Disclaimer: I own only Sarah, Lisa, and the plot...I wish I could own Genie...
"C'mon, Sarah. Wake up."
I slowly opened my eyes to see Lisa and Abu leaning over me. When Lisa saw that I was awake, she smiled and then did something that surprised me.
She pulled me into a sitting position and hugged me.
After a few seconds, she pulled out of the hug and looked at me sternly.
"Don't EVER scare me like that again."
"Me scare you?" I asked incredulously. "YOU scared ME!"
After that statement left my mouth, I felt a pressure on my shoulder. I looked over to see Abu, looking at Lisa and me guiltily.
"Maybe NOW you'll learn to listen to us when we tell you no?"
He nodded his head repeatedly and hugged me. Lisa reached over and scratched his head. He then jumped off my shoulder and went over to try and wake up Aladdin. Lisa and I slowly rose to our feet and started looking around. It was really nothing but a big, black hole. I started tapping my foot.
"Impatient?"
I turned my head to see Lisa looking at me with an eyebrow raised. Deciding I didn't want to argue just now, I told the truth.
"Yeeeees." I whined.
Lisa laughed lightly. We then heard Aladdin groan as Carpet lifted him up.
"Well, you don't have to wait much longer." She whispered as she walked over to Aladdin.
I followed her and kneeled on Aladdin's right as she sat on the rock that was behind us.
"Oh, my head." He groaned as he came to.
"Pretty bad fall you took." Lisa said.
"Yeah," I added. "We were starting to worry."
Aladdin didn't reply. He just shook himself awake. He looked up at the ceiling. My eyes followed and I sighed.
"We're trapped." Aladdin said, disbelieving it.
"Yep." I said.
"Looks like it." Lisa added.
Aladdin's aura turned angry and he shook his fist at the place where the entrance once was.
"That two faced son-of-a-jackal!"
I put my hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him. It seemed to work because he took a deep breath.
"Whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp."
"Aha!"
Abu jumped in front of us and with a dramatic flair, pulled out the lamp.
"Wow…" I said to myself.
I glanced over my shoulder and gave Lisa a meaningful look. She nodded in response. The lamp that Aladdin now held was the exact replica of the lamp that sent Lisa and I here.
Aladdin laughed lightly at Abu's antics.
"Why you hairy little thief!"
Aladdin took the lamp from Abu and held it up for Lisa and me to see. I scooted closer and leaned into it.
"Looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk."
I shot a glare to Aladdin at that statement.
"Hey, I think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out."
Aladdin started rubbing the lamp and I got as close to it as I could.
Suddenly, the lamp started shaking uncontrollably and glowing. Then sparks, fireworks and smoke started leaking out of it.
A firework buzzed right next to my head. I let out a yelp and Lisa grabbed my arm and dragged me behind the rock with her. Aladdin just looked on, dumbstruck.
After a few seconds more of fireworks and smoke, we heard a scream as a figure started rising up with the smoke. It was big. It was blue. And it could only be one person.
"OI!" Genie said as he cracked his neck, coming into full materialization.
He stretched and looked down at Aladdin.
"Ten-thousand years will give ya such a crick in the neck!"
He then picked up Aladdin and hung him on an invisible peg to the wall.
"Hang on a second."
He then proceeded to take his head off and spun it around, yelling as he did so.
Lisa let go of me and she and Carpet got up and pulled Aladdin down. I inched got out from behind the rock and cautiously inched closer to Genie. I registered in the back of my mind Aladdin being placed on my left with Lisa on his right.
Remember all those times I've stated that seeing something through the TV screen didn't compare any to seeing it in real life?...Well, FORGET 'EM! Genie took the cake. I mean, through the screen you see him as this big, goofy, lovable, blue character. That's how I saw him, anyway. It was his personality that made me attracted to him.
But here, looking at him for real…
He was HOT.
