Chapter 5: Aladdin
The following night, Bulma drug herself into the house around 8:30. She was extremely tired, and was trying to be quiet, since living with saiyans she tried her best. As she made it up the stairs, she walked by Trunks' room and stopped, she knew he was a grown man he didn't need his mother looking in on him anymore, but it was hard for her not to do, she looked at the doorknob and just kept walking. Then she came to Bra's door, being 5 it was still ok for mommy to look in on her, when Bulma poked her head in she saw Bra laying in bed most likely sleeping, but when she went to shut the door, "Mommy?"
Bulma opened the door up again, "Yes sweetie."
Bra sat up in her bed and rubbed her eyes looking at Bulma, "Can you tell me a story, Daddy is training and I don't like Trunks' stories."
Bulma leaned against the door frame. "Ok sweetie, just let me get changed ok?"
"Ok."
Right after Bulma left, Vegeta came walking by, he poked his head into Bra's room, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I was, I felt mommy home and woke up, she is going to tell me a story."
"Fine."
"Love you daddy." Vegeta just nodded and walked down the hall. A few minutes later, Bulma returned and got in the bed and laid down next to Bra.
"Ok, I got a story for you tonight, I told Trunks this one when he was your age."
"Ok!"
A long time ago there lived a prince, he was reaching the age of adulthood, and his father really wanted him to find a wife. But every woman that came to meet the prince turned away. He was too hard and cold and just down right cruel to them. The king was at the end of his rope he had no idea what to do.
At the same time the prince was choosing a wife, there live a young woman. She was abandoned, her only friend was a flying cat, they lived off the streets of the castle town. Stealing food or finding something to eat where ever they could. They were lucky that they at least had a place to live, it was an abandoned apartment building that was falling apart but it was home. One day the young woman, lets call her Lavender, and her flying cat, Violet, had just gotten some bread to eat when they saw two young children and their mother looking for food. Lavender walked over to them and gave them her half of the bread and walked away. Violet did the same. As they walked away there was a small parade, she poked her head up enough to see a very beautiful woman ride by on a horse. A man said, "Another suitor for the prince."
Just then one of the children ran out in front of her, startling her horse, she was about to hit the child when Lavender stepped in the way. "Why don't you pick on some one your own age!"
"Watch, who you are talking to you brat! Out of my way!" The woman pushed Lavender out of the way and continued into the gates of the castle. Lavender and Violet just returned home to over look the castle and dream of a better life.
Meanwhile, at the castle the king was holding a meeting with his most trusted advisor, Mango, she was very beautiful, but did her best to get what she wanted. She had an old man that followed her wherever she went, his name was Pear. They were discussing plans for the prince's wedding arrangements,when they heard a scream. They turned to see the young woman walk in she was extremely wet, "That's it! Good luck trying to find a woman for him! He is the cruelest man I've ever met! I'm going home!"
The king slapped his head and made his way out to find his son, it wasn't that hard to find him, he was in his training center.
"Ouji! That is your problem! You can't keep doing this to every woman that comes here! The law says you must be married by your 18th birthday, and that is only in a few weeks!"
In mid punch, "Yes, I know father, I will find one on my terms, not yours."
"You frustrate me young man!" The king turned around and left.
That night, Ouji couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave for a while, and maybe find a woman in the town that he might like. He left right before sun up and before his father woke. He hid himself under a hooded coat because everyone would know who he was. As he walked through town he came upon a young woman having some troubles. "Come on! I told you I have money to pay for it!" The young woman seemed to be fighting with the vendor, Ouji continued to watch this, suddenly during the fight and cat appeared out of no where grabbed two pieces of the same fruit the woman was fighting over and disappeared, suddenly the young woman let go, "I guess your right, I don't have the money, sorry for bothering you." The woman was gone.
'What a con artist.' Ouji thought as he walked after the woman and her cat.
"Mommy, what's a con artist?"
"You know the stories I've told you about things Trunks and Goten use to do?"
"Yeah."
"They were con artists."
"Oh, ok."
Ouji followed them for sometime, when they finally stopped to eat. "I see you are really good at tricking the locals young lady."
Lavender was a bit surprised, "Yeah, what do you want to make something of it?"
Ouji was a bit taken back by this, "No, just wondering."
Lavender was about to speak, "Stop!" It was the castle guards.
"They found me!" They both yelled, then looked at one another, "Found you!"
Lavender turned to run, because she knew where to go, "Come with us!" Ouji followed them when they came to a high edge.
Ouji turned to her and reached out his hand, "Do you trust me?"
