Hi! This is a series of one-shots based on Disney's Descendants characters, mainly pairings, including Mal/Ben, Doug/Evie and Jay/Audrey. There will also be non-canon pairings if requested. If any of you are wondering why I haven't been updating 'Fourtris Train Initiates' it is because the story is currently on hiatus. So, obviously there will be spoilers for the movie! I hope you enjoy it! The chapters may or may not be connected to each other and they will not be in chronological order.

Ben led Mal to their favourite spot by the Enchanted Lake, for their date. He had told her to wear clothes that she didn't particularly like, in order for her to be prepared for his surprise. Once Ben had learned that she didn't know how to swim, he made it a priority to teach her, therefore choosing the Enchanted Lake, as location, for a better chance of it being a surprise.

"Ben?" Mal asked, confused, as they approached their spot, " Why did I have to wear older clothes? Aren't we just having a picnic?"

"Nope, actually yes, but I have another surprise for you," Ben replied as he removed his shirt and slipped into the refreshing water.

" You know I cannot swim,"

"Which is why I am going to teach you," Ben beamed, trying to get her into the water.

Mal would have probably been more than eager to try to learn how to swim, had it not been for her mother. At the early age of five, her mother had decided that it was time for her daughter to learn a lesson about pure evil, after having caught her trying to help her friend; he had been caught stealing from a merchant for his father. Young Mal had been forced to stand under a waterfall as the stones ripped up her knees and she choked on the water. Since then, one of her number one fears had been water.

"I don't know about this…" Mal trailed off, not looking directly at Ben, drifting off until she felt his arms wrap around her.

"What's wrong?" He wondered, knowing that she might not tell him and knowing that it might have something to do with Maleficent.

When she shook her head and got into the water, he slipped in beside her and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Soon enough, he had her able to float on her back; currently trying to get her to onto her front, when he felt a splatter of water on his face. Realizing that Mal had splashed him, he splashed her back and they both forgot all about swimming. Pulling her into a kiss, he whispered, " I love you," beaming when she said it back to him. Knowing for sure that he wanted to marry her and be with her forever and listening to his heart, he knew that she felt the same way.

Yay? Nay? Let me know! Please review! I always take comments and criticism into account for how to make my writing better!
