Woo, getting a lot of positive responses for this story! Hehe, I'm kinda glad I decided to restart writing this story. I like it. I'm also thinking about doing another story to follow the TV series with Kendra.

If I do that though, I'm gonna change it so that it takes place after the third movie instead of the second. So, some things will be different, but not much. I'm have a poll up that you can go to and vote on what I should do. Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 22:

After Iago and Cassim talked, I walked quickly to catch up with Aladdin. But my mind was mostly on what was to come. Knowing what was going to happen was cool, but it sucked that I knew Cassim would hurt Aladdin. I wish there was something I could do, but that would probably end up drastically changing everything, and maybe for the bad.

I sighed as I joined Aladdin in the main room of the forty thieves lair, where Aladdin and Abu were. A minute later, Cassim and Iago joined us.

"My men will show you to a room you can stay at for the night. Kendra, can I talk to you?"Cassim asked and I nodded.

Two thieves walked away with the others to show them their room while I followed my adopted father. I was curious as to what he wanted, but I had a feeling on what it was. Cassim lead me to the top of the cave where Aladdin had his giant show down with Sa'luk. I stood awkwardly as I waited for Cassim to speak.

"How did you know who I was, at the wedding? I had never met you before, but you talked as if we've known one another for our entire lives." Cassim finally asked and I sighed.

Genie was the only one who knew about my secret. I never told Aladdin or Jasmine or anyone else. Should I trust Cassim with this knowledge? I did not know if he could be trusted.

"Let's just say pop that there is a lot more to me than you or anyone else will ever know."I finally answered, keeping it as vague as possible.

Cassim raised an eyebrow. "You do have a secret then? Does Aladdin know about whatever it is you're hiding?"He asked and I felt guilt squeeze at my heart.

"The only one who knows everything about me is my husband and he is the only one who ever will. I'm not a bad person, father, I just have a past I'd rather not talk about."I answered, almost pleading with him to believe me.

My father nodded. "I believe you, though I was unaware you were married." I smiled at the thought of my goofy husband. Cassim would meet him soon enough.

"Yep, and I'm gonna have a little girl too, as the oracle told me. You'll meet him when we return to Agrabah."I grinned as I touched my stomach.

My father raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "How did you know I was going to go back to Agrabah with you?"

I once again grinned, but this time sheepishly. "Like I said dad, there are some things that you'll never know about me."

The next morning, Dad, Iago, Abu, and I were standing outside of the lair watching Aladdin as he flew around on Carpet. I grinned at my brother as he zoomed around the area.

"Hop on, Dad!"Aladdin shouted as he and Carpet flew over us.

"Oh no! It's a rug, you sweep dirt under it, you don't fly on it. At least, I don't."Dad refused as he shook his head stubbornly.

"Don't be afraid, it's fun!"Aladdin laughed as he circled dad.

"I am not afraid! Now, get off that thing before you break your neck!"Dad once again refused, not budging.

"Aw, c'mon dad. Carpet is awesome, he'd never let anything happen to us! I can't even count how many times he's saved our life."I spoke up as Aladdin landed beside me and jumped off Carpet.

"I trust Carpet with my life!"Aladdin said before turning to Carpet. "Give 'em time, he'll come around."

Cassim: began walking up some stairs. "We'll take horses. Horses were good enough for my father, and his father before him. And they were always good enough for me."

"He sounds like a father, alright."Aladdin muttered to Abu and I couldn't help but agree along with Abu.

Our father led us to the stables and lent Aladdin and I a horse. I remember growing up and always riding horse at Kristy's grandparents house. We would go there and ride horses all through out the forest.

I grinned as I followed my family through the desert, ready to go home to be with Genie and everyone else. And of course to get ready for the second wedding, even if it was going to fail.

A few hours later we arrived back in Agrabah. The Palace was fixed up once more, looking exactly like it did before the thieves destroyed it. I grinned, I knew he could do it.

"Looks like Genie has everything ready..."Aladdin spoke as we walked past the place where the wedding had been held.

"Genie? You have a Genie? Have you used all three wishes yet?"Dad spoke up, looking at Aladdin with excitement.

"Oh, please, don't go into it. It's just too painful."Iago groaned and I couldn't help but snort. Those memories might be painful for him, but they were the best days ever for me.

Genie suddenly appeared. "Oh, Al! You're back! And you're front! You're both here!" Genie exclaimed as he hugged Aladdin.

"That's great Genie..."Aladdin started, but Genie had already turned to me.

"Kendra! Your alright too!"He laughed as he hugged me. I hugged him back as I also laughed.

"Yes, I told you I would be. I even stayed out of the most dangerous parts. I made sure no harm became of our baby."I promised before giving him a quick kiss.

The expression on dad's face was priceless. But before anymore words were exchanged, Genie's attention turned back to Aladdin.

"Security's tight. No big crowd, immediate family only."Genie explained happily.

"Perfect, because this is our..."Aladdin started, but he was once again cut off my by very excited husband.