"Yes. I guess." They took to the skies. They flew a great distance till, Lavender told him to land. "This is my home, you are welcome to stay." Lavender and Violet walked in. "It's not much, but it has a great view." Lavender opened the window to relieve the castle. She sat down. "I wonder what it's like to live there? I often dream of being there instead of here. Here I'm always on the run..."
To Ouji, Lavender's talking was growing distant, when he started to say, "No one understands you..."
"...You just feel empty and so..."
"Trapped." They both said and looked at one another.
Lavender was the first to break the silence, "So where are you from?"
"What does that matter, I'm not going back."
"That bad? Well you are welcome to stay here as long as you like." Lavender said with a big smile. Ouji just grinned and gave a weak nod.
Meanwhile, Mango was having troubles finding a worthy person to get her a certain item. The last several years, she had been looking for someone to bring her a magic ball that would contain a powerful being that would grant her wishes. So far she hadn't found anyone to get in. Her and Pear were using an unusual device to find the chosen one, suddenly Lavender came on the screen. "There she is, now to send guards after her."
The next morning Ouji, Lavender, and Violet were walking in town when they came upon the same guards from yesterday. "Stop!" This time when they went to run, they were cut off and captured. "Looks like we finally caught up with you little lady, your coming with us."
Ouji stepped in, "I command you to stop, by order of the prince!" Ouji took off his hood.
"The prince?" Lavender and the two guards holding her questioned.
The head guard stepped in, "I'm sorry your majesty but my orders come from Mango. You will have to take them up with her."
"I will."
That evening Lavender was taken to the dungeons, where Violet got in to try and get her out. Meanwhile, Mango was coming out of her hidden room when Ouji came in. "Mango! What is the meaning of arresting that young woman in the market?!?"
"Your majesty, she is under arrest for trying to kidnap you."
"I ran away."
"Oh, my. Well I wish there was something I could do, she was already put to death."
"You didn't."
"I so sorry." Mango walked off.
Meanwhile back in the dungeon Violet had just gotten Lavender free, when a little old lady came walking around the corner, she looked like she had been there for a very long time, "Young lady are you looking for a way out?"
Rubbing her wrists, "There is no way out, unless your dead."
"Oh, no." The old lady walked over to a wall and hit it, a hidden passage opened up. "Not everything is how it seems. If you come with me, I will ask you to do one thing for me in return."
Lavender got up, "What?"
"Help me retrieve a magic ball from the hidden temple."
"Ok. You have a deal."
A few hours later, Lavender, Violet, and the old woman arrived at the location of the hidden temple. The old woman turned to Lavender, "Get the ball first, then the rest can be yours."
"Ok." Lavender and Violet entered the temple, on the wall it said 'Touch nothing but the magic ball.' After walking quite a ways Lavender and Violet came upon a cloud, "That's weird what's a cloud doing in this temple?" Violet shrugged her shoulders. The cloud came up to them and was very friendly. "Can you help us find the magic ball?" The cloud flew off and signaled them to follow. After walking a long ways they came to a room, it housed the magic ball and a big blue gem. Lavender turned to Violet, "Don't touch anything. I'll be right back." Violet shook her head. As Lavender got closer to the ball, Violet was being drawn to the gem. The cloud, Nimbus, tried to stop her but it was too late. Right as Lavender grabbed the ball, the temple started to erupt. Nimbus grabbed Lavender and Violet and tried to get out. They made it to the entrance the old lady was waiting. Lavender slipped when she went to get out and was hanging on for her life, "Through me the ball!"
"Give me your hand!"
"Only if you give me the ball first!" Lavender handed the old lady the ball, "It's finally mine! Have fun in the after life!" Just then Violet bite the old lady and fell into the hole that was the temple with Lavender and Nimbus.
"Mommy, Lavender gets into a lot of trouble doesn't she?"
"Yes, sweetie."
Laying in the dark on her back, "That witch! Now we are stuck here."
Violet got up and shook her head and relieved the ball. "Violet, your a genius!"
Meanwhile, back up top, Mango had pulled off her mask and was extremely happy, "Now, I can rule the world?" Mango went to grab the ball but it was gone. "That little witch."
Back in the cavern. Lavender was looking over the ball, "Why would she want this anyways? It's all dirty." She started to rub it when a bright light came out of it. She dropped it and backed up.
"Man that feels good!" a voice said coming from the ball, suddenly a man came out of it. "Thank you so much, I've been in there for, man I don't remember how long. My name is Saiyan! My master." Saiyan bowed to Lavender.
"Wait a minute...master?"
"Yes, you rubbed the ball, you get three wishes, they can be whatever you want. Expect, I can wish anyone to die, come back to life, or fall in love."
"Ok. What good are wished when we are trapped in here?"
"Don't worry. Lets go!" They were off.
