Aladdin woke up curled up against Judal's chest. It was warm; as strange as it was for her to think abut, she felt at home. His face was buried in her hair, which was still in its braid. His hair had been taken out, tangled around both of them. She ran a hand through it, admiring the silky feel. She yawned still not fully awake.

Judal started to move. As he did Aladdin realized their legs were tangled together too. They were really close; Aladdin blushed. She felt Judal's arms tighten around her more as he turned their bodies so she was half lying on his chest.

"You fell asleep pretty fast Chibi. I was so bored."

"You're the one who told me to go to sleep. 'Goodnight' means that it's time to go to sleep. If you didn't want me to go to sleep you should have told me or done something else."

"It sounds like you're saying I should have kept kissing you." Judal knew her face must be bright red, even if he couldn't see it.

"That's not what I meant and you know it." A long silence. "If you want to do it again it's okay."

"Oh? Was it better than Sinbad?"

Aladdin's face was on fire and she hid her face, turning into Judal's chest more. "It wasn't gross."

He smirked. "I hope not. What did it feel like Chibi?"

"My heart started beating really fast and my stomach felt all warm. Can we stop talking about this please? It's embarrassing."

"But you get so cute when you're embarrassed."

"I liked it. You were better at it then Sinbad was. Happy now?"

"Actually yes." She glared at him and her cheeks puffed out.

"What time do we need to leave? I have no idea where we are or how far we are going. I wasn't really paying attention to the GPS yesterday."

"We should leave soon. We still have a few hours of driving left. I don't want to hit any traffic, and I want to get there with the sun still up. Which reminds me, I need to call the cleaning crew and have them get the house set up. I don't want to have to deal with any of that shit when we get there."

He sat up, pulling Aladdin with him. She tried to move out of his way but he held her in place with one arm, using the other to grab his phone and call his usual cleaning crew. He called the maid whose number he had, telling her to get the others and take care of the house. He wanted the kitchen to be stocked, all the dishes to be cleaned, bed to be made, and everything else to be cleaned in the usual way.

When he got off the phone, he leaned his cheek against Aladdin's head. They stayed like that for several minutes before Judal told her to get ready to leave. Aladdin's clothes were extremely wrinkled and had food stains on them from all the eating in the car. Her muscles were stiff. She didn't really feel like driving anymore. She tried to smooth away the wrinkles but they wouldn't go away. She looked to see if Judal had the same problem only to feel a trickle of annoyance. His clothes were perfect, like he had just pulled them on, not spent hours in the car the day before and slept in them. She was jealous. He looked perfect and she looked like a mess. He didn't have to put any effort in. She remembered all the lectures she had gotten from Yamraiha, Jafar, and Sinbad about taking care to keep her appearance together-makeup, hair, nails, clothes, shoes, accessories. She pushed those thoughts away. There had been a time when none of that had mattered.

When Judal saw her rumpled clothes he chuckled. "Not one to care about image Chibi?"

She just shot him an annoyed look, grabbing her purse from where she had dropped it the night before. "Let's go, the sooner we do this the sooner we can relax."

Judal smirked. Following her to the valet and into the car. He was walking towards the passenger seat when Aladdin threw something at him. He looked at what he had caught-the car keys-then to her.

"I don't want to drive again. Besides, you like fast cars right? Have fun. This is dad's old car anyway. He won't care."

On what planet would any man not care what happened to a car this beautiful? Judal just shook his head at her before climbing into the drivers seat and pulling away from the hotel. Aladdin looked out the window for a while, but after a while her eyes migrated to Judal. She just stared at him.

"Is there something on my face Chibi? I don't like being stared at."

"Yeah, well there isn't anything more interesting to look at around here so you're going to have to deal with it. Pay attention to the road."

It was still early. They had woken up before the sun had risen. There wasn't anybody on the roads yet. Judal looked around before he grinned at Aladdin. "You have your seatbelt on?"

"Of course. What kind of question is that?"

Judal didn't answer, instead pushing down on the accelerator. The car picked up speed quickly, racing down the freeway. Aladdin was nervous at first, but relaxed after the initial shock passed. She liked the speed. They didn't see a single car for ten minutes. As soon as Judal saw one though, he slowed down, coming to a more reasonable speed.

"That was fun. Why did you slow down?"

"I don't want another driver to call the cops on us. Do you want to eat now or wait? There is a town coming up soon."

"Let's eat now. And coffee! I want coffee."

"You have plenty of energy, why the hell do you need caffeine?"

"Because caramel coffee tastes good."

"Oh, you're one of those."

They stopped, getting food and coffee. They continued on for several hours, sometimes talking and sometimes staying silent. Aladdin looked at the huge pine trees and the beautiful mountains. This place was gorgeous.

"We're almost there Chibi. Like half an hour."

A few minutes later Aladdin saw the lake. It was huge. It reflected the sun. She couldn't put into words the beauty she saw. She wanted to look at the water up close.

"Can we go spend time at the lake?"

"We can, but it's going to be really cold. It's wintertime, and the water is always cold. It isn't a good idea to spend a lot of time out at the lake right now. It's better in summer. It feels all refreshing."

Aladdin was a little disappointed. She wanted to go swimming and kayaking.

Judal continued, "Over the summer we can go out on the lake. I'll take you sailing."

"Summer?"

"If you want to. I'll sneak away from Al Thamen for a few weeks and we can spend time here. You need to remember not to overwork yourself Chibi. Little ones can get sick easily."

"Would you stop referring to me as little please?"

Judal laughed. "But you are little, Chibi. I'm simply calling it as I see it."

Aladdin groaned and laid her head against the dashboard. She felt the car slowing. They pulled into a small drive. It looked like they were maybe coming to a gated community.

Judal kept driving, stopping at the only house on the road.

"Come on Chibi. I'll show you around. We can go shopping for clothes and stuff for you tomorrow."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the front door. He walked her through every room in the house. Every bedroom, office, the library, sun room, dining room, kitchen, living room, home-gym, ending with the music room. Aladdin gasped when she saw it. There were so many instruments! She walked up to the piano. It was a work of art. The wood was polished and shiny. She ran her hand across the keys. "This room is amazing. It has to be my favorite."

Judal smiled. "Yeah, my favorite too. I tend to spend most of my time in here." He grabbed her hand again, pulling her towards his room. "Chibi, you need to put some more clothes in. You have goose bumps." He grabbed a long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt from his closet, throwing them on the bed for her to change into, pulling a pair of sweats out of the dresser and throwing them on the bed too. "Those have a drawstring to fix the waist size, but you are going to have to deal with the length." Aladdin put on the clothes after he left the room, then went around the house looking for him. He was in the theater room looking at movies.

He set up an action movie and flopped onto the couch. She sat down beside him. Looked over at her, noticing the worn out look on her face. She needed some time to rest and relax. Without any makeup to cover the wear and tare of overwork she looked horrible, sick almost. Judal waited a minute before he tugged on her braid, forcing her head to rest against him. She was tense for a few moments before relaxing. After a minute of sitting in that position, both of them uncomfortable, Judal scooted Aladdin over into his lap, ignoring her protests. She fell asleep almost immediately. He finished the movie before grabbing the blanket laid on the back of the couch and draping it over them.
