Learning to have peace

Chapter one

When the light faded, Mal find that she was at the edge of the cliff on her scooter just like she was before she was transferred to the showing...

Well except for her hair which is still purple.

She guesses everyone did as she remembered what her gentle aunt said before they all left the showing.

She looked over at her shoulder to looked over at Auradon, one part of her wants to go back to the Isle. No responsibilities, no pretending to be this perfect princess, no rule following.

Plus she actually misses her siblings and Steph even though there will be here next week.

But she would also miss her friends, no Jay, No Carlos, No Evie, No Lonnie, No Jane, No Doug, no any of her friends and no Ben.

Also Uma would be on the Isle and there was no way she ever wanted to put Ben, her friends and Auradon in danger; it was just a little fight, one little fight with Ben and she was just ready to throw it all away?

Uma, she thought with a growled, no she wouldn't give Uma have the satisfying to the showing became real.

With the kick of her feet she put the kickstand and got off the scooter and was about to moved it when she stopped in her tracks when she heard a familiar voice.

"Mal?"

Mal looked up, shock cloud her mind because that sounded a lot like Ben's.

No, that can't possibly be Ben? This close to the Isle! He wouldn't do that.

Are you sure about? This is the same boy who without hesitation went to the Isle even though it was dangerous.

Yeah but that was in the showing he wouldn't...

Yes he would.

"Ben!" The familiar voice said again and it caused Mal to turned her head as she came out of her shock.

She immediately rolled her eyes when she saw Ben thought count as Isle gear; a Tourney Jersey and one of his jackets and a blue beanie borrow by Jay because she recognize that Beanie as Jay is her oldest friend so of course she would notice it.

"Ben, a tourney jersey and a regular jacket does not count as Isle garb." Mal said dryly, rolling her eyes again.

"Sorry but Evie said that she needs to back a new Isle outfit, it turns out having the beast crest wasn't a good after but she also is keeping the original one just in case." Ben said walking away from his blue scooter and walked toward her. "I...I just didn't know if you still wanted to go to the Isle, and I needed to be ready just in case to follow you."

"Follow me?" Mal asked shocked. "After what we saw?"

"Mal even after what we show I would still follow you, I love you." Ben said as he stopped in front of her. "And I'm not just saying because of what that showing showed us, I'm saying it, because I'm listening to my heart."

Mal smiled at that, about that fact that the showing showed them that they are true love.

"We still need to talk about that Ben." Mal said.

"We can talked about it whenever you want, there is no rush." Ben said gently as he also gently bushed a string of hair behind her ear. "Have I mention that I love that the isle gear is back."

Mal hid a shock because she almost thought that he would say that he's in love with her.

"Wait, didn't you notice it earlier. I was wearing it throughout the showing." Mal said giving him a puzzled look.

"Of course I noticed it, I just didn't want to say anything in fear that your dad or siblings would turned me into ashes."

"My father wouldn't do that and my siblings know better than to do that." Mal said as she rolled her eyes softly at him. "Now Persephone on the other hand..."

"Thar doesn't exactly make me feel better."

"Just messing with you!" Mal said with a smirk.

"Yeah I also deserve that." Ben said.

"Yep!" Mal said patting him on the shoulder. "We should heard back before Akiho and Emir panic and start a riot to find you."

"Well I would rather stay here but at the moment when the riot makes me sure to what to go." Ben said with a little chuckle which caused Mal to also chuckle as their both placed their scooters to Auradon and place side to side. "Shall we race?"

"Mr. Golden Boy actually suggesting a race." Mal said.

"What don't think that you can beat me?" Ben asked with a smirk.

"Oh you are so on, wait just one second." Mal said with a chuckle, before Ben could even say asked Mal immediately turned on the scooter and drove.

"Hey that's unfair." Ben said in an exclaimed as he too started the scooter and chased her.

"I'm a Vk Bennyboo that's what we do." Mal shot back at him and the two raced to Auradon Prep.

"Hey do you mind coming to my office." Ben asked after he and Mal packed their scooters and took off their helmets. "I have some gifts to give you."

"Ben you already gave me the scooter and you are working on the glass art." Mal said.

"I promised it's small, come on." Ben said gently as he also gently take her and the couple made their way to his office.

Mal watched as Ben walked over to his desk and opened one of the bottom drawers.

"I was going to give them to you after Cotillon since we've been so busy." Ben said as he grabbed the three items and closed the drawer with his free hand and walked over to Mal.

Mal looked at the three items in his hand, a sketchbook, a book all about art and its history and a box of color pencils with every color.

"I grabbed those when we were in Agrahab, Queen Rapunzel actually suggested I should get more colors so you don't have to worry about searching for more colors when I called her." Ben said.

Mal looked at them, shocked as she realized once again that Ben sees the real her and loves her.

And the fact that he called Queen Rapunzel for advice on art since he doesn't know much about it.

"Ben, thank you." Mal said giving him a smile before the two shared a hug and yes she knows that she's supposed to be meeting Natalie in a few minutes but honestly...

That woman can wait until tomorrow because honestly she doesn't care nor can even pretend to care.

Besides she can just locked the dorm and ask Evie to locked the door and pretend they're not there.

She knows she nor the boys wouldn't tell that woman where she was or any of her friends now that she thinks about it.

Especially after the showing...

"Glad you like them Mal." Ben said with a smile and the two shared a kiss.

This time with no interruptions from the press, the adults or even their friends.
