Disclaimer: I do NOT own Aladdin or its affiliated characters. Those belong to Disney. I only own my imagination.
A/N: This just popped into my head the other day when I was watching Aladdin (#1 of course. B 3) so it'll be a little choppy at first, seeing as I have no clear plan for this, unlike my KFP story. But, enjoy!
Chap.1
Genie's POV
"Hey! You stop! THEIF!"
I sidestepped quickly to avoid the brown streak, then again for the not-so-streak like shape of the vendor. The thief, a boy of about of about 10 years or so, shot a look of gratitude my direction before disappearing into an alley.
"Why didn't you stop him? That little street rat made off with some of my wares!" The vendor was puffing in a mixture of anger and lack of oxygen when he finally stumbled back to the wall I had partaken to leaning against.
"I was meditating, so I did not notice him go by." I spoke in a placating tone, hoping to calm the angry man.
"How could you not have seen him? You had to step clear to the side to avoid him!" He pointed out, catching me in a sticky situation.
"Well," I said, thinking fast, "Whatever the case may have been, I'll gladly pay for the items you lost."
This seemed to do the trick, for the man stopped this glaring and proceeded to count up the amount for the few vegetables the boy had swiped. Matching his over-inflated price, I even managed to eke out a 'Thank you.' From him when I bought a potato in addition to the stolen food.
I'm getting ahead of myself again, I'm Genie, former servant and current best friend to the hero of Agrabah: Aladdin, or as I affectionately call him, Al. Now you're probably wondering: 'Genie? Former servant? Aladdin? Genie? Hero? Agrabah? Genie?'
So, let me give you a quick rundown of the scene in this shin-dig; I am-was- the genie of the lamp, a magical being with phenomenal, cosmic abilities. Sounds cool, right? Here's the catch…
A/N: So, watcha' think? Yes…no? This is a more serious side of Genie, which I think is the side that gets overlooked a lot, so I decided to bring it to light. Please R&R people! Thx!