What the animation showed as pudginess on his frame was in reality muscle. That's not to say he looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. But his thick, light blue skin was most defiantly spread over a muscled, toned body. His face was round and pleasant, giving away the fact that he loved to laugh and his chin was lightly covered with a black goatee. His ears were pointed and he had a nice top-knot of black hair on his head.
I could feel my cheeks start to go pink.
"Whoa! Does it feel good to be outta there!" he exclaimed, bringing me at least a little bit closer to earth.
He then pulled his tail out of his lamp and used it as a microphone.
"Nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, where ya from? What's your name?" Genie asked as he put the microphone up to Aladdin.
Aladdin unsurely answered him.
"Uh, Al--uh--Aladdin."
"Aladdin!" Genie exclaimed as a large neon sign, with Aladdin's name on it, appeared above his head.
"Hello, Aladdin. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you 'Al?' Or maybe just 'Din?' Or how bout 'Laddi?'"
At this point a Scottish hat and scarf appeared on Genie's person, along with the appropriate red hair beard.
"Sounds like 'Here, boy!" Genie whistled and then turned into a dog. "C'mon, Laddi!' hehehe!"
I found myself smiling at the familiar joke. Aladdin shook his head.
"I must have hit my head harder than I thought."
"Nope, cause we see it too." Lisa interjected.
"You smoke? Mind if I do?" Genie asked right before poof-ing back to his original form, laughing like a maniac.
The 'poof' obviously scared Abu, because he screeched wildly and climbed up onto my shoulders, holding onto me for dear life. As he screeched I turned my head to look at him on my back. I heard Genie saying in the background...
"Oh, sorry Cheetah--hope I didn't singe the fur!"
...and I gave Abu a 'what the hell do you want me to do?' look. Then, it stopped. The next line didn't come just yet.
I turned around, to see why Genie wasn't greeting Carpet, and saw that he was staring intently at me.
He had a look of shock, confusion, and…something else I couldn't place, on his face as he stared at me. Not liking the awkward silence, I spoke.
"Eh…Hi?"
This seemed to snap him out of it, because he came back to his usual energetic self.
"And what is this lovely lady's name?" he asked no one and everyone in the room.
"I-I-I'm s-s-s-Sarah." I stuttered out.
"Well, SSSSarah," said Genie, impersonating a snake with his voice. "Just what are you doing here with my new master?"
"WE'RE his family." Lisa piped up.
Genie's head whipped to her and he let out a dramatic sigh.
"Oooohhhh this is so beautiful! One big happy family together!"
He then spotted Carpet.
"Yo, Rugman! Haven't seen you in a few millennia! Slap me some tassel! Yow! Yah-yo-yo!" he said as he did a hand shake with Carpet. Genie then took a closer look at Aladdin.
"Say…You're a lot smaller than my last master! Either that or I'm getting bigger…"
Genie pushed out his stomach to make it look like a beer gut.
"Look at me from the side. Do I look different to you?"
Aladdin interjected.
"Wait a minute! I'm--your master?"
"That's right! He can be taught!!"
Genie slapped a diploma in Aladdin's hand and a mortarboard on his head. Lisa looked on with a 'what the hell?' look and I tried to control myself from laughing. Genie continued.
"What would you wish of me, (he changed into Arnold Schwarzenegger) the ever impressive, (he locked himself inside a cube) the long contained, (he created a dummy in an imitation of a ventriloquist) often imitated, (he tossed the dummy aside) but never duplicated…"
My eye's widened as lots of Genie's appeared over the room.
"Geeeenie of the LAAAMP!"
He then shrunk slightly in an impression of Ed Sullivan.
"Right here straight from the lamp, right here for your wish fulfillment. Thank youuuuu!"
I couldn't hold it back. I let out a little giggle.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wish fulfillment?" Aladdin asked, standing.
Lisa and I both stood up with him.
"Three wishes to be exact. And ex-nay on the wishing for more wishes. That's it (He turned into a slot machine. The arm pulled down and three Genie's appeared in the windows.) Three. (The three Genie's came out of the slot dressed as caballeros.) Uno, dos, tres. (He changed into a black and white Groucho Marx.) No substitutions, exchanges or refunds."
