CONTINUATION OF...The Dinner *welcome to part 2* ^_^
Each of the children's mouths hung open. Jasmine tried to keep her smile on, although she could clearly see the mixed emotions on each of her kids. Aladdin tried his best to smile also, but as his eyes went from one child to the next, he could see the anger in each of their eyes. He suddenly felt incredibly horrible and worthless and wanted to leave. But Jasmine was grasping his hand so tightly and she smiled at him. She looked like an angel. He followed her to their seats. Originally, he would sit at the head of the table, and Jasmine at the other end. But tonight was different. Tonight was...
"So DAD, why did ya decide to come back, huh? Buttmunch get on yer nerves?!" bellowed the tiny annoying voice. Aladdin and Jasmine's eyes shot Teeny Jasmine a glare. She smirked and her twin brother across the table started to laugh.
"Yea Buttmunch didn't take long to get on ours. We're surprised you lasted that long!" now Teeny Jasmine was laughing too. Jasmine shot Aladdin 4th a glare also. Aladdin became uncomfortable. The other children felt strange and weren't sure how to act. Aladdin Jr., who was at the front of the table next to his father, tried his back to hold back any comments. But Aladdin could hear him growling under his breath. Little Jasmine looked pissed. She kept looking at her mom with sympathy, and then looking at her dad and making a mean face. Tiny Jasmine actually looked happy and seemed to be longing to say something positive. But her twin across the table was eyeing her up, and that was stopping her. Jasmine felt awkward because it was the first family dinner for two years, and she was used to seeing her husband sit where they were now with her at the other end.
The servants began to serve dinner. Andralia was there to place napkins on each of their laps. She started with Aladdin and she winked at him and placed his on his lap while mouthing 'don't be nervous'. Aladdin watched Aladdin Jr.'s eyes carefully. He followed Andralia's every move like a predator and its prey. As she placed the napkin on his lap he could see Andralia seemed scared of him but Aladdin Jr. smiled evilly and went to nonchalantly grab her, but she got away. Aladdin was shocked by this small scene and made a mental note to talk to Andralia about this later. Each of the members looked as if they wanted to say something. Jasmine was continuously shooting glares to each of the youngest twins as they giggled across the table. As the food was being placed, the servants slowly exited the room one by one. Once the last dinner palate was down, the final servant closed the door behind her after dimming the chandelier lights. There was still just enough ambiance to see everyone's facial expressions clearly. The family began to peacefully eat.
Once dinner was done, the servants returned to take away dishes and place the dessert. Whipped cream over strawberries and ice cream. Jasmine's favorite, thought Aladdin. As the servants once again left, the last one returned the brightness of the room by turning back up the lights.
"DADDY..." Tiny Jasmine started. Everyone looked shockingly at her. "Daddy, I missed you. I thought I saw you this morning in the cafeteria and I was right!" she smiled happily. Aladdin smiled too. He suddenly felt much better.
"Yea well I heard you were here but didn't want to believe it..." Aladdin Jr. said. Tiny Jasmine and Jasmine eyed him up angrily. He put down his spoon noisily. "So why did you come back, huh? Not enough money left for the slut?" The girls gasped, except Teeny Jasmine who was trying not to fall off her chair.
"Aladdin Junior, stop it now." Jasmine commanded.
"Came back to the Palace to steal more of our money for her, huh? Is that it? Or did the stupid whore just get too annoying for you? I never did like her you know. She can't help but flirt with anything that has a pulse and a di-"
"ALADDIN JUNIOR!" Jasmine yelled, standing up from her chair. "You apologize right now!"
"No, no Jasmine, let me talk." Aladdin said. Jasmine slowly sat back down. "Son, I-"
"Don't 'SON' me. You were never much of a father anyway! Listen, I don't want to hear any of your stupid lies about what you did with that skank. Just get outta here, and do it soon!" he yelled, knocking his chair over behind him as he stood up and stormed out the door, slamming it loudly behind him. Jasmine stood up also, and a servant or two poked their heads in to check things out. There was no more laughing from the young ones. Aladdin stood up to leave.
"Aladdin... where are you going?" Jasmine said following him. He left the room and Jasmine trailed behind him, leaving the 5 other kids alone in the room.
"Ohhhhh no this is all my fault!" Tiny Jasmine started. Her sister turned to her.
"No it's not. It's my twin's fault. He's a jerk...not that Dad isn't..." Little Jasmine replied.
"Daddy's not a jerk. He just made a mistake, okay?" Tiny Jasmine said, and feeling tears well up in her eyes, she stood up and left.
Little Jasmine looked up at her younger brother Aladdin 3rd. He was definitely the quietest one of the family. He had nothing to say, so stood up and left also. Little Jasmine threw down her spoon and walked out the door behind him. The youngest twins sat in silence.
"I wonder what's going on with Dad and Mom..." Aladdin 4th said.
"You mean EX-Dad and Mom." Teeny Jasmine said.
"Hey you don't know, he might be really coming back." her twin brother said, taking off his bow tie.
"I hope not. I can't stand to look at him. At least Buttmunch didn't come along. Hey! I heard she's going to DP!" the little one said.
"REALLY? That is so cool! Can we go visit and torture her?" the boy replied.
"I don't know! We should ask Minnie!" Teeny Jasmine said, now getting excited.
"Minnie?! Are you stupid? She'd never let us do that! We have to do it ourselves!" Aladdin 4th answered.
