Aladdin was in deep sleep when an old associate knocked on his door. The life of thievery had tired him out, he had succumbed to living in parts of the LV, hiding from the world. Just him in seclusion, snoozing away...with dreams of a beautiful princess!

Where is he? Wake him up!

Not a light sleeper, Aladdin kept sleeping till he was content with his dream. Few days later another friend paid him a visit, this time partially waking up Aladdin. He rolled out of his bed, looked at the door with screams of "She's looking for you in Philly! Wake up". He looked over at Abu, ever mischievous...Aladdin snatched a banana from him, had a bite and returned to his comfortable bed. Till the moment came and he wondered out his room into the halls of the Flooded Whispers. On his way there he paid a brief visit to Water, who knew about Aladdins routine. She knew he was only up for some food and bathroom, and would be asleep again soon. Only this time a phone rang and to Waters surprise it was for Aladdin.

"Yes hes up, hang on let me put him on".

Aladdin still half asleep yawns and answers

"Whos this? Oh Hey! How goes it? Oh big things for you is that right? Congrats friend. No! No! Please dont send the car. Im going back to sleep!"

The voice from the other side of the phone kept insisting, and eventually Aladdin agreed. He went up to his room, packed up some clothes, grabbed Abu and made his way down to Water's office again. "Hey Boss I am going to be headed out to Philly for a few days. If there is any business you may need taken care of there. Please let me know". Water looked back at him

"The fact that your finally up is enough...go do your thing. I will see you when you get back". 

Aladdin hopped on his carpet and made his way to Philly to visit his dear friend Valencia, who was RHM to Luis_Patangeli at the time. Aladdin walked up the HQ and eventually made his way in. Had been a while since he had been in the city of brotherly love. The smell of fine Cheesesteaks had him distracted, but not enough to keep him from finding Valencia. He walked into the HQ and asked around for Valencia from the people inside the HQ.

"She's upstairs on the roof, we hear she gets good thinking done up there" 

Aladdin grabbed his belongings and headed for the roof. As Aladdin made his way up the long staircase, he finally gets to the top and opens the door to find no one on the roof. He peeks about a little and then wonders behind the entrance of the staircase. Still nothing, but the cold breeze in his face. Then he sees the carpet point downward from the top of the roof, Aladdin walks over and looks down. It was her, Valencia, sitting on the ledge of the building just looking out into the city. Aladdin makes a little noise to catch her attention. She looks up

"Hey, you finally made it. Come join me".

Aladdin jumps off the roof and carefully makes his way onto the ledge. They sit next to each other as Val starts whispering softly.

"You this city out there, they talked about it a lot, our ancestors did. We come from here, no matter where life has taken us in our route here."

Not ready for a history lesson Aladdin had this look on his face. He leans back a little and tries to relax, sitting this high up on a building. Not that he was afraid of heights...flying a carpet certainly mitigated any of those fears. But just the reason he was here in Philly made him a little uncomfortable at first. He had not wondered here in a long time.

"You see that building right there" Valencia Interrupts Aladdin in his thoughts. "Thats the building right there, I think I am going to offer the owner an offer he cant refuse. Its perfect for a whiskey company". Aladdin intrudes. Whiskey? Since when did you start drinking whiskey? I remember you being a wine kinda girl. Val cuts him off "Who said anything about drinking whiskey? Its good business and besides, Ive developed quite a taste for crowns and corks in my Philly endeavors. So that brings me to this point. Are you with me then?" Aladdin looked down and out to the city and then looked back at Valencia, I need some time to think. Give me a couple of days. I will get back to you.

Aladdin gave her a hug, hopped on his carpet and went to go find a place to sleep, as that was his favorite thing. He snoozed quite a bit, a day went by and then two. And then bang all of Philly was full of sirens. There was gun fire everywhere. There were buildings on fire. There were mobsters flying in and out. Aladdin a little shocked, ran down stairs from his room that he had rented. Whats going on he asked one of the men in a long black trench coat. "Its happening the war has begun, the turf war has started from Philly all the way to the west coast and back". Just as the mobster finished his sentence. Bang someone shot him from the back. Aladdin not one to think much at moments like this, shot back a couple of shots and ran upstairs to the comfort of his room. Gripping his gun tight, just incase someone would come up looking for him. The gun fire halted for a little bit. He grabbed his belongings, hopped on the carpet and made his way back to South Philly, where the Patangeli HQ was. 

As they touched down on the roof, he walked down the staircase in the HQ, there was quite a bit of hustle bustle going on. Screams of "The God Father in OCD is down" that took Aladdin by surprise. He stopped someone in the HQ and asked. Where is Valencia? "Dont know, she picked up a ton of artillery and was headed out. She said something about making an offer someone couldn't refuse"

Aladdin knew right away where she was headed. He made his way out to the building they had peeked at earlier, but there was no one there. Aladdin hoped he would see his dear friend again. He found the owner, he asked him for a room and went and crashed upstairs...going back to his sleep. Then some hours later. There is some heavy banging on the door

"Get the fuck out! Were cleaning out the building you bum". At first Aladdin wasn't sure, grabbed his gun and opened the door just a crack. Who are you guys? Who do you represent? Men responded "Where with the Patangeli Incorporated, our executive Valencia is buying this place out...and you need to get the fuck outta here".

Partially relieved that his friend had survived, partially worried that these men may shoot him before he even gets to see her next. He musters some courage and puts his weapon away. Opens the door. I mean no harm, I am just visiting from Las Vegas. I represent Flooded Whispers, I request a word with your executive. He puts his hands up as the men grab him and push him down the stairs to where Valencia was sitting on a small desk, next to the owner. Upon seeing Aladdin, she breaks into laughter.

