Author of JOHN AND POCAHONTAS: FOUND AGAIN
link
I was in the mood for writing a fanfiction but I couldn't think of any ideas so the user qzmaster591 suggested this idea for me.
"Instead of Ariel, some of the other princesses will have to win their princes over with no voice"
I considered Belle, Jasmine, and Rapunzel for this as I felt I could really run with that idea with those princesses in particular. I finally decided on Jasmine and I'm glad I did. I like the way it turned out so far. Anyways, if you enjoyed my first fanfiction I think you'll enjoy this one as well. If you haven't read my first fanfiction, I always enjoy reading comments on it. I posted a link to it above. Anyways. let me actually get to the story now. Here it is and let me know if you want me to keep this going.
JASMINE: UNSPOKEN LOVE
PART ONE
It wasn’t a horrible life. I lived in a palace, after all. I had servants to tend to my every need and desire. I had an amazing best friend who wasn’t even human. The best part of the palace was my room. It had a spacious balcony that overlooked the town below, but it was the view above that I gazed at each night. I looked up at the stars and as a falling star flew through the dark night, I wish I could fly away through that same sky. It wasn’t a horrible life. It wasn’t what I had that troubled me. It was who I was expected to be. A stranger’s bride. To give my life to a man I didn’t know. To sleep next to someone and bear my body to him for the sake of children. To give myself completely to someone I didn’t love. I’d sacrifice life in the palace just to give away everything that came with it. I’d sacrifice everything just to speak, just to tell my father that maybe I don’t want to be a princess anymore. He doesn’t hear me, no one does. No one can. I was born mute and so I was born without a voice. I’ve never spoken a word and I never can.
The night sky was clear. A perfect starless night, but I longed to be that falling star so to fall away from all sadness and pressure. My mother had been my greatest voice, but that was a long time ago. Now it’s my father who tries his best and God bless his effort but even his greatest effort is not my voice. His voice speaks of wedding dresses and wedding bells and walking me down that horrid aisle to that horrid stranger. That’s not my voice. I gazed at the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of my mother. She told me falling stars were loved ones sending us love from Heaven. It’s been so long since I’ve seen that star. I had to go after it somehow. I had to leave. To disappear. To maybe find a voice somewhere. I gazed at the sky one more time just thinking that if I looked hard enough, I’d be gifted with a voice.
As I climbed the palace wall, I felt a tug on my robe pull me back, and heard a growl.
“Oh Rajah,” I thought. I held my precious tiger close to me and almost regretted my decision to leave, but I couldn’t stay here and have my life lived for me. He whimpered in my arms. My heart broke. I nuzzle my face into his fur leaving him with my tears. I let go, knowing I’d never see him again but it was a choice I had to make. I climbed over the palace wall, giving him one last look. For once I was thankful I could not speak, for speaking a goodbye would break my heart forever.
I left the palace on that starless night, not once looking behind me.

1) Josh Groban
I have always been a fan of him and after listening to his rendition of If I Can't Love Her from the musical version on Youtube. I personally felt that Josh should have been cast as the Beast!
2) Urs Buhler & Carlos Marin (Il Divo)
Just so you know that Carlos Marin had previously played the Beast in the Madrid production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and I personally felt that his voice is more suitable.
The second choice was his Swiss bandmate, Urs Buhler because he has both the looks and voice for both Prince Adam and the Beast.
3) Il Volo
The Jonas Brother version of Il Divo, they sound perfect and Prince Adam would definitely sound very operatic. Do you agree?
Let The World Be Done with Me!
Here are my 3 choices, do you agree?
Call me Anne. I wouldn't say my age because you would be embarrassed but think older then Elsa. I loved the 90s princess (Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, and Mulan) since I identify with them a lot. When I was in elementary&High school I did get bullied but that's a long time ago now. I love some of the articles I have read here on this site specifically the ones arguing about Cinderella not waiting around for a Prince to save her. Did you know that it took from the 1800s to the 1912 before Snow White's and Cinderella's respective stories overlapped? And in the 1913 some guy who had the last name Powers who would later help Disney with Steamboat Willie made his own film version of Snow White and borrowed the True Love Kiss from either Grimms' Briar Rose or Perrault's Beauty in the Woods.
12. Snow White
I don't really like Snow White, she was a little bit childlish and boring.
11. Aurora
She's so low because she didn't do anything interesting and we see her on screen only 18 minutes.
10. Tiana
She is good character, but a little bit too serious
9. Merida
She was interesting and funny, but I like next eight more
8. Mulan
I like Mulan because she's very realistic, but I don't like her pessimism
7. Cinderella
She is my favorite ,,classic" princess, she's interesting and dreaming.
I like her third movie ,,Twist in time" most
6. Pocahontas
I really like Pocahontas, she's very interesting and funny
5. Moana
I like Moana because she's adventurous and loves water
4. Ariel
She's great character, especially in TV series
3. Rapunzel
My favorite ,,modern" princess, she's funny, dreaming and clever
2. Jasmine
She's rebellious, and I love her quote ,, I'm not a prize to be won"
1. Belle
She's clever, dreaming about adventure and a little bit sarcastic
