During their little conversation, Jasmine just stood there once again. She couldn't let Aladdin go; she had to save him, even if it meant sacrificing his love to do it.
"No, not this time!" Jasmine yelled and rushed towards Aliyah-din.
She pushed Aladdin out of the way and knocked Aliyah-din off the balcony. At that moment, Jasmine had a look of horror on her face and leaned over the balcony with a sense of regret as to what she had just done. Aladdin, as soon as he got up, rushed to the balcony and leaned over.
Then, he looked at Jasmine and said in a quiet but shocked voice, "You killed her!"
The Present:
Jasmine couldn't look at Aladdin after that. All she could think about was how she had pushed Aliyah-din over the balcony. She just stared down at the balcony, looking at where Aliyah-din was sprawled. This was not how things were supposed to go between her and Aladdin. And now, all hopes of getting back together with Aladdin were dashed.
She went back into her room and sat down on her bed. Aladdin quietly followed her back inside.
For a second time, he repeated in that same quiet but shocked voice, "You killed her."
"Please don't make me feel worse about this than I already do," Jasmine asked.
"But you killed her!" Aladdin said again with more emotion.
"It's not like I meant to," Jasmine said in her defense.
"BUT YOU KILLED HER!" Aladdin yelled, grabbing Jasmine and shaking her.
It had finally sunken in. Aliyah-din was dead, gone and he would never see her again. What made it even tougher was the fact that his current wife, who just happened to be the princess of Agrabah, had killed her… regardless whether or not it had been accidental. He would never again be able to see her, never again be able to hug and hold her, never again be able to make her laugh, never again be able to kiss her, and the thing he would miss the most: never again be able to tell her that he loved her. After all, he was in a state where he believed she was the love of his life and when you believe someone is that important to you, losing them can make you grow crazy.
At that moment the guards ran in. Razoul, the head guard, who was very well known for his hatred of Aladdin, was the first to arrive at the scene and very excited about the prospect of possibly having to throw Aladdin in the dungeon himself.
"Your Highness!" a few of the guards cried and ran to Jasmine while the rest pulled Aladdin off her and held him down.
"Your Highness," Razoul began as bowed before Jasmine. "Shall I send this prisoner back to the dungeon?"
"I have a name!" Aladdin shouted at Razoul.
"Do you think that is of any importance to me, street rat?!" Razoul shouted back. "So, shall I Your Highness?"
Jasmine looked from Aladdin to the guards and back. While Aladdin should have really have gone back to the dungeon, Jasmine thought of what had happened recently. Technically, she would have done exactly the same things if what happened to Aladdin had happened to her.
"No," Jasmine answered softly.
Aladdin and Razoul gave Jasmine a look of complete shock.
"He's still my husband and he's been through a lot," Jasmine explained. "And of course, I still love him."
"But… but… but Your Highness," Razoul stuttered. Somehow this statement made by Jasmine didn't make him very happy.
"You've heard what I said. Now release him and leave my chamber," the princess commanded. "And please go pick up the body of Aliyah-din outside in the garden."
The last sentence was said with much difficulty that Razoul dared not to ask the princess any questions. He reluctantly agreed however to release Aladdin and he ordered his guards to let go of both Aladdin and Jasmine.
As they began to leave, Aladdin muttered, "That's what you get 'Ape Face'."
Razoul turned around and started to head towards Aladdin, sword raised, until he saw Jasmine give him a glare that told him to beat it – which he and the other guards did to go fetch Aliyah-din's body.
"Don't push your luck," Jasmine hissed at him once the guards were out of earshot, "or you might not be so lucky next time."
"I humbly apologize Jasmine," Aladdin said in a tone that was anything but apologetic and dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh goodness gracious Aladdin. What am I going to do with you?" Jasmine asked herself.
"Here's an idea: how about using him to get us out from under here!" squawked Iago. "He's no help at all."
That's right. The entire time Aladdin and Jasmine were arguing, Genie, Iago, and Rajah had been trapped under that pillar that Aliyah-din had caused to crash on top of them. They also looked over to see Carpet, in vain, trying to free them. But, honestly, how strong can a Carpet be?
