Dove's POV
Um....WOW!
Why?
My thoughts are going crazy as Mitch AKA king Ben kissed me...a lot of my friends were going crazy.
"Oh my gosh! Dovell!" Sofia screamed, making me and Mitch jump back in surprise.
I smiled.
That was fireworks.
My kisses with Ben before were sparks but now they were fireworks...maybe my destiny has changed?
I looked at Mitch who is blushing but is staring at me with a loving but confused...probably by the fireworks .
I blushed.
"You guys are so cute!" Cameron said "But stop blushing and staring at each other and say something!"
"Let's leave the lovebirds alone" China Anne said, pushing everyone literally out the academy.
"Um..." I said, bitting the bottom of my lip.
"Wow..." Mitch said "Was it a good kiss or what?"
I laughed.
"To tell the truth I've only kissed one boy in my life and that defiantly topped it off" I answered.
"Really?" Mitch said, pulling me in again.
I nod and smirked.
"Why wouldn't I?" I asked, letting my Mal out.
I looked into Ben's eyes and noticed they weren't as bright hazel green as before...they were changing into a darker brown.
I widen my eyes.
"Mitch?" I asked "Are you okay?"
He nodded.
"I'm fine,why?" He asked, pain flickering in his eye.
'Uma' I said through my magic mind link 'Ben's in pain!'
As soon as I sent it China came in the door, making Mitch turn.
I wanted to hug him but I knew I would look clingy.
"Where's the others?" I asked.
"Gone to get a solution for Ben; he's inherited 'the beast' aspect from his father" Cameron answered, looking like Carlos.
I gasped with shock.
I looked at China to see she looks like Uma.
"So I guess you're from Auradon too?" I asked, making them confused.
'Well Ben's still here you know!' I snapped in their heads.
I heard groan and collapsed into my arms.

"Mitch!" I exclaimed "Ben!"
"Ben, can you hear us?" Carlos asked the king on the floor.
"Kinda" Ben said softly "Everything sounds like it's underwater and I feel like I'm on fire"
"Shhh" I said, brushing his hair out the way "You'll be okay"
"What's happening to me?" He whispered.
"Remember what happened when you were looking for Mal at the Isle?" Carlos asked, making Uma shiver; what did he do?
'Scared and threatened the shit out of me' Uma replied in my mind, making my eyes widen.
"Yeah" Ben said.
"It might be happening again but worse" Carlos said "The others are finding FG to find if there's anything your father can suggest"
"Okay" he whispered, in pain.
"You rest okay Mitch?" I said, making him nod and sigh.

"Guys, we need to help him, I can see him like this" I said with tears in my eyes "It's breaking me"
"So much for the brave-"
"Shut up Carlos!" I snapped coldly, making him jump.
"Yikes women, clam down!" Uma said.
"Sorry!" I exclaimed as the others came in in their Auradon clothes "Let me guess, you guys are also from Auradon playing your characters in a movie?"
"Yes" Jay said "The cure is for someone he finds dear to his heart around him, FG said that the cure would take too long to get to him"
Everyone looked at me.
"Just cause I kissed him doesn't mean we mean anything!" I said "What about his lover? Wait...if the movie is based off of a true story...then where's Mal?"
"Missing" Evie answered "And probably the only one who could help us"
"Do you want me to try?" I asked "I could pretend to be Mal?"
"I can hear you you know" Ben grumbled.
"Sorry" I said as I brushed his hair on his head which is now in my lap "This is problem my fault"
"No its not"Uma said.
"No, it is" I said "I reminded him of Mal...I can't do this to him"
I carefully put his head to the ground, with tears in my eyes.
"I can't" I said, pushing through everyone to run out.
"Dove!" Carlos yelled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dove!" I heard Carlos say as I sat on Mitch's blue car "There you are!"
"I can't go back in there" I said "He is in pain because of me"
"No" Carlos said "He is in pain because YOU aren't there"
I looked at him confused.
"The first time it happened it was he was trying to find you at the Isle, you should have seen him...he was acting and looked like a villain...it was pretty scary" Carlos said "And now because your kiss might have triggered memories of you...well Mal and him together"
"Bad memories" I muttered.
"Yeah...well good memories which he misses" Carlos said "How about you can go in as Mal?"
"After what happened with the others?" I asked "They'll think I'll curse him or something"
"This might be the thing that makes them believe that you still care for Ben" Carlos said "At the moment they think you hate Ben and Evie so maybe you can try and clear things up"
"Outfit" I said,motioning to it "When they see if on me, they'll realise I'm Dove"
"Use your magic!" Carlos said.
I clicked my fingers and an old outfit appeared on me.

"Happy now?" I asked.
"Yes, now safe Ben's ass...I have a plan" Carlos said.

Third POV
"I hope Carlos can get Dove, she's the only hope" Evie said as she saw Ben now physically shaking.
"It would be a miracle if Mal came" Jay said.
"-What do you want?" Carlos yelled from outside, making everyone's but Ben's head snap outside at the closed door.
"I want to help!"
"Jay, you should watch your mouth" Uma said "Cause that's definitely Mal"
"Last time you 'helped', Harry disappeared!"
"I'm sorry about that! Not his fault he decided to pick up a flower I created...everything always relates to my mother! And Harry is fine by the way...actually, I think Amelia could be-"
"Wait, did she say Amelia?" Lonnie asked "As in daughter of Anna?"
Evie nodded.
The doors opened to see a kinder looking Mal and an annoyed Carlos.
"What?" Mal asked, not a single cold sound in her voice.
"Mal!" Evie exclaimed "Ben needs you!"
Mal's face soften when she heard Ben's name and noticed behind everyone Ben is shaking on the floor.
"Oh my goblins Ben!" Mal said and rushed to him.
Jay rose an eyebrow.
"Definitely not the attitude you had before" he said, making Mal's head snap to him.
"I wasn't in the right mind space before" Mal muttered as she looked at Ben "Ben?"
"Mal? Or is it Dove?" Ben asked, groaning.
Mal crouched down and then sat next to the not shaking Ben.
"It's Mal or is there another daughter of evil around here?" Mal teased and hugged him.
"Mal" he whispered and hugged her back.
"It's working!" Carlos whispered.
"Are you okay?" Mal asked as Mal pulled him up so they hugged sitting up.
"Felt like I'm been hit by the limo or a wall but I'm better than before" Ben said "Now that you're here"
"I can't stay here" Mal whispered "I wish I can stay but I can't"
"Why?" Ben asked, letting go of her and faced her, his eyes now back to a hazel green.
"Ben, please don't make this harder" Mal said "All I can say is trust Dove,she's a good friend of mine but she does have a secret"
"Mal, don't go please" Ben said, cupping her face. Mal closed her eyes "Please"
Mal opened her eyes and kissed Ben on the cheek.
"I need to go" she said and disappeared, leaving Ben heart broken and cupping thin air.
