Chapter 2
The next day, we decided to head to the market early on. The sun was rising high above the market place. We saw all types of food. Today they had fish, sugar dates, melons, figs, and bread. We were hungry for a melon today, so we started thinking of a plan. "What if you distract the sales man?" I asked Aladdin, honestly that was our normal strategy. "No, I think you should distract him as I get a melon." Answered Aladdin, he always got the finally say. Abu wanted to be part of the action, so he started complaining and pointing to himself. "But what about Abu?" I asked after noticing Abu going crazy over there. "Well…. May be he could steal the melon, and i'll be plan B if it doesn't work." Reply Aladdin. Abu was nodding his head up and down in approval. "Alright, let's do it." I said as Aladdin and Abu jumped on to the awning over the stand. I started walking up to the merchant and asked how much a melon was. Abu leaned down and grabbed one. As the merchant frantically tired to find the best melon and an asking price, I slipped away to meet Aladdin and Abu on the awning. "Nice work." Said Aladdin. Abu started bowing. "Definitely one of our better steals." I replied. We all spilt it, with Abu getting the most, like normal. "Look at the palace, it so beautiful" Aladdin said longingly while finishing his third of the melon. "The palace is gorgeous" I said, oh how I longed to find a way to get Aladdin a palace. Aladdin dreamed of going inside the palace, trust me, he tells me all the time. Aladdin hopped off the awning with Abu and I following . "Abu" I whispered as aladdin started walk off to find something to do. "I'm going in the palace, I want Aladdin's dream to come true, cover for me." Abu shook his head, but I had already started off on my quest to make Aladdin's dream come true. While I approached the palace, a merchant was entering the palace gate, it was my opportunity to get in. The palace was huge, gold, and gorgeous. All the rooms had high ceilings, and where very open. First I found my way to, I think, the throne room. It was big with stairs at the back. It had long flags hanging from the ceiling. The throne was large, with gold accents and a Rudy in the middle of the throne back. Suddenly an alarm went off, guards started chasing me. I tried very room I could to escape. Finally I found a door that was unlocked. I went in, it was a gorgeous little blue. "Excuse me?" I heard from behind me, it sounds like a young lady. I turned around to see a beautiful lady with long silky black hair, louses lashes, and a gorgeous light blue top with haram pants. "I-I-I'm sorry" I said, I was staring with awe, she was beautiful. "Who are you?" She asked. She was very calm and very controlled. "I'm Aladdia." I said, I was shocked she didn't call the guards on me, most people would. "You're not supposed to be in the palace." She said. I was sure after that comment she would call the guards, Instead she curtsied and introduces herself. "Jasmine, princess of Agrahbah." She said straightening her stand. "Princess?" I said as I started to bow. "No need." She said, grabbing my forearm and pulling me up. "Why didn't you fall the guards?" I asked, it was a question on my mind. "Why, I normally don't get to see people, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said with a giant smile on her face. "Where are you from?" She asked, noticing my clothes. I didn't know what to see, if I told her I was a "street rat", as the guards say, she would get scared. "I'm from the market place." I said with a sign, that could of gone terribly wrong. "Tell me about your family." She said as she started to sit down on a giant blue chair, and motioned me to join her. "Well, my parents died when I was young," I started "But another family took me in. Sadly, the host parents died also, leaving me and Aladdin on our own…."
"Aladdin?" She asked. " who's that?"
"Well, he's kinda my brother, his older, quiet handsome, and very strong." I answered, I know if she wanted to see him, Aladdin could see the palace. My quest was doing quiet well, I must admit. "Tell me more." Jasmine said. I started off again telling her all I could about Aladdin.
Meanwhile... Aladdin and Abu were traveling though the market, when Aladdin finally realized I wasn't there. "Where's Aladdia?" Aladdin asked look at Abu. Abu just stood there hoping he wouldn't have to tell. "Aladdia?" Aladdin yelled, "Aladdia? Where could she be?" Some merchants walked up to Aladdin asking if he needed help. "I can't find Aladdia, you know my sister." He said starting to panic. "To bad."
