Tough Love 🐉( A Short Story)

Chapter 10

At last, here we are, broadcasting live from the coronation where prince Benjamin will soon be crowned king! I'm snow white, bringing you up to the second coverage of who's the Fairest of them All," Snow said

"Oh fairy godmother is looking radiant as ever," she reported "But what is up with Jane's hair? And there's the fairy godmother's wand.

What's wrong with a bob?

"Oh and here comes Ben now!" Ben and Mal were riding in the carriage toward the chapel, Mal was holding a blue box looking nervous while Ben was completely relaxed. Ben looked over at Mal, who had her head down, and grabbed her hand offering her a smile.

oooh. Is it poisoned? Cursed. Are you going to put him to sleep for a thousand years?

You...you already know what happens.

...your point!?

"Don't be nervous," Ben said. "All you have to do is sit there and look pretty. No problem there."

"Thank you," Mal told him but looked back towards the box.

"Mal?" Would you do me the honor and wear my ring?" Ben asked, never letting go of Mal's hand.

Hades I swear if you're going to pass out do it at your place.

Mal, shocked, lets go of Ben's hand and holds it close to her. "Um...not now. It'll probably slide right off of me."

The two sat in silence for a while until Mal spoke up.

"I have something for you," Mal told him.

"For me?" Ben asked delightedly. "Yeah," Mal chuckled, giving him the blue box. "It's for later, you know when you need your strength. Some carbs to keep up your energy.

Dang. The girl did her research and everything!

"Always so thoughtful," Ben said as he looked back at the box, causing Mal to laugh. "But I can't wait," Ben said and took a bite out of the brownie.

"No!" Mal exclaimed

...*Speechless* *crickets sounds*

"Mm! This is really good" Ben told her.

"Uh, do you-"

"Mal"

"Do you feel okay?"

"You bet Ben said, giving her a small smile.

"Would you say that you're still in...have strong feelings for me?" Mal asked, stuttering over the question while Ben licked the rest of the brownie off his fingers.

Lmao, that question got me.

"I'm not sure," Ben told her as he set the box down on the carriage floor. "I mean, let's give the anti-love potion a few minutes to take effect. yeah"

"Okay," Mal said faintly before the realization hit her. "What"

Ben laughed. "What? You knew?" Mal exclaimed.

Ben reassured me that he was not mad, in fact, he was amused she was willing to go this far all because she had a crush on him and was jealous of Audrey.

Wow, you could have never been farther away from the truth.

Everything was going smoothly; they both made their way to the cathedral and Mal wished him good luck. It was perfect until Jane grabbed the Fairy godmother's wand and released Maleficent.

My Favourite Part

You got turned into a lizard

Oh. Hush you.

This was the final test if Mal passed she would be worthy of her birth name. Not that she knew. Maleficent turned into a dragon and the battle began Maleficent's eyes glowed green, as did Mal's though the only difference was that Mal was chanting. "The strength of evil is as good as none when it stands before hearts as one!"

Mother and Daughter locked eyes, each pair refusing to blink. Time froze for a second time. It was only Mal and her mother left "My little beastie, my fire, the light of my life, Maleficent Bertha Underworld/wood(hehe) you have shown me that you are worthy of your name by defeating the person stopping you to live the life you wanted, you have made mommy dearest very proud and I love you.

Wow, look at you.

Why did you stay a lizard though?

Shhh.

Then suddenly the same cloud of green that teleported Maleficent engulfed her and in her place was a lizard. Time unfroze and the fairy godmother rushed towards them.

"What just happened"

"Your mother shrunk to the size of love in her heart that's why it's so itty-bitty"

And all that love belongs to you my daughter.

Now, let's not play favorites. You know you love me

In your wildest dreams

An attendant with the bell jar lid caught Mal's eye as she exclaimed "Hey!"

"Careful that's my mother"

The End.