"I never thought I would find you here"

She puts her gun on the table and motions the guards to take the owner outside with his belongings and points at the vacant chair for Aladdin to sit. Relieved Aladdin took a seat. "Were you sleeping again?" Ah yes! What did you expect its my favorite past time. Its all I am good at. See you evacuate buildings, I sleep. Valencia breaks into a laugh.

The guards were a little surprised, they didnt quite comprehend what was going on. Valencias hands were all dark and oily from all the gunfire no doubt from the previous some days. She sends one of the guards to get some towels and a bottle of water. "You want something?" She looks over at Aladdin. Yea a pillow, a bed and some water please. He says with a grim on his face. At this point Valencias face goes from griming to serious. :D to :| "your sleeping days are over Ali! Walk with me" 

"You see the God Father of OCD has been removed. Lots of gun fire went down last couple of night. Parts of Philly have been authed into Detroit and Whoreable has taken over the mantle of Chairman in OCD. I was asked to setup my own HQ and as you remember from our conversation, this was a building I was eyeing all along. So it makes sense that I move in here. There is a bit of problem though. I need your help!"

Amazed Aladdin asked cautiously, what kinda help? She puts her hand on his shoulder pets Abu. "I would love it if you could come be my Right hand Man, I obviously need some good men behind me if I am going to do this right. And who better than you to help me ride this thing out moving forward."

Aladdin knew the moment had come. He had to make a decision, deep down inside he knew he loved sleeping. And the lights of Las Vegas also provided him that comfort of just taking it easy in the desert. But here he was back in the mean streets of Philly where his ancestors had made their bones. And an old friend was asking him to step up. Aladdin looked up and gave Valencia a hug. Give me a couple of days. Let me get back to Las Vegas and have a chat with Water. I owe her a lot for everything I have done so far, from my extensive sleeping to everything else. Wouldn't be right if I didnt sit down and ask her face to face for this promotion/transfer. She's done quite a bit for me. Valencia has a sip of her water and taps Ali's back. "Ok, go have your conversation with Water. If you like, Ill come personally or send a note along. And do get back as soon as possible."

Aladdin hoped on the magic carpet and flew back out to the west coast. Arriving just in time for supper at the Whispers dinner table. He joined the rest of the crew for supper, everyone a bit astonished. Aladdin was always asleep, on rare occasion did the members of the HQ actually see him around. This time he had proper supper, chatted up with the mates and then whispered in Waters ear "Can I have a moment of your time boss?" Water looked at him and said, after desert in my office. As she smiled. Desert was delicious, with every bite Aladdin was trying to figure out in his head how he was going to ask Water for this transfer. He knew she wouldn't say no. But at the same time, he didnt want to let her down either. She had done so much for him. 

The dinner ended and Aladdin followed Water into her office. He waits for the Don to sit down and then takes a seat.

"How was your trip to Philly? I heard there was a lot going on down there. Not going to lie, was a little worried about you. Didnt think you were going to get shot since I doubt they wanted the war to spill into LV. Still though, wars like that make everyone uncomfortable."

Aladdin nodded along and presented her with a gun he had picked up in Philly, a present he had brought back for her. She checked it out and then asked.

"So what is it that you wanted to speak to me about? Whats going on? Did you leave something behind in Philly or something?"

Aladdin musters some courage. And speaks up. Well Don, you know how much I love you. And this great city of Las Vegas. You have done everything for me and all. So its hard for me to find the words to even say this. He takes a moment to gather his thoughts and then speaks quietly. I have a friend in Philly that needs my help. She is to be authed in Philadelphia after these last some wars. She would like for me to go serve for her as her hand if possible. She's good peo....Water cuts him off "So go then!"

Aladdin looked astonished for a second. Water smiles back "Hey, if thats what will make you happy, I am all for it. I would send you to Philly with nothing but blessings if thats the route you want to take. Besides, you may make us look good infront of the East Coast cartels" Water smiles and offers Aladdin a cigar from her collection.

"You seem puzzled whats the problem? To be honest I am just happy that you want to do something else with your life other than sleep. All for this move of yours to the front office". Aladdin gets up and walks over to Water and gives her a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. I love you boss. You have no idea how hard it was for me to say this. And the fact that your behind this makes me so happy. Always remember, I am forever grateful to you for this opportunity. And if at any time you may require anything of me. Please do let me know. I will do everything in my power to deliver for you.

With that Aladdin went up to his room and gathered his things to make his way down to Philadelphia. He knew the weather was going to be cold, he knew there was going to be shopping that needed to be done. He only really had summer clothing given Las Vegas weather. He put all his stuff together in the car waved goodbye to Water one last time and was on his way to the airport with all his luggage.

The flight touched down in Philly and the men from Cork & Crown were already on the tarmac. One of the bodyguards stepped up to Aladdin, grabbing his hand bag

"Valencia has been expecting you, she wants to see you right away".

The car raced down to the HQ. The men emptied the luggage as someone from the crew showed Aladdin into the HQ and up to Valencia's office. The place was already starting to take shape. In the basement there was wood being placed to house the barrels for aging, the first floor had been converted into a high end lounge with sofas and tables for people to enjoy their whiskey with a cigar if they choose. The old wood was pulled out and replaced with finer woods with glistening polish. The staircase rails were replaced with fine work from the local metal workers the black metal rails contrasted perfectly with the wood on the floors. As Aladdin made it up to Valencia's door, he couldn't help but notice another office right next to hers. It had a nice big desk, a bit of space for any guests that may come by for business, a little place to hang a carpet and a table on the side with a mini chair. Aladdin assumed that chair and desk was for Abu given it was stocked with bananas already. Needless to say, Abu wasted no time digging in. Leaving Abu to his curiosity, Aladdin knocks on Val's door.

