Our dear friends have been looking for presents and preparing festivals all day.

Now the sun hung low in the sky, just barely peaking over the landscape.

Stores were running low on supplies and customers became more and more scarce.

Any and everyone who had gotten presents were now wrapping them and hiding them in the best place possible.

This included Jafar. He was in his office, blankly staring at the piles of paperwork that stood before him.

He had long ago bid Aladdin farewell as he has went to his room to wrap presents themselves.

He was happy to had helped Aladdin, but in doing so he was seriously off schedule with the paperwork.

The freckled face boy sighed and took a seat in his chair. He quickly wrapped the presents he had gotten everyone and placed them in a drawer.

He took his pen in hand and began hurriedly scribbling on the papers.

Some were contracts, others were business offers for trade, some were even letters asking for the chance to meet up.

Jafar's eyes just had to keep glancing and writing.

He was alone in his room, nothing but his thoughts and the sound of his writing to accompany him.

Then suddenly, he felt a hand touch his own. Not the one loosely hanging at his side due to it cramping from writing too much.

No, it was the hand that was reaching out for another piece of paper.

Now, Jafar had long ago quit his days as an assassin. Unfortunately for the poor person who had snuck up on him, his killer reflexes were still there.

In seconds the person was pinned to the floor. In Jafar's hand was one of his rope darts, which were at his victims neck.

A shocked pair of golden eyes stared at him. Amusement replaced the expression immediately when he saw Jafar's face.

Jafar had quickly gotten up and was apologizing repeatedly to Sinbad.

" I'm so sorry! You just caught me off guard and-"

" No need to apologize, Jafar. It was my fault for sneaking up on you." Sinbad waved it off, laughing heartily to himself.

Jafar sheepishly smiled in return and took a seat on his chair.

" Well, what brings you here Sin? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the upcoming party?" Jafar took a quick glance outside and saw the sun was barely even there.

That meant people would be attending the part in exactly 1 hour.

Sinbad shrugged and took a seat next to Jafar. " Well you wouldn't be at the party if I didn't help. Besides, anything beats helping Pitsi...." Sinbad shuddered.

Jafar nodded in agreement. Last year he himself had ended up with Pitsi and ended up passing out at the end of it.

" So, I'm going to help you. Then we'll party!" Sinbad grinned. Jafar smiled back.

" Sinbad doing paperwork? I never thought I'd lived to see the day!"

" I suppose miracles do happen." Jafar chuckled.

He took half of his workload and placed it in front of Sinbad. The two began working in blissful silence together.

Meanwhile down hall was literally anything but peaceful. Everyone was everywhere as they made the final preparations for the whole thing.

Even Aladdin, Morgiana, and Alibaba were helping. Pitsi was barking orders, maids were tripping over themselves to complete the tasks, and the generals were all lending a hand.

Except Sharrkan and Yamraiha, who were arguing about who could clean better.

" I'm the better cleaner! I'm also prettier than you!" Yamraiha yelled.

" You, pretty? As if-"

" IF YOU TWO LOVEBIRDS DON'T STOP FLIRTING I'LL MAKE YOU KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE!"

This made the two back into a corner while awakwardly cleaning.

" She's scary..." Aladdin shuddered. He stared at Pitsi with fear written all over his face.

Everyone nodded in agreement but kept working anyways.

" Aladdin, how was shopping for the presents?" Alibaba asked Aladdin.

" It was fun! Jafar helped me! I got you and Morg a very nice present!" Aladdin laughed.

" That's nice Aladdin. Me and Morgiana went shopping to find a present for you, I think you'll like it." Alibaba grinned.

" I hope you two like the presents that I give you two." Morgiana smiled nervously.

" Of course we will, Morg! It's the thought that counts."

Aladdin stopped what he was doing and hugged her. She hugged the young boy back, somewhat surprised that he had hugged her.

Alibaba stared at Morgiana with a small blush on his cheeks.

" She's so nice and sweet. She's come a long way since I've met her..." Alibaba thought to himself.

A small smile crept onto his lips as he thought about everything he and his friends had gone through.

He was happy to have met them. They changed his life for the better. Now he had someone he loved and someone he felt like was his little brother.

Sharrkan noticed Alibaba staring at Morgiana and came over to him.

