Jasmine:

"Do you trust me?" I heard those words from a boy I barely met, and for some reason beyond comprehension, I did trust him. I trusted him more than my own fiancé- Jafar. I took the boy's hand as I saw my father's guard climbing towards us. I felt my heart pounding furiously in my chest because of the boys beautiful brown eyes. We looked at each other with an intensity I'd never felt before and I said slowly, "Yesss..."
He pulled me so that we were standing on the ledge, "Then JUMP!" he yelled and we went tumbling down and landed in a massive pile of soot! We just recovered, jumping up again when Razoul grabbed ahold of my savior and threw him to the other guards. I bashed his arm and said determinedly, "Let him go!" Razoul laughed at me and said, "Looky here, men! A street mouse!"

I had had just about enough of this! The boy was wrestling without much success. I was pushed to the floor and said furiously, "UNHAND HIM! By order of the princess!" I pulled my hood off, causing Razoul and the other guards to stare at me blankly. The boy seemed even more shocked than they did. He gaped at me and whispered in a strangled tone, "The Princess?!" The guards forced him to bow to me and hated seeing the way they treated him, especially since I had just nearly kissed him!

Razoul said apologetically, "I would princess, but my orders come from Jafar. I'm afraid you'll have to take it up with him." I folded my arms crossly and retorted, "Believe me I will." He looked at me warily and said, "I think you better come back to the palace with us, princess. Just in case you wonder off…" I huffed a lose piece of hair out of my face and said irritably, "Only if you release…" I realized I didn't know his name. He was walking with his head bowed, as he was supposed to and for some reason I felt awful that he was being treated in this manner. The guard sighed and said apologetically, "Princess…" I scowled and followed them nonetheless.

Aladdin:

I had almost completely accidently kissed the princess! I felt like a complete idiot and I couldn't look at her as we were walked back to the palace. I stared at the ground as two guards each held onto my arms, preventing me from making an escape. I hoped Abu was alright. He was lucky enough not to get caught up in this.

The funny thing was…the princess wanted me released. For what reason I couldn't place my finger on it, but she had seemed genuinely upset for me. I felt my heart racing as we entered through the palace gates and then walked up the big pathway, around the massive fountain and towards the palace itself. She walked with us, quietly, avoiding answering any questions the head guard was throwing her.

When we reached the main entryway, which was everything I could have imagined and more in terms of its luxury (big pillars and intricately tiled floor), a tall, looming figure approached us. He wore a dark red cloak and a massive hat, and he looked positively ancient. I was forced onto my knees now and the head guard said, "Sir, we managed to find Jasmine, and we found her with this street rat."
The man approached me and stared at me. I couldn't fathom what he was thinking. The guard continued, "She was about to kiss him, sir." I felt my heart sink. This could only be bad news. Why else would this guard- who despised my guts- bring up this little tidbit of information? The princess interjected seriously, "It was going to be nothing more than a thank you kiss, Jafar. He saved my life in the marketplace."
Jafar walked slowly towards her and I felt my skin crawl. He smiled a false smile…one that told me that he was not impressed with her for some reason or another. He touched her cheek gently with a finger and then ran it down her chin. I felt like I was going to be sick! He said coldly, "Really, my dear? Why did you need saving? Why did you break the rules and go to the market in the first place? You wouldn't have been in this scrape."

Jasmine said in a fierce voice, "I'm tired, Jafar of being cooped up! I need to explore." He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, "That's my little princess, so daring." He sneered at her a little and I wondered for a minute if the other guards felt as awkward as I did watching this.

Then there was an interruption and a man in a white overall came rolling in. He said in a delighted tone, "Jafar, my royal vizier! What is all the drama?" Jafar retreated from Jasmine and chuckled, "Well, my little princess ran off into town without permission. And came back with this street rat." This caused the guard to chuckle and I realized this must be the Sultan! I was still on the floor but I lowered my head so that my temple rested against the stone floor too.
The Sultan said in exasperation, "Jasmine! You know…" She finished his sentence, "I know, father! But this boy saved my life! I was in the market and this fruitseller all but chopped my arm off… "Um…" I knew she wanted to ask my name, but she wasn't sure if she could, "Aladdin," I supplied for her, my head still on the floor.

There was silence and Jasmine continued, "Aladdin saved my life," she finished indignantly. Jafar sighed and the Sultan replied, "Well then, if this is the case, then the boy simply must join us for dinner!" Jasmine let out a squeal of delight and the Sultan approached me, "Dear boy, please off the floor. I thank you for saving my daughter's life. Will you join us for dinner?" I lifted my head up off the floor, "I'd be delightdc, Sir." I couldn't believe I was being formally invited to dinner by the Sultan! The guards did most definitely not look too impressed. I suppose every cloud has a silver lining.

