~ Chapter 3: Girl Talk ~
Y/N lies there on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, she heard a knock on a window. She comes over and opens it to see Aladdin on a carpet with a smile on his face. She scoffs and was about to close the window on him.
(This is where my favorite part begins.)
"Wait! Let me explain."
"You won't talk me out of this, Aladdin. I'm going to close the window on you if you don't get out. I'm not in a mood."
"Alright. I'll leave you alone. Bye."
Carpet flies Aladdin away as he gives her a wave. This surprised her.
"Uh, okay.."
Y/N was about to close the window when Aladdin came back.
"But I do wanted to let you know that Iago helped me and Jasmine mend things out."
She raised her eyebrow.
"He did?"
Jasmine pops out from behind Aladdin.
"Yep. It was all thanks to him I realize I can't stay mad at him if I still love him."
"Wow... That's awfully nice of him."
Iago flies up to her.
"Why thank you, sweetheart! You should talk to Aladdin. He really means well."
Y/N looks at Aladdin, feeling unsure.
"Come on, sis. Bring it in." Aladdin said, bringing out his arms.
Y/N turned away from him.
"No."
"Okay, but maybe this will change yourmind. Hit it, Genie!"
Genie happily turns into a DJ and plays a beat music. Aladdin begins dancing.
"First, I'm gonna loosen up these ancient joints!"
Y/N sees where this is going.
"No. Please don't."
"I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that I kept a secret from you
It hadn't been on my mind
I just thought I'd do the right thing"
"Stop!" Y/N tried not to smile, but her mouth kept going up.
"And now you're in your room
And you won't give me a chance
You won't give me a chance"
"Okay, okay! Just stop!"
Aladdin stopped singing and dancing as Genie turned off the music. Y/N smiled and hugged her brother.
"Oh, I can't stay mad at you. I know you mean well. But please be careful who you trust."
"Don't worry, sis."
"Yay! All that's left is making up with the Sultan!" Genie cheered, bringing out fireworks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Y/N was walking around the palace when she sees Iago goes over to Jasmine's room, where Aladdin is speaking to her.
"I can't explain it, Jasmine. I think we can trust Iago."
"Well...then I guess I can give him a chance."
Y/N comes over and pokes Iago, scaring him.
"You okay?"
"Me? Oh, sure! I'm fine!"
"You sure? You look like you saw a ghost."
"Yeah, I just uh... need to go."
Iago begins to sneak past the door, which left her unamused that he's not good at hiding. Aladdin sees Iago sneaking around.
"Iago?"
Iago, seeing that he has been spotted, stops and turns around to speak to Aladdin.
"Well...I...I was just thinking.....um...perhaps it's time you patched facts up with the Sultan. He might enjoy....a nice scenic carpet ride?"
"That's a good idea." Jasmine smiled.
"And I'll bring Genie. He was a big hit with the Sultan." Aladdin agreed.
Iago looks frantic about it.
"No, no, no!"
He quickly composes himself.
"I mean, uh...Genie's...he's too flashy! He's too loud! You'll never get a word in."
"Good point, Iago. You need some silent time with Father. Let him get to know you."
"Yes! And I...I can take you to the perfect spot." Iago nodded.
This made Y/N concerned with his behavior and the sudden plan he had in mind.
"Great!" Aladdin said.
"C'mon, let's get Father. Just a moment."
Jasmine turns to Iago.
"Iago? This isn't easy for me to say, but I was wrong about you."
She kisses Iago on top of his head. Suddenly, he remembers Jafar's plan.
Iago groans concernedly.
"Wait a second!"
Aladdin turns to him.
"Yes, Iago?"
Iago looks up to see Jafar's evil eyes looking at him. Y/N sees his scared expression and grows more concerned.
"Uh...I'll be along in a moment."
Once they're out of view, except for Y/N, who comes over to him.
"Iago is there something you've been meaning to tell us? You're more scared than I've ever seen you."
Iago really wanted to tell her if it wasn't for Jafar's eyes staring at him deadly as if daring him to do so.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just... not used to this... kindness I've been receiving."
Y/N sits down next to him and pats his head.
"Look I may not trust you a bit, but if there's anything you wanted to talk about, come talk to me. There's nothing wrong with needing someone's help. Being good can feel great."
She gives him a kiss on the head before leaving the room, making Iago more concerned as he wanted her not to leave him here. At that moment, Jafar comes out from wherever he is hiding, putting his hands on Iago and grinning maliciously.
"Excellent."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the afternoon at the palace garden, Jasmine is escorting the Sultan to Carpet, who has Aladdin there, as Iago has arranged a meeting in an undisclosed location for Aladdin to mend his damaged relationship with him.
"Give them a chance, Father." Jasmine pleaded.
"Oh, I'll try, darling." Sultan sighed.
"After you, Your Highness."
