Chapter Ten
Funny Hats
The next week I found myself perched on top of the entry way of the House of Mouse, watching as people began piling in for the final show of the season. I could see most of the princesses; they had all decided to wear funny hats for some reason. It made absolutely no sense, but then a lot of things haven't made sense lately, like my undying love for Jasmine.
Flying around the room I noticed that it wasn't just the princesses, it was everyone. Even the villains, who didn't really have to do much in particular cases, were wearing funny hats. I didn't get it. It was then that Mickey came up on stage, wearing the worst rainbow themed hat I have ever seen, I almost took offensive to it be honest.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the House of Mouse" he said, once again practically yelling over the music, "Tonight as you probably noticed, is Funny Hat Night. So without any further introductions or anything else, let the dancing begin." Dancing? What was he getting at? Then the music started played and the stage disappeared, revealing a large dance floor. Then everyone got up and began dancing.
I was completely flabbergasted. It was times like this were nothing made sense that I wanted to stop the world entirely, that maybe I might get some peace for once. But no, I couldn't do that.
Landing on the Blue Fairy's table, somewhat grateful that she wasn't present, I leaned against a candle, trying to reach for the warmth that it emitted. All of my friends, if they really were my friends, were out on the dance floor having the time of their lives. Normally, I'm a pretty social bird, I enjoy others company. But this was too much even for me. There were hats everywhere, and each one was unique, it was like Madri Gras and the Kentucky Derby in one big package. There were hats with sparklers, hats with random annoying blinking lights, hats that were weird just by being a hat.
I looked over at Jafar and noticed that he wasn't dancing, I knew him not to be the dancing type anyway, but I also saw that his hat didn't change, it was ridiculous enough already I supposed. Then he walked over to me. Leaning in with his evil grin on his face, he spoke, "I understand Iago" he patted my head violently, "to watch as people step on you, not caring about your feelings." I flew towards a balcony but Jafar was there before I got even close to it, "I know what you want. I can make it happen, for a small fee of course" "Nothing you can say, give or do will ever make me strike a deal Jafar" I answered, "Besides, I told you before. I want her to love me for me, and if she doesn't then it wasn't meant to be." Jafar laughed, "So naïve. So pitiful, you actually think that Jasmine will accept you. After what you did, I'm surprised that Aladdin hasn't killed you yet"
Yeah, there are a few things I may have forgotten to mention. For example, the night that Jafar turned me human, I accidently ran into Jasmine. No surprise there, right? But then something, unexpected happened...