"Hey, Minnie is cool! She likes me because I have major power. She'd let me!" the girl said, turning up her nose.
"Would not!" chimed her brother.
"Would too!" yelled the sister.
"WOULD NOT!" shouted her twin.
"WOULD TOO! AND TAKE THAT!" Teeny Jasmine threw a strawberry at her twin, hitting him square in the eye.
"OW! You butthole!" He threw a scoop of ice cream at her, hitting her face and melting everywhere.
"YOU JERKOFF! I HATE YOU!" Teeny Jasmine then threw the entire dessert at her bratty twin before storming out.
"I'll get you for that!" Aladdin 4th said, now covered in ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. He attempted to lick some off his face and ate the strawberries. Not caring about his appearance, he proceeded to each chair and ate everyone else's untouched desserts.
**************************************************************************
Aladdin quickly entered his guest room and shut the door behind him, locking it. He could hear Jasmine coming to the room with her noisy shoes on the marbled floor. He quickly grabbed his bag and began to throw stuff in it. Then he heard knocking on his door.
"ALADDIN!" he could hear Jasmine say. He continued to throw anything he could fit into the bag. "Aladdin, let me in!" she cried. "He didn't mean any of that, he's just angry!" Aladdin pulled the drawstrings tight and threw off his jacket, shirt and pants, to quickly change into a pair of baggy pants. "Aladdin, let me in there right now!" He tied his sash belt and grabbed his vest, throwing it on as he slung the bag around his neck and arm. "By order of the Queen, let me in!" she was shouting, not sounding mad, but frustrated and sad. "Let me-" He opened the door and she looked worried.
"Goodbye Jasmine." he said, trying to move her out of the way.
"NO Aladdin, what are you doing?!" she said, spreading her arms across the doorway.
"Jasmine...I'm sorry." he said. Her eyes grew teary and she slowly let her hands fall back to her side, stepping aside for him to pass through. He looked into her eyes and she into his own. "It just won't work out." He walked through the door and towards the big entrance to leave. Jasmine looked angry and stomped her foot. Just then, she had an idea and, crazy as it may seem, she ran to her room fast.
**************************************************************************
Aladdin headed down the stairs and continued to tell himself not to look back. As he went out the big gates, he stepped onto the hard city ground and smiled, going over in his head the paces to get to his hovel.
As he turned the corner, a figure followed him in a stalking manner.
Aladdin stopped at one point and began to talk to himself.
"The short cut, or the long way...hmmmm. Well, it's a nice night, I'll take the long way." He headed straight and was silent.
The figure, turned left and seemed to know about the short cut.
As Aladdin reached the building of his hovel, he smiled.
"It's been a while since I've been here..." he said to himself as he started the climb. Up the ladder, over the old rubble, across the roof top, under the low beams, up the stairs and... "Hey...who's there?" he demanded. He threw down his bag and grabbed a stray stick, not remembering where his scythe was. "I'm armed and I'm dangerous..." The figure stood up. Aladdin squinted his eyes and as he made his way around the walls of the hovel, he found his lantern and lit a match to light it. As the luminance brightened the tiny room, he could slowly start to make out the figure...of a...woman? His first thoughts were that someone else took his place in the past year he was gone. But as the flame continued to grow, the light shaded its way up the body and soon he could tell that it was
"JASMINE???" he said, dropping the stick on the ground.
"Hello, Aladdin." she smiled. Aladdin's eyes were wide and his mouth open, in shock that Jasmine had come to his hovel...and before he arrived there. "Listen, Aladdin..." she started, making her way closer and closer to him. "I let you leave me once. You're NOT going to do it again." she finished, now face to face with him. The moment was then and in one bold move, Jasmine planted her lips onto his, for a deep, loving kiss. It was long, it was passionate, and it was good. After about a minute, the two parted.
"Jasmine...I-"
"Shhhh..." she started, placing her finger on his lips. "No need for words now... I know what you want to say. I can feel it." Aladdin smiled and realized just how amazing his Princess really was. How could he have ever left her. And why did it take so long to rekindle the flame that had left them years ago? Jasmine hugged him tightly, thinking to herself how it had been almost 4 years that the passion was gone, and how happy she was to be getting it back. Aladdin pulled away from the hug and touched his nose to hers.
"My Princess..." he started, gazing into her eyes. "I don't know what happened to me that made me do what I did. But I've put it behind me now. And it's time to start anew. And I want to talk to my kids. Each one of them. I want to be a family again." he smiled at her and gave her a soft kiss.
"Ahhhhh Aladdin..." Jasmine began. "That's just what I wanted to hear. But no more talk right now." she said, enveloping them into another beautiful kiss. When it ended, Aladdin walked to the window and threw open the ragged curtain to reveal the beautiful city of Agrabah.
"Ohhh Agrabah. If you weren't here, I would have returned just for this view. There it is...Agrabah...your home."
"OUR home. Our lives. Our FUTURE." Jasmine stated as they sat on the bed and watched in wonder the beautiful city. Aladdin walked to the lantern and blew out the lamp, letting the small lights from the few homes still lit light up the room. He sat closely to Jasmine and she turned to him, her brown eyes sparkling. He kissed her and layed her down on the bed. As he lie next to her, he stroked her arm and smelled her hair and they talked all night - just like the old times. They shared stories and feelings, touches and kisses, emotions and most of all - they shared their love.
