By Michelle Bowen
 
          Look into my eyes you will see
         What you mean to me
             So lets try,lets put our hearts
         Together and we will see
             Take me as I am,
         Take my heart into your hands
         You showed me love
          Though I knew not how to love
              You loved me for being me
          And I love you for that
              Even with shadows of doubt
              We came through shining
          The darkest of  days or nights
              Couldn’t ruin what we have
          What we have is love a
           Pure love.........

  It was a warm muggy day,  the horses and camels weren’t being very obedient
they wanted to stop for shade but the group of people insisted on moving
forward.  They knew that not to far away lay Agrabah they would have plenty of
rest there.
      “Whoa come on don’t do that” a young woman said to the pure white
horse beneath her.
      “Is everything okay Yasmine?” a tall burly man on a camel
asked the young woman.
    “Yes thank you,  Stars just jumpy I can’t figure out why
but something is spooking her” Yasmine said with confusion, she sat up straight
and looked around while shielding her eyes.  “Nothings out there, maybe she’s
just tired or thirsty, lets go” she said while digging her heals in to star just
enough to get the filly to move.  The caravan arrived in Agrabah a couple of
hours after the sun went down,  when they entered the palace courtyard a servant
came and helped with star and the camels, then Yasmine turned and entered the
stable to make sure star was settled in just fine.
    “Jasmine” Aladdin called from the menagerie he looked around and smiled as his
eyes came across the dinner he had set up for her.
    “Aladdin where are you” he heard Jasmine from somewhere inside the palace.
    “Out in the menagerie, hurry I have a suprise for you” Aladdin said while smiling.
As Jasmine stepped out into the menagerie her eyes widened as she saw the table
set for two with two long stemmed roses, and one candle, “oh Aladdin its beautiful”
Jasmine gasped it was all she could manage.
    Aladdin walked over to Jasmine and took her hand “ I
worked all day and Genie and the others helped out” Aladdin proudly announced to
Jasmine.  Jasmine and Aladdin walked over to the table and Aladdin pulled out
Jasmine’s chair and waited for her to sit down before pushing it towards the
table.
    “Dinner is served” Genie said he was dressed like a waiter at a fancy
restraunt.
    “Thanks Genie” Aladdin said as Genie set down the baklava and
caviar with other things like salad, after doing this he quickly disappeared in
a puff of blue smoke.
    “Aladdin I think this is so romantic and I love what
you’ve done here” Jasmine said while looking around the menagerie.
    “Jasmine you deserve all this and more and I intend to give you all I can” Aladdin said
seriously while taking Jasmine’s hand “I love you Jasmine”.
    “I love you Aladdin” Jasmine said lovingly back to him, he was always so thoughtful and
kind.  A few minutes later Genie appeared playing a romantic song and Aladdin
stood up and held out his hand for Jasmine
    ”My princess may I have the honor of dancing with you” he said smiling.
Jasmine smiled back and nodded at Aladdin
putting her hand in his,  they began dancing slowly while staring deeply into
each others eyes.  “You know I fell for you the minute I saw you” Aladdin said,
    “As did I” Jasmine said back and then they kissed it was a very long kiss.  A
few hours later they were inside the palace when Yasmine walked in with the
palace guards.
    “Hey Jasmine I missed you” Yasmine said while walking over and
hugging Jasmine, she then turned to Aladdin “ I missed you too”.   Then she felt
a tug at her skirt when she looked down she saw Iago standing there looking as
though he felt a bit left out, “And of course I missed you Iago” Yasmine said
with fondness in her voice she and Iago got along well.
    “Hi Yasmine how you been” Iago asked while flying up on her shoulder,
    “I have been fine what about you Iago have you gotten any treasure yet”
she asked smiling at him.
    “No none” Iago said with disappointment,
    “well in that case I have something for you”
Yasmine said waiting for Iago’s response,
    “really what” Iago said perking up
immensely. Yasmine smiled at him and handed him a golden ring with a small
gemstone in it, Iago’s beak droped open when she handed him the gift, “Wow” was
all Iago could manage.
 

