“Maybe you should get him a hat with a little crown embroidered on it” Felix joins in. 

“Please tell me I don’t actually have to wear any of that” Max quietly asks you, trying to ignore his friends’ amusement at the situation. 

“No, I was just going to try to get you to wear the leather jacket that I love so much. There’s not really a dress code, but any excuse to see you in the jacket is a good one” you respond bashfully, no longer wanting to look him in the eye. 

“You could have just asked, Princess” Max smiles, fully enjoying your reaction, before placing a kiss on the top of your head. 

“I know. But I also knew you would enjoy me asking too much, just like you are now. Can’t have your head getting too big for your hat” you laugh. 

“If it did, you would just steal my hat” Max grins. 

“Oh, I totally would,” you grin back. 

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

Later that night at Beast Castle, Mal and Ben have finally returned home from two years of trying to form alliances with far away kingdoms. Originally the trip was only supposed to take at most a year, but some alliances were harder to form than others making the extension necessary. 

“Wow it’s good to be home,” Ben sighs in relief. 

“You can say that again. At least we convinced Arendelle to align with us. Can’t say I blame them for being more cautious after the last time they tried to make allies” Mal replies, exhausted from the trip. 

“I cannot wait to sleep in our own bed again and to see everyone tomorrow. My sister even wrote that she has a boyfriend. Can you believe that, little Y/N has a boyfriend,” Ben says, starting to get worked up, feeling bad he hasn’t seen you in so long. 

“Woah slow down there, Benny Boy. Let’s not start over thinking,” Mal says, trying to calm her husband. “Y/N understands why you’ve been gone so long. Let’s get some rest so you can be wide awake when you see her tomorrow. I’m sure she doesn’t want a zombie for a brother.” 

“You’re right. I want to make sure I have enough energy for tomorrow. Let’s get some sleep” Ben yawns out. 

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

After barely getting any sleep and your roommate Pink having to physically stop you from leaving to see your brother, it is finally time to head to Beast Castle. You leave your room practically running down the corridors to meet Max in front of your father’s statue. When you arrive at the statue, you are disappointed that he is nowhere to be seen. 

“Boo” Max says while grasping your shoulders causing you to gasp in surprise. 

“Max, you’re here” you exclaim, pulling him into a hug. Normally you would give Max a bad time for scaring you, but you are too excited to pretend to be upset. “And you’re wearing the jacket!” 

“Of course, I am. Couldn’t disappoint my favorite girl in all of Auradon” He grins at you. 

“Normally I’d question who your favorite girl outside of Auradon is, but the limo is here” you say as you grab Max’s hand, tugging him towards the limo. 

“Limo?” Max questions. 

“Yes, limo” you say, reaching the vehicle with a guard opening the door for you both. “Did you forget your dating royalty?” You wink at him. 

“No, but I just didn’t expect all of this” Max responds in disbelief. He had never been in a limo before. Being the son of Maddox Hatter didn’t really come with the perk of fancy transportation. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. The limo didn’t cross my mind as it's just how I normally get home” you tell him. 

“Don’t worry about it, princess. We better get inside so you can see your brother” Max reassures you. 

As both climb in and get comfortable in the limo you can’t help but glance over at Max. “You know what the best part about riding in a limo is” you say. 

“What is it?” Max responds. 

“Chocolate” you tell him with a smile, as you open the candy compartment. 

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

After a short ride, and multiple chocolate bars, you and Max had finally reached Beast Castle. Suddenly doubt starts to creep into your mind as you get out of the limo. What if Ben had changed in the two years since you had seen him and wasn’t excited to see you? 

“Hey Y/N, are you okay?” Max asks, noticing your worried expression. 

“It's just been so long since I’ve seen Ben. What if we don’t get along anymore” you tell him sadly. 

“Trust me that is not going to be the case. From what you’ve told me about your brother, I’m sure he’s just excited to see you as you are him,” Max reassures you.  

“I don’t know what I’d do with you out” you confess. “Are you ready?” You ask him, holding out your hand to hold his. 

“As ready as I’ll ever be” Max takes your hand as you both walk up towards the castle entrance. 

