I do not own Maleficent!

"So Diaval, Aurora what was the stream incident?" Maleficent asked the couple. Diavel could feel a his cheeks burning ad he sat on the ground holding Aurora in his lap.

"Well." he began "It was a long time ago.." Aurora said turning to face him.

"Tag! You're it Diaval." Aurora said one chilly autumn afternoon before running away. Diaval in his human form began chasing after her down the hill. He was larger, but she was fast. 'And had been using two legs all her life' Diaval thought. She turned to face him from the other side of a stream. Diaval started to follow her before slipping halfway through.

"You are lucky I can't fly right now." His words were met with the sound of her laughter. It was what he loved the most about her. Aurora had a laugh untouched by all magic; it was not the bell-like laugh of the perfect princess. Her laughs came from her heart and changed depending on how funny something was. First they would sound like a donkey's bray when something only just got her to laugh. Then they would change to small peals. His favorite though, was her current laughter; a hearty sound that leapt from the depths of her soul, they were untainted and full of nothing but pure joy. It was a laughter that brought tears to her eyes and made her fall over, and he loved every second of it. Standing up, he marched his way through the water to where Aurora was leaning against a tree still laughing with various other elves. With a slightly evil grin on his face, he wrapped his arms around her and began dragging her in.

"Diaval! Let me go!" She said between laughs, softly hitting his chest

"Sorry Aurora, not this time." he said before falling backwards into the stream with Aurora still in his arms. They both stood up wet and dripping

"Take that silly bird!" Aurora said splashing him in the face.

"What ever happened to pretty birdie?" he said splashing her back.

"You ATE HIM UP!" She laughed. after they were both wet and exhausted, the two decided it would be best to get out of the water. Making his way out Diaval took Aurora's hand to help her out. She slipped in the muddy bed and together they fell, Aurora on top. Looking up, Diaval's pale face turned scarlet when he saw how close her lips were to his. they stayed like that for what felt like an eternity.

"S-sorry" Aurora said, slowly rising.

"No, p-problem. We should uh… get back to your godmother."

"She'll be wondering where I am." Aurora agreed. 'Of course she doesn't see me that way. I'm a bird, i could never be prince charming.' Diavel thought to himself. Together they made their way back to Maleficent. From her place behind him Aurora could see him shiver slightly. 'He must be used to his feathers keeping him warm, that flimsy shirt isn't enough.' She thought and upon spotting the shawl that had fallen from her when she had been running.

"Diaval." She called

"Yes milady?" Aurora handed the shawl to him

"You're going to freeze without something covering you." She said offering the shawl to him.

"But I couldn't…" he began

"No, you need it more than I do." Aurora said cutting him off "Besides, if I get too cold I'll ask for it again later."

"Thank you." Diaval said wrapping the almost-too-small-shawl around his shoulders, grateful for the warmth.

For all of you who were wondering, that was the 'Stream Incident' from the first chapter. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW! Especially if you didn't like it or found mistakes. I absolutely LOVE criticism of all sorts.