Hey, its me. "Come on in, its open" Aladdin opened the door and walked inside to his amazement. Val had out done her self. She had a slick chair, nice rug on the floor, a couple of couches for the visitors and a big desk overlooking the skyline out the window. "How do you like the new place? Like what ive done to it?" Aladdin smiled and nodded in agreement. So where the my bedroom? He asked smiling.

"Yea thats one thing well not address just yet. You've slept enough. Its time for you to do some work. Although you will be happy with the living arrangements, I made sure your room was comfortable enough for company. Now if you dont mind shall we get down to business?"

Valencia opened up her closet and showed Aladdin the products that Cork & Crown were manufacturing and then she got to the real detail, the mob business that was being run out of the trucks and barrels that were being shipped in and out. Aladdin a thief from his young age, knew a thing or two about moving products...had trained his whole life for this.

"So now that you are here and we've gone over the product line and the real business. How about you go freshen up and get dressed. Your office is right next to mine. Its time we started putting in some serious work. We have quite a bit to get done, since Philly is in rebuild mode now".

Aladdin took his leave went upstairs and showered, it was in the wee hours of the night that he finally came down after unpacking and all. Everyone was asleep not a soul in the HQ except the guards manning the doors. And then it happened, a messenger came running. 

"There have been reports of shots being fired, theres been a takedown in OCD they say. Chairman Whoarbale is dead".

Not waiting around very long, Aladdin commanded the men to make sure the HQ was fortified, had all the men arm up just incase things escalated and finally woke up Valencia. Upon waking up to such news, she insisted on going to the Patangeli HQ right away. Men were loaded up in trucks with weapons and Aladdin made his way with Valencia to the Patangeli HQs. Upon arriving there, Aladdin followed Valencia up the stair case and into God Father Luis office. There sat Cecelia_Briggs by his side as they took account of the situation. Luis looked Aladdin straight in the eyes and came over to give him a firm handshake.

"Welcome to Philly, its probably not the most opportune of times to welcome you here with all the recent ruckus. But I welcome you here to our organization. Have heard a lot about you from Valencia. I hope you can be a solid right hand for her. So as I was saying Chairman Whoreable and Seattle had attacked Detroit over night. We just got word this morning. Obviously there was a retaliation and the Chairman has been pronounced dead. Also the newest God Father in Bella Vista also fell in the events. Something went mechanically wrong in their defense systems. The whole HQ lit up. Everyone inside pronounced dead." Luis took his handkerchief out his vest pocket and wipes the sweat off his forehead.

He then walks over to this desk has a shot of whiskey and looks at Cecelia. "Make the arrangements, were going to be moving the Patangeli HQ to OCD, I will be taking the mantle of Chairman. And send out a message to the other Chairmen, lets get the council together so we can discuss whats going on and hatch out a future policy for this thing of ours".

The cars rolled out of the Patangeli HQ. Valencia and Aladdin hung back, not knowing what may happen. Expecting the unexpected, Aladdin started making some calls to see how the strength of the organization stood. It had been some crazy days in Philly the last some weeks. Everyone was afraid, mobsters were being shot by sister organizations and didnt even know it. Some went into hiding, for the sake of their lives. As the information started to get out that Patangeli had taken GFC and that Valencia was setup in South Philly to move that district forward. Things started to settle down a little, meetings were being held, thugs and wise guys from the streets were being called in to sit down with Aladdin and Val. The city needed some organization, and they had taken it upon themselves to do this as Luis was away on business meetings with the GFC Council. 

After a few days of meetings with the GFC's Luis returned to OCD. A message was sent to the Crown & Cork HQ to come have tea with the God Father. Without waiting long, Val and Aladdin wondered their way to OCD. Stepping out the car Valencia looks at Aladdin

"Thanks for everything you have helped with the last few days. Its been nuts, I want you to know its really appreciated".

Aladdin smiled and gave Val a hug. He then looks up to the stairs outside the Patangeli HQ and smiles "Shall we?" Valencia walks up the stairs as Aladdin follows her into the HQ. As they walk past the Bodyguards at the door, they all give Don Val of South Philly a nod. They finally make their way up to Luis office. Once infront of the nice mahogany door, the Bodguards on the outside knock on the door and men from inside open it. Can never be too careful at moments like these. 

Aladdin walked in right behind Valencia as they gave God Father Patangeli a hug. Everyone took their seats around Luis big desk, getting settled in to discuss matters of business. Patangeli settles into his big leather chair with glass windows overlooking Philly behind him. He begins to speak, "I was able to meet with some of the GFC's in the country, MustachePete, Tim..."

Just like that his phone line started ringing. This wasn't the regular line, this was the emergency line. Cecelia sitting close to the phone picks it up. "No way! When?" Cecelia looks over at Luis and hands him the phone. Just as soon as Patangeli hangs up. One of Aladdins associates runs into the office abruptly opening the door. "Sir news from Chicago & New York". Aladdin looks at him. Catch your breath now. Whats going on? Patangeli interjects.

"NY and Chi have just been hit, Mustache Pete and Villain have been slain. Our friends in New York and Chicago have just called in for some help". Aladdin sinks into his chair a little, knowing how much bloodshed had already been spilled and yet here we were at the brink of another bloodshed. Valencia speaks up. "So what are we doing?" Luis asks the men in the room to clear out leaving just Cecelia, Aladdin and Valencia in the room. Next order that comes out of that room was to ready the guns and cars. Philly was entering the war.

