Jasmine wanted to go and shake Veronica.

"Well, we did."

Veronica opened her fan, and began to fan herself with it.

"I grew up here, you know. After a while, left, and...now look at me!"she said. "And just look at him! Who'd have though! Wouldn't you say?"

"Why, you...!"

"Yes?"

Jasmine walked out of the room without another word.

"Or I'll..."she said to herself, through gritted teeth. "And he didn't say a single word! Ever!"

"How come you never said anything that you know that...that...woman!"Jasmine exclaimed, as soon as she found Aladdin, in his study.

"What!"

"She just told me everything! You, on the other hand, never as much as hinted that you knew each other! And I'm playing the idiot, smiling, and being polite!"

She grabbed a cushion from the divan, and began to hit Aladdin with it.

"Uh, Jasmine, you don't understand!"

"I understand better than you think! And I want her out of here now!"

"But we can't...I mean, they'll be offended, and..."

"I don't care! I want her out of here! Or else!"

Aladdin gulped.

"She'll leave as soon as possible. I promise. Besides, I mean, it's not like she'll be any trouble."

"You seem to know her that well!"exclaimed Jasmine putting her hands on her hips.

"Well, just common sense, I mean, it's not like she'll very picky. And she's lived her before, so, she won't be surprised, or anything."

Jasmine threw the pillow and it hit a painting on the wall that crashed down. Aladdin jumped out of the way before it hit him.

"Everything will be all right, Jasmine. I promise. I'll try to speed things up. Trust me."

Jasmine turned her back on him and walked out the door.

Genie was standing right outside the door.

"Can't a parrot get some sleep around here!"exclaimed Iago.

"Oh, boy!"said Aladdin. "Genie, why don't you go and keep an eye on Jasmine. I hope she won't try to argue with Veronica, or something. I'm sure Veronica wouldn't do anything to hurt her. When she's herself, but she's...a little unpredictable. And...well, I'll try to hurry things up. Hopefully the Count won't want to stay here for long afterwards."
