I hope you guys enjoy this new story! Credit goes to my friend Sam for helping me brainstorm this wacky idea!

Belle closed the book that she had just finished and let out a peaceful sigh of content before she looked around the sunlit library. The empty library. For only a split second she wondered where Adam was before the obvious answer came to her. He was in the office working. Again. She sighed sadly before getting up to reshelf the book. She looked around the library once more before a clock chimed twelve. When she heard that she decided to go to Adam's office and remind him to eat lunch. Things had not turned out as she had expected after breaking the spell, but she was clueless at what had to change.

Since becoming freed of the spell Adam had been working extra hard to help rebuild the area's prosperity after over a decade of neglect. So far he had done a good job of bringing the estate and its villages out of depression. What he wanted to do was not just bring the people out of Depression, he wanted them to prosper.

He was looking into some possible trade investments in the East. One investment that seemed very profitable was centered in Agrabah. He sighed, he wanted to start trade with the Eastern city but he would want to see it first. Belle already said he worked too much; she would throw a fit when he told her he wanted to travel. 'Speak of the devil' he thought when he heard her soft knock on the door.

When Belle entered the office the look on Adam's face told her that something was about to take place and she wasn't going to like it. She was right.

A week later found the occupants of the castle packed for their trip. Adam, after having a 'discussion' with Belle had sent his request for a visit, and included his interest in starting a trade line with the city. A gracious invitation was sent in reply from the Sultan who seemed oddly interested in the fact that Adam wasn't married. After the 'discussion' it was decided that Belle would accompany him, which Adam thought was a fair request.

Since the duration of their visit wasn't known it was also decided that they would be accompanied by Ms. Potts, Cogsworth, and Lumiere. What had been intended as a business venture had apparently been turned into a Vacation.

It was not a vacation for Aladdin who was currently running for his life and all for a piece of bread. "It's not my fault I have to steal to eat." He said grinning at the guards as he and Abu dodged them. Finally he found peace only to give his bread away to some hungry kids, much to Abu's frustration.

It was then that the trumpets caught his attention and he went to investigate. There was not only one Royal Procession but two. The first was a very haughty prince "Another suitor for the Princess" one of the exasperated townspeople sighed. Aladdin rolled his eyes which were then caught by the other procession.

This one was much simpler but just as grand. Strange foreigners were on it. Some of the strangest people Aladdin had ever seen. The one who caught his attention the most was the man sitting in the lead. He was dressed informal clothing though it was made of heavier fabric than was usually seen in the desert. He looked very handsome with deep blue eyes and long sandy brown hair that was tied back loosely.

His attention was taken away when the two children he had just given food to went charging into the street. They had been unaware of the procession taking place. The children ran in front of the haughty prince making his horse rear which unsettled the rider. He enraged Prince raised his whip to strike the children. Aladdin moved to intercept the strike when someone else did it first. The handsome Westerner moved in front of the children and used his arm to catch the whip.

The Prince looked affronted as the Westerner's brillent blue eyes glared darkly at him. The Westerner said nothing but Aladdin could almost hear him growling. The man threw the whip back at the Prince and ushered the children away. The haughty Prince merely snorted as he continued, the crowd was silent after the display.

The Prince brushed past Aladdin who turned and watched in amazement as the Western Prince remounted his horse. Aladdin heard Abu give a curious noise into his ear and saw the guards. Deciding it was time to leave Aladdin disappeared back into the crowd. He was unaware of the eyes that followed his movement.

Belle smiled at Adam as he handed the Children off to Ms. Potts. This was the gentle side of Adam that she had seen through his beastly exterior, though the Beast was still a part of him as he had just displayed. Belle had loved the Beast; she had loved his random bursts of innocent joy. She loved mending his broken soul; but Belle was realizing that she didn't love Adam. She liked him, she admired him, but his focus was on his people. He was responsible, hard working, generous, and also very decisive in everything he did.

She saw Adam give the young man with a monkey on his shoulder a lingering look before turning his attention to the children and the caravan. She smiled to herself as she watched the young man disappear into the crowd. 'Interesting' she thought to herself.

Belle was not the only one who had noticed Adam's wandering eyes. Ms. Potts had long held suspicions about her master, and she prided herself as a housekeeper at doing what was best for her Master after all. Ms. Potts could feel the plans percolating in her brain 'we will see…' she thought to herself.

Aladdin tucked Abu in for the night before settling himself on his favorite perch. He stared dreamily off at the castle "Someday…" he whispered to himself before joining Abu in sleep.

That night Belle and Adam finished getting settled in the Palace rooms they had been given. Belle said goodnight to Adam and wasn't surprised when she got only a grunt in return. Adam was looking vapidly at the sprawling city of Agrabah, his mind obviously elsewhere.

The next morning found Jasmine smiling as Rajah scared off another money seeking suitor. With each man she met she gained a lower opinion of the opposite sex. It was at that moment that she looked up.

She knew that her father had guests over to talk about opening trade between the two kingdoms. He hadn't involved her overly much since she was supposed to be finding a husband. She paused as she saw a woman calmly reading on the balcony. The sun was bathing her pale skin and lighting up the highlights in her brown hair.

Jasmine couldn't see much more from this distance, but she felt a desire to meet these Westerners up close, the woman particularly.

Meanwhile Jafar was smiling as he took the Blue Diamond ring from the hypnotized Sultan. He snarled when he heard the 'guests' coming to join them. He was pleased that Agrabah was getting a new source of money. However he really didn't see the need for them to come in person. Still he reasoned that he could put up with them since they would bring money into 'his' kingdom, or at least, soon to be kingdom. 'At least they are more bearable than these accursed suitors.' He thought to himself as the Western Prince joined them and added to that thought 'at least they are easier on the eyes.'