As the doors open to the castle, you can see Ben and Mal talking to your parents a few feet away. Ben, hearing the doors open, notices you immediately and takes off running towards you. 

“Y/N” Ben shouts, pulling you into a tight hug, while Max stands next to the two of you, taken aback by the King of Auradon’s actions. 

“Ben” you respond with the same enthusiasm. “I can’t believe you're finally home!” 

“I can’t believe how much you’ve grown since I left,” Ben exclaims. Noticing your boyfriend, Ben turns his attention to Max. “And you must be Y/N’s boyfriend,” Ben adds, looking at Max. 

“Yup, this is my boyfriend Max Hatter” you introduce Max to Ben. If Ben is at all surprised by Max’s last name, he doesn’t show it. 

“Nice to meet you Max” Ben tells him before pulling him into a hug, completely surprising Max. 

“It’s nice to meet you too, Ben. Your sister talks about you all the time,” Max says as Ben pulls away. 

“I’m sure only good things are right,” Ben responds, glancing over at you. 

“Only the best. No embarrassing stories whatsoever, especially ones about how your pjs are covered in little crowns” you grin back. 

“Did you say Hatter?” Your father interrupts. 

“Yes, Hatter. But Max is nothing like his father.” You sternly tell him as you move closer to Max, holding his hand. 

“I promise you, I am nothing like my father, and I have no intention of harming your daughter,” Max confesses to him. 

“We’ve already been through this once, dear. Let’s keep an open mind,” Belle calmly tells her husband. 

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have judged you so quickly. I’m just protective of my little girl,” Adam apologizes to Max, wanting to stay on his family’s good side. 

“It’s okay, sir. I know my last name causes people to worry,” Max replies gracefully, not wanting to leave a negative impression. 

“Well, it will be good to have another VK in the mix. These guys tend to get a little too sappy sometimes,” Mal says to Max, breaking the tension. 

“Hey we do not” you and Ben exclaim in unison. 

“Oh, you totally do,” Mal says, walking over to pull you into a hug. 

“I think I’ve got to agree with Mal on this one. You definitely get all sappy,” Max laughs. 

“Do you want to talk about sappy? Cause I can bring up how you acted on our first date” you threaten. 

“And I suddenly, a hundred percent support my beautiful girlfriend,” Max says, changing his tune. 

“Well, it’s very nice to meet you Max. I hope you are up for dinner and some games tonight. Prepare yourselves for these four to get very competitive. Last time we played charades, Mal almost turned into a dragon, and I swear I heard these three roar multiple times” Belle warns him with a smile. 

Max, surprised by the idea of you acting beastly, responds “Roar? I guess I’ll try to prepare myself.” 

“It wasn’t that bad!” You exclaim. 

“Well why don’t we continue this discussion over food” your mother suggests. 

“That sounds good to me, I’m starving,” your father responds. 

As you follow your parents, you grab a hold of Max’s hands and whisper “See, I told you they’d like you. And sorry about my dad, he gets a little protective.” 

“Don’t worry about it, princess. You're worth it,” he grins back at you. 

Unbeknownst to you, Mal and Ben caught this interaction between you and Max. 

“You know they remind me a lot of us,” Ben says, smiling at his wife. 

“They really do. I think your family must have a type. You all love finding the good in everyone,” Mal smiles back at him. 

“Can’t say I disagree when it brought me to you” Ben tells her. 

“Well Benny Boo, we can’t keep your family waiting,” Mal says, taking Ben’s hand as they set off to join the rest of you. 

It looks like you and Max had nothing to worry about after all.

'Watch your back' That was the barebones plan that your little gaggle of VK's and the literal king of Auradon were able to devise.

