Everyone climbed onto the carpet that was waiting for them.
"So where are we really going?"asked Iago.
"To see the stars."she said.
"Couldn't we do that from here?'asked Aladdin.
"These are different stars."she said. "And we'd better get on our way."
She consulted her star chart.
"Hmmm. It is a long long way. But it is fundamental that we get there!"
"Why?"
"Oh, that's a surpise!"
"I love surprises."said Iago.
"What kind of a surprise?"asked Jasmine.
"A special one, of course."said Mihrimah.
"Sounds good."said Iago.
They traveled almost all day, and only stopped for a bit of rest in a small oasis, where they enjoyed some sherberts.
"You don't want to consume so much this time, Iago."said Mihrimah.
"Oh, don't you worry, Princess."
"You still haven't said where we're going, Mihrimah."said Jasmine.
"Oh, you're so impatient!"she exclaimed.
"It seems like to the middle of nowhere."said Aladdin.
"Middle of nowhere, my foot! You just have to be patient."
Genie came out from behind a tree, carrying more sherberts.
"Banana, pineapple, raspberry, cherry, chocolate, and vanilla."
"It's hot here."said Aladdin, taking one.
Mihrimah waved her wand, and one of the leaves of a palm tree fell of and began to fan Aladdin.
"I suppose that's better?"
"Yeah, much better."
"Good."
Jasmine shot a venemous look at Mihrimah, who didn't seem to notice her.
"I suppose we must stay here for the nigt. Wouldn't make any sense to travel anymore, and it's almost twilight, anyway."
"Where are we going to sleep?"
Mihrimah waved her wand, and a giant miniature palace apearred.
"In here, of course."she said.
When they got inside, they saw that the inside was even bigger than the outside.
"Wow."
"You don't think we would have slept outside, do you?"
"Of course not. I love magic."said Iago.
"We'll be on our way again early in the morning."she said, as she went back outside.
"You're not going to sleep yet?"
"No, I'll be outside for a while. I want to see the stars, plus it's a little cooler outside now."
She stayed outside, and stared at the sky. It was always so much nicer in the middle of the desert.
"Soon, I will be standing under the triangle, and I will be promised eternal happiness."
She closed her eyes, and opened them again. She took out her wand and conjured an image of Aladdin.
"Quiziera que este latiendo en tu mirar el amor mio."she said, as she looked into his eyes, and sighing. "And very soon it will. It will. I must only be a little patient. After all, I am a witch. And with magic anything is possible, is it not? Or even without magic."
She took out her star chart. Accordiing to it, they would probably have to travel several more weeks, months even, to get to the right spot in the Seven Deserts.
"I can't wait that long."she said to herself.
She had never been one to wait for anything. Everything had always been granted for her. Everything. Right then and there. And now, just what she wanted more than anything, she couldn't have. At least not right away. Potions, being her favorite class, and her being an apt potion maker, she could brew just about anything.
"A love potion."she said.
She knew of course, that as powerful as the potion itself was, it could never actually create love. At least not in the way she would have liked it. To do that, she would have to get all the way to the stars.
"Only for a little while."she said to herself.
After all, the days were pretty hot in the desert, even despite her magic, maybe...maybe just a little bit wouldn't hurt. Only to...perhaps it could even get Jasmine out of the way. That would be something. She got up and ran to her cauldron, to get her ingredients out.
"With Iago's help, I'm sure to get the right amount into the rihgt drink."she said, as she busily began to put together the love potion.
"Let's see...I have all the ingredients here. I never travel without my ingredients, of course. Hmmm. I'll just have to brew it, and finally, just give it to him."
She happily began to chop the ingredients and began to put them to stew in her silver and gold cauldron.