The couple began to rush over when all of a sudden, Genie popped out from under the pillar and lifted it off Rajah and Iago.
Iago gave him a
stunned look and said, "Well what the hell was that?!?!"
"I kind of forgot I could do that," Genie said with a laugh.
"So you're telling me that all this time, you could have just poofed out from under the pillar and gotten it off us but you forgot you could do that so we basically sat here under a large, heavy pillar for twenty minutes until you remembered suddenly?" Iago rambled but in a clam way.
"Basically – yeah," Genie bluntly replied.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!" Iago yelled. "YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN US OUT AND NOW YOU SUDDENLY REMEMBERED WHAT YOU COULD DO AND I HAD TO SIT THROUGH TWENTY MINUTES OF PAIN AND-."
Genie, who simply rolled eyes, zapped Iago with one of his blue bolts which made his mouth turn into a zipper that was closed. No matter how much the parrot groaned or tried to open the zipper, it was all to no avail so he just went into his cage to sulk. By then, Jasmine had walked out of her room, onto the balcony. Aladdin followed but he stood in the doorframe, so to speak, while she went to the edge. Now that Aliyah-din's body was gone, she could look over into the garden with much more ease. Slowly, she hummed the first few bars of "A Whole New World". The song made Aladdin stand straight up, as if he remembered something.
"Uh, princess?" he asked, approaching her.
"Yes?" she replied turning around to face him.
"Could you hum those notes again?" Aladdin asked.
"Sure," Jasmine said, not realizing that this was anything significant to him.
Aladdin listened and he was pretty sure he could remember the song. A picture appeared in his head. There was a dark-haired and dark-skinned girl on a carpet ride with him. The face began to get a littler clearer and the voice more detectable. It was Jasmine!
"I-I-I can show you the world," Aladdin began to sing slowly and walking to the other side of the balcony.
Jasmine spun around at the sound of Aladdin's singing. Was he really remembering the words to their song?
"Shining, shimmering, splendid," Aladdin continued singing but starting to pick up the pace. Tell me princess, now when did you last…"
"Let your heart decide," Jasmine mouthed along.
Aladdin was absolutely sure that Jasmine WAS in fact his wife. He could recognize her face and her voice.
"I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder," Aladdin continued singing once again. "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."
Jasmine didn't know if she should continue. Oh well, it was the worth the risk.
"Here goes nothing," she thought and started to sing. "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," Aladdin overlapped.
A million pictures popped into his head all at once while Jasmine sang.
Flashbacks:
"Good night, my handsome prince," Jasmine said dreamily.
"Sweet dreams princess," he replied.
He wanted to kiss her but – how? Carpet, all of a sudden, boosted him up so that Aladdin and Jasmine were locking lips and Aladdin had to admit – it was the most wonderful feeling he had ever experienced.
-888-
"What is it you want most?" Genie asked.
"Well… there's… this…girl…" Aladdin said slowly and bashfully.
"RRR!" Genie quickly replied making a buzzing noise. "Wrong. I can't make anyone fall in love? Remember?"
"But – but – Genie, she's smart and… and fun and…"
"Pretty?" Genie suggested.
"Beautiful!" Aladdin exclaimed. "She's got these eyes that just – and this hair… wow and her smile!" he sighed.
"Ah, oui! C'est l'amour," Genie said in a French accent.
Genie couldn't have been more on the money. Aladdin was, in fact, in love.
-888-
"From this day forth, the princess shall marry whomever she deems worthy," the Sultan declared.
The biggest smile appeared on Jasmine's face. "Him!" she cried as he jumped into Aladdin's arms and spun her around before putting her down. "I choose… I choose you, Aladdin."
Aladdin let out a small laugh. "Call me Al."
-888-
"I can't forget about my heart," Jasmine sang.
"I can't forget about my heart," Aladdin overlapped.
"And how it felt to fall for you right from the start."
