Again night fell over Agrabah, but in the vicinity of the Palace, it felt like a warm summer's night. Jasmine was still in her boudoir with Rajah. Aladdin meanwhile was in the garden with Genie, Carpet, and Abu. Abu was having problems peeling bananas with his hands now replaced by soolnds. Al was contemplating what he should do. Carpet and Genie meanwhile were playing chess.
"So move," The Carpet moved his rook, taking out one of Genie's bishops. Genie turned into Rodney Dangerfield. "I can't believe it—I'm losing to a rug!"
"Genie, I need help!"
Genie came over, now in the form of John Wayne. "Alright, partner. If you wanna please little missy, you're gonna hafta be a straight-shooter, ya hear?"
"What?"
"Tell. Her. The. TRUTH!"
"No way! If Jasmine found out I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me."
"A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh! All joking aside, you really ought to be yourself."
"That's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her."
Al hopped onto Carpet and flew to Jasmine's balcony
"Princess Jasmine? It's me—Prince Ali Ababwa."
Jasmine groaned at this attempt to hit on her. "I do not want to see you." Rajah slowly went up to Al, teeth bared. "Down kitty!"
Genie flew up to carpet wondering how Al was doing. Carpet did a beheading motion. Genie commented on something that Al said. "I thought I heard 'Good teens, take off your clothes.'"
As Aladdin was trying to keep Rajah at bay, Jasmine turned back to Al. "You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace."
"I have servants that go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met."
Genie buzzed up to Al in the form of a bee. "Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her! She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes. Anything-pick a feature!"
"Um, Princess Jasmine? You're very beautiful!"
"Hmm. I'm rich too, you know. A fine prize for any prince to marry."
"Uh, right. Right. A prince like me."
"WARNING! WARNING!"
"Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering, peacock I've met"
"Mayday! Mayday!"
"Just go jump off a balcony!"
"Stop her! Stop her! Do you want me to sting her?"
"Buzz off"
"Fine! But remember: bee yourself!"
"Yeah, right! I mean, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. I'll go now."
Al walked off but Jasmine shouted not to do it. Aladdin poked his head up and revealed Carpet.
"It's lovely." The Carpet kissed her hand.
"You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world."
"Is it safe?
"Sure. Do you trust me?"
"What?" Did he say something that the boy yesterday just said?
"Do you trust me?" It was the same boy! Jasmine grinned slightly before taking Aladdin's hand and sitting on Carpet. Away they went through the skies over Agrabah, Egypt, Greece, and China. While over Greece, they saw Hercules and Megara on a date at the Prometheus Academy, both having gyros.
"Aladdin:
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways, and under
On a magic carpet ride
A Whole New World
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Jasmine:
A Whole New World
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world
with you
Aladdin:
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Jasmine:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A Whole New World
(Aladdin: Don't you dare close your eyes)
An hundred thousand things to see
(Aladdin: Hold your breath - it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star,
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be!
Aladdin:
A Whole New World
(Jasmine: Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Jasmine: Every moment, red letter)
Both:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A Whole New World
That's where we'll be
Aladdin:
A thrilling chase
Jasmine:
A wondrous place
Both:
For you and me"
The ride ended in Beijing as they watched an army march up to the Imperial Palace. Behind the army was a giant papier-mâché representation of Shenron.
"It's so magical."
"Yeah."
"It's a shame Abu had to miss this."
"Nah, he hates fireworks." Aladdin realized that he had been caught. Jasmine knew the whole time!
"Who are you? Tell me the truth!"
"The truth is… I sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life." A half-assed answer, but it worked.
"Why didn't you just tell me?"
"Well, you know, um...royalty going out into the city in disguise, it sounds a little strange, don't ya think?"
"Not that strange."
A low voice coughed behind them. "If you don't mind, could I please have somewhere to sit and watch the procession?" It was a large Mongolian man in bear-pelts.
