Usually, walking down the hallway in Beasts Castle was not so nerve racking, but for this certain nineteen year young man, he was frantic in a good and a bad way. He was heading to go see Mal, wanting to talk to her about someone he cared for with all his heart.
Mal was in the small family room, sketching the snow covered rose garden down below. She jumped a little when Eddie called her name. As Eddie entered the room, Mal gave him a kind smile, being able to sense his nervous energy. He is a usual visitor to the castle, so she wasn't surprised he was there, but he was by himself, which is different.
"Yes Eddie?" Mal questioned after taking a deep breath, finally calming down after her little scare, still smiling.
"I need your help." Eddie replied. At this Mal raised an eyebrow, prompting Eddie to continue. Eddie rushed to sit down and explained everything.
"Why'd you come to me for help?" Mal questioned.
"Because I need some magical assistance." Eddie answered. "And please note it's for Becky, not me."
"I'll help, free of charge." Mal smiled knowingly. "So, I'm guessing that Becky doesn't know about your magical surprise?"
After a week of planing Eddie and Mal were all set. it was Christmas Eve and the royal family was holding their usual holiday party. When the time came, Mal did just as she agreed to do. Right above where Becky and Eddie were standing, a mistletoe started to grow from the ceiling.
"Hey, you two, look above you!" Mal shouted. The two of them did and looked up to see the mistletoe, Eddie smiled and Becky blushed.
"You guys know the tradition." Ben added, with a smirk. He held Mal in a hug. Ben of course wasn't aware of Eddies Christmas proposal, but once he saw the green sparks around the mistletoe, he knew that his purple haired beauty was plotting this kiss. Becky and Eddie had been dating for four years, so no one thought that this was about to be different. But instead of the usual kiss, Eddie got down on one knee with a ring in his hand.
"Becky, for the past sixteen years I've had the privilege of having you as my best friend and that is something I am eternally grateful for. And for the past four years I have had the honor of being your boyfriend, but now I want to spend the rest of my life with my best friend by my side, so we can grow old together. Will you make me the happiest man in the entire kingdom and marry me?" Eddie asked.
Becky's eyes filled with tears of happiness. "Yes!" She cried.
At the yes, everyone applauded. Someone shouted "Kiss her already!" At this the two did kiss passionately. After all the congratulations and the party started to die down, Eddie went searching for Mal once again. "Thank you so much for the help Mal." Eddie thanked. "I couldn't have done it without you."
"It was nothing, I knew you could do it, my help or not." Mal said.
"I knew you were up to something when I saw that mistletoe appear out of nowhere above them" Ben came up behind them after congratulating his younger sister.
"It was all Eddies plan, I just made it better." Mal responded, smiling at Eddie.
"Well thanks again Mal," Eddie added.
Mal wrapped Eddie in a hug. "Welcome to the family, officially now."
Eddie returned the hug. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." He nodded to Ben and Mal before going to join his new fiancé.
Ben held Mal in his arms. "I think Becky and Eddie are going to take great care of each other, I mean their role model is us."
Mal smiled looking over at the young couple. "I wouldn't disagree with you at all."
