"Well, since both our parents are getting married, I have something to tell you that I wanted to on the very first day of kindergarten. You were the first friend I ever had. You accepted me regardless of the fact that I have gay parents. The truth is I think what we have is more than friendship. What I want to ask you Safiya, is will you be my girlfriend?" asked Amal.

"Yes, Amal! I would love to be your girlfriend," Safiya jumped up hugging him.

"Will you go to the dance with me this Saturday?" asked Amal.

"Yes!" Safiya exclaimed.

Safiya stared at her closet, looking at the dresses that she poofed up for dates and formal events. Being half genie has its advantages. She heard a knock at her door.

"Who is it?"

"Your mother! Let me in! I have a necklace for you to wear." Safiya used her magic and opened the door. "Thank you,"

"Mom, I can't find anything to wear!" Safiya dove into her closet and started throwing dresses out. Short ones long ones red ones blue ones frilly ones plain ones,

"Safiya you have an entire closet full of dresses!"

"How about this one?" Safiya held up a long black dress.

"Perfect!" Sandra helped her daughter into the dress then really looked at it. The dress had sleeves that hung halfway down her upper arm, like her normal shirts; the dresses skirt went all the way down to the floor and it had a slit for walking without tripping. It had a low neckline to show off some of her chest but not enough for her father to go 'Safiya Nejem you are NOT going out in that young lady!'.

"It is perfect! What was the necklace?" Safiya asked while putting her hair up into a braid. She let a few curls frame her face then added her crown. It was set in a silver setting on a red ribbon. She smiled and her crown turned blue, meaning she was happy. Sandra put on a ruby necklace on a silver chain around her daughters neck. "You are so beautiful." Safiya rolled her brownish blue eyes.

"Thanks Mom." The doorbell rang. "He's here!!" Safiya magically put her make up and shoes on and walked out into the hallway. Genie opened the front door to Aladdin, Jafar and Amal.

"Amal!" Safiya said happily and ran to hug him. Amal ran too and they hugged each other. Jafar laughed.

"OK kids, here are the rules. RULE NUMBAH 1, stick together at all times!" Genie turned into glue and glued them together.

"DAD!" Safiya said mortified.

"Rule number 2, don't do anything you wouldn't do if your parents were around. And yes that means no making out and no sex." Aladdin told them.

"DAD!!" Amal said turning red. Safiya's crown was turning a bright shade of pink.

"Rule number three, don't leave the dance with anybody but us." Sandra told them.

"And rule number four, meet us after the dance. Got it Son?" Jafar asked.

"Yes Father." Amal told him.

"We understand Mom. I have them memorized. Genie remember?" Safiya poofed up a notepad and wrote down the rules. She stuck it in her purse. "Ready to go?"

"Yep!" Amal let Safiya take his arm and they walked to the fanciest restaurant in Agrabah. Jafar laughed.

"I love this! Our kids are actually in love with each other." Aladdin hugged Jafar.

"Who would have thought?" Jafar asked.

"I know I didn't." Genie said.

"That's because you still think Safiya is our little girl." Sandra joked. Genie glared at her playfully and kissed her cheek.

Safiya and Amal were walking to the restaurant when a carpet pulled up.

"Well, what do ya know? It's our niece Safiya and who is this?" Rizwana asked.

"This is Aladdin and Jafa-" Safiya started.

"Stop!" Zanibab interrupted, "Do not talk about them. Aladdin and Jafar huh? How long have we been gone?"

"We came for a surprise visit like, last week." Rizwana told her twin.

"Oh!" Zanibab said, "FORGOT! So what's your name Son?"

"Amal."

"Nice to meet you Amal! We'll leave you two to go on your date. We're going to the palace to see our brother."

"Who's your brother?" Amal asked.

"Genie! The big blue dude! Safiya's father. Bye Amal! Have fun Safiya! We'll talk to your parents to see if we can pick you up and get ice cream." Safiya smiled and Amal looked confused.

"She gives me like 15 scoops of my favorite ice cream! Chocolate strawberry!"

"Future reference what is yours?" Zanibab asked.

"Chocolate and vanilla." Amal said, "Swirled."

"I like him!" Zanibab whispered.

"He's a keeper!" Rizwana waved goodbye and the Nejem Twins rode on Carpet to the palace. Safiya smiled and they entered a restaurant called Zanibab's.

"We're eating here?" Safiya asked.

"Yeah, it's the most romantic restaurant." Amal told the host his name and the host led them to a privet booth.

"My aunt saved the people who own this restaurant. To show their gratitude, they named it after her."