"Oh no, we were just leaving."
The carpet flew off. The man turned and narrowed his eyes towards the Emperor, Li Yuan. "Perfect!"
They arrived back at the Palace, where they both kissed. Finally, after a 24-hour period they joined lips.
"Good night, my handsome prince."
"Sleep well, princess."
Al laid back into Carpet as they floated down back into the garden. "For the first time in my life, things are starting to go right!"
But then, the guards swarmed around him and tied him up. Abu was strung up too and Captain Razoul tied a knot in Carpet. Jafar appeared. "I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince Abooboo. Make sure he's never found."
Razoul beat Al over the head with a club and dumped him off of a cliff into the sea. As he sank to the bottom, his turban came off. Still out cold, his hands touched the lamp and out came Genie. "Never fails. Get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp. Hello? Al? Al! Kid, snap out of it! You can't cheat on this one! I can't help you unless you make a wish. You have to say 'Genie I want you to save my life.' Got it? Okay. C'mon Aladdin! I'll take that as a yes." Genie turned into a sub and pulled Aladdin out of the water. After a session of CPR, Al was conscious again, and he thanked his cobalt compadré. The two sped off to the palace.
Jasmine was brushing her hair, and humming her special song that she had with Aladdin.
"Jasmine…"
"Oh, father-I just had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy!"
"You should be, Jasmine. I have chosen a husband for you. You will wed Jafar."
Jafar had put the Sultan in yet another trance.
"You're speechless, I see. A fine quality in a wife."
"I will never marry you! Father, I choose Prince Ali!"
"Prince Ali left."
"Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!"
Aladdin was back, now dripping wet from his brief dip.
Both Iago and Jafar were shocked. "How the fu—I mean—awk!"
"Tell them the truth, Jafar! You tried to have me killed!"
"Ridiculous nonsense, your highness. He is obviously lying."
Jasmine tried to snap her father out of his trance. Aladdin did it for her…
…by smashing Jafar's staff! The Sultan woke up.
"Your highness, Jafar's been controlling you with this!"
"Jafar! You traitor!"
The Sultan called for the guards. Jafar then saw something in Aladdin's turban: The lamp! As he was grabbed by Razoul and Fazaal, a dark-skinned guard who smelled of fish thanks to Al pantsing him, he pulled out a smoke bomb, and vanished.
"Jafar, my most trusted counselor, plotting against me all this time. Just horrible. How will I ever- Can it be true? My daughter has finally chosen a suitor? Praise the Lord!"
The Sultan announced that they will get married first thing in the morning, and then Aladdin will eventually become Sultan. Aladdin got nervous about this idea.
Back in the secret lab, Jafar was cracking up at the fact that his new rival was the same street-rat that he had arrested yesterday.
"He has the lamp, Iago! And you are going to relieve him of it!"
The next morning, Aladdin was in the guest pavilion. Genie pulled out a camcorder and began filming Al. "Aladdin, you've just won the heart of the princess. What are you gonna do next?" Al said nothing. Genie pulled out the script and jumped to the last couple of pages of Act 3. "Psst, your line is 'I'm going to free the genie." Either that or 'I'm going to Disneyland'.
"Genie, I can't. I'm serious. Look, I'm sorry-I really am. But they want to make me sultan-no!, They want to make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin. I won because of you. The only reason anyone thinks I'm anything is because of you. What if they find out I'm not really a prince? What if Jasmine finds out? I'm sorry… I can't wish you free…"
Genie was hurt. He sank back into his lamp. "Hey, I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, master."
Aladdin was now on his own. "What am I doing? Genie's right-I gotta tell Jasmine the truth."
"Ali, oh Ali-will you come here?"
"Well, here goes. Jasmine? Where are you?"
"In the menagerie, hurry."
As soon as Al left, Iago flew into the pavilion, patting himself on the back for imitating Jasmine. He grabbed the lamp and flew off to the lab.
