It only took them a few hours for the group to have arrived back at the palace. Aboard carpet the three humans were on floated into the throne.

''Your majesty I hope you can forgive me for taking off.'' Naruto said hopping off the magical flying carpet.

''There you are my boy. We've been looking all over for you!'' The sultan said as his eyes fell upon the carpet and his inhabitants. ''My word...what is this? And who are they?''

Thankfully Naruto was able to think quickly on his feet to explain his new arrival. ''These are important members of my entourage." uum...associates. The captain of my guard Aladdin and the head of my scouts Sadira.'' he said introducing the two who had been donned in fancy robes prior to arriving back in the city. . They were wearing robes similar to palace guards, but more customized with fancy layer and colors consisted of blue and silver. ''I hope you don't mind. My adviser insisted that I didn't travel alone, but in my impatience I took on ahead with faith they would be showing up not too long after.''

''Aah a wise decision on the part of your advisior. The desert is ripe with bandits and unsavory characters. I'll have the maid fix up some spare guest rooms.'' He said as his focused was then brought to the flying device as Aladdin helped Sadira off. '' ...by Allah, this is quite a remarkable device.'' He tugs at the tassels, and they tug his mustache. ''I don't suppose I might...'' he asked Naruto who glanced to Aladdin.

''You don't mind do you Aladdin?''

''Of course not your majesty, allow me.'' He said helping the Sultan up onto the carpet, and he plops down. Jafar pins the carpet down on the floor with the staff.

''Sire, I must advise against this...'' Jafar finally spoke up. The more favor the prince of Whirlpool curried the harder it would be for him to pull off his plan.

''...Oh button up, Jafar. Learn to have a little fun.'' He kicks away the staff and as a result Carpet and the Sultan fly away. Iago, who was standing on the head of the staff, falls down, repeatedly bopping the staff with his beak as he descends. Sultan and Carpet fly high into the ceiling, then begin a dive-bomb attack, flying under Abu, scaring him.

''Can you believe it...we're in the palace? Were finally in the palace?'' Sadira whispered, full of restrained excitement.

''I know...I told you Sadira that one day we wouldn't be street rats forever. Once we find out what to do with our second wish we could go about living the rest of our lives in luxury.''

''I didn't recall you mentioning bringing anyone when you arrived.''

''Must have slipped my mind,'' Naruto answered Jafar's question with an uncaring shrug. ''I am sure the long and boring story of our travel is a tail best kept for engagement parties at the dinner table.'' Naruto said with a smirk, but Jafar was not smiling.

''Try me.'' Iago lands on the staff.

''Look out, Polly!'' Sultan shouted as they all duck in time as the Carpet whizzes centimeters over their heads. Carpet returns and the Sultan chases Iago around the room.

''Hey, watch it. Watch it with the dumb rug!'' Iago screeched as the Carpet zooms underneath Iago, who sighs, wipes his brow, and crashes into a pillar. He crashes to the floor, and he was momentarily stunned and dizzied. The Sultan then begins his final approach.

''Out of the way, I'm coming in to land. Jafar, watch this!'' The sultan said as they finally came to a swift landing.

''Spectacular, your highness.''' he said in a rather dead panned tone.

''Oh, lovely. Yes, I do seem to have a knack for it.'' Carpet walks over to Abu dizzily over to him and promptly collapsed onto the little monkey who screeched and chatter under the rug. ''Aah yes this fellow would make a fine son-in-law don't you think?'' The sultan whispered to Jafar. ''And considering Jasmine hasn't run him off yet I think we hit the jackpot."

''Sire I don't trust him. He's from the eastern nation and you hear how those people can be. Always fighting each other and starting wars.''

''Nonsense and I won't here none of that drabble from you Jafar. And the one thing I pride myself on Jafar, I'm an excellent judge of character.''

''Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure...not!'' Iago grumbled to himself.

''Speaking of which your grace, where is the Princess by the way?'' Naruto asked as he looked around until the Sultan cleared his voice.

''I'm afraid my daughter isn't in high spirits because of someone jumping the gun.'' The sultan said sending an annoyed glance in Jafar's direction. ''She hasn't left her room all day. Maybe you can do something to cheer her up my boy. In fact I'm sure you can...now hurry on along now.'' The sultan said pushing Naruto in the direction of Jasmine's room.

''But what about...''

''I'll make sure your followers are well taken care of.'' He said as Naruto relented as he was lead to Jasmine's room.

''Jasmine...hey Jasmine are you...'' He was cut off as Rajah jumped out from behind one of the curtains and growled menacingly.

