Mal's Plan

[Mal and Evie's dorm room. 7:12 am]

Evie's POV

I opened my eyes and stretched. I then looked to my left and saw Mal, sitting up and looking a little sad.

"Hey. Good morning." I said.

Mal looked at me, softly smiled.

"Hey." she said back.

"What's wrong? You look like you've been crying." I said.

"It's nothing. Just allergies." Mal lied.

"Mal, come on. It's okay. You know you can tell me anything." I said as I hugged her.

Her skin felt very soft, and a little cold. I put my blanket around her and hugged her as we both rubbed each other's bare backs.

"I wish we can go somewhere really nice." Mal said.

I have to say I was a little surprised when she said that. But every once in awhile she gets a little depressed. The older memories still gets to her. Which I can understand.

"We can. Summer break starts in a few weeks. We can go someplace really nice then." I suggested.

"I know. But I kinda want to go somewhere sooner than that."

I thought for a moment, then had an idea. Since my idea with the lake worked, I think I'll try something similar.

"Okay. Well today is Friday. How about after school, we go to the beach?" I asked.

"The beach?" Mal asked, not sounding too happy about that idea.

"Yeah." I said.

"No. Evie, you know I can't swim."

"You don't have too. We can just walk alongside the ocean."

"I don't know..."

"You were okay with being at the lake yesterday."

"Well...okay." Mal said with a small smile.

"That's my girl." I said happily.

I gave her a big kiss and got up. I put my bra, shirt, and shoes back on and gave Mal another kiss.

"I'm going to get some breakfast. Is there anything special you would like to have?" I asked.

"No, that's okay. I'll have what you'll have." Mal replied.

"Okay. I love you." I said.

"I love you too, Evie." Mal said.

I blew Mal a kiss and left the room. It was a awhile before I knew about the dream she had about us living in the luxury home. Mal told me after she had a horrible nightmare. But that will be later on. But what I knew at this time was whatever is bothering her, is still bothering her. And I'm hoping some breakfast and some love will make her feel better.

Mal's POV

Thinking about that dream a second time, I decided I was going to do what I can to make it come true. It will take a lot of work, and it definitely will not be easy, but one day, Evie and I will live in our own luxurious home.

"I can't tell Evie about my dream. Otherwise it may not come true. Wait, are dreams wishes? Whatever. I still can't tell her. Even though she's the love of my life. So I'm going to have to do this myself."

I got out of bed and changed my clothes. I walked over to the window and looked out. I saw the mountains in the distance. Were we living in the mountains? No. I don't think so. Maybe close though. I got up and walked over to the bookcase in our room and got a map and sat on my bed. The map showed the whole United States of Auradon. The homeland to all us heros and villains. I looked at it for a while, trying to figure out where Evie and I were. We weren't here in Auradon, but maybe in a different kingdom or some other place? Like Corona, Charmington, maybe even Arendelle? But none of the locations seemed right. I put the map away and saw Evie's laptop.

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind." I said.

I opened it and searched "best forests to live in the world" and looked at pictures of forests in different locations across the globe. Many of them were far from Auradon. After several minutes of looking, I was about to give up when I saw a picture of a forest that looked identical to the one in my dream. It was located in the North American continent in a country called Canada. I researched further in and found out that the country has lots of lakes as well.

"Is this where we were?"

I stared at a picture of a forest with a lake that was in that country for a minute or so, trying to visualize the details of the dream in my mind. But then I was interrupted by the sound of Evie's voice from the hallway. I closed the webpages and her laptop, and quickly ran back over to Evie's bed as the door opened.

Evie's POV

After I got back from the cafeteria, I saw Mal was dressed and looking out the window. I sat the food down on a table that we had, walked over to her and hugged her from behind.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just thinking." she replied.

"About?"

Mal shrugged.

"Nothing important. What did you get?" she asked.

"The usual, bacon and eggs." I replied as we walked over to the table.

We ate our food, and then took turns getting ready in the bathroom. We seen that we had a little spare time to kill, so what better than to make out? We laid in my bed, Mal on top of me.

"Evie?"

"Hmm?"

"I don't want to go to class today."

"Why not?"

"Because, I just don't feel like it."

I lowered myself to where my eyes were looking at Mal's.

"What's going on, Mal? And don't say it's nothing, because it is definitely something." I said.

Mal sighed.

"Okay. I had a dream about us. A wonderful dream about us. And I wish it was real." Mal said.

"Is it about our relationship? Because I do plan on taking it to the point where we would have sex." I said.

"And I would like that. But that's not what my dream was about."

"Then what was it about?"

Mal hesitated. She was holding it back.

"Please tell me. You said it's about us, so therefore, I have a right to know." I said.

Mal took a deep breath.

"I..I can't." she said, nervously.

"Why not?"

"Because...I want it to be a surprise when I make it come true. I don't want to talk about it anymore, okay?!"

I never meant to anger her. I can be a little nosy at times, and most of the time, I don't even realize it. I happen to glance over Mal and saw the time.

"Oh shoot, I gotta go." I said.

I got up and grabbed my bag. I walked back to Mal, who was sitting on the edge of my bed. I kneeled down and held her hands.

"Okay, you don't have to talk about it anymore. I won't ask about it any longer. But if you ever need to talk, just remember, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. Okay? I love you, Mal."

Mal softly smiled.

"I love you too, Evie."

We hugged and kissed a few times.

"Okay, I'll see you at lunch. Don't be late to class." I said as I walked to the door.

"I won't." Mal said.

I smiled, blew her a kiss, then left.

[Auradon Prep. 8:54 am]

Mal's POV

I left shortly after Evie. I went to my locker to get my stuff for my first class when Ben walked over to me.

"Hello, Mal."

I closed my locker and looked at him.

"Hello." I said.

"May I talk to you in my office?"

"Why?"

"Please, just come with me."

I sighed, but complied. I followed him into his office. Not bad looking, I have to say.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"It's okay, Mal. You're not in trouble. I just want to talk to you about your attendance." he said.

"Oh that." I said.

"You've been late quite a few times this week. Later than the allowed grace period. Is everything okay?"

Frankly, I'm quite surprised when he asked that. But he is the one who allowed my friends and I to come here. So of course he asked. The thought about my dream of Evie and I came rushing in my mind.

"Yeah. Everything is alright. I'll be more better on that. I promise." I said.

"Okay then. I just wanted to give you a warning. Now, I'll write you a pass so you can get to class." he said.

As he was doing that, I kept thinking about that home. But then I realized that Evie and I haven't even planned a future.

"Ben, what do you think the others will do in their life after they graduate?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean, well, what will they do?"

"Well, probably most of them will pursue what they study here. It's hard to tell, since our generation is a lot different from our parents. Why do you ask?"

"No reason really. Just curious. I've been thinking a lot about the future lately." I replied.

"Well good. That's a great thing to do. You keep doing that, and you'll have a great start in life."

He let me leave, and I went to my class.
