To Cure a Thief part 1

The inhabitants of Agrabah's palace were sleeping peacefully in their beds. All was quiet. At least until a clumsy thief came about and…triggered the treasure room alarm. All at once the sleepers were roused awake by loud horns blaring. And a certain boy was rudely awakened….

*Horns blaring*

"Ahhh!" I yelled and fell out of the bed, tangled in the sheets. I looked around wildly still half asleep. Iago woke up too with a yelp and he landed on my head.

"What the heck is going on out there!" He screeched and I frowned.

"Someone broke into the treasure room!" I jumped up and Iago flew after me as I ran down the hall. I met Al outside the throne room.

"What happen?" I asked coming up to Al.

"A break in." Al patted my head. "Go back to bed." No way!

"What'd they take?"

"Nothing." Al sighed and Iago leaned forward.

"You mean there's a dead guy in there?" I looked at him and he shrugged. "What?"

"No, they got away whoever they were, but barely. I haven't a clue what they were after." Al said with a shrug.

"Let's go find out." Iago and I ran in and Al followed.

"I can't believe someone broke into the treasure, father." Jasmine was saying as we approached her. She saw us and smiled a little. The palace guards were setting the traps back up and I couldn't help but wince at the weaponry. That guy must have been pretty lucky to escape all of that.

"It's very strange, Jasmine." The Sultan pulled me out of my thoughts as he spoke. "There's so much here to take and yet it seems they were only interested in that jeweled gauntlet." Suddenly something furry and small rushed past my legs and I rolled my eyes. Abu heard the words 'jeweled gauntlet' and came scurrying from wherever he was hiding.

"Oh, no you don't!" I said coming up to him as he leaned eagerly over the golden glove.

"Don't even think about it, Abu." Al stated folding his arms across his chest.

'Who me?' he asked innocently and Iago snorted, flying down to hover above him.

"Yes you, King Klepto!" I sniggered as Abu swatted and chased off the offending bird. Iago landed back on my shoulder and we went to follow the others.

"We should all head back to bed." The Sultan said and I yawned.

"Good idea." I smiled sleepily and Jasmine giggled. We were about to walk out when…The alarms went off again! We all whirled around to see the golden gauntlet gone! Jasmine, Iago, and I screeched as a sword went flying past out heads. Iago took off to get away and Al ran into the Sultan as he tried to escape another sword. Rasoul jumped as the large spiked ball came flying towards him but he didn't get away fast enough and it took his pants. As much as I wanted to snigger at the guards polka-dotted undergarments, dangerous weapons still flew about the room. Hakim, another guard, fell into the trap door that contained the crocodiles and Iago got caught on a large bed that was made so that when someone laid on it they would be held down by two metal bars. Iago screeched as the top one closed around his body.

"Iago!" I yelped and Jasmine covered her eyes as a large swinging axe almost chopped his head off! Luckily it only took off a few head feathers leaving him bald. Hesitantly, he crawled out from under the bar and touched his head.

"My-my-ahhhh!" he screamed and fell back in a faint. I sighed. Poor Iago. The Sultan sat up and looked around at the scattered guards.

"Good heavens, this is most peculiar." Jasmine and Al helped him stand up. "I don't understand what could have set it off." Something caught my eye and I looked down and groaned. Abu was holding the glove. He came up to me sheepishly. I took it from him and I heard a gasp turning around I blushed bright red.

"Uh-oh." I said and Al turned to look at me. The Sultan and Jasmine stared at me too. They hadn't seen Abu!

"Alaric?" The Sultan asked in shock and I gulped.

"I-I, um…accident?" I grinned sheepishly and then cast a glare at the small primate that was hiding behind my pants leg. The Sultan frowned disapprovingly making me feel worse and Al took the glove from me giving me a knowing look and handed it back to the ruler. Behind him, Rasoul stood grinning madly. Great just great.

A little later we were sitting in Jasmine's room. Al was standing above the monkey and Abu was looking very, very sorry. Al could be quite aggressive when he was mad and I should know! Jasmine was laying on her couch/bed and was watching Aladdin ranting at Abu with slight disapproval. I sat along the wall, to stay out of the line of fire and Iago sat on Al's shoulder looking just as angry if not more so. Rajah came and laid his head in my lap nudging my hand. I rolled my eyes and started to pet him.

"I am fed up, Abu!" Al yelled at Abu who cowered in response.

"And I am raw under the toupee!" Iago snarled lifting the top layer of his head feathers. I sniggered and he looked at me. "You think that's funny!"

"Um…no?" I fell into fits of snickering and he scowled at me.