''Whoa...down boy! I don't mean any harm.'' He tried to reassure the tiger as it walked around Naruto as if he was sizing him up.

''Rajah...it's okay,'' Jasmine's voiced echoed as the Tiger stood down. Jasmine entered the room from her balcony. ''Prince Naruto...I...I thought you left.'' she said not meeting his eyes.

''Of course not...my business isn't done and I wouldn't have left without saying goodbye.'' he said massaging his arm. ''I heard you were upset. What happened?''

''It's horrible!'' she cried out as she sat on her head and looked away. ''Jafar...he...he took the boy from the market and he had him executed and it's all my fault.''

''Al?'' Naruto asked with raised eyebrow. ''He's not dead. He's alive and out there right now with Sadira.'' He gestured to behind him as Jasmine's head snapped up.

''A-Are you serious?''

''Yeah he might have been scheduled to executed and one of the guards said it happened to cover their asses, but he's definitely alive. Apparently he had managed to make his escape.'' he insured her as Jasmine let out a breath of relief.

''Thank Allah.'' she said placing a hand on her chest.

''So I'm hoping you and me could talk. Get to know each other better?'' It couldn't hurt. Especially with the likelihood that he was starting to accept this engagement.

''Really? And why is that?'' she asked, wondering if the prince was going to show his true colors like all the others.

''Well by your reaction you care for people so you're kind and pretty feisty from what I hear...and quite beautiful if I may say.'' he said as Jasmine stood up and her eyes softened.

'' Hmm. I'm rich too, you know.'' She added with an alluring gaze, trying to decipher his intentions.

''Hhm I suppose. I'm kind of rich too so...'' he said with a shrug. He lived most of his life without money and while being rich was pretty freaking sweet now it wasn't like it brought ultimate happiness.

Jasmine was slightly stunned as most became all glossy eyed over the mention of riches.

''The daughter of a sultan.''

''Hhm that's nice. I mean you probably know a lot of things about proper etiquette and ruling so you would be a great ruler to your people.'' He added, once more coming off rather uncaring.

''A fine prize for any prince to marry.'' Jasmine tried again as she wouldn't let herself be swayed by words.

''You really see yourself as a prize?'' He asked with a raised eyebrow and scratched his head. ''That's kind of weird, but I guess I should respect that if it's a cultural thing and all. I can't say I have the best knowledge of western culture."

''Okay what's your game?'' she asked with an annoyed huff as she rested her hands on her hips. She thought that the blond before her was toying with her with his clueless act.

''What are you talking about?''

''Don't think I haven't met your kind before? Princes, every stuffed shirt, swaggering, peacock who cares about my money and my looks instead of my mind; not even caring about who I am as a person. So you can go jump off a balcony.'' she said as she turned and walked away.

''Ok fine...'' he said as Jasmine quickly spun.

''What!?

''Well you should choose instead of being forced to marry me because I'm a prince who hasn't up and left. See you then.'' he said as he back flipped over the edge.

''No!'' Jasmine cried out and went to it as Naruto poked his head over the edge.

''Need something?'' He asked as a look of an amazement formed on her face.

''How are you doing that?'' She looks over the edge and sees the Carpet.

''Magic carpet.'' Huh...I guess the others must have gone out on that double date they talked about and carpet stayed behind. Least I won't have to explain how I could stick to the walls.

''It's lovely. '' Carpet takes Jasmine's hand with a tassel.

''Yeah he is an interesting little guy. So did you mean what you said? Am I just another swaggeirng peacock?'' he asked as his face dropped slightly. ''I think of myself as more of a mischievous fox you know. Or a proud and bold lion.'' he said with a pout.

''I...I'm sorry.'' Jasmine apologized sincerely. ''I'm just so used to one note jerks and two-faced scammers who seemed to be only interested in my family's wealth. I...I guess I found myself becoming jaded over time and I shouldn't have taken that out on you.'' She couldn't believe she had made an assumption about this man without getting to know him. When had she become so jaded?

''Hhm...I guess I can understand that. You've been stuck in this palace all your life so you never got the chance to find yourself. So come with me? Come see the world with me?'' He asked extending a hand.

''Is it safe?''

''Yeah...don't you want to go out and have a bit of fun?''

A sly grin formed on Jasmine's face. ''Yes...I'll join you.'' she said as Naruto pulled her up on to the carpet. Carpet faltered slightly causing Jasmine to trip and fall into Naruto's arms. ''Hang on tight okay?'' He said as Carpet dropped slightly then slowly took off into the night sky.
