"After I walked away from Mal, I felt as if that was the biggest mistake of my life. I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the tour. After that, I practically spent more time with my father rather than with my books. When me and Audrey we in the lounge later that day, she brought up what was really on my mind,"

Ben sat at a table in the first class lounge, staring off into space. On the other side of the table was Audrey sipping her tea. With his father in the smoking room, Chad spending some time out on the deck, and Jane helping her mother with work, the soon-to-be-married couple were alone for once.

It was silent between the two. No one said a word until Audrey spoke up. "She really wanted you to understand,"

He hesitated for a moment before replying, "We all have plans in life."

"Life doesn't always go as planned. Whatever happens, happens for a reason."

Ben sighed and looked around the room. He noticed a mother and daughter. The other was showing her daughter how to drink tea like a proper lady. It looked almost unnatural, almost machine-like.

"She thought you would understand her situation," Audrey continued. "She thought you would be different,"

"I am," The young woman was caught a bit off guard. Ben stood up from his seat and walked to the door that led to the stairs. Audrey followed him, sensing that he really has shown some change.

"After I went back to my place on the ship, I was busy in my drawing sketchbook."

Mal was in the general room, trying to forget everything about the past few days. Evie sat beside her at the table, sad that her friend was ignoring the outside world. Jay and Carlos sat across from them playing cards while Lonnie and Doug sat quietly at their seats.

"You okay?" Evie asked again.

Mal looked up and replied "I'm fine,"

"You know you're drawing Ben from memory right?" Jay said.

Mal looked down at her drawing. It wasn't finished but she realized that she really was drawing him. She turned her page to a blank sheet and started doodling again.

"You were right, Lonnie," The blonde woman muttered. "I should have just forgotten about them,"

The Chinese woman was about to object but saw four familiar faces. The general room became quiet for a moment, before resuming back to its loud chatter. The rest of the table, except Mal, looked to see Ben, Audrey, Chad, and Jane coming to them.

Mal, who didn't bother to look behind her and continued to talk. "I mean, he and I are nothing alike."

Evie tried to cut in but her friend kept on rambling. "He is like the perfect prince in some fairy tale, and I'm just some peasant. He could come down those stairs again, and I would not care."

"I was so focused on what I was saying, which was one of me and Ben, I didn't notice someone approach me."

"Mal," Evie practically yelled while pointing behind her. Mal turned, seeing Ben

"Hi," He greeted with a smile.

"Ben, we have nothing to talk about," Mal told him, turning away from him again. She began to put away her stuff. She stood up and was about to walk away. Ben quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"I want to apologize," He quickly said. She turned around, while he continued. "I want to show you something. If you don't want to see me again after, we'll forget that we ever saw each other,"

Mal thought about it for a moment and nodded. Ben led her out of the room, while Mal looked back at her friends, who were talking to the higher-class passenger.

*****************************

"I wasn't sure where Ben was taking me, but the destination was one of the most beautiful experiences I ever witnessed."

They soon made it to the bow of the ship, one of Mal's favorite spots. It was dusk, the light in the sky appearing like fire. Ben led Mal to the very front railing. He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the wind push back his messy hair.

"I changed my mind," He finally said. Mal smiled.

"I'm sorry-" She started, but was cut off by Ben.

"Shh," He hushed. "Close your eyes,"

Mal did. She felt him pull her closer to the railing. Ben instructed her to step on the railing, with him standing right behind her. He takes

"Do you trust me?" He asked

"Yes," Mal replied confidently.

Ben takes her two hands, slightly feeling her hesitation, and stretched them out. Mal went along with it, feeling him let go. She felt the breeze blow against her hair and arms.

"Open them," She heard Ben whisper.

Mal did and gasped at what she saw. Nothing else was in her vision but the ocean water. It was like they were soaring through the sky like free birds.

"I'm flying," she exclaimed.

Mal and Ben were flying together. Their hands intertwined with each other before bringing them to their bodies. Mal turned to Ben, their eyes making contact. They both leaned in and kissed.

They forgot about their controlling parents, their past, and their troubles. Nothing was on their mind other than each other.

Ben pulled back and stepped off the railing. He helped Mal off. They felt a strong force of optimism. They could be soaring onward together and into the night, without fear.

Author's Note-- Hello my fellow readers! 

I hope you all are enjoying the book, even though it may be just a copy of the movie. We are now heading to the halfway point of the movie/book.

The next part I believe most of you are familiar with if you all have seen the movie, but I plan on changing it up since I don't how old the reader is.

In other news, I plan on making somewhat of a short story. Yes, I know I already have like three other unfinished books, but I can't get it off my mind. This also is not Disney related, but instead a brief backstory of one of my favorite childhood franchises, Monster High. 

It will mostly revolve around the hybrids monster in the film Freaky Fusions.  I am still organizing my ideas but I plan on publishing it full instead of chapter by chapter. 

The full movie is available on Youtube by the username Columbia Williams.

 In case you don't know what franchise is, it's basically the sons and daughter of famous monsters going to a high school called Monster High. 

Their stories are told through a web-series and films, as well as through diaries included with the dolls. The characters are generally the sons and daughters or related to monsters that have been popularized in fiction.

The franchise got rebooted 2015, creating a new origin story to Monster High. The 2 of the movies are available on Youtube with no odd audio/visuals. 

!!!Thanks for Reading!!!
