'How can I be so stupid?!' Mal thought as she joined her friends on the walk to Auradon Prep. She huffed in frustration as she just found out that Ben was Beau's roommate this whole time and didn't even tell her. Mal turned to Evie and asked if she knew about Beau's lodgings with Ben, to which she replied that she did because of Doug. Mal huffed in frustration and grunted at her friend's secrecy and what happened at the gardens a few moments ago, 'you know what I don't care anymore' she thought angrily, 'I don't care if he got found out, and I don't care if his brother was that beastly prince even if he has a cute face or gorgeous -' she then stopped at her mental rant as she realized what she just thought and quickly scolding herself mentally saying "villains don't fall in love"

But as she said those words mentally she suddenly felt hurt as couldn't understand this new feeling she had welling up inside, she felt it before with someone a long time ago but this was more intense, more powerful, more joyful, so joyful in the fact that it hurts so much even thinking of the words she said in her mind but she chose to shrug it off as she wants to focus on her quest which was to get the wand.

But shrugging those feelings did not help as she lay down on her bed and began to dream. As the Dream began she saw herself in a lush green meadow with crystal blue skies, a few trees engulfed with the warm heat of the sun's rays. It was beautiful that it was like paradise as she walked on the luscious green meadow ornamented with tiny flowers, she felt carefree and solemn in that quiet meadow as her mother's words faded and it was just hers she loved it, and every second of it with her ankle-length white dress. But then she stopped as she saw him... Ben with his alluring hazel green eyes, his cute smile, and handsome face, clothed in white and dark pants standing there a few feet away from her but slowly walking towards her. She froze, she was so captivated by him that she froze in her place she felt her heart start to race as he got closer to her until he was towering over her.

Their eyes met and drowned in them, while Ben reached her cheek with his strong and soft hands and hers in his it felt electric to the touch it felt warm, it felt... right. As their foreheads touched they never dared to look away from each other and Ben began to call her name, "Mal" her name rang in her ears with Ben's soft voice. Then... he began to slowly close the distance between them as his exhaling breath touched her skin it sent chills through her spine making her breathing slow as she hears her heart pounding and everything is mute as he was now inches away from her lips. She did not know what to do but obey her heart as she closed her eyes as their lips were meters away readying herself for what to come. From the silence of the atmosphere, she felt a voice calling her name. That voice was growing louder and louder calling her, "al... Mal... MAL!" after that shouting calls her dream quickly fades as she opened her eyes and gasped as her heart was beating a million times faster than before. Her cheeks were adorned by a tint of red, as she catches her breath she gulped and began to normalize her heartbeat.

When her heart was calmed, she looked around to see no one except Evie sleeping in her bed. She looked at her clock to check the time "3:30 am" she slumped back into her bed and tried to sleep again but when she did she saw Ben's face smiling at her with the meadow on his back which made her jump out of bed, she thought about the dream again which only made Ben pop on her head which made her grunt in frustration. She stared at her ceiling asking herself 'what's going on with me' repeatedly till it was 6 in the morning.

As she began to tire and went back to sleep she suddenly woke up by their alarm clock which made her jump and howl in frustration and began to curse which woke Evie up from her beauty sleep, "M-Mal what's with all your cursing it early I need my beauty sleep?!" Evie asked grudgingly, "Nothing Eve go back to sleep" Evie accepted the answer as she rolled her eyes asleep. Mal sighed in relief as she completely covered up her cursing and decided to just sketch in her notebook the whole morning.

Beast Castle

As the sun looms over the orange and purple hue sky, its bright yellow rays replace it with a bright blue hue signaling a new day and a new beginning to those who wake under its magnificent sky.

And as its rays touch everywhere past the green sea of meadows and forest, to the stoned yet magnificent walls of the palace. Outside the curtains of the house's rooms, houses a new and bright day ahead. And on the curtained window of the castle is where the 2 unsuspecting, and undiscovered brothers were held.

The bedroom was dark, and quiet with only the snores of the unknown brothers heard. Until the door creaked open and the figure moved to the curtained window and opened it allowing the morning sun's rays to envelop the whole room making Ben stir half-awake from his peaceful sleep, "Rise and shine! your majesty!" the voice roared as it opened up the room's curtains, "ugh... Lumiere please 5 mins" Ben pleaded grudgingly as he covered his head with the blanket he was on, but that did not last long as Lumiere took off his blanket immediately, "Pas possible Ben, your parents are expecting you at the gardens at 9 am and its already 8:30," the new voice said as it came into the room. Ben groaned as he knew whose voice he just heard and slumped back in his bed "Cogsworth I'm sure mom and dad can wait for at least 20 more minutes for breakfast after what happened yesterday."

Cogsworth and Lumiere looked at each other as if they were like having a silent conversation on what to do about the matter at hand until they decided upon a conclusion which led to getting Ben out of bed; after their silent conversation they finally faced him and crossed their arms and as stern as they could be they said no, to which in return made Ben groan even louder.

"Hey! Keep it down I'm trying to sleep!" Lumiere and Cogsworth's stern persona softened as they heard the new voice booming around the room. They looked to see the source of the new voice and saw a child not more than 9 or 10 they supposed, on the bed where their missing prince would be if he was older. They stared and stared at the boy who had just irritatingly woke up and saw his features which were a perfect blend of the King and the Queen from the long brown almond-like hair, to the blue-colored eyes that had specs of brown hazel in them. They were simply in awe as it reminded them of the missing baby prince.

"Mr. Cogsworth, Mr. Lumiere I hope you don't mind he was asleep when the party was over so I took him to the bed to sleep, he's actually my roommate Beau LeGume" and with that Cogsworth and Lumiere broke off from their stares as they came back into reality and process Ben's claims, which was very quick as Lumiere was delighted to have the young LeGume boy at the castle saying "comme c'est délicieux! Welcome to the palace young LeGume!" while Cogsworth huffed and sighed as he would be going down to inform the help about their new guest at the weekend. As the both of them left the room Ben and Beau happily slumped back into their beds as they thought that the two men forgot what they were there for but were short-lived by Lumiere saying "don't think I forgot about you two young Monsieur get up or Cogsworth and I would get Mrs. Potts to wake you both up!"

Not wanting an angry old maid coming at them they got up from their beds and prepared for breakfast. A few moments later Ben and Beau got down to the gardens and joined the King and Queen for breakfast which shocked the King and Queen for Beau to be there but quickly dissolved as they were eating. As breakfast went on, Beau dirtied his face with syrup, crumbs, and also whipped cream from the delicious pancakes and pastries he just devoured, well who can't simply stop themselves from eating this delicious food, not to mention that it was made by the castle cooks. 

Belle noticed his messy face and smiled as the boy stuffed his mouth and cheeks with food; she grabbed her napkin and offered to clean his face, which he reluctantly agreed to. As Belle wiped his face clean Ben and Adam just stared as if they were seeing something that should've been and was supposed to be all those years ago. They did not know why but it felt like a missing piece of the puzzle was found in their lives, and in that little moment, it felt so... complete.
