So, now we'll continue. Thanks for reviewing, TaylorRiley17 and XxRebelWriterxX.

I had to face Al earlier than I thought. Well, I didn't really. Iago decided to humour me by flying alongside as I walked through the market.

"So if your brother's living in the palace, why are you still on the streets?" he asked.

"Because I choose to be." I muttered. "Shut up, you stupid parrot."

"Who are you telling to shut up, street mouse?"

"You, idiot."

We didn't get to the palace, of course. The door was closed to outsiders. I would need Carpet if I wanted to get in, and if I remembered right, Al was using Carpet for transportation at this point. I'd have to hide out in the streets for a couple hours before Al came out. Maybe I'd have to steal something, just to survive.

I didn't, though. Iago tried, but the shopkeeper wasn't taking any shit from some stupid parrot.

I also kept a firm grip on Iago. He wasn't going to get away from me.

OK, that was until he saw Al coming out of the palace and broke away, deciding to try to play him for sympathy. I wasn't ready to face Al yet, so I hovered in the background, hiding, trying to look invisible.

When Al didn't fall for Iago's act, Iago moved on to Plan B and started insisting that Jafar had used his hypnosis snake staff. I watched as the parrot stayed out of reach, and then flew around a corner and bumped into that thief that I remembered. Al also bumped into him.

"You...look familiar." said the thief.

At this point, he had his men around him, who weren't there when he started working with Jafar, as I remember. "It's Aladdin." they chorused in bored tones.

"Well, it is?" began the thief, and then quickly said "I knew that." He gave orders to attack him, as well as Abu (who, as always, was there) and Iago, who he misjudged.

"Time I jumped in." I muttered, and pulled my knife out of my street-mouse clothes, ready to defend them, and myself if necessary. Al had some trouble with the three minions, so I ran up behind them and kicked one in the right place, ready to knife him if I had to. Al saw me, but the distraction was definitely not a good thing, as the other two were advancing on him. But it was Iago who dropped the plant that got all of them knocked out for a moment.

"And I got more where that came from!" Iago hollered. I put the knife back in my pocket.

"Shut the beak, parrot!" I yelled as he flew down onto a stall. "Yeah, yeah, we know, you saved us all. You get a fair trial, I suppose." I grabbed him with one hand, again, firmly.

Al looked back at me, and gave an awkward smile. "Couldn't have put it better, Lee."

I returned the smile. "Well, OK, anyway, I just wanted to give you this." I gave him Jafar's lamp. "He got out of the Cave of Wonders, and Iago's decided to drop him as a partner. You have to destroy the lamp. You can ask Genie, when he gets back. Anyway, I'll leave you to-" I was almost out of there, but Al's hand closed around my wrist.

"Lee, you're not leaving? Come back to the palace. You can't just stay on the streets."

"Why not?" I demanded. "You'd been living alone on the streets for years before we met."

"And I know how painful it is. Come on, please. Jasmine will be happy I found you, too."

I sighed. I wasn't going to be able to refuse this one. "And you?" I whispered.

"I missed you, Lee." Al said. I read the honesty in his brown eyes. "Running away isn't going to solve anything. We've got to talk. Come on."

Iago wasn't pleased to be locked in a cage back at the palace. Al said he'd talk to the Sultan first.

"Are you kidding?" Iago screeched. "He hates me! And what about the princess?"

"I'll just have to make sure Jasmine doesn't see you until I've gotten her prepared."

"Gotten me prepared for what?"

I turned to see Jasmine. She was just as pretty as always. She gave a gasp when she saw me and immediately hugged me.

"Can't...breathe!" I gasped out.

Jasmine let me go. "Oh. Sorry." She turned to Al. "Is that what you were talking about?"

"Um...yes." Al lied.

Jasmine still seemed suspicious of him, as she should have been. "You aren't hiding anything from me, are you? No more secrets?"

"Just tell her!" I insisted. "If he escapes, you don't want to see it."

Al gave a sigh. "Lee, I can't."

Jasmine still wanted to know. "What are you two talking about?"

I sighed too. "OK, OK. Jazz, I'm not going to ask you if you remember Iago's unwavering loyalty to Jafar, because you do. Thing is, Iago was in the marketplace today, and some thugs came along and started beating up on Al. Iago saved his life by dropping a plant on the leader's head, and he says that Jafar used him too, with the snake staff. I personally don't think it's true, but if Jafar stays in the lamp, I think it'll be OK to give Iago a fair trial. And he is in this cage!" I stepped back with a flourish.

Jasmine's face was becoming darker with shock and a bit of anger mixed in.

Iago smiled embarrassedly at her and said, "Uh...hi, Princess."

Jasmine scowled at him. "Just watch your step, and keep out of my way." She turned to Al. "Maybe he saved you, but I still don't trust him. Just make sure he doesn't try anything.

"And we need to destroy the Lamp-" I began, but I was stopped by a wave in the fountain, with a certain blue figure surfing it.

Said figure appeared next to us and announced "He's big, he's blue, he's BACK!"

I cringed. "Is it just me, or have you been taking lessons to imitate Homer Simpson?" I asked. I did remember something about Genie's voice actor changing, and I could definitely hear a bit of Homer.

I stood back to watch a couple of his gags (remembering every single one from the first movie), before I went up and said hi.

"Hang on!" Genie announced. "I got souvenirs for everyone!" He gave Al a Mexican hat, Jasmine a statue, and me a Russian doll, the kind that opens with a bunch of little dolls inside.

I could sense the song sequence when Genie was saying "Agrabah has something that no other place in the world has." Then he turned into a firework. "YOU GUYS!"

I pretty much watched most of the song, only singing to harmonize one line with Jasmine. Then it was time to address the fact that I still had Jafar's lamp.

OK, lamp conversation coming up. Please review!

Also, I am NOT going to be doing "King Of Thieves", but I want to include a storyline from the TV series. I'll give you a hint: A street girl and a bit of sand. Now review and tell me what you think!
