"Jasmine has soft black hair and beautiful sparkling eyes. Aw, she could never fall for a guy like me."
"Aladdin, that's not true! Right, everyone?" Sora asked.
"A-hyuck! Yeah!"
"Stick your neck out!"
"That's right!"
"Besides, you're handsome."
"Wanna be friends!?" I smiled.
"Oh, stop that...You're embarrassing me..." Aladdin blushed.
"JUST HELP US ALREADY!" Sora cried, trying to keep his head above the quicksand.
"Oops, I almost forgot! Hold on a second..." He pulled out a golden teapot. Well, at least it looked like a teapot. "COME ON OUT, GENIE!"
Purple smoke began to grow from the teapot.
"All right, now for my first wish. SAVE THESE THREE FROM THE QUICKSAND!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" I big blue man with a weird beard and a twig of hair atop his head poofed out. He was honking a horn and cheering happily, "Today's winner is...ALADDIN! CONGRATULATIONS! Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted! The one, the only GENIE OF THE LAMP!"
"DO YOUR INTRODUCTION LATER!"
"Wish Number One, coming right up! Snap of the fingers and boom!"
"I'M SAVED!" I threw my hands in the air. "I BET IT'S 'CAUSE I ATE THAT ANPAN!"
"Thanks. You're a lifesaver," Sora thanked him.
"Caravans hardly ever pass through here. Good thing I happened to pass by. What are you guys doing here, anyway?"
"A-hyuck! We jumped off our Gummi Ship and got caught in the quicks--"
Donald jumped to cover Goofy's mouth with both of his hands, even though it was pretty much already too late.
"Aladdin, what're you doing out here?" Sora changed the subject. "In this desert..."
"Me? Hunting legendary treasure. Just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders. That's where I found this lamp!" He held it out.
Lamp...? Didn't lamps have lightbulbs?
"And I'm here to grant my master any three wishes! ♥ Please call me Genie. ♥ So, Master...What'll you have for wish Number Two?"
"You can make any wish come true?" Aladdin asked.
"Well, there are a few exceptions...So, what'll it be?"
"Hmm...How about making me a fabulously wealthy Prince?"
"Oooh! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Wait a minute!" Aladdin stopped him, something better appearing in his mind.
"Huh?"
"I think I'll put that on hold until we reach Agrabah. Then I want to become a Prince...so that I can propose to Jasmine..."
"WAY TO GO, ALADDIN!" we cheered.
"Come on, lay off..."
"No problem!" Genie answered. "That'll give me more time to enjoy the fresh air! Breathe in, breathe out..."
"Guess you don't get out much, huh?"
"Comes with the job," he replied solemnly. "Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty-bitty living space. It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison! I'm lucky to see the light of day every century or two..."
"That's tough..." Sora frownd.
"...Say, Genie! What if I use my last wish...to free you from the lamp?"
"You'd do that? That's so kind of you, even if you don't really mean it..."
Aladdin turned to us. "Are you guys going to Agrabah, too? It's a little far from here, but...Oh! If you ask Genie, it'll only take a minute!"
"Um, I don't think that's a very smart thing for you to use your wish on, Aladdin...Think before you wish..." Sora cocked an eyebrow.
"Skirreeheen!"
A flying rug came shooting over the golden sand of the desert, knocking Sora into next week.
I rushed to help him up. "I thought the Anpan would help you. Sorry, Sora!" I apologized.
"ABU!"
A cute monkey began to crawl around on Aladdin. "This here...is my partner, Abu. And that's Mister Magic Carpet. Hey, Abu, knock it off!"
Sora hopped on the carpet, trying to stay balanced. "Great! We can ride this to Agrabah!"
"SKREEHEE! KREE HOO HOO SKREEREE!"
..:::..
"Hey!" I waved. "My name's Amai! Can I have that bread, please?"
The women handed it over with the exchange of some munny.
"Thanks!" I smiled. "Let's be friends, okay?"
I continued to walk through the busy street, stopping to buy fruits. Nope, never vegetables. They were seriously evil. I felt sweat trickle doing my forehead, and I screamed.
"EWWW! I'M GETTING NASTY! It's so hot out here!" I stopped, spotting a woman in comfortable-looking clothes. "HEYYY! MY NAME'S AMAI! Let's be friends! Um, where can I find clothes like that?"
She giggled, lifting her index finger to a shop not far from where we were. "Have a good day, now."
"You, too! Bye, friend!"
..:::..
"SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING!" I screamed, barging into the empty store. "But I need clothes!" I cried. "I'm getting this dirty stuff on me because I have this long-sleeved shirt!" I waved my extra long sleeves around.
"It's no problem. Come. What's your favorite color?"
"BLUE! Or pink...I DON'T KNOW!" I buried my face in my hands. "I'M SORRY!"
She laughed. "It's okay. We'll work it out."
..:::..
I came prancing up to Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin. I don't know how I found them all the way up here, but I did.
"Please! Take me with you to this different world!" Aladdin pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but we can't. That's just the way it is. It would be meddling too much."
Aladdin sighed. "Oh well, I guess you have your own reason."
"I'm sorry," Sora apologized.
"Poor thing..."
"Don't be so depressed, Master!" Genie patted him on the back. "Earth to Al--Hello? You still have one wish left. Look, just say the word. Ask me to find Jasmine for me."
"But, Genie..." Aladdin looked down at the lamo. "Okay, here's my final wish. I wish...for your freedom, Genie."
"What?" Genie gasped. The golden bracelets around his wrists broke. "Why, Al...?"
"Hey. A deal's a deal, Genie."
"I never thought you actually mean that..." Genie grabbed the man, choking the life out of him with a hug. "You're my best friend!"
"We'll fine Jasmine," Sora assured him. "So hold on tight!"
"Yeah!" I smiled, giving him a thumbsup.
"Here, take this." Genie held the lamp out. "I broke free from the lamp's spell...but you can rub this lamp anytime you need my help. I want to help you rescue my best friend's girlfriend!"
"Okay, thanks!"
"WOO!" I cheered.
Sora turned to me, quickly covering his eyes. "A-Amai!?"
I flapped the blue veils around my arm like a bird. "Yeah?"
"What're you wearing!?"
"I don't know, but I like it!" I hopped around. "Are we leaving?"
"AS SOON AS YOU CHANGE!"
"You're mean." I frowned.
"No! I'm concerned!"
"Oh...Well, okay, then!"
