(A/N): Hey guys! I've got another chapter for you!
Okay, this one is another chapter the switches POV's, but not in the same way. Basically what happens is the chapter picks up in the room after Sarah leaves and is told from Lisa's POV. Then, it goes to Jasmine's room and the rest of the story is told from Sarah's POV.
Alright, I think that's all the info I have for you. On to the Reviewer Responses:

Alright Lover's and Fighters, Sinner's and Saints, here's the next chapter!
:Lisa's POV:
I watched as Sarah left the room to confront the disgruntle princess. Poor kid; I was praying for her.
I heard Aladdin sigh and I turned to him, eye brow raised.
"Some Grand Vizier I'm gonna make," he said, picking up his turban, "everyone's mad at me."
I could tell Genie hated seeing his friend so down, so he decided to do something about it.
"Hey, Jasmine's just a little steamed." As he said that, he turned his head into a whistling tea pot. "She'll cool down."
He then took his tea-pot-head off his shoulders and poured some tea into a cup, offering it to Al.
"Care for a cup?" he asked. Aladdin showed no response. "Uh, this isn't cheering you up at all, is it?" Genie stated, becoming a little downhearted himself.
He offered the cup to me. I shook my head 'no'. I like tea, but not when it's being poured out of someone's head...ew.
Then, he tried to get Abu to take it. Abu pushed his and away, making a disgusted face.
"I don't get it, Genie." Aladdin said, obviously frustrated. "I try to do something good and it just...blows up in my face!"
Through all of this I remained silent, thinking it was best to keep my mouth shut and my eyes and ears wide open.
With a final sigh, Aladdin sulked out of the room to the garden; head down, and looking miserable.
When Aladdin was out of earshot, Genie sighed.
"That's the problem with doing the right thing," he said to Abu on his shoulder, "sometimes you do it by yourself."
Like hell he will."Look," I said, standing up a little straighter, "I'm gonna go after Al. Just to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. You guys stay here and try to figure out a way to get Al and Jasmine speaking again."
I started following the path Aladdin had taken out the door, but at the last moment, I turned back to the boys in the room.
"And get the turkey to help. It's his fault we're in this fix anyway."
Then, I left the room.
I knew exactly where Al was headed.
The fountains. That's where he does all his thinking.After a few minutes of eventless searching, I found him sitting at the edge of a pool; knees up to his chest, head down on his knees.
I took a seat next to him and he peaked out from his tucked away position.
"I really messed up this time, Lisa." he mumbled out to me.
"Yeah, you sure did." I said bluntly. "But don't worry about it Al. I'm sure Sarah's talking to Jasmine right now. She'll make things better. And even if she can't, Jasmine can't stay mad at you forever...as long as you don't lie anymore."
I sure hope she's having better luck with Jasmine than I'm having with Al.
:Sarah's Pov:
I slipped into Jasmine's room as quietly as I could.
She was, as I had expected, lying face down on her bed, crying her eyes out.
I sat down in her vanity chair at the head of the bed. I knew she knew I was there; she just wasn't ready to talk to me.
After about three minutes of her crying, she finally looked at me.
Wiping her eyes, she said "How could you do that to me? You knew he was lying and you didn't say anything?"
She was hurt.
"Jasmine," I started, "I never meant to hurt you. It wasn't like I TOLD him to lie. I told him to do the exact opposite. You know how stubborn he can be. So when he decided to lie to you about Iago, I knew it was up to him to tell you the truth. Either that, or you would find out for yourself...Jasmine, it wasn't my secret to tell."
"But you still covered up for him." she said, sitting up on the bed.
I got up from my place in the vanity chair and sat beside her.
"Yeah, because he's my brother. That's what you do for family. You cover for them...Even if you know you're doing the wrong thing. It's instinct." I placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look at me. "Jas, I'm sorry I kept this from you. Forgive me?"
She thought for a minute and nodded her head.
"I forgive you. I don't think I was ever mad at YOU...Just mad at what you did...But I'm still angry with Aladdin..."
"Jasmine, try to understand where Aladdin's coming from. He was housing the servant of your father's greatest enemy. He thought if he told you, you would tell your father and then he would never be aloud to see you again."
If it was possible, Jasmine looked even angrier.
"So rather than trust me and tell me what was happening, he-he lies to me and..."
She tried her best to keep her angry face, but it soon dissolved into tears of hurt and she fell back into a fetal position and started sobbing again.
I rubbed her back lightly.
"It's okay, Jas. Let it out. Hey, at least your man is talking to you enough to lie to you...Mine hasn't said two sentences to just me since he's been back!"
I tried to make a light joke, but it didn't do any good. She just kept crying and I kept comforting her.
That is, until we heard the tale-tell voice at the window.
"Come on, princess! Don't waste your tears on him!"
"You!" Jasmine exclaimed, getting up from the bed. "You get out of here!"
She ran over and shut the curtains on him.
"Hey, hey!" he protested, "Don't take it out on me! He's the creep. I never should have saved his life." Iago took great care to enunciate the last three words of that sentence carefully.
By this time, I had stood up and taken a place out of the way; standing on the left side of the vanity.
Jasmine turned back curiously to the window and cocked her head slightly.
"Saved his life?" she asked.
"Yeah, he owed me one." Iago continued, flying out from behind the curtains, taking the head of Jasmine's bed for his own, "That's why he stood up from me."
"But he didn't have to lie to me." Jasmine huffed, coming to sit in the vanity chair.