        A short distance away from Agrabah Mozenrath was standing in the desert with
Xerxes plotting his next attack against Aladdin.   “I think I’m going to see
what that street rat and his princess are up to” Mozenrath said blandly to
Xerxes.
        “Master spy hehe” Xerxes snickered as Mozenrath waved his hand making a
portal like opening with an image of Aladdin, Jasmine and Yasmine with Iago on
her shoulder.
        “Who is that, I’ve never seen her” Mozenrath said with a slight
bit of confusion which he quickly concealed not that there was anyone
intelligent enough to have caught the twinge of confusion in his voice.
        “New girl new girl” was Xerxes response,
        “I know that” Mozenrath hollered at him “I’m
not stupid” he said with annoyance.  “Hmm maybe I should check this out she
could come in very handy” Mozenrath said to no one in particular
        “Check, check” Xerxes repeated.  Mozenrath motioned for Xerxes to comeover next to him and once the eel was there he swung his cape over him and Xerxes and they both
disappeared in a blue ball of Magic.  When he reappeared he was inside the
palace hiding in the dark so that no one would see him,  he watched as Yasmine
handed Iago a ring of some type.  Someone can actually stand that bird Mozenrath
thought in astonishment, Xerxes almost blew their cover as a palace guard walked
by he put his head out just a little Mozenrath quickly grabbed the eel and gave
him an annoyed look.
    “Jasmine its been a long time since I have been here”
Yasmine said to her friend “We have alot of catching up to do” she said.
    “Aladdin, Father if you don’t mind  I  will leave with Yasmine to talk about
everything that has happened” Jasmine asked them.
    “Umer I am going to be with Jasmine if you would like to retire for the night then go for it” Yasmine said to the tall burly man.
    “I will Princess” Umer said bowing deeply to her, and
then turning and walking away.  Jasmine and Yasmine turned and left the room
heading for Jasmines room, Mozenrath followed them carefully listening to every
word that the two exchanged,  her name is Yasmine and she appeared to be of some
realation or a friend of Jasmine’s, Mozenrath thought carefully, and he couldn’t
help but think that she was beautiful. Whats wrong with me he thought with
aggravation he never acted this interested in a woman until now.  There was
something different about Yasmine that interested him what was it, why can’t I
figure this out he thought angrily to himself.  Suddenly the girls turned and
went into Jasmine’s room, perfect he thought happily I can listen from the
balcony.  Jasmine and Yasmine talked for about two hours in this time Mozenrath
learned alot about Yasmine and what had happened with Aladdin and Jasmine in the
past few months.  Then Yasmine said something that grabbed his attention,
“Jasmine I have been having alot of trouble lately with my parents they want me
to marry soon but I have not found anyone yet most of them are boring and stuffy
and have no sense of adventure, one of them told me that if I marry them I have
to stop doing  magic” Yasmine said with desperation and aggravation at the same
time. Magic what would this woman know about magic but still those final words
filled his thoughts for a few minutes before he heard Jasmine and Yasmine say
goodnight, he got up and the disappeared he needed to go back to his citadel and
think this over.
 
        Once there he paced all night long thinking of no one but Yasmine and the whole
time he had a tiny little smile on his face.  He kept Xerxes out of the room
while he thought about her he had no want for Xerxes to be in the room he needed
to be alone.  How will I meet her he thought again and again each time he came
up with the conclusion that Aladdin or any of his friends would just interfere
so how would he get the answers to his questions all these strange but awfully
wonderful feelings, feelings that he never felt.  “Oh whats the use, she
wouldn’t even want to talk to me I’m sure that streetrat has told her all about
me”  Mozenrath said with frustration, he was so confused and yet when ever he
thought of her a smile would cross his lips, but why he thought why could he not
get his mind off of her.   Just then the sun came up and it was only then that
Mozenrath realized just how tired he was so he decided to rest for a while and
then come up with a way to meet Yasmine.
 

