The man led them out and took them to the Cave of Wonders. Zipporah stood close next to Aladdin who was standing tall and Abu was hiding in his vest. It was a bit overwhelming. There was some rumbles heard and a big cat face was shown and seemed to be alive. "Who dare disturbs my slumber?" the head demanded, sounding very angered that it had been disturbed by the two.

"It is I Aladdin!" the boy calls out first, knowing Zipporah would have to talk herself too.
"And Zipporah!" the sister added.

The mouth opened up to show an entrance. "Proceed... Touch nothing but the lamp."

"Remember, children, bring me the lamp and you both shall have your reward!" the man cautioned as he would wait outside.

Aladdin looked at the man. He then led them all in. Abu shivered in Aladdin's Vest.

Zipporah followed cautiously and was a little nervous of what the Cave of Wonders had in store for them. "Remember, no treasures, no money, no nothing but that lamp thing." she firmly told Abu, knowing how greedy the monkey was.

"Nothing else is to be touched." Aladdin agrees.

"Where do you think it could be?" Zipporah asked as she went in one part to look for that lamp.

Aladdin shrugged. "We'll have to look." he says.

Zipporah and Aladdin then continued and looked around to find the lamp, not noticing the carpet.

Abu saw the money and had jumped towards it, he stopped however and grumbled. There was a carpet on the ground. It somehow, as if by magic, seemed to had been moving and was sort of following Abu. The monkey kept on glancing back, feeling something or someone following him. The carpet kept following behind Abu, but laid flat on the ground like a normal carpet once Abu turned fully around to see if anyone was legitimately watching him. Abu sped up a little murmuring nervously. The carpet stayed on the ground, then stood up a little, seeming shy, even if it was just a carpet. Abu ran and jumped at Aladdin, scared.

"Abu!" Aladdin shouts. He then looked at what Abu was scared of. "Hey, a magic carpet..." he says.

"Whoa!" Zipporah looked intrigued.

The carpet looked shy and slowly came toward the group visiting.

"Come on, it's okay..." Aladdin says with a smile.

The carpet came from its hiding spot. It then felt trust in Aladdin and Zipporah and came closer.

"Hey, can you help us? We need to find the lamp." Aladdin says, his voice still soft.

The carpet 'danced' a little and seemed to gesture a way to go.

"I think he knows the way," Zipporah told the guys. "Come on, let's go!"

Aladdin ran after carpet, following him. He took Zipporah's hand so she wouldn't get lost.

The carpet flew about and seemed to gesture toward the room where the lamp was. Zipporah was a little nervous as she saw the stand where the lamp was. It seemed very scary and any mistake could endanger their lives.

"Do you guys want to stay here? I'll go and get the lamp." Aladdin says.

Abu jumped over to Zipporah's shoulders.

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you." Zipporah told him, a bit nervous.

Carpet stayed with them, even it looked concerned about the situation. Aladdin went over to get the lamp. He looked at it in awe, but disbelief. Abu was scared until he caught a sight of a massive Gem. Zipporah was watching Aladdin to make sure he wouldn't fall or get hurt. Carpet had noticed Abu's sneakiness and dashed to try to stop the mischievous monkey.

Aladdin picked up the lamp. "This is it? This is what we all came to find?" Aladdin asks. "ABU, NO!" he then shouts.

Abu grabbed the Gem just a second after Aladdin had said that. Zipporah whipped her head at him. The Cave of Wonders voice was heard and he had doomed them all. He had vowed that neither of them would never again see the light of day. The carpet quickly went around to keep from getting in a lot of trouble and went to help its new friends to get them out of their problem.

It would have to get them out as soon as possible before they would be imprisoned like a victim called Gazeem who had perished long ago before they did. Aladdin and the others, with the help of Carpet were making their way out just ahead of the danger. The carpet dashed and picked up Aladdin, Zipporah and Abu and started to take them out of the Cave facing some dangerous obstacles. Zipporah seemed nervous and kept clinging to her brother and was intensively nervous. They ended up going on a wild rise and ended up flying towards the exit.

"Help us!" Aladdin shouts up to the old man, after they ended up almost falling off the stone steps.

"Throw me the lamp!" the man told them.

"Help us up!" Zipporah told him.

"First throw me the lamp!" the man demanded. The lamp was then thrown into his hands and he had very greedy smile. He looked to see Abu helping the siblings up, but he kicked the monkey.

