George said, "We have a way of voting in our world, and here under Jafar's nose, you and all of Agrabah are free to vote.". Cassim thought about that for a bit as he sighed, "You'll forgive us if this is something that we might wish to think about.".
"I don't blame you... it's a huge decision after all.", George nodded. "Sorry, we don't mean to keep adding on to what you already have in terms of the monumental tasks at hand.".
Cassim smiled gently, "It's alright, George. It's nice that you two aren't selfish, thinking of the kingdom's happiness, it's far more than Jafar has done, or even the old Sultan, Allah bless his soul. Well, I best leave you two alone then. I bid you a good evening, and I will knock if there's any news in the morning or such.".
"Thank you.", Skyler said as Cassim bowed and left, leaving them alone once more. "Certainly quite the plan they've already thought of...", George sighed, returning to English as he relaxed.
Skyler nodded, turning to English, "Certainly...Did you see all those people? Those are practically the whole city!", and George chuckled, "I guess our triumphs has motivated the rebellion to gather more than it ever has before.", barely noticing that Carpet went to sleep on one of the rafters, and Abu headed to grab one of the pillows, going to sleep near the door as they walked in, seeing a small single-size bed...
George smiled sheepishly, "When he said that it isn't much, this is definitely snugger than Aladdin's apartment. Almost reminds me of New York's small apartments as my apartment was literally a condo...".
Skyler exhaled, smiling softly, "We literally had room to spread in your bed and the mats in Aladdin's apartment...", before glancing at him, "I can sleep on the floor...I slept in a container for two years...", remembering that moment she ruined George's desire by wishing to be a human...
As if George read her mind, he kissed her passionately, "Sky, you can sleep with me...Sure, it's not queen-size or anything, but I'm not upset...", and Skyler whispered, "But what if...you get the desire, and I can't do anything about it?".
"Skyler, look at me, no matter how hard my desire is, I won't leave you for the brothels or anything...I'm not Jafar or Rasoul...", George held her chin, making her to look at him in the eyes, and Skyler exhaled, before George whispered, "Do you know what my three wishes would be?".
Skyler shook her head, and George smiled at her, "My first wish would be about you...I would wish for you to be purely human, so you won't have to be hunted by Oscorp or anyone else ever again...".
"Really?", Skyler looked at him, surprised to hear that as it never crossed her mind that he might say something like that. "Really... that's obviously something you want to, don't you?", George nodded with a gentle smile.
Skyler's eyes swelled in tears, nodding, "Yes!", kissing him passionately with fervor, causing him to fall back on the bed, and George held her as they kissed before Skyler pulled back, smiling at him, whispering, "Do you know what my second wish would be after I or you wish us home?".
George whispered, "No... Tell me if you want to...", with a curious smile, and Skyler purred softly, "For you to be 10 years younger or more, so you can catch up with me, and any chance of grandchildren by Gwen...maybe children I would bear for you...", with a shy smile.
His eyes widen in surprise, having never thought of being younger...He remembered the three rules, well, four rules, if you count no more wishing for unlimited wishes...No killing anybody, no making anybody fall in love, and no bringing anybody back from the dead. There's no rules about de-aging...
And then for her to say that she wants to bear him children...George admits that he occasionally had the thought of adopting another child when Gwen was young, like a brother or sister for her, admittedly liking the thought of having a son.
He very much dearly loves his daughter...yet this for her to say it...Her second wish... "You'd really want me to sire your children?", George asked as she smiled.
"Very much so, George... let's be honest... we've gotten so very close these last few months... and I know I don't still fully know what it's like to be human, but...", Skyler replied. "But what?", George asked softly.
Skyler whispered, "The past few days, when I saw you risking your life to steal food and such for us, I realized that I didn't want to lose you...I was terrified of not confessing my love for you if you got killed by Jafar...The way Jack and Rose did when they were almost killed by Caledon and the freezing waters...", looking at George with an intense look, and continued on, "Or unable to get married to you, my captain...Be your confidante, best friend, partner, lover, and wife...", tears streaking down her face as she is realizing that she's being like Rose, but she doesn't want to be like Rose...
"Skyler...", George gently ran his finger across her cheek as he was trying to get her to stop. "Please... please don't cry... I hate seeing you like that...", he whispered.
Skyler sniffled, smiling a bit at him, "Sorry...First time I truly cried in love for you...", and George gently cleaned her tears away, realizing what she said in her confession, "You...you love me?".
"Yes, George...This place makes me so safe to tell you how I feel...Aladdin's place felt almost inappropriate to say it...", Skyler nodded softly, and George exhaled deeply, looking at her, his heart almost jumping in surprise, his mind whirling...
