Guessing Game
L.A.: Sorry for taking so long to update. Classes started again so I will be updating sporadically. Hope you enjoy!
The carpet ride was long and hot. Rin's face was tingling so she was pretty sure it was burnt. The others weren't fairing well either. Goofy was passed out and Donald was a blood red.
Suddenly the sky darkened as they approached a sand dune.
"What's going on over there?" Sora asked causing the others to stir.
The sand dune suddenly turned into a tiger face with glowing eyes.
"That can't be good," Rin said.
Carpet landed in front of it. They hopped off and approached the sand dune.
"I wonder why it brought us here," Goofy said.
They turned the corner and saw a black haired tan skinned boy and a monkey trapped in quicksand with heartless surrounding them.
"That must be why," Sora said as they pulled out their weapons.
They quickly took care of the heartless. Rin and Sora each reached a hand toward the boy.
"Here," Rin said. "Take our hands and we'll help you out."
The boy's eyes widened as he pointed behind them. "Look out!"
They turned around to see more heartless materialize in front of them.
"Gawrsh, not again," Goofy said.
Rin and Sora quickly helped the boy out of the quicksand before turning to help Goofy and Donald.
The boy stopped them. "Leave it to me." He pulled out a golden oil lamp and rubbed it. "Genie, get rid of these guys!"
A giant blue man materialized in a puff of smoke. "Wish Number One coming right up" he said as he rubbed his hands together. He turned into a tornado and sent the heartless sailing away.
Genie turned back and saw Rin, Donald, Goofy and Sora staring at him in amazement.
"What's wrong with you?" Genie said with a grin. "Never seen a Genie before?"
As Carpet took them back to Agrabah Sora and the boy, Aladdin, told each other their stories. Aladdin had apparently found both the magic carpet and the lamp in the cave. The Genie could grant 3 wishes. As soon as Aladdin heard Jasmine was in danger, he put the wishes on hold.
Genie floated beside the carpet. He took a deep breath and grinned. "Ah, fresh air. The great outdoors. So wonderful."
"I guess you don't get out much, huh?" Sora asked.
"Comes with the job. Phenomenal cosmic powers. Itty-bitty living space," Genie said. "It's always three wishes then back to my portable prison." He sighed. "I'm lucky to see the light of day every centry or two."
They were silent for a moment.
"Say Genie," Aladdin said. "What if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp? What do you think?"
"You'd really do that?" Genie asked, hope in his voice.
Aladdin nodded. "It's a promise. After we help Jasmine."
They arrived in Agrabah and began to comb the streets for Jasmine.
"So, Jafar is after Jasmine and this 'keyhole'" Aladdin said.
Genie scrunched his brow. "Keyhole, eh? I could swear I've heard about that somewhere before…"
"Really," Donald said, staring intently at Genie. "Where?"
Genie didn't notice him. "Now, where was it? It's only been 200 years…"
"We'll focus on that later," Rin said. "We need to stop Jafar first."
They turn around a corner and came face to face with Jafar and Jasmine.
"Jasmine!" Aladdin said as he took a step forward.
Jafar blocked his way. "Setting your sights a little high, aren't you, boy?" He made a shooing movement. "Back to your hole, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess any more."
"I'm so sorry, Aladdin," Jasmine said. She shrunk back when Jafar looked at her.
Aladdin held up the lamp and turned to Genie. "Genie help Jasmine, please."
Genie quickly appeared behind Jasmine and picked her up. "One wish left," he said. "You're making this really easy, you know."
Rin frowned as she saw Jafar's eager expression. Her eyes widened. "Aladdin stop, it's a trap."
Aladdin started as a parrot grabbed the lamp from his hands and brought it to Jafar.
"So sorry, boy," Jafar said. "I'm afraid your second wish has been denied."
Genie hung his head. "I'm so sorry, Al." He disappeared back into the lamp and dropped Jasmine into a pot.
The pot sprouted legs. Other pots sprouted legs as well. They came together and formed a centipede heartless.
Jafar grinned. "And now, I bid you all farewell." He motioned to them. "Attack!"
The Pot Centipede rushed forward. They could hear Jasmine yelling for help from one of the pots.
"We can't fight it," Aladdin said. "Jasmine is in one those."
"Then we won't fight it," Rin said. "We'll break it."
Sora grinned. "I like the way you think." He turned his attention to the heartless. "Let's do this."
They surrounded the pot centipede and began to attack different pots. Donald hit one with a bolt of lighting and broke it in half. Unfortunately it was empty.
"Got some anger issues there, Donald?" Rin asked as she she cracked a pot. It wobbled for a second before breaking.
"Ha, Ha" Donald said.
Jiminy crawled up to Rin's shoulder. "Whoa," He said as a pot barely missed them.
"You might want to get back in my pocket where it's safe," Rin said. "We're trying to rescue Jasmine."
"That's what I was going to tell you," Jiminy said. "Jasmine's not here."
"What?" Rin said. The pot centipede was roaring as it fell in defeat and disappeared.
"I said that Jasmine's not here," Jiminy yelled. "Jafar took her."
They all looked back at where the pot centipede had been. There was no trace of Jasmine.
Jafar laughed maniacally. They looked up just in time to see Jafar and Genie heading to the desert.
"Come on," Aladdin said, "we need to follow them."
Sora and the others quickly followed Aladdin. Rin was about to follow when she felt a pair of eyes on her. She whirled around and looked. There was no one there but she still felt like someone was watching her.
"Rin," Jiminy said. "We better hurry and catch up with them."
"Right, I'm going." She turned and saw Sora running back toward her.
He looked concerned. "You okay? I turned back and you weren't following us."
"Yeah, just thought I saw something," Rin said. "Must have been my imagination." She grabbed Sora's hand. "Let's catch up with the others."
As they ran back to the others, Rin couldn't help but notice how comfortable her hand felt in his.
Wolf and Riku watched from the dark alley. They didn't move until they were sure she was gone.
"That was close," Riku said as he glanced down at the unconscious Jasmine. They were barely able to slip away. The last thing they needed was being discovered. He couldn't. Not till he had found Kairi.
"We should move her now," Wolf said snapping Riku out of his thoughts.
"Right," Riku frowned in the direction Rin had run off to. "I don't trust her."
Wolf stiffened slightly. "Do you mean Rin?"
"Yes," Riku said. "She's changing Sora. I can see it and I don't like it."
"You must be imagining things," Wolf said.
"Maybe," Riku said. "Still I think Maleficent is right. We should be wary about her."
As he stooped down to pick up Jasmine, he didn't see Wolf's expression. It was a mixture between anger and worry.
You're getting too close to the shadows, Wolf thought, once you go to far, you'll never get back.
L.A.: I'll try to update as soon as I can. You know what to do READ and REVIEW!