        “Wow Agrabah sure is beautiful just like I remember” Yasmine said inhaling a
deep breath of the fresh morning air, she and Jasmine had decided to go on a
horse back ride through Agrabah and maybe even outside the city.
    “It sure is”
Jasmine said smiling at her friend who looked like all her cares and worries
were suddenly lifted from her shoulders.
    “I haven’t felt this carefree in
months”  Yasmine said with an exhilarated smile on her face.  Jasmine and
Yasmine turned their horses into an alley way, Jasmine wanted to show Yasmine
some different things about Agrabah that she had just recently learned.  There
was a family of four a mother and father with two young children a brother and a
sister, they were all happy and smiling.  “Yasmine these are some of my friends
they are Azeem, Azur, Akime, and Liandra” Jasmine said to her friend.
    “Pleased to meet you all” Yasmine said smiling warmly at the four people.
    “Pleased to
meet you we have heard so much about you from Jasmine” Azur said smiling up at
Yasmine, “from what I have heard you are a kind smart young woman the kind I
hope Liandra grows up to be.”  Liandra stepped forward and began to pet star on
the muzzle
    “Can I ride your horse” she asked Yasmine,
    “Yes you may Liandra”
Yasmine said smiling warmly, “Now you behave yourself star you have a young
rider on your back” Yasmine whispered to her horse with a smile.  She dismounted
off of star and lifted Liandra up onto her back “there you go now hold on to the
reigns and be careful not to scare her” she said to Liandra as she took the
reigns in order to lead her horse around.  Jasmine dismounted her horse also and
had Azeem lift a much bigger Akime onto Desert Flower, she lead her horse around
after Star and Yasmine both children were having so much fun and soon it was
time for Yasmine and Jasmine to leave.  “Goodbye see you soon” they both said
waving to the family.   Once they were back inside the  palace they went to the
menagerie where Aladdin, Abu, and Iago were watching Genie and Carpet play
horseshoe, for once carpet was taking it easy on Genie who thought that he had
found carpets weak game.  Yasmine and Jasmine walked over to the Aladdin and the
others and sat down to watch the remainder of the game.

             After a couple hours of rest Mozenrath had come up with a plan and
now all he had to do was to put it into action. He quickly disguised himself as
a common citizen of Agrabah,  “there now there is no way they can recognize me”
Mozenrath said looking at his disguise with disgust why was he making himself
dress like this all to get to know a woman.   Xerxes attempted to follow
Mozenrath out the door “No wait Xerxes” Mozenrath said turning him into a horse,
“thats better, now lets go”  Mozenrath said as he mounted Xerxes, he had changed
him to a pure black horse with brown eyes.  With a flash of blue magic they
disappeared and reappeared just few miles from Agrabah, “I need someway to make
her notice me so I can talk to her, but how should I get her attention without
arousing Jasmine’s attention?”  Mozenrath thought of this as Xerxes trotted into
Agrabah, first things first Mozenrath thought turning his attention to finding a
place to stay for the time they were to be in Agrabah.  “Ahh over there comeon
Xerxes hmm maybe I should find you a different name I am going to call you
midnight you will respond to that until we are home you will not mess up and no
talking” Mozenrath instructed the eel/horse. Xerxes trotted over to a shambly
looking building and Mozenrath dismounted and walked over to the door and
knocked after a few minutes of waiting a dirty man came to the door and asked
him where he would prefer to stay “The room nearest to the top of the building”
he instructed the man while looking at him with disgust.
    “Very well sir” the
man led Mozenrath up to an empty room and said “you will need to put your own
horse in the stable sir.”
    Mozenrath glared at the man and said “fine I’ll do
that soon enough I have some business to deal with okay” he walked out of the
dirty poorly kept room.  He walked out the front door and mounted Xerxes “Yah”
he said kicking Xerxes sharply in the side, Xerxes quickly moved forward.  “She
must be around here somewhere, lets check the alleys and the market place” he
steered Xerxes in and out of a few alley ways and then proceeded onto the market
place where he bought some food and a small amount of hay for Xerxes.  When he
couldn’t find Yasmine and saw no sign of Aladdin or Jasmine in the market place
he turned for the old shambly building and then got up and decided to go to the
palace and try to see Yasmine again.

