Chapter: 3
It was another peaceful day at the Palace in the city of Agrabrah. Until something happens. The door to the Gardens suddenly bursts open, and Prince Achmed storms in, very angry about something. "I've never been so insulted!" said Prince Achmed. The Sultan, a short and jolly man, with a childish mind, was already at the door when he storms in. He was there waiting and hoping for his daughter, Princess Jasmine, to accept him. But when he saw Achmed storming in, he saw that it didn't go right. "Oh, Prince Achmed. You're not leaving so soon, are you?" asked the Sultan. And that's when he notices the back of Prince Achmed's pants is missing, as if torn right off. "Good luck marrying her off!" said Prince Achmed as he storms off. The Sultan then became angry and goes into the Garden looking for his daughter. He finds her sitting at the fountain just minding her own business. "Oh, Jasmine! Jasmine! Jasmine!" said the Sultan as he approaches her. But he was blocked off in his path by Rajah, Jasmine's pet tiger. The Sultan then notices that Rajah has a piece of the Prince's undershorts in his Sultan then grabs the cloth and yanks it out of Rajah's mouth. "Confound it, Rajah! So, this is why Prince Achmed stormed out!" said the Sultan.
"Oh, father. Rajah was just playing with him, weren't you Rajah?" said Jasmine. Rajah comes over and allows Jasmine to pet and hug him. "You were just playing with that overdressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren't you?" said Jasmine. She cuddles with RAJAH, enjoying the moment, until she looks up at her angry father. " Ahem" said Jasmine clearing her throat to change the subject. "Dearest, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor that comes to call. The law says you..." said the Sultan.
"...must be married to a prince" said both of them as Jasmine rolled her eyes as she walked over to a dove cage as her father followed behind.
"By your next birthday" said the Sultan saying the next part alone.
"The law is wrong" said Jasmine.
"You've only got three more days!" said the Sultan with a worried tone of voice.
"Father, I hate being forced into this." said Jasmine as she takes a dove out of the cage and pets it and a soft smile appears on her lips. "If I do marry, I want it to be for love".
"Jasmine, it's not only this law" said the Sultan. She hands him the dove, and he puts it back in the cage. "I'm not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you're taken care of, provided for" said the Sultan.
"Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own" said Jasmine as she swirls her finger in the water of the pond, petting the fish. "I've never had any real friends". Rajah looks up at her and growls just as he heard it. Jasmine smiled and said "Except you, Rajah". Feeling satisfied, Rajah goes back to sleep. "I've never even been outside the palace walls" said Jasmine as she looks down on her own reflection in the pond.
"But Jasmine, you're a princess" said the Sultan.
"Then maybe I don't want to be a princess!" said Jasmine as she splashes the water where her reflection is at. This infuriates the Sultan. "Oooohhh! Allah forbid you should have any daughters!" said the Sultan. Rajah looks up and thinks for a second, confused by what the Sultan said. Jasmine also thinks for second, and then, she goes to the dove cage and yanks open the door. The birds flew out of the cage and out into freedom, with Jasmine watching them go.
"I don't know where she gets it from" said the Sultan as he enters his chamber where there is large collection of toys, some big and small. He messes around with a large replica of the city of Agrabrah. "Her mother wasn't nearly so picky" said the Sultan. Then a shadow falls over him. He looks up startled and sees his vizier with his parrot perching on his shoulder. "Ooh, oh. Ah, Jafar-my most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom" said the Sultan.
"My life is but to serve you, my lord" said Jafar as he bows.
"It's this suitor business. Jasmine refuses to choose a husband. I'm at my wit's-end!" said the Sultan being worried.
"Awk! Wit's-end" said Iago in a parrot voice. The Sultan does not know that he can talk like humans do, so Iago has to speak in parrot-like. "Oh, ha ha. Have a cracker, pretty polly!" said the Sultan and he pulls a cracker out from his pocket. But Iago looks terrified. Because the Sultan always feeds him by stuffing a lot of crackers into his mouth. The Sultan then stuffs it in Iago's mouth. Iago grimaces as he tries to eat it, leaving Jafar and the Sultan both laughing. "Your majesty certainly has a way with dumb animals" laughed Jafar. Iago glares at him after he said it. "Now then, perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem" said Jafar.
"If anyone can help, it's you" said the Sultan.
"Ah, but it would require the use of the mystic blue diamond" said Jafar. The Sultan then looks at his blue diamond ring he's holding, and is concerned about it. "Uh, my ring? But it's been in the family for years" said the Sultan.
"It is necessary to find the princess a suitor" said Jafar, saying the word ''princess'' with the accent on the second syllable, "cess''. Then he turns his staff with a cobra head towards the Sultan. The cobra eyes of the staff then begins to glow red. Jafar actually has a magic staff from a faraway place. He uses it for his way of ''negotiating''. The Sultan's eyes gets a hypnotized look as Jafar's staff hypnotizes him. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine" said Jafar in a sinister way.
"Everything...will be...fine" said the hypnotized Sultan.
"The diamond" said Jafar.
"Here, Jafar. Whatever you need will be fine" said the Sultan as he removes his ring and hands it to Jafar. Jafar takes the ring and pulls back the staff. "You are most gracious, my liege. Now run along and play with your little toys" said Jafar and then he and Iago left the room.
"Yes...that'll be...pretty good" said the Sultan still hypnotized. When Jafar and Iago are out of the room, the parrot spits out the cracker. "I can't take it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers...Bam! Whack!" said Iago. Jafar then pulls a rope, which reveals a hidden entrance to his chambers. "Calm yourself, Iago" said Jafar.
"Then I'd grab him around the head. Whack! Whack!" said Iago as they entered.
"Soon, I will be sultan, not that addlepated twit" said Jafar speaking over Iago.
"And then I stuff the crackers down his throat! Ha ha!" laughed Iago as they pass through a door and slams it shut. By the time they entered their chamber, Jafar hears a voice from the darkness. "I suppose this ''plan'' of yours will work?" asked a voice whose tone is so mysterious.
"Yes, I hope you are ready. Right, Mewtwo?" asked Jafar with an evil smile. Then a dark figure approaches him from the shadows and faced him. A powerful pokemon named Mewtwo. Mewtwo then nods slightly and said "I AM ready".
Hours later, the Garden was in a peaceful state of quiet. Not a soul is even around. But a shadowy figure appears and walks through the place. It moves along the shadows of the trees and night, quietly as it goes. Then we see that it is Jasmine in cloak, trying to find a way to escape the palace. She knows that the only time to leave is around midnight, where there won't be any guards around the walls. As she looks around, she finds a tree tall enough for her to climb on top of the palace's walls. She starts to climb on the tree and she climbs it, she felt a tugged from behind. She looks down and sees Rajah with his teeth clenched onto it. And the tiger was sad, seeing his friend go. "Oh, I'm sorry, Rajah. But I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I'll miss you" said Jasmine as she climbs down and hugs him, what was supposed to be their last time together. Then she starts climbing back on the tree to the top of the wall, and this time, she was helped up by Rajah. As soon as she reached the top of the wall, she looked back down at Rajah, who begins to whine and whimper. "Goodbye!" said Jasmine and disappears over the wall.
It seems that Mewtwo has joined Jafar! But why did he? Read on to find out! Please review!
