Author's Note: I don't own anything other than my original character.
This one is kind of a filler chapter, but things get interesting in the next one, I promise!
"I have a present for you." nine-year-old Lefi said, sitting down next to her best friend. Evie smiled in surprise. "I saw it when I was in town for my hair and I thought of you."
"Did you steal it?" the blue-haired girl asked.
"Of course I did." Lefi replied, smirking. Evie chuckled. "Here." Holding out a necklace with a red heart pendant, Lefi smiled nervously. When Evie saw it, she immediately fell in love with it. "Do you like it?"
"It's perfect! Thank you so much!" Hugging her best friend, Evie immediately put the necklace on.
"Hi!" Lefi looked up from her homework with a smile as her girlfriend approached her. "I have great news."
"What's up?" the blonde asked. Evie grinned.
"Mal and Ben are visiting his parents for the weekend. I'm going to have the room all to myself." she said. Lefi smirked. "I have the entire night planned. Since it's our anniversary-"
"We've only been back together for five months." Lefi pointed out. Evie shook her head.
"No, I meant it's the anniversary of the very first day we started dating back on the Isle." she explained. Lefi smiled softly. "What do you say?"
"I think it sounds perfect. I can't wait." she replied. Letting out a squeal of excitement, Evie clapped her hands. "I need to get my homework done, so you need to stop being cute."
"I can try, but I think we both know how hard that will be." Evie said, pressing a kiss to her girlfriend's cheek. Chuckling, Lefi turned back to her assignment.
…
"Oh, wow." Evie smiled nervously as Lefi looked around at the picnic she'd set up. "Eves, this is beautiful." Lefi whispered, smiling softly.
"Thank you. There's all kinds of food in the basket, including shrimp cocktail." When Lefi first came to Auradon, she'd immediately taken a liking to shrimp cocktail and began eating it as often as she could. "I have a surprise for you." Evie said.
"Another one?" Lefi asked. Evie nodded, reaching in her purse and pulling out a familiar necklace. "I haven't seen that in years." the blonde whispered, smiling softly.
"I found it last week. I thought I'd lost it. I cried when I couldn't find it. I also cried when I found it." Lefi giggled. "This is the best present I've ever gotten." Evie said, resting her chin on her girlfriend's shoulder.
"It's a plastic necklace. You have real jewelry that is much nicer than this." the blonde replied.
"That may be, but… this came from you and… you're the love of my life." Lefi looked up quickly.
"Really?" she whispered, earning a nod from the taller girl. Smiling shyly, she wiped a tear that was threatening to fall. "You are definitely winning the girlfriend of the year award." Evie grinned, accepting the kiss Lefi gave her. "Let's eat."
"Sounds good." Evie said, sitting down on the blanket that she'd set up.
…
An hour after Lefi went back to her room, Evie heard the door open. Immediately knowing who it was, she grinned and jumped out of bed, walking over and pulling her girlfriend into a kiss. "Wait, shut the door." Lefi whispered, laughing as Evie practically slammed the door shut.
"What took you so long?" Evie asked.
"Jane wouldn't fall asleep." the blonde explained. The blue-haired girl pulled her over to the bed and kissing her again. "She just kept talking."
"You should stop talking." Evie whispered. Lefi grinned, accepting Evie's kiss. After a few moments, the blonde pulled away quickly.
"What's wrong?" Evie asked. the girl could answer, she was leaning over the side of the bed and grabbing Evie's trash can, immediately throwing up. "Oh, sweetie." she whispered, quickly grabbing a ponytail and pulling Lefi's hair back when she stopped. "Was it something you ate?"
"Why is this happening tonight?" Lefi whined. Evie chuckled. "We ate the exact same thing, why are you not throwing up?"
"Well, I didn't eat the shrimp. Do you think it was bad?" Evie asked. Lefi sent her a look before throwing up again. "I'm so sorry, Lef."
"It's fine." the blonde managed to get out. Evie bit her lip.
"Let's get you to the infirmary." she said, helping Lefi up. As the girl clutched her trash can, she pressed a kiss to her head.
"So much for girlfriend of the year, huh?" Evie looked over.
"That's a lot of talk for someone that's hanging onto a trash can for dear life." she pointed out. Lefi nodded. "Come on."
"It's okay. I still love you." Lefi said.
"I appreciate that sentiment." Evie mumbled, rolling her eyes as they made their way into the hallway. Letting out a sigh, she carefully made her way to the infirmary, helping her onto a bed as the nurse came out. "Food poisoning." she explained, sitting down in a chair next to her girlfriend. Grabbing her hand, she smiled sympathetically as the girl curled up in the fetal position. "This is going to be a long night, isn't it?"
"Not exactly the one I had in mind, but at least we're together." Lefi said. Evie chuckled. "You don't have to stay."
"If you think I'm going anywhere, you don't know me at all. I'm staying right here." Lefi nodded. "I love you, Lef."
"I love you, too." Evie smiled softly, brushing some hair out of her face before sitting back in her chair.
"What are you doing?" ten-year-old Lefi asked as she watched Evie sew.
"Well, I noticed that you only have a limited number of clothes, so I thought I'd try making you some. I've always wanted to try making clothes." Evie explained. Lefi smiled softly.
"I don't know what to say." she whispered.
"You don't have to say anything, Lef. I wanted to do this." Evie said, chuckling as her best friend hugged her. "Don't worry, I've paid attention to your preferred style and color choices. It wasn't that hard to find black material and I thought I'd throw in some green. I think it will bring out your eyes."
"No purple. That's Mal's color." Lefi said. Evie nodded. "Did you just start making that jacket?"
"Yeah."
"It's great." Evie smiled shyly. "Thank you, Eves." Lefi said, hugging the girl.
"Of course. Let me get back to work." Lefi nodded, laughing slightly.
