Ok, I'm trying out a new style of writing so bear with me and let me know what you think about the change. I also got another story request so this will keep going for a little longer but I still need more ideas, to be honest I'm terrified to use my own ideas in case someone doesn't like them... Here is part 2 of Aladdin and enjoy!

Hidden in the shadows cast by the mysterious red light, Gray was able to sneak his way into the throne room. Natsu was sitting dejectedly in a corner. Natsu happened to look up and noticed Gray approaching. Natsu quickly looked over to Midnight to find his back was currently turned as he tried to seduce Cana. Natsu took the opportunity and cautiously made his way over to Gray. "Gray! I'm so sorry, I guess freedom really was a good wish huh. If I was free, none of this would have happened." Gray smiled at Natsu, "It's not your fault. You can't be free unless someone wishes for it, right?" Natsu just nodded, "Well, I'll use my last wish to set you free then. All I need to do is save Cana and get the lamp. I'm a street rat after all, stealing is my forte." Natsu smiled wide, "I'm all fired up."
Natsu crept back to his previous location, pretending to still be sulking in the corner. "Oh, genie. Do make Cana fall in love with me." Natsu got up and cleared his throat, "I am afraid to say that is against the rules, I can't make people fall in love." Midnight narrowed his eyes and was about to force Natsu to do it but before he could, he heard something clank to the ground. Midnight turned around to see Gray behind him. His goblet was on the floor and the contents had spilled out of the cup, leaving a pool of burgundy liquid on the pristine white tile.
"Oh, how amusing. The little rat came to save his witch. But, can you really defeat me? Genie, I wish to change my request. Instead of Cana falling in love with me, I'd rather be the most powerful wizard in the world." Natsu sighed, "Very well." Then he looked over to Gray as the magic left his fingers and surrounded Midnight. The look was nothing more than a simple glance to most but the look in Natsu's eyes told Gray, 'I believe in you.' Gray nodded as the pink light faded to reveal Midnight in black and red robes of the 'Master Dark Mage.' Gray charged Midnight but then veered to his right last minute, stopping when he reached Cana. He quickly undid the shackles on her wrists and ankles.
The only reason that Midnight hadn't stopped him was because Gray's friends Wendy and Happy, back to being a monkey thanks to Midnight undoing the prince spell, were distracting him temporarily. Gray stood up, grabbing Cana's hand, and ran for her father. Gray started to undo the restraints on the Sultan until he and Cana were thrown back by two strong hands. Gray looked around for who had done it until his eyes fell upon Midnight holding a silver dagger to Gildart's throat. The dagger glinted in the poor lighting and Gray caught a feint reflection of a pile of blue twine and four golden tassels with a small bug trapped under a crystal goblet. Gray knew that the pile of twine was Wendy so the bug had to be happy. Gray locked eyes with the smirking wizard, "I will kill you, Midnight." "Oh, I'd love to see you try."
Midnight took the dagger away from the Sultan's throat and laughed, thoroughly amused. "How about you and I have a little fight then shall we? Nothing is exempt except involving other people. I will not use Cana as a hostage or any such thing. I want a real fight after all, not one I win because I hid behind a woman." Gray nodded in agreement and readied himself. (A/N I apologize about me skipping the action a bit, I'm afraid I'm still working on writing fights well.)
The two males fought fiercely and Gray's resilience annoyed Midnight greatly. Gray had a wonderful idea and was happy that Midnight was so angry as to take the bait, "You're not strong enough to defeat me, Midnight. Give it up. The only way you could be stronger and defeat me was if you were a genie. After all they are all powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they have to be given rules, but you don't follow rules do you?" Midnight stopped attacking for a moment and thought, "Genie! My final wish! I wish to be the most powerful genie in the world."
Natsu smirked and gave Gray a knowing look. Of course, Master." Magic snaked towards Midnight from Natsu's fingers. The magic this time was of a deep red instead of pink and looked less like light and more like clouds. The other odd thing about the magic was the lightening crackling throughout it. It surrounded Midnight and the crackling light became louder and brighter until it suddenly dissipated with no warning. Before Gray was a genie with burgundy skin that radiated pure hate and power. Gray took a step back, he knew it was Midnight and he was happily observing things go according to the last second and on-the-scene plan.
Golden bands signaling the genie's slavery appeared around Midnight's wrists as a lamp was formed below him, sucking him into the minuscule spaced. "Phenomenal cosmic power, itty-bitty living space." Natsu laughed at Gray's witty words. Natsu took the lamp and threw it many miles out of the balcony window and into the middle of the near-by desert. The throne room reverted back to normal, the chains around Gildarts disappeared while his royal robes were suddenly replacing his rags. Wendy and Happy were returned to normal, everything was back to how it was before Midnight. Everything except for the fact that Gray wasn't a prince.
Cana ran up and hugged Gray. He hugged her back affectionately then pulled away to give her a chaste kiss before they were hugging once more. Natsu looked at the happy couple, "Gray, all you have to do is wish. A princess can only marry a prince, even I know that. Just one wish and you can be a prince again." Gray shook his head, "Natsu, I wish for you to be free." Natsu looked at him, stunned. The golden cuffs around his wrists disappeared along with his lamp. He looked down to see legs covered in plain white trousers long enough to just barely tickle the tops of his bare feet.
Gildarts looked at how happy everyone was and he didn't want to see it end. He walked up to the group and smiled, "Well, I'm sultan after all. If I say my daughter can marry who ever she wishes then no one can defy your choice of husbands can they?" Gray and Cana turned to Gildarts before turning to face each other and embracing each other more tightly than before. Gray let go and got to one knee, "Princess Cana of Agraba, would you do me the pleasure of becoming my wife?" Cana simply nodded her head, covering her mouth as silent tears rolled down her face.
But there was more to come, the Sultan turned to Natsu. "I do have an open position for royal adviser, if you may be interested young man." Natsu grinned widely, "How could I decline such an offer from the Sultan himself?" Natsu bowed slightly, the grin still plastered onto his tan face.
Gray, soon after, got married to Cana. He was a kind and wonderful Sultan, beloved by all his people. Cana gave birth to a little girl with dark brown hair. Gray named her Ultear in honor of his dead mother, Ul. Natsu made a wonderful adviser when he wasn't tripping and falling, still getting accustomed to having legs after many millennium of living without.
THE END!