"Funny, she's the most un-romantic woman in the world and the most romantic restaurant in Agrabah is named after her. How ironic," Amal laughed. The waitress walked up to them.

"Welcome to Zanibab's, my name is Riz and I will be your waitress," Safiya knew immediately it was her aunt Rizwana. She looked at Amal with a look that said, 'My dad or your dad must have planned this'. Amal gave her the same look. "What would you like to drink?"

"Lemonade," Safiya told her.

"Thanks to the genie's modern advancements in Agrabah, Coke please." Amal told Riz. Amal loved Coke since the Nejem Siblings added the radio, TV, modern kitchen appliances, and all modern foods and music.

"Your meal is free, thanks to Zani!" Zanibab poofed up.

"Thanks Aunt Zani!" Safiya said. She and Rizwana are the only ones to call her Zani.

"No sweat my- What? Yes. Yes. Yes. OK! Thanks bro!" Zani had a hand on an ear piece.

"' 'Bro' A-a-a as in Genie?" Amal was nervous.

"Not spying on you... spying on your dads! They had reservations here!" Zani ran to the door.

Riz poofed into Rizwana," I was actually sent to spy on you two, but I won't do that anymore!" She poofed up their drinks then saw Zanibab leading the men to their booth.

"... and no funny business!" Was all they heard. Zani poofed up some drinks, and ran back to the couple.

"Hello, back! Umm sorry to bother you, but your father's are here, in that booth.... Watch their feet." Zanibab walked into the kitchens, saw the feet, and then snapped. Aladdin and Jafar's feet went straight back to a 90 degree angle."Hmph, no footsie in the restaurant named after me!" She muttered.

"I love my aunt dearly but she gets a little weird sometimes." Safiya said.

"Yes but she has to stop slamming my parents." Amal said.

"She can't help it, she's OK with it, but she wants Jasmine and Aladdin together, not Aladdin and Jafar, I think she just isn't comfortable with the idea yet."

"How long has she had for the idea to.... sink in?" Amal asked sipping his Coke.

"My. Whole. Life." Safiya said slowly. They had a few bites of Ceaser Salad and steak with baked potato and veggies. Rizwana gave them dessert which was her famous Oreo Shakes. One shake was there with two straws. Safiya blushed and her crown turned pink while Amal blushed too. They finished the shake quickly and left a tip for Zanibab and Rizwana. Amal left enough to pay for his fathers' dinner.

"Thanks Amal." Rizwana kissed him on the cheek and Safiya slapped her aunt.

"My boyfriend!" Safiya pulled him out and they walked to the dance at their high school.

"And that money is for my fathers' meal!!" Safiya clung to Amal under the awning at Zanibab's. She always hated thunderstorms, and this one was terrible. Lightning streaked across the sky and she whimpered in fear and hid her face in Amal's chest. Amal held her close to him and stroked her hair.

"Safiya, look at me." Safiya looked up at Amal with her eyes wide with fear. "Nothing will happen to you while I'm around. I promise." Amal held her chin with his thumb and finger and leaned in to kiss her lips. Safiya leaned up and their lips met. It was like a wildfire. Safiya wrapped her arms tightly around Amal's neck and Amal's arms held Safiya close to him. They stayed like that for a long time, not caring who saw their PDA. Amal broke the kiss for air and they smiled.

"Wow." Safiya whispered.

"Wow? I kiss you and all you can say is wow? I must say that is how I feel too. I love you Saf. I have ever since we first met in kindergarten."

"Me too. I love you Amal." Safiya started crying. A tear escaped her eye and Amal wiped it away with his thumb.

"No tears tonight my dear. Tonight we have fun." Amal gave her his coat and they walked to the high school. Zanibab saw them and yelled.

"Wait!! As long as you are at my restaurant, you shall have free food! And oh, here is a coupon if you want to pay!"

"Thanks Aunt Zani!!" Safiya hugged her aunt and she and Amal walked into the rain. Safiya poofed up an umbrella and they walked under it to the high school. Amal wrapped his arm around Safiya's waist and she put her head on his shoulder. Safiya scanned everything for signs of an abnormally blue colored item. She didn't want her father butting into her life. When they safely were at the high school, they gave the teachers their tickets to enter the dance and they walked in. Music was coming from speakers and a DJ system. Kids were on the dance floor dancing and at tables with snacks and drinks. Safiya saw her school friends and dragged Amal over to meet them.

"Hey guys!" Safiya called over.

"Hi Saf!" A girl called back. The girl's name was Wahida and Safiya's best friend. Wahida wore a short red dress that was strapless, her black hair was in a half ponytail and it was curled and it had a ruby in a gold setting, and she wore gold high heels. "Who's your date?"

