The Royals

The Alternate Time: The Rescue + The Jaspenor Wedding

By The Underfaker writing as Bocephus Manticore

While the royal family is plotting their completely justifiable overthrow of King Robert in Queen Helena's bedroom armed police burst into the room. "Armed Police" they shout quickly subduing Cyrus, Prince Liam, Jasper, and Helena Princess Eleanor (Len/Lenni) is close to the secret tunnle and manages to run away with one police officer close behind. They get down the tunnle a little bit and the officer shouts "Stop or I will Shoot" Len stops and looks at the officer who does an about face and fires a blast in the other direction. Len looks stuned as the officer motions to scream for her to pretend like she is dead and she throws her a packet of fake blood. Len pours the fake blood on her stomach and applys a little to the side of her mouth to look convincing. The officer gets a transmission over his radio "we heard gun fire what's your status" asks the voice, the officer replies I'm fine but the princess is dead." Helena breaks down in tears as she hears the transmission, Jasper and even Cyrus do the same... but Liam is enraged yells"you bastards their will be no place in the world where you can hide from my wrath", the officers laugh, Liam looks up at them and says "you killed my sister, my twin sister, one of the greatest people I've ever..." Liam is cut off by a transmission, "Hey up there I need some help with the body" hearing this Helena can hardly breath as the realization hits even more her only daughter is dead, "on our way" an officer replies, the commander as their walking toward the tunnle entrance coldly says maybe "we can get a selfie" as the other 3 officers laugh."

In the tunnle the officer waves the rest them down, Len is squinting and sees the officer that is with her pull out a strange looking gun after what she says next her eyes and ears are wide open. (Bachewie, bachewie, bachewie) the gun sounds as blue engergy blasts come out. The oposing 3 officers are down as Len looks bewildered at the woma who now has hermask off and says in a semi shocked tone "damn Captain Kirk did you have to kill them" the officer turns to her and says "it was set to stun they should be fine... in like 16 hours btw, I'm Lt. Alara Kitan from the starship Orville." Len nearly feints at the sight of this alien woman who catches and steadys her, they then walk back to the queen's room.

Alara walks in from the tunnle first and Liam say "Bitch I'll remeber you" not noticing her Xellaian facial features, his eyes widen with tears of joy as he sees Len emerge from from the tunnle. Helena looks up from her position on the floor and yells "Eleanor!" Jasper with a smile wide looks up as his eyes meet Len's, Cyrus is also relieved, then Helena in a more subdued tone, asks Len if she's "alive or undead", Len says "I'm fine mum this is Alara she's her to help, we have to get you guys out of these handcuffs" Alara then walks behind each one of them who are still on the floor and yanks the cuffs off of them, and they all stand up in shock as they also notice that she's not from around here. Len looks puzzled at Alara but before she can say any thing alara says "I come from a high gravity world, as of right now I'm the strongest person on earth, come on lets get out of here"

They run through the tunnle past the stunned officers and come to the exit and stops, Alara asks "why are you guys stopping", Helena looks at her supprised and say "we can't go out there we'd be sitting ducks", Alara looks at her and says "oh yeah sorry" she pulls out her commscanner and says "Gordon open the door." then out of thin air a door/ramp opens infront of them revealing a 12 person shuttle interior they all board in shock and take their seats "Seatbelts please" Lt. Gordon Malloy says with out looking back presses buttons on his console as the door closes and the engines start up. Then since the shuttle is still cloaked a slow moving security suv hits it and the cloak goes down, the shuttle lifts up and Gordon says "Alara we're visible" as bullets bounce harmlesly off the hull. Alara presses a button and says "Kitan to Orville the pickle jar is open Captain" the voice of Captain Ed Mercer comes over the comm "Roger that, helm drop out of the clouds", the orville then drops out of the low clouds above the palace and hovers at about 1,000 feat in the air, the security personele on the ground look up in awe as the shuttle docks in the starship. As they are walking though the hallways to the bridge Len says "How the hell has Mi6 been keeping this under wraps" Alara then replies "we're from the 25th century we were sucked into a spacial anomoly", Cyrus then says as the group qickens their pace "So I guess the temporal prime directive is just chucked out the air lock on this ship" Helena raised an eye and looks at him and he sarcasticly says while doing jazz hands "I'm a Star Trek fan ooooooooo, the get to the bridge Alara, and Gordon take their stations at the security console, and the helm respectively as the royal family looks on in total awe. "Gordon take us back in to the clouds" the ship then rises up. "I know this is a starship but I'd rather hide on Earth", "Captain" says Commander Kelly Greyson who is seated right next to Ed then says "the only place we can hide this ship on Earth is... The Marianas Trench, the royal famliy look at eachother uneasy as the don't look forward to spending time on the bottom of the ocean. Ed then commands "Gordon make it so, as steathaly as possible." Gordon complies and the ship is off to the trench.