With possessed suits of armour encroaching on you and your friends, the moment you and Ben rejoined the group, you had to cast a protection incantation before even greeting Mal with a hug. Between you, Mal, and Uma as the only three of the current group who could use magic in any capacity, you were the only one whose powers leaned more towards healing and protection; flower gleam and glow, and all that jazz. After taking a moment to breathe, everyone started pitching ideas, arguing, and stating the obvious. Uma tried to take the lead first, claiming that her smaller crew of three would be more effective in bringing the enemy to their knees, whilst the rest of you hold the line. Of course, Mal wasn't having any of that. She argued that splitting into two equal groups would be better, since you were outnumbered about 1 to 100 right now. Constant arguing of 'The VK's are my crew', 'This is my squad though', 'This is our turf' ensued until you and Evie interrupted Mal and Jay arguing with Uma and Harry with a perfectly synced 'Oh my god!'. 'We have bigger fish to fry!' Evie started, circling her finger in the air, alluding to Audrey's hundreds of puppets. 'Literally! Put your differences aside. For now, at least, we're on the same side.' You added, looking at both sides of the argument and then sending a quick glance to your boyfriend, signalling that he should butt-in. '[Name] and Evie are right. Until the night falls, and Audrey along with it, we stay together 'till the battle is done.' Ben spoke confidently and clearly. Holy shit, he could get so serious and lead when it was necessary.

So with that, the plan of watching each other's backs was set in motion. You played with the wispy, gold, sun-like light that was currently acting like a forcefield around you and the others before looking to everyone one last time and taking the barrier down. And that was it. The battle had begun. Watching eachother's backs was metaphorical but also literal. Your strategy was taking on three to four puppets per person, with your back to another VK or adjacent. Pairs weren't set in stone, rather everyone would float around, but the rule was that you guys would fight in twos. Obviously, you started with Ben's back to yours; the king with a sword in hand, and you with magic tools. Whilst the magic you'd inherited from your mother leaned more towards healing, protecting, and time-shenanigans, it didn't mean that the healing incantation of the sundrop flower couldn't be altered or contorted into offensive magic. Over time, you've mastered a couple of tricks that have now become very useful; for example, infusing petals with wither and decay so that whatever comes in contact with them absorbs that withering. Petals are light-weight enough that it took no effort to control their movement with your magic; so boom, you made yourself corrosive projectiles. And boy did those petals come in handy during this fight, where Ben was clashing swords with Audrey's puppets and exhausting himself, you were barely breaking a sweat taking down double what Ben had. Was Ben emasculated or embarrassed? Not at all. He was in awe of you and complimenting you the whole time; 'Haha! Get 'em babe!'.

After dealing with the gaggle of twenty or so puppets in your area with Ben, you broke off from your boyfriend to help out somewhere else; him doing the same, not before kissing you on the cheek and whispering a quick but serious 'stay safe. I need you'. On your wander around, you spot Uma and Mal, back to back, bickering as they slashed against possessed suits of metal. You could only chuckle and move forward. You join Harry as he gets surrounded by eight puppets, your back to his as you both tear through waves of suits of armour. 'Look at ya go, Gothel, more than jus' a pretty face are ya?' Harry teases, giving you a smirk as he glances back at you ' 'tch that's not my name, Harry, shut up.' you say with a chuckle as you take down a suit of armour that was swinging right for Harry's neck. 'Watch yourself, handsome, losing a face like yours would be a shame~' You tease the man back, and the two of you continue laughing and bantering as you take down more of Audrey's goons. From a little further across the field of battle, Ben watched you and Harry with a scoff on his face and a gleam of jealousy in his eyes. Why does that douche get to see your pretty smile, and why are you entertaining his shit? Ben isn't toxic like the guys you've dated on the Island, so when this jealousy and these comments rear their ugly heads, he quickly shakes them off and reassures himself that you love him and only him. But Ben couldn't deny his possessive side, a side you were a huge fan of, so he kept his observation of your banter with Harry in his back pocket for later.