What happened afterwards led to a couple of nights of running around the country. Aladdin was charged to lead a squad, Cecelia as well. Luis and Valencia took their snipers out west. Philly was getting busy putting an end to the carnage that Seattle and parts of Las Vegas had started. After quite some losses and gun fire. The four returned back to the Patangeli HQ. Exhausted, they all took a night off. In the aftermath multiple cities layed in ashes. A rebuild process was going to be needed to move La Cosa Nostra forward.

Aladdin always the sleeper, took his time sleeping in, when someone from the HQ knocked on his door and woke him up.

"Sir, Valencia and Luis are expecting you upstairs on the roof. Breakfast is ready."

Barely awake, he made his way to the roof where Valencia and he had their first meeting when he first came to Philly. He opens the roof door and settles in on one of the chairs setup upstairs at the breakfast table. Luis was reading the paper, Valencia was finishing up her bagel and Cecelia was smiling as Aladdin walked up. Once settled into his seat, Luis folds the paper in half and put it on the table.

"What a mess the last some weeks have been. So much carnage, so much death. Hopefully thats all behind us now."

He takes a sip of his coffee and offers Aladdin some breakfast. Aladdin grabs a bagel and take a bite, taking a sip of his coffee...trying to get all his senses awoke. Valencia looks at him "I hope your ready for this!" Aladdin looks back puzzled "Ready for what?!?!" He puts his coffee down. And Luis starts to speak.

"We have decided that I will lead the rebuilding efforts here in Philly from OCD, Cecelia will be setting up Legal offices not far from here. I need her close by." He looks over at Cecelia and smiles. Aladdin Congratulates her he hears the news giving her a hug. Patangeli interjects "I am not done yet!" He smiles looking at Aladdin. "We have also decided Valencia is the right choice to lead South Philly as we move forward, that leaves Bella Vista leaderless. Now we know your quite the snoozer and all. But we need you to step up. Valencia and I have decided that you will take your lot to Bella Vista and setup a HQ out there."

Aladdin spits his coffee mid sip "But I, I, I. Im sure thats not necessary." Valencia looks at him and speaks "You have done quite some work over the last some weeks in the chaos that has ensued since the Philly civil war. Philly needs you now more than ever to help with the rebuild. We would like for you to grab your stuff and find a building out in Bella Vista, go setup your business. You know you always have our support for whatever you need."

Aladdin still trying to let the situation sink in gets up and gives the God Fathers ring a kiss, then a hug to to Valencia and a kiss on the cheek. "I will do what I can to make you proud. I came all the way out to the east coast to run with you. If this is whats required of me now. I shall do everything in my power to deliver what Philly asks of me." Valencia smiles back at Aladdin and responds take "SirWinston with you. He will prove to be a worthy mate in your endeavors in Bella Vista. They say the streets are rough out there. But I know you will bring a sense of organization and calmness to the streets out there." Valencia sits back in her seat and Chairman Luis speaks up.

"You leave at once, word is the political actors are already trying to lockup and seize whats left of La Cosa Nostra in Bella Vista, and I won't allow that on my watch in Philly. Outside you will see some trucks and a couple of cars ready to take you and your men to Bella Vista. Call us when your all setup. We will certainly be stopping by." 

With not a moment to loose, Aladdin finished his cup of coffee, shook GF Luis hand, gave Cecelia and Val a hug and walked down the stairs into his room, gathering his belongings. Once he had the carpet in his arms, Abu on his shoulders and SirWinston by his side he was ready to make his mark in Bella Vista. Agrabah Acquisitions was open for business.

Quite some days had gone by. The palace of Agrabah was in place and the construction crews had rolled out of Bella Vista. As the days rolled on, Agrabah Acquisitions had started to fortify its grip on the mob business in Bella Vista. The bazaar accompanying the Palace provided a perfect front for La Cosa Nostra to funnel its equipment and products thru it, as they say Business was booming in Bella Vista. 

Sitting at his desk looking over the books for a plan for a logistics company in New York, Aladdin flipped thru the plan double checking the measurements for the building. It would be a perfect place for him to channel crates from Philly to New York Port Authority with a Restaurant front to keep all the mob workings quiet. As he divulged deeper, someone knocks on his door. Abu started getting excited, which doesnt really happen much unless if Jasmine was in their presence. Aladdin signals the men guarding the door to let in whoever was behind the door. And poofeven before the door could be opened Genie appeared in the chair infront of Aladdin's desk. 

Ah! Old friend. What brings you here today? 

Genie pulled a cigar from the ashtray that Aladdin had been puffing on and takes a deep puff only to start coughing perfusely. Then he puts it down coughing "How Cough! Cough! Do you even Cough! Cough! Do this?!?!" His eyes turning blood shot red from all the coughing. Aladdin pours a cup of water and offers it to him. 

Here! Here! Have a sip or two, get your throat cleared up. 

Genie gulps the water down and starts to stare at Aladdin. Aladdin a little creeped out by the moment speaks. 

What are you looking at Genie?

Genie points behind Aladdin as they see the flying carpet flying over the city of Philadelphia. The window behind his big office chair offered stunning views of the city. Magic carpet, always the free spirited type, never let an opportunity to roam go. "You remember Ali, when you came to look for me in the cave of wonders? Life was so different then. Things were so different then." Aladdin leans back into his chair thinking about the times gone by. He takes a sip of his fine Crown & Cork whiskey and has a puff of his cigar, that Genie almost died from. 

Yes! We have come a long way my friend. I can remember like it was yesterday. I was running around bazaars stealing stuff so we can stay above the water. Dreams of owning Palaces and chasing Jasmine. 

