Jean chuckled, "Wow, that is a fast-working potion.", and Genie smiled, "Told you.", and Skyler shared a look with Onyx, admiring George.
Genie conjured up a mirror, and George looked at his reflection, "Damn...I truly feel like 32 again...", with a awed smile, and Gwen smiled, "You look really great, Dad...".
George smiled, "Thanks, Gwen.", before seeing Skyler and Onyx looking at him with admiration, awe, happiness, and definitely desire and love. He walked to Skyler who gave him the lamp with a smile, and Onyx took a deep breath, "Well, this is it. Ready, my creation?".
Skyler nodded, "Ready, my creator.", before Onyx then absorbed into Skyler, becoming a bit more vibrant in color, a bit physically stronger, and having all the memories, feelings, and emotions altogether, and whispered lovingly to reassure George, "You look very handsome, my captain, my beloved husband, my George.", kissing him on the lips.
George smiled radiantly, "Thank you, Skyler...", before looking at Genie who vanished the potion pantry, asking, "Genie, can you change an alien into a human being?".
Genie nodded, "Yep. She's emotionally, mentally human, so I can change her into a pure human being.", before floating closer, "But to be fair, what do you want, Skyler?".
Skyler smiled, "I want to keep my eye color and my ink black color for my hair, otherwise, go for it, and oh, give me a nice sundress.", and Genie hummed, "That's a good start. Ready.", with a nod at George.
George looked at Skyler, kissing her deeply, and then stepped back, taking a deep breath, and spoke clearly, "Genie, I wish for my wife, Skyler Onyx Stacy, to be a true human woman inside and outside, with all her memories, feelings, and emotions, and her personality intact.".
Genie cracked his knuckles as he clearly started getting to work. "Alright then... this might be a bit tricky since I've never exactly worked on an alien, but give me a few...", he said as he quickly changed his look into that of a Euro fashion designer and grabbed Skyler before pulling her behind a screen he threw up as to hide her from the others as he worked.
It took several minutes before Genie came out behind the screen, "Done! Ready for the reveal, fam?". The others nodded, waiting in anticipation, especially George, and Genie grinned, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present you to the new and improved Skyler Onyx Stacy!", and he snapped his fingers to vanish the screen.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of Skyler as she looked down on herself, gently touching her hands, feeling true flesh and not more of her gelatinous physicality as she was before.
It almost felt odd to her in a way, to have a solid form. George's heart beats faster than before, his eyes sweeping over Skyler slowly.
She looks like she's 30 years old, her beautiful stormy dark blue eyes bright and her hair is ink black, wavy, having a bit of bangs to the sides, about mid-back length.
Wearing a lovely purple sundress, her body is stunning...Her skin tone is a dark coppery color, flawless, having a set of Class B breasts, strong shoulders, having slim hips, long, smooth legs, and cute feet.
Her face is also flawless, having a straight nose, heart-shaped lips, and full cheeks, and a short chin. "Skyler...", George whispered as her attention went back to him as she had a small smile on her face.
"George... how do I look?", Skyler asked as George walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her tight in a hug.
George looked at her, "Stunningly beautiful...I love you, my Skyler.", and Skyler blushed for the first time, smiling brightly, showing her wonderful white teeth, and whispered softly, "I love you too, my George.", before kissing him for the first time with her human lips tenderly.
It felt a lot like their first kiss and wedding kiss all in one at that moment as they enjoyed each other's presence for the next few moments, ignoring all those around them as they continued their embrace.
It lasted for a good minute before they had to part away for fresh air, and they smiled at each other lovingly before letting go, and Skyler looked at the others, "Well, where are my hugs?". The others laughed warmly as they joined in, hugging their technically newest member of the family.
The last obviously was saved for Gwen who waited before Skyler had her full attention on her. "So...", Skyler took a deep breath since this was a conversation that needed to be had. "Gwen... I understand if this might be a lot to deal with... me being married to your father and all... but-", she rubbed her arm as Gwen gave a small smile.
Gwen replied, "I don't know when I can say that word, but I am beyond happy to see my dad looking so much at peace with you, seeing him smiling with love for you, and since I am technically too old to be a flower girl, I'd love to walk you down the aisle for your second wedding, if that's okay?".
Skyler's eyes swelled with tears, "Oh, Gwen! Yes, I'd be so honored!", before opening her arms, and Gwen smiled happily, going in to hug her.
The two of them held the hug for a few moments before breaking apart as attention was turned back to Jasmine as she was observing the entry way that George and Skyler had used before.
Genie softly spoke as he touched Jasmine's shoulder, "Their caskets are in the shade in the gardens, waiting to be rested in.".
Jasmine took a deep breath and whispered, "Lead the way.", as Peter took her hand, with Jean taking her other hand, and Skyler nodded to Gwen, letting her go to Jasmine, resting her hand on Jasmine's back.
