I'm sorry it's been so long, I've been busy with midterms, and projects, and I'm betaing a story...
Well, enough of this! On to the new chapter!
I snorted as Iago clung to the cage bars, looked horrifiedly at Al as my brother locked the cage.
"Are you kidding?" Iago asked incredulously, looking between Al and I. "He hates me!"
"Hey, he isn't the only one, bird-brain." I muttered, glaring at Al, who was trying to reassure both of us that it would be fine.
"Shut it, Princey," Iago snapped at me, glaring. I grinned smugly at annoying the parrot, then turned back to Al.
"What would Jasmine think about this?" I asked him, 'accidentally' setting Iago off.
I hated that sad excuse for a bird.
"Yeah! What about the princess?" Iago asked, now obviously wishing he hadn't come to Al. I still couldn't help grinning at the birds misery.
How unusually...evil of me.
"Hey, don't worry about her," Al assured Iago, and I raised an eyebrow at his self-empowering answer.
"Wasn't it lies that got you in trouble the first time?" I asked the question I had been wanting to ask since I first saw this movie. Al seemed to deflate a bit, flinching at the memory.
"I just need time to get Jasmine...prepared." Was his weak defense, and I sighed heavily and obviously, at his avoidance of my question.
"Get me prepared for what?" Said a familiar voice. Al whirled around to see Jasmine walked towards us. I pretended I was surprised to see her, oh, how Disney can be so cruel sometimes...
"Ah!" Al exclaimed, stepping in front of the cage to hide Iago. I pretended to start to walk up to her, then stopped. Really, I was helping to hide Iago, just less suspiciously and with a little more grace than Al. "Uh...uh-for the stain Abu got on the new vest you gave him." Al said, looking at me for backup.
I didn't acknowledge him.
Jasmine looked at Abu's vest as the little monkey swung down to my shoulder. Not seeing anything, she looked up at Al.
"I don't see a stain." She said, and Al shot me his best puppy eyes. I glared at him, then distracted Jasmine.
"It must've wiped off when he was playing," I said thoughtfully, and Al sighed in relief.
"Well, no harm done! Now, off the dinner! Wouldn't want to keep the Sultan waiting." Al said in a rush, pulling Jasmine along, away from Iago. Jasmine stopped, looking suspiciously at Al and I.
"Is something wrong?" She asked, looking Al in the eye. He grinned nervously.
"Wrong? No! There's nothing wrong!" He said quickly, making it extremely obvious that he was lying. Jasmine leaned closer to him, grinning mischievously.
"You're not...hiding anything from me, are you? Anymore secrets?" Jasmine asked, and Al gulped guiltily.
"S-s-s-secrets?" He asked, the guilt practically hanging in the air around him. He then cleared his throat, attempting to get his cool back. "Of course not. I almost lost you once that way. I'll never make that mistake again." He said smoothly, and instantly, Jasmine's eyes softened with love. They leaned in to kiss while I rolled my eyes in frustration and annoyance.
'What happens after this?' I thought to myself, trying to recall. I was literally shaken out of my thoughts as the ground shook. 'Oh, yeah!'
The water from the fountain swirled up into the air in a whirlpool-like fashion. I took a fake shocked step back, really hiding my excitement.
"YEEHAH!" Came the shout, and we all looked up to see Genie, decked out in a Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses, bagpipes, a grass skirt, and an eskimo hat, holding a crap-load of suitcases under his arms. He was riding the wave he created on a blue and yellow surfboard, grinning widely.
As he landed, we all rushed forward excitedly to hug him. I grinned as Genie turned dark red.
"Ooh, ah, hoo! WATCH THE SUNBURN!" He shouted, cringing away from us. Al and Jasmine stepped back in shock and confusion; I followed them, slightly shocked, even though I knew it was coming. After a moment, Genie turned back to his normal blue and laughed. "Kidding!" He said, then poofed in between Al and Jasmine.