One merchant said, "one street rat lost, the better." All the merchants apparently thought that was funny. The merchants left providing little help. "Abu!" Aladdin said angrily with his hands on his hips, tapping his foot. "where is she?"
Abu hesitated, he didn't want to tell, but he pointed to the palace with a sign. "She could be killed." Aladdin said part angrily, and part scared. He started to run toward the palace, thinking up a way in.
"How come you and Aladdin are so close? Do you to ever fight?" Jasmine asked. She seemed quiet into this Aladdin. "Well, Aladdin and I know we can't live without each other, we tried to once though." I said, memories were filling into my head.
"How?" Jasmine asked, "What happened?"
"Well, I decided I could live on my own, and started across the Sahara, I was maybe 9, so I was young and quiet dumb, now I'm old and dumb." I started laughing more like giggling, jasmine joined me. That, honestly, was probably one of the funniest things I've said in a while. "anyway, Half way through, I fainted and woke up in a camp. All I wanted then was to be with Aladdin again. I sent a message to him explaining what happened and that I was coming back. To keep our hopes up, we'd sing a song, as soon as the moon was over our heads. It would be hard to keep my hopes of returning to him if we didn't. I most likely wouldn't even be here if we didn't keep our hopes up."
I explained, then all the school days when I just longed to be on the streets of Agrahbah filled my head.
"Wow, I've never even been out side the palace walls." Jasmine said, she looked really sad, almost devastated.
"Come with me to Agrabab." I said, "You would be safe, Aladdin and I would help you."
"But what if this Aladdin doesn't want to help?" She asked, I could see she wanted to leave the palace but was worried.
"He will" I said reassuringly, "Trust me"
Suddenly we heard a knock on the door.
"Hide" Jasmine said as she pushed me into a giant room with a tub type thingy. That room was a dark blue with gorgeous curtains draping from the ceiling.
Jasmine opened the door. "Excuse me," a manly voice said "Have you seen me friend Aladdia?"
"Aladdin" I screamed as a ran out of the room and right up into his arms. We hugged for a while, even minutes away from each other felt like an eternity.
He lowered me down and stood me on the floor with a tight almost painful grip on my arms. "Don't ever, ever, ever leave again, do you understand!?" Aladdin scolded, as he slowly let go of his grip. Jasmine made a slight cough. "Oh," I said leaving Aladdin's grip as I started to intrude Jasmine. "Aladdin this is Jasmine, Jasmine this is Aladdin" I said with a wink as I looked at jasmine. "Pleased to meet you." Jasmine said as she slowly curtsy. "You too" Aladdin said "wait, aren't you Princess Jasmine?" Aladdin asked curiously. "Yes, I am" Jasmine said. "Wow" Aladdin said looking star struck, he had never liked a girl before, I knew that, he looked at Jasmine longingly. I was the only girl he had ever thought was beautiful, but his eyes told me that Jasmine was the prettiest being he had ever seen. They stared at each other for quite a while before Jasmine quickly turned away to brake the stare. I know, from watching girls in the market, that when a girl acts like that, she obviously has a crush. I so longed for Jasmine to invite Aladdin back into the palace. There was a moment of awkward silence, so I nudged Aladdin on his shoulder. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Jasmine." He softly said, there was a tone of fear in his voice. He looked out his shoes.
"So Aladdin," Jasmine said, "Is it true Aladdia ran away one time?"
"Yess" Aladdin said. He said it part laughing and part confused. He looked at me with wonder and concern in his eyes. It was like he was asking what all I told Jasmine. I just winked and let Jasmine continue her question.
"Sooo, What song did you sing?" Jasmine asked.
"We would sing the song: Desert Moon, it was true for us, and kept our spirits high." Aladdin answered, he stared dazing of, almost like he was lost in Jasmine's eyes.
