And now, it is time for the next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!

It was late morning, early afternoon as Abu first woke up and rubbed his head, looking around. The monkey momentarily panicked as if calling for his best friend, then noticed the young man lying on the ground... next to two familiar unconscious anthropomorphic animals, and a flying carpet that was trying to get them up. Abu glared at the unconscious duck, before going over to Aladdin and shaking him awake. Aladdin groaned as he rubbed his head.

"Oh, my head..." Aladdin groaned as he rubbed his unconscious head. He remembered getting the lamp and examining it, before looking down and noticing Abu and Donald running over towards a familiar gem, with Goofy and Carpet trying to stop them, but to no avail as the duck grabbed the gem. The next thing he knew, Aladdin, Donald, Goofy and Abu got on the carpet as they tried to make an easy escape... and they managed to escape out of the cave successfully... but not before a rock spat out from the cave and clobbered the street rat on the head. He looked over towards Donald and Goofy in concern, assuming they had a couple rocks hit them on the head too.

"Abu, get the water source." Aladdin turned towards the monkey as he nodded, walking over to the pile of supplies that were no doubt left by the waiting camel that got spooked from the Cave of Wonders overreacting and ran off, leaving the supplies behind. Abu grabbed the water and handed it to the street rat, as he used it to splash Donald and Goofy awake.

Donald, not taking kindly to the rude awakening, turned to Aladdin angrily before jumping up and down and waving his arms around like a lunatic, with Goofy shaking his head. "Hey, what's the big idea!"

"What happened?" Goofy groaned.

Aladdin looked over at the two walking animals and frowned. "Oh gee, I wonder. Could it be related to the fact that a certain duck couldn't keep his hands off the treasure, even after the cave said not to touch anything but the lamp?"

Donald gulped upon realizing that he was being glared at by everyone, even the carpet was looking disappointed at the duck. Donald tried to cover up his embarrassing moment of weakness as he pointed to the monkey. "Well, what about him? He's just as much at fault! He was going to touch the treasure too! I just, uh... touched it first to avoid him taking it!"

Abu glared at Donald angrily as he screeched at him with his own language. Aladdin turned to Abu in surprise. "Abu! Where do you learn this kind of language?!"

"Come on, it doesn't matter about who got what. We got out fine, didn't we?" Goofy pointed out.

Donald turned to his friend as he opened his mouth, before pausing. Aladdin gave a small sigh as he looked down.

"Yeah, I suppose we did..." Aladdin gave a smile as he pulled out the oil lamp. "And we managed to get this..."

Donald noted the lamp as he frowned. "That's it? That's what we came all the way down there for, a dirty, old oil lamp? Why on Earth would whoever sent you want something as dirty as this?"

Aladdin paused as he looked at the lamp and examined it in every angle. "Beats me. Hey, I think there's something written here. It's a little hard to make out, but if I could-"

As Aladdin and Donald were talking, Abu and Goofy were looking up and gasping as Goofy pulled out his shield. "DONALD!"

Aladdin and Donald snapped out of their stupor for a minute as they looked up to see black Shadow Heartless and Bandit Heartless appearing, surrounding the three on both angles. Abu screeched as he hid behind the Carpet, who looked just as scared.

"Heartless!" Donald frowned as he pulled out his staff.

"Uh, what's going on?" Aladdin asked. "What are those things?"

"That's part of the reason we're here, to exterminate these guys!" Goofy said.

"Long story! Get yourself to safety! We'll take care of them!" Donald ordered the street rat.

"What? No way!" Aladdin frowned as he pulled out a scimitar from his pants and held it firmly. "If these guys are as bad as you say, then I can't just stand here!"

The street rat then charged straight at a Heartless running towards the group, with Donald yelling, "Stop, come back! You don't know how powerfully these Heartless can be!"

But, much to Donald's surprise, Aladdin used the scimitar to slash a Heartless, making it disappear into thin air, with munny and healing orbs dropping from each. Abu, noticing the amount of munny on the ground, looked eager as he tried to grab it all, ignoring the fact that scary creatures were surrounding them. Donald looked in surprise as he weakly said, "Or, uh, you can handle them on your own! Come on, Goofy!"

