(A/N): Hey guys! Sorry it's taken so long to update. I hope you all had a great holiday! Anyway, this chapter is kinda short, but I hope it'll tide you over until the next one. Have fun reading!
To IrishBeerIsGood: I am aware that you are not afraid of Sweeney. However, if I snuck up behind you, all ninja like, and whispered that in you ear in my demonic voice, I think you would jump. Thanks for editing!
To Invader Nyx: I'm glad you thought it was funny. I love making people laugh. Yeah, I can't wait to write my Genie/OC-ness. Genie is such an awesome character and I can't believe there are so few stories with him. Anyway, enjoy the next chapter!
To NightmareBeforeChristmasFreak: I'm glad you like my story. Yeah, it was kinda hard to get updates up during the season. But, it's over now and I can get pumping on this story. And you need to get cracking on your story too! Keep reviewing!

Aladdin, Abu, Lisa, and I were all on our way home.
'Okay…Now what? Is he going to sing? Is there going to be music?' I thought.
Just then, I heard the music and it started.
"Riff raff…
street rat…
I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer."
'Guess that answers my question.'
After that one verse, Aladdin seemed to stop. Lisa and I really didn't know what to do, so we stayed quiet.
When we got home, he started again.
"Would they see a poor boy?
No sir-ee."
Abu hopped up onto his bed and slid off his hat. Lisa and I just stood by and watched as Aladdin tucked him in and leaned out our window, looking at the beauty of the palace.
"They'd find out...
there's so much more...
to me."
Aladdin took in a breath and told us:
"Someday Abu, Lisa, Sarah…things are going to change. We'll be rich…live in a palace…and never have any troubles at all."
I stood up and laid my hand on Aladdin's shoulder.
"We know Aladdin. We know you want a better life for us. Just try not to stress, okay?"
"Yeah," Lisa added, coming on his other side. "You gotta keep up the business, remember? How can you run from the guards if you're stressing over something as trivial as our future?"
Aladdin let out a small smile and nodded.
"Well, g'night bro."
"Goodnight Sarah."
"Yeah, night Aladdin."
"Goodnight Lisa."
Having said our goodnights, Lisa and I walked behind the make-shift curtain we had made to separate our room from Aladdin's.
It was nothing special, just a rope with a blanket hung over it, but it did its job.
I walked over to my 'bed' and took off my head scarf and started running a comb that was missing quite a few teeth through my hair.
It was weird how I worked my hair. I could never stand it to be longer than my shoulders. But I had no money to go to the barbers….
…Did they even have barbers in Agrabah?...
Anyway, I digress. Whenever my hair got to long for my liking, I simply pulled out a dagger that Aladdin had...ahem…found for me and cut it off myself; giving it a very jagged (what people from my time might call punk-ish) look.
As far as the dagger is concerned, Aladdin told me that it was an essential. Street rats or not, Lisa and I were 'exotic' looking women, who men might wish to take advantage of.
As I sat brushing my hair, I watched Lisa as she took off her head scarf and sat in her place.
She never brushed her hair, and was therefore acquiring dread-locks. Some people can't pull off the look, but I think she did it very well.
Lisa pulled out a stick from in the corner and started tracing designs in the dust on the floor. If there was one thing Lisa missed about our time, it was her art.
I watched her sadly and, knowing better than to disturb her, laid down and tried to get to sleep.
After all, in a couple of days, I could be meeting Genie…
If I was capable of such things, I would let out a fangirl squeal.