"Did ya miss me? Be honest!" Genie asked, and I grinned, walking up to him.
"Yes!" I stated the obvious, and Genie grinned at me, ruffling my hair.
"Missed ya too, happy-hoppy." He laughed, and I raised an eyebrow at the nickname.
"You're gonna keep that nickname?" I asked him, and Genie nodded.
"Yup, until you manage to do something so embarrassing, I'll have to change it!" He replied enthusiastically, and I rolled my eyes.
"Thank you so much, Genie." I said sarcastically, then smiled, just to show him I was partly kidding. "So, you have fun on your trip around the world?" I asked, and he flashed me his trademark grin.
"Oh yeah! Some of the places I've been and seen... it's amazing!" He said, then poofed over Abu and handed him the suitcases. "Take these, my good mammal." Genie said in a snooty, rich-person voice. When Genie left go, the weight of the cases pulled Abu off of Al's shoulder and down to the ground.
"Careful, they're heavy." Genie said too late, grinning down at a disgruntled Abu. He then proceeded to hand out random pieces of junk.
To Jasmine, he handed an African bear decoration. He slapped a sombrero onto Al's head, then a put a baseball cap on Abu's. He also gave Abu a little red flag, and a hotdog that was still steaming. I laughed when I saw Carpets gift; a dashboard hula dancer, which Genie demonstrated by giving the skirt a light shove.
"Ooh, she dances." Genie said. I looked around at everyone's gifts.
"Nothing for me?" I asked, feeling slightly left out, but not letting it show, of course. Genie grinned.
"Of course not, I would never forget about you, happy-hoppy!" He said, and I put my hands on my hip expectantly. Genie pulled out a small package and handed it to me. I raised an eyebrow at it, then carefully opened the loud neon green wrapping.
There was a small, plain, beige, and unassuming box. I glared at Genie, sighed irately as he grinned, then opened the box.
Inside was a beautiful rose hairpin laying on a bed of white silk. The petals were cut from a gem I didn't know, a gorgeous white that had little streaks of pale pink and lavender throughout them, exactly like the rose I had crushed in the first movie. The stem and single leaf were both emerald, highlighting the petals perfectly.
"Try not to break this one, okay?" Genie whispered jokingly, and I smiled, wiping at the tears that had suddenly sprung to my eyes. I was really thankful for the fact that I had met him here.
I took the pin out of the box and clipped it in my hair. The box and paper suddenly poofed away, and the watery grin on my face grew.
"Thank you, Genie." I said sincerely, hugging him quickly around the waist. He hugged me back.
"So, you saw the whole world already?" I said, and Genie suddenly split into four international figures from that annoying Disney ride called...oh what was it...
"It's a small world after all." Sang Genie as the four figures, then he poofed right back up beside Al. That's right...that's what it's called. Damn it, I had almost forgotten!
"But Agrabah has something that no other place in the world has." Genie said, then turned into a firework and lit his fuse. He zoomed around the garden, then back around to pick us all up. "You guys!"
We flew into the sky on Genie, then he exploded into fireworks shaped like the Taj Mahal.
I parachuted down into the Taj Mahal.
We floated a bit while Genie acted as parachute, then he poofed away and we fell into a cart pulled a chinese Genie along the Great Wall of China.
I roller bladed
Along the great Great Wall!
We poofed on a old-fashioned bicycle, all on Genie's shoulders as he crashed into the Leaning Tower of Pizza.
I even made the famous
Leaning Tower fall,
The tower was about the fall on us, but Genie leaned against it, stopping the fall.
But who was with me through it all?
Nobody!
He yelled, popping up behind us and scaring us.
The Moscow Circus
Hired me to fly trapeze
We were suddenly in the circus, all on a pole holding up the trapeze wire watching Genie, who was now some sort of bear.