"Right!" Goofy said as he did a spinning motion to get rid of a group of Heartless coming this way, the move he had just done being his infamous Tornado move. Donald then started to cast as many spells as he did with the occasional "I GOT IT!" to rain lightning down on the Heartless. As Aladdin kept slashing down more Heartless, he couldn't help but note Donald and Goofy's determination to fight back against these creatures. Aladdin couldn't help but give a small laugh. He couldn't explain it, but he felt like these two were doing serious work, despite the fact that they were goof-offs. Abu just went after all the munny orbs that were dropped from these things, greedily trying to stuff them in his small vest.

More thunder spells were shouted, Goofy kept spinning around like crazy, and even Aladdin was putting in some fine work... but sadly, even with those three together, even the fighting spirit would start getting fatigued.

"Gawrsh, there's too many of them!" Goofy said as another Bandit Heartless replaced the one he defeated.

"Tell me about it!" Donald frowned as he used a Fire spell. "I'm running out of magic power here! And Sora had all my Ethers in his pocket!"

"Oh, if only Sora were here!" Goofy frowned. "He'd probably know what to do!"

Aladdin was starting to groan, looking more fatigued by the minute as he couldn't even fight anymore. Aladdin then fell down on his butt as he looked at the oil lamp. Donald and Goofy were sitting down, looking defeated as well as more and more Heartless had surrounded them. Abu and Carpet looked around, trying to find an escape... but to no avail. Without being aware of his actions, Aladdin was clinging onto the lamp, rubbing it gently with his hand as he said, "Oh, I wish those Heartless creatures were gone!"

But then... all of a sudden, the lamp started to shake. Donald, Goofy, Aladdin, Abu and Carpet watched as blue sparkles came out of the shaking lamp, Aladdin yelping in surprise. Even the Heartless stopped dancing and threatening the others menacingly to look at what was going on as a whisp of blue smoke filled the room, with a loud yell coming out as a blue creature came out, arms stretched out... and then rubbing his neck as he groaned.

"Oh, ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck!" The creature said as he looked down at the five surprised characters staring at them. "But I heard a wish, so let's get it on! Wish number one, coming right up!"

The creature then lifted his head up, as he turned it around and gave a big smile as he put it back on, before waving his hands. The next thing everyone knew, the five characters watched in amazement as each and every individual Heartless had disappeared from the area, as if they never raided the area.

"And that is wish number one accomplished! And let me tell you, what a doozy of a wish that was!" The creature grinned as he looked down towards the three surprised characters who got up. "Okay, which one of you rubbed the lamp and made the wish?"

"Uh, I, I did." Aladdin raised his hand as the creature looked down. "I'm, uh, Aladdin."

"Aladdin!" The creature grinned as he did a pose and made a microphone appear as if he were the host of a game show. "Hello, Aladdin, nice to have you on the show! Can we call you Al, or maybe just Did, or how about..." The creature then magicked up a Scottish uniform as he spoke in a Scottish accent. "Laddie! Sounds like, here, boy!" The creature then gave a whistle, then disappeared as it suddenly transformed into a large Scottish dog and panted happily. "Come on, Laddie!"

Donald looked at this in bewilderment as he turned to Goofy. "You're seeing this too, right?"

"Yep." Goofy nodded.

"Do you believe what you're seeing?" Donald asked, turning to the dog.

"Eh, I'm not sure myself." Goofy rubbed his head.

Aladdin, on the other hand, looked in bewilderment as he asked, "Uh, who are you, and what are you?"

The creature stopped as he looked at the boy in surprise. "Really? You've never heard of a Djinni in a lamp before? You know, you find the lamp, you rub it, you get wishes out of it?"

Aladdin just stared in bewilderment, though Donald and Goofy looked interested and curious, with Abu and Carpet looking up in surprise. The creature gave a sigh. "Oy, looks like I have a lot to work with... okay, here's the fundamentals of how this works..."

With that, the blue creature snapped his fingers and made a movie projector and a screen appear in thin air. Being that this was a long time ago, Aladdin didn't understand this technology, but fortunately, Donald and Goofy were able to recognize it as they looked in confusion, Goofy whispering, "Gawrsh, I thought movie projectors didn't exist until the early 20th century."

