Meanwhile, the antagonist of the story was in the middle of a desert with his minions as Abis Mal was getting water from a well.
Abis Mal pulled up the bucket. "Wash up! It's bad enough havin' to look at ya without havin' to smell ya." he tells the men.
The minions were making comments about Abis Mal and how they hated having him as their 'beloved leader'. As the tiny man pulled out the water bucket, a black lamp fell on his head and hit the sand.
"Ow, what was that?!" he growls. He then saw that it was a lamp. "Ooh, this might be worth a few shackles once it's cleaned up..." he says, rubbing the lamp with his sleeve.
"It will be of little use to you, Abis Mal." one of the minions wielded his blade, ready to strike the chubby man.
What everyone didn't know or realize was that red smoke was fooming out from the black lamp, the form of Jafar now as an imprisoned Genie. This made the henchmen panic and run away in alarm from it and even Abis Mal's horse abandoned him as there was wicked laughter in the air.
"I am free!" Jafar sounded very, very menacing. "Free to extract my vengeance upon they who have imprisoned me!" he then stormed off, but found himself being held back by the gold shackles like Genie used to wear. "All the power in the universe and I am bound by the rules of the Genie! Which means I can't kill those upstarts Aladdin and Zipporah! Unless I have someone arrange it for me," he made himself face his new master. "Take me to Agrabah at once!"
Abis Mal had looked up in fear before falling to the floor. He started to make scared weird babbling sounds as he saw the massive form of Jafar's genie form.
"I suppose I am a bit too much for his unlimited mind..." Genie Jafar said, then transformed into his former self and hid behind his cape almost like a vampire and his voice returned normal like it used to be. "I trust you'll find me a little less overwhelming now?"
Abis Mal ran from him a little but looked from where he hid. "You're a Genie?" he asks in a squeaky voice.
"You're astonishingly perceptive..." Jafar slightly rolled his eyes, sarcastic from the man's foolishness.
"If you're a Genie... Does that mean I get three wishes?" he asks the man-turned-genie.
"Yes, three wishes, that's a minor formality," Jafar remarked, eager to go for his unexpected return and revenge. "But first, I must go to Agrabah. You will take the lamp there for me."
Abis Mal was still in the mindset about the wishes, wanting to have them before he would.
"WHY YOU!" Jafar hissed, nearly seeming menacing again. He then realized what he was doing and chuckled a bit calmly. "You shall have your wishes..."
"I wish for the legendary treasure ship of Gor du Mare!" Abis Mal exclaims.
"Your wish is my command," Jafar said with a friendly smile and took them underwater to a sunken ship that had an octopus out to get Abis Mal. Jafar had no problem though, now that he was a genie, he was able to breathe underwater. "Poor sweet baby, aren't we enjoying our wish?" he smirked as Mal was caught by the squeezing tentacles.
"No!" came the bubbly sounding reply from Abis Mal. He looked absolutely scared.
"Perhaps you wish me to return you to the desert?" Jafar prompted.
"Yes..." Came the once again bubbly sound. He nodded for emphasis rapidly.
"Very well," Jafar made them go back to the desert they were once in where they first interacted. "That was two wishes, take time with the third...Or you will wish you had never been born... On the other hand, if you cooperate with me, I will see that you are amply rewarded..." He knew that word would get Abis Mal to quickly side with him.
Abis Mal looked suspiciously at Jafar. He would if he thought Jafar's reason was good enough. "Why do you want to go to Agrabah so bad anyway?" he asks.
"I need revenge on two certain street rats known as... Aladdin and Zipporah..." Jafar nearly hissed as he uttered those names.
"Zipporah?" Abis Mal asks confused. He then took on a look of anger. "Aladdin?! I want revenge on him too, he humiliated me and turned my men against me!" he rants angrily. He then went like he was fighting Aladdin with a sword, but ended up slicing his belt.
"Let's not be hasty, my simple-minded friend," Jafar said coolly. "It's not enough that we simply destroy the street rat twosome, after all, there are things so much worse than death." he started laughing evilly as they would plan together for revenge against Aladdin.
Abis gave an evil smile and agreed to take Jafar to Agrabah.
Back at the palace, Genie was preparing food for the family as they watched him cook and entertain them for the meal tonight.
"Hi...ya!" Genie kept on calling out as he threw some carrots into the air and chopped them. He ended up chopping off his hand. "Oops..." he says.
Aladdin was watching, though his mind was elsewhere. Sultan was laughing, he then looked shocked at the hand and then gave a cry out of joy as the hand started to dance. Lotus was nibbling on some fruit, not very hungry that night. She smiled slightly though.
"Oh, very amusing." Zipporah told Genie with a smile.
Jasmine smiled fondly during the show, but winced slightly as Genie accidentally chopped his hand off. Luckily he was a mystical being.
"Delightful!" Sultan exclaims.
Genie picked up his hand. "Yes, delightful..." he says sounding annoyed at the hand. He then started to fix his hand back onto his arm. "Excuse me while I pull myself together." he jokes, making the Sultan laugh again.
