"Hey Ben, you okay?" I asked.

Ben looked at me like I was crazy. "You didn't call me Benny Boo."

"I finally accepted that Mal won you fair and square and that I shouldn't call you Benny Boo anymore." I explained.

"Mal doesn't really care. She likes that we can play nice even though we're ex's. Just don't call me Little Benny Foo Foo or Benny Bear. Mal already called those."

"Okay. Are you worried?" I asked.

"Very. I mean, I know that she's good, but seeing her do that just made me scared that once she gets these new powers that she'll forget about me."

"Wait!" I said. I looked in the book case because I just thought of something.

"What?" Ben asked.

"I remember this story that my mom told me when I was little. I have a feeling that we're living that story right now." I said.

"What story?" Ben asked.

"It's about this girl who's mother is the queen of darkness. But it's not about the queen, it's about her daughter. When the queen of darkness's daughter was born, some of the subjects gave her gifts, but not evil gifts because she was born into the light. She was given the power to heal, teleport, fly, move objects, see into someone's mind, see into the future, even some control over the weather. She was said to be more beautiful than my mother, kinder than Cinderella, a better swimmer than Ariel, more of a fighter than Mulan, could control water better than her father, and smarter than your mother. But because her mother was the queen of darkness, she was more cunning than Scar, more skilled at magic than the Shadow Man, and can out steal Jafar. The queen was furious because her daughter was good, so she cursed her daughter with dark magic. When the girl became 16, she went back to the light side, defeated her mother, and became good. But the queen will rise again, and only her daughter can defeat her. I've heard this story a thousand times, but now I think that Mal is the princess of light, what she's called at the end of the story."

"What makes you think that?" Ben asked.

"Because of how the princess is described. Hair more golden than the sun, lips redder than a cherry, eyes darker than emeralds."

"You're right, that is describing Mal. But how do we know that her mother is the queen of darkness?"

We both thought for a minute. "EVIE!"

Evie walked in. "Yeah?"

"Were there any rulers on the Isle?" I asked.

Evie looked at us. "Why?"

"Evie, please answer the question." Ben asked.

"Okay, right up until your coronation Maleficent was the queen of the Isle, which made Mal"

"The princess. Audrey, you're right! Should we keep this a secret, or tell Mal?" Ben asked.

"Let's wait a while. Until she unlocks all of her powers, not the villain one though. Deal?"

"I don't like lying to her, but deal."
