"Firelily, you may talk to anyone just don't talk to my Aunt Rose okay?" he replied kissing her forehead.
"I wont talk to her." she replied back kissing him.
All smiling, they walked into the dinning hall where there was a party going on before dinner. Everyone was chatting and dancing. Waterlily and Firelily stayed close together and Firelily was introduced to members of the family by Waterlily. As the two girls chatted with most of the family they stayed away from Aunt Rose. Ali was over with some of his older cousins chatting and fooling around. Firelily turned around to look at Ali and smiled. After the party was over everyone headed to their rooms. Waterlily and Firelily went for a walk in the garden before going to their rooms.
"Thank you for introducing me to your family tonight." replied Firelily with a smile.
"Your welcome."replied Waterlily with a grin.
The two girls parted ways to go to their rooms which was across from each other. As Firelily walked into her room Ali was already asleep. She smiled and thought in her head "That boy. I love him so much." She got into her night robes and got into bed next to Ali. As the night went by slow and quietly everyone slept through the night. The next morning Firelily woke up late and noticed and got herself dressed as fast as she could. She comes out into the hall and looks around. She goes to the dinning hall and no one is there. She knocks on Waterlily's door to her room. She opens the door and see's Firelily.
"Whats wrong?" asked Waterlily.
"No one else is here. I checked every room, I think we over slept." replied Firelily.
Waterlily gets dressed as fast as she can and the two girls go out to the court yard of the palace and everyone is there. They felt the eyes of the whole family stare at them as they enter the court yard. Ali walks up to them and smiles. But their Aunt Rose had other ideas instead of smiling at the two girls.
"Hey, what's everyone doing here in the court yard?" asked the two girls.
"We are having a day just to relax, and have some fun." replied Ali with a smile.
"We kinda slept in a little." replied Waterlily.
"It's okay, we all slept in a little today, except Aunt Rose." said Ali in a whisper
"Well, well, well. Look who slept in and arrived late." hissed Rose.
"Back off Aunt Rose." replied Ali.
"Don't you go defending your little bride Ali. She needs to be punished." hissed their aunt again.
"No." said Waterlily and Ali at the same time.
"She needs it." she said again.
"By the laws of the palace and village you can not harm me." replied Firelily.
"How do you know that?" asked Rose.
"I may not know much about being queen yet but I know the laws of the village and palace. Also by law you can't harm me when I'm with child." replied Firelily.
Everyone was surprised at the young girl. Ali, Waterlily, the king, and Rose looked at her and gasp. Ali walks up to her and looks her in the eyes.
"Are you really?" he asked.
"Yes, I am." she replied.
Overjoyed at the news Ali hugs Firelily. Everyone starts to cheer and congratulate the two. The wedding was close now. It was only 3 days away and Firelily was two weeks along with being with child. She got to sleep in every day now for an extra hour. Ali one morning came in to wake her up. It was their wedding day today. Waterlily and Ali walk in to wake up Firelily who was already awake and starting to get dressed. Ali whispered to Waterlily to help her get ready while he goes and finishes getting ready.
"Good morning Firelily."replied Waterlily with a smile and who was the first ready for the wedding.
"Good Morning Waterlily." replied Firelily with a smile.
As Waterlily helps Firelily get ready for the wedding Ali walks in who is already. Smiling he walks up to his wife-to-be and hugs her. She smiles as she stands up and hugs him back.
"Waterlily still has to help me with my make-up." she said
"I know I just wanted to come in and check in on you." replied Ali.
She smiles and sends him out to go with his cousins and turns to look at Waterlily who is smiling. Everyone is ready and is waiting for the bride to come out. As the wedding goes on it now comes time to say the words. Ali and Firelily both say "I do." Everyone cheers as the two kiss. As it comes to the dinner everyone is outside.
"Everyone, I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding." said Ali.
Everyone was smiling and cheering, all except his Aunt Rose which didn't like the fact he married a 17 year old girl. As the wedding came to end point everyone began to go to their rooms. Ali and Firelily went to their room as well. He pulled out that box that was on her bed three weeks ago and handed it to her.
"This is my wedding gift from me to you." said Ali with a smile.
"You didn't have to get me anything." said Firelily with a smile.
"I know but its what every guy does for his wife." he said as he kissed her forehead.
