True Love's First (Jasmine/Jane)
Title: True Love's First
Length: 251 words
Fandom: Aladdin/Tarzan: college students AU (Disney Hall)
Pairing/characters: past Aladdin/Jasmine; Jasmine/Jane
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Prompt/challenge you're answering: no_true_pair: Jane and Jasmine as the main characters in a fairy tale
Excerpt: Jane was too old to believe in princesses, and maybe that was why Jasmine fascinated her.
Jane never thought she'd get to meet a real princess. Princesses were people out of fairytales, and she'd grown out of fairytales long ago.
But Jasmine was real-- the circlet she wore casually would easily pay for the whole dorm's tuition. She wasn't stuck-up, either, as far as Jane could tell-- quiet because her English was poor, but friendly.
Jane was too old to believe in princesses, and maybe that was why Jasmine fascinated her. She listened in amazement to the stories that the woman told about life in Agrabah, and she marveled at the photographs. It seemed like a story out of time-- the fat, affable sultan, the common boy Jasmine had nearly married, and Jasmine herself, a vision in silks with doe-like eyes.
Jasmine was a foreign beauty in those pictures, utterly exotic to plain old Jane with her pale skin and blue eyes. Jasmine's current appearance was quite different (excepting the circlet of course), Abercrombie sweaters and dark-washed jeans.
In short, Jasmine represented the unattainable, the desirable. Jane knew as well as any girl that the princess never married the commoner girl. The commoner was a maid or small flunky.
That's why Jasmine had to take the first step towards their happy ending, leaning forward after an English tutoring session and kissing her mentor on the lips. It was a shock to Jane, but not an unpleasant one.
She kissed back, true love's first kiss, and we all know what fairytales have to say about that.
