Now that the ship had been captured, Leonarda did not know what was going to happen to them. She and her maid, were set aside, as they were only women.

"What do you suppose shall happen to us?"Leonarda asked her.

"I don't know, Mistress Leonarda."

"What is going to happen to us?"Leonarda asked one of the men once, but he wouldn't answer her. "At least they're not going to starve us."she said, as someone always came to bring them something to eat. "And how long will this journey take?"

In Agrabah, Aladdin presented himself to the Sultan as a prince, thanks to his first wish. The Sultan seemed delighted and impressed by him, however, his vizier seemed to detest him from the very moment he walked in. However, Aladdin, or rather Prince Ali, didn't seem to be very interested in what the vizier thought of him, as long as the Sultan favored him, and the princess liked him was more than enough. He was given his own suite within the palace, of course, and as he had brought his own servants, which was something else Genie had provided. He asked when he would be allowed to see the princess, and was told that she would be waiting for him by the fountain in her courtyard. Genie came out of the lamp.

"So, we must prepare out little beau for the initial meeting."he said, turning into a tailor once more.

Carpet watched as Genie surveyed Aladdin and wondered what outfit would be best for such an occasion.

"Okay, now, what should I say?"asked Aladdin excitedly. "How do I look?"he asked Genie.

Carpet clapped his approval, Abu, watching from a window, simply rolled his eyes, while Genie gave him a thumbs up sign.

"Right."said Aladdin, and he went to meet Princess Jasmine.

Jasmine had heard the parade, and went out of her window to see what the fuss was all about. Another suitor. Just like the others, no doubt, she thought as she watched. There was only one man she had met who had been different, who had not seen her just as the Princess of Agrabah, but simply a woman. She wasn't surprised when she was told that he wanted to see her.

"I'd go."Sirhane, one of the concubines told her. "After all, the boy from the marketplace has been executed now. If you just sit here, and mourn him, that won't bring him back. And you have a duty to fulfill. If I was you, I'd just take this one. From what I heard, he has everything, more than everything. He's definitely worthy of the princess, they say. Everyone is talking about him. Were you watching as he entered the Palace?"she asked.

"Yes, I was watching."answered Jasmine.

"Well, what good does it do you to just sit around and cry? Just take this one. It'll help get your father off your back, you fulfill your duty, and who knows? You may even forget this other boy."

"I will never be able to forget him."said Jasmine, as tears filled her eyes.

"Oh, don't cry again. It won't do any good. Anyway, you don't want the prince to see you with red, swollen eyes."

Sirhane picked up her handkerchief and gave it to Jasmine to dry her tears.

"Just dry your tears, you don't even have to put on a happy face when you see him. Just say that you'll marry him and that's that. You get married, and it's the end to all these problems."

"I guess so. I'll go see him by the fountain."she said.

Sirhane laughed, remembering the last suitor, who had walked out of there with a hole in his pants. Jasmine walked outside, and sat by the fountain, waiting for him. Sirhane is right, she though. I will never like any of these stuffed shirt swavering peacocks, anyway. I might as well just choose this one and get it over with. She looked up to see him coming. She composed herself, and as soon as he introduced himself, she just followed Sirhane's advice.

"I will marry you, Prince Ali."she said, simply.

Aladdin couldn't believe his ears when she said she would marry him. Really, he couldn't be so lucky. He hadn't expected the princess to accept so quickly. He didn't know what to say.

"It is an honor, Princess."he simply said.

She simply nodded.

"I must go back to the haremlik."she said. "I'd like the wedding to be as soon as possible."

"Whatever you say."

She got up to go. And he was mesmerized. When he got back, Genie, Abu and Carpet were waiting for news.

"So, how'd it go?"asked Genie.

"She said she'd marry me! She wants it to be as soon as possible."

"We have a wedding to plan!"exclaimed Genie.

The Sultan was delighted that Jasmine had finally chosen a suitor, and decided that they should be wed at once, and preparations went underway immediately.

They arrived at a port, and Leonarda was separated from her maid. They were both taken to a shop and while her maid was put in front, Leonarda was taken to a back room, where she was surveyed by a man dressed in the most expensive clothes and jewels she had ever seen. He seemed to be very impressed by her.

"What is your name?"he asked.

"You speak Italian?"

"Of course."

"My name is Leonarda Natele Gambetto Ruan. My father will reward you very well for my return to Venice, La Serenissima."she said.

The man smiled.

"But the I'm sure the Kislar Aghasi shall reward me more for beauty such as yours."he said.

"Who? What?"

"He shall be very pleased by you. They say the princess is to wed, and I'm sure the new sultan's Kislar shall be very pleased with you."

Leonarda thought she was going to be put to clean floors and such.

"Oh, no,"she said. "I must go back to Venice. See, I am to become a nun, not a slave!"

The man laughed, and she was taken away.