She opened the box and inside was a gift for her and their baby. Firelily smiled and hugged Ali. The two smiled as they looked at the clothes for their baby. A couple of months had past and Firelily wasn't aloud to do much. Waterlily was by her side every second of the day helping her out and making sure she didn't do anything reckless. One day Waterlily and Firelily walked around the village greeting the people and having a nice walk. Suddenly all the kids she sung for came up to her and asked her to sing her song for them. She smiled and agreed to do so. She begins to sing for the kids as they danced and laughed. After she was done singing, she had to go. The kids were sad but knew she'd come back tomorrow. As the days went on and on Firelily loved going for her daily walks with Waterlily to the village. As it hit her 9 month mark she told the kids she wouldn't be able to come to the village for awhile. The kids got sad but understood, they said their last byes and promised to come and visit her at the palace as much as they could. Over the next month everyone was keeping a close eye on Firelily. Time came close for her to give birth to her child. Everyone prepared for the big day. The servants got the room for her child ready. The room was decorated in white and had a great view of the village. After 5 hours of labor, Firelily gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Ali and Waterlily were the first to come in to see the baby. Ali was happy to be a father.
"She is so pretty."remarked Waterlily smiling close to tears of joy.
"She is beautiful." said Ali with a smile as he gave the baby back to his wife.
"What should we name her?" asked Firelily.
As the three thought of a name for the child, Aunt Rose walked in. They stared at the door way as the women walked in. Firelily held her child close and warm in her arms as the women sat next to the bed and looked at the child. The three were still quiet and suddenly Rose broke the silence.
"Whats the child's name to be?" hissed Rose.
"We haven't decide yet and we'd respect it if you left."replied Firelily.
Rose left the room and slammed the door behind her. The three was thankful that the women had left and they could now get back to naming the newborn girl. Then suddenly Waterlily spoke up.
"I know what we should name her now." she said with a smile.
"What?"asked Ali and Firelily.
"We should name her Whitelily." said Waterlily.
The three agreed on the name. They told the king what the his grand-daughters name was and he loved it. He announced it to the whole family and they all loved it, except for Rose. She wanted to name the newborn girl. As the days went on Whitelily grew into a strong girl. By the time she was 5 years of age she was looking more like her mother. Except her eyes, Whitelily's eyes were looking more like her fathers. Her skin was pale like her mother's, her hair as long as the river and as dark as the velvet night sky. Her eyes were the color of the pale blue moon, like her dad's eyes. Waterlily decided to stay with them to help raise her new niece. One day Firelily, Waterlily, and Whitelily were in the garden fooling around with the fountain. Splashing water at each other. When suddenly Rose walked in glaring at the trio. Firelily grabbed her daughter and pushed her gentlytowardsWaterlily.
"What do you want?" snapped Firelily.
"Oh nothing just came by to say hi and I find you three being a disgrace again." hissed Rose
"We aren't being a disgrace, we are just having fun."snapped Whitelily to the old lady.
Rose began to walk over to Waterlily who had Whitelily peeking out from behind her. But just at the right time Ali walked in and stepped in front of Waterlily.
"If you value your life aunt, you should leave right this moment." barked Ali.
"Hmph." snorted Rose as she walked out of the garden.
"Are you girls okay?" ask Ali.
"We are fine." replied Firelily.
"That's good. I don't like my aunt, ever since we've had Whitelily." whispered Ali to Firelily.
"I know." replied Firelily.
As the two talked Whitelily and Waterlily kept splashing each other with water. Then suddenly Whitelily got her father with water. Everyone froze when suddenly everyone joined in for a whole hour they were splashing water at each other and having a good time. Then the king came out to tell them to be to the dinning hall soon for dinner. But when he walked into the garden he got splashed and everyone stopped, the king stood there soaked. He began to laugh.
"Everyone to the dinning hall soon dinner is almost ready." said the king.
Everyone went and got into dry clothes and cleaned up for dinner. They talked over dinner and Ali told his dad on what happened with Rose. The king didn't like this at all and told Ali he'd have her sent home as soon as possible. That night everyone went to their rooms and Firelily took her daughter to her room and began to sing to her. Ali stood in the door way listening to his wife sing. As soon as their daughter was asleep they too went to bed after locking the door. As the silent night went by everyone slept through the night. When morning hit Whitelily and Waterlily were the first ones to wake and get dressed. The two left the palace to go get some food for the palace. As they walked through the village, Whitelily saw beautiful blue earrings she wanted.
"Waterlily." she said.
"Yes dear."said Waterlily as she turned around to look at her.
"Can I get a pair for me and mommy?" asked Whitelily.
Smiling Waterlily got the two pairs for Whitelily and her mom. They walked back to the palace getting back before anyone woke up. Waterlily and Whitelily quietly walked into her parents room woke them up. Surprised at the wake up call, her parents laughed. Whitelily gave her present to her mom and she was speechless. The years went by fast and Whitelily was now 17. She was a beautiful young women. Strong and confident like her father. Beautiful and graceful like her mother. She was a great princess, yet always getting into trouble every now and then. The kids in the village loved her she was just like her mother. Whitelily every now and then she would sing for the kids. That evening when she returned back to the palace, her parents were waiting for her in the throne room waiting to talk.
