Prologue

It was early morning in Agrabah. The sun had slowly begun to spread its warm rays across the city, bathing the market place with a golden glow, as locals slowly began their morning preparations for the gruelling day.

At the palace, things were quiet. Everyone's lives had taken a turning point the day before. They retired to their rooms, thoughtful and full of remembrance, some still feeling a sense of the unreal.

Chapter 1:

Jasmine's eyes fluttered open. She blinked a few times, momentarily shocked she was in a bed, inside the palace. She felt strangely content, and remained still for a few moments, enjoying the cosiness. Next to her lay Aladdin, with an arm wrapped around her waist. She secretly savoured the stillness, knowing how very precious such moments truly were.

Gently she placed his arm on the bed and slowly wandered to her vanity. I can't believe all of this happened just yesterday! She thought. The reality of everything felt all too sudden. In fact

She stared at her self in the mirror, and ran her fingers through a stray lock of hair. "God," she sighed "I'm a mess!". "Don't ever change," piped up a voice.

"Aladdin!" she said gleefully, flouncing on to the bed. Playfully, she buried her head in his chest "I didn't want to wake you," she said softly, lying down her side so she could face him.

"I'm glad you didn't, otherwise I wouldn't have had the joy of watching you wake up," he replied. Jasmine blushed coyly.

"Last night was some night, wasn't it?" she asked thoughtfully, nestling in closer to him. "I still can't believe it happened, as silly as that sounds," he said placing an arm around her.

"It's not silly," she said "it's true!" Aladdin chuckled softly. He sat up, stretching his arms. "Where are you going?" she asked with a pout. "I should probably see to your Father, and resume my duties as vizier and all," he answered.

Her pout increased. "Ok, maybe I'll do that later!" he said, rolling back into the bed. "I wish we could stay like this forever," Jasmine sighed. "Me too," replied Aladdin.

"But, seriously, I've also got to see to Dad and Tali," Jasmine sat up immediately. "That's true!" she said "Well, I'll see to Tali, you go ahead to your Father"

"Thanks," said Aladdin, leaning in for a quick kiss "Then I promise we can stay like that tomorrow," he said. "You'd better count on it!" gushed Jasmine, as she skipped out of the room.

Tali hadn't slept that night. Although she was tired, something inside her kept her awake, a feeling that seemed like everything she'd done and where she was would disappear, like it never happened. She rubbed her heavy eyes, and let out a yawn she'd been violently attempting to restrain..

She stood up from the divan, and wandered outside to the grand balcony. Her eyes gaze immediately fell upon the beauty and mystery of Agrabah, city of enchantment, she so often heard it referred to.

So this is where I was born, she thought, glancing at the market vendors and merchants setting up their goods for the day.

Their movements seemed knowingly and calm, so unlike the sunlight that blazed down on them in fury. She knew that would soon change, and the market would become the daily grind that consumed them.

"Sleep well?" chimed a bright voice. Tali spun around, snapping out o her little daydream. Jasmine stood there, smiling warmly.

"To be honest, I didn't sleep much at all, everything was too overwhelming, I just couldn't bring myself to sleep" replied Tali.

"I know what you mean," said Jasmine, and understanding look passing over her face. "Well, I guess today is our first chance to turn our attention to other things, and leave behind everything that happened," said Jasmine.

Tali nodded. Sure, you know what you can go back to doing, you're the princess. Me? I'm a nobody in your world…or any world, thought Tali.

"I can imagine you're thinking, about what will happen to you now that your here?" asked Jasmine. Tali glanced up to find Jasmine's intuitive eyes searching her.

"Actually that's right, how'd you know?" asked Tali, feeling slightly embarrassed. No one had ever figured her out so quickly. Hell, she'd never known anyone long enough to give them the chance to. "Wild guess," said Jasmine, hiding a smile "but seriously, everything will work out, you won't ever have to go back to your old life," assured Jasmine.

Tali smiled, turning her attention back to the streets of Agrabah. "You know," said Jasmine, a dreamy look in her eyes "This is where Aladdin and I shared our first kiss," she sighed.