The ground was littered with unmoving suits of armour; defeated, and Audry's magic removed from them due to the iron swords wielded by your group. But once you had all regrouped, you noticed a new wave of a hundred or so more puppets coming your way. 'This is a whole ass war... they have us so fucking outnumbered guys' Jay mumbles with a small ghost of fear in his tone, one he quickly got rid of to keep up his overconfident shtick. 'The fate of Aurodon is on the line, don't forget that. We can't just lay down and let Audry take over!' Ben states, his tone not accusatory but matter-of-fact and intended to somehow inspire everyone to keep going. 'We have to override the magic already on 'em, but it's Maleficent's magic, only Mal could compare, but you can't cast magic on that scale, can you, Mal?' You explain, your analysis of the situation very fair yet bleak. 'I can't... but you can, [name]!' Mal says with a smirk and hopeful look in her eyes 'ME!? I mean, yeah, magic through song is easier to cast en masse, but I couldn't dream of challenging Maleficent's magic!' You argue, knowing your limits well and not wanting to set false expectations. 'Exactly! I can channel my magic and a counter spell through you and you project it en masse.' Mal counters.

Her plan made sense. So you thought fuck it, let's give it a try. Realistically, what else could you do in your situation? Everyone watched you and Mal as you started chanting; the sound of your voice carrrying all throughout Auradon due to your magic. 'Suit of armour, strong and true, make this metal all askew' Mal cast the spell, her eyes glowing green and green, ephemeral wisps of magic flowing out of her hands, through her sword and into you; then getting further projected across all of Auradon through your song. The group watched as you were stuck in place and your body went limp, arms slack by your side as you stayed chanting in place; your eyes getting swallowed in a growing darkness, and some of your hair lifting gently and glowing a murky, dark glow. 'Ahh ah ahhh, ahh ah ahhhh' The sound of your voice was all that could be heard on the battlefield, that same tune on loop as everyone went back to fighting. Ben was the only person who stayed back for a second, hesitating, worrying about you, knowing that this must be uncomfortable for you. But, the king had to shake it off; 'he's putting himself through for us, so I need to get this over with quickly for him, no point wasting time worrying.'

Four puppets to one turned into fifty puppets to one; your and Mal's spell made Audrey's puppets not only barely fight back, but also only require a light tap from a blade to be beaten. Within half an hour, Audrey's army was reduced to piles of armour on the ground. After taking a moment to breathe and recuperate, everyone regrouped around you; who was still stuck chanting, body slack and overrun with magic. Ben slowly approached you. He didn't try to shake you awake or slap you out of it; he wouldn't be able to sleep knowing there was even a possibility he'd hurt you. Instead, Ben gently held your hands and softly spoke your name. The man brought a hand to your cheek and looked into your fully black eyes, and he just kept softly saying your name until your chanting quietened and slowed down. Eventually, you snapped out of your trance; your throat hurt from singing nonstop, but you didn't care, you were exhauseted and your boyfriend was in front of you looking into your eyes, you just let yourself go into him.

The fight wasn't over with Audrey, though. With the help of her father's ember, Uma's conch and your magic, you all defeated Audrey, though it took a lot out of you all. Before scurrying to help everyone who was under Audrey's magic, checking on Audrey, or even seeing if the fairy godmother's wand was safe, you all rested for a moment. You gave yourselves half an hour as a break from real life, just half an hour to breathe. Of course, you spent this time with Ben, talking about this whole ordeal and voicing how thankful you both were that the other wasn't hurt too bad. 'Overall, I'd say nothing too bad happened during all of that haha!' you state, honestly shocked that despite having Maleficent's magic in her hands, Audrey didn't do more damage. 'Haha yeah, well with you on our side, I knew we'd be fine~ ....Though I wasn't the biggest fan of Harry flirting with you~' Ben teased, crossing his arms and putting on a jokey pout and frown. '....HAHAHAHA!~' You can't help but laugh hysterically, covering your mouth and holding your stomach. '...What? Is it that ridiculous?' Though he was mainly joking, the joke stemmed from a small insecurity, so your laughing felt iffy to Ben. 'No- No! It's funny 'cause look-' you point behind Ben 'I think Harry's too busy with Mal to be flirting with me, Ben~' you chuckle. 'Oh... Okay, well now I look dumb...' Ben mumbles, a little dejected but still joking. 'Awww don't be like that... Y'know I like that jealous side of ya, my liege~' you tease, finger gently pushing against your boyfriend's chest as you look up into his eyes. 'Hehe~ I told you to stop calling me that' Ben rolls his eyes, but gently grabs your waist and leans in for a kiss.