"No lowlifes this time, other than the parrot of course. Observe..." Genie pulled out a remote and pushed a button. A giant robot came out of the ground.

"You have violated the perimeter of the Aladdin and Jasmine wedding; prepare to be vaporized, thank you."The robot spoke as a laser shot toward the group. Everyone ducked quickly.

"Armed and dangerous. I'd like to see one of those Forty Thieves get within an inch of your wedding."Genie announced victoriously as he made a gesture with his fingers.

"Allow me to introduce..."Iago started and my father finished with, "Ha ha, the King of Thieves."

"Ah! All units, we have a code red."Genie yelled.

"Code red" is suddenly echoed about as dozens of Genies in army uniforms came out of all corners of the Palace. Another posse of Genies, as Scotsman wearing kilts, appeared.

"Come on boys, follow me!" The Genies approach the group, playing bagpipes. Another posse of Genies appear, as soldiers on horses. "Calvary commence! Code red!"

A plane flies over the palace. Genie soldiers jump out, each saying something different. "Geronimo! Arapaho! Navajo!" The last Genie is dressed as Pocahontas. "Pocahontas! Code red." Hundreds of Genies carrying guns surround Cassim and Iago. "Do not attempt to move, or we'll be shooting ourselves."

Aladdin and I break through the crowd. "Genie!"We both shouted as we tried to stop him.

"Back off, you two. This creep has a yellow sheet as long as my arm."Genie said as he blocked us from our father.

"Genie, meet my dad." Aladdin spoke up. "Our father."I added in, not letting anyone forget that I was adopted, even if not legally.

"Stand down boys, smoke 'em if you got 'em." Genie announced as the other Genies disappear. Genie approaches dad. "If you're their dad, and the King of Thieves, I just wanna know one thing." Genie started, seriousness written all over him. Not literally though, course, you never know with Genie!

"Yeah?" Dad challenged, raising an eyebrow.

"Will you be having the chicken or the sea bass?"Genie asked as he made a tuxedo and a bowtie appear on him."

"Come on, Dad. I can't wait for you to meet Jasmine and the Sultan."Aladdin grinned, but he was stopped by Genie before he could go anywhere.

"Ahem, Al? Don't you think we should lose the 'Agrabah's Most Wanted' look?" Genie asked as he pulled down a poster reading "Agrabah's Most Wanted." Cassim's head was is in the place of the picture.

Dad shook the poster away from him. "What's wrong with the way I look?" He asked, not liking where this was going.

"When you're here, you're not the King of Thieves." Aladdin pulled down Cassim's mask. "You're Kendra and I's dad." Aladdin answered.

Dad pulled the cloak away from his head. "I've had more practice being the King of Thieves..." He said almost nervously

"Oh, Come on, enough of this dark past. Let's roll out something a little new."Genie grinned and the music suddenly started through the air. Genie began singing.

It's a big, bright, beautiful future.

Genie was in the sky as a constellation.

Thank your lucky stars you're alive

You've got someone special to talk to

Genie turned in to Siamese twins.

A friend that you can trust for life

You've been on your own with no family ties

Genie made a tie appear.

But those solo days are done

You'll be two of a kind, spending quality time together

Genie wraps the tie around Cassim and Aladdin. I watched in the background in amusement. I liked this song.

As father and son.

Genie appeared on a ship and another Genie flew by on a fish.

Building model ships

Takin' fishing trips

Working hand in hand

A paint can appeared in Cassim's hand and Aladdin started pushing a lawnmower. I was sitting on a rocking chair floating around everyone.

Painting the palace, mowing the sand

Cassim and Aladdin appear on a football field. The ran around with the ball, laughing and having a good time. I stood on the side lines, wearing a cheer outfit and holding pompoms.

First and ten to go, with your daddy o.

Once you break the ice

Genie hit the football field with a hammer. It fell away into blocks of ice. Aladdin, dad, and I landed in a spaceship, driven by Genie.

You could postulate paternal advice

Aladdin, Cassim, and I were dropped out of the spaceship. We fly by Genie, dressed as Albert Einstein.

I see you're traveling at the speed of life. That's the theory of relatives.

It's fine, fantabulous future

Cassim dropped, but was caught on the branch of a tree. Genie was the tree.

I see fruit on the family tree

You'll be great as a grumpy old grandpa

Three Genie babies appear on Cassim's knee. Dad smiled at them as if they really were his own grandkids.

Bouncing babies on your knee

Genie turns into a basket ball. We all begin to play basketball and Aladdin gets on dads shoulder to make a dunk. Genie pouted at his defeat and I giggled.

You could fall asleep on the comfy couch, after playing one on one.

Dreaming back to back that you walloped the Shaq

Together, as father and son.

Cassim, Aladdin and I began driving bumper cars. Cassim and Aladdin sing the next two lines, dad first then Aladdin.

May be a bumpy ride

We'll make it side by side

Next we are dropped into a roller coaster. Genie, dressed as a blonde woman, drops the safety bar.

