Aladdin: The Story Continues

Chapter 1 - The Right Moment, Part 1

Author's Note: Walt Disney Pictures is the rightful owner of "Aladdin", its characters, etc. while I just own this story.

As with Beauty & the Beast, I loved the new live-action remake of Aladdin, and is definitely a movie I'll be watching multiple times on its future blu-ray release. It paid homage to the animated film very well, and it also showed that it can be its own, unique thing (ex - Will Smith putting his own mark in this version's Genie).

Now then, this will be an attempt at trying to create a written continuation of the new live action one. If they ever made a sequel to this (which I wouldn't mind), I know it wouldn't involve getting married like in King of Thieves since they already do so at the end of this new one...

With all that being said, I hope you'll enjoy this story!

You ain't never had a friend like me!

Sometime after the dance celebration festivities were over, Jasmine was having one last conversation with her father while Aladdin did the same with Genie in her bed chamber.

"Well, how about that? You being able to do your thing out there tonight without my help in anyway whatsoever," remarked the freed amd once-blue being as he laid back against a wall. "Not to say that I could've done a little something, but… you know, no more of that 'all-powerful Genie' goin' on in here."

Giving his close friend a look of curiousity, Aladdin asked, "Are there times where you've… no pun intended… wished that you still had your powers?"

Taking a moment to think about it, Genie then shook his head, and he replied, "Nah, not really. Feels good knowing that I can do things that don't involve me relyin' on magical powers… on a side note, though, don't be takin' the princess - I mean, new Sultan - on a deep sea diving date anytime soon."

"I'll keep that highly in mind," agreed a chuckling Aladdin, getting up from the bed to make his way over to the balcony, and looked up at the moon with a smile on his face as thoughts of Jasmine entered his mind.

"Oh, that reminds me!" Al's thoughts became interrupted by his friend's voice, and he turned to look back over at Genie, who appeared to be amused. "Since we still got some time before your new bride comes back, I just want to let you know that… it's normal to be a little bit nervous on a night like this."

Nervous?

Aladdin gave a small laugh, and he said, "I'm not nervous, Genie. Why should I be?"

Genie made a head gesture to the nightime sky, and to the bed with his hands. "Well, you just got married not too long ago, and that bed's pretty comfortable for you and Jasmine to… you know what I'm trying to get to, right?"

"That we'll both be using this room now?" Aladdin replied, which made Genie mouth the word "wow" before shaking his head. "Ok you're starting to confuse me a bit now."

Some things'll never change, thought Genie, and he put his hands together after taking a moment to sigh. "Let me simplify it for you, kid… remember how me and Dalia were talkin' about having kids after you pulled a fast one on Jafar?"

"Yeah, a boy and a girl," said Aladdin, nodding but still not understanding what the Genie was trying to tell him about.

"Well… the kids can't be brought to this world through magic, Al," explained the Genie. "And not sayin' that you're gonna be a dad after tonight, but there's a slight chance that you two are probably going to spend the rest of the night…"

He gestured again to the bed, and let out a slow wolf whistle that made Aladdin begin to realize the point that Genie was trying to make.

"What… you mean, to… tonight tonight? I mean, we just…" The young man's eyes widened up a bit, and he could feel his heart start to beat a little faster than usual, so Genie began to try relaxing his friend while having him sit down on the bed.

"Alright, Al, just sit and take a little breather… oh, here, drink some water," said Genie as he gave the new prince a cup while Carpet suddenly appeared from outside to begin fanning him with one of its tassels. "I didn't say it was gonna happen for sure tonight… I was only trying to give you a heads up."

After giving a silent nod of thanks to Carpet, the former street thief looked at his friend with a little bit of concern. "But what am I gonna do when… how'll I know… I don't want to ruin anything for us."

All Genie gave was a shrug, and pointed to where Aladdin's heart was at. "That's something I can't help you learn, kid… but you'll know inside of there… when the moment is right. Alright?"

Carpet gave him a few pats on the back, and a small smile appeard on Aladdin's face after he let out a sigh. "Yeah, you're right… thanks, Genie."

"Hey, man, no problem," assured Genie, rubbing his pal's shoulder a few times. "I'm always here for you. That's what friends are-"

Before he could finish his sentence, an arriving Jasmine opened up the doors, and she made her way into the room. "Aladdin? Are you - oh, sorry, was I interrupting your conversation?"

"Nah, of course not, your highness," replied Genie, shaking his head while Aladdin looked at him with disbelief as the former entity began to walk away. "Anyway, I am going to go now and spend the rest of my night with my own sweetheart… y'all two kids enjoy yourselves, okay?"

Aladdin tried his best to not show his irritation towards the departing Genie, and once the doors were closed, the two of them shared a look with each other that was silent for just a quick moment until Carpet waved 'bye' at them before flying out of the room.

"So, ah…" Aladdin began to drum some of fingers atop the bed that he was sitting on, and after making sure that his nerves were calm, he gave Jasmine a warm smile that she returned. "What do you want to do now?"