"I'm still falling."
"Whatever we may do," she sang and laughingly splashed Aladdin.
"Whatever we may do," he sang in return and laughed.
"You are here for me and I'll be there for you."
"I'll be there," Aladdin began to sing as he picked up Jasmine and spun her around.
"To wish, to want, to wonder," they sang together. "To find the sun through rain and thunder."
-888-
"Are you sure about him?" Jasmine asked.
Iago, trying to get everyone to leave so he and Jasmine could have some alone time, was screaming at Abu, Carpet, and Genie and finally got them to all leave.
"That takes care of the peanut gallery," Iago said to Aladdin. "If you need me, I'll be lazing about in the lap of luxury," and he flew away.
"I'm sure about this," Aladdin said tilting Jasmine's chin up to his, and they kissed.
-888-
"Our wedding can wait," Jasmine sang.
"I love you," he sang back.
"I think it's worth this small delay."
"Maybe you're right."
"And won't it be great to have your father see our wedding day?"
-888-
The candles were flickering. Everyone waited anxiously. Aladdin and Jasmine smiled at each other. And finally, yes finally, he kissed for the first time as his wife. The crowd went wild and everyone began to cry. Pretty soon they saw Cassim. Yes, he had come to his son's wedding and no one was more proud of Aladdin than he was.
End of Flashbacks
The memories had just all flooded including meeting Jasmine for the first time, Him and Abu in the Cave of Wonders, meeting Carpet for the first time, meeting Genie for the first time, defeating Jafar the first time, Iago saving his life, having to face (and defeat) Jafar again, meeting his father after all those years, his wedding to Jasmine, and the memory that he would treasure more than anything on Earth: his carpet ride with Jasmine when they sang "A Whole New World".
"…through an endless diamond sky. A whole new world."
Jasmine's singing brought him back to reality. By the end of the song, he had slowly begun walking back towards her where she stood, unable to move by complete astonishment.
"A whole new world," Aladdin sang the last lines, softly.
"A whole new world," Jasmine joined in.
"That's where we'll be."
"That's where we'll be."
"A thrilling chase."
"A wondrous place."
"For you and me," the couple finished together.
Genie, Iago, Carpet, and Rajah, who had silently been watching them sing, hoped this would be the reunion.
"He better remember," Genie warned to himself, "or I'm gonna kick his but all the way to New Glocken… shire (Author's Note: Yes, that's from F.R.I.E.N.D.S)" The other standing next to him gave him a look of bewilderment as he corrected himself by saying, "Some place that really exists and is far, far away."
"Aladdin?" Jasmine said warily. "Sweetheart, are you okay?"
Without saying a word, Aladdin to Jasmine and wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh!" Jasmine exclaimed and she wrapped her arms around Aladdin in return and started to cry. (Author's Note: Here you have to have the sappiness which will continue for a little bit, so sorry if it bothers you. On the other hand, I offer you a tissue and a cookie to make you feel better whether you're crying because of the sappiness or because you saw sappiness and were so saddened by the thought of having to read it that you started to cry. =D)
The four who had been watching left the scene so the lovebirds could have some time alone. After all, there was plenty of time to welcome Aladdin back. After a few minutes of hugging, they pulled out of each other's arms and Aladdin used his thumb to dry her tears.
"When Genie told me you didn't remember me," Jasmine sniffled, "it was like my whole world was falling apart."
"Honey, I am so sorry," Aladdin said, taking her hand in his.
"It wasn't your fault," Jasmine assured him. "You had lost your memory."
"I still feel like it is. How could I not remember you? I mean, you are my whole life!"
"And you're mine."
With that said, Pretty Boy and Miss Romantic (as Iago would put it =D) kissed.
-A Forgotten Past-
Aladdin sat on his bed, barely able to contain his enthusiasm. He had his memory back! He had his wife back! He had his friends back! He had his entire life back! He truly valued everything he had because he knew at any moment this could all slip away. That's when a knocking came at the door.
"Come in!" he called out.