Good afternoon, I'll be your travel guide

Move over laddy make room for daddy

Cassim was now standing on Genie's shoulder. Genie cut up some paper and folded it to reveal the forty thieves. Then he folded the paper make up and unfolded it to reveal a cut up of Aladdin.

Got a whole new shoulder to cry on

Take a chance now, give it a spin

You've had chums for paling around with

But you've never had a friend like him

Genie is now a mob don at a restaurant. Police sirens begin to go off and dad runs for cover. Aladdin and I were standing on the side through out this, laughing.

Put your checkered past behind you now

No more living on the run

The Brady Bunch opening screen appears, with Aladdin as the top middle square, dad as the bottom middle square, and I as the top right. Genie appeared in the other squares.

Face the big, bright, beautiful future together, together, together, together...

Genie squeezed us all together and when he unfolded his hands once more, dad was now dressed in a blue robe and a red shirt.

As father and son...

Right after the song, we all made our way towards the Throne room where Jasmine and the Sultan were. After a quick hello, Aladdin introduced Cassim to Jasmine and Sultan. Cassim bowed before Jasmine.

"My boy Aladdin must have been born under a lucky star to find such a treasure."Dad stood and smiled at Jasmine.)

"You are most definitely Aladdin's father."Jasmine stated with a small smile.

A DNA strand appeared in Genie's hand. "I have the DNA to prove it." He said seriously. I laughed quietly and took Genies hand after the strand disappeared

"It must have been dreadful, trapped by the Forty Thieves!"The Sultan exclaimed, unaware of the looks of horror Aladdin, Genie and I exchanged.

"Uh oh..."Genie muttered and I secretly agreed. Please follow along dad! We really didn't need a big mess before the wedding.

"I try to block out the memories..." Cassim sighed dramatically, stepping away from the group and looking up as if remembering unpleasant things.

"Say no more, not another word on the subject!"The Sultan nodded and dad turned back to face the Sultan.

"Yes, let's turn our attention to happier thoughts. The blessed union of our children!" Cassim exclaimed as he picked the Sultan up and hugged him.

"Indeed..."The Sultan gasped out, surprised by dads sudden hug. I laughed, grinning at my happy family.

"It worked Genie! They love 'im!"Aladdin also laughed.

"It's the hat. Nothing does the trick like a smart chapeau." Genie said as he took off his scalp.

"Ah, back among civilized people, back among family..."Dad sighed, relaxing slightly with happiness.

"It's more than that. All he needed was a second chance." Aladdin said and I hugged my brother to show my agreement.

Aladdin hugged me back as I heard dad say "...It's a miracle."

After introductions were completed, I left to go find Kristy. She was once again in her room. She spent a lot of time in there. Mostly because of all the lovey dovey atmosphere. I had Genie, Jasmine had Aladdin, she was the only girl with out someone. And the last guy she married was a total freak.

I knocked lightly on the door and Kristy opened a second later.

"Kendra! You're back!"She exclaimed as she pulled me into a crushing hug. I laughed at my friends excitement.

"Kristy, you should've known I'd be fine! I mean, I have only seen the movie a thousand times, I know whats gonna happen." I grinned and pulled away.

"I know that, but I still can't help but worry. After all, who knows what changed since we came here. Plus, you're pregnant."

I laughed for a second time. "Yeah, but only like two weeks pregnant. I shouldn't even know, and I wouldn't if not for the Oracle The baby wouldn't have been affected."I shrugged.

"She would if you were stabbed in the stomach."She huffed, and I shook my head with an amused grin.

"C'mon, let's go for a walk. I don't want to stand in your doorway for twenty minutes."I suggested after a second of silence.

"M'kay, just let grab some shoes."She said as she turned around and ran back into her room. I waited patiently for a minute before she reappeared. "Alright, let's go."

We walked through the palace hallways, chatting about anything and everything. She asked what happened back at the lair, at least the parts you don't see in the movie. I explained to my best of my ability.

When we arrived at the garden, I noticed dad was also outside, sitting on the edge of the fountain. "Dad?"I asked curiously.

He turned around and smiled at me before he noticed Kristy. And when they locked eyes, I'm pretty sure I disappeared from their world. A silent conversation seem to be exchanged as they looked deeply into one another's eyes.

"Dad, this is my friend, Kristy."I introduced, but I don't think they heard me. Kristy walked over to my dad and joined him at the fountain.

Figuring I was no longer part of this conversation, I laughed lightly and turned around to make my way back to my room. Who would've though it? My dad and my best friend, interesting.

I walked back through the Palace hallways and to my room. Genie was already there and in bed. I quickly through on my pajamas and joined him. It had been a long day and I was tired. Genie's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close. I snuggled into his chest before closing my eyes and falling straight to sleep.

(Another chapter is done! Hehe, did you expect the Cassim/Kristy pairing? I thought it would be fun. I'll probably have more involving them later, but for now, hope you liked the chapter! And don't forget to arf my dear friends! Alert, Review, Favorite!)
