Chapter 2

Sofia couldn't help but bite her lip in worry. She had faced villains before yes, but she never helped them. She heard of the stories of the Princesses and the villains they had faced. She wondered if one of the princesses would end up coming to help her if they knew what she was doing. She gulped as she arrived to the city of Toontown. Her eyes widen in surprised. She never has gotten over how different Toontown was from her kingdom.

"Wow... this place sure is different from Enchancia." Clover mused, his ears perked in surprise.

"Y-yea," Minamus stammered, "And I don't like it."

"I know it's scary to be in a new place Minamus, but we have to do this." The young girl told her friend. "Just becareful of those wires and buildings. And head to the shady part of the town. That's where the villains live."

"I really don't like this..." he muttered but flew to the direction Sofia said.

As they landed, Sofia got off Minamus's back, taking the reins in her hand and led him through the houses and castles of the villains' side of town. They looked around nervously, keeping an eye out for any of the villains. The three friends stayed close together. They had to be extra careful.

"Do you even know where he lives?" Clover asked.

Sofia stopped. Why hadn't she thought of that? She had no idea.

"Oh no! I didn't! That means we're going to ask someone."

"Like who?" Minamus asked, looking terrified, his eyes huge with worry. "I don't want to talk to one of the villains. What if they do something to us?"

"But what else can we do? I doubt any of the regular citizens and heroes are going to let us go to Jafar's willingly." She took a deep breath and cautiously went up to a door. "Well here I go."

She felt her hand shake as she went up to one of the houses. It was painted a maroon red, with a black painted English porch and a tan door. She was surprised to see the houses that looked so normal. She figured most of the villains' places were painted black or scary looking castles. As she knocked on the door, she stepped back, hoping whoever lived there wouldn't be mad that she had disturbed them. She blinked in surprise when she saw Hades opened the door.

"Look, guys Jafar isn't..." the god trailed off when he didn't see anyone.

"Um, down here." The young princess told him.

He looked down and raised an eyebrow. It wasn't normal for a little girl to wonder into the Villains' side of Toontown. Most kids knew to stay away from them.

"Um are you lost kid?"

"No, or well, I don't think so. I'm looking for Jafar."

"You're...looking for Jafar?" He couldn't hide his shock. "Do you know who he is?"

"If you mean that I know that he's a villain that tried to take over Agrabah and killed Prince Aladdin and hurt Princess Jasmine, then yes I do."

"Smart kid. Well what do you want? He's not in a good mood."

"Well my name is Princess Sofia of Enchancia, and I was sent to help Jafar."

"You're a princess?"

She nodded. She could understand why he was shocked. Princesses normally don't come to help villains. Usually fight them or rescued by a prince. Though his shock soon turned to suspicion.

"Help him with what?"

"I'll explain once I'm inside. May I come in?"

He stepped aside, allowing her in.

"Hey Jaffy, ya got a visitor!"

Sofia looked around to see that the room was decorated in colors of maroon, gold and dark brown. She saw on the far side of the wall was stacked from floor to ceiling with books. A TV was up against the wall to her left on a TV fancy black TV studio with Arabian vases and candlesticks on the side. A small desk was next to the door, with a mirror over it. And a filing cabinet was on the right side of the entrance to the kitchen. Another entrance was a few steps next to the TV with a staircase on the right side of it. A maroon couch was sitting in the middle of the room with another black couch on its left and another black love seat on the right with a brown coffee table in front of it. A stack of books were sitting on the table with the remote to the TV. Papers were sprawled out as well with pencils scattered. Other than the books and papers, she saw that the house was extremely tidy.

"Word of advice kid, don't touch anything. Jaffy is sort of high strung over people moving his things."

"Jaffy?" Sofia questioned, looking up at the blue flamed-hair god.

"Sorry, nickname I gave him years ago. Only I can call him that. Anyone else and he hits him with his staff."

The young girl nodded, uneasy. She straightened up when he came into the room, carrying a bucket of strawberry ice cream. She stifled a giggle. She didn't think villains like ice cream! It was funny to see that one did.

"Who could it possibly..." he paused seeing her, "Be?" He sat the bucket down and went over to her. "Young lady, I don't know if you are aware, but do you realize that you are in the presence of a villain?"

"I do. I was sent to help you." She replied.

Jafar and Hades looked at each other. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"And how are you going to help me?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Princess Sofia, I'm a Storykeeper and it's my job to make sure that every story has an ending, and I was sent to find an ending to your story."

"An ending to my...story?" the former adviser blinked in surprise.

"Storykeeper?" Hades asked.

"I don't understand. I thought my story was over when I became a villain to that retched streetrat, Aladdin."

"I thought so too, but apparently it's not. I'm here to help you reunite with the baker of Agrabah and for you to live your dream!" She told him.

"Reunite..." Jafar murmured, stunned.

Hades noticed that the tall Arabian man was shaking and about to fall. He quickly went over and helped him sit on the couch. He knew that he longed to be back with the man who had taken him in and shown him kindness when no one else has. He knew that he was close to the baker and had saw the man as the father he always wished he had.

"But how can you do it? He can't go to Agrabah and I don't think you can possibly be bring Baybay here."

"Baybay?" Sofia asked, tilting her head. "Is that the name of the baker?"

"Actually his name is Barir Sumara, but Jafar has always called him Baybay since he was a small boy." Hades spoke up.

Sofia walked up to Jafar.

"When I first heard your story, I had no idea you had a rough life, and that your story is supposed to have a different ending then what was supposed to in Aladdin. I don't know how I can do it, but I'm not going to give up! And neither should you!"

"But how?" Jafar asked, looking distressed. "And even if I do pursue my dream, what would the others think? I... they would never accept it."

"Well… you got to try."

"But will they say? They'll know something is up, once they notice that I'm gone."

"Leave that to me," Hades interjected. "I'll cover for you. Go on and finish your story… however it's supposed to end. I'll be waiting for you."

"Thank you Hades." Jafar replied. He looked over at Sofia. "Well Princess, let's finish my story."
