Author's Note:
Although this is a crossover between "Codename: Kids Next Door" and "Aladdin," please know that it won't feature the title character or Princess Jasmine, for the main characters of this story are the remaining operatives of Sector V.
Also, this story goes out the men who steal the latter with their comedic charisma; Robin Williams, the voice of the Genie, and Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of Iago the parrot.
What follows is what it would look like if it was an actual movie. So, just work with me on this.
Peddler:
Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
Arabian nights like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights 'neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes
Ah, salaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Please, please, come closer.
(Camera zooms in hitting peddler in face)
Too close, a little too close.
(Camera zooms back out to CU)
There. What you are about to see is a story of mystery, of enchantment...and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on sale today! Come on down Heh, heh. Look at this! Yes! Combination hookah and coffee maker, also makes Julienne fries.
Will not break...(taps it on table)...will not...(it falls apart)...it broke.
Ooohhh! Look at this! (Pulls out tupperware) I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen. (Pries it open, makes raspberry sound) Ah, still good.
(Camera begins to pan to right. PEDDLER hurries to catch it.)
Wait, don't go! (Stop pan.) I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think then, you would be most rewarded to consider...this.
(PEDDLER pulls the MAGIC LAMP out from his sleeve.)
Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts.
(Another pan, this one slower to left. Again, PEDDLER rushes to catch up.)
This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course the lives of four youngsters. Now, like this lamp, there tykes are more than what they seemed. Diamonds in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale?
(PEDDLER pours shiny sand from the lamp into his hand.)
It begins on a dark night...
(PEDDLER throws sand into the sky, where it forms a starry nightscape.)
...where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.