"What are you doing?" Zipporah looked at him.

"Giving you two your reward!" the man told them as he lifted them both up. His voice then turned back to Jafar. "Your eternal reward..." he then dropped them and left them to die. Little did he know, from the impact, Aladdin, Zipporah, Abu and the Carpet were fine and now somewhere else and safe. The greedy vizier ripped off his old man façade disguise and laughed. "It's mine... It's all mi-wait... Where is it?" he saw the lamp wasn't with him somehow. "No! NOOOOO!"


Aladdin was unconscious after his head hit a out-sticking rock. Abu tried to wake him up

Zipporah had been knocked out too, but she woke up first. "Man... What a headache..." she nearly groaned.

Aladdin woke up after being pushed up by Carpet. "A headache... That two-faced son of a jackal!" He then rants, shaking his fist at the roof.

Carpet stayed close around Aladdin and Zipporah for some comfort.

"I can't believe we were tricked like that," Zipporah sighed. "I guess he got what he wanted... Even that old lamp..." she sounded disappointed they didn't get what they were after.

Abu grinned and pulled out the lamp from his vest.

Aladdin looked at it in shock. "Why, you hairy little thief..." he says amused and took the lamp carefully from his friend.

"It's so dusty, i can't read it..." Aladdin says. He then gave the lamp a rub.

As it started to light up, laugh and smoke Abu looked with scared eyes. Ziporrah fell back and looked nervous as the lamp was jolting.

There was a big puff of blue smoke surrounding them and there came out a blue creature who seemed to have a humanoid face with pointed ears, a ponytail and a beard. He appeared to have gold bracelets. "OY!" he looked down at the group. "10,000 years can give you such a crick in the neck! Hold on a sec," he shoved them over, then took off his head and spun it around, sounding relaxed. "Boy, does it feel good to get out of there!"

"Whoa..." Zipporah looked shocked, not sure how to feel around this strange new being with them.

Aladdin looked with wide eyes.

Abu was next to Aladdin, hiding slightly.

"Where you from, kids?" the mystical being turned to them making a microphone from his tail. "What's your names?"

"I-I'm Zipporah..." the girl said, shyly.

"A-Aladdin..." the street rat says quietly, nervously.

Abu looked at the blue creature.

"Aladdin and Zipporah!" the creature beamed, then poofed into a talk show host with their names in bright lights like a movie star. "Hello, Zipporah and Aladdin, welcome to the show, hey, Aladdin, can I call ya Al or just Din? Or how 'bout Laddi?" he then turned int a Scotsman calling for a Scottish dog, only to turn into one and pick up a bone. "Sounds like; Here boy! Come on, Laddi!"

Zipporah rubbed her head. "We must've hit our heads harder than I thought..." she moaned to her brother.

"Yeah, I agree..." Aladdin mutters to his younger sister.

"You guys smoke, mind if I do?" the strange creature asked. He then came close to the siblings, notably around Aladdin. "Say, you're a LOT smaller than my last master. Either that or I'm getting bigger. Look at me to the side, do I look different to you?"

"Wait a moment, I'M your Master?" Aladdin asks, unbelieving.

"That's right!" the strange being put a graduation cap and a rolled up diploma in Aladdin's hand that wasn't holding the lamp. "They can be taught!"

"So, who are you?" Zipporah finally asked.

"I'm glad you asked," the being then took strange forms again. "The ever-impressive, the long-contained, but never duplicated, duplicated, duplicated! Genie of the LAMP!" he then turned into a crowd cheering for his actor guise as he thanked everyone. "Thank you very much, for your wish-fulfillment, thank you!" he reminded them that they could make wishes off him, being a genie.

Abu looked slightly less scared.

"So, you'll grant us any three wishes we want huh?" Aladdin asks him.

"Three wishes to be exact, and ix-nay on the wishing for more ishes-way!" the Genie told them, then turned into a slot machine. "That's it, three! Uno, dos, thres, no substitutions, exchanges or refunds."

"I hope we can be friends, Mr. Genie." Zipporah smiled fondly.

Aladdin still didn't look like a believer about the wishes.

"Master, I don't think you quite realize what you got here," the Genie tried to convince Aladdin, glad at least Zipporah was on his side. "So let's illuminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities!" He mentioned what all they could do with his powers and that their wish was true dish.

