"You ran like you were running from a ghost!"panted Iago.
"A ghost!"exclaimed Fahriha.
"Yeah, you just ran. Honestly, I've never seen you run like that before! I didn't even know you could! Why?"
Fahriha nodded, and walked towards her rooms.
"Oh, well, good night. These late nights are getting to me, you know!"yawned Iago.
Fahriha didn't hear him, but just went on to her room.
Khalil saw that he had done the wrong thing when Fahriha had run. He was about to go after her, but decided against it, since if they were caught, there would definitely be serious trouble. He noticed that in her rush she forgot to pick up the veil she had removed.
"I've got to hide this."he said to himself.
He put it under the cushions.
"I hope they won't find it in there."
"I don't want to go again. Ever."Fahriha was telling Iago.
"Is it because I complained about the late nights? Honestly. It's much better than sitting around doing nothing all day. We used to have tons of adventures before, but then the Kid and the Princess just got obsessed over all the brats, especially you. Even the Genie and the Rug were all after you. The Monkey was the only one who had a bit of common sense, but, you know, just not the same."
"I don't want to go there again."
"Your dad find out?"
"Oh, please no!"exclaimed Fahriha. "I don't want my parents to find out!"
"Oh, so they didn't."
"I most certainly hope not!"
"Oh, good. Cause then...we're both dead."
"Do you have to remind me? I think I'm already dead."she said.
"You look alive to me."
She glared at him.
"You better leave, Iago. I want to be alone."she said.
"Sure. You're acting a little weird today."
"And?"demanded Aladdin. "What are you going to do about it?"
The Kizlar looked up.
"He hasn't asked for her for a while, Your Majesty."
Aladdin threw his hands up in the air.
"It was precisely that, I thought, that was keeping his mind off Fahriha! Maybe...find someone else! Yeah, that's it! Probably just got tired of this one, and...the only solution is to find him another."
"From-?"
"The marketplace, where else?"
The Kizlar nodded.
"I'll see to it right away, Your Majesty."
"You had better!"
As soon as he left, Aladdin turned to Genie.
"I just don't see how you could possibly have let this one pass those tests of yours!"demanded Aladdin.
"Well, Al, I had no way out, unless it was to mess with his mind."
"Then you should have done that! Fortunately, I've been able to keep things under control here!"
Genie nodded.
"Having you here, so able, no need to worry, Al."
"We wouldn't be in this mess if he hadn't have decided to come!"
"Maybe we should just ask him to leave?"
"No, I can't do that. Jasmine would be very upset."said Aladdin.
"Then...?"
"Then the only thing to do is keep an eye on him. And keep his attention elsewhere. Where it's not Fahriha."
Genie nodded. Right you are, Al."
"Now you're going to keep an eye on things."
