“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! HAHA!”

Saleen clapped her hands together. “Every time I’ve tried to snag Aladdin, it’s always been on my turf! So this time I’ll turn the tables on him.” The witch glanced at her pet Armand. “Aladdin’s a fresh water creature and what do these people need in the-“ Saleen made a face and fanned herself, “-excruciatingly hot desert? Water!” She swam in circles around her pet. “One spell and Aladdin will lose his memory to me. Others have tried it before, but not the way I’m going to do it.” She took two of Armand’s tentacles in her hands and spun him round. “I’ll charm Aladdin’s drinking water and poof! His memory will be gone!”

She dropped Armand’s tentacles to begin her swim to the surface. “But instead of leaving him on land, I’ll drag him down here with me! Princess Jasmine will never know that her boyfriend’s lost at sea, and he’ll never know that he was her boyfriend!”



Mirage's soft laughter echoed through the cavern. Like a cheshire cat, her grin appeared first, then her eyes, and finally the rest of the apparition.

"Purrrrfect. While you distract Aladdin, *I* will take the Wand."



Aladdin had been helping to rebuild furniture that had been badly damaged in and outside of homes after a windstorm rocked Agrabah the night before. The work was hard and tiring, but Aladdin was determined to help the community put itself back together as quickly as possible. Even Genie had spawned himself into a horde of construction workers. Aladdin knew that by the end of the day, with everyone’s efforts, a great deal would be accomplished.

During a break, Al headed towards a well and began to crank the handle to bring up a bucket of water. Abu sat slumped against his left leg.

“Great work today, Abu! We’ll be done pretty soon, don’t worry.”

Abu merely waved a paw and Aladdin laughed. “Here, I’ll get you some water.”



Saleen appeared at the bottom of the well and looked up. As luck would have it, Aladdin happened to be at this particular spot! Excellent! She zapped the bucket he was pulling up with a bit of magic and folded her hands together, waiting...



Aladdin pulled out the bucket, some water splashing over the side. Abu lept out of the way as it came down and his eyes went wide when a small display of smoke rose up after the liquid make contact with the ground.

"Awaddin, Awaddin." The monkey pulled on Aladdin's pant leg.

"Don't worry, Abu, you'll get your water in a second." He tipped the bucket back and took a drink. Abu screeched and scrambled up Aladdin and pulled at his hair, being to little to push the bucket away.

"Abu!!!" Aladdin cried out and dropped the bucket of water. A trail of smoke followed the stream the water made as it rushed out into the street.

"What the...." Aladdin breathed, bringing his hand to his throat.

Abu waved a paw in front of Aladdin's face and slapping his cheek with the other one. The man shrugged the monkey off.

"I'm fine. I think." No sooner were the words out of his mouth, did Aladdin sway forward, clutching on to the side of the well.

"Awaddin!!"



Mirage's apparition vanished from Saleen's underwater cavern.

Back at her lair, she drew away from her crystal and gave a malicious chuckle. "Once Saleen as Aladdin fully in her grasp and the princess distracted, the Scepter will be mine."



When Aladdin fell forward, a geyser shot up from the well, drawing the attention of some passerbys. With the spring of water, came Saleen and grabbed ahold of the front of Aladdin's vest.

'Gotcha!' she sang, and yanked the man forward, so that he tumbled over and into the well as the water descended.



Abu screeched when Saleen emereged and Aladdin cried out when he was pulled down the well. The monkey scrambled up to the edge of the well and peered down, watching Aladdin sink lower and lower.

"Genie!" Abu lept off the well and darted through the streets, looking for the big blue guy who could probably help. Knoing Genie, he and his construction worker spawns were probably napping!
