Author's Note: I hope everyone enjoy's this chapter. For those who are Marvelous/Luka and Joe/Ahim shippers. You read my story called 'The Bet." I would love to know what you guys think of it for those who like the pairings. Also I want to thank those who attempted to give me ideas for the Leo/Amu/Tusk love triangle. I did my best on it and I hope you like it or at least what I did for this chapter. I also don't want exactly like the movie Aladdin so one scene will be a bit different than the movie verison. To let people know in advance.
I really hope you enjoy this story. I know everyone's going to enjoy this chapter especially the Yamato and Sera moments. You will understand why when you read it. Hehehe. In fact I wrote their stuff before the whole love triangle because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
Misao doesn't appear in this chapter. I just didn't know where to put him in all of this.
Amu went to the garden to search for Tusk. Not aware that Leo was following her. He didn't want them to get close at all. He had transformed into a cat that was white and orange.
"If she thinks that I am going to let her fall in love with that jerk of a prince. She has another thing coming." Leo irritably says as he hides behinds some plants before transforming back to his human like appearance.
"Princess Ami, what are you doing here?" Tusk questioned. As he looked up at the princess in surprise.
"I wanted to see you, again." Amu confesses, shyly.
"You wanted to see me?" Tusk replied back. As he pointed to himself. "Why?"
"I was wondering if you would like to go out?" Amu asked him, blushing.
"Go out? Like a date?" Tusk answers.
Leo had transformed into a bee again. As he flew near Tusk.
"Tell her that commoners are bad people." Leo whispered in Tusk's ear. "That you would never be with that type."
"Thank goodness you're a princess and not a commoner." Tusk tells Amu.
"Why would you say that?" Amu questioned. This wasn't the Tusk he had spending yesterday getting to know. He was really sweet underneath that tough exterior. That was the guy she had come to smitten with again.
"They have no money. What do they even do that's even worthy? I've seen them steal valuable things. There nothing more than thieves!"
"Commoners are not all bad people." Amu tells Tusk angrily.
"What's your problem? You're a princess. Commoners are pretty worthless. What value do they really have?" Tusk tells him, Leo could only smirk as his plan appeared to be working.
"It is a problem for me." Amu addresses. "They're people too you know. Without them, they're is no kingdom. They do things that you don't even understand. That's what we'll do."
"Huh?" Tusk pondered.
"Come with me!" Amu tells him as he takes his hand. Pulling him along.
"Where are you taking me?" Tusk questioned. As he was dragged along.
Amu and Tusk both where cloths as they sneak out of the palace.
"I don't really think going outside the palace like this is really a date, Ami?" Tusk outwardly tells her in confusion.
"I am going to show you the life of commoners. So maybe you can see why they do these things."
"What are they?" Tusk pointed out.
"They're called vendors. They sell stuff." Amu explained.
"How do you know this?" Tusk wondered.
"That's not important." Amu puts a finger to his mouth to keep him quiet. After all he didn't want to reveal that she was a commoner posing as a princess. That everything was a lie.
"Sir, can you please spare us some food?" A mother asked the vendor who was holding a baby.
"No, either you pay me or YOU GET NOTHING!" The vendor screams out. As the mother drops a tear as she walks away.
Unknown to the vendor two young boys had grabbed some fruit. As they run off without the vendor even knowing. Amu admitted they must be skilled to be able to pull them off.
"Come on, let's follow them." Amu addresses.
Tusk and Amu follow them as she sees the thieves with the same mother and baby. She was also was with two other young children.
"Mother, we got some food." The boys tell her.
"Thank goodness. It's not much. At least it would keep us from starving." The mother expressed happily, it wasn't much but they cherished what little they could steal. One of the little girls took an apple as the other took a peach.
"See, they steal to survive. It's the jerks that try to steal from royalty are the ones you met. A lot of commoners attempt to really steal things like food and clothes." Amu exclaims to him. She latches her arm to his as she puts her head on his shoulder.
"I never knew that." Tusk confessed. He looked at the children. He admitted that he actually felt sorry for them.
"They're falling for each other. I need to stop in and now." Leo expressed.
Leo at a last attempt used his magic to fix the sand underneath which caused Amu to trip as Tusk caught her, their faces were close together as they looked into each other eyes,
"Thank you, Prince Tusk." Amu tells him.
"Ummm . . . you're welcome." Tusk nervously tells her as he releases his grip.
Amu gently kisses Tusk on the cheek to his surprise. As he looked back at her, he lifted her face as he leans in to kiss her on the lips. Leo could only look on as he turned a bright red in anger. Nothing he did appeared to be working. He looked down sadly as he teleported back into the lamp that was in Amu's bag.
"Come on, let's get back to the palace." Amu says as they break their kiss. Not that she wanted it to end.
"As long as I am with you, Ami." Tusk tells her as they both smile.
Meanwhile in another part of the world...
Yamato and Sera were on the rooftop, Sera had clutched her legs as she looked at the fireworks. She was still holding the apple, playfully. She wasn't aware that Yamato was staring at her dreamily.
