Alibaba texted Aladdin Saturday morning asking her to meet him for dinner at a new buffet on the far side of town. She texted him back, saying she would be there as soon as she finished learning the choreography for another music video for a song on her new album. He told her to let him know when she was done for the day and he would meet her there.

After several hours of choreography and blocking she was tired, but she was looking forward to seeing Alibaba. She texted him as soon as she had the chance, then asked Sharrkan to take her to the restaurant.

When they meet at the restaurant, Alibaba begins the usual information sharing. He tells Aladdin about all the drama going on at school. It seemed like Morgiana and Hakuryuu were getting along very well, the popular kids were still causing drama, the schools favorite math teacher and the head of the history department were dating but trying to hide it from the students. She was happy to hear that Alibaba had aced his big language presentation and the report on ancient civilizations. They talked like that for almost three hours, not leaving until the restaurant was closing. Alibaba drove her home and left, promising to see her again soon.

She fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. She hadn't bothered changing clothes or taking off her makeup.

The next morning while she was getting ready she got a message from Jafar. He said Sinbad wanted her to come talk to him at the office before going to the studio to record the first part of the music video.

When she went in to see Sinbad he was grinning.

"I have a modeling job that I think will work for you."

"Really?" Aladdin was surprised, she had pretty much given up on doing anything but singing.

"Yes. This particular fashion line is geared to sell to people a little older then you, but I think it will be okay, and since you've lost weight recently these designs should look good on you." He passed her a folder filled with images of the clothing designs. They were skimpy. Aladdin frowned. There was very little left to the imagination in these clothes, they were barely a step up from sexy underwear. He had to be kidding. She was sixteen for crying out loud.

"Don't you think this is a bit too risqué? I'm not sure I'm comfortable showing this much skin."

"Don't worry about it. This will be perfect. Why else did you work so hard to lose the weight? You should flaunt what you have now."

She didn't like this. She wasn't comfortable. "I don't know Sinbad."

"Why are you hesitating? I thought you wanted to expand your work base."

"I do, I just don't think I'm comfortable doing it by showing myself in cloths like these."

"Aladdin, this isn't good. If you aren't willing to try things then you won't make it very far."

"At least let me talk to Ugo about it and think it over. I really don't think I want to do this."

She left after that, not willing to listen to anymore of his persuasion. She didn't care if it was rude. He kept asking more and more of her. She had done a ridiculous amount of work since submitting her new album. It had been almost three weeks since then. She was doing "previews" which would be leaked to get people excited and anticipating the release. And she had to record one of the songs several different times, first with only the piano, then with only the guitar, then only lyrics, then with the normal set of instruments. She was doing music videos for all of the new songs. It was all taking so much time. Sinbad was keeping her really busy.

She spent the day working, keeping herself going with the promise that tomorrow she was free to do whatever she wanted, probably study.

Short Chapter, I know. I'm sorry. I'm working some things out with the storyline. This was originally longer but I decided to leave part of it for a later time because I think it makes more sense with a later setting.

Anyway, please visit the poll before I take it down.

Don't forget to review! :D

Until Next Time!
