Later That Even Ben made sure to keep his promise to Mal he was going to treat Mal to a date since the two hadn't been on one since forever, no plans, no paparazzi, none one but him and Mal....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Would you like a hot hors d'oeuvre?" Mal asked Ben as she held it in her hands as Ben said

"Yes, please." as she fed it to him as he chewed it and said "Mmm ! This is the best thing I've ever had."

"So, you like it ?" Mal asked him.

"I more than like it. I, uh... mmm-- so like it.." Ben said.

"Beef ragout?"

"Yeah. This is amazing."

"Did I surprise you?"

"Oh, yeah, you surprised me. This is every single dish Mrs. Potts made for my parents."

"What did it take you? Three days?" Ben asked Mal as she smiled and said

"You know, don't even ask me."

"Yeah. Well, it means a lot that you stopped and did all this for me. Especially with all the craziness you've been put through. I've missed you. We don't get much time to be just us anymore."

"I know." Mal said.

"You can't take me anywhere, right?" Mal grinned.

"Uh..."

"Do you have a-- Do you have a napkin or something?"

"I do! I packed some."

"Oh, there is-"

"I think I stowed them away. I can grab them." she told him.

"What's this?" Ben asked Mal as she saw the spell book under all of the food.

"I actually threw that in there super last-minute in case it rained or-" Mal tired to say to explain herself.

""Speed reading" spell. "Blonde hair" spell. "Cooking" spell. And I was giving you props for fitting in so well, for doing your best." Ben told Mal.

Mal grabbed the spell book as she tired to erase his memory.

"Take back this moment that has passed. Return it-- Reverse it--"

"Are you trying to spell me right now?!" Ben asked Mal.

"Ben, it has been so hard for me!" Mal yelled at Ben.

"Yes! Some things are hard! Do you think learning to be king has been easy for me?"

"No !" Mal said to him.

"I thought we were doing this together!" Ben asked Mal.

"Ben, we are in this together."

"But we're not, Mal. We're not. Y-You've been keeping secrets and lying to me. I thought we were done with that. This isn't the Isle of the Lost, Mal."

"Yeah. Believe me, I know that!" Mal told Ben.

"Then why are you doing this?" Ben asked her.

"Because... I'm not one of those pretty pink princesses, Ben. I'm not one of those ladies from the Court. I'm a big fake, okay? I'm fake. This is fake. This is fake. Take this feast, this sumptuous meal, return it back to what is real. This is who I really am." as all the food returned back to normal.

"Mal." Ben said.

"No.No." Mal told him as she stormed off as Ben grabbed the sandwich and said "Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite!"

{Madison}

I came back inside me, Evie and Mal dorm with tears flooded my eyes as I saw my old Isle outfit as I gave a serious looked as I put it back on.

I couldn't take Auradon anymore. It wasn't really my home. I needed to return home. My real home.

"I don't belong here." I said to myself tears in my eyes as I saw my mother in her tank as I grabbed her as I said "Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's blow this popsicle stand. Yeah?" as I grabbed a box and poked holes into a box and placed her in there carefully.

I grabbed my bag along with the spell book {which Mal dropped off after her date with Ben} and left.

I couldn't believe I was doing this. I was going back to the Isle after many months.

I stole Mal's motorcycle as I took in a breathe as I flipped through the spell book as I looked up and said " Noble steed, proud and fair, you shall take me anywhere. "

I put the book away as I sniffled as I sighed as I put my goggles on as I mutter "Okay. Whew. Please work."

I started the motorcycle as I magically was now riding on the waves with green magic behind me.

I turned back to Auradon as I sighed as I turned back to the Isle as I said to myself "Hello Isle."

I went through the barrier as I was now back in Isle.

I rode passed people as I stopped and saw a poster of me and Mal in Auradon with fancy dresses on as I sighed as I grabbed the poster and crumbled it.

I started the motorcycle again as I drove towards me and the others hangout.

I felt so much more alive. I felt at home.

I parked Mal's motorcycle as I smiled as I walked towards our hangout.

I turned back to the hangout as I saw a pile of rocks as I threw it at the sign that read "DANGER FLYING ROCKS." in bold words.

I threw rocks at it trigger the door to come open as I smiled as I walked up the stairs...

{Back in Auradon}

Ben was sitting in his office as he was doing his kingly busy.

"Deborah?" he said on the phone as the young women answer "Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Can you ask Lumiere to call me regarding Cotillion?"

"Yes, sir." Deborah said to him

"Thank you." he said hanging up the phone.

Their was a knock on the door as Evie open the door as she said "Ben?"

"Evie ! Come on in" as Evie walked in and closed the door and got straight to the point.

Ben got up from his seat as Evie sighed and said "Madison gone back to Isle."

Ben smile faded as Evie walked over as she handed Ben the heart shaped letter as she sighed and said "Ben."

She handed him back the ring he gave her as Ben sighed and said "This is my fault. This is my fault." as he put the ring in his pocket.

"I-I blew it. She'd been under so much pressure lately, and instead of being understanding, I just went all Beast on her. I have to go there and apologize. I have to go there and--and beg her to come back."

"Ben, you'll never find her." Evie told him.

"I-"

"You need to know how the Isle and how it works and...you have to take me with you" Evie told him.

"Yes ! Uh are you sure ?" Ben asked her.

"Yeah. She is my best friend and we'll bring the boys too, because there's safety in numbers, and none of us is really too popular over there right now." Evie told him.

"Thank you !" Ben told her as Evie added

"But let's get two things straight. You have to promise me that I won't get stuck there again." as he nodded and said "I promise."

Evie smiled and said "And there's no way you're going looking like that....."
