"Where do you suppose we could be?"asked Jasmine.

"Tulip. Point me."Mihrimah said to her wand.

It automatically pointed towards her right, and rotated three times. She sighed.

"Just our luck. They won't be able to get here. Maybe with several days if we're lucky, but I doubt that, taking into account what just happened to us."she said to them.

"What are you talking about?"

"My wand. Tulip can't be close, and if he's not, then no one else is, either!"she crired.

"How do you know?

"My wand."she told them.

Neither Aladdin nor Jasmine knew what Mihrimah was talking about.

"Well, it's so I know where Tulip is."

"Would it be any good to call him over here?"asked Aladdin, hopefully.

"Only through red sparks, but I don't think that'll be of any use."

"Maybe you could, you know, magic us out of here."

"Magic will only get you so far! I mean, look, there's three of us and who knows how many of them!"exclaimed Mihrimah, throwing herself in to Al's arm. "But I suppose my hero will save me, won't he?"she said, smiling up at him.

Jasmine went and pushed Mihrimah away, and stood between them.

"Then we need to figure something out."

"Like?"

"I don't know, you got us into this mess."she told Mihrimah.

"Jasmine don't be so hard on her."

"Oh, you understand me, don't you?"

"It's just that right now isn't the time to point fingers. We gotta figure out how to get out of here."

"True."said Mihrimah. "And now, let's see, if I were a criminal, what would I do with hostages and how close an eye would I keep on them?"she asked herself.

She looked at the door.

"It's worth a shot, don't you think?"

"Don't you have any more of that one potion?"asked Aladdin. "The one you used to get into the selamlik?"

"What!"exclaimed Jasmine. "How? When?"

"The Polyjuice Potion?"

"I mean...I..."Aladdin didn't know what to say.

I shouldn't have mentioned that. He thought to himself.

"Um, back at the school...um...you know..."

"The potion changes you into someone else. But it's useless unless you have something from the person you want to turn into. So we'll have to look. There must be something, a hair, anything. And be careful. It's not supposed to be used for animal transformations. Get looking!"

"Right."said Aladdin, as he began to scan the floor.

Jasmine looked furious and refused to help.

"you know, we'll get out of here much faster if you help."said Mihrmah.

"Don't you talk to me!"exclaimed Jasmine, who was facing the wall.

"Oh, I thought you were giving me the silent treatment. It's good to see you're not. I could give you lessons, though. I'm great at that."

Jasmine shot her a venomous look.

"Stupid witch."she said.

"We'll never find them!"cried Iago. "And the princess had such powers, and money! Now the kid will never marry her! And things were going well!"

"Shut up!"said Tulip, and did the silencing charm on him again. "I will not remove it this time, Bird. You're chattering is slowing us down and could scare anything we could get information from. What's important is to find my lady, not to be crying like a..."Tulip decided not to say. "We're going deeper and deeper into the desert every time."he said, looking up at the sky. "Well, my lady always did enjoy looking at such brightly lit starry skies. Perhaps she is outside looking at the stars right now. Let's hope at least she is not in any danger."
