Chapter 2: Jasmine
Four years ago Destiny Island was attacked by a swarm of monsters called Heartless. Though many of the residents made it to safety, a young boy called Sora had to watch helplessly as his parents sacrificed themselves to give their son time to get to saftey. Somehow a key shaped weapon had come into Sora and he had saw a door with a giant keyhole on it, with the monsters closing in he tried opening the door with the weapon and came through which took him to a strange place called Traverse Town.
From there he met Mickey Mouse, King of the world known as Disney Castle and Keyblade master (Keyblade being the name of the weapon that Sora had been given). After learning of Sora's name and that he was orphaned by the attack on his home, Mickey gave him a big hug and invited him to come back with him to Disney Castle. There he met Mickey's wife Queen Minnie as well as his friends Donald Duck and Goofy. Mickey and Minnie were extremely hospitable to the young orphan and even insisting they call him by names and not use the king or queen titles. Once they found the world where Sora lived, Mickey and Minnie went with him where he was reunited with Riku and Kairi. After learning that Sora had no more living relatives they had a talk between eachother and came to an agreement: they came to Sora and asked if he wanted to live with them as his new parents.
Sora ended up becoming a big joy to have around the palace, being extremely friendly to the staff and friends of the Royal Family who were won over by the warm heart that the new prince had. He even went out to Disney Town and was very friendly with the children there and even played games with them. Mickey and Minnie were proud of the bright young boy they now called their son, of course his friends Riku and Kairi came over to visit from time to time and he even visited which they arranged with Gummi Ships (which was made possible since it seemed the invisible walls between the worlds seemed to have been collapsing more and more). Every year they would come with him as they visited his birth parent's graves on the anniversary of the attack on the island. He was even trained how to use his Keyblade with the help of his foster father's old master
On a particular day the now fourteen year old Sora was asleep in his bedroom as he was awakened by the light coming through his window, getting up with a big yawn he went to his wardrobe and got dressed. He got dressed in a red shirt, red pants, yellow and black shoes, a silver pendant around his neck in the shape of a crown, white gloves and a black short sleeved hooded jacket which had white colored sleeves and was not zipped up. One look at his attire and you would not be able to tell he was a prince. He smiled at a shelf which had framed pictures of him playing with Riku and Kairi on Destiny Island, his birth parents and various parties he had at the castle.
"Hey Pluto." Sora smiled as he saw the family dog and faithful companion enter the room as he opened the door. "It's a big day today." Sora sighed as he recalled a conversation he had with Mickey and Minnie earlier in the month:
"Hi mum, hi dad, can I please ask what you want me for?" Sora asked having grown used to referring to the king and queen as mum and dad despite always remembering his biological parents which they encouraged. Sora looked alarmed as Mickey and Minnie were worried about how to break this bit of news to him.
"Sora, you know of our attempts at establishing alliances with other worlds to find potential Keyblade users and to help in face the darkness ever attacked all the worlds at once?" Mickey asked and Sora nodded well aware of this practice that Mickey had recently began. "Well I was meeting with the Sultan of a place called Agrabah and discussion went to his daughter Princess Jasmine who he was trying to find a suitor for." Sora in his lessons about other worlds was aware that in some kingdoms on these worlds did have arranged marriages from those of royal or high society families.
"Well when he learned that I had a son he asked that you came over and meet with his daughter." Mickey said after a big sigh, Sora's mind went through what King Mickey had just said and once the realisation of why the Sultan would want him to meet with his daughter, his face reddened. "You want me to marry the Sultan's daughter?" Sora asked becoming a bit afraid and nervous.
"No don't worry Sora, nothing like that." Minnie assured him put a hand on his shoulder as she walked up to him, "your dad just agreed with the Sultan that you would come over just to meet with her and get to know her. All we want you to do is meet with her that's all, maybe you and Princess Jasmine will become friends but all we ask is that you just go and visit and it will be up to you if you want to be friends with her or something."
"Okay mum, I guess I can meet with her." Sora smiled as he calmed down; at least they managed to explain to Sora. "And from what the Sultan says, Princess Jasmine does not like potential suitors trying to convince her to marry them so she might be just as hesitant to meet you as you are." Mickey explained as they said Sora could go while they make plans for the trip when it came to the date.
Sora met up with Donald and Goofy who would be taking him by Gummi Ship to Agrabah for this meeting. After getting a hug from Mickey and Minnie who reminded him that they did not want to pressure him to get married to the princess or anything, just meet her and see if he could make a new friend. Although Minnie jokingly had said:
"I don't know Mickey, once the princess meets our Sora she will want to marry him in an instant."
Later that day all the way in the palace of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine was sighing as she was petting her pet tiger Rajah as her father the Sultan had for the day set her up to meet another visiting prince in an effort to find someone for her to marry. "Another day and another stuck up arrogant prince to meet." She muttered with Rajah giving her a sympathetic purr. "I know and i wish I can convince father I only want to marry for love and not just to fullfill some stupid law." She then noticed one of her father's servants coming towards her with Sora.
She was wondering who the boy was until the servant introduced him "Princess Jasmine please meet Prince Sora of the Disney Castle." Jasmine looked surprised; this boy was the prince she was supposed to be meeting since he did not seem like the others. "Princess Jasmine...I'm Sora..." Sora said nervously as he put out his hand and Jasmine hesitantly shook it "sorry when my parents said I would be meeting a princess looking for a husband I was not sure about it...especially since you are prettier than I imagined." After blushing at the compliment Sora was not sure what to think, this Prince seemed, shy and kind and he was the first suitor who was as uncomfortable with the idea as she was.
"Thanks and if you want, we can just talk about eachother and forget about my father wanting me to find a husband." Jasmine said trying to ease the situation and Sora nodded before he looked excitedly at Rajah. "Is that a tiger?" Sora said as he began stroking Rajah's back softly making him purr "so cool and if you want I brought a deck of cards that we can play."
As they had fun spending the day together talking about eachother and playing games, Sora had found a new friend and Jasmine was excited to finally have a friend besides Rajah and was wondering if given time Sora could be the one she would be willing to marry...
The idea of Mickey and Minnie adopting Sora really intrigues me and I have only ever seen it used before in a story called the Heartless Prince where I got the idea but I am using it in a whole different direction. Since I have done Jasmine/Sora stories before you might be able to tell that she is my fave Disney princess (although my fave Disney royalty will always be Elsa). Also I am still after possible scenarios and characters (especially Square characters) for future chapters, I am planning on writing chapters for Mulan (since it has been suggested to me), Yuffie and Larxene but I need help coming up with scenarios for their chapters besides the one suggested for Mulan (thank you warrior of six blades). Also I might write a sequel chapter to this.
