((I own none of these original Disney characters from the three movies or Saturday morning cartoon series of Aladdin. There will be no crossovers, but this will be a musical story. And some lyrics will be changed to fit the story and I will only be doing a my favorite episodes from the series and some things will stay the same others will change. Also a few headcanons will be thrown in as well as known scrapped Disney ideas for the series. I hope you enjoy this retelling ^^))
Back on a rooftop in Agrabah, where a young woman named Jasmine rushes up to the edge, carrying a loaf of bread. She almost drops it over the edge. "Stop, thief! I'll have your hands for a trophy, street rat!" Three royal guards close in on her as they draw their swords. Jasmine looks back, then down, then at the bread. "All this for a loaf of bread?" She asks herself.
She jumps off, landing on two ropes strung between buildings, with drying clothes on them. She skies down them, collecting bits and pieces of clothing on her as she goes. Finally, she's nearing the end of the rope, at a window, when a woman reaches out and slams the shutters closed. Jasmine slams into the shutters and falls to the street, her fall being broken by numerous awnings and the pile of clothes around her. She pulls off the top layer of clothes and is about to enjoy her bread when. . .
"There she is!" A shout from a guard interrupted her. "You won't get away so easy!" They shout from the rooftop. "You think that was easy?" Jasmine says aloud. She then looks at three women, laughing at her. Then gasps hearing the guards a little down the street. "You two, over that way, and you, come with me. We'll find her." The head guard says as he sends two guards away.
Jasmine pulls a sheet over her and wraps herself as a disguise. She rushes over to the women. "Morning, ladies." Jasmine says as she gives a dashing smile. "Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we Jasmine?" One of the ladies says to the young street rat. Jasmine scoffs "Trouble? No way. You're only in trouble if you get caught-" A hand grabs Jasmine's shoulder and yanks her back. It's the head guard. "Got cha'. . ." Jasmine's disguise falls off. "I'm in trouble!"
"...and this time-" A roar sound from a tiger cub, then the guard's turban is pushed down over his eyes. Rajah dances on the guard's head, smiling. "Perfect timing, Rajah! As usual" Rajah waves then hops down to Jasmine's feet. "Come on, let's get outta here!" She says to her friend tiger cub.
"Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline. One swing ahead of the sword. I steal only what I can't afford. That's everything!" Jasmine battles a guard wielding a sword. He dodges a couple of swings, then pulls down the guard's pants. Rajah raspberries the guard, then dodges an attack. The guard swings at Jasmine, but destroys a barrel of fish. As Jasmine runs off, the guards pulls a fish over his lower body as a pair of pants.
"One jump ahead of the lawmen. That's all, and that's no joke. These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!" Jasmine and Rajah scamper up a pile of barrels, then kick one down on top of another guard. "Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!" The guards sing one or two at a time at her. "Just a little snack, guys!" Jasmine holds onto a pole on top a platform and hangs off it a bit.
Jasmine scampers on the top theplatform The guards shake the platform back and fro trying to knock him off. "Rip him open, take it back guys!" "I can take a hint, gotta face the facts You're my only friend, Rajah!" "Who?!" A harem of men sing.
Jasmine jumps off the platform to certain death, only to grab Rajah's paws like an acrobat. The pair swing into a harem. "Oh, it's sad Jasmine's hit the bottom. She's become a one-woman rise in crime" Rajah finds a plate full of fruit and picks up an apple his mouth. "I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em!" The lady in charge sings then swings her broom at Jasmine whom dodges with ease. "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat. Tell you all about it when I got the time!"
Jasmine and Rajah exit through a gentle push out a window then bounce off an awning. A Muscle-Man flexing to a crowd. The guards rush past. Unknown to them Jasmine and Rajah behind the Muscle-Man, matching his moves, until they make a mistake and are discovered. "One jump ahead of the slowpokes. One skip ahead of my doom. Next time gonna use a nom de plume. One jump ahead of the hitmen. One hit ahead of the flock. I think I'll take a stroll around the block."