Slowly, Abu, Genie, Iago, and Carpet walked through the door. Abu ran right onto Aladdin's head while the other three hung hesitantly by the door.
"Aladdin, is that really you?" Genie asked with a small, hopeful smile.
"Do I know you?" Aladdin joked.
Genie's small, hopeful smile sank into a large, helpless frown. "Great, we've lost him… again!"
"Genie…" said Aladdin.
"For five
minutes you're back and the next, you're gone. Is that messed up
or what?!?!"
"Genie…" tried Aladdin again.
"C'mon, what do I have to do to make you remember your past?! Aladdin, you've gotta snap out it!!!!" Genie cried, shaking Aladdin.
"GENIE!" yelled Aladdin.
Genie let him go and gave him a look.
"I was just kidding," Aladdin explained. "It's me. I'm back."
Genie's frown turned into a grin. "AL! You're back!" he cried and grabbed Aladdin into a huge hug. "C'mon group hug!" he said and pulled Iago, Carpet, and Abu into it.
"Can't… breathe," gasped Iago.
After everyone had been released Genie turned to Aladdin and said, "Don't you ever do that again!"
"What? Lose my memory or pretend I've lost it?"
"BOTH!"
"I'll try not to," Aladdin laughed.
"So…" Genie said. "What are you getting Jasmine for your one year anniversary?"
"Their anniversary was seven months ago," Iago pointed out.
"True," Aladdin said. "But I wanna make it up to her. After all, for those past seven months, I put her through hell."
"Alright," Iago continued "Weren't you gonna do that candle-lit dinner invitation thing?"
"Oh yeah," Aladdin remembered. Then all of a sudden, he made a face like a light bulb went off in his head. "Wait a second, I have a better idea."
Pulling everyone into a huddle, Aladdin whispered it to them in secret.
"Oh la la!" Genie said romantically. "I'm loving it!"
-A Forgotten Past-
Pushing Jasmine along, Genie and Iago finally had her reach the balcony, carrying Aladdin's anniversary present.
"Hey guys, what's this all about?" Jasmine asked.
"See for yourself," replied Genie, pointing to something behind her.
Jasmine turned around to see Aladdin behind her, sitting on Carpet, wearing the exact same outfit he first had when he was Prince Ali-Ababwa.
"What's all this?" she asked him with a giggle.
"Only if you tell me what's in the box," he coyly replied.
Smiling, she handed him the box and said, "I know it's not much, but this was what I wanted to give you for our first anniversary."
Aladdin opened it to find a tailored suit made of the richest material with a little note inside:
To "Prince Ali-Ababwa"
Happy Anniversary. I love you, now and always.
Love forever more,
Jasmine
He smiled at her and gave her a kiss. "Thank you," he said and had Abu bring the box inside with Siva. (It had been decided that the monkey would stay with Aladdin and Jasmine so she could be with Abu.) "Now, it's your turn."
He held out a hand and Jasmine stepped onto Carpet. Carpet took off and Jasmine clung to Aladdin much like she did that very first night they went on a carpet ride.
"I can show you the world," he began to sing again.
Jasmine looked at him and looked at their surroundings. It was the same route they had taken the first night. She quickly got it. His gift to her was a recreation of their carpet ride. She couldn't have asked for anything more romantic or sweet. When they returned to their room, they recreated the dialog and Carpet did the same move so Aladdin could kiss Jasmine. They laughed once Aladdin was back on the balcony with Jasmine.
"Thank you," she said. "That was the most romantic gift ever."
"You're welcome," he beamed.
At that moment, there was a crash and Aladdin and Jasmine raced into their room. There stood Iago, Carpet, Abu, Siva, and Rajah all looking over at an unconscious Genie. Aladdin quickly got some cold water and splashed it on Genie. That quickly revived him.
However once he was able to speak, he mumbled, "Where am I? And who are you?"
Aladdin and Jasmine looked at each other. "Oh no," he groaned.
"Here we go again," she laughed.
Let's just say that for the next couple of months, things were going to be a little bit more than complicated.