The Orville has been at the bottom of the Marianas Trence for about a day after rescuing, Liam, Len, Jasper, Helena, and Cyrus from the police that King Robert had sent to arrest the.

The Royals enter Captain Mercer's (Mercer/Ed) spacious quarters to meet with the command crew of the Orville, "Captain thank you for the rescue, but one thing has been puzzling me, if your from the 25th centrury what are you doing here?" Mercer sighs and says "a very good question, we were persuing a criminal from our time who led us through an anomaly, and here we are". Cyrus then interjects and says "what about changing the timeline, isnt that important in the 25th century?" Liam looks at Cyrus and says "only you could complain about being rescued to the people who risked their lives to do it" Mercer then rasies his hand in obection and says "no it is a fair question, and yes preservation of the timeline is very important to us, the criminal we are presuing changed the past we detected this as we were coming through the wormhole, In this new time line your bid to overthrown King Robert failed, he exiled most of you, except for you princess, in this new timeline he kept you confined to the palace only bringing you out during offical functions, to show you off as he made you practice eticut everyday" Len tears up and says "all this time I looked up to him, I thought he was the best of all of us" Helena hugs Len and says "honey we all did, I'm starting to think that your father wanted to disband the monarchy because of Robert", Liam stands up looks at "Mum, Robert might have had dad fooled too", Helena with her are around Len's shoulders says knows what Liam is trying to say and responds with "your father was the most perseptive man I've even known, He would have seen right throug Robert, and have seen that you and your sister despite all of the partying you did she looks with a smile at both Liam and Len, he knew that you were good people at heart, and that the people of the United Kingdom would be your top priority." Len looks up at Helena and kisses her on the cheek and says "Thanks mum, I think he could tell that about you too" Helena smiles and turns to Len and then says something that Len thought she would never say "Eleanor you and Jasper I've seen this kind of love before, its the love that Allister and I had for each other, what Im trying to say is we're on a ship with a captain".

Len's beautiful smile comes out she goes over to Jasper who is having a drink with Cyrus, and Captain Mercer, She says to them gentlemen I need to speak to my boyfriend for a minute. Cyrus and mercer hapily comply though Cyrus says to Len and Jasper and jokingly says "no snoging in the Captain's quaters" Len and Jasper who have eachother in a romantic glare at Cyrus, Mercer interjects with I don't mind snog all you want", He then puts his arm around Cyrus's shoulders as they walk aways and says "you know Cyrus I know a talking dog on Brianus Prime who you would get a long with very well, he's got the same sense of humor you do." Len and Jasper kiss deeply and then len says "my mum just said something I never thought she would say, she said we have the same type of love that she and her boyfriend Allister did" Jasper interups and says "your mom and that Captain Lacy guy, " they still have eachother in an embrace and Eleanor quizicly says "Is that important" Jasper shakes his head smiling. Len then wispers in his ear "Mum reminded me that we're on a ship with a captain..." before she can say anything more Jasper says "Yes, a million times yes, you're the best thing that has ever and will ever happen to me", Len then says "You are that to me too, we've fought through everything together, even when I had you arrested, you still never gave up on me, if your ready lets go ask Mercer." They walk up to Mercer and ask "Captain" and he replys happily "I'm off duty please call me Ed", "Thank you Ed, can captains in the 25th century still preform marriges" everone in the room look at her and Jasper, Liam espesisaly looking at his sister with an excited and supportive smile, "yes we absolutly can", the rest of the command crew including Lt. Commanders Bortus and Jon Lamar, who have been in attenance in the captains quarters look excited at the prospect of a royal wedding on the ship. "Alara, please tak Mr. Frost and her highness to the synathizer room" Alara walks up to them and happily says come with me as she knows their minds are about to be blown. as their walking out Len turns around and says "Oh Ed as of yesterday I'm off duty as well please call me Len" Ed smiles, Len then rejoins Alara and Jasper as they go on their way.