"This is Amal, you remember him from math class right?" Safiya said. Amal held out his hand to shake and Safiya's love and her best friend shook hands. "Amina, Rasha, you remember Amal from middle school right?"

"Yes," Amina wore a green dress and her black hair was down. The green dress went down to her knees and had thin straps, black ballet flats were her shoes.

"Hey Amal." Rasha had a small crush on Amal, she wore a very revealing purple dress with silver high heels. She wore an actual crown made of silver and her hair was in a fancy up-do filled with curls and glitter. A large diamond pendant was worn around her neck. Amal shook both of the girls hands and Amal spotted his friends a few feet away.

"Come on Saf, I want you to meet my friends." Amal and Safiya said goodbye to Safiya's friends and they went over to Amal's. "Butrus, Qismat, Husin, this is Safiya, my girlfriend." Safiya held her hand out to shake but all three of them kissed her hand. Safiya may have been the daughter of a princess and a genie, but she wasn't used to that treatment. She blushed and her crown turned pink. The boys talked for a while until Safiya spotted her friends staring at Amal's friends.

"Amal, why don't you introduce your friends to my friends, they all look like they need dates, and a slow song is gonna come on soon." Safiya snapped her fingers behind her back and a slow song started playing. Amal's friends went to Safiya's friends and she smiled.

"May I have this dance Princess Safiya?" Amal held out his hand and Safiya took it.

"I'm not a princess." Safiya said as they walked onto the dance floor. "I think I'd be a princess if Grandpa left the throne of Zalderan to my mother." Amal laughed.

"You'll always be my princess." Amal wrapped his arms around Safiya's waist and she wrapped her arms around Amal's neck.

"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?" Amal and Safiya's eyes widened.

"That's my dad singing. He said he and Princess Jasmine sung this on their first date together, but Dad was disguised as Prince Ali."

"Really?"

"He taught me the words to it, do you know them?" Safiya nodded. Amal sang softly.

"I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

"Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

"A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

"A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

"A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me." Amal and Safiya stopped singing and dancing to the song and kissed.

From somewhere in the shadows, another couple was standing alone. One had black hair but red/purple tinted skin like she was sunburned. She wore a dark red flowing gown with silver heels. The man had a sinister looking face but it didn't match his personality at all. He wore red too, but dark red as a suit.

"I think their all right for the night. Let's go back." The woman said. Her face went from human to genie as she transformed back. She was now Rizwana, the Nejem sister to Genie. The man turned into a red genie, who was Jafar, husband to Aladdin and father to Amal. They left before Safiya could sense them.

After a few more dances on the dance floor, Safiya sat herself down in a chair and snapped her fingers. A glass of water appeared in her hand and she drank it. Amal walked over to her and sat in a chair next to her.

"Having fun Princess?" Amal asked.

"I'm not a princess, but yes I am. Although these shoes hurt." Safiya was wearing high heels, she snapped her fingers and black ballet flats appeared on her feet. "Much better." Amal smiled and kissed Safiya's cheek.

Around midnight, the DJ told the students that the dance was over. Safiya poofed herself and Amal outside so they could beat the crowds. Outside waiting was Zani and Jafar with ice cream cones.

"Hey Dad!" Amal called.

"Hello Aunt Zani!" Zanibab walked over to Safiya and gave her the ice cream cone. Safiya started eating it and got brain freeze. "Ai! Brain freeze!" Safiya put her thumb to the roof of her mouth and sighed. "Better." Jafar handed Amal his ice cream and he started eating it. The Nejem family and Jafar's family walked back to the palace, eating the ice cream. When they got to the front door, Jafar hugged his son.

"See you at home son."

"Ok Dad."

"Tell me everything." Zani whispered into Safiya's ear.

"Sure Aunt Zani." Zani poofed away and Safiya and Amal were left alone. "I really had a great time Amal." Safiya said, becoming quite shy. She usually was very outgoing.

"Me too. I'll call you tomorrow OK?" Amal asked.

"OK, goodnight Amal."

"Goodnight my sweet princess." Amal kissed Safiya and walked out of the palace's grounds. Safiya smiled and walked inside; made sure no one was looking and turned into a firework, shot up towards the ceiling and exploded into colors, shouting "YES!!" Genie walked into the room to find his daughter like that.

"What made you so happy Sweetie?" Genie asked. Safiya immediately went back to normal and blushed.

"Nothing Daddy, I'm going to bed now goodnight!" Safiya kissed his cheek and ran to her bedroom.