"Aladdin." Jasmine spoke and we looked at her. "Maybe you're being a little too rough on Abu."

"Rough? Rough?" Aladdin yelled getting louder each time. Uh-oh, when he's this mad nothing can stop him from thinking before speaking! "He got Rick in trouble and he embarrassed us! The Sultan thought Alaric had taken it!" He then whirled around to Abu. "I've had it with you and you're stealing! When will you learn?" He stomped out of the room seething angrily and Abu looked at me.

"I'm not mad anymore, Abu." I assured him and he gave me a small smile. "I know you didn't mean to get in trouble." Something made a noise behind us and we all turned then to see Genie's lamp moving around. In a puff of blue smoke he came out. He was on a strange-looking screen thing and was black and white.

"Learning can be fun with Professor Kno-led-led-ledge!" Genie was wearing a strange-looking outfit and as he spoke he zapped Abu into a small table looking thing that had a chair attached to it. "Put on your thinking fez. Today's secret word…steal. One, to take another's property dishonestly, Two…DON'T DO IT!" He screamed and Abu toppled over. I was laughing loudly clutching at Rajah and Genie winked at me. Then he took a coin and held it out to Abu.

"So class what have we learned?" Abu snatched the coin and looked at it in his palm. Genie's face was on it. "Oh, the kid knows the value of a buck." With a puff of smoke Genie reappeared as his normal self. As I was sniggering again a shadow fell across Abu and we all looked to see Al standing there holding something in his hands.

"Abu," he said sternly. "You leave me no choice." He held up a leash and Abu screeched. "If you can't control your stealing this leash will!" All I could do was stare at the leash as it swung back and forth. A memory that I had pushed way back suddenly came forth.

"Here, little jinx." Cooed the man waving the leash at me. "Come out and I promise not to harm you." I moved further back and the man snarled and reached for me. I screamed and bit at him. I finally got a hold of his hand and he cursed, pulling his hand back.

"Leave me alone!" I cried my seven-year old voice barely loud. "I-I didn't do it!"

"I don't care! You'll make a great addition to my freak show! Now come out of there!" I shook my head and moved further into the box he had cornered me in. Suddenly my leg was grabbed and the man jerked me out.

"Got him, boys!" Other men leered in my face and then I was held down as they put the leash around my neck.

"We caught the jinx!" A tall man laughed and they all laughed. I was then pulled down the street and people laughed at me. All I could do was cry, no one could save me…

I did eventually get away but the leash seemed to bring up the fact that I had felt trapped and suddenly I could sympathize with Abu. No one deserves to be on a leash. Abu growled angrily and he stomped past Al, slapping at the leash. Something in me snapped and I trembled slightly when Al moved.

"I think you over did it with the leash." Jasmine reprimanded and Aladdin scoffed.

"Oh, he'll be back." he said and I frowned. Abu's fez suddenly flew into the room slapping him in the face.

"Ah, I dunno Al," Genie came up behind him. "That's one mad monkey." Abu stomped completely out of the room then and tears welled in my eyes. Abu couldn't leave, he just couldn't. How could Al do that?

"Iago, maybe you should keep an eye on him." Jasmine suggested and Iago scowled.

"Oh, sure like the bird has nothing better to do!" He started to fly off when he bumped into Rajah. The tiger growled and licked his lips and it would have been funny if I wasn't so upset. "Uh, nothing good on tonight! Guess I'll go monkey watching!" With that he flew out of the room. "Oh look! There's one now!"

"And make sure he doesn't steal anything!" Aladdin shouted after him and I looked up at him from the floor. "How…" I said slowly and he looked at me. "How-how can you say that? He's your friend." Tears stung my eyes and I had to look away a moment. Tears turned to anger then. "What are you going to do now?" I asked savagely. "Put me on a leash if I steal something?"

"Don't be stupid, Alaric." Al said angrily. "I had to do it. He needs to learn control."

"And a leash does that!" I shouted at him. "Nobody deserves to be leashed, Al."

"Well he should control it! We don't have to steal anymore!"

"Are you going to bring out a leash every time he does!"

"You wouldn't understand!"

"Understand what? That you just drove Abu away!"

"If you don't like it so much then go! Go out there with him then and don't bother coming back!" My lower lip trembled but I just gritted my teeth to stop it.

"Fine!" I said and without another word I walked towards the door. "Have you forgotten what I told you?" He paused for a minute and then realization broke across his face and I left. I went quickly ignoring the calling of my name and started to run as tears streamed down my face.

