A/N: just wantd to let you know tiger house=dog house. enjoy R/R

Aladdin tip-toed along the palace walls, hoping that he could remain unseen. It had been three weeks since the Jafar had taken over and Agrabah had certainly changed. The economy was actually doing well and more citizens were getting jobs. Disease and illness were less rapid and stayed under control. However, people were still miserable. There were new taxes, which were mostly for the rich but still had an effect. Most of the taxes were for funding a large statue of Jafar placed in the center of the kingdom. Even though it created jobs, the hours were lousy and the benefits were not good. Drug use and prostitution had gone up exponentially due to Jafar's new laws which treated women like dirt. The police system also became corrupt, and kept a very watchful eye over Aladdin. He would have to hide out in his house all day and hopefully find scraps of food. The only time Aladdin went out was to help the fellow orphan kids who needed his support.

Aladdin came to Jasmine's room as saw the guards standing outside the door. He had to think of something fast to lure their attention away. He looked up at Abu who was now wrapped around his head with fear. Aladdin smirked and thought of an ingenious plan…

"Abu," he whispered.

The monkey squandered down.

"Go and distract the guards while I go in," Aladdin explained.

Abu looked frighten about the bad outcomes that could come from this, but he knew that his friend had to save the princess. He dashed past the guards gaining their full attention. They ran after the monkey leaving Aladdin enough time to sneak into the door.

Jasmine's gloomy face was gazing at her vanity mirror. She was depressed and appeared to look done with life. She was still gorgeous even in her state of sorrow. Her hair flowed in a magical wave and her eyes could make any man's heart burn. Her eyes glistened with the sun's rays beating down upon her. She heard the door close and turned around expecting Jafar or some random guard to be there.

To her joyful surprise it was Aladdin! She rushed to him embracing a huge hug.

"Aladdin!" She cheered.

"Jasmine," Aladdin held her in his arms, never wanting to let her out.

"How—how did you get in?"

"You should know I'm a master at getting around idiots," he chuckled.

"Oh Aladdin!" She kissed him passionately. "Please never leave."

For a second Aladdin thought that was possible, but then reality struck in and he knew that couldn't happen…for now.

"Jasmine," he said firmly, "I came here to rescue you."

Her eyes fell. "Aladdin, that's so heroic of you, but I did this to save you,"

"I know, but I figured if we tried a new tactic it could work,"

"Like what?" Jasmine was in distress. She didn't want Aladdin to be killed—yes killed because Jafar was evil. Duh she thought.

"I haven't exactly gotten that part figured out,"

Jasmine left his arms and sat on her bed. She loved Aladdin so much, but he wasn't the brightest star.

Aladdin sat next to his love. "Don't worry Jas it will be okay—because we're together now,"

"Until the guards come back," she grimaced.

"I think Abu can hold them. All I'm saying that with both our minds together we can think of a brilliant plan,"

Jasmine smiled. This one of the characteristics that she loved about Aladdin that made him different from any other guy; he treated her like a person not an object.

"I still have no clue what to do,"

"Well, force is out of the picture,"

"Yes that didn't seem to go well. With Jafar you gotta treat him like he wants you too, that's the only way I can see us manipulating him,"

"You expect me to act nice to that creep?" Aladdin exclaimed. He couldn't imagine treating that demon with any kindness.

"Aladdin, I want to be free! I can't marry him. Could you imagine being married to Jafar?" Jasmine started to tear up thinking about her grim future.

Aladdin put his arms around her for comfort. He had no clue of the anxiety that Jasmine was having. He couldn't even make images of their married life. Kids? Ewww Aladdin thought. Jafar would probably beat her and demand certain things from her. He shuttered at this.

He peered down at Jasmine who was quietly crying. Her emotions were never that controlled…which seemed to always annoy Jafar. He didn't like her bossy attitude probably because it clashed with his. If Jasmine had her way in the marriage Jafar would always be in the tiger house.

Aladdin grinned. Jasmine saw this and was disturbed by why Aladdin was smiling at her tears.

"What?" She questioned.

"I just thought of an idea!" He said with glee.

"That's great! What is it?" Jasmine wiped the tears from her face.

"I can't tell you," he replied not seeing the consequences in the statement.

"What do you mean?"

"I just can't, you gotta trust me on this," he was confident that she would like she always had.

Jasmine gulped. How many times had she trusted Aladdin? And how many times had that gotten her in trouble?

"Now Aladdin let's not be too hasty. I can really help you out here," she tried to convince.

"No it's okay, I got this,"

Jasmine sighed. This might be the death of him she thought. She then gazed in his amazing brown eyes. She imagined Genie being there saying how could you say no to that face.

"Fine Aladdin, I trust you. Just be safe, if I lose you I don't know what will happen,"

"I know Jasmine. Don't worry it will work. I love you," he kissed her romantically; "I gotta go now I hear Abu coming back."

He hoisted away and left Jasmine in total concern: Something that she should be use to.
