No One's Point of View

-Mean while-

Mark, Jack, and Ethan were making stuff for your birthday while it was a mess and they were arguing for a bit. Ethan finally got the wands, but Mark tells him to lock everything in the cottage for now. Which they all did so they could use their magic for the party.

Jack was making the cake again, Mark was making the dress again, yet Ethan was supposed to clean the room which got him mad again.

Soon they got started which was a bit of a hassle to do since they were trying to hurry before you get back. Everyone was doing. Their part rather well, till it got to the (dress/suit) where Ethan and Mark fighting over what color it will be.

But Shao Kahn saw the magic coming from the chimney which he looked in and saw the three masters now knowing that this is where they were hiding the (princess/prince). Then Shao Kahn went to alert Sindel of his findings.

Yet Mark and Ethan then ruined the (dress/suit), they were about to argue until Jack shushed them noticing you were coming back.

"Uncle Mark, Jack, and Ethan!" You called out running up to the door with stuff in hand. While the three masters hid on the stairs after hiding their wands. As well as stopped everything.

"Uncle Mark, Jack, and Ethan." You called again now entering the cottage.

"Where is everybody?" You asked then noticed something. You were in surprise and shock when you see the (dress/suit) and the cake in surprise.

"Oh!" You said happily.

"SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" They all day happily in unison with a smile on all of your faces.

"Oh, everyone this is the happiest day of my life!" You say happily to all three of them as they were excited by your reaction.

"Really?" Jack asks happily like a kid with Mark and Ethan smiling at you two.

"Oh, everything is so wonderful!" You say happily twirling a bit while looking at them.

"Just wait till you meet him." You suddenly say to all three of them.

"Him?" Jack suddenly asked losing the happiness he once had in him now in worry.

"Who?" Ethan now asked losing his happiness as well.

"You met some stranger?" Mark suddenly says in a serious voice while all of them looked at you waiting for a response.

"Oh, he's not a stranger. We met before." You answered happily a bit clueless on why they were serious.

"You have?" Mark asks still serious and in concern for you.

"Where?" Ethan also asks in concern for you.

"Well, once upon a dream." You started to say.

"I know you, I've walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eye is so familiar a gleam." You started to sing and dance with Jack.

"She's in love." Ethan stated as all of them now looked anxious for you.

"Oh no." Ethan states now looking at Mark with worry with Jack looking at the two with worry as well.

"This is terrible." Mark states now grabbing your attention.

"Why?" You suddenly asked while you stopped what you were doing and letting go of Jack's hands. Then looked at Mark and Ethan clearly confused.

"Why, after all, Uncle Mark, I am 16." You stated still confused.

"It isn't that dear." Mark starts still saddened by what he was going to tell you.

"You are already betrothed." Jack suddenly revealed to you as you now looked at him surprised.

"Betrothed?" You asked still in surprise.

"Since the day you were born." Ethan added in worry on how you will react.

"To Prince Nathan, dear." Jack adds now worried as well.

"But that's impossible, how can I marry a prince? I have to be-" You started to ask in shock.

"A (princess/prince)." Ethan added while looking at you.

"And you are dear." Jack states trying to calm you down a bit.

"(Princess/Prince) (Y/n)." Mark suddenly says to you. But what they don't know, it's that Shao Kahn was watching now in shock.

"Tonight, we're taking you back to your father, King (Y/f/n)." Mark adds now worried.

"But... But... I can't... He's coming here tonight. I promised to meet him." You suddenly explained to them as Sharp Kahn leaves in the background without anyone noticing.

"I'm sorry child. But you must never see that young man again." Mark says to you as you started to back up in shock.

"Oh no... NO!!! I can't believe it!! No!!!" You said as you started to cry and run up to your room while the three were in pain now for you.

"And we thought she'd be so happy." Ethan states now really saddened on what they did. While you were crying in your room alone.
