"Maybe it was all a dream?"said Aladdin.

"You were saying something, Kid?"asked Iago.

"Huh?"

"You were muttering to yourself."

Genie put down the spoon with which he was feeding Abu, and ran to Aladdin, and put a thermometer in his mouth.

Aladdin spat it out.

"Genie, I'm fine!"

Genie was now taking his pulse.

"I said I'm fine, Genie."

"You seem pretty upset, Al."

"Well, I'm worried. We'll be having guests."he said.

"Well,"said Iago, flying to Aladdin's shoulder. "In that case, you really need me. Who else around here would know so much about how to treat guests here?"

Aladdin shooed Iago off his shoulder.

"We'll be fine, Iago."

"But, Kid,"

"I'm glad you want to help, but I'm sure it'll be fine."he said.

Aladdin walked away.

"Hmm, that Kid really could use some of your attention."he said to Genie.

Genie scratched his head.

"Maybe you're right, Iago."

Iago nodded.

When Genie was gone, he rubbed his hands together, and lied down.

He sighed.

"As soon as the Genie's attention is focused on the Kid, I won't have to worry about those stupid classes any longer!"

Genie looked over Aladdin's shoulder.

"What is it, Genie?"

Genie picked up the paper.

"I think you're working too hard, Al."he said.

Aladdin pulled it away from Genie.

"Genie, I'm fine. I was just thinking, that's all."

Aladdin took his papers and went out of the room. Genie turned into a little flying insect and followed him.

"Well, we have something to look forward to!"he said to Jasmine as he walked in.

She looked up.

"Really?"she asked, in a bored voice.

"We have the Count of Gevara coming from Spain."he said. "He said he wanted to work something out. They'll be here in a few days."

Jasmine's eyes lit up.

"I've never met anyone from so far away before."she said, enthusiastically.

"Neither have I."said Aladdin. "I'm a little nervous."

Jasmine giggled. She got up.

"Then we'd better start getting ready!"she said.

"I think Genie has probably already seen to that. Iago, too."

Jasmine shook her head.

"No. We'll just have to cancel that, and start over."she said. "I'll make the preparations."

"It's...nice."said Aladdin, as he watched Razoul, who was grumbling, and wearing a new uniform that Genie had designed for him,under Iago's supervision.

Genie stood next to Al.

"Bound to make a presentable appearance."said Iago, who stood on Genie's shoulder.

Abu laughed.

"Now,"said Iago. "You just leave all the talking-"

Genie had grabbed him, and thrown him in the trash.

"Forget the parrot."he said.

"Uh, thanks, Genie."said Jasmine. "I really don't want Iago hogging the spotlight."she said, as she took Aladdin's arm, and stood next to him.

Razoul walked in, and after him, came two people. Aladdin gasped, and didn't hear Razoul's introduction. The woman holding the man's arm, looked at Aladdin in surprise, and smiled.
