"And you're sure that wasn't the truth? Of Jack and Rose, I mean, that they weren't real?", Skyler asked as George shrugged his shoulders, "Who's to say? I'm not sure there was a couple like them almost exactly, but I'm positive there were plenty like them in the past. Love not bound by class or distance...".
Skyler then exhaled, "Or appearance...", and George smiled, "Yeah.", looking at her warmly, and she smiled, "Are you going to work tomorrow again?", not wanting to be in the precinct tomorrow as she wanted to watch movies like this with him. It feels like so...so personal and like he said, enjoying each other's company, and it also felt...right as well...
George shook his head with a chuckle, "Nope. I managed to get a temporary captain as I told them I had thousands of vacation days still waiting to be used, and I went for a month, just in case this takes a while than a day, you know?", still fighting the desire as she was now straddling him to face him, and he is slowly getting hard.
Skyler smiled, "That's brilliant thinking, George. Can we watch another movie, stay up late? I really like this date.", and George gulped shakily, "I can stay up late, but I don't think I can focus on watching another movie...".
"Why not?", Skyler asked naively, and George exhaled, "Because I don't want to scare you with how much desire I am having right now...", shocked that Skyler is incredibly making him so attracted to her this quickly...Not even his ex-wife came this close to attracting him as it took longer for him to get attracted to her, but with Skyler, it just happened...like it was natural...
Skyler blushed, well, as best as she could upon hearing that before she looked away. "I'm sorry.", George apologized. "I didn't mean to be that forward with you like that...".
Skyler shook her head, "That's not it...I mean, I am glad I am making myself desirable, but I'm sorry that I'm not human nor having the works inside me...I only eat, sleep, have emotions, and live, but...I wish I could mate you the human way as it looked so much more interesting than just making copies with no love or anything, just instinct...", with a heavy sigh...Skyler was enraptured by the sex scene in the Titanic, along with the drawing scene of Rose.
"It's... it's alright...", George whispered as he gently ran a hand on her shoulder. He really didn't know what to say next to help though, as he was afraid of making her feel even worse with whatever he might add. It was true though in some ways... her not being human certainly made things difficult for the both of them in terms of a relationship.
After a few moments, George then found something to say, "Doesn't mean that you can't learn how I..I tick down there...Do you want me to teach you those things?".
Skyler bit her alien lips gently before whispering, "Could you compromise in being almost nude, only in your boxers, and watch another movie before we just sleep?", mixing the idea of being comfortable with the idea of just trying something new. She wants to feel his body warmth closer, and if being almost nude means extra blankets and extra cuddling, she'd be happy with his company, next to seeing how he looks like without his uniform...he's handsome in that uniform...
George smiled. "Of course, if that's what you want.", he whispered as she smiled and backed away to give him some room to quickly strip down. After thirty seconds, he was in his boxers and the two snuggled up once more before George searched for another movie for them to watch.
Skyler whispered softly, "Thank you, George...And don't think that I hate the fact about you being battle-scarred from the streets, the truth is that you look so dashing with them...".
George smiled warmly, "That means a lot, Skyler. My ex was more focused on the hospital bills for stitching me up sometimes than complimenting me...".
"That woman was a complainer bitch.", Skyler scoffed before smiling shyly, "I would always compliment you one way or another, George.".
"Thank you, Skyler... she did seem alright early on in our relationship... but, sometimes you just don't know what the future holds and things change. It did with her, but... she did make a few points...", George always hated to admit that, but it was the truth. "I was too focused on the job, caring about that more than family... Gwen thankfully changed that.".
Skyler kissed him on the cheek, "And look at us now. You come for dinner most times to the warehouse, and I was learning things through Onyx. I think Jasmine brought us together, and being Gwen's new family, it made sense to fight for them...Soon, we will be in a different place, yet I have you and you have me...".
"Yeah...", George sighed. "Of course, it'll be much more dangerous for sure...", with a nod. "We'll be alright... I'm fairly sure Jafar has no idea about us... there's an advantage for us.", Skyler assured him.
George chuckled, "You really are wise beyond your recent age.", and Skyler giggled, "Thank you. Let's watch a movie, Capt.".
"Certainly.", George smiled warmly before clicking the remote and picked a good, action movie, starting it up. The newfound couple snuggled, relaxed, and held each other, watching the movie. In an ironic twist, Skyler carried a slumbering George, not blaming him after a long day, and tucked herself by his side, falling asleep in George's bed.
They spent the next day like this, being lazy and all, and all too soon, it was dinner, and Onyx called Skyler that it was time.
Skyler sighed deeply, looking at George wearing a middle-class Arabic style in clothes, checking them against his reflection in the mirror. George exhaled, "Do I look alright?", before noticing Skyler's look, "Skyler?".