            “I had so much fun today, I love the sunset in Agrabah, Jasmine you
and Aladdin are so lucky you have someone to love to hug and kiss just to hold
and well I wish I were that lucky” Yasmine said to Jasmine.
    “Someday you’ll
find someone you think is great and then I will be happy for you and him no
matter who he is”  Jasmine put her hand on her best friend’s shoulder and smiled
at her causing Yasmine to smile they both hugged each other.
    “Hi am I
disturbing something here” Aladdin asked cautiously,
    “No you can come in now we
were just talking” Jasmine said.
    “Well I think I am going to go out in the
menagerie for a few minutes” Yasmine said to Aladdin and Jasmine.   As Yasmine
walked out into the menagerie she remembered the feelings she had been
experiencing the night before while she and Jasmine were talking she felt
happiness flood over her at times and then it was like there was someone
watching them she thought it was just her imagination she wished that it wasn’t
the case because she felt so many great feelings when she thought that.   “Maybe
someday I’ll meet him someday” she sat down on the fountains edge and looked
into the water with a far away look in her eyes.  She slowly ran her fingers
through the water,
    “hello Yasmine”  she heard the voice come from the shadows.
    “Whose there, w..where are you”  she demanded,  Mozenrath stepped out of the
dark being careful to make sure that Aladdin and Jasmine weren’t anywhere
nearby.
     “Yasmine, I am Mozenrath” he carefully watched her face to see if she had ever
heard of him when no sign of recognition came across her face he was inwardly
relieved.
    “Pleased to meet you Mozenrath, so are you a wizard or something” she
hoped she hadn’t been rude in anyway, for some odd reason she felt she knew him
then it hit her and she asked him “why were you watching us last night.”
    Shock
came across Mozenraths face had she seen him no there was no way, “How did you
know I was watching you.”
    Yasmine  stood up and looked at him carefully to see
exactly how truthful this man was infront of her “ I felt your presence I don’t
know how or why but I thought I was imagining someone being there.  Yasmine
smiled at him, he is handsome she thought,
    “Well I am Mozenrath Lord of the
Blacksands” he said looking at her, she didn’t even seem in the least bit afraid
of him, she seemed to like him from the look on her face.  “Yasmine will you go
on a walk with me tomorrow, don’t tell Jasmine or Aladdin” he said with some
worry that she would say that Mozenrath had asked her on a walk.
    “Very well I
won’t Mozenrath I would love to go on a walk with you if you had a horse we
could go on horse back ride” she smiled at him the feeling of pure joy filled
her heart, Mozenrath suddenly remembers Xerxes in the stable.  “Yes I have a
horse we will go on horse back ride then”  he smiled back at her that happy
feeling was going through his heart again the feeling he couldn’t figure out but
he was starting to like it alot.
    “Yasmine how long are you going to be out
there” Jasmine asked from the balcony, Mozenrath hid just in time.
    “Only a few
more minutes Yasmine said, Jasmine walked back into her room, when Mozenrath
came back out he looked up at the balcony.  “Mozenrath why did you hid from
Jasmine” Yasmine asked with confusion,
    “well she would ask alot of questions” he
said lamely.  “I must be going Yasmine  I will see you tomorrow in the market
place I will come to you” he said and he quickly kissed her cheek then
disappeared before Yasmine could react.  She walked over to the fountain and sat
down smiling widely with her hand on her cheek she felt as though she was
floating through the air.  Then she got up and walked into the palace, as she
entered Jasmine noticed that she had this happy expression on her face and was
smiling and daydreaming.  “Yasmine you look happy” Jasmine smiled at her,
    “Well
I am going to bed now goodnight Jasmine” she said hugging her friend, and
walking toward her room while humming happily and then entering her room.

