"Take this."she said to Iago, handing him a small vial of a pearly white substance.

"What is it?"he asked, and suddenly a dreamy expression went over his eyes. "I think I smell money."he said gleefully.

Mihrimah slapped him in the face, and sealed the vial tightly.

"You'll smell more money if you do what I tell you. You go and drop some of this in one of the sherbets, and finally, make sure Aladdin drinks it!"she told him. "Or else."

Iago took it, and behind Genie's back, put a little drop into one of she sherbets. The strong scent of money, jewels, gold, and food overpowered him, and realizing it came from the vial, he decided to drink it all, thinking perhaps he would become rich with it. Genie came out, and saw Iago.

"Ahh. Haven't you ever noticed?"Iago asked him. "I just can't stop!"

"The parrot's gone mad!"he exclaimed.

"Mad! Mad! MAD!"exclaimed Iago. "You just really don't understand! Don't you see? Can't you see? Her hair, it's all dark and shiny, and she's so talented, and so romantic. She knows so much! She can sing so well! She's always the best at what she does!"

"What are you talking about?"Genie demanded.

"Mihrimah! Princess Mihrimah Sultan!"Iago said, and his eyes lit up as if he'd struck gold.

Abu spat out his sherbet, and looked at Iago in surprise.

"Hmm."Genie tried to think of a way to talk Iago out of this delusion.

"It's time to get going, I think. Where's Iago?"asked Mihrimah.

"He's in love with you."

"What!"

Aladdin, Jasmine and Carpet crashed into her, as she stopped so suddenly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Aaahh! See, like a vision."said Iago. "Especially wearing those purple robes that give her an air of royalty."

Everyone looked at Iago as if he'd gone crazy.

"Ooohhh! No, no, no, no! You stupid, stupid bird! Stupid parrot!"exclaimed Mihrimah.

"I always knew I wasn't worthy of you, Princess."Iago sobbed, at clutched the hem of her robes. "What shall I have to do win your heart? A lowly creature like me."

"Let go of me!"

She grabbed Iago, and shook him in her fist.

"You drank it yourself, didn't you! I should've known! When you want something done right, there's no doubt you have to do it yourself!"

"What did he drink, Mihrimah?"asked Aladdin.

"The potion! What else!"

"What potion?"

"It was supposed to be for someone else. For...um...prince who was supposed to...oh, never mind, it's a long story. Right now, what's important is to get the antidote, before this idiot does something stupid!"

Everyone nodded their agreement. Mihrimah ran to get her cauldron, and her ingredients out.

"Hang on to him, keep an eye on him. And don't let him out of your sight, please. This won't take too long. It's really a simple mixture."

Jasmine went with her.

"Whatever Iago drank was meant for Aladdin, wasn't it?"she asked.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. The stupid parrot just couldn't resist whatever the potion smelled to him of! I already explained it was meant for someone else."Mihrimah said, as she began to chop the ingredients and put them in the cauldron.

"If it was meant for the prince you said, then how did Iago get ahold of it?"

"Probably went sneaking among my personal possessions, how else?"snapped Mihrimah.

Jasmine turned around, fuming. It did rather sound like Iago to be sneaking around people's things, after all.

"It was meant for you."she told Aladdin, while they were waiting, and several Genies were gaurding Iago in a small cage, on all sides.

"What are you talking about, Jasmine?"

"That foul thing, whatever it was that Iago drank, was obviously for you to fall in love with her!"

"Why would Mihrimah do something like that?"

Jasmine crossed her arms and turned away. Really, why were boys so stupid as to not see what was staring them in the face?

"I got it."said Mihrimah.

She came with two goblets.

"Here. Now we shall toast."she told Iago.

"For true love."he said.

"Right. What else?"she replied as she drank from her goblet.

After the first gulp, Iago's expression changed back to normal.

"Oh, right. You had something in mind about a sherbert, didn't you, Princess?"he said.

"Oh, shut up, you stupid parrot."she said angrily.

Genie came to examine Iago.

"Yup, everything back to normal."he said happily.

"What are you talking about?"asked Iago.

"Well, we've got to get a move on now. If we're ever going to get there. Now it's more important than ever that we get there."she said. "After the disaster we just went through."she added to herself. "A complete failure!"

Mihrimah wouldn't talk to Iago for the rest of the day.

"Um, Kid, you know why the Princess won't talk to me? She seems pretty angry."he asked Aladdin.

"Wouldn't you be? You made a fool of yourself saying you loved her and a bunch of other stuff."Aladdin told him.

Abu and Genie laughed.

"What?"

"Iago, you were going on about how beautiful she was, that she was your true love and a bunch of other stuff. Really, I'd never thought you were capable of loving someone to such a degree."

Mihrimah sat by herself, staring angrily at her feet.

"Stupid, stupid bird."she said to herself. "Now, we really have to get to the middle of nowhere, if I'm ever going to get the love of my life."she said to herself. "No more breaks. Only straight."

"Where're Genie, Iago and Abu?"she asked, seeing that only Aladdin, Carpet and Jasmine were there.

"I think they went to look for you! Everyone did. We're waiting to see if they found you."