"Really?" said Tali "How'd you guys meet?" Jasmine smiled. "It's a long story, I'll tell you on our way to breakfast" said Jasmine. The two girls departed chatting excitedly.

"I'm just saying Dad, that the sultan might, I dunno…actually go for it?" said Aladdin. Cassim sighed "Look, I really don't think so, as much as I appreciate the effort" said Cassim. His stern brown accentuated the stiffness in his voice.

Aladdin heaved a heavy sigh. I've only been trying to convince him for 5 minutes, he is pretty stubborn…maybe I should just bring it up at breakfast thoughtAladdin.

"Look Dad, let's just drop for now, the others will be waiting for you at breakfast," said Aladdin. "Lead the Way!" said Cassim.

"Gold…rubies….throne….oh, all for me?…more…more, hehehe, MORE…" muttered Iago, as he rolled over in his sleep. Suddenly he felt a sharp tug at his wing. His eyes opened lazily, only to be faced with a pair of enormous eyes.

"EEEEEEEIIIIIIIYYYY!!!!" he squawked "Take whatever you want, just spare me! Ple-he-hease!!!!! Oh and leave the gold in that pile," he added.

The pair of enormous eyes moved away. "ABU?!" he yelled. Abu rolled over laughing. "You stupid, imbecilic, chimp!" growled Iago "I was having the best dream and you had to ruin it!"

Abu laughed harder and did an imitation of Iago in his sleep. "Hilarious, Abu! Are we playing charades?" boomed the voice of Genie "Let me guess! A fish? A crazed rug man? Oh wait! I know! It's IAGO!"

"I don't look like that!" squawked Iago. Carpet flew over to the laughing friends. HE nodded and clapped his corner tassels together. "Et toi, rug man?" said Iago, feigning hurt.

That just got them laughing again. "Friends my foot! Why I oughta…" muttered Iago, stomping with said body part.. "Come on guys," said Genie "let's skedaddle for breakfast! Before the Sultan loses his turban…and Iago the rest of his feathers"

When everyone reached the dining hall, the table was set and the Sultan sat waiting. "Sorry we took awhile," said Jasmine apologetically, giving her father a quick peck on the cheek. "That's quite alright dearest!" the sultan answered cheerfully.

Jasmine took her lace next to Aladdin, Tali and Cassim sitting on either side of them. Iago and Abu scrambled to their favourite seats. Genie and Carpet joined them eagerly. The collective feeling between all of them felt new, with the arrival of Tali.

"I am glad to see you all, rested and well, this morning!" said the Sultan. "Everyone must try the guava juice, made from the best guavas in India,"

Aladdin took a sip. "It's delicious," he said, drinking the rest. "I know," said the Sultan "Speaking of which, the Maharajah of Farehpur and his daughter, shall be coming to Agrabah,"

The Sultan turned to Aladdin, his round face highlighted with a cheery grin "Now, it's high time, we put your excellent skills and ethics to good use!" he said "You will be working with them side by side, when they arrive!"

Aladdin beamed. "You mean it?" he asked excitedly "I mean, Are you certain your highness?"

The Sultan chuckled "Of course boy! One day after all, you will be Sultan!" Aladdin stood up and bowed to the Sultan "Now, come now boy, you have worked hard, you deserve it! Ask anything of me and it shall be granted!" he said.

Jasmine turned to him knowingly. Now is your chance! Ask about your Father! Her eyes seemed to say.

Aladdin stood up hesitantly. While the sultan was a reasonable man, he'd never tried to venture too far with his requests. This time however, he wasn't sure if he was out of his depth. "Your highness, I wish to ask you, about something that means a great deal to me," he said, noticing Jasmine's look "Ahem," she said.

Aladdin gulped "And Jasmine," he added. "Continue, my boy," said the Sultan. "Well," said Aladdin, glancing at Cassim "I was wondering, I mean, hoping, I mean…would ou possibly be able to employ my Father as…head of the guards?"

Ok, that wasn't hugely eventful, but it's only the start! There will the promised juicy drama, love- hate, action and plenty more….even more if you review!!