"Sh!" Donald shushed the dog before turning towards the screen as the movie played.

The movie started as on the screen, a shadowy figure appeared walking from the right of the screen and stopping at a line, like how Alfred Hitchcock presents his films, with dramatic music playing. Then the shadow turned as the shadow lit up to reveal the same blue creature with a smile.

"Hello, and welcome. I am the Djinni of the Lamp, but you are free to call me Genie." The creature said as he fluttered his eyes cutely. "Don't I look so charming?"

The creature, now known as Genie, gave a big grin as he floated up in the air. "Now, being a Genie, you can recognize me by my facial hair, my blue skin, not to mention these fashionable gold cuffs!" Genie then showed off the cuff links as he pointed to them. "Don't these look fashionable!"

The Genie coughed as the screen shifted over to a caveman examining the lamp in curiosity, before rubbing it, with the Genie continuing to talk through voiceover. "Now, as a Genie, it is my job to grant wishes, so we can do anything you want. However, you don't just get one wish, you don't just get two wishes... but you get three! And ix-nay, on the wishing for more wishes. Three is all you get. Now, sometimes, these wishes can go the same way, wish one is usually a test wish to see if I can really do my job!"

On the screen, upon the caveman seeing a muscular green djinni, the caveman started to mumble something as the djinni granted the wish, causing a slab of cooked dinosaur meat to appear. The caveman looked at the meat hungrily before comically diving down and munching on it.

"Usually, they're more simple ones, like food or wishing away a person to another land that you don't like." The Genie narrated from the screen.

Aladdin, Abu, Carpet, Donald and Goofy kept watching as the Genie said, "Yeah, it's the food wishes that made us Genies do these instruction videos."

The five nodded as they turned back to the screen as the caveman suddenly had a thought in his head as he mumbled in his cave language towards the djinni. Genie's narration continued, "Now, the second wish usually can change reality..."

The djinni nodded as he snapped his fingers, as the caveman had now transformed into a powerful leader with people worshipping him as the Genie continued narrating, "Usually involving money, power or whatever... and then things go horribly wrong..."

All of a sudden, the scene shifted in the video to reveal that the same caveman who had once been reveled as a powerful leader being tied up and getting dragged to a volcano, about to be tossed down it. The caveman growled at the djinni who was responsible as he rubbed the lamp and muttered in his own language. The djinn snapped his fingers as everything around the caveman disappeared as the lamp had vanished, never to be seen again.

"...in which case, the third and final wish would be to wish everything back to the way it was before the djinns had even came in their lives. A cruel fate, I know, but that's the way of the djinns."

The movie then ended as the screen disappeared as the Genie crossed his arms and grinned, turning towards the five characters. "Well, have I made a lot clear to you?"

"Well..." Donald paused as he put his hand on his cheek, before grinning. "You say you can do ANY wish."

"Well, not any wish." The Genie said as he transformed into a famous magazine editor in chief and imitated him. "There are a few, uh, provisos, a couple of quid pro quos."

"Like?" Aladdin asked.

"Well, rule number one, I can't kill anybody..." Genie said as he slashed his own head off and held it. "So don't ask. However, you'll be surprised at what you can live through. Rule number two, I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody else." Genie then put his own head back in, transformed into a pair of lips and kissed Aladdin on the cheek, causing the street rat to wince. "You little punim there!" Genie then fainted before turning green and imitating Peter Lorre. "And rule number three, I can't bring the people back from the dead! It's not a pretty picture! I don't like doing it!"

The genie then transformed back to normal as he said, "Other than that, you got it. Now, you already made your first wish, Aladdin, so you are free to make two more!"

"Uh... wow." Aladdin said as he paused. "I... honestly never thought about that."

Genie looked over to the street rat in surprise as he raised an eyebrow. "Really? You don't have anything? No reality changing you want to do, nothing?"

"Well..." Aladdin paused. "I will admit, I only made that wish when I didn't realize it..."

"Say..." Donald paused as he smirked. "What about us?"