As they enter the syntasziser room no one else is using it, "Watch this" says Alara as presses a button and orders "Computer, one football" Len looks amazed, Jasper does as well thinking these machines were only for food and drink, Alara then says "No computer, rest of the world footbal please" a traditional English football replaces the egg shaped American one. Alara smiles and looks at them as she says "You guys can order any type of clothing that you want for the wedding, but Japser I'll escort you to the room next door, the groom can't see the bride before the wedding" she and Jasper leave the room, Len thinks to her self a black dress, no I'm gonna surprise mum, "Compter one strapless white gown with vail" she then customizes it a bit to match her style. In the coridor outside Alara waits and hears over her commscanner "Greyson (Kelly) to Kitan", Alara brings the device close to her mouth "Kitan Here", "Please ask the happy couple if they would like to pick their wedding venue, or would like to be supprised" Kelly asks, "Yes mam" Alara happily says.

Both Len and Jasper say surprised, and also request all off duty personel be able to attend, Alara informs Len "as you would be a great representitive of the people you might want the people there as well" Len looks at her puzzled and says "I thought we were hiding on the bottom of the ocean, how many people?" Alara replies "oh about 72,000." Len closes her eyes and laughs reopens them and then says "Alara this ship is huge but I doubt 72,000 could fit on here." Alara sits with Len and puts a hand on her shoulder smiles and says "dont worry about that, and thank you for refering to the Orville as huge, shes really a mid-level exploration ship." Just then Helena enters the room Len stands and Helena looking shocked at her daughter's choice of dress says "Eleanor" nearly in tears pausing before saying "You shine like a diamond... my little girl is getting married!" Len walks over and hugs her mother and says "Mum... thank you, I wanted you to see me like this at least once in our lives," Helena reminds its not the dress its the person in it that she cares about but thanks her for the surprise. They take an elevator to a lower deck wher Cyrus and Liam wait for them. "He's waiting for you" alara says, "Alara you go on in I need to speak to my family", Alara smiles, she walks through the door which opens to a black tarp hallway and the door closes, Len looks at her family individualy and says, "Mum you have grown so much since dad died I know he would be proud to be your husband, you continue to inspre me everyday, and are the reason I know that I can be strong" she turns to Cyrus and says "Uncle Cyrus, you and I have been at odds for much of the past few years, but I only choose to remember the good times, and by the way thanks for the weed" she turns to Liam and says "Liam my older brother by a few minutes, my partner in crime since day, my voice of sanity through all my benders and beyond, I love you more than you will ever know." She then says I wish dad was here, Liam hugs her and says "Lenni he is here, he's proud of the woman you have become, and he's proud of you for taking his advice" they separate, Len looks at Liam and says "advice" Liam smiles and says "choose love", they both smile and hug again she then looks at her family and says "Well we've been through all this that's been going on since dad died, and even though he's here with us, you bet your candy asses all of you are walking me down that isle." The all enter the door which is to the simulator room and walk down the hall and are astonished at what they see.

72,000 of her people although holograpic have filled a perfect representation of old Wembley Stadium, and the stage set up looks familiar, Liam, Cyrus, and Helena are all smiles as they walk Len across the stage to her soon to be husband as an electric guitar verson of here comes the bride plays. They go to take their seats and Len shouts "Where the hell are you going", Helena, Cyrus and Liam, barrly hear her over the crowd, she motions for them to come back and then says, "you're all up here we're a bloody team, us and", she looks at Jasper and says "The most wonderful thing in the universe, we may have exploded at first but we became the brightest star that ever existed", Jasper smiles and looks into her eyes no words need to be said, She then says "I'm having a best man, Liam thats you" the family lines up behind Len with Liam first, and then Ed begins the ceremony, Len and Jasper exchange vows even though none are needed, Ed then asks for the rings, and they look at each other as they have none and Ed says "Screw it, Jasper Frost do you take Eleanor Henstridge to be your lawfuly wedded wife?" Jasper smiles at Len and says "If its not already obvious... I do", Len has tears in her eyes as Ed asks her the same about Jasper "I've never been more certine about anything in my life, I do" Len says as she smiles through tears. "Then with the power vested in me by the Planetary Union I now pronounce you Husband and wife, they don't even wait before they are already in a deeply passionate kiss."

