Chapter 1: Secret of the lamp
(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Aladdin or Gravity Falls)
Soos was a man who was in charge of the mystery Shack while Stan and Ford were on vacation.
His girlfriend Melody also worked at the Mystery Shack.
Many children visited and were awed by the mysterious artifacts that were found across the land.
One kid was looking at a pizza that lasted for many years.
"Wow, I wish I had a pizza like that."
Soos remembered that word.
"Wishes are a beautiful thing, but sometimes you gotta be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it."
He pointed to one of his favorite artifacts.
"This lamp for instance."
One kid was looking at it.
"What's so special about a lamp?"
"Dudes this isn't an ordinary lamp, its a magic lamp."
"Magic lamp?" Asked one of the kids.
Melody was happy that her boyfriend was teaching them something exciting.
"Kids, I think its time I told you a story about a street lamp, a princess, and the magical genie."
"Can you sing us a song?" Asked a kid.
"No no no, I can't really do that," Soos answered, "…Not without music."
He turned on a cd.
Arabian Nights
Soos: Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where you wander among every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but hey, it's home
When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
Many years ago….
Soos: As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars
With the cardamom-cluttered stalls
You can smell every spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks and the satin shawls
Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze
In the haze of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance, you are lost in the trance
Of another Arabian night
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land of magic and sand
Is more than it seems
There's a road that may lead you to good or to greed
Through the power your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny lies in your hands
A sorcerer was watching someone enter a mysterious dungeon.
Only one may enter here
One whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough
Soos: Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite, take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes
The mouth closed and the person was trapped.
The sorcerer's young associate watched.
"Ugh! I can't believe that guy wasn't even the one we were looking for. So many 'worthy ones' and they all suffered the same fate!"
"Patience now, we will find him. He was obviously less than worthy."
"There's a big surprise!"
"We must find the true…. Diamond in the rough."
A young street rat by the name of Mason, who goes by Dipper was looking for some good food.
"See anything?" He asked his twin sister Mabel.
"Got it!"
She was looking at some bread.
The two of them went down and stole it.
Unfortunately some guards found them, and were lead by none other than Robbie Valentino.
"Stop thieves!" He said.
They had Dipper and Mabel surrounded.
"I'm gonna make you a trophy boy."
"All this for a loaf of bread guys?"
He jumped down and grabbed a pipe.
Some women were looking at them.
"Isn't it a bit too early to get into trouble kids?" Asked one of them.
"Aww you're only in trouble if you get caught," said Dipper.
"Gotcha!"
Robbie caught him.
"Hey geeks!"
Mabel had her pet pig Waddles charge at them.
"Right on time Mabel."
"Talk later Dipping sauce, let's roll!"
They started running from the thieves.
One jump ahead
Dipper: Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
And that's everything
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
Guards: Riff raff!
Street rat!
Scoundrel!
Take that!
Dipper: Just a little snack, guys
Guards: Rip him open
Take it back lines
Mabel: Can't ya take a hint, gotta face the facts
Dipper you could use a friend or two (huh?)
Dipper landed in a room full of girls.
Girls: Oh, it's sad, that Dipper's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
Mother: I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em
Dipper: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time
Mabel: One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block
Guards: Stop, thief!
Vandal!
Mabel: WADDLES!
Neighbor: Scandal!
Dipper: Let's not be too hasty
Woman: Still I think he's rather tasty
Dipper: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along (wrong!)
The guards kept chasing the 3 of them.
Mabel had a sword in her hands.
"She's got a sword!"
"You idiots," Robbie said, "We got swords too!"
They all went after her and she fought them off giving Dipper time to escape.
Dipper: One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
One hop ahead of the hump
One trick ahead of disaster
They're quick, but I'm much faster
Here goes
Better throw my hand in, wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
They jumped off a building escaping from the guards.
"Mission accomplished guys."
Dipper saw some kids that were starving.
He gave his bread to them.
"That was a nice thing you did," Mabel said as she broke hers in half.
They heard music and went to see what was happening.
It was a suitor.
"Oh look, another suitor for the princess."
The suitor's horse was about to trample over the kids.
Dipper ran and got them out of the way.
"You brats watch where you're going!"
"Hey, just who do you think you are running over kids?!"
"If we were rich like you, the first thing we'd buy is some manners!"
"Do I really need to answer to a group of street rats? You were born street rats and you will die street rats!"
"Well at least we're not a horse with two rear ends!" Dipper retorted.
He turned his back and went to the castle.
"Oooooh I ought to…."
Dipper stopped him.
"Come on, let's just go home."
They went to their house.
It wasn't much but it was home.
One Jump Ahead (Reprise 1)
Dipper: Riff-raff, street rat, I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy?
No siree they'd find out there's so much more to me
Dipper went to sleep.
