Stranger

When Arya awoke she was lying on flat mattrise covered up with a dark blue blanket. She was in a brick room with a hole in the wall on her left side. It had a red purple tattered cloth that was used for a curtain. Arya was the only one in the room besides a parrot and a monkey that seemed very familiar to her. She stayed on the bed with the blanket over her head watching the two animals, they looked as if they were keeping watch. The parrot was holding the curtain open and they were looking out the window. Aladdin had told them to keep watch over Arya while he, carpet and Genie went on their routine watch out for Mozenrath.

"How strange, but they seem so familiar to me," Arya thought as she continued to observe the animals paying no attention to her. She sat there for a long while just looking at the two animals keeping watch. She then decided that she would get up and go look out the window too. She got up on her knees and wrapped the blanket around her. As she got up to look out the window the monkey and parrot turned to look at her.

"Arya!" Abu replied with excitement.

"Arya you're finally awake!" Iago sqwaked.

Arya just walked to the window glancing at the two animals wondering how they knew her name but she thought it was probably because she was the young princess. Arya looked sat on the ledge and looked out the window. She saw the hussle and bussle of the city of Agrabah. People selling items, people wanting to buy those items, children playing and people on camels. There were stores lining the buildings with aunings to cover the tops. Arya liked watching people just go about their day, she had never seen so many people before. Then Arya became a little sad because she had lifted her head up to see a full view of the palace. When she saw it she was reminded of the night before how she had run away, run away from her mother and grandpa. She remembered how she almost was hurt by the three men that chased her, she remembered the panic and the fear she had as she was cornered. She thought about her mother and her grandpa and how they were doing without her there. But then she remembered the man who saved her life. Arya remembered that the man called himself Aladdin and that he was the one along with a blue creature that had saved her from those terrible men. Then when she was scared he picked her up in her arms and she felt safe. She had felt like something was back in her life that she hadn't had and she felt like she had been embraced by those arms a long time ago. Something about him was familiar but Arya couldn't put her finger on it.

"Agrabah is an amazing place isn't it," a voice said behind her. It made her jump and she turned around to see the man called Aladdin standing there just looking at her as she was looking at him. Aladdin had come back from looking for Mozenrath and decided to check up on the little princess. Genie smiled at the little girl who just looked at him with a blank expression on her face. Genie then went back in his lamp to get some well needed sleep. Aladdin walked over to Arya and sat down across from her by the window. The two continued to stare and observe eachother.

"Will someone say something? I can't take this silence!" Iago shouted breaking Aladdin's and Arya's stare to look at the parrot.

"Sorry I don't mean to stare" Aladdin apologized. Arya didn't say anything she just continued to stare out the window. Arya was very shy with strangers and she knew better than to talk to them so she would just listen to what they had to say.

Aladdin had apples in his hand and he bounced one off his elbow and Arya caught it with surprise. "I thought you might be hungry" Aladdin said munching on the apple he had.

"You look so much like her" Aladdin muttered to himself, when Arya cocked her head to one side with a puzzled look on her face he continued "I mean you look a lot like princess Jasmine, she's a good friend of mine" Aladdin answered Arya's still puzzled expression. Aladdin waited for a while to see if Arya would say something. She took the apple and looked at it then she started eating it. It tasted so good to her.

"So princess Arya…" Aladdin began but before he could go on Arya had slapped his hand. He looked up at her face and she was glaring at him. Arya hated being called a princess even though that is what she was. She liked it better when people used just her name and not call her princess.

"What you don't want to be called a princess?" Aladdin asked, a curious look now forming on his face. Arya shook her head back and forth to answer him. "Okay how about I just call you Arya then?" Aladdin asked the little girl. Arya's face then brightened up and she gave Aladdin a big smile. The reason why Arya smiled is because even though she had told people to just call her by her name, grownups wouldn't listen they would keep calling her the princess which made her angry and this man that she had just met called her by her first name.

"Well what do you know, looks like the young prin-" then Aladdin stopped himself "I mean Arya has a smile" Aladdin said with a smile on his face also. "Hey let me introduce you to everyone," Aladdin said brightly.

"This is Abu and Iago" Aladdin said pointing to the monkey and bird. Arya smiled as Abu came to her and sat on her lap. Arya thought he was so cute with his little vest and hat. She pet him on the head.

"Nice to meet you kid" Iago replied landing on Arya's shoulder. Arya started petting Iago too on the chest rubbing through his feathers, they were very soft.

"This is carpet" Aladdin said going over to the carpet which he sat on and began to fly which startle her at first but then carpet waved at her and kissed her hand and she smiled. She had never seen a magic carpet before.

"And this" Aladdin said taking the lamp and rubbing it, "is Genie" he said as Genie came out in a billow of blue smoke.

"Very nice to make your aquaintence Arya, I've heard many things about you." Genie said greeting the child with a smile. "You want to play a game of checkers with me?" Genie asked a look of pleading in his eyes. And with that Arya shook her head yes. As they were playing Arya found out that she was a very good checkers player and she was beating this new friend of hers.

"Aww man, Al you gotta help me here, I'm losing to a little girl" Genie cried acting goofy as usual. Aladdin just smiled and shook his head. Arya smiled and started to laugh. Aladdin hearing her laugh looked at her with a loving smile. Genie looked at her with a childish smile, the kind of smile a child gets when they know they can make you laugh and that is what Genie knew that this little girl found him funny. So he decided to go crazy and he was bouncing off the walls of the building and doing different impressions which made Arya laugh harder till there were tears coming from her eyes. Aladdin watched too laughing as well and they had a good time spending together.

Then Aladdin thought it would be a good idea to go on patrol to watch for Mozenrath again. "Arya, do you want to come with me and everyone we're going to go on patrol and we're going to go walk around the city. It will give you a good chance to see the city of Agrabah" Aladdin asked bending down so that he was eye level with Arya. Arya shook her head yes and with that she went with her new friends down into the city.

Meanwhile…

"Razoul you and your men must go out and search for my granddaughter," the sultan commanded. The Sultan and Jasmine were very worried about Arya because she wasn't in her room and she wasn't anywhere else in the palace so they determined Arya had somehow gotten outside the wall and was in the city somewhere.

"Yes your Highness" Razoul responded bowing his head to the Sultan. "We will not fail you" he replied. With that Razoul and his men set out in search of the little princess.