Aladdin, Genie, Abu, Carpet and Goofy turned to the duck in confusion as Goofy asked, "What about us, Donald?"

"Why can't we take the lamp and make wishes?" Donald grinned. "I mean, there's three speaking people here, so technically... you get to grant nine wishes! Well, twelve once we find our friend, but-"

"Donald!" Goofy said in surprise before pulling the duck aside and whispering to his friend's ear. "Whatever happened to 'not muddlin' in other world's affairs'?"

"Meddling, and screw that rule!" Donald grinned. "We have literally a lamp with a genie that can grant wishes! We could use our wish to find the king! We could use it to end the Heartless! Heck, we could even use it to find Sora!"

"But-" Goofy started, before his eyes widened. "Gee, you really think he'll help us find him?"

"You bet!" Donald grinned before walking over to Aladdin and Genie, who had been watching the two whispering to each other in confusion. "So, how about it? Do you think we can use the lamp for our wishes?"

Genie paused as he looked over at Aladdin, who, at first, looked doubtful, but then gave a small shrug. Genie gave a big grin as he said, "Wow, nine... well, technically, eight wishes to work with!"

"And once we use one of ours, we'll be up to ten wishes!" Donald gave a grin. "Once we get our friend back, I'm sure he'll have a lot to wish for."

The Genie whistled. "Gee, I'm sure getting a workload today... I never would have thought I'd be able to do this much wishing... I usually don't get a lot of time outside the lamp."

Aladdin, Donald and Goofy looked at each other in confusion as Aladdin turned to Genie. "Why not?"

"Well..." Genie grinned... before sighing. "You see, there is one thing I always wanted... and... no, you'll think it's stupid."

"Aw, come on. We promise we won't laugh." Goofy smiled as everyone turned to the Genie.

The blue djinn looked over at the three friends... before taking a deep breath. "Well, okay. If I could make one wish for myself, it would be for my own freedom."

"Freedom?" Aladdin asked as he looked at the lamp. "You mean... you're a prisoner."

"It all comes with the genie gig. Phenomenal cosmic powers. Itty-bitty living space. It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison. I'm lucky to even be outside for a day, let alone two..." The Genie explained as Aladdin looked towards the blue djinn in sympathy.

"Well, why don't you just magic your way out of the lamp? Or leave yourself?" Goofy asked.

"It's not that simple. The only way I can get out is if I was WISHED out. And that's never going to happen..." Genie said.

Aladdin paused... before grinning. "I'll do it. I'll set you free."

The Genie looked over at Aladdin and scoffed. "Yeah, sure."

"No, I swear, I give you my word. After my friends and I finish all eleven wishes, I'll use my final wish to set you free." Aladdin said, looking serious as he offered his hand.

The Genie looked at the boy's hand, then to the smiling face. The Genie examined it as he realized, "Are you really serious?"

"I promise." Aladdin smiled, causing Carpet and Abu to give a nod and Donald and Goofy to give small smiles.

The Genie grinned as he shook Aladdin's hand. "Well, in that case..." He then transformed into a magician and said, "Let's make some magic!"

"Oh boy!" Donald grinned as he grabbed the oil lamp from Aladdin and starting rubbing it. "In that case, Genie, I wish for you to take us directly to our best friend Sora!"

Goofy gave a nod as Genie was about to snap his fingers... before pausing. "Uh, you'll have to be more specific. There's about ten people from all over the world that have the name, Sora."

Donald paused, giving a slight frown. "He's male."

"There's seven males named Sora." Genie frowned. "Could you be a little specific!"

"For the-" Donald slapped his forehead. "Spiky hair. Our Sora has spiky hair."

"We only have two spiky haired males named Sora." Genie gave a cheeky grin.

Donald's mouth dropped as he covered his head in annoyance. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IS SORA JUST A WALKING CLICHE?"

Aladdin, Goofy and Abu couldn't help but laugh as Carpet floated by. Genie could only give a smug smirk as he turned, munching on a carrot. "Ain't I a stinker?"

And with that, the ninth chapter is done! How did you guys like it? Next time, Sadira hears the news that Jasmine and Sora are captured, and goes off to save the day! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