            “What came over me why did I give her a kiss” he shook his head in
confusion it was like someone cast a love spell over him but no one had done
that.  “These emotions are so confusing, but I am getting used to them”  he said
half to Xerxes and half to himself.  Mozenrath turned to Xerxes and said “I am
going to rest now make sure nothing happens while I am resting” he said  this
with a menacing look on his face as if to say if anything happens its your hide,
then he turned and went to his room.
        The next morning when Yasmine went to breakfast she waited for Jasmine to come
before walking up to her  “Jasmine I am going on a horse back ride today is it
okay if I go alone” she asked.
    “Sure but why do you want to go alone” Jasmine
asked her looking a little puzzled,
    “I just want to go and see a few things for
myself” she explained,
    “Okay” Jasmine understood how it was to want to see the
world outside of the palace.  So shortly after breakfast Yasmine mounted Star
and waved goodbye to Jasmine and Aladdin,  “Comeon star” she said while nudging
the horse forward.    Star abruptly broke into a trot once they were in the
market place Yasmine pulled back on the reigns and Star slowed down to a slow
walk.   “Well he should be here soon” she said to herself while looking around
to see if he had yet arrived but she couldn’t see him anywhere.  Yasmine
dismounted for a minute to buy some fruit for Star and her,  “Have a good day”
she said to the rather grumpy merchant who only smiled slightly.  She then
mounted star again and nudged her forward once again, she had star go toward an
empty place in the market place to wait.  Within a few minutes Yasmine saw a
poor looking man approach her on a midnight black horse,
    “hello Yasmine” was
all he said but she was sure she knew this man
    “hi do I know you” she said
unsurely.
    “Its me Mozenrath” he whispered,  “Come with me into the alley” he
said normally while steering his horse into the alley.
    “So whats your horses
name” Yasmine asked curiously while following him,
    “Midnight” was all he said.
    “So why are we going into the alley” she asked she knew she was asking way to
many questions at once and he seemed to be getting abit annoyed.
    “Well people
here are afraid of me” Mozenrath said with a matter of factually tone to his
voice he seemed very proud of that fact.  Why are they afraid of him, how could
anyone be afraid of this man she thought with confusion, he seemed nice maybe a
little proud but that didn’t really bother her.
    “Mozenrath are you ever....”
she paused,
    “am I ever what” he asked,
    “lonely” she blurted out.
    Mozenrath paused and thought for a moment and then said “yes sometimes but not always” he
looked at her and waited to see what she had to say when she looked at him and
was about to say something
    “I am lonely alot, but not always” was her reply
also.   They smiled at each other acwardly and then continued to walk on through
the all still watching each other but not saying anything.   “So where do you
want to go I have all day” Yasmine said to Mozenrath trying to break the
silence.
    Mozenrath looked over at Yasmine with a questioning look on his face
“So you trust me” he had never had anyone trust him.
    “Yes I trust you, I
haven’t had a reason not to trust you”,  a smile came across Mozenraths face
that was really brilliant.  She trusts me this is really different no one I know
has ever trusted me,
    “Well where would you like to go I can take you there
faster than these horses can” he half boasted.
    “Well I have always wanted to
see one of the oasises around here” Yasmine said slowly while she thought of
some other places.
    Suddenly Mozenrath takes her hand “get ready here we go you
need to come next to me” he said while tightening his grip on her hand as she
moves toward him.   Then with a flash of blue they disappear leaving their
horses behind, when they reappear they are in the most beautiful oasis, Yasmine
gasps at the site before her there are a few water falls and alot of bushes and
birds and even a couple of deer nearby.
    “Where is this place” she asked turning
to Mozenrath with aw showing on her face,
    “near my kingdom” he said.”
    Yasmine
inhaled the fresh air and then turned to him “lets get closer to the water I
want to see the water falls” she said to him taking his gloved hand and she
began walking toward the water with Mozenrath trailing behind her. “Wow its nice
here” she said as they approached the water, she sat on the bank and took off
her shoes putting her feet into the cool water.  Mozenrath sat down next to her
and looked into the water looking at her reflection next to his.
    “Its so quiet
here its a good place for thinking” he said to her while glancing quickly at
her. Yasmine nodded in agreement as the cool water mist from the water fall hit
her face it was a refreshing  retreat from the heat of the day.    Mozenrath
even found himself enjoying the oasis and being with Yasmine was a lot of fun,
“do you think we could go over there to those flowers” Yasmine said breaking
into his thoughts, he looked to where she was pointing at some lilacs, roses,
and a wide arrangement of other flowers.
    “Sure”  he said standing up and
following Yasmine to where the flowers where, he wasn’t wild about flowers but
he didn’t mind this at all.  Yasmine went around smelling the flowers before
finally picking a batch of roses and lilacs and then sitting down next to
Mozenrath and putting the flowers near him
    “here smell these” she said handing
them to him.  Mozenrath looked at her skeptically for a minute and then turned
his head and smelt the flowers the smelt really nice
    “they smell nice” that was
all he said and then he wondered if she ment for him to keep them he couldn’t
give them back it might offend her.  What should I do he thought then he set
them on the ground and looked over at Yasmine
 smiling happily at her, she was so different from the other girls.  She didn’t
worry about her hair and simple things like that, she just had fun and wasn’t
judgemental otherwise she would have never come here with him. “So are you
having a good time Yasmine” he asked her slowly,
    “Yes this oasis is beautiful
and I like being around you”  she smiled at him radiantly.  Yasmine and
Mozenrath spent the rest of the day talking and laughing,  it was almost sunset
when they noticed the time but neither of them cared the just sat there and
watched each other carefully for a few minutes.
    “I had alot of fun today, I
haven’t had this much fun in a long time, maybe even years” Mozenrath said
taking Yasmine’s hands she smiled at him
    “I had fun to” Yasmine said laying her
head on his shoulder.   To Mozenrath this was totally a new thing and he was
slightly confused but just let her keep her head on his shoulder he actually
didn’t mind,  he looked down at Yasmine who had her eyes closed for a moment
before opening them and smiling up at him. Yasmine lifted her head from his
shoulders and the two were looking into each others eyes and then Yasmine
started to move toward Mozenrath and she kissed him.  Mozenrath kissed her back
and the whole time they were kissing his mind was thinking a million things at
once none of them made sense,  then they stopped and looked at the sinking sun
still smiling at each other.  Yasmine was the first to break the silence by
saying “I need to get back to Agrabah before Jasmine notices I have been gone so
long”,
    “Okay lets go then” he said getting up and taking her hand then throwing
his cape over both of them they reappeared in Agrabah and some how Star and
Midnight had stayed still and Mozenrath was back in disguise.
    “I’ll see you
soon Mozenrath” Yasmine said as she mounted Star and headed toward the palace.
 

