*The Core Four thanks Cord905loverStuff for the question

(The camera turns on, showing the Core Four sitting on Evie's couch. Ben is also there and is sitting next to Mal)

Evie: Hey everyone! We're so sorry that we haven't done these in a while, but- Life gets busy!

Mal: From exhaustion and just plain work, we haven't been able to make these videos. But we finally have a break to see each other! "Queenly duties" takes a lot out of a girl, ya know?

Carlos: And high school exams...

Jay: *staring into space* And college exams...

Evie: So we're back and doing well! Now let's get to our question!

Carlos: Today's question is for Ben-

Jay: *plays an imaginary trumpet as if introducing the king. Mal and Evie join, followed by Carlos*

Ben: *laughing* Guys... Please...

Carlos: *after they stop* Okay, so the question is: Ben how do you feel about Hades and Maleficent being part of your family now?

Ben: *hesitates and glances nervously at Mal, who grins widely at the question*

Ben: I'm going to be completely honest, at first they... terrified me-

Jay: Ben, c'mon, we all know they still terrify you.

Ben: But... I don't know. They're interesting to talk to. And it's fun to see what characteristics Mal inherited.

Mal: Aww

Ben: *squeezing Mal's hand* I've always wanted a big family, and Mal kinda gave that to me, whether that family is related to her or not.

Carlos: Found family is the best family!

Ben: And I think we've been getting along pretty well!

Mal: My mom thinks you're suspiciously nice and my dad keeps plotting secret ways to get rid of you if you ever hurt me, but otherwise they say you're tolerable.

Ben: Progress! They haven't even given me a death glare in a while!

Mal: And they still hate your parents.

Ben: *sighing* Yeah, they... yeah.

Evie: Are you still kinda excited to have them in your family? I mean, if they ever warm up to you, and I believe they will, you'll have the coolest in-laws on your side in any battle.

Ben: *nodding* Absolutely! And one day I'll be brave enough to ask for baby pictures of Mal!

Mal: Uh...

Jay: What, are you going to ask Hades to play catch next, for father-son bonding.

Ben: *glances down at a list* Well-

Mal: *playfully nudging Ben* Small steps at a time, okay?

Ben: Yeah, you're right. I'll ask for the baby pictures first.

Mal: ...that's not what-

Evie: Oh, Doug's back with the kids! That's all the time we have for today! Bye everyone, and thank you for your questions!