George sighed, holding Skyler's hand as they followed, with Rajah, Abu on Carpet by their sides. They walked through, before Jasmine could feel the familiar heat in the air of her home. She had finally made it back. She took a deep breath as Peter leaned close to her. "Welcome home, Jasmine...", he whispered as she kissed his cheek.
Jasmine gave a small smile, appreciating the feeling of truly being home at last...It's hard to believe that she wanted to run away from here when she hated being a prisoner and a princess so long ago, and now, she's ready to embrace her heritage, starting with a most difficult thing, burying her father and Aladdin, and his father, Cassim.
The group moved through the halls, making their way down towards the gardens where the deceased were waiting. After a few minutes, they finally arrived as some were in awe of the beauty that laid hidden in the palace, while Jasmine headed straight for the coffins. She was a few feet away when she took a deep breath; the regal one obviously was her father's.
"Hello, Father...", Jasmine spoke regally as she started tearing up, knowing she couldn't keep acting like a Princess there but rather being herself, the daughter of the man that was laying in rest. Her lovers went to be close to her as possible yet giving her space...
Jasmine shakily choked out, "Genie, could you have the people of Agrabah to witness this without intruding in a way, and don't let it be a culture shock like TV, okay?". Genie gently asked, "If I make the garden walls transparent, is that okay?".
"That'll be fine...", She said before she looked at him. "Wait... do I have to wish that? I mean... I don't exactly have your lamp...".
Genie smiled sadly, "I have powers that makes things temporary, while wishes makes things permanent forever.", and Jasmine nodded, "That makes sense...Go ahead...", and Genie nodded, clicking his fingers, and the garden walls became transparent yet solid to pause any person from intruding.
The people of Agrabah saw the gardens in its beauty, and they got closer, with the children asking curiously about what's happening, and the adults telling them that the beautiful girl in blue is Princess Jasmine, coming home at last, realizing that an important burial ceremony is to commence for three great men, gently telling the children to be quiet for Princess Jasmine as they stood around the garden walls, respectfully observing.
Jasmine took a deep breath, tears in her eyes, and started, "Today, we are all here to give peace to my late father, Sultan Hamid, one of the greatest men I knew...He was loyal to Agrabah, to his people, and to his family. He had a lot of faults, but he always found a way to show his love for his people, his family, and he believed in many things including the fact he wanted me to be happy, even if he got upset at me sometimes for not wanting to stay within tradition...".
Jasmine took another breath as she paused, "People of Agrabah, I have returned from my cursed exile at the hands of Jafar, the monster that has brought so much death and destruction upon us all... and the killer of my father.". She placed her lips against the coffin, as if she was trying to at least kiss her father one more time, "Be at peace, Father... it's finally over.".
Jasmine then glanced at Genie, gesturing softly to a lovely spot right next to her mother's resting place, and Genie snapped his fingers, and a perfect square spot was dug up, and Peter, George, and Genie gently lifted up the Sultan's coffin, carrying it to the grave, and lowered it down, while the girls held Jasmine's hands as she gave a quiet sob.
Genie then clicked his hands, and dirt covered the grave, with a great boulder with a feather insignia, similar to the sultana's boulder that is having a flower insignia.
Jasmine took a deep breath once more, "Today, we are all here to give peace to a hero who diligently gave his life in trying to stop Jafar from presuming to killing me, and his name is Aladdin. He was known as a street rat, a man with a heart of gold, always stealing yet he hated it, but he always found a way to help his people in the streets of Agrabah, giving a piece of food every day even if it made him hungry.".
She paused, tears in her eyes, taking another deep breath, "I only knew him three days, and in another life, I would have nagged my father to change the law of marrying a prince to something far better where I'd be free to marry him, and learn of his life, to help him be more than a street rat. But in this life, he would want me to be happy like Father, and he gave his blessing in a dream for me to be with my lovers.".
"And beside him, we also give a hero's burial to the man who helped lead Agrabah during its darkest days, a man whom if not for his leadership, Jafar would still be alive. A man who gave his life for the freedom of this kingdom and sacrificed himself to give another a chance to live his life. I speak of Cassim, whom was also the father of Aladdin...", Jasmine said.
Gwen exhaled, having been told by Jasmine a mere hour ago before her father and Skyler returned home...She would never thank Cassim enough for saving her father's life...yet upset that a great man lost his life, but he did it for Agrabah's freedom, for her father and Skyler's love...
She looked over at Skyler and George, seeing the body language, and a nearly short breath escaped her as Skyler leaned into George's shoulder as he shuddered, remembering the terrifying moment the cobra was in front of him...
It was so fast for others, yet it was slow for him...Seeing those gleaming fangs, those red eyes, the terrifying hood of the head...the freezing of his body, inwardly screaming to run, memories flashing by of his daughter, the others, and especially his wife...Then feeling something push him off hard, falling to the floor, rolling over, hearing the screams of Cassim...The shocked, horrified feeling when he looked up to see it...The moment he heard Jafar's shout, looking over to see Skyler in a griffin form, attacking Jafar...Getting up, taking out his gun, putting in a bullet, clicking off the safety pin...