Aladdin and Zipporah had many things happen, like being raised on massive columns of food, Aladdin having a shave and Zipporah having her hair styled. It ended with animals dancing on the magic built city and then all of it being sucked back up by Genie in a whirlwind.

Aladdin looked more of a believer now. "So, I can have any three wishes I want?" he asks. Whatever he wished though he would include Zipporah.

"Well, kind of," the Genie told them. "There are some rules, regulations and some conditions we have to go by."

"Like what?" Zipporah asked.

"Rule number one, I can't kill anybody," the Genie sliced his own head off, but wasn't hurt. "So don't ask!" he then put his head back on and looked like a gossipy school girl. "Rule number two, i can't use my powers to make anyone fall in love!" he then turned into a sickly, green zombie. "Rule number three! I can't bring people back from the dead... It's NOT a pretty picture, I don't like doing it!"

Aladdin looked slightly sick at the sight of Genie zombie. "Rules? Regulations? Conditions?" Aladdin starts, planning on getting Genie to fly them out of there.

The Genie agreed, telling them everything.

Zipporah looked at her brother, seeing a scheming look on him and Abu. "What're you up to?" she whispered to them, so the genie wouldn't hear them.

"I'm going to get him to help us get out of here" Aladdin whispers. "Some all-powerful Genie... can't even bring people back from the dead, I bet he can't even get us out of this cave..." Aladdin taunts.

The Genie stomped his foot before the trio. "Excuse me?" he scoffed. "Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And now all the sudden you're running out on me? I don't think so! You're getting your wishes so SIT DOWN!" he yelled, looking slightly scary.

Aladdin looked shocked. The three of them sat on Carpet as Genie joined them.

"Emergency exits on the Magic Carpet are here, here, there, there, here, ANYWHERE!" the Genie told them like a modern flight attendant, then he got them out of the cave and steered them to an island.

The next day Sultan had called Jafar, Jasmine and Lotus into the throne room. "FROM NOW ON YOU DISCUSS THE SENTENCING OF PRISONERS WITH ME BEFORE THEY ARE BEHEADED!" Sultan says angrily.

Lotus looked blankly from her father's side where she had to sit. Jasmine had moved on from her sadness but she looked merely angered with Jafar, even more so when she found out what became of her new friends. Jafar sent his apologies to the Sultan and bowed respectfully. He vowed that it would 'shan't' ever happen again.

"Good, Jafar... Jasmine... Let's all put all this messy business behind us, shall we? Please?" The Sultan asks, practically begging.

Lotus watched calmly.

"The only thing I have to look forward to is this," Jasmine sneered at Jafar, but had assured her father she would try to put it behind her. "When I'm Queen, I'll have power to be rid of you."

Jafar looked at her, a bit insulted, but let it slide. Lotus looked blank and started to play with her hair.

"Go, do whatever, you need to do" the Sultan says to Lotus. "Now about this suitor business..." he starts turning to Jasmine. "J-Jasmine? Jasmine!" the Sultan then shouts, following the girl as she walked off.

Lotus took no notice of the Sultan or her sister. She looked blankly ahead.

"When I am Queen I will have the power to get rid of you!" Iago mocks, sounding just like Jasmine.

Jafar watched the girl and father leave, but didn't notice too much of it. He seemed worried of his punishment and was angry of the downfall of what had happened to him last night in secret. "I would've gotten her if I would've gotten that LAMP!"

"When I am Queen I will have the power to get rid of you!" Iago mocks, sounding just like Jasmine. He then looked at the evil human. "Maybe you should force her to marry you, or you've got one already in your control there..." he suggests, his voice was quiet at the last bit unsure.

"It's that dreaded law with that chump Sultan, he can't change the rules..." Jafar nearly hissed.

"Maybe you should MAKE a rule... You are his advisor..." Iago says, smirking evilly.

"No doubt he'll see through it, even with a little persuasion..." Jafar smirked a bit at his parrot sidekick.

Iago grinned. "Then you could drop Papa-in-law and the little missus off a cliff!" He says smirking, and did an impression of them falling.

Lotus looked over to them calmly.

Jafar laughed with him. "I love how your little mind works." they then spent their time laughing together evilly unaware of where Lotus was and eavesdropping, but not in a sinister way.