She is afraid to lose him at Jafar's hands, not wanting to see him die without knowing that she loves him, that she wants so badly to marry him, to be with him forever, for she loves him...
He then realizes that he never wanted to be selfish, to give her the happiness she deserves, to make that first wish to be true for her, to see her become human, to show her what it truly is like to be human, to give her his heart, to hold her in his arms without needing to hold back his desire, to love her without limits or boundaries...
He wrapped his arms around her gently, whispering lovingly, "I love you, Skyler, and I would fight for you, even if I must fight Jafar with my bare hands without my gun.", realizing that his belt and holster with his gun and bullets is digging into his side as he is laying on the bed.
"George...", Skyler whispered as she gently placed a hand on his cheek and just cuddled closer with him, feeling all was right with the world at that moment.
George smiled warmly as he gently removed his belt and gun holster/bullets, putting it on the tiny side table, and kissed her passionately as they cuddled closer, falling asleep.
The next three weeks were both wholesome yet busy, with figuring out the details of the plan, and the couple discovered that with Skyler encasing over George on Magic Carpet, they were able to bypass a weak spot in Jafar's shield spell, and 'borrowed' fireworks and candle cannons, realizing this would be the distraction for Jafar, for he'd be focused on working his dark magic on the attacking fireworks and candle cannons while after getting rid of the guards, the couple, along with Cassim, would get in seamlessly, and get to the throne room.
There certainly was great risk to the plan and would need almost perfect coordination which was much more difficult without the use of timed watches or instant communication like radios. But it was certainly the best plan that could be done with the fewest risks to the rebellion, the fewest causalities and the best chance to strike Jafar before he could truly regroup and unleash quite literally Hell.
Luckily, they got old-fashioned signals of flags and Carpet. And for the big question after Jafar's killed, the citizens secretly voted in the ruins, and with coordinated groups, like elders, women, men, teenagers to make the vote count easier.
The day before the big day, George and Skyler were enjoying lunch when a knock came, with Cassim's voice asking, "Permission to come in?".
"Sure.", Skyler said as Cassim came in. "Well, I hope you two will get plenty of rest tonight since everyone's ready to launch the strike tomorrow. So many years and it might be over by tomorrow night...", he sighed as George nodded.
"I'm sorry we obviously were unable to come sooner... maybe could have spared the lives of so many...", George admitted.
Cassim replied, "It's not your faults nor the princess' fault. Before Onyx and Skyler, this wouldn't have been possible to truly motivate the people to fight back against Jafar when we were honestly thinking that the princess was killed in her exile. It's very much wonderful to hear that she hasn't forgotten about Agrabah and that she's alive and well...".
"But?", Skyler asked curiously yet quietly. Cassim sighed deeply, "I came to tell you that the votes has been counted, and the people was happy to have their voices heard in this way, next to suggesting ideas.".
George exhaled, "They don't want to do anything with magic again after what Jafar did or am I wrong?".
"Well, few had said anything about that, I'll be honest. With what your stories told; magic is a fairly rare occurrence in the world you come from as it is in ours.", Cassim said. "Certainly, it's a little better considering apparently there are those who have the ability are actually ones that don't appear to abuse their powers.".
"It's true... there might be a few; one of whom, Dr. Strange, I believe the name was, he seems to have grand abilities but he's fairly isolated and keeps to himself for the most part. There's no place in our world where a magic user is a tyrant upon citizens unlike Jafar and Agrabah.", George explained.
Cassim nodded, and Skyler sighed softly, "Let's have it. How many said no, how many said yes, and how many said maybe or don't care?".
"Well... the numbers might be a bit off in some ways, but the vast majority of voted in favor of the idea... most felt that things would probably be better in the world that the Princess found herself in rather than staying here... the horrible reign of Jafar really has left a scar on the mentality of many Agrabahians.", Cassim said.
Skyler and George gasped in surprise, with George saying, "Truly?". Cassim nodded, "Indeed. So, whichever one of you, you can wish the kingdom to be transferred to your world...", and the duo looked at each other with smiles.
Skyler smiled at George, "That should be your first wish. The human wish will be the second one. I will use my first wish to make dark magic all forbidden from invading Agrabah ever again. And the second wish to make you younger.".
George chuckled, "Sounds good to me. I will make the first wish properly right. Wouldn't want the kingdom to get lost.". Cassim smiled, "That would be brilliant...You two truly are selfless.".
"Mostly do it out of love...", George rubbed the back of his neck. "For our families and Jasmine really has grown a lot on me.". Cassim chuckled, "Then I guess we shall count our blessings then for that.".
