~~Full Summary in Profile!~~

Yeah, another story. This is different though, I swear! I've got the whole thing written out, honestly! All I need is one review, and I'll upload the next chapter. Well, one review five or more words long and good, of course.


Third person P.O.V.

'Oooohh! A's, A's, A's! How I love A's...' Randi sung happily in her head as she walked home. Today was a good day: she woke up at the perfect time for school, feeling bright and refreshed, she aced her Algebra test, and the weather was beautiful! Blue skies, the birds are flying, there's a huge black cloud over where her house is... wait, what?

She frowned, wondering why an ominous cloud chose her house to hover over..., or rather, swirl menacingly around. She broke out into a run, heading towards her house.

Randi was panting by the time she made it to her destination, her shoulder-length chocolate-brown hair plastered against her skin with her sweat. She heard evil laughter, one that you would hear in an old Disney movie. She slowly opened the door, her blue-green eyes widening at what she saw.

Jafar, as in the the evil sorcerer from the classic Aladdin, was holding his snake staff high in the air, smiling as her parents were lifted with the staff. He laughed once again as Randi's parents started glowing with a white light which then got sucked through the staff into Jafar. Randi watched, frozen.

After a while, the couple stopped emitting the light, and Jafar let them fall to the ground. They didn't move. Jafar grinned.

"Ha! With these two souls cementing my power to me, my transition into a sorcerer is complete! Soon, I will be Sultan!" He said, then opened up a portal using his new-found powers. He walked straight into the abyss, seemingly relaxed.

Randi ran over to her parents the moment he was out of sight. There was no heartbeat.

"No.." She whispered, horrified. They can't be dead! They can't just leave her here, all by herself. 'Uh-oh.' Randi thought, distracted from her denial by the feeling of being pulled across the floor. 'The portal's sucking me in!' She thought, scrabbling for a handhold, a foothold, anything to stop her from falling in. But, alas, luck was not on her side, and she was pulled into the blackness.

After seconds, minutes, hours, days of falling with no direction, she finally came to a stop in front of a boy holding a melon. He blinked, startled at her appearance, then handed her the melon. She looked down at the fruit blankly, wondering why she was given this. The answer came soon enough, as a merchant came running around the corner, shouting, "Who stole from me!"

"Awww... c'mon, I'm having a bad enough day as it is...' Randi thought as the merchants' eyes locked onto her and the boy swiped the melon from her hands, as if he had just stolen it from her.

"Thief!" He said as he caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "It's too bad that you didn't even get to keep it. I won't be able to get my melon back, but at least I get to punish the one who stole it from me."

Randi's had finally snapped out of the stupor she was in at the word "punish." She started struggling violently.

"Stop! I didn't steal it, that boy framed me!" She shouted, desperately trying to wriggle out of his grasp. The merchant snorted.

"Like I haven't heard that befo-" He was cut of as a monkey attacked him out of nowhere. Randi was shocked. Even after he let go of her arm, she stood stock-still, watching in disbelief. She heard an impatient sigh behind her, then her arm was once again in a strong grip and she was being hauled off to who-knows-where. She started struggling again, until a calming voice stopped her.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm here to help you." The voice sounded really familiar, but she was still scared out of her wits from this horrible day so she couldn't name who it was. But she was reassured by the voice so she stopped struggling and settled for shaking uncontrollably.

The boy-for that's what his voice led her to believe he was-led her through streets and alleyways, crumbling buildings and past huge apartments. Finally, they stopped outside one of the worst building in the city. There were spiderwebs everywhere and a lot of the walls had fallen. Since they had stopped moving, she took the chance to get a good look at her savior.

Had her heart not already been pounding at 200 beats per minute, it would have stopped altogether.

Standing in front of her was none other than the famous Disney street rat, Aladdin. She was sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, because he had it all. The red fez, the purple vest, and the patched pants. All that was missing was...

"Abu! There you are, you hairy little rascal!" Aladdin said ruffling Abu's fur as the monkey chattered irritably. "I'm sorry I threw you at Omar, but this young lady was in trouble, and she would've faced something much worse than what you did if we hadn't helped." Aladdin explained. Abu humphed, then glanced at Randi.

She shot them both a grateful smile. Abu held his ground for a moment, then smiled back at her. Aladdin grinned at her, then faltered as a frown took over his face.

"Are you okay? You're shaking." He said. Randi realized that she was indeed still shaking, over both the run-in with the merchant and her dead parents. She thought about nodding, but she shook her head, deciding to be truthful.

"Not quite. Today wasn't one of my best days, in a long shot." She answered, trying not to think about her parents lifeless bodies. Aladdin smiled knowingly.

"A run-in with Omar is never a good day." He said, a laugh in his voice. Randi tried to smile back, but it didn't reach her eyes. Aladdin noticed.

"That's not all, huh? So, what else has got you down today?" He asked, honestly curious. Randi grimaced.

"My parents died." She said, forcing the painful words out. She was instantly in Aladdin's arms in a comforting hug. She gladly excepted the comfort, knowing that Aladdin's mother died at a young age, and that he never knew his father. After a while, she sniffled and pulled away.

"So," Aladdin said, speaking carefully, "do you have any place to go?" He asked. Randi shook her head, and he grinned. "Then you can stay with us!" He exclaimed. Randi immediately protested.

"No. It'll be too much trouble for you." She said, wishing as she said it that he would help her anyways.

"Nonsense! It'll be no trouble at all, right Abu?" He asked his friend. Abu chattered angrily at him, and Aladdin's face changed into a surprised look.

"What'd he say?" Randi asked, even though she already had a pretty good idea already. Aladdin looked back at her.

"Umm... he said, no trouble at all. In fact, he would love to have you over!" Aladdin said, earning several ear-piercing shrieks from Abu. Randi decided to play along and grinned. at the monkey. He stopped mid-rant.

"Thank-you so much, Abu. You have no idea how much this means to me." She said, rubbing the top of the monkey's head. Abu grinned and said something that sounded like "aww, shucks." Aladdin grinned, knowing he would win from the beginning.

"Well, if would you follow me, milady, I will will show you to your new home." He said, grabbing her hand and leading her up into his ratted-down apartment. "It's not much, but it's home, to both me and Abu. And now, yours as well... umm, I never really caught your name." He smiled sheepishly. Randi smiled at him.

"My name is Randi." She said, grinning at the thought that her name probably isn't very common around here. She was proven correct when Aladdin gave her a confused look, then repeated her name. He then smiled.

"Randi, huh? That's a great name. Mine's Aladdin." He said, holding out his hand. Randi took it, and they both shook. "And this is Abu, if you already didn't know."

Randi held her hand out for the monkey to take, smiling at him when he shook her hand. He grinned back, then hopped up on her shoulder then around her clothes. Randi giggled at the onslaught of small paws on her back and arms. Aladdin smiled at the display.

"Alright, you two, time for bed. We have a busy day tomorrow. Randi, we're going to teach all about being street rats. Abu and I are the best out there, right Abu?" He asked, and Abu chattered in agreement as he hopped onto his little pillow and tucked himself in. Aladdin took out on of his two blankets and gave it to Randi, watching her as she looked around for a spot to sleep.

Aladdin grinned and pulled her down onto a carpeted stair across from his own bed, tucking her in as soon as she got comfortable. He laid down in his own makeshift bed, pulling the thin sheets around him.

"Goodnight, and thank you, Aladdin." Randi called sleepily. Aladdin replied.

"Goodnight, and your welcome Randi." Before they both fell asleep.
