Chapter 2
A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world...
Maybe it's the third world...
Maybe it's his first time around.
Doesn't speak the language, holds no currency...
He is a foreign man...
----From "Call me Al" by Paul Simon
Jafar slowly opened his eyes. "Uhhhgh...where the Hades am I?" He was lying in an alley between two buildings. He stood up and dusted himself off, then looked at the buildings.
"That's funny...they don't look like alabaster." Said Jafar, but he shrugged it off and walked out of the alley. Then he screamed.
He was in a totally different world! There were huge buildings everywhere, the dirt streets had become hard and black, and there were huge animals running along the roads! And it was NOISY! This sure wasn't Agrabah, he told himself.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey buddy!"
Jafar turned. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, you can! Gimme all your money right now!"
Jafar laughed. "Don't try to steal from me! I'll have the guards cut your arm off!"
"Guards? What the hell yous talkin about?"
"You know, the palace guards?"
The man eyed Jafar over. "You new in town?"
"You are astonishingly perceptive."
"Aight, I'll give you a break today. Just hope we don't meet again."
"Um...ok."
Jafar resumed looking around. This world was so weird... He started to walk into the street, when one of the metal animals charged him. In the blink of an eye, he had his snake staff out and he shot a lightning bolt at it, disintegrating it.
"Hey! That's my car, motherf*cker!" Said the driver, storming over. "What the f*ck are you f*ckin doin? Huh? You gonna pay for my car now, b*tch! How do you like those f*ckin apples?"
Jafar sensed that there would be trouble, so he teleported himself a few blocks away. He decided to ask someone for help. As he walked, he saw people laughing at him.
"Hey look at that guy's clothes!"
"Nice hat, ya moron!"
"Shave much, buddy?"
"Who wears a cape in New York City?"
Jafar ignored them and soon he found a young man sitting on a bench, holding some sort of rectangular device.
"Excuse me..."
The boy looked up. "Hang on, let me save my game."
"Um, okay..."
In a minute, the boy looked up again. "Hello."
"Yes, hello. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly where I am."
The boy looked at him in puzzlement. "You mean you don't know?"
"No, I'm afraid not."
"You're in New York City, baby!"
"And what year is it?"
"Boy, where have you been hiding? It's 2002!"
Jafar jumped. "2002???? By Allah..." he noticed the device the boy was holding. "May I see this a moment?"
"Sure."
Jafar picked it up. "This material feels so strange... what is it?"
"It's plastic, man."
"Plastic?? Very interesting. Most interesting."
"Let me give you some advice." The boy said. "You can't walk around in NYC with those clothes. You gotta dress appropriately."
"So how do I do that?"
"Go into the GAP."
Jafar stared at him. "You mean for me to jump into an abyss?"
"No, no, no...it's a store. You buy clothes there."
"I see. Thank you. What is your name?"
"Paul."
"Thank you, Paul. I'll see you later."
Jafar went and tried to find this "abyss store."
Meanwhile, back in Agrabah...
"Aladdin! Aladdin!!!" Iago screamed, flying through the palace. He found Aladdin playing "Super Mario Bros." with Genie.
"These graphics are awesome!!!!" cried Aladdin.
Genie chuckled.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothin', nothin'. Heh heh."
"Aladdin!"
"What is it Iago?" Asked Aladdin.
"It's Jafar! He was using his hourglass, and a tornado came and took him away! He's gone!!!!"
Genie turned into a marching band and started playing a celebration song. Aladdin shot him a dirty look.
"Do you know where he went?" Asked Aladdin.
"I have no idea!"
"Genie, can't you sense him at all?"
"Hmm..." Genie's face turned into a huge satellite dish that started rotating around and around. Then it turned back to his face. "I've found him! He's several thousand years in the future! 2002 to be precise!"
"Holy shiatzu!" cried Iago.
"He's in a city called New York."
"He won't be able to live in that time!" Said Aladdin. "We've gotta save him!"
"Yes, you're absolutely right!" said Genie. "But we need someone dependable to get him!"
The room was silent, and then Iago felt very uncomfortable.
"How sad...the parrot can't take a hint." Whispered Genie.
"You want ME to get him?" Cried Iago.
"That's right, he can be taught!!!!"
"But, but..."
"It'll be easy!" Said Aladdin, "All you have to do is go there, find him, then come back."
Iago sighed. "Fine, fine... so you're gonna transport me there, blue boy?"
Genie shook his head. "My powers aren't that strong anymore. But I have a friend who can help you get there."
A man in a radiation suit with white wavy hair came in with a young man in a life preserver.
"Who the Hades are they?" Asked Iago.
"I'm Doc, and this is Marty." The man said.
"Oh."
"Now, all you have to do is get this car going to 88 miles an hour, and then you should be in 2002. Use this plutonium to get back, you got it?"
"And this thing won't screw up?"
"Precisely." Said the Doc. "Let's go."
5 minutes later, outside the palace...
"You strapped in tight, birdie?" Asked Doc.
"Yeah, I think so." Said Iago.
"All right then, let's do this. Marty, roll the camera."
"Check, Doc." The boy said.
Doc used his RC controller to zoom the car down the marketplace road and it vanished right before it slammed into Rasoul and the other guards.
"Taken by a tornado?" Asked Marty. "That's pretty heavy."
"Weight has nothing to do with it."

Maybe it's his first time around.
