Chapter 2: In Which They Make a Discovery
Jasmine walked to Aladdin's side as he muttered, "His eyes were glowing. Jasmine, I have an idea. Carpet!" He jumped onto the magic carpet as she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm gonna follow that kid," he shouted as he flew off.
"WHAT?!"
"Trust me!" and with that, Aladdin flew off towards the alleyways.
Jasmine stared after the receding carpet blankly. Then her face shifted into a mask of resolute determination. "Genie, we're following them. Abu, Iago, let's go!" and they dashed into the alleys following the carpet. A black cobra with ruby eyes lurked in the shadows watching the scene. and slithered away.
Meanwhile, Aladdin scanned the area for the running thief soaring with the carpet. The kid's eyes glowed and a wind picked up. coincidence? Not likely. The trail wasn't too difficult to follow though, because not many people traveled this area. Wait a minute. this is where I used to live. As Aladdin and the carpet flew along the scene became more vivid in his memory; this was his old home with the splendid view of the palace. "Heh," Aladdin smiled to himself, "to think that I'm LIVING in the palace now. you know carpet, if anyone told me that I would live in the palace back then, I would've said they were crazy." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flurry of activity, "Carpet! Over there!" The carpet swerved downwards towards a ramshackle building. The boy was just running into building, having heard Aladdin's voice. Hey, Aladdin thought, that's my place you're going into. Just as Aladdin was about to fly through the stairwell, he saw the boy's dark eyes glow white again. The boy was on the other side of the room and suddenly, the a piece of wood slid downwards and knocked Aladdin off the carpet and onto the dusty ground. "OW, my nose, my head," groaned Aladdin as his pushed himself up. The carpet glided down and helped nudge Aladdin up. He shook his head to clear the dizziness and walked up the stairs. "Hey boy-----!!!" he said as he entered the room, but as he looked up, he was so startled, he took a step back. Instead of the robe-covered boy, he saw the pile of robes on the ground at the feet of a young girl. "---Uh, girl?" shaking his head even more vigorously, he said to the carpet, "I must of hit my head harder than I thought." He looked up again at her. By the looks of it, she was probably thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a slender figure and had long black hair tied in a low ponytail, probably to prevent people from guessing she was the thief or maybe just to keep it out of her face. And the strangest of all, unlike all the other women and girls who wore long skirts and dresses and such, she was wearing baggy pants, not unlike to what Aladdin used to wear when he lived on the streets, and an old purplish crimson shirt. Aladdin looked into the two dark defiant eyes. She had high cheekbones and pointed chin, which gave her a very determined and proud look. Aladdin's observations were interrupted by a very annoyed voice, "What is your problem? Barging in here without permission, following me!"
"Uh. well, uh. you. stole something from the marketplace!" Aladdin had not expected this verbal attack and did the best job he could at a comeback. This girl's attitude reminded him of someone but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Right," the girl asked with her arms crossed, "and you want me to believe that you came all the way here just to tell me that."
"Okay, okay," he replied, changing tactics. NOW I know who she reminds me of. she's just like Jasmine, and I know that lies aren't gonna work. Psh. comes from experience. "I just wanted to know how you did that in the marketplace."
A fearful look came into her eyes, and flitted away as quick as it came. "Did what?"
"Don't play with me, I was there, I saw your eyes glow and then suddenly the wind picked up and you got away."
"Pure coincidence, and eyes don't glow Aladdin," she said coolly.
"Right, now you expect me to believe it's a coinci--- wait a minute, how do you know my name?"
To this question she responded with a condescending stare and silence. "YOU're the sultan of Agrabah you idiot, and you expect the, " here she adopted a mock voice, "citizens of Agrabah," and then changed back into her irritated voice, "not to know?" Then she smiled, "Especially when you were the best thief back then?"
Aladdin was dumbfounded for a moment. He couldn't believe this, HE was being called an idiot, by a kid?! He cleared his mind and continued, "Okay forget that," he said heatedly, "but I know it wasn't a coincidence, my eyes don't deceive me. I SAW your eyes glow AND you caused the wood to fall down when you were all the way on the other side of the room. I lived here for longer than you ever had and nothing EVER fell." Then seeing the strange expression on her face, what was it, fear? He said in a gentler tone, " How. did you. do that?"
She turned away, "Why should I tell you?"
Hearing her defeated tone, Aladdin slowly walked over and put his hand on her shoulder. She quivered as if she was resisting the urge to run. Aladdin said quietly yet reassuringly, "Don't you trust me?"
The girl slowly turned around and stared up into Aladdin's face, studying his expression for deceit or falsehood. Aladdin resisted gasping at the change in her face. It was like she took off her mask of confidence and he was looking at the true person, a gentle lonely figure living in the world. She whispered, "I've never trusted anybody. The only one a person like me can count on is myself," and walked to the window.
~Back to Jasmine and company~
They had been walking for sometime through the alleyways. The carpet was much faster than they were. Jasmine was worried about Aladdin as the sun was already starting to sink below the horizon, "Oh Genie, where can they be?"
Genie turned into a blue dog, "Don' worry Jasmine, I'll hunt them down with my super nose, " with those three words, his nose jumped off and donned a superman costume. The genie dog pounced on the runaway nose and stuck it back on his face. He chuckled his usual chuckle and morphed into a butterfly. Flying into Jasmine's face he said, "It's alright, has Al ever let us down before? Naaaaah, don't worry about the guy. He can take care of himself."
"Hey," Jasmine exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, "this was where Aladdin brought me when we first met! Let's go!"
"Oh sure, first we do this, then we do that, HOW many things do you want us to do, yeesh!" Iago squawked, "My feathers are moltin' here, don't you have any sympathy?!"
"Hey look, Aladdin," Abu pointed out a shadow approaching with his monkey dialect.
Everyone turned towards the nearing figure in expectation. Suddenly, Jasmine gasped, "No. it can't be." Genie and Abu's jaws dropped as low as the ground permitted.
The air around them tensed as Iago whispered the impossible idea that everyone had on their minds. "J- Jafar?"
"Impossible!"