Just as Aladdin finished his sentence, Genie clapped his hands and boom the flashback was on. 

Genie clapped his hands and the room started filling with blue dust, everything was flying in the air and all of a sudden they were thrown back in time back to their escapades in Agrabah.

Genie was setting in the terrace of the palace sobbing infinitely mourning his friend as he has been doing since the departure of his friend. He finally managed to get away from Jafar's grasp and have some time for himself, He was thinking about his rough times with his new master who has managed to steal the lamp from his friend Aladdin with the help of the annoying parrot Lago, he was enslaved to his new master now who made Genie grant him two wishes to become the new Sultan of Agrabah and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Genie was spending every night thinking about his friend who has been banished by Jafar when his guards shackled and gagged Aladdin before throwing him into the ocean. He had faith that his strong friend Aladdin was not dead and will survive the debacle then turn up again out of nowhere like he used to do to fight this villain and retrieve the lamp and his beloved princess Jasmine. Days passed like years and Genie started losing faith that his friend will ever come back, he even started getting convinced by Jafar's claims that he was wrong about his friend and that he is definitely dead.

Those thoughts were interrupted by Abu jumping into the terrace in front of him. Genie jumped out of joy thinking that his friend is back, his heart was loudly pumping like a drum and could be heard miles away. He hugged Abu very tightly, who wasn't very happy with this hug and started pushing Genie away as he was nearly shocking in his grasp. Genie kissed Abu intensely before putting him down and started asking about Aladdin.

Abu started jumping around the place, making the weird noise he used to do. Genie never seemed to understand this monkey, however he figured out what he was about as the little monkey started pointing outside to the direction of the desert, Genie felt like he wanted to guide him to his friend Aladdin. He took hold of Abu and vanished out of the palace before Jafar's guards could detect them.

After following Abu's directions they finally managed to meet their friend Aladdin, Genie was very excited to finally meet his friend whom he has thought to be dead. He started pulling his cheeks to make sure he was really alive opening his eyes wide and pulling his tongue out of his mouth, once he made sure it was really Aladdin, he cried incessantly as they both hugged, Genie started shape shifting out of happiness to the most lovable figures and little cupid Jinn figures were flying around them. After the intimacy was over Genie started talking again.

"But you're alive, how did you manage to escape? I am very sorry I couldn't do anything, he had the lamp. You know how it's like, I have to follow whoever has the lamp."

Aladdin was exhausted from his recent journey, as he layed there in the desert sand. He could barely move when Genie started to pull his tongue out and plucked his cheeks. 

Stop! Stop! Coughing from the sand all over his face. Where have you been? 

Genie explains the imprisonment that hes had to go thru with Jafar and how he'd been waiting for Aladdin for quite some time. Aladdin took his hat off, sat up right and gave Genie a hug. 

Its been some rough days Genie. Ever since Jafar discovered that I had the lamp, life has been rough. All hes ever wanted is you. And I guess he has you now. Aladdin said half heartedly. We have to do something about Jafar. He will destroy the whole kingdom. Aladdin leans back a little bit and wipes the sand from his face. 

So where do I begin? Aladdin dozes off for a little and then snaps back. So you remember when they found out I had the lamp and Jafar sent all the guards in the realm to find me. I escaped as long as I could. Running around the bazaar and Agrabah. But eventually that parrot found me. I think Abu was stealing some food for us. We were hungry and in hiding. Some how Lago spotted Abu and tailed him back to where we were hiding. Aladdin takes a deep breath as he continues. Next thing I know guards are running in from all sides, sealing of the exits. We were surrounded and they shackled me up and was brought before Jafar to the palace. 

Aladdin feeling thirsty asked for some water. And poof just like that Genie made a bottle appear. Aladdin took some deep gulps, as he had been thirsty for days laying the desert till he was just woken up by Genie.  

So as I was saying. They brought me forward, demanded the lamp, but I wouldn't give it up. They then threatened to kill Abu and I still wasn't willing to budge. Then just like that Jafar pulled a sword on me and said he'd slit my throat if I didnt present him the lamp. 

Aladdin wipes the sweat of his fore head and dusts of hiss vest. 

I still wasn't willing to give you up my friend. But Magic carpet over there, couldn't bear to see both me and Abu go down. So he flew out and brought the Lamp. I screamed, I tried for him to not give Jafar the lamp. But there it was the lamp. Sitting in the hands of Jafar with both our lives in the balance. I knew Jafar would kill us anyway. So I signaled Abu and he started making a fuss. It distracted the guards and I grabbed, Abu, the lamp and hopped on the carpet and flew out the Palace, trying to escape. 

Aladdin lays down on the sand as his words start to get more lighter toned and gentle. 

It was a dark Arabian night, there was a sand storm brewing. We didnt really know where we were going, we just flew out to the desert. Or so I thought I did. Because of the bad visibility, we hit something. It knocked me out. And then when I opened my eyes again, I was tied to a tree along with Abu and carpet. It was on the basin of the Ocean I think, it was the wind that woke me up finally.

Aladdin face became sad as he spoke on. 

When I finally realized what was going on. Guards had surrounded us and Jafar was infront of me with the lamp in his hands. At this point tied to a tree, I didnt have many options. I was stuck! Jafar ever the evil man. Ordered the guards to dump me and Abu into the ocean. And ordered the carpet to be left tied in the desert to whither away. Jafar left with you my friend and guards took us out to the ocean on a boat and threw us out, still shackled up. 

Aladdins eyes became all watery as he tried to hold his emotions back. 