A chase sequence, in which Jasmine and Rajah, pursued by the guards, race through a flock of sheep, hurdle a man sleeping on a bed of nails. Rajah plays around with jewels until a shopkeeper discovers him. "Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!" People in the crowd sing as Jasmine picks up Rajah then places him on her head. "Let's not be too hasty."Jasmine is surrounded by guards in front of a door. The door opens and a large, ugly man comes out. An yes, even he sings. "Still I think he's rather tasty." Jasmine tumbles away, then puts her arm around some of the guards, acting like they're all chums. "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along!" The guards grow angry then yell "WRONG!"
They all jump into a pile and fight. When they stop, Jasmine and Rajah are gone. They are sneaking away in barrels. The two are spotted as a guard shouts. "Get 'em!" They toss off the barrels then run and jump across a flaming pit, followed by guards who hop up and down, screaming in pain as they cross the rocks. Jasmine and Rajah are once again surrounded, with guards coming from left and right. She jumps up and climbs a robe trick being done on the street, as the guards all crash into each other.
"One jump ahead of the hoofbeats!" "Vandal!" "One hop ahead of the hump!" "Street rat!" "One trick ahead of disaster" "Scoundrel!" "They're quick-but I'm much faster" "Take that!" Jasmine and the guards sing back and forth as she dodges them with her tiger.
The guards chase Jasmine up a staircase into a room. She grabs a carpet and jumps out the window. "Here goes, better throw my hand in Wish me happy landin' All I gotta do is jump!" The street rat sing then somehow glides for a bit on the carpet. The guards were not as fortunate.
The guards follow her out the window, but they go straight down to the street, and land in a pile with the sign "Crazy Hakim's Discount Fertilizer." Jasmine uses the carpet as a parachute to land safely and out of danger. Jasmine and Rajah high-five each other.
"And now, esteemed effendi, we feast! All right!" Jasmine breaks the bread in two and gives half to Rajah, who begins to eat. But Jasmine looks over and sees two young children rummaging through the garbage for food. The girl sees him, then drops her find and tries to hide as her brother tries to hide. Jasmine looks at them, then the bread, then at Rajah.
Rajah looks at Jasmine and nods. Jasmine gets up and walks over to the children. The girl pulls her brother back. "Here, go on-take it." The children giggle with delight. Rajah picks up his part of his bread in his mouth. He walks over to the children and offers his bread to them. In delight, they pet him on the head.
Rajah purrs happily. He then sees Jasmine walking into the daylight, where there is a parade going on. Jasmine peers over the shoulders of people. She sees princess Achmedina riding on a horse. 'On his way to the palace, I suppose." "Another suitor for the prince." Two bystanders say to each other.
Jasmine is startled as the two children come running out from the alley. The boy runs out in front of the princess's horse, startling it. She gasps then gets angry "Out of my way, you filthy brats!" The princess brings up her whip to attack the children, but Jasmine jumps in front of them and catches the whip. It stung her arm but as long as the kids were ok, it was nothing. The kids run back into the crowd. "Hey! if I were as rich as you" She yanks the whip away from the royal then roughly tosses it back. "I could afford some manners" The princess scoffs."Oh-I teach you some manners!"
The princess kicks Jasmine into a mud puddle. The crowd laugh at her. Jasmine grunts then gives her a dirty look followed by a smirk. "Look at that, Rajah. It's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends!" The princess stops and turns back to Jasmine."You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you." The more she goes on Jasmine gets heated in anger.
Jasmine rushes the Princess, but the doors to the castle slam shut in her face. "I'm not worthless. And I don't have fleas. Come on, Rajah. Let's go home." She walks away and towards her home."Riff-Raff, street rat. I don't buy that." The street rat sings gently with a sad tone. Jasmine makes the climb to her home with the view. "If only they'd look closer." Shen enters her home and looks around at it. "Would they see a poor girl? No siree." Then she tucks in Rajah for the night. "They'd find out, there's so much more to me." She pulls back a curtain to reveal the beautiful palace.
"Someday, Rajah, things are gonna change. We'll be rich, live in a palace, and never have any problems at all."
