Lili stopped trying to get free from her soft entrapment when she saw the parrot perched close enough for her to grasp. She tilted her head and observed him with unblinking eyes. Iago's feathers ruffled as he felt eyes on him. '..I've got the creepiest feeling.' He turned his head in time to squawk just as the young princess grasped onto his body. She giggled in delight and hugged him tightly, kissing his beak.

Iago on the other hand, was letting out wails and groans of discontentment. "Let go of me! You royal.."His eyes widened when a distinctive aroma hit his nose. "ALLAH FORBID! Get me out of here!" He choked and coughed. "Jafar..this monster needs to be changed!" He whined as Jafar returned, wearing a disguise. He was dressed as a sickly old woman. "Quiet, you imbecile." He glared and picked up the toddler. He made a face as he smelled what Iago was making a huge fuss about. "..disgusting..I really am glad to be rid of you." He changed her cloth diaper, tossing the old one behind him.

A squawk was heard from the floor as well as cursing. The parrot peeled the dirtied diaper from himself, a horrified look plastered onto his face. He grasped his throat as if he were suffocating and fell over. "Couldn't you have thrown that a liiittle more to the left?" He rasped out, a little cloud of dust puffed from his lips. Lili giggled at the birdbrain's mannerisms and blinked as Jafar dressed her in what a beggar child would wear. "Dess up?" She looked up at him an innocent smile on her lips

"Yes..Liliana. We are playing dress up." He carried her out the servant's quarters and out into the palace grounds. It was a dark, moonless night and Jafar kept the princess hidden within the shadows as he pressed himself against the palace wall. Razoul was 'patrolling' nearby, eyes drooping shut as he mumbled about a street rats. Jafar tiptoed past him and opened the palace gate. He groaned softly as Lili clung to his neck, nuzzling her face into his neck. "I tired..Jaffy." She yawned.

"Liliana..you are not going to sleep." He set her down on the ground once they were outside of the outer walls of the palace and in the streets of Agrabah. He took her hand and lead her into an alley. She toddled beside him and frowned as mice ran over her feet. "J-Jaffy.." She clung to his leg, lip quivering. He peeled her from his leg and crouched down to her level. "Liliana..go hide.. we're going to play hide and seek." His lips curled into the most awkward of smiles. It was as if he was trying to appear trusting and kind to get the little girl to play. She stared at him for a moment but squealed happily. She grabbed his hands and put them over his eyes as she ran off to hide in another alley, getting herself lost along the way. She sat behind a sleeping dog. "Come find!" She giggled

Jafar cackled. "Goodbye princess." He smirked and stood. He left her to fend for herself in the dangerous streets of Agrabah while the sleeping dog was woken by Lili's excited squeals. The dog bared it's teeth and towered over the tot. It let out a menacing bark, snapping it's teeth closed in front of her nose. Lili screamed and began to cry. She began to run away from the dog. It laying back down once she was out of sight. She tripped on a rock and skinned her knees. She couldn't stop crying. '..scawy doggy..' "Jaffyyy..find me.." She wailed, just wanting any one to comfort her.

A boy, maybe a year older than her was woken up by her wails. He frowned softly and watched her. '..a baby? Where's her mom?' Abu woke up shortly after and glared at the source of his rude awakening. The cranky monkey scampered over to her and began to chitter annoyedly at her. Lili cried louder and covered her eyes, scared of the monkey. Aladdin grabbed Abu by his tail and scolded him. "Abu! She's scared..don't make her cry more." He frowned and knelt in front of her. "H-hey..little girl..now don't you cry. Abu didn't mean to scare you. He's just grumpy when he's tired." He wiped her tears with his thumbs softly. Lili looked at him with big, watery eyes and sniffled. He sighed softly and pulled her into a hug. "Come on..I'll help you find your mommy.."

Lili shook her head and hiccuped from all her crying. "N-no mommy.." She wiped her wet cheeks on his vest. Aladdin frowned more.

"..then you'll stay with me and Abu. My name is Aladdin, what's yours?"

She stopped sniffling. "..My name Lili.." She wiped her eyes. "'..'Laddin help find Jaffy?"

Aladdin blinked but smiled softly and cupped her cheeks softly. "Of course! We'll help you find Jaffy in no time." He stood and took her hand with Abu taking her other hand. They lead her to their little place they called home. It was run down and had a great view of the palace. Aladdin lifted her up onto where he usually slept. "Close your eyes and sleep..tomorrow will be better. I promise, who knows, maybe you, Abu and I will live in the Sultan's palace." He held her hand as her chubby little fingers squeezed his. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep to Aladdin's soothing voice and stories of the better times that would be theirs. He smiled and looked out to the palace. He was sure he would never seen anything more beautiful in his life as he closed his eyes, head resting on the toddler's warm chest.