I thought it was over! For all of us! You in enslavement, carpet weathering away and Abu & I at the bottom of the ocean floor. 

Then Aladdins faced lit up a bit, as he broke a smile. 

I dont know where Jafar hires these guards, they did us a huge favor. The shackles weren't tight enough when we were in the water. I was able to loosen up my arms and was able to get Abu out the shackles as well. We swam for a couple of hours before we found some driftwood. I grabbed on to it, hoping it would keep us afloat for as long as possible. Days went by, we started to get hungry. With no possibility of food or drinking water. 

Abu started making some noise as Aladdin got to this part. 

And then it happened Genie. It was a starry Arabian night with some winds blowing. Some how magic carpet broke his chains and flew out to the ocean to find us. I thought we were good as dead but he found us that night. Dragged us out the ocean and flew us back out here. The journey was long and full of bad weather. But we made it out here. Having not eaten anything in days and nothing to drink, I think we crashed here in the desert somewhere. I was knocked out. The carpet was exhausted from the journey.

Aladdin looks over at the Magic carpet and gave him a hug, or as much as possible. 

He saved our life. And then you appeared just now. I dont even know where you came from. But this water is a God sent. 

Just as Aladdin was finishing his story, his stomach started to make loud noises. 

Man, I need to make my way back to Agrabah in hiding. Im hungry. I need some food in my body. 

And just like that Genie clapped his hands and food appeared on a towel. Not having eaten in days Abu and Aladdin dug in viciously. After they had eaten to there desire. Aladdin finally regained some consciousness and gave Genie a pat on the back. 

So now that I am back. What are we going to do about Jafar???

Genie freaked at the thought of fighting the powerful magician Jafar, his head fell to the ground out of fear, he got hold of it, put it back on top of his body and started rubbing his short beard as a gesture of thinking.

"I am afraid this can not be done, he has grown more powerful now. He turned the sultan into a puppet and is letting his annoying parrot Lago torture him by force-feeding him crackers all day long."

Genie sheds a tear.

"Poor Jasmine, being so helpless she spends every night mourning your loss and her father's and he won't leave her alone. He has been trying to make me give him his last wish by making her fall in love with him."

Genie shakes his head.

"No matter how many times I tell him, he doesn't listen, I tried so hard to convince him that there's a few things that I can't do; like making people fall in love, or killing anyone or fully revive the dead"

Genie chuckles hard at the thought of reviving the dead, last time he tried he created Zoombies of them.

"You should help her Ali, she still loves you." Genie's little cupid shapes start flying around their heads. "She doesn't stop thinking about you."

Genie sheds another tear.

"You should come back with me to the palace and fight him, reassure her."

Aladdin had barely come to terms with his long journey back from the ocean, when Genie started to tell him about all the things that were happening in Agrabah. He knew he was physically beat, and knew that would take a bit of fortitude on his part. But he knew what he had to do. He finished his meal, drank his water and then looks up at Genie. 

What you speak of is horrible. We all knew Jafar wasn't a moral man, but I didnt think he would go this far. To sway the sultan and takeover the kingdom is one thing. To try and force Jasmine into something is quite another. I will not stand for this. 

Aladdin gets up from his sitting stance and starts to walk back and forth a little bit, scratching his head trying to muster something up. 

Ok Genie! I think I have a plan. Its going to be dangerous and quite elaborate. But I need to get back to Agrabah and meet with Jasmine. 

Abu, Genie and Magic Carpet all looked at Aladdin weird. Almost with a look of awe, they knew the risks Aladdin would have to face if he were to go back to the Palace.

Genie puts his hand around Aladdin "Now I know your not happy about this whole situation, and your love for Jasmine is undying. But yet you need to understand the gravity of the situation. Everyone in Agrabah will be looking for you. It will be near impossible for you to sneak into Agrabah without getting noticed". 

Aladdin cuts him off and takes a step back. 

Genie, this has to be done. It must be. For not just Jasmine, but also for the kingdom. I will not let Jafar takeover and run this fine place into the ground. We must not let this happen! He says with a smile growing on his face, as he looked at Abu, carpet and Genie. Come on my friends, this isn't going to be easy. But its something we all have to do.

He paces a little back and forth and then looks back up. 

In the last some days Abu and I could have drowned in the ocean, but we didnt. Carpet could have been ripped to shreds in the dessert, but survived. Genie I cant even begin to think what Jafar could have done to you. But your still here. We all are still here. There is a purpose for us being here. We must go back to Agrabah and stop Jafar! 

Genie feeling a little amped up now, turns into a soldiers attire. "Aye! Aye Captain Ali...so what are we going to do?" 

Aladdin gathers around the guys and starts to speak with a bit more conviction in his voice. 

First things, first. I need to see Jasmine. The guards around the throne room will not allow us to get inside, I will need Jasmine to bring Jafar out to the balcony, where I can confront him. 

Genie listened curiously and thought this well, they needed a good plan for this where he wouldn't have to confront Jafar or disobey him; he's still his master after all and he couldn't break the Jinn rules. A light bulb lit above his head and a wide smile was drawn allover his face.

"I know what to do, I have to get back to the palace though talk to Jasmine and tell her about your return. She would be thrilled and that might reassure her a little more and convince her to cooperate. I want you to get to the balcony with the help of carpet and Abu, hide well and I'll send her your way.'

Genie noticed Ali's confused look as he raised his eye-borrow, knowing that wasn't the meeting he was arranging for. Genie smiled and pulled Ali's cheeks wide to smile.

"Don't be so grumpy man, you can count on me. I know what I am supposed to do."