"It's time...we have to head down to the warehouse.", Skyler replied. George took a deep breath and nodded as Skyler gave a small smile. "And you look fine... the skin color might draw some attention but if you keep yourself mostly hidden, it shouldn't attract too much attention.", she explained as he nodded.
"Are you ready?", George asked as she nodded. "I'm as ready as you could be.", Skyler told him. George smiled at her, "Let's go then.", and Skyler then moved, melting, easing into George's body, to his back and head.
George walked, grabbing his keys, his holster and gun, figuring that Jafar wouldn't even know about guns or how effective they are. He swept his eyes over his apartment before taking a deep breath and locked the door, shutting down the lights and such.
He drove his civic car to the warehouse, and after checking the area, headed inside to see his new family waiting with looks of anticipation, anxiety, determination, worry, and hope, lots of hope as Skyler came out of him, walking aside.
"So... she's done it?", Those were George's first words to Gwen when they saw each other, referring to Onyx. "She has... she's fairly confident in that.", Gwen said as George took a deep breath. If that was the case, then now was the time to get his mind set on the task at hand.
Onyx partially emerged out of Jasmine, "To keep your minds sharp, and to make George safe, Skyler will have to fully merge with George.".
Skyler nodded, "Yes, creator.", shyly smiling at Onyx as she saw the bond between Skyler and George, and Onyx smiled, "Don't worry, George. We will retain all the good memories from being together once I and Skyler come merging after this mission is done, and I don't mind being Skyler Onyx Stacy or something.", with a nod.
George sighed in relief from hearing that with a blush at the last part, somehow not minding that, and glanced at Gwen sheepishly, "Your old man's in a relationship...".
Gwen's eyes widened, "You...? You and her?", She was quite stunned by the news. "Yeah, I hope you don't mind if that's the case...", George blushed as Gwen smiled.
"Dad, I never minded if you ever went out and dating other women... find maybe someone else... actually, I always kinda hoped you'd find happiness again that wasn't just being a father.", Gwen replied.
George exhaled happily, "Aww, come here and give your father one of your bear hugs.", and Gwen went over to hug him deeply, "You keep each other safe, okay?".
George kissed her on the forehead, "We will, love. And Gwen, don't put off the big night just because we're on a mission. I want you to be happy, and my Skyler will talk with Onyx every day of the progress, and she will tell you and the others how we're doing, okay?".
Gwen nodded, though she still was worried like the loving daughter she was, "Okay, Dad...". She hugged him tight again, though not too much she since she obviously didn't want to break anything.
"So, Onyx, are you absolutely certain you can be able to transport George and Skyler to Jasmine's world thanks to the curse's connection to Jafar?", Peter asked.
Onyx nodded, "Yes. Granted, it took me a long time to track after healing and all, but I created jump points, and Skyler will know my trace behind those jump points, yet the hardest part is to choose which path of the dark magic.".
Jean replied, "What do you mean?", and Onyx exhaled, "The final jump point will land Skyler and George to the final exit of the dark magic trace, but that's where it gets complicated. From what I can tell, one leads to Rajah, one leads to the magic carpet, one leads to the prison of the lamp, one leads to the spell that is somehow containing the citizens of Agrabah from ever leaving, and the final one leads to a strange container. I can't sense what's behind the container.".
"Container?", Peter looked to Jasmine as she shook her head. "I have no real idea what that could be. It might be something that Jafar holds close ever since I was sent away.", Jasmine said.
"I don't feel good about that container.", George admitted. "Not knowing what's behind it... could be a trap for all we know.".
Skyler replied, "We have people in the palace including the staff, Abu, the magic carpet...Rajah couldn't know as you said that he has been in the dungeons ever since Jafar took over, more or less, right?".
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah.", and George replied, "The prison of the lamp's traps would be really strong if humans tried over the years to get it out, in case if the rebellion is around in the staff as well.".
Jean replied, "And the spell over the town is a big one, so Jafar would definitely notice easily there...", and Onyx nodded, "That's my fear there.".
George nodded, "Then we will get to the magic carpet. It may be mutilated into a tapestry, but Carpet would have an idea...after you fix him, right, Skyler?", and Skyler hummed, "I see your point. Carpet is the best chance, and after I eat the dark magic from him, he should have his good magic back.".
"Might be our best chance... plus having something that can fly can get us out of a pinch quick too.", George added as Gwen had a little smirk there. Part of her really wishes it was her instead of him going, but this decision had been made for quite some time, too late now to change plans.
