Chapter 5

by Starsinger

Well, spring break is about over, so I thought I'd finish this. Thank you everyone for reviewing. Please, input needed, I'm considering Sleeping Beauty or the Little Mermaid next. I'm considering a few couples, and a couple of triangles for the Little Mermaid, it will be the traditional ending, not the Disney ending, so if you like certain characters, be careful who you suggest! Don't own them…

Remy was not prepared for what actually happened on the third night. He again, pretended to be asleep as the Princess' crept in to check on him. He still enjoyed the cookies, but he had to hurry out behind Ororo before the door closed on him. On his way he reached out and picked a big golden apple from one of the trees.

Ororo's prince was prepared for the extra weight tonight and managed to get one of the servants to give him a hand rowing them over to the island. He enjoyed himself immensely, he hid the goblet he drank out of beneath his cloak. He even snuck a jeweled plate in there as well. He even took the younger twins for a twirl. They giggled, they just thought it was their invisible friend.

He sauntered over to hear a conversation between Kitty and Anna, "I really like Peter. I'm not sure Father would approve a marriage between us."

"Let me guess, if Remy somehow wins and I marry him, you want me to talk to Father about you and Peter," Anna whispered.

"I almost wish Remy was here. This is good for the little girls, but we're getting older, Anna. We'll eventually have to marry. Remy and Peter are the best prospects we've had since we turned sixteen. Ours is a prosperous kingdom, it's not as if we need an alliance with another kingdom."

Anna nodded, Kitty was right. Her prince came up and bowed for another dance. He took her twirling across the dance floor where she crashed into the goblet that Remy had just picked up, her nose connected with the goblet and the wine splashed all over Remy. "I think I broke it!" Anna exclaimed, touching her very sore nose. They decided to go home, it was late.

On the way back Remy, who had become soaked, let out an enormous sneeze. He was feeling so miserable he was still behind the girls. "What was that?" Ororo exclaimed.

"It's a bear!" Amara answered. The girls screamed and made a mad dash for the castle. Remy barely made it back ahead of the girls and slipped into bed. They never came to check and see if he was still asleep, and he passed out.

The next morning he felt worse. He was sneezing loudly, and sniffled often. He walked into the breakfast room in time to hear Anna tell her father that she had broken her nose falling out of bed last night. Logan noticed that Remy carried his canvas bag. He sighed, at least he was prepared to leave. He waited to the end of breakfast to ask Remy the question, "Remy, this is your last morning. Do you know where my daughters go at night?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I do. They go dancing at night with twelve handsome princes on an enchanted island." Dead silence greeted this statement.

"Do you have proof of what you say?" the king asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, a golden goblet, a jewel encrusted plate, and a golden apple," he said as he pulled each item out of the canvas bag. The girls stared at him. He let out another enormous sneeze.

"Oh, how silly of me," Ororo finally said, "Ladies, your bear."

"Remy, you have solved my riddle, and I am a man of my word, which of my daughters do you want to marry?"

Remy and Peter faced the priest, waiting for the bridal party. Illyana and Moira had already come up the aisle and moved over to the side. Kitty came up behind them, the Maid of Honor looked stunning in pale blue. She smiled at both Peter and Remy over the bouquet in her hands. He kept his back turned as the processional music started up, Peter naughtily glanced back to see the bride coming up the aisle on her father's arm. He grinned at Remy, "She's beautiful," he whispered to Remy.

Remy turned to take Anna's hand in his own and smiled at the Princess, his Princess. She smiled back as they both faced the priest and were married. He lifted her veil and kissed her. She was very enthusiastic and caused Logan to exclaim, "Anna, let him breathe!"

Laughter erupted as they went back down the aisle. Peter and Kitty followed and the rest of the wedding party behind them. As Remy held out the chair for Anna, Ororo leaned over, "You clean up pretty, Remy!" Remy glanced over at her with a grin. He sat down and kissed Anna again, reveling in the feeling before they glanced up. They watched as Peter and Kitty were talking with her father. They couldn't hear what was being said, but Kitty threw her arms around Logan's neck and beamed back at Peter.

"I think there will be another wedding soon," Remy whispered to Anna.

"Good, those two belong together," Anna said with a grin. She had talked her father into hosing more balls, that way her younger sisters could be introduced to more young men, and it wouldn't be nearly so hard to find husbands.

Tonight, the Princesses again danced until they wore holes in their shoes, but this time, nobody minded.

"Alright, Princesses, it's time to sleep," Peter announced.

They grumbled, they grumped, and Peter turned out the light and left. Kitty looked at him, "So, who and what's next."

"I don't know, I'll figure it out when I get there!" Peter protested.

Please, I'm begging, R&R! I'm not above begging!