        “Yasmine where have you been we got worried when it got dark” Jasmine ran up to
her friend as she dismounted her horse.  Yasmine thought about the answer
quickly
    “I was with a friend” this was all she said although she tried to hid
the exillerhated look on her face she wasn’t very good at it.
    “So what did you
do that made you so happy” Jasmine asked her friend smiling at her and waiting
for her answer,
    “Well we talked and he showed me around Agrabah” Yasmine said to
Jasmine.
    “He” was all Jasmine said while smiling at Yasmine,
    “do you mind if I
go up to bed now I am really tired?”
    “Sure” Jasmine said taking Star “I will put
her in for the night for you” she walked off with star before Yasmine could
protest.   Yasmine went up to her room and walked out onto the balcony with a
couple of pillows she intended to sit outside for awhile and think about
everything that was happening between her and Mozenrath.   Before long she had
drifted off to sleep, Jasmine walked into check on her best friend, when she saw
her on the balcony sound asleep she took a blanket and covered Yasmine up and
then turned and left.

        Mozenrath didn’t go back to his room for the night instead he walked around
Agrabah and was doing some serious thinking trying to figure everything out.
Finally after alittle while he got tired and went back to his room.  As he
walked through the door of the motel he turned midnight back into Xerxes and the
eel swam after him to his room.  “Xerxes should I tell her everything about
myself or just wait for awhile till I know she is ready and won’t be mad at me
or hate me, love its so new I wish I knew what to do”  Mozenrath said sitting
down on his bed and putting his head in both hands and looked at Xerxes he knew
he wasn’t asking the right person er um eel.
    “Tell, tell her the truth” was all
Xerxes said to Mozenrath, he knew that for once Xerxes was being intellegent,
    “I am going to tell her tomorrow, if we love each other everything will be fine” he
tried to reasure himself of something he knew nothing about, no one had ever
shown him love, he had never felt love, all of this was just too new to him.
After eating something Mozenrath went to bed and slept for a few hours.
 