Skyler giggled, "We all need all the good fortune we can get.", smiling broadly, and George exhaled deeply before replying, "Let's go do the final checks on the plan.".
They agreed, with the duo grabbing final bites of their lunch, heading out of their room to the war room, with George exchanging a look with Cassim, and he nodded with a smile.
The trio walked on across the span of the ruins to the war room, turning a corner when they paused, with Skyler blinking in confusion to see practically the city standing everywhere, and she turned around, about to ask Cassim when her eyes widened, seeing George kneeling before her, holding up a beautiful flower.
"Skyler, I know we aren't religioned of anything, but if you want two weddings, with the first one here as I know you wouldn't want to lose me, but I can't promise that Jafar wouldn't kill me because he could, yet being married to the most wonderful, incredible woman, I will die a happy man...And on the chance that we win, when we get home, we can have the second one with all our family witnessing...All the same, would you marry a city-slicker, people-saving man like me?", George declared with a patient smile.
Skyler's eyes nearly started to water when she was seeing George, knowing what he was wanting to do before she smiled and kneeled down to wrap her arms around him tight, "Yes, George! I would be happy to marry you!". She started to cry with tears of joy. Hopefully what he said at first wouldn't come to fruition, that they'd succeed, and that Jafar would be dead before he could even attempt to harm anyone.
The city of people cheered, and Cassim smiled as George and Skyler got up, with George gently wiping her eyes away, and Cassim then cleared his throat, "If I may, do I have the honor of officiating the marriage?".
Skyler smiled brightly, "As you are the leader of the rebellion, you should have the honor of doing so.", as George smiled, "I wouldn't think of nobody else for our first wedding.".
Cassim nodded, "Then, ladies, hide the bride away!", and many of the young women twittered excitedly, coming closer to Skyler, and George smiled at her, "I'll see you soon...We don't have much as it's Agrabah, but I'm sure those ladies will make a princess out of you, even if you're already so beautiful to me, Sky...".
"George...", Skyler blushed before she was hurried away. "I get the honest feeling I might now be doing a bunch of these today since you've opened the gates.", Cassim said as George smirked, "Sorry... but I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry there... in case...".
"I guess that many are going to share the same idea as you.", Cassim nodded. George smiled softly, "Indeed, and I don't blame them...", before taking a deep breath, and Cassim chuckled, "Come on, I believe I have some fairly good pieces for you.", and George nodded, following Cassim through the open aisle of the huge crowd.
Onyx got the news from Skyler, and smiled, checking on the slowly growing fetuses for a moment before going to tell the others...From the sounds of it, the day of the battle will commence on Christmas Day if the timing is right, and she doesn't blame her creation...Onyx herself has been growing very hopeful to merge back with Skyler, and become Skyler Onyx, the first alien to become human, and the emotions and feelings, and memories of Skyler will be hers, and vice versa, in the merge before going for the wish to be human, and she will be forever George's special wife twice...
But first, she will have to wait and just pray that everything goes great for the battle, yet right now, she's just happy to have very strong echoes of her creation's joy, happiness, love, desire, and more.
Onyx emerged out of Jasmine's body, smiling as the family's having fun with building a gingerbread house, and Jasmine smiled, "Onyx, hey, any news from Skyler? The plan outfitted for the big day all good?".
"From the connection I have... it appears to be... we'll know soon enough if things went well... or poorly.", Onyx admitted.
"I assume that Skyler might be the only one to survive if things go bad?", Jasmine wondered. "Jafar wouldn't even remotely know what she is, and she could just disguise herself as the small black goo that you were once before, sneak onto Jafar and just... do any number of fatal things to his body and he wouldn't even know what had happened.".
"That's more or less the plan even if things go well. The best chance to kill Jafar with no one getting hurt is for her to quickly merge with him and kill him. As you said, any number of fatal actions. Brain hemorrhage, heart attack, cut off all air to his lungs... whatever keeps him from trying to use his powers to kill the rebels.", Onyx replied.
Peter muttered in disgust, "She must be feeling disgusted about that...I mean, Jafar is a pervert and bastard...", and Onyx nodded, "She hates that idea, but she will get as close as she can, especially when we cannot lose at all...But right now, she's currently busy, and I'm happy to somehow witness it in a way as I and she can't afford to lose George at all.".
"What do you mean, Onyx?", Gwen asked in confusion, and Onyx gave a delighted smile, "Your father proposed to 'us', and right now, your father and Skyler is getting married, for their first wedding, mind you.".