Jasmine:

Aladdin was staying for dinner! I could hardly believe it. What luck! I'm surprised Jafar allowed this…after that little incident regarding us almost kissing. I'd had to lie through my teeth and say it was a thank you kiss. I bet Aladdin was disgusted with me though, now that he knew I was engaged to this cad! I hadn't really had much say in the matter…my father insisted. And we hadn't broken the news to the rest of Agraba yet, so…

I hurried up to my rooms and to take off my brown robes. Aladdin followed me as he looked pretty out of place and awkward, "Thanks for um…defending me," he said somewhat sheepishly. I smiled as we walked down the massive hallway, "It was the least I could do for you. You saved my life, after all. I should be the one thanking you."

This caused Aladdin to smile and he stared around the big tall walls he had dreamed about. He whispered, "This palace is…really something!" I opened my bedroom door and then checked that no guards were around. Technically no men were allowed inside my room. There was no-one. I pulled him in and closed the door behind me, "I know. It's a prison!"

Aladdin stared at my room and his jaw dropped at all the luxury. I pulled off my brown robes and then walked to the cupboard to grab a jersey. It was getting chilly and I found the warmest one I could find. Then I heard him yell and I turned, "What…" when I saw Rajah stalking towards him, hairs on end. He stared at the tiger and gasped, "You have a tiger in your room?!"

I laughed and walked back to him, "Rajah is my best friend." I patted him and he relaxed a little (Rajah not Aladdin). He purred as I stroked him and Aladdin gaped confusedly, "Of all things…I did not expect this!" he said dumbfounded. This caused me to chuckle and I sighed, "Well I guess we better get going to dinner. But there is one more thing that I forgot…"

I trailed off and watch him try and pat Rajah who seemed to accept it. He frowned and asked, "What is that, princess?" I swayed my hips as I walked towards him and then, when I got close enough, kissed him firmly on the lips. He was stunned; there was no doubt about that! I could feel him blinking, and his hands remained at his side, but then slowly, hesitantly, found themselves in my hair.

This was nothing like being kissed by Jafar. This was a heart-pounding, knees-shaking, shiver-making kind of kiss. Jafar's kisses were always demanding and loveless. This is what I had been looking for. I pulled away for a second because I couldn't comprehend the differences. I inhaled sharply and stared into his eyes which were chocolate-brown. I loved his eyes.

Aladdin said nothing for a minute before awkwardly clearing his throat, "So um…Jafar?" I bit my lip and glanced down at the ground, "Yes. Jafar. We're engaged." He looked at me skeptically, and then glanced at the floor, "So why did you kiss me? That wasn't a thank you kiss." I smiled and whispered, "I'm not marrying Jafar because I want to. It's because I have to. Remember what I said about my father forcing me to get married?" Aladdin nodded and sighed, "I just thought since you're not wearing a ring…"

I shook my head and walked over to my massive dresser. "I left my ring here when I left the palace. I didn't think I'd need it again." He raised his eyebrows at me and followed me. I took the ring out of my drawer and showed it to him. He took it and scrutinized it thoroughly, "Wow!" It was a massive, oval shaped thing with two rows of diamonds dotted around the side of it, and the ring itself was gold-plated. It was so heavy I hated wearing it, but I could see that Aladdin was bedazzled by it. He was gaping and I smiled, "You want it?" I could see he wanted to say yes but he refrained, "No, thank you. What a beauty!"

I rolled my eyes and muttered, "We better get you ready for dinner. You can't go like that, you know." He stared down at his attire and mumbled, "Uh…right. But where will I find clothing?" I pulled him out of my room and we walked to the next room. It was a closet filled of men and women's clothing. Daddy always bought pieces he'd found interesting even if he couldn't wear it himself.
Aladdin found something decent and changed into it. I waited outside for him and I grinned when he came out, "Much better," I commented without waiting for him to ask. They were plain white in color and had golden trimmings around the edges. I smiled and whispered, "Very handsome…" before he blushed in embarrassment. He held out a hand for me, "Shall we?" I nodded and happily took hold of his hand, "We shall."

A/N:Hi All! Just a little idea I came up with because I'd like to see how it played out. What if Jasmine was engaged to Jafar before she met Aladdin? How would everything turn out? Please follow this story to see what happens next!
