Mal's POV.

After receiving a text from Ben asking me to meet him at Castle Beast for an impromptu date I had quickly gotten ready and headed over. I had just arrived at the Castle and was so excited to finally spend some time with my boyfriend. Between our senior year exams, Ben's royal duties and me helping Evie with her designs she was making for our friends to wear at the party on our last day of Auradon Prep, we had barely seen each other. Even though I had been with Ben for almost two years as I reached the large doors I still knocked. What shocked me was when Belle answered the door, that had never happened in all the time I had been coming to the Castle.

"Hi Mal." Belle greeted me, immediately pulling me into a hug. "Ben's waiting for you in the library." She told me. Strange. I thought to myself. Ben never meets me in the library. But I shrugged it off. I was far to excited to actually spend time with Ben to question it. Nodding to Belle I smiled before rushing off to the library.

I got there seconds later and found the door strangely open. Stepping inside my eyes immediately scanned for Ben, the smile slipping from my face when I noticed Ben wasn't there. I couldn't help but let out a defeated sigh as I walked a little further into the room. That was when I noticed the purple envelope resting against one of Belle's photo frames. As if the colour wasn't enough for me to know the envelope was mine as I walked over to it I noticed it was resting against the first photo ever taken of me and Ben, at his coronation after party.

As I opened the envelope and slipped out the purple card I couldn't help but let my smile return. Ben's writing was clear as day on the card.

Mal,

I'm sure you're confused but I have wanted to ask you something for a while and decided to make a little game out of it. At each place you will find two envelopes the same as this one. One will say open and one will be numbered. Don't open the numbered one's until the end of the game.

Head to the place where we first met.

See you soon.

I love you xxx

Without a second thought I transported myself to the school's courtyard. As the purple smoke cleared around me I looked around and found the two envelopes leant against the statue of Adam. She quickly picked them up and opened the one titled 'open'. Inside I found another purple card with Ben's handwriting on it.

Head to our favourite place at school xxx

Folding the note and placing it in my pocket I glanced at the other purple envelope in my hand. I had to admit I was tempted to open it now but I decided to humour Ben. He had clearly put a lot of thought into this, I could wait a little while to find out what he wanted to ask me. I made my way through the quiet and empty corridors of Auradon Prep and headed up to the roof.

As I headed up there I couldn't help but think of how it became our favourite place. It wasn't long after Ben's coronation and everytime we tried to have some time to ourselves we were interrupted. It seemed no matter where we went or what we were doing there was someone who recognised Ben and wanted to talk to him. So on a whim Ben organized a picnic on the roof for us. We quickly found that is was the one place, other then the enchanted lake, where no one ever looked for us so when we wanted to get away from school for a while we went up to the roof.

Before I knew it I was stepping through the door and onto the very familiar rooftop. My eyes immediately settled on the two purpel envelopes and picking them up I shifted the numbered one behind the other one in my hand before opening the other envelope.

Go to the place where we had our first date xxx

Transporting myself to the Enchanted Lake I felt my smile grow bigger. I coudln't get over how much thought Ben had put into this, he must have been planning this for ages. As the purple smoke cleared I couldn't help but stand there and admire the beauty of the lake. It always amazed me how beautiful this place was.

After a couple of minutes just staring at the lake I finally tore my gaze away from the view and scanned the ruins for the familiar envelopes. Sure enough, there on the table, the two envelopes sat. The numbered envelope joined the other two in my hand while the other one I opened, sliding out a purple card. But the sentence written on this one cause dmy smile to grow and my heart to swell with love for my boyfriend.

Where did you first tell me you loved me?

I didn't even have to think twice. Slipping the card into my pocket with the rest of them I transported myself back to Castle Beast, but instead of appearing inside I transported myself to Belle's rose garden. As I picked up the two envelopes off of the table in fron tof me I couldn't help but think back to our date here. It was back in our first summer in Auradon and Ben was determined to spend the afternoon with me. Once he had finished his morning meetings he had treated me to lunch out, followed by shopping and then back here for a picnic in Belle's famous rose garden. Shaking my head I came out of my thoughts and opened the envelope titled 'Open'.

You now have all the numbered envelopes. Open then in numerical order.

I love you xxx

I sat at the patio set in the centre of the rose bushes. Placing the card I had just read to one side I laid the four unopened envelopes in the order I needed to open them. Slowly I slipped the cards out of the envelopes, keeping them in the same order. But I resisted the urge to read them until I had all four opened and the cards placed on the table.

Once the last card was on the table my eyes read over them and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Will you marry me?" I read aloud in disbelief. This had to be some kind of joke. But before I could think of why Ben would do this I heard someone clear their throat. Turning in my chair my eyes settled on Ben. He was knelt on one knee in front of me and was wolding a beautiful ring in his hand. I could feel the tears gathering in my eyes as I took in the sight before me. It wasn't a joke, he actually meant this.

"Mal, you are the most kind hearted, generous person I know. You are simply beautiful, inside and out. I love you with all my heart. You are my best friend, my whole world and my soul mate. I can't imagine my life without you, so will you marry me?" He asked me and all I could do was smile and nod. I didn't trust my voice to try and speak right now. Ben smiled broadly back at me as he slipped the ring onto my ring finger.

Once the ring was secure on my finger I wrapped my arms around Ben's neck, pulling him into a quick kiss. "I love you, Ben."

"I love you too, Mal." He responded and I had never felt happier. I was going to spend my life with the love of my life. Nothing could spoil my happiness right now and I didn't care about anything other then Ben as I felt him kiss me again.