Gene Salutes his friends "Farewell my friends, see you soon in the palace" He then disappears as he teleport back to the palace's lobby right in front of Jasmine's room, he knocks gently on the door so as not to draw any attention towards him.

A gently "Who's there?" can be heard from inside, Genie slips his head into the key hole and pops out of the other side of the door.

"Hello Jas! It's me Genie, We need to talk, I have some good news. Would you please let me inside?"

Jasmine replied with an evil eye "What do you want now? After you helped Jafar take over my father and transfer him into a puppet toy to pleasure his stupid parrot. I hate you." Her eyes started filling with tears. Genie being the sensitive Jinn he is, couldn't stop himself from crying too, he started explaining himself. "You know I can't control it, We, Jinn aren't creatures with free will. I have to follow whomever has the lamp, do you think I could stand seeing my friend Aladdin being shackled and thrown in the ocean in front of my eyes?"

Jasmine's gasped and her eyes widened "Is he... ? Is he dead?" Jasmine dropped to her knees and started crying more.

Genie shakes his head in denial, as he sees her breaking down hard.

"No... no.. He is okay. It's why I am here. Now could you please open the door so I can explain before one of the guards catches my other half outside your room and tells Jafar."

Jasmine's face brightens up as she wipes her tears off her cheeks, and pushes Genie's head outside.

"Get that big head of yours out of the keyhole so I can unlock the damn door."

Genie did as ordered and waited for the door to get unlocked, Jasmine opened the door only slightly and swiftly pulled him inside, then locked the door back very quickly.

"So what is it? What news do you carry?" Jasmine eagerly asked.

Genie took a deep breath and told her about his earlier encounter with Aladdin, Abu and the carpet. She was thrilled to know that her love is back in town and even more thrilled to know that he intends to fight Jafar and get her back.

"We can't do this alone though, we need your help. We need you to seduce him. You know how he insisted that I should make you fall in love with him?"

Jasmine looked disgusted, she couldn't stand thinking of him as a lover apparently.

"Ali is waiting in the balcony with Abu and Carpet. I want you to go meet him there, then get ready for Jafar. I will go tell him that my spell on you finally worked and that you're waiting for him in the balcony. I will have him come alone for more romance, that will be Ali's chance to take him out. Hopefully he will succeed."

Jasmine starts thinking, she looked hesitated a bit, but then she realized she had not many options to save her father and the city of Agrabah, she nodded her head as a sign of approval.

Genie jumped out of happiness feeling his freedom becoming reality soon. 

“I will go talk to Jafar now, see you back in the balcony then"

Once Genie was gone. Aladdin knew what had to be done. He got up from his sitting position in the sands of the desert. He brushed off his pajamas and vest. Took his hat off and dusted the sand out of his hair, fixed it up somewhat. And put his hat back on. He looked at Abu and the magic carpet. 

Alright boys, its time! We have to go back to Agrabah. This time its for all the marbles, we just have to be very cautious as we move thru the city to the palace. 

Aladdin jumped onto the carpet with Abu hoping on his shoulder. Aladdin fixed his hat in place and nodded to the carpet and away they went, flying thru the desert. With the wind & sand in his face, all Ali could think about was what he would say to Jasmine after all this time. All this time she had thought that he was dead, everyone thought he was dead, even Jafar. But here he was riding back to Agrabah to challenge Jafar for everything he had loved in his life. Days away drifting on the ocean had changed Aladdin's perspective of sorts. He had lived his whole life stealing and running. For the first time in his life, he was ready to stand up for something in his life. He was willing to fight for what he believed in. And to take it, in battle if he must. The trio approached the outskirts of the city. It was getting late, the bright stars were out. And the guards were patrolling the outskirts of the Palace, wondering thru the bazaar. 

Get down! Get down!

Aladdin screams as carpet touches down. They sneak up behind a stall and wait for the guards to walk past. Abu looked at Aladdin all weird why they touched down. Only to watch Aladdin point up towards the towers. Jafar had guards manning guard towers to keep a watchful eye from up above. 

Were going to have to sneak thru the bazaar to get to the Palace walls. Once there, well figure out how to get to the balcony. 

Aladdin grabs a piece of cloth from the vendors and covers his face. Changes out his hat and puts another on. He grabs a sack and puts the carpet in there and asks Abu to follow along quietly. They work thru the bazaar, ducking under stalls and jumping over crates. Working thru the bazaar like a maze, which Aladdin had become so familiar with. One time coming face to face with a guard. Only to give way to the hunks as they wondered along. Eventually the trio make the Palace walls. Aladdin stopped at the wall and looked up. He started scratching his head. He knew it would be easy to jump on the carpet and jump over. But he was afraid to catch someones eye. Everyone thought he was dead. He didn't want to loose that advantage. As they waited outside the Palace doors, Aladdin spotted a horse cart bringing some stuff to the doors. It was the perfect way in. They snuck behind some stalls and got behind the cart. They jumped into the cargo on the back, as it pulled up to the city gates. The cart was filled with vegetables and tobacco for the Sultan. The guards didnt think much to ask of the vendor and the cart slipped into the Palace gates. Once inside, the trio slip out and Aladdin walks over to the side where the balcony is. Looking a little stressed, he emptied out the sack and lets the carpet out. He whistles and hops onto the carpet, grabs Abu and up they went to the balcony. Once up there Aladdin jumps off. 

OK now I need to find a sword or any weapon to confront Jafar. 

