stuff. Taking out a shirt, she moved to put it in the drawer before turning around seeing Jane watching her. "I'm sorry you're being forced to give up half of your room." she said, looking over at Jane.
"Don't be! I've never had a roommate before. I'm really excited that you're moving in!" Jane replied, smiling brightly. Watching the brunette for a moment, Lefi smiled softly.
"So am I." she said, walking over and hugging the girl.
…
While Lefi was in her room with Jane, Evie was at lunch with Mal and Ben. They were just finishing up when Ben spoke. "Oh, Evie, I almost forgot. Mal told me that Fairy Godmother asked Lefi to move out of your room." Evie nodded. "I could talk to her, if you want, and try to change her mind. I can't guarantee anything, but it's worth a shot."
"You'd do that for us?" Ben nodded. "I have to go talk to Lef." Evie said, jumping up and rushing off. It took her only minutes to get back to the dorms, quickly knocking on the door to Lefi and Jane's room. Lefi looked up at the knock, smiling when she saw Evie standing in the doorway.
"Hey! I thought you and Mal were getting lunch." she said.
"We were, but I wanted to talk to you about something." Evie replied. Lefi nodded. "Can we talk in the hall?"
"Sure." Standing up, the blonde walked out of the room, just outside of the door. "What's up?" she asked. Evie grinned.
"I was talking to Ben and he said that he would try to convince Fairy Godmother to change her mind about the room situation if we want him to." she said. Lefi bit her lip, glancing back toward the room before looking up at Evie. "What's wrong?" The blonde pulled her girlfriend away from the room.
"I can't move back in." she whispered. Brow furrowed, Evie shook her head in confusion.
"Why not? I thought that's what we wanted, what you wanted." she replied.
"It is, but… Jane's never had a roommate before and she's really excited that I moved in. I don't want to hurt her feelings." Lefi admitted. Evie smiled softly. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I think it's sweet. It actually makes me love you even more." Evie replied. Lefi blushed. "Do you need help organizing?"
"I would love some." Lefi said, smiling as she pulled her girlfriend into the room.
…
That night, Evie let out a huff of annoyance. She'd been trying to fall asleep for three hours, but was having trouble. Sitting up, she stared at the door for a few minutes before making a decision and getting out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Jumping, she turned to find her roommate staring at her with an amused smirk. Grabbing a ponytail, Evie put her hair in a messy bun.
"I think we both know the answer to that." she replied. Chuckling, Mal rolled over.
"Tell Lef I said hi." she said. Rolling her eyes, the taller girl made her way out of her own dorm and quickly walked across the hall. She knew the door would be unlocked – nobody locked their doors in Auradon – and silently slipped into the room. Closing the door quietly, Evie tip-toed over to Lefi's bed and gently shook her. When the blonde opened her eyes, Evie quickly put a finger on her lips with a wide smile on her face.
"Hi." she whispered, slipping under the comforter.
"What are you doing here?" Lefi asked. Evie shrugged.
"I missed you." she said. The shorter girl grinned. "You spent ten years sneaking into my room, I thought I'd try sneaking into yours." Looking over toward Jane's bed, Lefi turned back to her girlfriend.
"You have to be quiet. You're going to wake her up." she whispered. Evie grinned, kissing her girlfriend. "Are you okay?"
"Of course." Evie said, clearly lying. Lefi stared at her for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "You know, I had trouble sleeping the first few weeks I was here? It took me almost a month to get a full night's sleep." Evie admitted. Lefi pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I spent ten years sharing a bed with you, it was weird not having you with me. It didn't take me long to get used to having you back."
"We didn't share a bed every night. We didn't share one at all for the first two months that I was here." Lefi pointed out.
"Yeah, but you were there." Evie whispered. Lefi smiled. "I think I'll be able to fall asleep now."
"Go ahead. I'm here." Lefi promised, smiling softly. Kissing her girlfriend's cheek, Evie smiled before drifting off to sleep. Shortly after, Lefi followed suit.
…
The next morning, Evie woke up, confused as to where she was. All she knew was that she wasn't in her own room. As she tried to figure it out, she heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
"Good morning, Evie." Blinking, Evie slowly realized that she was still in Lefi and Jane's room. "Don't worry, I won't say anything to my mom." the brunette said, chuckling.
"I was supposed to leave an hour ago." the blue-haired girl said. Just as Evie sat up, Lefi entered the room and saw her girlfriend still in bed.
"Really, Evie?" she asked. The taller girl smiled sheepishly. "I woke you up before I went to go take a shower."
"Apparently not." Evie replied. Shaking her head, Lefi walked over.
"I can explain, Jane." she said. The brunette smiled.
"Don't worry about it. I already told Evie I wouldn't say anything to my mom." Lefi smiled gratefully. "I'm going to go take a shower."
"Thank you, Jane." She smiled before exiting the room. "You're going to get us in trouble one of these days." Lefi said, sitting next to the taller girl.
"I look forward to it." Evie whispered with a sly grin, pulling her girlfriend into a kiss.
…
An hour later, the two were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. "Maybe I should sneak into your room from now on." Lefi commented as she took a bite of her cereal.
"Why?" Evie asked.
"You were still there when Jane woke up. If it happens too many more times, she'll tell her mom. Mal won't say a word." Evie chuckled. "Maybe this could be good for us. I mean, we spent every night together for ten years. Maybe we spend too much time together." Lefi said carefully. Evie frowned.
"You think so?" she asked. The blonde shrugged.
"I don't think it's possible, but it seemed like the thing to say." she admitted. Laughing, Evie kissed her girlfriend. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Evie whispered, smiling softly before turning back to her breakfast.
The first days on the Isle after Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay went to Auradon were tough. First, Lefi had to figure out where to sleep. She found an abandoned hut that – for some reason – had a working lock with a key still inside the building. She decided to claim it as her own. Then she had to worry about getting the clothes that Evie had kept for her out of the Evil Queen's house. Now that she was friends with Maleficent, she went to town a lot more. It was just a matter of catching her just as she left to ensure that there was enough time to gather all of her belongings.
It ended up being a lot easier than she thought it would be. Evie kept all of her clothes in one place, so she could find them easily. The girl also had a habit of keeping her room clean, so finding other items that she'd left in the room took merely a couple of minutes.
Once she got back to the hut with her belongings, it finally dawned on her that both her sister and her best friend were gone. Yes, Evie was her girlfriend, but she was so much more than that. She was, essentially, her everything and now she was just… gone. Lefi wasn't sure she'd ever find a way to get past that.
