Everyone sat, while Aladdin was pacing up and down. Up and down.
"This is really starting to worry me!"he exclaimed.
"I guess so. It's been two days. Or maybe she's coming down with a cold."
"A cold?"
"I don't think so."said Jasmine.
"Genie, what do you think?"asked Aladdin.
Genie checked his notes.
"Hmm, endless list of herbs have failed to perk her up...not coming out of her room...that points to some compulsive disorder."he said, taking off his spectacles.
"Some what?"
"She's obsessed. Over something."
"What could that be."
"She struck me as...afraid, I think."said Iago.
"Good point."said Genie.
"That's it!"exclaimed Aladdin. "Someone must have put some idea into her head, and that's what happened! Only who and what?"
"Who would do something like that?"asked Jasmine.
"I don't know, but whoever it was, we gotta find out."
"Perhaps some therapy."said Genie.
"Whatever it takes, Genie, just do it!"
Genie nodded, and he left.
"Maybe I should talk to her first."said Aladdin.
Genie stopped in his tracks.
"Good thinking, Al."
"This is starting to worry me, too."said Jasmine.
Aladdin walked into the room.
"Fahriha?"
She startled. Maybe Genie was right. Usually when he would come, she would always be glad to see him. Lately...she had tried to stay away from him, and would keep her head down, as if to avoid looking at him.
"What is the matter?"he asked.
Fahriha didn't look up.
"Um...I'm fine."she said.
"You haven't been acting like yourself."he said.
She didn't know what to say.
"Is there something you're afraid of? Something someone told you...?"he asked.
She shook her head.
"No? Then what's wrong?"
"Nothing."she said.
"Tell me."
She shook her head.
When he got back, obviously, he hadn't been able to get much out of her.
"No, she just won't speak!"he said.
"I say it was that prince!"said Iago.
"Huh?"
"Well, she was fine until that one night that she just ran out and...awk."
"Ran out? Ran out of where?"asked Jasmine.
"Awk."
"What are you talking about, Iago?"demanded Aladdin.
Iago obviously wasn't going to say more.
"Iago you better talk, or else!"
Iago turned away.
"Iago!"
Genie grabbed Iago, and hooked him up to a machine.
"We'll get the truth out of the bird."he said.
"This isn't a game, Genie! Iago!"
"She ran out of the selamlik."said Iago.
"What was my daughter doing in the selamlik?"demanded Aladdin.
"Um..."
Aladdin grabbed Iago.
"Kid, you're choking me!"
"I asked you a question!"
"She went to see the prince, since there was no other way."
"But..how did she know her way?"
"I showed her."said Iago.
