**Kelly**

Kelly followed the guy in the purple vest down the left alleyway. She felt bad for not going with Rose, If anything happened to her, Kelly didn't know what she would do.

CRASH!

Kelly glanced back as she heard something fall from behind. To her horror she saw that Rose had hurt herself and was now laying on the ground and three guards were surrounding her.
"Rose, no-" Kelly was about to yell when a tan hand covered her mouth. "Be quiet." he whispered, "Unless you want to join your friend there." The boy took his hands off her mouth and pulled her into the shadows of a corner as two other guards passed them.

"The other two street rats escaped!" the fat guard reported to Razoul. He passed right where the pair were hiding. Kelly shrunk closer to the man and he held her protectively around the waist.
"Oh well, at least we've got one of them. I wonder what punishment Jafar will give her." the other not so skinny guard sneered. Kelly wanted to slap that sneer off his face. Before she could squirm out of the guys arms to beat up the guard, the two guards walked away. After listening to their decreasing steps the man removed his arms from Kelly's waist.

"I think it's safe to come out now." The man stepped out into the sunlight and started petting the monkey on his head and smiled " Those guards can never catch up to us Abu!" Kelly finally got a good glimpse of his hair and clothes and gasped. "You're Aladdin!"

Aladdin looked at Kelly with utter confusion. "How do you know who I am?" Kelly cover her mouth, realizing she shouldn't have said his name without thinking of a good explanation first.

"Ummm, well, who hasn't heard of the famous street rat Aladdin?" Kelly stuttered. "Even from where i'm from I've heard stories about you."

Aladdin raised an eyebrow, not believing what Kelly was saying. "And where exactly is it that you come from?"
oh crap, Rose was right. I really should think before i speak."Oh far far from here. Further then you've ever been i'm sure." Kelly chuckled nervously. Aladdin folded his arms around his chest and narrowed her eyes. Still not buying Kelly's story.

God he's just not giving up! Suddenly Kelly came up with a story to tell Aladdin. "Well actually, my sister Rose and I escaped from my father because he was forcing Rose to get married to a 40 year old man." Aladdin's eyes started to soften as Kelly continued telling the lie. "Rose refused to marry him so we both ran away and we have no money and we don't know what to do!" Kelly's eyes started tearing up, but it was mostly because she was worried about Rose and wanted to go try and save her somehow.

Aladdin touched Kelly's shoulder sympathetically and Abu leaped onto Kelly's other shoulder and hugged her neck. It's amazing how much a monkey can make you feel better. Aladdin spoke softly,"I'm so sorry, uhhh."

"Kelly." Kelly reached for Aladdin's hand to shake it but then realized that they probably don't do that in Agribah. Aladdin raised an eyebrow at Kelly's outstretched hand and answered. "Kelly, I'm sorry about your family situation. Abu and I will help you get Rose back."

Kelly was so happy that Aladdin was going to help her save Rose that she threw her arms around Aladdin and hugged him tightly. Abu, still on Kelly's neck, chattered loudly from surprise. "Thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me!"

Aladdin just stood there surprised for a moment, but then gently returned the hug before pulling her away. "You can stay at my place with me and Abu until nightfall, when we can go to the palace dungeon without being seen."

"OK, cool!" Kelly was now excited. She'd only been in Agribah for 10 minutes and already she was going to Aladdin's place. "How do we get there?"

Abu leaped from Kelly's shoulder and started climbing up a stone walled building until he was on the top, which was about ten feet in the air. Aladdin pointed up to where Abu now stood, "We're going to have to climb." Aladdin placed his hands on the wall, getting ready to head up. Kelly stomach lurched, "One problem Aladdin, I'm terrified of Heights!"

**Rose**

Rose clenched her teeth together so she wouldn't gasp in pain every time she accidentally stepped on her throbbing ankle. The two guards beside her kept shoving her and saying "Stop lagging behind street rat." Rose hated them with a fury that burned deep inside her chest. She would have tried to escape if it wasn't for her ankle. Yet, even if she hadn't injured her foot she probably wouldn't have tried to escape. Rose was curious as to what the inside of the palace looked like (and wanted to meet a certain Grand Vizier)

They had reached the gate connected to the wall surrounding the palace, separating it from the rest of Agribah. Razoul opened the gate and Rose's mouth opened wide in awe. The palace was even prettier in real life than the Disney movie. The marble,white walls gleamed in the sunlight. and the whole structure of the palace was Beautiful!
"Stop that staring street rat!" Razoul shoved Rose hard and she landed hard on her side. While the guards were walking Rose to the palace, they had bounded her hands behind her back with rope so Rose couldn't use her hands to cushion her fall.

Rose turned on her back and was about to cuss Razoul out when the two guards picked her up by her arms and continued to lead her towards the big door to the palace. There were two guards at the entrance and when they saw the group they opened the doors then closed them when they entered with a loud BANG!

Rose's heart started beating frantically as she looked around the room. There was gold furnishings everywhere and even a recognizable table covered with toy trinkets. Despite her situation, Rose rolled her eyes at the sultans child-like hobby.

Razoul led Rose through the throne room until she was only a few feet in front of the sultan. Razoul and the two guards bowed before the sultan. The two guards forced Rose into a quick bow before standing back up. Razoul spoke, "Your Majesty, this girl was found in the marketplace today."

The sultan looked at Rose curiously. "Why is this young girl here? what has she done wrong?" Rose flinched, Young girl? Rose was 18, she was not a young girl!

"She was arrested for indecent exposure and for helping that street rat Aladdin steal apples."

"I wasn't stealing those apples, I was running away because the guards were chasing me!" Rose protested

Razoul raised his arm as if he were about to slap Rose. "Silence you incompetent ingrain!" Rose ducked her head at his booming voice.

"Razoul, that will be enough. I will take care of the situation from here." The sultan waved the guards away. "You are dismissed. But before you go, kindly remove these girl's bindings. I hardly think they're necessary."

Razoul looked at the sultan as if he was about to protest. Then thought better of it as he took out his sword, cut Rose's bindings, and led the guards out.
Once they left, the sultan smiled at Rose with warmth in his eyes. "I am terribly sorry if the guards caused you any trouble. It looks like you aren't from around here. Where do you come from?"

Rose rubbed her sore wrists nervously, unsure of what to say. " I am from another desert town far from this one." Rose replied.

The sultan, not being very smart, accepted that answer. "Well, Welcome to Agribah! Where you're from you must dress differently from here."

Rose looked down at the stone floor. "Yes we do. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone by my clothes. I didn't know there was a law about dress code in Agribah."

The sultan shook his head. "You've done nothing wrong dear. Mistakes happen to all of us."

Before Rose could thank the sultan for his kindness, the door to the throne room opened and a tall, dark figure with a parrot on his shoulder entered. His black and red robes swayed behind him as he approached the sultan. Rose froze and didn't dare to look towards the man approaching her and the sultan.

The Sultan turned towards the dark figure and smiled widely. "Ah Jafar, my most trusted adviser, i'm in desperate need of your services". Jafar smirked and bowed down low towards the Sultan as he replied in his sultry voice. "My life is but to serve you my lord."

The Sultan waved his hand towards Rose. "This girl is new here and in need of a place to stay."

Jafar turned his gaze to Rose, "Hmm, What is your name girl?"

Rose looked up and her heart did a belly flop. Staring into Jafar's dark brown eyes, Rose forgot that she even had a name.