" Got a crush on a certain lady, huh?" He teased. " W-what? N-no! I don't know what you're talking about!" Alibaba stuttered.

Sharrkan continued to mess with Alibaba, who was getting more and more flustered with everything comment.

" Hey Alibaba, why's your face so red?" Morgiana asked. She stared at Alibaba with an expression that matched a confused puppy's.

" Yeah, Alibaba, why's your face red?" Aladdin asked. He had noticed Alibaba's face had gotten even more red when he looked at Morgiana.

" It's nothing!" Sharrkan smiled at both Aladdin and Morgiana. Then he turned back to Alibaba and said something that wasn't audible to anyone but the blonde.

" HEY!" Alibaba yelled. He shoved Sharrkan away. Sharrkan simply laughed heartily.

" What are you laughing at?" Yamraiha asked Sharrkan. As usual, the two got into a fight in seconds.

" Why do you care so much, you poorly dressed mermaid!?"

" I could ask you the same, you stupid muggle!"

" WhAt'S tHaT sUppOsEd to Mean?!"

Both Yamraiha and Sharrkan had gotten louder and closer to each other with each insult, and it was annoying everyone.

" SHUT UP AND KISS ALREADY LOVEBIRDS!" Everyone yelled at the two.

The two immediately stopped arguing and got as far away from each other as could be.

After this, everything was ready for the party. Jafar and Sinbad has finished their work and everything was prepared.

~~~

" Welcome one and all to the Christmas Eve festival!" Sinbad greeted.

Cheers of many Sindrian women rang through the air at seeing their 'handsome' king.

" We hope you enjoy yourselves." Jafar smiled at everyone.

A smaller, but large number of girls cheered at seeing Jafar. Lots of them thought he was cute.

" So with that said, let's party!" Sharrkan yelled. Roars of excitement rang through the air, along with loud music.

It just might've been the most festive and fun thing Aladdin had ever saw in his life.

Despite the cold chilly air, many girls had volunteered to both sing and dance. Friends and lovers danced with one another and talked for hours. Many feasted on fish and drank to their hearts desires.

" Hey, Alibaba, I think Morg is about to dance!" Aladdin pointed at the stage.

There were groups of girls doing a certain dance with very festive music playing.

Morgiana was one of them.

Alibaba's has dropped as he saw her dance. He had already seen it, but he could never get over how beautiful she looked when she twirled.

How free she looked when she did flips in the air. How happy she looked as she let the music guide her.

It always managed to hypnotize him.

The dance soon ended and Morgiana walked towards the two boys.

" If you like her, then you should show her. Stop being so scared."

Alibaba clenched his fist from nervousness as he thought about the words Sharrkan had said.

" I'm going to do it. Tonight's the night." He decided to himself. Butterflies appeared in his stomach as Morgiana came closer.

" You were great Morg!" Aladdin clapped cheerfully. " Thank you Aladdin."

" Y-you're very pretty M-Morgiana!" Alibaba stated nervously.

Morgiana blushes slightly and muttered a small 'thank you'.

As Alibaba continued to compliment Morgiana, Aladdin stared at them curiously.

He looked at their ruhk and noticed that it was a pinkish hue. He decided that it was time.

He smiled. " Hey guys, can you follow me?"

Before they could answer, he hopped off the chair and began walking towards the palace.

Morgiana and Alibaba looked at each other before following the blue haired child.

They eventually ended up at the door. They took a step inside and heard Aladdin laughing. He grinned at them and pointed above them.

Alibaba's eyes widened. " A mistletoe..."

Morgiana has never personally seen one, but she had in fact heard of one and what they were used for.

She gulped and looked at Alibaba.

Alibaba decided if he was going to do this, then he might as well tell her.

" Morgiana... I've liked you for a long time. I'm sorry..." Alibaba took a step closer to Morgiana and kissed her on the cheek.

Then he immediately backed away. He noticed that Morgiana's cheeks were extremely red and that her eyes were wide. 

" I like you too Alibaba..." Morgiana's voice was close to a whisper. She was extremely embarrassed and flustered.

The two hugged each other. They decided that they'd focus on their relationship in a second, for right now they needed to get Aladdin back.

So, they chased the laughing boy. When they caught them, they tickled him as punishment.

A few more couples were established this night, but that's for part two.
