Aladdin followed Jesminder to a dilapidated building.
"Is this where you live?" Aladdin asked, looking around.
"Yes, it is," Jesminder snapped, then she paused and turned to look at Aladdin. "Why are you still here?"
"I don't have anything better to do."
Jesminder sighed. At least the monkey didn't exactly talk. She jumped on her neighbor's roof. "Fine, whatever. Come on. I'm not waiting for you to catch up."
Aladdin held up his hands. "Fine with me, but I don't think that I'm the one who'll need to catch up."
"Excuse me?" Jesminder asked, raising her eyebrows and ignoring the monkey's laughter.
"Well...I don't mean to be mean...but everyone knows how fast I am. After all, I AM Agrabah's number one thief."
"I don't think so. Thieves don't sing about how they manage to escape the guards. REAL thieves are quiet, discreet...sort of like stalking...you seem to be very good at that."
"It's a gift," Aladdin grinned, turning his hands and eyes upwards and shrugging his shoulders as if Allah had, in fact, given it to him.
Jesminder smiled. It was the first time since she met Aladdin.
Aladdin stared at her intently. It was one of those stares where it's like the other person is staring into your soul, trying to read your thoughts. She had big eyes that Aladdin found very nice. He thought for a second, then came to a conclusion.
"You think I'm attractive, don't you?" Aladdin asked trying (and failing) to hide his smirk.
"What?" Jesminder's eyes got huge as she tried to contain her laughter, even though it was true. Aladdin was handsome, but for her to date, or even marry, he couldn't be a street rat. . .
"I can see it. Believe me, this isnt the first time a girl thought that I looked great," he said somewhat proudly.
"You arent conceited, are you?"
"I'm really not. I'm just telling you what you are thinking," Aladdin shrugged and leaned agaisnt a wall.
"Even if I did like you like that, why would I give you a chance? You're just a street rat." Jesminder turned to walk around.
Aladdin was taken aback. He had been called that before, but not by another homeless thief. "Aren't YOU just a street mouse?" he asked with an edge to his voice and taking a step towards her. Abu said something, but Aladdin didn't acknowledge it. He stared at Jesminder.
Jesminder suddenly stopped walking. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that..."
"It's okay. It's not the first time," Aladdin muttered again.
Jesminder hit herself inwardly. She had almost blown her cover, and she had insulted Aladdin. She began walking again- somewhat quicker, as if the faster she walked, the faster the conversation would be forgotten. Aladdin quickly caught up with her.
