(Cringe! I wrote this when i was 12-13)
Mal's POV Ben and I were getting ready for the ball. I don't know why they need one every night. I opened my closet and screamed. "What the hell happened to my dress?!!" I exclaimed. "Beth did it! Ben I can't stand it anymore!" I added. "Relax... I know she did it. Just calm yourself down. We'll be fine" Ben said rubbing my back. Belle and Adam came into the room. "What happened?!" Belle asked. "My dress!" I said and took it out of the closet. It was all ripped and cut. She gasped. "Let me guess, Beth?" Adam said. I nodded. Ben was rubbing my back. I used my magic to fix it and make it better. Belle and Adam went to get ready. I fixed my dress and I put it on. It looks nicer like this. Is was a certain material that was kind of see through with another layer underneath that. It was shorter in the front and longer in the back. It was nice and flowy.

I put on some gold heels and curled my hair a bit. I waited for Ben. "Ready?" I asked. "Yup. But wait" he said and grabbed my hand. "What's wrong?" I asked. "What ever happens tonight won't break us apart okay? Well if something happens. I know there will be" he said. I nodded and kissed him. "I love you" I said. "I love you too" he replied. I held his arm tightly. We went downstairs and walked into the ballroom. "Why is everyone staring?" I whispered. "Probably because how gorgeous you look" he whispered. I blushed and we sat down at a table with Belle and Adam. Beth was staring at me with her friends. I thought of a spell that can make me hear what she's saying. "Girls! She fixed the dress! The plan was to make her not come so I can impress my Benny!" She said angrily. I laughed silently. "What's so funny?" Ben asked. "Beth ruined my dress so I wouldn't show up for her to try and impress you" I replied. He put his arm around my shoulder and kissed my head. "You look like a goddess. No joke" Ben whispered. I laughed. "Thanks handsome" I replied and kissed his cheek. Beth came up to us with her friends. "Hi Mal I love your dress" she said faking at being nice. "Aw thanks I like yours too" I replied faking as well. "Well I just wanted to introduce Benny to someone. Since Mal apparently you already know him" she said. Oh no, I do. I was hoping to not see him. Dammit! Ben looked at me. He's going to get mad that I never told him. "Please don't get mad. I honestly forgot" I whispered to him. "Oh Liam! Why don't you come say hi" Beth said. Liam turned around and looked at us. "Mal? What are you doing here?!" He said and hugged me. "Hey Liam...." I replied awkwardly. I looked at Ben and he looked angry. Liam was going in to kiss me but I cut him off. "I would like you to meet my husband. Ben" I said quickly. "Husband?" He said laughing. "Yes. I'm her husband" Ben said. I looked at him and he didn't even look at me. "Great a 3rd one" he mumbled. I took my phone off the table and started walking towards the door. "Where are you going?" Liam asked. "T–to go check to see if my kids are sleeping. They should be in bed" I said. "I'll come too" Ben said angrily and followed me. We got just outside of the ballroom. "Who the hell is he?!" Ben asked. "He's my ex that was on the isle. I'm guessing Arendelle took him out and I was hoping not to see him here. I totally forgot to tell you. I'm sorry" I said. "Its ok but you know that she's going to use him to break us up, right?" He said. "Yeah I know" I replied and hugged him. We stayed in that position for a few more seconds. "I love you" he said. "I love you too" I replied and he kissed my head. We walked back in, hand in hand. We sat back down. "So Mal, you have kids?" Liam asked. Ben put his arm around my shoulder. "Yes 2 of them. And a 3rd is on the way" I said touching my belly and I looked at Ben. He smiled. "So you're Queen? Since Ben's the King" he asked. "Yes" I replied smiling. He laughed. "They actually let you be Queen?" He said laughing. "Can we not talk about this here" I said. This little girl came up to me. "Are you the actual Dove Cameron?!" She said. "Yes I am" I replied and laughed. I hugged her. "Sorry about that. She's a really big fan of Liv and Maddie" Elsa said. I'm guessing that was her daughter. I picked her up and she sat on my lap. She was about 4-5 years old. She giggled. "So, who's your favorite out of Liv and Maddie?" I asked her. "Laddie" she said and I laughed. "Yes! I so agree" I said and high fived her. She hugged me and for down. She went to Elsa. She was so cute. "I can't wait until Bella and Jake get to that age" I told Ben. "I know me too" he replied and kissed my cheek. Liam and Beth left. I started talking with Belle and Ben started talking with his dad. 1 hourlater... The DJ came on stage. "Hello everybody!" He said and everyone cheered. "Its karaoke night. You may challenge someone or sign up to sing any song you want" he said. I saw Beth go up to him. Great. "Looks like we have our first challenge of the night!" He said. "Who do you challenge Beth?" The DJ asked and handed the mic to Beth. "Mal" she replied. "I'm singing first" she said. I looked at Ben. Great. "You're better than her" Ben whispered in my ear. "Which