​​​​​​​Just like that the carpet jumps off the balcony flys about and comes back with a sword he grabbed from downstairs somewhere. Aladdin took the sword looked at the blade with his reflection showing and awaited for Jasmine and Jafar, as thats the plan they had discussed. As Aladdin waited he heard some steps coming towards the balcony. Aladdin wasn't sure who was coming so he hid behind a banner with his sword ready to take on whatever was coming his way. Once he caught glimpse of who it was, Aladdin took a deep breath and whispered. 

Jasmine! Over here. She runs over to Aladdin and gives him a big hug and a kiss. "Thanks goodness your alive, I thought you were dead". She holds back her tears. "And you know what he's done to father? He's made him a toy thing for that annoying parrot Lago, I cant stand to see Jafar controlling the city. You must do something Ali" ​​​​​​​Aladdin summons up all the courage in him and looks into Jasmines eyes. 

Its why I came back. I thought I was as good as dead. Jafar did his job right, only I have really good friends that helped me, when I most needed them. 

Just as soon as Aladdin was finishing his words they hear a knock on the floor it was the staff of Jafar. Aladdin knew it right away. He pulled Jasmine behind him and got his sword ready to confront Jafar. Jafar walks in quietly and slow paced "Jasmine, where are you my sweet...I have come to confess my love for you. Dont be shy come forward princess...YOU! How is this even possible! Your ALIVE!!!" Jafar swings his staff at Aladdin as his sword meets his staff with Aladdin pushing him off. 

Ive waited a long time for this. You left me out in the ocean to die. You tied up carpet in the desert so he could be shredded to bits and pieces then you ensalve the Sultan. And now you want to seduce Jasmine. Aladdin swings his sword in Jafars direction as he dodges the blow. I will not have it. I will not let you get away with this. 

Jafars gets back in his stance and swings his staff at Aladdin, they exchange blows. First Aladdin hitting Jafars arm, scraping it ever so slightly. You could see some blood oozing out. Then Jafar gets angrier and swings more angrily at Aladdin, hitting him in the leg. Knocking him down. With Jasmine screaming "Omg! Aladdin be careful my love" Aladdin uses the blade to stop a strike from Jafar's staff and hold its right in his face. 

I cant let you win Jafar, I cant loose. Not today. 

Jafar feeling the might of Aladdin to be greater today, starts mumbling some phrases calling upon his sources of magic. Aladdin fights back and pushes Jafar back. He gets back up and with his next swing slices his turban off. Jafar astonished "Guards! Where are the Guards!!!" The guards come running in and surround Aladdin. Jafar looks at him smiling. "I have you now, you thought you could escape me? You thought you could escape my justice?" He swings at Aladdin again, dropping him. Then he swings again at Aladdin, with Ali blocking the staff again. This time Ali felt the might of Jafar. He was bearing down on him, the magic was adding to Jafar strength. Just as all of this was going on. Genie walks into the balcony. Jafar says with Genie walking in "who's the most powerful being in the universe...Genie?!?!" Genie responds "You are my lord!" and then Aladdin cuts him off. 

No he isn't, tell him Genie!!! There is nothing more powerful than a Genie in this world. No grand sorcerer can command the kind of power a Genie does. 

​​​​​​​Jafar not amused, looks over at Genie and lets Aladdin up as the guards surround him. "Is this true? That you are the most powerful being in the world? I want that power Genie". Genie replies "But master you dont have any wishes left, well just one. You sure you want to become a Genie?". Jafar's eyes open wide his tone deeper. "Yes! I want to become a Genie, I want to have all the powers of a Genie...MAKE ME A GENIE". Poof just like that Genie snaps his fingers and turns Jafar into a Jinn. Once converted he gets sucked into the lamp and takes Genies place in the lamp. Aladdin puts his sword down and looks over at Genie. 

Your free my friend. Your Free!!! Genie starts going wild, doing all kinds of crazy dance moves. Jasmine runs over to Aladdin and orders the guards to drop there weapons. "I am the princess dont forget, and now that Jafar is no longer in power, I command you all to go find my father and that parrot and imprison that parrot. I will be upstairs in the thrown room shortly." She then looks over at Aladdin and hands him the lamp. Aladdin looks down at the lamp and looks over to Genie.

You've spent ages in this thing my friend. Your finally free now. Its only right that this lamp goes to you. So you shall be the owner of it. Do as you wish with it. Hide it if you like, destroy it if you please or just use it like how Jafar used you. Its only right that you decide the fate of this lamp Genie. 

Aladdin hands the lamp over Genie. And he puts his hands around Jasmine. 

The next call is yours brother. 

Genie was thrilled to finally be free he jumps allover the place in happiness, he can't believe his luck he was free and the person he hated most was now entrapped inside the lamp instead of him. He holds the lamp tensely, not sure what to do, he wasn't an evil Jinn after all.

"I know what I will do, I will put it back where it belongs. I'll take this back to the cave of wonders but first I need to release the city from this evil magic."

Now being free Genie hurls into the desert, freeing Agrabah from Jafar's tyranny. He felt more powerful than ever now. However, he wouldn't want to command someone like Jafar nor let anyone else do that. This man, with all the hatred and evilness that fills his heart can do a lot of damage to this world. Genie had more plans for Jafar, he flew back to the palace to find lago, the evil parrot, the most annoying bird he's ever seen.

"Hello LAGO! Miss me" the bird freaks at the sight of Genie, and tries to hide, but there was no place to hide now, Jafar is no longer her to save him.

"I bet you miss your master, don't you?" The frightened parrot couldn't reply and just anxiously gulped. Genie grabs the parrot and flies away out of the palace to the cave of wonders, where he locks the parrot along with the lamp to suffer the same improsement he suffered not long ago, then returns back to Agrabah to reunion with his friends and celebrate the marriage of Aladdin and his love, Jasmine.