Aladdin stretches out his arms and motions for the Sultan to get on Carpet, him and Iago grinning widely. The Sultan, who is yet unhappy with the parrot, gets on and folds his arms. Then Carpet does a loop-de-loop, and his face brightens. Iago gets on Carpet, and Aladdin comes after.
"Alright, Carpet, let's go!"
"Whoopee!" Sultan cheered.
Carpet flies off and heads for parts unknown while Jasmine and Y/N waves them a farewell.
"Have a good time!"
"Be safe!"
"Hey, hey! Clear the road!"
At that moment, Genie comes running down the path to where Jasmine and Y/N stands. Genie is dressed in a sports jersey, Bermuda shorts and a straw hat carrying a blanket, a volleyball, an umbrella, a picnic basket and binoculars, from which Abu comes out.
"Make room for the picnic boys!"
"They already left, Genie." Jasmine and Y/N said in unison.
Genie gasps at the mention of being without Aladdin.
"Without us?!"
"Without us?" Abu repeated.
"No problem! I'll catch up in a flash!"
Genie tries to fly off, but Jasmine stops him.
"But wait! Without us, as well. Aladdin needs some time alone with Father to patch facts up."
Genie turns to Abu seriously.
"You know what this means, monkey boy?"
He then becomes emotionally.
"More food for us!"
"Oh, boy!" Abu nodded, excited.
Genie throws the picnic basket on the ground, and in an instant, some food appears, which is as follows; a roast chicken, some bread, corn on the cob, a fruit bowl, a hamburger and apple pie. The boys sit down and eat voraciously, stopping only as Jasmine looks disgustedly at their horrible manners while just watches in amusement. Meanwhile, Jasmine yet stares at Genie and Abu. Genie stops eating and brings out the half eaten apples.
"I'm sorry. Did you two want some?"
"Uh... no thanks." Y/N declined kindly.
"I'm...not hungry just now. You two go ahead." Jasmine said.
The girls walks away, and leaves the boys to eat their food again. Jasmine takes Y/N's hand and begins to jog.
"Come! I wanna show you something!"
"To where?"
"Somewhere no one else knows."
Confused, she just followed the princess. Once they're out of everyone's view, Jasmine moves some bushes to the side and gestures her to follow her as she went through with Y/N last. Y/N looks up and was in awe to see such beautiful secret garden full of flowers she had ever seen.
Jasmine smirked at her expression.
"Impressed, huh?"
"I have never seen something so amazing!"
"This where I go for me to be myself. I bring along with Rajah all the time."
"It looks perfect to hangout where no one can bother you."
"That's a good reason I brought you here. I've never have some girl talk for like... forever!"
"Girl, you've brought the right friend."
"Come on, there's some cake I have asked the baker to cook."
Y/N's eyes sparkled.
"Cake? Yay!"
Her and Jasmine head through the hallway of flowers towards the table where there's some fruits, sweets, a cake, and two golden cups full of drinks. A few hours later, the girls are chatting peacefully, laughing with each other, plates and cups empty, etc.
"So, you happy that you're assigned to become a royal guard?" Jasmine asked.
"Very. It's my dream. But..."
"But?"
"I feel... like I'm missing something."
"What's it that you're missing?"
"I... don't know. I got a palace to live, my true love Razoul, the position of the royal guard, you, Sultan, Al, Abu, True, Genie, Carpet, maybe Iago. I just can't put my finger on it."
At the same time, Razoul is thinking the same thing as he stares at the black case while he's guarding the palace doors. Y/N starts the song as she walks over to the flowers and starts picking them with soft flexible stems. Jasmine follows as she too does the same, singing along with her.
As she sings, Y/N begins to pick three flowers with longer stems and cross their stems over each other as shown. She then braid the stems together by taking the stem from the outside right and placing it between the other two. Then take the stem from the outside left and placing it over the other two. Jasmine follows, enjoying this experience as they place each other's favorite flowers by their ear.
Continuing her song, she continue in this fashion for about an inch, or the width of a flower head, add a flower by laying a flower so the stem rests on top of the center stem. They keep braiding, holding the new flower stem together with the center stem. They continue braiding until they've gone about the width of a flower head.
Then add another flower as the girls did above. Continue this way until the chain is the desired size. As the song comes to an end, once their chain is the desired length, braid the remaining ends and then tuck them in near the start to make a crown. Then, they're finally finished with their very own flower crown filled with their favorite flowers and placed it on their head.
They look at each other and giggled.
"That was a fun experience. But the way I see it, you'll find what's missing. You just need to wait for something to fully complete you." Jasmine advised.
"You think so?"
"I believe so. You should make this flower crown for Razoul."
This made her blush.
"That's not a bad idea. It could put his mood down after that Iago incident. Thanks, Jasmine. And thanks for the talk. We should talk more."
Y/N stands up and picks a few flowers for her to make before heading off. Jasmine smiles as she leaves.
"I look forward to it."
What they didn't know is that darkness has been lurking within the walls as Jafar watches Y/N leave and then smirks before disappearing.
