I do not own Aladdin.
Enjoy!
"Prince Ali," said one of his servants as he stood in formal attire. "Its time to go"
He looked back at the streets that he had gone through hundreds of times before and called his home.
He would have done anything to stay and give Jafar a piece of his mind, but his life actually had an enormous amount of value now.
He turned back and began to climb up his elephant, he didn't know that a princess had infiltrated his Caravan when they were all asleep.
He saw the two children on top of the elephant eating out of the bowl of fresh fruit.
"We're going." He said. "Are you sure, you two don't want to say goodbye to anybody in the kingdom?"
Both kids that were stuffing their faces shook their heads.
He motioned for the caravan to advance and everything began to move forward, their destination was to the border.
Unknown to them one of Jafar men was watching them behind a stone wall from afar and when he saw their large party disappear from view, he ran directly to the palace.
The doors were immediately opened for him and he went to find Jafar in his much less creepy room then wasn't underneath the Palace.
"Master! The prince has left!" Said the man.
Left?
That was music to Jafar ears.
"Thank you for informing me," said Jafar. "Now the princess can have no distractions when it comes to finding a worthy husband to marry" and then with a hand gesture he tossed a gold coin at the man and the man took it, his eyes filled with greed when he saw it.
"T-Thank you, Master," said the man bowing repeatedly before running out.
"Now to hypnotize that pesky girl into marrying you," said Lago. "That idiot has already given his blessing"
"Yes," said Jafar, he could feel the control of the entire Kingdom within his reach.
He walked out, his cape blowing as he headed to find Jasmine.
However, when he asked and checked all the corners of the palace, he found nothing.
But Rajah, that blasted tiger was still here and given him the stink eye.
Suddenly a thought came to him and he smiled a big devious smile at the stupidity of Jasmine.
She had escaped.
And Prince Ali had just left.
"Why are you smiling?" Said Lago.
"I'm about to have a field day slandering Prince Ababo," said Jafar.
#Scene Change#
The caravan with Prince Ali inside passed the border showing nothing but sand for miles around.
The Kids excitement of leaving the kingdom to venture out into the unknown died after the first hour of nonstop sand.
"Are we there yet?" Said the boy.
"We're almost there," said Prince Ali.
"Define almost," said the girl who was older and more logical.
"3 weeks," he said, and both of them groaned.
But there wasn't anything faster then an elephant or a camel in this sand terrain, so this was as good as it was going to get.
When the blazing sun came down and the desert was a lot cooler, they stopped by a lake that the guide had marked, to eat, rest up and feed the animals.
Prince Ali made sure everybody, both human and animal were being fed before he even took a bite, unknowingly raising his people opinion of him.
It was rear to find Royalty not insistent on eating first and getting the best portion right off the bat.
He then went to bed and when morning came he did the exact same thing.
He bathed with the common men instead of insisting on getting his own closed off section and having somebody to attend to him as he washed.
Prince Ali may give him the right to marry a princess but it was his experience as Aladdin that showed him what it was like to grow up with nothing.
Once everybody was clean and fed, they departed and continued this journey.
Get to a checkpoint, eat, drink, depart, get to a checkpoint, eat, drink, sleep and depart.
This was the same routine for a whole solid week.
But at the end of that week, Prince Ali decided to break that routine by being awake to hear the cracking of a campfire under a night sky and the snoring of two children near his ear.
He decided to take a walk.
He slid down his elephant's trunk and onto the sandy surface below, he began to walk, heading for the fire subconsciously.
When be got close, he heard.
"Isn't Prince Ali, one of a kind?" Said a big-boned woman who was the instructor for the lady dancers. "How many royals can you say, waits for the people and animals to eat first before he does? Or bathes with his people?"
"That's rear," said their guide. "I've only heard horror stories from other Kingdoms regarding their nobility. A friend of mine was forced to be a stool for a fat Royal. His back was out for two months but that Royal didn't care. He wasn't being paid enough to get medical treatment. He is now crippled for life"
Prince Ali was about to walk past without them noticing when he heard a familiar voice.
"That sounds horrible"
He stopped in his tracks and his eyes began to slowly widen.
That voice...
"I'll tell you what's terrible," said the woman. "The situation with Prince Ali. He finally found a woman that wasn't stuck up and treated servants like trash. But he almost drowned trying to court her. I could tell Princess Jasmine was special"
"Well, it's really too bad but he's the heir to our throne," said the man. "The King isn't getting any younger and there are many who are eyeing the throne. Can you imagine the war that would appear after the current king dies?"
"War?" Said the voice that had him turning around and walking.
"You know the war between, the two major powers," said the woman, before she said with a little suspicion in her eyes. "Who are you? What's your name?"
She didn't think her dance girls would have any reason to hide her face from her.
The man started to look at her suspiciously as well.
Jasmine knows she had to do some fast talk and said. "Ur, just a curious dan-"
Large hands ripped the veil from her chin and the two adults eyes went wide.