Back at the castle, Mango had made it back and was extremely angry. The king was busy dealing with a very angry prince.
Hundreds of miles away Saiyan, Lavender, Violet, and Nimbus had landed in an oasis. "There you have it."
"Great, now my three wishes."
"Nope, two now."
"Nope, I didn't wish to get out of there, that was all you."
"Well, don't I feel stupid. Anyways..your wishes."
"Let's see..." Lavender walked back and forth thinking, "what would you wish for?"
"Freedom, I'm tired of always having to grant wishes I want my own life."
"Ok. I'll have my first two wishes and on my third I'll wish for your freedom."
"Yeah right."
"Seriously I will."
"Ok. What are your wishes."
"Well, there's this guy..."
"Sorry no love."
"But he is wonderful, but he is a prince."
"So wish to be a princess."
"Ok, Saiyan, I wish to be a princess."
"Very well." he zapped at Lavender and her outfit changed into a beautiful long flowing blue dress. "Now to get you the princess goods, first you need a pet, he turned to Violet, "A horse will do. And now the rest."
Several days went by at the castle and Mango finally thought of a way to rule the world. She would convince the king to have the prince marry her. In the process of convincing him, they suddenly heard load music from town. The king went to the window to see a parade. In the middle of the parade he saw a beautiful young lady riding a horse. As the parade got closer the young lady rode up to the front door of the castle. She got off and approach the King, "Your majesty, I am Princess Delta, I am here because I have heard your prince is looking for someone to marry."
"He was." Mango stepped forward.
Mango and Delta started arguing, the Prince stepped in, "How dare you women think you can dictate my life!" He walked off.
That night Delta, aka Lavender, was sitting outside looking up at the Prince's room. She got onto Nimbus and flew up to his window where he was sitting. "I'm sorry for earlier my prince."
"Hmph."
"Let me make it up to you. Come on." She extended her hand and the prince grabbed it. They went for a ride and finally ended up watching a parade on a roof.
"You know it's too bad, Violet couldn't be here."
"Yeah. She hates fireworks."
"I knew it was you! Your the girl from town!"
"Oh no, I sometimes go to town in disguise."
"What ever." They went back to the castle. The Prince didn't let him know but he was in love.
Mango on the other hand was extremely mad. She had to find away to get rid of that girl. While they were gone she went through her room and found the magic ball. She went to the guards to get Delta thrown out. But she returned mad and told the king everything. Mango disappeared and started plotting against Delta.
One night, Delta and the Prince were talking about marriage and it was decided. While Delta was away from the room, Pear got into her room and stole the ball. Saiyan wasn't too happy with Lavender and was about to yell when he saw someone else holding the magic ball. "Now you work for me and the first thing I want is to be Queen!"
As Delta and the Prince were walking through the garden the sky grew extremely dark suddenly Saiyan appeared with Mango. "Saiyan! What are you doing?"
With any extremely sad face, "I'm sorry Lav I have a new master now."
Mango stepped forward, "Saiyan! For my second wish, I wish to be the most powerful sorceress in the world!" Saiyan zapped his hand and she became more powerful. "Dear prince, allow me to introduce you to your precious Princess Delta or should I say Lavender!"
After thinking she got rid of Lavender she imprisoned the king and the prince to do what she wanted.
Meanwhile, Lavender, Violet, and Nimbus were making their way back to the castle, when they arrived. Mango was making her final wish, "Saiyan, I wish the prince would fall in love with me."
The prince saw Lavender and started to act, even if he didn't want to. When Mango caught on she and Lavender started to fight. "You will learn the hard way not to fight with the most powerful being in the world."
"Your not all powerful, only Saiyan is!"
"Lav, what are you saying. Shut up!" Saiyan yelled.
Mango turned to Saiyan, "I have my final wish, I wish I was a powerful saiyan as well." Suddenly she started to change as she was about to attack Lavender she was drawn into her own magic ball.
Lavender grabbed the ball, "Now, you will be trapped forever!" She handed the ball to Saiyan and the throw it far away.
Lavender turned to the Prince. "I'm sorry."
She then turned to Saiyan. "I can always make you a princess again."
She looked up at him, "Saiyan, I wish for your freedom."
"Alright one princess...coming..up? My freedom?"
"Saiyan, your free!" Saiyan's ball exploded and he was finally free. Lavender turned to the prince.
The King came in, "I think that law should be changed." The Prince and Lavender looked at the king. "Well I am the king aren't I. The prince may marry whomever he wants."
And they lived happily ever after.
Bulma looked down at Bra who was fast asleep, leaned over gave her a kiss and got up and left. As she closed the door, "I love you Bra."