Just then a holographic representation of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson comes on the stage grabs a mic and says "Finally The Rock has come back to London", he looks at the newly wedded couple and and says "but thats not why im here, as the peoples champion im here to ask... Len, Jasper how would you feel about having your first dance right here for the people", they both smile and say absolutly yes, The people cheer even louder than when the I do's were exchanged, then The Rock says in a jovial "Ladies and gentlemen here to preform this happy couple's first dance HER MAJESTY" Helena has an expression on her face like what?! The Rock yells QUEEEEEEN. Helena's expression turns to joy as Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon run past her, Cyrus, and Liam, they all cheer. The most legendary band in history take instraments that have just materialzed, and Freddie goes up to the mic with a white guitar and says "Your higness, Mr. Frost this song is dedicated to you" Len and Jasper are ready to dance as Freddie begins playing Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The first dance goes perfectly but then Len has one request, she asked the band if they would mind if she did a duet with her husband, they are all for it, she unscrews the mic stand walks over to Jasper and says into the the mic "Deaccy give us a baseline", he obliges with a familiar beat Jasper and Len both hold the mic stand and sing Under Pressure for the people. The royal family do a group hug with Len and their newest member, they leave the simulator room leave the simulator room as one, following the newly wedded couple of course, outside Ed tells them that he's arranged a private dinner for the family at the Orville's onboard resturant Moska's, Len and Jasper request that Ed and his officers even the robotic Kaylon called Issac join them. After a succesful dinner Len and Len say their goodbyes and then Len says to Jasper "are you going to carry me over the threshhold to our quarters?", Jasper puts his arm around Len and says jokingly "Do you trust me princess", she says to him "with my life and my and all of my heart", he replies as the two walk down the corridor "those are the best words I have ever heard." Liam, Helena Cyrus, Ed and Gordon are still at Moska's when Liam asks "Today has been the most perfect day our family has ever had, thank you." "It's no problem, and I hooked them up with the simulator room for like the next 30 hours", says Gordon Malloy "oh no what did you do" ask Ed, "Switzerland" replies Gordon, "Good, with that said every one should relax we will reconvine in my quarters in 36 hours, then we will start planning the over throw of Robert.

Outside of the simulator room Len says to Jasper "are we really gonna bang in front of 72,000", Jasper facepalms, and says "its a simulator room princess, it can be anything" he sweeps her off her feet and carries her in his arms they both share a kiss then Len playfully asks "Thats gonna be my nickname with you until the end of time isn't it?" Jasper looks at her an says "I love it when you're right, shall we" Len replies "we shall", Jasper carries her across the threshold of the simulator room, and into a spacious chalet pearched on a mountian top in the Swiss Alps. An instramental version of If There Was a Man by The Pretenders starts to play "you can set me down this is amazing", "thank you Lt. Malloy" Jasper says in astonishment the door shuts behind them, they see a bearskin rug, Corinthian Leather furnature a fire place, "let me show you my addition to the program" he takes her upstairs and shows her a room with windows that overlook the valley below where some lights show the blue water in the river below, "I've never seen water this blue" she says, Jasper standing behind her puts his arms around to the front of her stomach and whispers "Liam would probably let us live in Switzerland, if he becomes King you know", she takes his hands, they stand there for a minute and then the go to the bedroom and straight through to the spacious bathroom complete with a Scarface style bathtub and 2 bottles of Dom Perignon 1921 chilling on the side, they both disrobe Jasper presses a button and a bubble bath fills the tub. "This is not water" Len says stepping in the 4ft deep tub, "I programed it for champagne" he says as the both sit along the inside wall of the tube they start making out, "Kinky I love it" says Len, Jasper says "watch this" and he presses a button on a tub side synthisizer and says "computer one cannibis eddible" and a chocolate weed brownie appears. Len tilts her head and asks "why just one". Jasper holds it longways inbetween them, they both eat it from the opposit side and meet in a kiss, she then looks deeply into his eyes and says "you know me well... I love you Mr. Frost", "and I Love you, Mrs. Frost" he replies. Len proceeds to sit on Jasper's lap wraping him up with her legs going around to his lower back, and her hands around to the back of his head they both deeply and passonatly kiss and consumate their marriage, the high from the eddible and the champagne they are in makes it all the more pleasurable. all of the sudden Jasper hears a pop from behind his head and feels champagne pouring on his head "do you know how rare that vintage is" he asks, "On this ship... not at all" she replies in way that only she can. They both try drinking from the bottle together which fails so they pour it over them selves and kiss the little dropplets of champagne off each others lips. She then splashes him and with a smile a mile wide he says "you started it princess" as he begins to swim at her splashing her and she responds the same way.