"Princess Jasmine!" They both said.
Busted.
Jasmine was up and said. "Sorry, you got the wrong-" turning around only to bump head first into a flat but strong chest, making her say. "Sorry"
She looked up and saw it was none other than Prince Ali, the last person she knew should see her.
The two behind them saw him and gave him immediate respect.
"Excuse me for a moment," he said, before grabbing Jasmine arm and ignoring her cries as he yanked it.
When they got a safe distance away from the Caravan, he finally let go and he had to count back from 3 or he would explode.

"Please tell me, you have a Caravan waiting to take you home" he suddenly said very calmly to her.
But his hope was met with silence.
Cold hard silence.
"How about telling me, you did not sneak into my caravan a week ago and you just happened to be passing by?" He said.
Jasmine couldn't say a thing.
"Jasmine!" Prince Ali said.
"Okay, I snuck into your caravan" she confessed. "I thought I could do what you did. Sneak into another Kingdom and be somebody else. No rules. Nobody to tell me to sit up straight. I could see the world"
"Yasmine, we may be both royalty but we are not the same," said Prince Ali. "I snuck into a Kingdom that I have never been into before and nobody could connect my face to royalty. You are the Princess, I have been trying to woo for several days. Everybody in this Caravan knows your face! If you had made it into my kingdom, did it ever cross your mind that there are 106 people who can call you out if they saw you walk down the street? How long did you think you can walk around without showing your face for?"
Yasmine was dead silent, as Prince Ali revealed the plot holes in her seemingly solid plan.
"And then there are my Kingdoms relations with yours," said Prince Ali. "Kidnapping a Princess is more than enough reason to cut ties with my Kingdom"
"You didn't kidnap me though," said Yasmine.
"Well, did you at least tell somebody where you were going like your father before you ran away?" He said, looking at her.
Her silence was deafening.
"Jasmine, you have finished me in your kingdom," said Prince Ali. "I can never step foot in that Kingdom ever again, the punishment for kidnapping royalty is death. Jafar is probably slandering me, this very minute, making sure I receive the maximum penalty if I'm ever seen again. My God, this would create a domino effect, if the other Kingdoms found out"
"Jafar, would never do something like that," said Jasmine.
But even after all that man has done, she was still naive.
He had already slandered him.
#Early that Day#
Jafar had waited for the news to get out and let it soak in for a bit before all the citizens of Agrabah were gathered at the centre of the Kingdom where there was supposedly an important announcement that they all needed to hear.
Jafar stood before them on a balcony in his dark robes, behind was a Sultan who looked slightly dazed but functioning.
When enough people came, Jafar put on his greatest act to date, his voice amplified by a spell and said.
"People of the proud kingdom of Agrabah!" Said Jafar, taking his face out of his hand, showing a face of sorrow. "I regret to inform you that the rumours are true. Our beloved, Princess. Princess Jasmine has been kidnapped by a barbaric criminal"
There were gasps amongst the crowd of people.
"But we know his Identity," said Jafar. "His name is Prince Ali Ababwa!"
There were some more shocked gasps.
"It is true," said Jafar, looking sorrowful. "To this Kingdom, he was a kind person but he was anything but indoors. The Princess saw this and did not wish to marry such a cruel prince. So she rejected him" he paused for dramatic effect. "However, Prince Ali did not take this rejection well. I and my men witnessed with our own two eyes, Prince Ali harasses our beloved princess, on numerous occasions. When I finally grew concerned enough for the Princesses safety, I sent my six brave men to protect our beloved princess."
Silence.
"But I found them unconscious, tied to a tree, lucky to still be alive," said Jafar. "They told me how Prince Ali used his highly skilled bodyguards to engage them and kidnap the princess from right under their nose's! With their level of skill, they didn't stand a chance" he paused again. "When they came to, it was already too late, the prince had departed back to his Country. He has kidnapped the princess and who knows what he's doing to her as we speak"
There was uproar just like he wanted, at the injustice he painted before them.
"However, we are not helpless," said Jafar. "If we can not find the Princess, we can take matters into our own hands and cut ties with the Kingdom of Alibwa and make them hurt until they hand over the princess and the prince is given an appropriated punishment before our eyes!"
Silence.
"Yeah!" Suddenly a man said who was really one of Jafar men.
"That's right!" Said another man.
"Down with Ababwa!" Said, one woman. "Give us back our princess!"
"Down with Ababwa!" They all began to chant.
"Down with Ababwa!"
"Down with Ababwa!"
"Spread the word!" Said Jafar. "Cut all ties. Show them we are not a Kingdom to be bullied!"
The people marched through the streets while yelling "DOWN WITH ABABWA!"
Jafar was high from power, and Lago who was on his shoulder smirked.
Why didn't he think of this before? He could control the Sultan and have public opinion back him up.
However, Jafar was about to learn, just because he never heard of a Kingdom doesn't make it insignificant.
And scene!