Lotus looked at Genie and offered an amused smile. She finished the plate of fruit she had made herself and then took a sip of the wine they had. Zipporah sat calmly and ate little bits of the vegetables served such as broccoli and carrots.
Jasmine smiled fondly, awaiting for her father to tell Aladdin why they are having this special dinner together. Sultan told Aladdin that he wanted him to be his new Vizier. Genie made a big show about it. Aladdin looked shocked and then nervous again. Lotus smiled at her soon to be brother-in-law, showing she was happy for him.
"Isn't it wonderful?" Jasmine beamed to Aladdin becoming the new royal vizier.
"Yay, that's wonderful!" Zipporah cheered, then pulled a puzzled face to the Sultan. "What's a royal vizier?"
"He will be my most trusted advisor... And it's because he showed great moral character..." Sultan says.
Aladdin looked surprised still. Genie looked at the Sultan too and then started to go on about how Aladdin would be better than Jafar, and reminding the Sultan about Iago. Zipporah was a little concerned about that piece as the Genie did an impression of Iago with the 'sultan want a cracker?' bit when he and Jafar nearly took over Agrabah. Jasmine remembered as well, wondering why Aladdin and Zipporah were a little attached to the evil bird.
Aladdin gave a nervous cough. "Funny you should mention Iago..." he says.
Lotus raised an eyebrow as she looked at Aladdin and Zipporah. Zipporah sheepishly rubbed her arm.
Outside, Abu was still waiting by the cage with Iago, looking annoyed with Iago talking him into letting him out.
"Pretty monkey want a banana, birdy give monkey a banana if monkey let's birdy out." Iago says, in a way that showed he thought Abu was dumb.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Abu muttered, very annoyed with Iago.
Iago tried to convince Abu to let him free. Rajah came into view. Abu ignored Iago's demands of being let out of the cage and smirked as Rajah was seen. He then climbed up and opened the door with his oposoble thumbs and allowed Iago to be released, but also possibly eaten by the tiger.
"Thank you." Iago says. He then noticed Rajah and tried to get himself locked in safe again.
Rajah pounced for the 'evil bird'.
Abu kept making the door appear open so Rajah could pounce into it. He then grew nervous as Rajah practically destroyed the cage and chased after Iago inside the palace. "Uh-oh..." he muttered, worried he was going to be in big trouble with Aladdin and Zipporah.
Everyone was having a nice dinner, but they didn't see Iago as Rajah came in and nearly wrecked up the dining hall and made a big mess, surprising everyone. Rajah pounced in, Iago in his mouth.
Lotus looked surprised. "Rajah." she gasps, having stood up to make sure she was out the way.
Aladdin saw Iago and then tried to keep him out of sight.
"Rajah, you know better than to tear around the palace like that!" Jasmine scolded, like she were punishing a child, not a dominant tiger.
Abu crept and clung to Zipporah, nervously.
"What did you do?" the girl whispered sharply to the monkey.
"Why did you bring up about that bird anyway?" the sultan asks.
Rajah sneezed sending Iago out onto the table.
"He's here..." Aladdin says weakly.
Lotus looked at Iago and then sighed. "I'm sorry, I need to go for a walk..." she says quietly and quickly. She headed for the door to go outside.
Zipporah looked at the girl, wondering whether to go along with her or not. As the guards were called, Razoul came eagerly. He had now been on good terms with Aladdin and Zipporah, but was still in his greedy vengeance against anyone and was about to lower his blade to chop up Iago. "It would be my pleasure, your Highness."
Jasmine had mixed feelings, but she was a bit angry with Aladdin. He had lied to her, AGAIN!
"No, stop!" Aladdin says and grabbed Razoul's arm.
The Sultan made sure Aladdin knew he wasn't happy but wouls allow Iago to love, but Aladdin would have to watch him all the time. And he saw Zipporah had known and shook his head like a father would. Iago looked surprised. Lotus went outside to take a walk around the garden. She couldn't believe Iago was back. She was worried that Jafar had somehow came back too. She went to her special gazebo thing. It had slightly more shade and was set to be more comfier. She sat in her gazebo thing and flopped down on a big pile of pillows. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to calm down.
"Move out of my way, boy!" Razoul growled at Aladdin for keeping him from doing the job.
Jasmine folded her arms at Aladdin namely. Zipporah wasn't sure what to do or how to feel.
"I'll watch him," Aladdin agrees with the Sultan. He then slumped on a cushion. "I really thought we were sunk!" Aladdin says to Jasmine once the Sultan had gone about him and Zipporah.
The Sultan walked out with Razoul. Iago was shocked, still.
"Not good." Zipporah told her brother.
Jasmine was so mad, she settled for yelling. "You were hiding Iago all along, weren't you!?"
Aladdin looked shocked and looked at Jasmine. "I c-can explain... He was hypnotized by the snake staff!" he says. Then realising how unbelievable that seemed now sighed. "I think he's actually not all that bad." he says.
Iago shook his head slightly. Abu agreed, trying to help Aladdin out in the situation.
"Yeah, and he's actually pretty funny." Zipporah added.