song do I sing?" I asked him. "If Only" he replied. I smiled. Beth started singing a song. She was basically trying to seduce Ben. She finished and the whole place was cheering and clapping for her. I kissed Ben and grabbed the mic out of her hand. "Top that" she said. "Don't worry I will" I replied and smirked. I gave the DJ my phone to hook up because he doesn't have my song. The song started playing. I sang the best that I can. I think that Beth forgot that I'm a celebrity who has a really good voice. "If only..." I finished. I smiled and waved while everyone was clapping and cheering. It was way louder than Beth's. "Its not over yet" Beth said shoving me aside. "Ok who votes for Beth?" The DJ asked. Only Liam and her friends were clapping. The rest was dead silent. I smiled. "Who votes for Mal?" The DJ asked. The whole ballroom erupted with cheers. "Mal wins!" He said and raised up my arm. I ran to Ben and he hugged me. "Told you. You're way better than her" he whispered and kissed me. We sat down and everyone seemed to calm down. A few minutes later the DJ started talking. "Looks like we have our second challenge. Liam, who do you challenge?" The DJ said. "King Ben" he said and looked at Ben. Beth came over to us. "Liam is going to win. Ben has never sung, be prepared to humiliate yourself" she said and smirked. "I wouldn't bet on that. Ben sang for me" I said and smiled. She walked away in anger. I chuckled. We watched Liam sing. It was Ben's turn. He went on stage. "Mal do you have the song?" He asked me through the mic. I nodded. I gave my phone to the DJ. I put the video on. He hooked it up. "Aw Mal" he whined. "Sorry" I replied giggling and kissed his cheek. "Beat that. I bet you haven't even sang in your whole entire life" Liam said. "Watch" he said. I smiled. I sat down. He winked at me "uno, dos, tres, cuatro!" He started singing. I got up with the rest of the crowd and clapped to the music. "Did I mention, that I'm in love with you. And did I mention there's nothing I can do. And did I happen to say I dream of you everyday. So let me" he stopped and let the audience say "SHOUT IT OUT LOUD" "and that's okay. Hey! And that's okay. I met this girl who rocked my world like its never been rocked" he said and jumped off stage. "And now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop. I never thought that it can happen to a guy like me" he said and continued singing. "But now look at what you've done, you got me down on my knees" he said and got down on his knees in front of me and kissed my belly. I giggled and blushed. "Because my love for you, is ridiculous! I never knew" "WHO KNEW!" "That it can be like this. My love for you is ridiculous. My love is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!" "R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!" "its" "ridiculous! "Just" "ridiculous! "And I would give my kingdom for just one kiss. And did I mention that I'm in love with you...." He sang. A few minutes later he finished. Ben obviously won and he came to hug me. Beth and Liam, with their parents, sat at our table. "Baby" I whined. "Yes angel" he said putting his arm around me. "I'm tired" I said and rested my head on his shoulder. "Me too angel" he replied and kissed my head. "Wanna go?" He asked. "Would be best" I whispered. "Probably would be" he whispered back and winked. I laughed. He grabbed my hand and intertwined it. We got up. "We're going. See you tomorrow" Ben said. "Goodnight" he added. "Night Benny" Beth said sweetly. I rolled my eyes. We walked out of the ballroom and into our room. I took my dress off and I was looking for my PJs. I was basically searching everywhere in my bra and underwear. "You looking for these?" Ben asked and showed me my PJs. "Ben give me my clothes" I complained. He put his hands on my waist and kissed me passionately. I tried reaching for my clothes but he threw them in the floor in back of him. He slid my bra straps down. He kissed my shoulder and went towards my neck. He kissed my bone softly and attacked my neck. "No hickeys please" I said. Someone knocked at my door. Ben took my clothes off the floor and went to the door. He still didn't give them back to me. "Hey, um Mal forgot her lipstick" Beth said. "Benny give me my clothes. I need them" I yelled so him and Beth can hear me. "No not yet" he said looking back at me and winked. I could picture it in my mind that she was angry. "Thanks I'll give this to her" Ben replied and shut the door. "Can I have my clothes now?" I asked. "That was an excuse to come and see what we're doing" I added. "Nope not yet" he replied. He nodded. "Fine then I'm going to bed. Goodnight" I said and got in bed. "Really? Yay! That's what I was hoping will happen" he said and changed. He still had my clothes in his hands though. He got in bed next to me and wrapped his arms around my bare body. I turned around to face him. I kissed him repeatedly. He French kissed me. "Awe Ben" I complained. (DoyouknowwhatFrenchkissingis?😂) "goodnight angel" he said. "Goodnight" I replied and turned around. He pressed his body against mine. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day...