"You are sooo right." Iago stated, sounding very manipulative to my trained ears.
Then I heard the music.
'Oh, yay! Another song!' I thought happily.
Iago started singing to Jasmine.
"Forget about that guy!
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes."
He got to the edge of the bed and pretended to fall forward.
Jasmine turned her back to him, not wanting to hear what he had to say.
Iago was not one to be ignored and he got in front of her and showed her a picture she had of Aladdin (courtesy of Lisa's artistic talents).
"Forget about his charms.
Forget about the way he held you in his arms."
Jasmine looked at it for a minute, but then slammed it down on the vanity table and slumped in her seat, pulling a pillow up to grip it.
Iago just continued singing.
"Walking on air's obnoxious!"
Jasmine had enough and she stood and started swinging the pillow at Iago, which he dodged every time.
"The thrill
the chill,
will make you nauseous.
And you'll never get enough!
Just forget about love!"
She saw her opportunity when he landed and she hit him square in the back, sending him out the balcony door.
But did that stop him from singing? Of course not!
"Forget about romance.
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance."
I got a tingly feeling at the back of my neck and turned just in time to see Genie knock over the vase beside me with magic. I took a few steps back, covering him from Jasmine's view as she caught the vase and took a smell of the flower.
Genie gave me the 'shush' sign and magiced the mirror to show Aladdin's face, calling out 'Jasmine'.
My jaw dropped a little in fake surprise (I've seen this movie how many times?). Genie shot me a sly grin and poofed away.
Just then Iago, still singing, flew in and took the flower out of Jasmine's hand. Jasmine and I both chased him out on the balcony.
"Then you feel the blush when he's spouting out some sentimental mush."
That's when Jasmine caught sight of Aladdin in the garden, with Lisa sitting close to him; trying to comfort him. Her face softened in forgiveness.
All the while, Iago kept singing.
"Love really is revolting!
It's even worse than when you're molting...
Enough of this fluff!
Just forget about love!"
Then, Jasmine joined in the song.
"I had almost forgotten the way it felt
when he held out his hand for mine.
My heart all a-flutter..."
Iago just had to put in his two cents.
"Oh, how I shudder!"
Jasmine and I sang the next part together; because as she was thinking about Aladdin, I was thinking about and longing for Genie.
"The first time we kissed..."
I glared at Iago but Jasmine didn't even notice him as we started singing together.
"It won't be missed!"
Iago continued what he was saying.
"Forget about his touch."
Jasmine ran away from the balcony singing, but I sang the next part to Iago.
"I can't forget about his touch."
Then, Iago and I followed Jasmine through the palace.
Iago responded.
"In the scheme of things,
it doesn't matter much."
By this time, Jasmine was in her own little world, spinning her way through the palace, singing along. Iago and I stayed a bit behind her and continued singing back in forth, kind of like an argument.
"It matters so much!" Jasmine and I sang.
Iago replied cynically.
"You're better on your own.
A meal becomes a banquet
when you eat alone."
Now we were at the hallway leading out side.
"Love's filled with compromises." We all sang together.
Jasmine was now going quickly down the steps to the garden. She stepped on Carpet (whom I'm sure was planted there) and he picked her up gently.
Iago flew ahead of me and sang to Jasmine.
"And don't you hate those big surprises?"
"A cozy rendezvous..." Jasmine replied in a dreamy voice.
"Oh, please!" Iago scoffed.
I felt a presence beside me and I turned to find Genie watching proudly as Jasmine and Iago sang together.
He conjured up fireflies to go and circle Jasmine's head, making her look like an angel.
"Candlelight for two..." Jasmine continued with her dream.
"Oh, geez!" Iago rolled his eyes.
"Look you're calling my bluff!" Jasmine sang, tickling Iago's stomach.
Then, they both sang together.
"(I can't)(Just) forget about love!"
Jasmine continued walking to Aladdin, but Iago flew back to us. Lisa stood up from her place at Aladdin's side and walked quietly over to us. Jasmine gave her a thankful smile which Lisa returned with a half grin as she stood next to Iago.
"That was a real nice touch with the mirror." I whispered sideways to Genie.
"You really think so? Not to much?" he asked, looking down at me.
"No," I answered, "the perfect amount."
I turned back to watch Aladdin and Jasmine sing to each other and as I did, I felt a large arm snake hesitantly around my shoulder's and pull me a little closer.
I nearly melted.
"I can't forget about my heart." Jasmine sang to Aladdin.
"I can't forget about my heart." Aladdin replied back.
"And how it felt to fall for you right from the start." Jasmine continued.
"I'm still falling." Aladdin sang to her, dreamily.
"Whatever we may do..." Jasmine started.
"Whatever we may do," Aladdin repeated.
"You are here for me and I'll be there for you." Jasmine vowed to Aladdin.
Then, they both sang together; moving all around the garden with us (Lisa and Iago, reluctantly) following them. Genie's arm stayed around me.
"I'll be there
to wish, to want, to wander.
To find the sun
through the rain and thunder."
"A cozy rendezvous..." Aladdin offered.
"Yes, please!" Jasmine giggled out.
"Candlelight for two." Aladdin continued, taking Jasmine's hand in his own.
Then, they looked up as Lisa and Iago sang together.
"Oh, geez!
Enough is enough!"
Ignoring them, they continued.
"We can't forget about love!"
Then, Aladdin and Jasmine kissed and everything was right again in the world.