As he finished the word 'refunds' a blue duck came down right in front of my face with a sign that said 'refunds', thus making me jump. Aladdin leaned over to Lisa.
"Now I know I'm dreaming."
"Master!" Genie exclaimed as the music started.
"I don't think you quite realize what you've got here! So why don't you just ruminate, (Genie then turned neon blue) whilst I illuminate the possibilities."
He lifted us up magically and put us back on the rock and then plopped down in front of us.
"Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherazadie had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeve
You got a brand of magic never fails!"
As Genie sang these lines he created evil looking thieves that surrounded us. We got close together until Genie popped out of Aladdin's vest and beat them up for us. Then everything changed into a boxing scene. Aladdin as a boxer, Genie as a coach, and Lisa and I as card girls. I saw Lisa start to twitch.
"You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp"
After those lines, we were back in our normal clothes. Genie started to do some crazy moves.
"You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I'll say:
Mister Aladdin, sir
What will your pleasure be?"
As this happened we were set at a restaurant table and Genie turned into a French waiter.
"Let me take your order
Jot it down"
He poofed down to us and put his arms around Aladdin and me.
"You ain't never had a friend like me
Ha ha ha!
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'!"
Genie appeared as a chicken in the plate for a moment before getting back to full size and leaning into us.
"C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me"
At this point Lisa pulled me away from the scene, giving off the impression that 'we should just watch' as Genie turned into a barber shop.
"Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service"
Then Aladdin's chair turned into a throne and treasure appeared around him with Abu and Carpet fanning him.
"You're the boss
The King, the Shah
Say what you wish
It's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?"
After the Baklava cleared away, Aladdin was left balancing on tall columns.
"Have some on column 'A'
Try all of column 'B'"
Aladdin fell off the last column and Genie caught him on a pillow.
"I'm in the mood to help you dude
You ain't never had a friend like me"
As he said the last line, a smaller Genie came out of the larger Genie's mouth dressed in a white tux right in front of Lisa and me. Instead of dancing by himself, as he had done in the movie though, Genie offered me his hand.
I took it hesitantly and he started dancing with me. Pretty soon, the two hands came up. So…I ended up dancing with Genie, Genie's left hand, and his right hand. Lisa stood to the side, shaking her head at me. But I really didn't care. I was living out my dream.
When the hands surrounded us, Genie spun me away from him and into Lisa's arms. She caught me and then quickly stood me up right.
"Have fun?" she whispered to me.
I could barely hear her over the roar of music in my ear as Genie started doing some more cool tricks with Aladdin.
"Can your friends do this?
Do your friends do that?
Do your friends pull this out their little hat?
Can your friends go 'poof'!?
Well, looky here!"
At this point, three harem girls appeared. Lisa and I both rolled our eyes at our brother.
"Can your friends go 'Abracadabra', 'let 'er rip'
And then make the sucker disappear?"
The girl's then disappeared and Genie continued his tricks.
He like's to show off, doesn't he? I asked myself.
"So don't you sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your chare d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what-cha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so-and oh
Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob"
At this point, Genie started shooting magic in different directions. First to the left. Dancing Elephant's appeared.
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend"
Then to the right. Camels started belly dancing.
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend"
Then, things just randomly appeared around us.
"You ain't never..."
I shrugged at Lisa and offered my hand.
"...Had a..."
"Are you on something?"
"Friend"
I gave her a puppy dog pout.
"Like"
She finally gave in and took my hand, smiling.
"Me!"
Lisa and I started to do the Charleston with each other, greatly enjoying the music and lights and…well…Life in general.
That is…until Genie started swirling everything away. Then it was just a world of multicolor.
"You ain't never had a friend like me! Hah!"
We were suddenly slammed down on the rock as if we had never budged.
Genie leaned on his elbow above us, smirking smugly, an 'applause' sign flashing behind him.
I looked at Lisa and she looked at me.
At the same time we shrugged and started clapping.
I love this movie!