 

          Azool had been watching Mozenrath and Yasmine the night before and all
that day, Mozenrath had stolen his brothers kingdom, he will pay he thought
angrily to himself.  “Finally I have a way to get back at Mozenrath, I have
found his weakness, and I will use it against him” Azool thought about his
revenge happily.   Azool disappeared from the alley where Yasmine and Mozenrath
had just left, and reappeared in the palace. I will wait till she and all of her
friends are asleep before I make a move he thought to himself.  After he was
sure everyone was asleep he went into Yasmine’s room but she wasn’t there then
he noticed someone moving out on the balcony, he carefully walked toward tha
balcony where Yasmine was asleep.  He smiled to himself this would be easier
than he thought,  Azool bent over and lifted Yasmine from the floor.  As he
picked her up she woke up, it took her a minute to react since she had been
sleeping.  Suddenly without warning he picked up his cape and disappeared into
the night with Yasmine.

 
        The next morning Jasmine walked into Yasmine’s room to wake her up “Comeon
Yasmine walk up” she said as she walked into her room and out to the balcony
Yasmine wasn’t there. Maybe she got up early and went to breakfast I’ll see her
then Jasmine thought calmly to herself although she thought it was a bit odd
that Yasmine hadn’t even taken care of the pillows and blanket which was cast
aside carelessly.  “Good morning” Jasmine said as she walked into the dining
room where her father and Aladdin were seated
    “Wheres Yasmine she isn’t in her
room and she isn’t here” Jasmine looked from Aladdin to her father to see if
maybe Yasmine had said where she was going.
    “I don’t know” Aladdin said
shrugging,
    “Neither do I dearest” the sultan said.
    “Well she isn’t in her room
and she left her blankets on the balcony and she isn’t here” she turned and left
heading toward the stables to see if Yasmine had taken Star to the market place.
As she entered the stable it was clear that Star was in her stall, Jasmine
walked over and looked inside to see if Yasmine was caring for her, before long
there was a search going on throughout the palace and into the market place.
    “Theres no sign of her Princess” Rasoul said bowing as he told Jasmine of the
news.
    “Your sure you looked everywhere” was all Jasmine could say,  then
Aladdin and Genie came in on carpet looking exasperated and confused.  “Jasmine
we looked every where, she’s just gone, its like she disappeared into thin air”
Aladdin said while taking her hand in his and giving her a hug.

             “Who are you” Yasmine demanded of the stranger who stood before
her, “and what do you want with me why did you kidnap me” she continued to
holler at the stranger.
    “I am Azool, I have brought you here so I can have my
revenge on Mozenrath, now shut up” he said to her, Yasmine just continued to
glare at him and was about to say something when she was knocked unconcious.