"How could you? More secrets? More lies? Aladdin, I thought you changed..." Jasmine walked off to her room to sulk.
"But Jasmine, I!" he starts but then gave up and started to head off outside.
Iago watched Aladdin. Zipporah sighed and joined her brother. He was in such distress. There was no way he could be a royal vizier this way now. Aladdin was properly sulking and with guilt.
"He saved my life, no one's ever done something that nice, maybe I should do something... Nah!" Iago says then dismisses.
"Just let your conscience be your guide." Genie says. He then worked on getting Jasmine and Aladdin to make up.
"I don't think Iago has one." Zipporah laughed a little.
Soon Iago had been convinced to help Genie get Jasmine and Aladdin together. Genie waited in the balcony, but out of sight. Zipporah decided to go and try to support and help her brother in any way he could while Iago would settle the princess. Jasmine was alone in her bedroom, crying a little. She felt bad for yelling at Aladdin, but was still a bit angry with him for lying.
"C'mon, Princess, don't waste your tears on him!" Iago calls out to Jasmine.
"You!" Jasmine hissed at the bird. "You get out of here!"
"Hey, don't take it out on me! I never should have saved his life." Iago explains to the princess.
Jasmine stopped, a little surprised. "Saved his life...?"
Iago flew in and landed on a comfy spot, lounging a little. "Yeah, that's why he stood up for me, and Zipporah." he tells her.
"But he didn't have to lie to me!" Jasmine stormed away from Iago.
"You are so right..." Iago says, before he started to sing about how dumb and stupid love was and that a person didn't really need it. All the while, however, was using reverse psychology to get Jasmine to realize she still loved him and because of that to not blame Zipporah either.
Jasmine looked at him, but then threw a pillow at him to make him slide out the balcony next to Genie.
Iago looked up at Genie. "It's working, now make with the magic." he whispers, before going back in and continuing to sing.
Genie made the vase with the lily in tip a little and then made the mirror whisper Jasmine's name, while showing an image of Aladdin. Jasmine caught the lily and put it back in the vase. She heard Aladdin's voice and was a little surprised and wondered what was going on. As Iago flew around her, she tried to hit him with the pillow.
When he carried the pillow off, Jasmine ended up stopping at the end of the balcony and looking down to see Aladdin and Zipporah sulking. Iago then continued to use the reverse psychology, knowing it was working when Jasmine joined in. Aladdin was hunched over, holding his knees to his chest and resting his head on his knees. Jasmine remembered the good of Aladdin now and highly influenced by the reverse psychology and knelt over Carpet.
It then attracted fireflies and Jasmine let them fly to Aladdin as she was on her way to see him. Lotus was asleep in her gazebo. She had a cover over her from the 'bed' of pillows she had there. Zipporah went with the boys and smiled as Aladdin and Jasmine were getting back together.
Aladdin looked up as the fireflies flew around him. "Jasmine, I'm sorry... I-" he starts, but was interrupted.
Jasmine shushed him and smiled passionately. "I can't forget about my heart..." she started singing sweetly.
"I can't forget about my heart~" Aladdin sings back just as sweetly lovingly.
Zipporah went with the boys and smiled as Aladdin and Jasmine were getting back together. Genie smiled happy for the couple who were getting back together. Iago looked disgusted and slightly grumpy. Lotus didn't even stir with the singing, she was truly out of it in sleep.
Jasmine started to run playfully with Aladdin and even splashed him from the fountain water, but not being mean about it. Zipporah was smiling with Genie and was glad their plan worked. Aladdin went to playfully grab her as she had splashed him then they ended up dancing. Genie grinned at Zipporah.
"Enough of this fluff!" Iago exclaims.
"We can't forget about love." Jasmine sang with Aladdin, surprised of Iago's outburst, but still in love with each other.
"Silly bird." Zipporah chuckled, then gave a gentle kiss on Iago's beak.
Iago blushed at the kiss and then shook his head and flew to hide a brief moment.
Genie chuckled slightly. He then looked at Aladdin and Jasmine. "Don't mind us." he says.
Aladdin looked at him. "Genie, this is kind of a 'special moment'..." he says, trying to nicely get rid of everyone else.
"Yeah, come on." Zipporah suggested, getting Aladdin's message.
Jasmine nodded, but was polite so she wouldn't offend anyone about wanting to be alone with him.
"Got cha!" Genie says with a wink. He then flew away but set up a weird lighting and camera thing.
Aladdin looked surprised and annoyed.
Iago, who was annoyed, flew out and chased away Genie and the others bothering them. "That takes care of the peanut gallery, if you need me I'll be in the lap of luxury." he says and flew off into Aladdin's room so Aladdin wouldn't be accused of letting him go everywhere on his own.
"Are you sure about him?" Jasmine asked Aladdin about Iago being on the good side.
Abu grunted and walked off with the others after Iago nearly gnawed off his tail. Genie was out-of-the-way.
"Uh..." Aladdin says, having been surprised. However her grinned at Jasmine happy to spend some time alone with her.
Lotus still slept. No one would've known she was there, unless they remembered the Gazebo.