The next morning, I was sitting on the awning of one of the stands in the marketplace my knees drawn up to my chest. I had been here all night and my muscles were sore from being drawn up all night. As I looked around I suddenly smelled something really good. Looking around I soon spotted it. A date pastry, my mouth started to water as my stomach gave a growl. As I pondered the prospect of getting one, a small brown monkey grabbed both that the vendor had in his hands. Grinning from ear to ear I jumped down from the awning, scaring a few people and took off towards the awning the small monkey had disappeared too. I reached where he was and climbed up. I kept out of sight from him, Iago, and the crowd of people below me.

"It's about time!" Iago said irritably and I grinned at his laid back posture. "I'm starving!" he snatched one the date pastries from Abu. After taking a bite he paused. "I can't believe you stole this date pastry!" I rolled my eyes. "I told you I wanted blueberry!" After a minute he shrugged. "Eh, free is free." I gave a laugh and they jumped.

"Kid?" Iago asked with wide eyes. "What are you doing out here?" Abu glared at me and I shook my head, looking at the awning top. I started to pick at the fabric.

"No, Abu, I'm not here to take you back. I'm not going back, same as you." He patted my arm and I looked up at him. "I'm on your side with this." Iago frowned a little but didn't say anything aloud.

"Abu, watch my back." he nodded with a puzzled look at me and I leaned over the stall. There was a nice looking melon and I wanted it. As I stared at it, my eyes flickering between the vendor and the fruit, Al's words came back to me.

"We don't have to steal anymore." I sighed and grabbed it anyway. I was hungry! Besides I wasn't about to give Al the satisfaction of me coming home. I pulled the melon back up and Iago's jaw dropped as did Abu's.

"Hey," I said to the stunned pair. "Guy's got to eat." I shrugged and started eating and Iago and Abu went back to lazing about.

"You know you have a definite talent, Abu." Iago said conversationally after awhile. Abu grinned and nodded. "You too…" He motioned at me. "Wish I would have noticed it earlier." Iago muttered and I snorted. "Could have got some free food." I sighed and shook my head. "That's the problem with Al." I stiffened when he said Al. "He's always stifling your creativity. Anytime you want to steal pastries, go ahead I'm behind you all the way." I rolled my eyes.

"Iago, I don't think you should-"A yell caught our attention then and we looked up to see a thin, tall man flying through the air. He crashed through the awning and the small animals and I jumped back in fright.

"You stole those pastries!" he accused and Iago spat his out. "And you took those fruits!" He pointed at me.

"I'm innocent it was all them!" he pointed at Abu and me. "He's the Kelpto! They both are!" I swatted at him.

"And brilliant ones at that." the man said as he snatched the pastry from Abu. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Damoola, Amin Damoola." As he spoke Iago flew around to get a better look at the guy. "The way you snatched these pasties was poetry in motion!" he yelled and as he did he squeezed the pastry spraying Iago with the insides. I stifled a snigger. "And you my young friend were brilliant with those fruits. Such talent!" Amin praised and I arched an eyebrow.

"Taught them everything they know!" Iago announced after cleaning himself off and Damoola shoved him out-of-the-way.

"You?" I whispered to him and he shrugged.

"What?" he hissed back.

"We have much to discuss you and I." Damoola told Abu. "And you too." He eyed me. "Join me for dinner? My treat…" He tempted and Abu bit his lip in thought. I didn't like this guy, not only was he clumsy but he was sly. Something was up. I just wasn't sure what.

"Free dinner!" Iago stated and I frowned.

"Are you sure about-" Iago slapped a wing over my mouth stifling me.

"We accept! We accept!" he said and I frowned behind the wing. I shoved him away as Amin grinned.

"Fabulous!" Amin shouted and then he toppled backwards through the hole he had created. "I'm alright!" He announced seconds later. I then and there decided to go. I didn't trust that man. We soon left the awning and went down the crowded streets.

Meanwhile….

It was nightfall again and Aladdin leaned against Jasmine's balcony sadly. He tossed Abu's fez up and down in his hand as he sighed. Why did he have to lose his temper? Not only did he lose Abu, but Alaric too…. Aladdin suddenly frowned. Well he wanted to go. They both did. See if he cared. Jasmine came out and smiled a little at her fiancée.

"Don't worry, they'll be back." Jasmine whispered laying a hand onto Aladdin's shoulder. Ever prideful, Aladdin shook it off.

"Heh, I'm not worried." He told her standing and hiding the fez behind his back. "I've forgotten all about them." Jasmine was not convinced.

"Oh, you have, have you?" She grabbed his fist and uncovered the fez. Aladdin grinned sheepishly.

"Sure!" he said and then changed his tone. "Uh, why you think something's happened?" Jasmine sighed. Male egos. Will they ever learn?
