George kissed her on the cheek, "Jasmine doesn't deserve to see a dead body in the throne room, even if it was Cassim...They deserve to be in the gardens, and you saw Jasmine, and all...She barely had time to grieve for her father and Aladdin, and with Jafar disrespecting tradition and all, and even with the last several years of getting over it, Jasmine would appreciate it, to honor tradition of her people, to give peace with it at last.".
"I know she'll be happy at least that it's all over... that Jafar is gone, and peace has returned to her former kingdom.", Skyler sighed as George nodded. "I be Onyx is letting her know right now...", he said.
Skyler smiled softly, "She is.", before hearing excited chitters, seeing a normal-sized tiger walk into the throne room, skinny and having marks of chains, and Skyler spoke, "Rajah? Don't worry, Jasmine is coming home soon...".
Rajah gave a chuff as he went to one of the sunning spots, soaking in the warmth, and George exhaled, "He spent so long in the darkness, didn't he?".
Skyler replied, "He has...He said that he hated being a monster, that he's tired...", and George frowned, "Is he...".
"No. He's just tired and from the state of him, he would need lots of time and care to get back to his old self.", Skyler replied, and George nodded. Meanwhile, Onyx is hating herself to interrupt Jasmine's lovemaking time with Peter in the bed while Jean and Gwen are on patrol and awaited a few minutes until Jasmine is basking in the afterglow of her and Peter's release.
After checking on the fetuses like usual, Onyx nudged for Jasmine's attention. Jasmine blinked in surprise to feel Onyx's nudge, and Peter noticed, "Jasmine?", as he's holding her in his arms, face to face.
"I don't... Onyx?", Jasmine whispered as she moved out of Peter's embrace to sit up. "Onyx, is something wrong?", she asked as the being took form once more with a warm smile on her face, "No, actually, far from it... but I thought you should know as soon as possible that it's over... Jafar is dead.".
Jasmine gasped, eyes starting to tear up, "T-truly?", as Peter sat up, resting a hand on her shoulder, and Onyx nodded, "Yes.".
"I'm home free...Peter, please tell me that you heard her too...", Jasmine whispered, tears falling, and Peter smiled reassuringly, "I heard her, Jasmine...You're truly free of Jafar...", kissing her tears away.
It had felt so long to hear that news... so many dark days and the worry that it would never end, that she would never be free... or that Jafar might come back to finish the job. But to hear the news that he was gone, that she was free... it was almost too much for her all at once.
Peter held her as she happily cried into his shoulder, and Onyx patiently smiled, knowing that she needed to let it out, and after several minutes, Jasmine managed to speak, "And Genie and the others?".
"Genie is overjoyed to have new friends, and he, not a wish, but he was finding your father and Aladdin's bodies, to bring them to the royal gardens, along with Aladdin's father, as George said that you would have an idea where to give them the rest they need near your mother's resting place...Abu and Carpet is all right, and Rajah, he's looking skinny and having scars from the chains, but he's relieved that he's free.", Onyx softly replied.
Jasmine nodded as she took a few deep breaths, "Yes... I think... I think that it might be best for them to be buried next to my mother. I think Aladdin and his father have earned that-". She suddenly stopped talking for a few moments before speaking, "Wait... Aladdin's father didn't make it?".
Onyx gave a sad smile, "Jafar, in his last moments, had made his snake throne into a huge cobra, and it went for the closest human in sight which was George, and Cassim pushed him away, taking his place, sacrificing his life, and the next moment, Skyler and George had killed Jafar, and went to surround Cassim, and he didn't want to be saved as he felt he waited long enough, and he missed his wife and son far too long...".
Jasmine gave a sad nod. Gwen certainly would want to probably know that her father had been saved by Cassim, or maybe keep that one to themselves since it would freak her out of how close she nearly lost him.
Onyx sighed before smiling gently, "The kingdom voted to come to our world. It will be soon, and you will be home...", and Jasmine's eyes widened, smiling happily to hear that, and whispered softly, "I'm ready...".
Onyx nodded, "I'll tell her.", before absorbing back into Jasmine's body, and Peter smiled, "Looks like we might have a big Christmas reunion.".
Jasmine smiled at him, kissing him deeply before exhaling, "Let's get cleaned up and call for the others to come home...I think they can cut patrol just once, eh?", and Peter chuckled, "Sounds good to me.", before sweeping her up, taking her to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Genie returned to the throne room, smiling sadly, "Okay, got them resting in the gardens, waiting for the burial traditions, and they're in the shade as well.", and Skyler smiled, "Good. I and George will share you, okay?".
Genie blinked in surprise before nodding, "Okay.", and Skyler glanced at George who nodded, giving her a parchment paper, and Skyler took a deep breath before speaking, "I wish for you to do what I wrote here on this paper.", giving it to Genie who wore reading glasses instantly, reading.