"Mother, Father, is there something wrong?" asked Whitelily worried.
"Nothing is wrong dear, me and your father have something to tell you. It's not bad." said Firelily.
As her parents explained that it was time for her to marry Whitelily was surprised. Yet for she was only 17, and her parents are wanting her to marry this soon?
"But I'm only 17." replied Whitelily.
"We know sweetie. But you need to marry, me and your mother have ruled the kingdom for 17 years. That's a long time." remarked her father.
Whitelily agreed to get married before she was 18. She told Waterlily about her needing to get married. Both girls talked about it.
"I'm not ready to get married yet." sighed Whitelily.
"I know sweetie." remarked Waterlily
As the night fell and everyone was sleeping, Whitelily had packed a bag. She swiftly went down the stairs to the stables, where she had the stable boy get her horse ready for her. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you." she replied with a smile.
"Your welcome, I wont tell your parents about this." remarked Jafar smiling.
Whitelily rode off into the night out of the village a little ways to a smaller village that was also part of the kingdom she lived in. The next morning her parents woke and didn't see her anywhere. They looked all over but couldn't find her. So they sent out a search party to go find their daughter. The search party looked day and night for a week straight without stopping.
"Where could she be Ali?"cried Firelily.
"I don't know dear. But I hope she is found soon and brought home safe." remarked Ali.
In the other village where Whitelily was staying for the time being, she was having a great time. She found work and found a place to stay for the time being. One day when Whitelily was returning from a day of work in the village she bumped into a young man a year older then her.
"Ouch." said Whitelily.
"Oh my. Are you ok?" asked the young man as he helped her up.
"Yes. I'm okay." she replied
As she looked up into the young man's dark brown eyes she was dazed.
"Hi I'm Aas." the young man said as Whitelily got to her feet. "And your name would be?" He asked as he look at Whitelily.
"I'm Whitelily." she replyed.
Shocked the boy looked at her and then realized that she was the princess who ran away from home. He didn't say anything though.
"Would you like to come over to my place for dinner?"Whitelily asked
Aas agreed to go over to have dinner at her place.
"So would you like to tell me a little about yourself Whitelily?" Aas asked
"Well I am the princess of the kingdom and I had to marry early cause my parents are stepping down. So I must find a husband before I am 18." she said
After explaining her story to Aas, he felt sorry for her but had an idea. Aas explained his idea and she agreed. She got her stuff and got her horse and waited for night fall and so did Aas and he went to go pack a few of his things as well. It was night fall and Whitelily was the first to leave. A little bit after Aas left as well. Whitelily returned coming up to the stables Jafar hear her and came to unsaddle the white horse and greeted the princess.
"Your parents have been very worried." Jafar stated.
"I know. I've learned my lesson and I missed my parents." Whitelily commented "I've missed my parents and aunt. So I came home."she finished
"Stay clear of the hallway your parents, aunt's, and kings room is in and stay clear of the throne room." Jafar stated.
Whitelily nodded and made her way up to her room she quietly put her things away and went to sleep that night. The next morning Firelily woke up and went towards her daughter's room in fear of what she would find. As she opened the door there was Whitelily sleeping. Firelily ran back and got Ali up.
"What is it dear?" Ali asked as she woke him from a dead sleep
"She's back, Whitelily-our daughter is back."tears streamed down her face as she went to wake Waterlily. They all welcomed her back and was so happy she was safe and sound and back home where she blonged.
"Mother, I am sorry for what I did." Whitelily bowed as she talked to her mother who was in the garden. "I guess I was just scared of getting married so young, I was shocked." she said
Firelily got up and hugged her, "It doesn't matter. Your home and safe that's all that matters." Firelily said. The next day was the day in which Whitelily would chose a husband. Every man from the villages around came and so did Aas. He was the 34th to come and talk. Whitelily agreed he was the one. He was invited to dinner and he was just perfect. Her parents loved him. The next morning Whitelily was out singing to the birds in the early morning. Aas came and stood in the doorway and smiled to her lovely voice as she sung. She turned around to see a smiling Aas standing there listening.
"Good morning." Whitelily said walking over.
"Good morning." Aas said smirking as he bowed.
"Please you don't have to bow." Whitelily said kindly.
They talked for most of the morning in the garden. What they didn't know is that Whitelily's mother Firelily listened to the whole talk and smiled to herself as she went back to her room to go and get dressed for the day and wake up Waterlily and Ali. The three of them walked out as they made their way to the throne room Rose was standing there mad as ever like her usual self.
"My, my what do we have here?" Rose hissed at them.
They stood there and stared at the cold heartless women as she snapped her eyes over to Whitelily and Aas walking in talking. The two stopped and saw the four that was in here. Whitelily could feel the tension between the four and took Aas to the other room where the two could listen in on the talk like sneaky teens as they were.