Peter exhaled, "Well, no more waiting now.", and Skyler nodded, glancing at George who smiled, "Ready when you are.". Skyler then took over his body, fully encasing him, and with care, the alien-man mashup shrunk down to its blob form, looking at Onyx.
Onyx then nodded, "Okay, Jasmine, take your shirt off part of the way, that way, they will track my trace and my jump points in and out from the remains of the scar.". Jasmine took a deep breath, and moved her shirt up, and indeed, after healing and everything, it's 95% gone, leaving the splinter of the scar, along with the dark magic that had been nestling at the splinter, not to make Jafar suspicious until it would be too late for him to hit back.
Gwen and the others waved to the blob who waved back before zipping off into the splinter, and with George in Skyler's mind and body, he's safe from the atmosphere across time and space as Skyler tracked Onyx's trace to the first jump point and took at least 3 days to travel the entire span of jump points, in their view while it took several hours in Earth time.
The next morning of their view, they found the exit of the dark magic trace, and Skyler remembered Onyx's memories of the different pathways, and found the pathway to Carpet, and after careful checking of the coast, seeing that it's night, deep nighttime, Skyler steadily emerged out of the dark magic trace on Carpet, bringing George out and back to human, standing very close.
George, having talked with Skyler over the past few days in their minds and such, silently kept an eye out while Skyler ate the dark magic off Carpet, delicately yet swiftly fixing the threads and bringing the remains of the good magic back into the sentient forces behind Carpet's ability to fly, understand, 'talk', and all.
Carpet woke up, wiggling in shock, awe, happiness, joy, as Skyler removed the strings, freeing Carpet to hover, shaking its 'head', and Skyler whispered to George, "Be a moment for him to recover.".
George nodded, watching Carpet in awe, having never seen a magic carpet before, and Carpet then hugged them in his own way, thanking them, and George chuckled, whispering, "You're welcome. We got sent from Jasmine.".
Carpet did a flip in joy and relief, and gestured with its tassels, and Skyler replied, "We're trying to destroy every piece of dark magic. Speaking of, do you know what the container is?".
Carpet seemed to shiver yet fume angrily, and gestured for them to follow, and the pair followed silently and carefully, crossing the throne room, glancing at the prison of the lamp on the snake throne, and they got to the archway of the entrance to the room, coming into the royal foyer, and Carpet pointed upwards as they got to a point where they can see, and their eyes widened in shock, horror, and disgust, for the container is a display window, with a plaque.
It is in Arabic, yet the object inside the display window is very much clear...It's the parts of the fallopian tubes and the ovaries, the lost eggs that belonged to Jasmine once upon a time.
"That... sick...", George tightened his fists as he growled with anger, practically on the verge of exploding upon learning of Jafar's twisted prize. "I can't believe even he would...".
"Jafar is a sick monster... one we will end soon.", Skyler said. "Right now, though, we must be careful...". Carpet wiggled his tassels, and Skyler blinked, "You sure?", and he nodded his 'head', and George spoke quietly, "What did he say?".
She whispered back, "Since he's not human, and strong enough to carry that, he's going to take it off without taking the glass out as there's a sensor alarm inside the glass to alert Jafar, and we can't risk being caught here.".
George exhaled deeply, "You better help him as you're alien. Advantage we got.", with a smile, and Skyler smiled, nodding, and Carpet went to her, carrying her up as George watched both sides of the archway.
Skyler ate the hooks, metal hatches, and happily destroyed the plague by eating it eagerly, while stretching her arms to pull it into Carpet's back, as he cradled it with care.
They headed lower and lower to the floor, with Skyler getting off, whispering, "You wait just besides the window, Carpet. We'll be right there.", and Carpet nodded, flying carefully with its load.
Skyler exhaled, "We can't afford to get the lamp, so we need more allies. We need Abu and Rajah.", and George whispered, "But the palace is huge.".
"Not for me. I have the layout of the palace and Jasmine's memories.", Skyler grinned, and George nodded before Skyler then emerged back into him, carefully suppressing into an owl, a puff owl with silent wings, flying amongst the ceilings, checking every room before they found Iago's room, fancy for a talking parrot, with all the bells and whistles he could want, and they saw Abu locked in a birdcage, looking depressed and miserable as Iago is snoring on an oversized, fluffy pillow.
They flew down near the doorway, separating back into their true bodies, and Skylar whispered, "No gun. Just snap his neck while I eat the lock off Abu's cage, got it?".
"Can do that...", George nodded. "You better be quick though... to get back to me in case he's a light sleeper. If he sounds the alarm, we're going to have to find a hiding place or fly away in a hurry.". Skyler nodded as she moved for the lock while George quietly walked up to Iago. This parrot took pleasure in Jasmine's torture, so what he was going to get is all that he deserved.