Jasmine then spoke again, taking a deep breath, "In the thieves society, Cassim was known as the King of Forty Thieves, and that made him royalty of thievery, hence making his son, the Prince of Thieves, as he was his only heir...They deserve to be buried in peace, here in the royal gardens, and I'm very sure Father wouldn't have minded...Thank you, Aladdin and Cassim, for saving my people, my home, and my kingdom. Rest in peace.".
Jasmine closed her eyes and tried to steel herself one more time, "People of Agrabah... I know we must adjust so much now... being free of Jafar, the land being brought to a whole new world for our own protection... and I must take my place soon as Sultana. I promise to you all know, that I will try my best to do what is right for the people... to be a ruler that you all deserve... to bring a new era of peace and tranquility for all who breath here...".
The people waited for the men to make graves and put Aladdin and Cassim's coffins gently in, and cover them with dirt, with Genie making two other boulders to mark the graves, with Aladdin's boulder having a diamond insignia, and Cassim's boulder having a sword insignia.
The people then cheered with great vigorous applause, and Jasmine exhaled, having a small smile at the sight of having the support of her people, and then Jasmine then called out, "Preparations will start soon, and in the meantime, with the dark spell over Agrabah gone, you are all free to explore beyond the city...".
The people cheered even louder and went to make their way from the garden walls, with Genie snapping his fingers, making the walls back to solid form, giving privacy to the gardens and the family within.
Jasmine then collapsed into tears, crying as she finally grieved, with her lovers sitting around her, holding her in a comforting huddle, as Rajah went to show Abu around the gardens, with Carpet quietly moving along to 'talk' with Genie, while George went with Skyler to the fountain.
"Just let it out, Jasmine, it's okay...", Peter assured her as she cried. She never really had gotten much of the chance to grieve when it first happened; mostly since Jafar quickly took control fast and Jasmine made into a prisoner. Now, being almost face to face once more with the deceased, it just hit her all at once again.
Jean replied, "You're not alone. We're here, all here with you.", and Gwen said, "That's right. We ain't leaving you. We all love you...just let it all out, and we're not judging...", as they all surrounded their beloved princess together, rubbing her back, stroking her hair, just being there for her.
Jasmine sobbed for what had to be almost a good ten minutes before eventually it started to die down, the others didn't move for even a second as they stuck with her the whole time. "Thank you...", Jasmine sniffled as she began to calm down.
"We do mean it, Jasmine... whatever you have to deal with... we're with you all the way.", Peter smiled. "Even if it's needing help ruling a kingdom...", he admitted as Jasmine gave a light chuckle while wiping her eyes.
Jasmine exhaled, "We'll figure that out...", before taking a look around the gardens, and then noticed Genie. Her smile grew, "Come on, let's make this day meaningful...", getting up gingerly with the others' help, and then headed to George and Skyler on their fountain spot.
Skyler noticed them coming and nudged George, and Jasmine replied with a smile, "If I'm correct, you each have one last wish, yes?". George nodded, "Yep...", and Skyler chuckled, "I think I need a piece of paper and a pen. My last wish is big.".
"How big?", Gwen asked as Skyler chuckled. "You'll see soon enough.", she said as a paper and pen appeared in her hand. "Thank you, Genie.".
Genie nodded, "No problem, Skyler.", with a warm smile as Skyler went to huddle and whisper with George, taking time to configure the wish right, writing it down carefully, and after 10 minutes, she was done, and she smiled, giving it to Genie, "Genie, I wish for you to do what I wrote down on this paper.".
Genie snapped his fingers to put his reading glasses on, reading, widening his eyes impressively. 'I wish for Peter Benjamin Parker, Jean Grey Watson, and Princess Jasmine to be nearly indestructible as Gwen Kara Penelope Stacy, for Peter Parker's guardians, Ben and May Parker to be comfortable in their lives without worrying about bills, taxes, or house payments, for Jean Grey Watson's adopted parents, Helen and Phillip Watson to be comfortable in their lives without worrying about bills, taxes, or house payments, for George Stacy and I to be comfortable in our lives without worrying about bills, taxes, or apartment payments.'
Genie lowered his glasses as he chuckled, "Certainly well thought out on that one... and obviously comfortable doesn't exactly mean having all the wealth in the world.". Skyler nodded there.
"Well, for starters, with what Peter, Jasmine, Gwen and Jean do, it will give everyone peace of mind if they're all fairly resilient as Gwen is, especially Jasmine since she's already died twice from mortal wounds. And yes, the comfortable aspect, there's certainly a reasonable amount of wealth to be able to live fully off of. Of course, it doesn't exactly have to be all at once.", Skyler said.