"Thank you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your air travel needs," the Genie told them, looking like a stereotypical stewardess while his three new friends had cups of tea. "Please fasten all seat belts and don't leave the carpet until it comes to a complete stop," as he said that, the carpet stopped and formed steps for them to get off. "Thank you! Bye! Bye! Buh-bye now!" he then turned back to his true form. "HA! How's that, doubting Mustafa?" he smirked at Aladdin and Zipporah for doubting his magic skills.

Aladdin looked amused, but impressed. "You sure showed me..." Aladdin starts and then grinned. "Now... About my three wishes?" he asks.

"Dost thine ears deceive me?" the Genie smirked. "Three? Oh, no, you are down by one, boy!"

"Technically he didn't wish us OUT of the cave..." Zipporah explained.

The Genie looked at them, then his jaw literally dropped to the floor and he turned into a sheep. "Well I feel sheepish... Okay you baa-a-ad kids, but no more freebies!" he then turned back to his normal self with magician tricks coming out. "Lets make some magic!"

"Fair enough..." Aladdin had said, he had asked about what Genie's wish would be and made a promise to do it after using his first two wishes. "Well, there's this girl..." he then says, not sure how to word this wish.

The Genie did a buzzer noise. "Wrong! I can't make people fall in love, remember?" he reminded him before he would make the wish of that.

"I know... But she's funny, her eyes are just... Wow! And her hair..." he sighs. "And she's just so, so..." he then continues stuck on the word to use.

"Pretty?" Genie prompted.

"Glamorous?" Zipporah added.

"Beautiful!" Aladdin corrects. He then sighed. "But to stand a chance I'd have to be a.. Hold on a second... Can you make me and Zipporah a prince and princess?" he asks.

"Hmm... let's see," the Genie took out a cook book while wearing glasses and a fluffy pink apron. "Chicken a la King?" he took out a chicken with a crown and threw it aside. "Ah, no! Alaskan King Crab?" he took out Sebastian who pinched his finger and appeared to be in the wrong story. "Caesar salad?" he then gasped as a muscular arm came out with a dagger and he wore a Greek wreath. "AAAH! Et tu, Brute?" he then flipped the page and smiled. "Ah, 'To Make a Prince and Princess'."

"You didn't have to make ME a princess." Zipporah beamed at her brother.

"I wanted to..." Aladdin smiles at his sister. "You deserve it" he tells her. "Genie, i wish for you to make me and Zipporah a Prince and Princess" he says, 'saying the magic words'.

"Alright!" the Genie beamed, eager to make their wish come true, then turned into a stereotypical male stylist with mirrors and he focused on the two street rats. "First, we'll need to get rid of the pants and the scarf, they say too early century if you ask me..."

Zipporah held her scarf, but had to agree. Maybe this makeover wouldn't be too bad, she guessed. Aladdin watched as Genie used his magic to change their clothes. He grinned at his new look. He was in a cream outfit with gold colored shoes, a cape and a blue feather in his turban.

"Okay, now, what should I do with you?" the Genie focused on Zipporah.

"Just nothing pink, please." the girl told him with a gentle, amused smile.

Aladdin waited to see how Zipporah would look. He was interested in what Genie would dress her in.

"Let's see..." the Genie hummed, "Oh, got it!" he then zapped her into royal purple princess attire with a golden tiara that had diamonds and sapphires in it. "What do you think?"

Zipporah stepped away from the genie and her brother to look in the mirror. "Not bad, I guess... I was never the fashion victim."

"You look good, sis." Aladdin compliments.

"I guess." Zipporah smiled sheepishly and rubbed her arm.

The Genie turned into a game show host and was about to give away the grand prize with Abu on the carpet. "With your brand new... Camel! Watch out, they spit." he had transformed the monkey now into a camel.

"Hmm... not enough," the Genie shrugged, changing the monkey again, this time into a pompous white horse. "Still not enough!" he then tried different things such as an ostrich, dog, pig, and even a modernized car. "YES!" he then had an idea that hit him like a ton of bricks. He then turned the small monkey into a giant elephant, though he still had a bit of a monkey tail.

Abu looked at himself in the water in the oasis. He trumpeted in fear and ran up a tree bending it back.

"Wow Abu, you look good." Aladdin compliments looking at Abu's trunk.

"That's a good look for you." Zipporah smirked.

"It's the elephant, they got the elephant, but we're not through yet!" the Genie beamed as he worked more of his magic among the island, fortunately they were alone. "Hang onto your turban and crown, kids, cuz we're gonna make you stars!"

On part of the last sentences, do not you mean "They got the outfits"?
