A peg legged bat, whose name was Fidget, witnessed a parrot named Iago, in whom he was good friends with, working for an evil sorcerer, Jafar. Fidget was immediately crushed by all this. Melancholy filled the bat's eyes until he couldn't take it anymore, so he sobbed immensely as he sunk to the ground. What can I do to convince Iago that we're still friends? he wondered, Is he going to give in to Jafar like I did Ratigan? Will we stay friends or are we just not meant to be?

All those depressing thoughts reeled through his mind like a tornado uncontrollably.

That was until an idea bored in, causing him lift his chin up and resumed back onto his feet. "That's it!" Fidget said to himself, gleefully, "I'll tell Iago that I also previously worked for a villain." Off he went to confront the parrot and do the right thing.

…

"Iago!" Fidget called.

"What now?" Iago grumbled.

"I'm here to tell you that what you're doing is wrong, but I also worked for a villain in the past."

"You did?" Iago laughed in disbelief.

"It's true! The villain who I worked for brainwashed me, too and his name was Ratigan. He made me think that doing these criminal activities is a good thing, although I know it's wrong."

Iago continued snickering at Fidget's truthful remark. "You're lying, Fidget!" Iago scoffed, "I'm doing the right thing!"

A shocked expression spread across Fidget's face until he lost his temper. "NO, YOU'RE NOT AND I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU!" He listened in to Jafar's plan in betraying Iago for he had a keen sense of hearing. The bat also spotted a cracker enriched with arsenic poison for Iago to eat, which was part of Jafar's intention just so Fidget can prove the parrot wrong.

Fidget bellowed in anger, "Jafar was playing with you all along! He wants to betray you. I even heard all he said and saw him poisoning a cracker so he can make you eat it! Do you feel good about doing bad things now?"

Gradually, Iago became convinced.

"You little fool!" Jafar bellowed.

"Want the lamp, Jafar?" Iago snapped, "Come and get it!"

He and the bat took flight and lured Jafar to the volcano, where Iago can toss the lamp and Jafar will be demolished forever.

Before Jafar can stop the two, Iago already chucked the lamp into the lava, causing Jafar to disintegrate.

With him finally gone, the bird and the bat reconciled with one another.

"Iago, you did it!" Fidget beamed, proud of Iago's heroic act.

"Actually, WE did it," Iago corrected, firmly.

"May I give you a hug?" Fidget asked.

"No, Fidget, I'm good," Iago replied.

"Come on, man, please?" Fidget begged, not wanting to take "no" for an answer.

"Okay," Iago said reluctantly and hugged him.

Off they soared into the night.

The End

Author's note: The beginning was almost inspired by "Sally's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Fidget could be similar to Iago because:

-They're both characters who fly.

-They both previously worked for a villain in the past. Ratigan for Fidget and Jafar for Iago.

-Both suffered the villains' abuse and neglect. In Fidget's case, being fed to Felicia and thrown in the Thames River. Being strangled, in Iago's case and sucked into Jafar's genie lamp.

-Both get upset with the villain for bossing them around.

-Both are sarcastic, cocky, tough, but funny and goodhearted.

-Both team up with the heroes after turning against the villains. Fidget: Basil of Baker Street, Dr. Dawson, Mr. Flaversham, Olivia, and Toby Iago: Aladdin, Jasmine, Sultan, Genie, Abu, Rajah, and the Magic Carpet