'I wish Agrabah is taken to Jasmine's new world where I and George Stacy lives in, to be hidden as a country on an island in the Pacific Ocean, to have dark magic all forbidden from Agrabah, to be available to Jasmine and her new family with a way to visit every day by good magic, to reinstate Jasmine's title as royal princess again, to abolish the old laws and Jafar's laws of Agrabah, and finally, Agrabah to be self-sufficient.'
"Certainly thought this one out...", Genie said as Skyler nodded. "Wanted to take little to chance, a misrepresentation or anything... the people have suffered enough, last thing anyone needs is severe culture shock that will end up causing more loss of life.", Skyler said.
Genie nodded, "That is very true. Good thing that I got phenomenal cosmic powers. Alright, hold on, this is going to be a ditzy!", with a big grin, along with both serious determination yet overjoyed glee in his eyes.
"I hope everyone else is ready too...", George whispered as Skyler smiled. "If the wish goes exactly as we wrote it, they won't know too much of a difference.", she said.
The world began to spin around... well, more of the sky around Agrabah spun rapidly as if the kingdom was peacefully stationary while on an extremely fast centrifuge. It only lasted for a few moments before things calmed down once more, the sun suddenly shifted places as it went from morning to late in the afternoon. The kingdom suddenly found itself on the middle of a large island; very large rivaling the size of several of the New England states; Agrabah sat in the middle, with some of the desert around it now gone, replaced by dry grassy plains and a few rivers leading to it.
Skyler and George walked to the balcony in front of the throne room, and George widened his eyes, "Wow, incredible...", and Genie chuckled as he floated alongside them, with Rajah, Abu, and Carpet enjoying the view.
"Agrabah's mountains are still behind us, and in the north behind the mountains is one of the harbors, and in the east beyond the plains is the desert, with the oasis in the middle of the desert, and on the east edge is another harbor, and in the west, beyond the plains is a forest, and on the west edge is another harbor, while the rest of the borders are beaches or rocky cliffs. We are somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, above the nation of Hawaii, hidden away from the world.", Genie replied.
Skyler exhaled, "This is more than enough to help Agrabah be prosperous and self-sufficient...You did amazing, Genie...", smiling happily at Genie.
"It's been too long since I was able to use my powers for good... that's for sure... been too long since I was able to use them at all actually...", Genie admitted.
George smiled warmly, "You haven't grown rusty at all, Genie...And for the rest of the wish?", and Genie chuckled, "The old laws and Jafar's laws are all booted out, the entire island forbids all dark magic, and Jasmine has her old title back; Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, royal heir to the kingdom, and there's a way for her and her new family to come here via magic every day...", sensing Jasmine's soul over in New York City.
He blinked in surprise, "I see...Three lovers, and oh, by Allah, she's expecting?!", and George took the lamp gently, "Genie, I know you want to tell her, but she deserves to be surprised in the biggest way possible.", taking a deep breath before speaking, "I wish Jasmine's pregnancy is kept secret, for the child or children to grow healthy, strong, and alive, all the way, until the first moment of birth, with only Skyler Onyx Stacy and I, and yourself knowing.".
Genie had a somewhat reluctant look upon that one, but his imprisonment compelled him to go along with it before he snapped his fingers. "It's done...", he said.
"I know, I know, maybe it's better that they know sooner and all, but... after all what Jasmine had gone through, the surprise might be better.", Skyler replied.
Genie replied, "That's a very good argument there...After all, she suffered so much at Jafar's hands. Well, at least, it will be a short term of six months as the kiddos are kittens in a way.".
George smiled, knowing how he feels as Skyler told him last week of the fact that Jasmine's expecting more than one, but not exactly the amount, and being kittens in a way, and with love and magic, the children will be able to grow to full term in a way to survive outside in the world and live.
Skyler then asked, "What way do you have for Jasmine and the others to come here?", and Genie grinned happily as he went to one of the arch entrances into the throne room, and touched the wall, with a latch lever appearing with labels, 'Agrabah', and 'Warehouse home', pushing the lever down, turning the Arabic architecture and view of the hallway into the warehouse architecture and view of the second floor hallway.
"Hmm... that's interesting.", Skyler said as George looked to Genie. "So... if I just walk through there... I could already be back in New York?", he asked.
Genie nodded with a smile, "Yep! Give it a try!", and George smiled, kissing Skyler on the cheek before stepping through the magical portal and blinked as he was just stepping into the warehouse like normal and turned around to see Genie and Skyler looking at him, and he chuckled, "Looks like it works.", before hearing a call-shout, "Daddy!".
He turned around and Gwen was in front of him immediately, tears falling with an overjoyed smile, and he smiled, "Hey, starlight.", and Gwen hugged him instantly, "Daddy.", as he wrapped her in his arms.
"Hey... I'm alright...", George told her as she had a fairly tight grip on him as he patted her back. After a few moments, she eased up when she realized she might have been hugging him too tight.
"Sorry...", Gwen apologized. "It's alright, Gwen... I'm glad to see you doing okay.", George chuckled.
