"Lili! Stop following me!" Jasmine turned and barked at the little toddler. "..I can't do anything with you always following me and that isn't even your doll!" She glared at her sister.
"Mine." Lili smiled and hugged the doll to her chest.
"Actually, that is mine." Jasmine moved to grab the doll's arm. They tugged on each side of the doll. Lili's strong hold on the doll only encouraged Jasmine to pull harder until the inevitable happened. The doll's arm burst at the seams and sent both girls flying in separate directions. Jasmine looked down and into her hands. In her palms was the arm of the doll. Jasmine's eyes widened and stomped over to Lili. "This is all YOUR fault! You broke the ONLY doll mama ever made! She was mine not YOURS!"
Lili responded as only a three-year old could when being yelled at and began to cry.
Jasmine huffed and yanked the rest of the doll out of her arms. "..In fact..You're the entire reason mama is gone. She would be here if you weren't born on this day." The bitter four-year old said under her breath.
Lili looked up at her older sister with tear-filled eyes and looked for someone to comfort her.
She saw the Sultan's faithful advisor and waddled over to him. "Jaffy! J-Jaffy!" She wailed.
Jafar inwardly groaned and looked at the sniffling, diapered toddler clutching onto his robes. He picked her up. "Now, now young princess. What is the matter?" He asked, scanning the room. Jasmine was standing with the broken doll hidden behind her back. She didn't want to be found out. "Jasmy..be mean.." Lili sniffled. Jafar walked over to Jasmine. "Did you cause your little sister to make this..wretched..sound?" He glared. Jasmine shifted uncomfortably before looking up at Jafar and her sister. "..Yes..Only because she deserved it and I-I..I'm tired of having a little sister! If I could make a birthday wish for her, it would be for her to disappear." She said brattily. Jafar hid his smirk as he turned away from Jasmine. '..That can be..arranged, young princess.'
Jafar's smirk turned into a grin as he remembered Jasmine's wish. "Jasmine isn't very fond of you, little Liliana." He said to the toddler in his arms. It wasn't as if he was fond of Jasmine or Lili, in fact he loathed the both of them. Although, the younger seemed to have an affinity towards him. She was cuddling against his shoulder as her sniffles eventually quieted. Jafar knew the reason why. Lili's birthday was overshadowed by the queen's memorial service every year. She was treated poorly by her sister and ignored by the Sultan. Mainly because of her eyes that reminded the Sultan of his late wife. Lili blinked as Jafar passed her nursery. "Jaffy.. no nap?"
"No nap, Liliana..not now." Jafar replied simply. He turned through many of the palace's hallways, taking the young princess to parts of her home that she hadn't seen before. He finally reached his quarters. Lili's eyes had to adjust to the darker, red color of the walls compared to the blinding white of the rest of the palace. He set her down on the lavish cushions in the center of the room. She sunk into the middle of the plush pillows, leaving only her head exposed. She turned to see where he was going. "Jaffy? Bye bye?" Lili called out, struggling to crawl out of her soft entrapment.
He opened a secret door and called within. "Iago, come here."
A parrot was jolted awake from a restful nap and groaned. "Coming..I'm coming!" He flapped his way over to the entrance to Jafar's room. "What is it?" He asked and landed on Jafar's shoulder.
"I need you to watch the pipsqueak in the cushions for a while." Jafar answered.
"Baby-sit? You wake me to watch the PRINCESS? Couldn't you just hand her over to her nurse?" Iago whined.
Jafar gave Iago a hard look. "No..We are going to fulfill Jasmine's wish-" Iago interrupted abruptly. "Since when do we care about the dumb princess's wishes? I thought we wanted to keep them out of our hair?"
"If you would let me finish..Jasmine has wished for her little sister to disappear." Jafar began to smirk.
"Oh! I get it! We're going to make her wish come true and make one less problem for ourselves." Iago grinned as he caught on.
Sorry for making cute little Jasmine seem so bratty but, think about it..She knows her mom died on the day that Lili was born. I'd probably be a little bitter too, even at a young age. She's too young to really understand why her mom is dead so; she looks for the next person to blame..Hopefully Jasmine doesn't seem out of character..I tried.
