Let's continue. Thanks for reviewing, rollingbell and jazzigirl95. Also, I better point out here something I missed. I've decided to have Aladdin calling Cleo "Lee" as an abbreviation.

The very next day was pretty weird. I mean just the fact that the guards went looking for us when we were doing nothing at all was weird. Anyway, the three of us had just stolen a melon, when I noticed Al's eyes becoming focused on something further down the road the market was on. I followed his gaze to see what he was staring at.

Immediately, a feeling of jealousy flowed through me. He was staring at a girl of about my age (maybe younger) dressed in brown. She was very pretty, and I immediately felt a longing for him to look at me that way. But no, I was nothing but a kind-of younger sister. I knew it already, but it hurt more than I expected to see Al watching another girl like that. He flirted a bit, I knew that, but this was the first time he'd looked at a girl that way.

There was also one other thing. The girl looked strangely familiar like everything else, but I couldn't place her. What's more, I was sure I'd seen this exact same girl, at the exact same age, but it would have been years ago. That was pretty freaky.

Abu jumped on Al's head and waved his hand over Al's face, but got no response.

The girl seemed very unexperienced, as she picked up an apple from a stall and gave it to a kid, not expecting to pay.

"I'm sorry, sir," she said to the man, "I don't have any money."

He would've cut off her hand if Al and I hadn't stepped in. Well, it was his idea, and I knew the drill. He soon had the knife in his hand and gave it to the girl.

"I've been looking all over for you." he said to the girl.

"What are you doing?" she whispered.

"Just play along."

"You know this girl?" said the apple-seller.

"Yes, she's our sister." I told him, adding in a whisper "She's slightly disturbed." The girl huffed in pretend annoyance.

"She said she knew the Sultan!" the apple-seller growled.

"She thinks the monkey is the Sultan!" Al quickly said.

The girl looked at Abu, and then played her role, bowing down to him. "Oh wise Sultan, how may I serve you?"

Abu mimed acting like the Sultan.

"Tragic, isn't it?" said Al. "But, no harm done."

I put an arm around the girl's shoulders and steered her along. "Come on, sis, it's time to see the doctor."

The girl stopped at a camel with a dazed look in her eyes and said "Oh, hello doctor, how are you?"

I had to stifle my giggles at her convincing act as Al said "No no no, not that one." and then to Abu, "Come on, Sultan."

At that point, coins and apples Abu had taken spilled out of his vest, so we had to make a speedy getaway.

Third POV: With Jafar

As Iago ran to create the storm clouds, Jafar put everything in place and then ordered the Sands of Time. "Show me the one who can enter the cave."

The hourglass' sands cleared and showed two teenagers, obviously street kids – none other than Aladdin and Cleo. "Well, it looks like there are two diamonds."

"Them?" screeched Iago. "That's all we've been waiting for?" He forgot to run, and was sent flying.

"Let's have the guards extend them an invitation to the palace, shall we?" Jafar said smoothly as Iago was flung against the wall.

"Swell." the parrot choked out.

Cleo's POV

We ended up taking the girl home. Abu immediately started getting jealous, since all Al seemed to do was talk to her and pay no attention to me or Abu – that was, except when he tried to take the girl's apple.

The girl didn't pay much attention to anything else. I swear, if they had kissed, I would have taken off right then.

The girl said that she'd run away because her father wanted to force her to get married, and that she wanted to just get away from being told what to do.

But then we heard voices. I gasped as I saw the guards.

Al and the girl both spoke at the same time. "They're after me! They're after you?"

Al glanced at me for a moment, knowing I knew what to do. Then he held out a hand to the girl, and all of us jumped. Abu was knocked into a bowl, while I felt someone grab my arms.

"Now we've got you, you little street mouse!" hissed a voice.

"Keep telling yourself that, you son of a bitch." I hissed back.

Razoul grabbed Al soon enough. "We just keep running into one another, don't we, street rat?"

"Let them go!" cried the girl.

Razoul laughed at her, knocking her down. "Lookee here, men, another street mouse!"
"Unhand them!" cried the girl, pulling her hood off to reveal a jeweled headband. "By order of the princess!"

I gasped as all of us had to bow. "Princess Jasmine." Razoul observed.

"The princess?" I heard Al whisper. I was just as surprised, but then, it explained why she said she knew the Sultan, and her strange behaviour in the marketplace. And why she said her father wanted her to get married. But why did she have to be the one that Al started staring at? It made me even more jealous!

"What are you doing outside the palace," Razoul questioned, "And with these street kids?"

"That's not your concern." the princess said. "Do as I command, release them!"

"I would, Princess," Razoul said, "But my orders come from Jafar. You'll have to take it up with him." I didn't know who they were talking about, but I didn't take much notice at the time.

The princess was starting to look very annoyed. "Believe me, I will."

As the guards dragged us off for doing absolutely nothing, I tried to rearrange my thoughts about Princess Jasmine. It seemed that she was rejecting all her suitors because she simply didn't want to get married. But she didn't seem too much of a snob. After all, she'd tried to stop the guards.

But either way, the two of us were taken to the dungeon and chained to the wall. I was scared that we wouldn't live another 24 hours. But Al? Well, he didn't even seem to have a problem with death.

He was still thinking about Princess Jasmine.

Cleo is NOT happy that Aladdin has fallen in love with a princess. But apart from that, I've still got a few surprises to come. Stay tuned, and review!