On Mount Olympus,
Ran a race with Hercules
Genie ran in front of Hercules, and I was disappointed when I saw it wasn't the Disney Hercules. Aladdin 2 may of come first, but I was still a little miffed. I thought I might actually get to meet the hunk.
It's easy when you're chased by killer bees!
He yelled and we were all forced to run from some evil-looking bees.
Who said "gesundheit" when I sneezed?
We took cover from the bees under water, and Genie turned into a mer...man... genie...oh, he had a fin, for crying out loud! He then sneezed loudly and obnoxiously.
ACHOO
Al, Jasmine and I were soaking wet, and I instinctively shook my short hair free of the water. Then checked to make sure the delicate rose was still in place.
So now I'm home,
Genie sang, coming out of a taxi, dressed in a sailor suit.
Home again with you,
You chase the clouds away
Genie turned into the sun and dried our clothes out, then poofed up behind us and pulled us into a hug.
Whenever I am blue
"You're always blue!" Al and I commented at the same time.
And though the pyramids,
I highly recommend
There is nothing in the world
Quite like a friend!
Al and Jasmine were turned into some huge Egyptian statues, while I was on the other side as the Sphinx.
Slept like a babe in Bombay
On a bed of nails
Genie sang, dressed in a turban and sitting on a bed of nails.
Moroccans dug my daring dance
Of seven veils
He then poofed into a mini belly-dancer, dancing around on Al's outstretched palms.
Why, single-handedly
I even saved the whales!
A captain Genie sang, dumping a fishbowl into the water at a dock, and the fish turned into a whale.
No one was there to hear my tales!
The whale spurted genie out of his water spout, and Genie started crying after he finished the line.
In Acapulco,
Joined a Mariachi band
We were all suddenly in Mariachi band, Jasmine and I were dancers and Al playing the trumpet.
I rode the raging rapids
Down the Rio Grande
A miner Genie sang, rowing all the way into Al's trumpet. An air balloon came out of the trumpet next, and we were all suddenly thousands of feet up in the air.
Flew in a air balloon,
But when I tried to land
Nobody laughed,
Or lent a hand
The bottom of the basket broke, and we were all sent spiraling towards the ground.
Without you, the Amazon is
Just a trickle
We were caught in an Amazon explorer Genie's net as he showed us the small line of water that was the supposed Amazon River.
Without you, the Sahara's
Not so hot
I felt a tap on my arm, and turned to find an eskimo Genie in a snow-covered Sahara, poking a fish at me.
Without you, Niagara Falls
Is just a leaky faucet
Al looked up when he felt a drop of water on his head, to find Genie a tap, dripping water on us. I snorted at the Canadian accent.
The QEII
Is just some yacht
A water droplet formed into a British Genie, and he smashed bottle against the side of the QEII itself.
Now that I'm home,
Home again, it's clear,
We flew around the tower in the boat, stopping at Jasmine's balcony.
All I ever wanted
Seems to be right here
Genie sang after Al, Jasmine and I slid down the anchor rope to the balcony floor.
Two more heads appeared on Genie's shoulders and sang with him.
I've traveled East and West
And now, I'm back again
He used his tail as a lasso and pulled us over to him with it.
There is nothing in the world
Quite like a friend..
There's nothing in the world
Al and I sang together, getting ready for the finale.
Nothing in the whole wide world
Jasmine sang, and I winced at the over-dramatic movements she did while singing.
There is nothing in the world
Quite like a friend!
We all sang together, holding the note for longer than most people could. 'I wonder who voiced my singing.' I thought humorously.
We finished with the note, and Genie poofed up a mini Earth, and spun it like a basketball.
Nothing in the whole wide world!
Genie concluded, poofing us back to the garden.
Well, hope you guys enjoyed! I know Jaimie and Azlaan haven't been mentioned in a while, but they should be soon!
I would love to get lot's of reviews for this one! They give me incentive to type even faster!
Flames will be used to roast Edward and Bella Cullen 'til they're ashes!
