We Belong - a Descendants story (Bal)

Chapter 8

3th POV

"So, how's Arendelle so far?" Mal asked Ben over the phone.

"Been kinda fun, actually," Ben said. "If we ever decide we wanna move, Arendelle is definitely a good option."

"Did you meet Olaf?" she asked.

"Of course, he doesn't often leave Anna's side," he told her. "He also asked when he would meet you."

"Ahw, really?" she asked.

"Yeah, he wants to see your purple hair. Apparently he wouldn't shut up about it ever since he first saw you on tv," he said.

"He's so adorable," she said. "Wish I could've gone with you."

"Next time you're coming with me," he told her.

"Deal," Mal said.

"And how's it back there in Auradon? Anything exciting happening?" Ben asked.

"No, no, just- hanging out. Nothing going on here, nothing planned or anything," she lied.

"Well, I hope you're still enjoying your time," he said.

"I am, I am," she said.

"I have a meeting in five minutes so I gotta go, but I'll call you again soon, alright?" he said.

"Alright, have fun," she said and hung up.

Evie walked out of the bathroom. 'Do you have everything?'

'Yeah, I'm all ready to go,' Mal said.

'We still got it guys,' Jay said, jumping off a wall.

They had been running around the Isle, jumping from roof to roof, just like they used to do back in the day.

Mal got some drinks from the fridge and handed them out.

'I'm starving now, though,' Evie said.

'It's already 7.30, so I guess we should make dinner,' Carlos said.

'What do we want?' Evie asked. 'We can make pasta, or burritos, or uh pmv-'

'What?' Jay asked confused. 'Pmv?'

'Yeah, potato meat and veggies,' Evie said. 'Pmv.'

'Since when is that a thing?' he asked.

'Since forever,' Evie said.

'Mrs Potts uses it too,' Mal told Jay.

'And in the cafeteria they also use that term,' Carlos added.

'How come I've never heard that before?' Jay wondered.

'That's a very good question,' Evie said. 'But now back to the question of the day, what do we want?'

'Pasta sounds good,' Mal said.

Evie looked at the other two, who then nodded in agreement.

'Pasta it is,' Evie said.

Ben was done with his tasks for that day and went back to his room in the castle.

When he was gone on business trips he'd call Mal everyday to check in and talk for a little bit, but when he called her that day she didn't pick up.

Not that it was that weird, she was probably just busy doing something else, so he decided to try again after dinner.