Gwen smiled happily as she glanced back at Peter and the others arriving, and Jasmine gasped in joy, tears swelling as she saw Genie, "Genie...", and Genie smiled at her, "Hey, Jasi.", and George gestured, "Come on, this is safe.", before walking back through the magical portal, looking back at the family, and Jasmine ran instantly, through the portal, and hugging Genie, as Onyx appeared out, standing by Jean and Peter, as Gwen couldn't stop hugging George.
Genie smiled warmly, "Welcome home, Princess Jasmine.", as he hugged his long-lost friend, happy to reunite with her as Abu excitedly did leaps, with Carpet hovering happily, with Rajah sitting with a rumbling purr.
Jasmine really didn't know who to say hi to first... but decided on her oldest friend and went to Rajah. "Oh, Rajah... you look awful...", Jasmine whispered as she gently brushed his cheek, "I know Jafar made you do terrible things...".
Rajah chuffed softly, headbutting her hand, purring, and Onyx replied, "He says that it isn't your fault. He missed you a lot, and he didn't like being a monster cat...".
Jasmine hugged Rajah, "Oh, I missed you so much too, Rajah...Don't worry, we will take care of you...Plenty of water, food, and sunlight for you...It will take a long time, but you will be back to your old self, I promise.".
Rajah smiled at her, licking her arm, and nuzzled her, and Jasmine smiled back, "I'll be visiting every day from now on, and we'll do our games again, Rajah.", before hesitantly leaving him, and smiled as she hugged Abu, "Oh, Abu, are you alright?...".
Abu chittered happily as he hugged her, and Genie chuckled, "He got plenty of rest, food, and all thanks to George and Skyler, and he's just happy to be alive, to see you again, and he promises to be a friend for you since he knew Aladdin would want you to be happy.".
"Don't worry... they'll be well cared for by all of us.", Peter assured as Abu chittered in relief. "Of course, we'll have to make sure none of you really get out in New York less the Bronx Zoo thinks there's been a jailbreak.".
Carpet then spun around Jasmine, hugging her by the shoulders with his tassels, and Jasmine laughed warmly, "I missed you too, Carpet! I thought you were lost since Jafar made you into a tapestry...", and Carpet waved his tassels at Skyler, and she chuckled, "I stitched him back together, and had to eat the dark magic for the good magic to come back. He'd been a great transportation helper, and a fabulous friend.".
Carpet acted like he was blushing, and Jasmine smiled, "Well, you can still do that anytime, Carpet.", and Carpet clapped his tassels. Genie chuckled, "Well, that leaves two wishes left each for you two, Skyler and George.".
Skyler smiled at George, holding the lamp in her hands, and exhaled, "Genie, is it possible for you to de-age a person?", and Genie nodded, "Indeed.".
George exhaled, "I am reaching 45 years old while Gwen here, my adopted daughter is turning 17 next month.", and Genie blinked, looking between George and Gwen, and then asked Gwen, "How old were you when he adopted you?".
"Probably a year old or so since I wasn't obviously a newborn when Dad found me...", Gwen said, and George nodded, "Yeah, that is right. She didn't need newborn milk or anything like that. She was already crawling and everything.".
Genie hummed, clicking his hands, doing some math on a calculator, and then nodded, "I can make George physically 13 years younger, making him 32 years old, is that alright?".
"Yeah, I think that would be fine. I only look about late 30s, early 40s, it wouldn't be too noticeable. If anyone asks, I can just say that Gwen's using me as a Guinea pig for some new products she's bought.", George chuckled.
Gwen giggled, "That sounds believable, alright.", before Skyler nodded, taking a deep breath, "Genie, I wish for you to de-age George Stacy physically 13 years back to his 32-year-old body.".
Genie then clicked his hands, opening a pantry that floated besides him, "Animal, no, bird, no, human, immortality, no, older, no, ah, de-aging, 10, 11, 12, ah, 13!", taking out a potion bottle of white-green liquid, "Here, George, drink it, and it will be instant, and don't worry about the taste, I made it to taste like tea in a way. Thousands of years to make those potions perfect, indeed.".
"Alright then... here goes nothing...", George said as Gwen rolled her eyes when he was staring at it for a few moments. "Come on, Dad, it's not going to hurt you...", she chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Okay, okay...".
George looked at Skyler who smiled at him, and he remembered last night's conversation, and smiled, and took a deep breath, and removed the stopper, and took it in one shot.
It didn't take George long to finish it all before everything went quiet for a few moments. George took a deep breath, the nagging feeling in his mind about asking how long it would take to work was on the tip of his tongue, but he held it. He felt the need to stretch and did so while hearing his joints popping and feeling a small rush of energy that he had some years ago.
The others saw quite a few wrinkles vanish away, his cheekbones and neck gaining back some youthful fat, and his dark brown hair got a bit fuller, a tad taller now, and his hazel eyes got a bit more youthful shine, yet wise and mature still, and his body itself is a bit more agile.