"It's a shame, your sister had to miss this." Sera mentions as she gives off a smile. Waiting for him for Yamato's answer to see if he slips up.
"Amu would love it. The problem is she's not very comfortable with high places." Yamato responded, the magic carpet makes a gesture as if were a slap on the forehead. As if he were saying, I can't believe he just said that to her.
"I knew it, you're the boy I met that the marketplace aren't you?! Why did you lie to me?!" Sera yelled at him. Throwing the apple at him.
"Princess Sera, I'm sorry. It's not that I wanted too . . ." Yamato began to speak.
"Did you think I was stupid?! That I wouldn't figure it out." Sera angrily tells him. "I am so dumb girl you know."
"I was hoping you wouldn't . . . that's not what I meant." Yamato addresses.
"Who are you? Tell me the truth!" Sera demanded.
"The truth? That's what you want?" Yamato responds.
"Don't try to avoid the subject." Sera tells him. Yamato looks at the magic carpet who motions his poms as it were hands to tell her the truth.
"All right. The truth is I sometimes dress as a commoner. Like you do. To escape the pressure of palace life. You know how it is." Yamato answers as all the magic carpet could do is make a face palm. "I really am a prince."
"Why didn't you tell me at the market place?" Sera asked.
"You know, royalty dressed up as a commoner. It's kind of odd don't you think. It's not something you want to tell people."
"I thought you were dead. After what Daisuke told me." Sera tells him.
"Dead?" Yamato replies in confusion.
"Yes...but I now know it was all a lie." Sera happily said revealed as she puts her head on his shoulder, cudding onto his arm. "I am just so happy to see you again."
"Me too." Yamato tells her while blushing.
Sera lifts her head as she stares at him. "There's been something I been wanting to do since we first met." She shyly tells him. Remembering the one thing she told herself she wanted to do, and wish she did when she thought Yamato was dead. This was something she wanted more than anything.
"What is it?" Yamato questioned. She placed her cheek to his face as Sera leaned in to kiss him. Yamato closed his eyes as the kissed deepened. The magic carpet sighed as it formed a heart. Sera moved her arms around his neck as Yamato moved his hands too her waist as they continued to passionately kiss. They seemed to be the only two people in the world in their eyes. They were so deep into their kissing they wanted nothing more than each other.
"I love you." Yamato tells Sera as they finally broke apart as he caught his breath.
"I love you too." Sera expressed as she looked at him lovingly. She breathed heavy too. They continued to gaze into each others eyes before proceeding to continuing to passionately kiss again. As they comfortable rest in each others arms not breaking from their kiss as it deepened again.
It was very late into the night when they got home. Yamato helped Sera down back to the balcony as the carpet created a staircase.
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow." Sera giggles.
"Good night."Both of them tell each other as Yamato and Sera kissed each other quickly before Sera headed back to her room. They didn't want their father to know about what happened until tomorrow.
Yamato fell off the balcony as they carpet caught him as he layed on his back looking at the nightsky. He couldn't wait to tell Misao and Amu that he had won over Sera. That he head been kissing her for what seemed like hours. He was finally can be with the girl of his dreams. "For once in my life things were finally going right." He says happily as he gazes up at the balcony. He already missed Sera and couldn't wait to see her tomorrow.
Captain Satoshi and the two guards grab onto Yamato. "Heh?" He says as they force him to the ground. Putting a white cloth over his mouth as his arms are shackled behind him. The magic carpet tries to fly away. Captain Satoshi manages to grab it as he ties it to a tree, So it wouldn't be able to fly away.
Yamato tries to break free as his feet are shackled as well. Daisuke makes an evil smirk as he stands in front of him.
"I am afraid you have outstayed you're welcome, Prince Moomoo." Daisuke tells Yamato this was all a means to become king. "I am afraid that I can't let you take what should be mine."
"Why you doublecrossing . . ." Yamato muffles as he is pulled back. Daisuke wanted to marry Sera so he could take the kingdom.
"Make sure he's NEVER found." Daisuke orders as he laughs evilly.
One of the guards takes a club as he hits Yamato on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Author's Note: I wanted to have Yamato and Sera kiss on the rooftop before they shared another kiss on the balcony. Yeah, they were pretty much kissing each other for hours. So romantic isn't it? Sigh. Please let me know what you thought of it.
I just prefer Tusk and Amu but I will have some Leo and Amu as well soon too. After all it's a love triangle for a reason. It's just one-sided right now.
Yeah, I want to leave you in suspense for the next chapter. Yamato doesn't have the lamp. So how's he going to escape. Amu or Misao will have to make the wish. One or both of them will have to find him. I thought about them seeing Yamato be taken and they follow. Once they see him get thrown into the water. Amu begs Leo to save him. Leo naturally is still hurt due to her relationship with Tusk. Naturally they use their second wish to save him.
Also a reminder to please review my story 'The Bet' if Marvelous and Luka interest you.
Anyway please read/review this story too! Thanks.