        “Have you heard about the Princess’ friend” one of the merchants said to the
disguised Mozenrath.
    “What about her” he asked while looking at some fruit that
would serve as his breakfast.
    “She is missing, she just vanished like that” the
merchant said snapping his fingers, as the merchant said this Mozenrath dropped
the fruit which smashed as it hit the ground.
    The merchant eyed the broken
fruit “You’ll have to pay for that” he said bluntly to Mozenrath,
    “do you know
anymore about the Princess’ friend, and I will pay for that” he said knowing
that if he got himself into any trouble he wouldn’t be helping Yasmine.
    “No I
don’t thats all I heard” the merchant said greedily taking the money that
Mozenrath handed to him,  suddenly with out warning an arrow shot through the
air hitting the stands pole the merchant ducked.  Mozenrath eyed the arrow there
was a piece of paper tied to it,  he grabbed the arrow and untied the paper and
lifted it up and read it. It said *Mozenrath I have your precious Yasmine if you
want her come face me, you will find me in the land of the shifting sand I am
Azool, You destroyed my brother Destane, You will pay.  I will harm her if you
don’t come, you have till sunset. signed Azool*.   Mozenrath stepped into the
alley and disappeared, Aladdin and Jasmine were standing in the menagerie when
they saw Mozenraths entrance.
    “You what have you done with Yasmine” Aladdin
hollered at Mozenrath who quickly handed him the note.  As Aladdin and Jasmine
read it they were both shocked by what it said especially the part of *your
precious Yasmine* and * I will harm her*.
    “Mozenrath what does he mean by your
precious Yasmine” Jasmine asked walking over to a mad Mozenrath.
    “What was your
Yasmine’s excuse for being gone all day yesterday” Mozenrath asked her,
    “she said she was with a friend” was Jasmine’s reply.
    “Well I am that “friend” we
went to an oasis yesterday and talked all day, Jasmine I love Yasmine” Mozenrath
said to Jasmine who looked quite shocked.  “He took her to get back at me for
taking Destane’s kingdom Azool is his brother he hates me and now he found my
weak point” Mozenrath said slamming his hand on the tree next to him.
    “You love
Yasmine” Jasmine said to herself,
    “Yes” Mozenrath said,
    “Well where is the land
of the shifting sands” Aladdin asked stepping toward a very distraut Mozenrath.
“Its just beyond my kingdom, we need to work together Aladdin I am willing to
cooperate with you if your willing to do the same for me” Mozenrath said holding
his hand out toward Aladdin.
    “Very well I agree with you” Aladdin said, “Now
lets go” Jasmine said also shaking Mozenraths hand as well.  Mozenrath lifted
his cape over Aladdin and Jasmine and the three disappeared in a blue blaze, and
then reapeared in a dark and dreary palace.
    “Oh this is just plan out creepy”
Jasmine said shivering,
    “reminds me of your place, Mozenrath” Aladdin said,
Mozenrath glared at Aladdin then remembered what they were here for and stopped
before he said anything rude he knew Aladdin didn’t mean it in the way he said
it.  The three continued on through the palace in silence, except for the
ocasional squeak from a mouse it was quiet.
    “Where are we supposed to go”
Mozenrath said with frustration and anger,
    “why don’t you call his name maybe he
will hear you and come to us or tell us where he is” Jasmine suggested even
though she knew it sounded a bit dumb but what other options did they have.
    “AZOOL” Mozenrath hollered at the top of his lungs.
    “So you finally decided to
show up” Azool said appearing with Yasmine, who looked rather angry and ready to
kill Azool.
    “Let her go Azool” Mozenrath said looking crossly at the man before
him,
    “No I want my revenge and I will have it” Azool said glaring at Mozenrath
he had not yet noticed Aladdin and Jasmine sneaking around him toward Yasmine.
    “You want your revenge then come and get it you spinless fool” Mozenrath
hollered at Azool,  Jasmine and Aladdin were right next to Yasmine.
    “Don’t
insult me you stupid fool” Azool had his attention focused fully on Mozenrath
and was ignoring what Yasmine was doing.
    “Come on Aladdin hurry” Jasmine barly
whispered in his ear, finally the locks on the chains where broken.
    “Get over
here now” Mozenrath hollered at Jasmine, Aladdin, and Yasmine,  Azool came
closer thinking that Mozenrath was hollering at him.  Then suddenly he was hit
with a blast of power and knocked to his knees,
    “What happend, Mozenrath you
didn’t do that so who did” Azool said glaring at his enemy.
    “I did” came a young
girls voice from behind him, Azool turned around and saw Yasmine running by him
with Aladdin and Jasmine infront of her.
    “You get back here right now” he said
to Yasmine, who shot him the what do you think I am crazy look.  “Get over here”
he continued to tyrade, Mozenrath hit him with a strong bolt of his magic
knocking him right into the wall. “Shut up you stupid fool” Mozenrath said
glaring angrily down at the wizard,
    “I will get you someday you’ll see no
matter where you go I will find you” Azool continued.  Mozenrath quickly knocked
the man out and turned to Yasmine
    “Are you alright” he asked her,
    “Yes I am
fine” she said hugging Mozenrath who returned her hug.
    “Lets get out of here”
Jasmine said after watching them hug she had a smile on her face and so did
Aladdin the two were hugging.  Mozenrath and Yasmine went over next to Aladdin
and Jasmine and the four disappeared.  Once the four were back in the palace
Aladdin and Jasmine left the two alone,
    “Mozenrath you really came through for
me your my hero” Yasmine said taking Mozenraths hands and continueing on “your
the first man who was willing to risk his life for me and I love you.”
    Mozenrath looked down at Yasmine and smiled down at her “I love you too” he said
and the two began to kiss again.  Aladdin and Jasmine smiled as they watched the
scene before them the Aladdin turned to Jasmine
    “Who knew Mozenrath would ever
fall in love” he smiled at her “I am happy for Yasmine she has been unhappy for
a long time and now look at her” Jasmine said while waving her hand toward a
smiling Mozenrath and Yasmine.
        The End ( well not quite but as they say until another Arabian Night)
