Amal had been very quiet in school. Ever since Aladdin's death, Amal had not been the same.
Amal's best friend, Safiya had been worried about Amal. Amal and Safiya used to be inseparable but ever since Aladdin's death, Amal needed time to himself.
While Amal was in school, Jasmine approached Jafar.
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me over at Zani's place? I don't have anything planned for tonight. No princess meetings or anything," Jasmine suggested.
"Well sure, I'd love to hang out with you, it's on me," Jafar told her.
"No, it's okay. I'll pay for it. It was my idea, so I should pay for it," Jasmine replied.
"I owe you for being so good to me," Jafar insisted.
"Okay but next one is on me," Jasmine finally agreed.
They went over to Zanibab's to get a cup of coffee.
"Aww look at the lovely couple," Zanibab remarked.
"We're not really a couple, yet. As you heard Aladdin passed away, after being attacked homophobes. Jasmine has been there for me ever since. It's been hard for me, raising Amal. Jasmine has always been there for me, even when I wasn't always there. I feel I owe her one," Jafar told Zanibab.
"I am very sorry for your loss. Sure we are not exactly the best of friends, but at times like this why make enemies?" Zani told Jafar.
Both Jafar and Jasmine were shocked to here that out of Zanibab. Zani was never exactly Miss Sensitive.
Zanibab lead Jafar and Jasmine to their table.
"May I take your order?" asked one of the waitresses.
"Yes please, two cups of regular coffee with cream, and a chocolate raspberry torte," Jasmine ordered.
"Does your friend want anything to eat?" asked the waitress.
"Nah, we're sharing the torte," Jafar told her.
"You two are so adorable," the waitress remarked.
While the waitress was bringing the food, Jafar and Jasmine had a talk.
"You remember the time we were hanging out in that cabin together, the abandoned cabin. Before Sandra and the others knew about us? I told you how much I loved you, and that I wished that we could be married and have kids of our own someday. You told me you loved me but you were committed to Aladdin. You told me Aladdin never gave you enough affection, and that's the reason you turned to me. Then as time went on we started to really fall in love with each other, that's when you confessed your true feelings for me. That I was more than just someone you sneak around with, that I was your soul mate. Then when you finally told your friends about us, it was over between you and Sandra, because of that commitment you made. Until she broke the friendship, you said you wanted me, not Aladdin. Then you ran back into Aladdin's arms. I was so angry, I felt hurt and betrayed by you. That's why I started the whole explosion, the mess. Almost killing you. When I saw you lying on the floor, that's when I realized how wrong I have been. I tried to make it up to you by giving you that kiss, and it woke you up. Yet your whole memory was destroyed, and Aladdin and I had to help put you back together. After you came back, you forgave me, and accepted me. Agreed to still see me while you were engaged to Aladdin. You told me that as much as you loved me, Aladdin was your first, and that your first love will always be number one. That's when I finally respected your decision. Then I helped you get ready for your wedding while we continued our affair. You asked me to walk you down the isle. I just couldn't bring myself to it. I would keep dreaming that I was the one marrying you, not Aladdin. Yet I still attended your wedding, but I sat in the back row. I pushed myself to keep my mouth shut when the sultan asked if anybody objected to the marriage. Then a few months later, after you two were married Aladdin fell in love with me, so he annulled the marriage. My question was why would Aladdin fall in love with me? I mean I was the one who tried to kill Aladdin so many times. What could he possibly see in me? Yet I loved him too, so I hurt you again. Yet you still wanted to be friends. Instead of starting the explosion like I did, you let me go to be with Aladdin, and still remained friends with us. Now with Aladdin gone, I feel a whole part of me is missing. I don't deserve you, or anybody," Jafar took Jasmine's hand.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of, we all make mistakes. We're humans. I can tell you the biggest mistake I've made. We knew each other, but the connection was not there yet. I didn't know Aladdin at the time. I was a thirteen at the time, and there was this boy I really liked. His name was Ajahad (Pronounced A-haad). He liked me too. When he finally asked me out, I turned him down. I was just too scared to admit my feelings. Then when I finally faced up to it, it turns out he found a new girlfriend, but it was never meant to be after all. If it was I would never have found you or Aladdin," Jasmine explained her mistake.
"Well, that's nothing compared to what I've done," Jafar told her.
"There's more to it. After he found a new girlfriend, I punched his new girlfriend out.
Jafar's eyes almost popped out.
"How could somebody as innocent as you do something like that!?!?!?" asked Jafar.
"Well I was not always the innocent girl you've known me to be. After punching her out. I was sent to the office of course. They made me apologize to her, which I did, and of course I was grounded," Jasmine let out a soft laugh remembering it.
"Well I guess we both had our share of mistakes," Jafar let out a soft laugh too.
The chocolate raspberry torte was almost gone, there was one last little sliver.
"I think you should have the rest of it," Jafar offered it to Jasmine.
"Nah, you should," Jasmine told him.
They split it and each got a tiny chunk of it, and fed it to each other.
