The One Who Protects

Ndidi, Aladdin and Alibaba!

"Aladdin! Really! You can't just hop into some carriage and start eating the fruit in it without consent!" A girl complains to a young boy, Aladdin.

The girl's brown hair is held by yellow ribbon bow, the ponytail pulled into a braid and clipped at the end with a sakura blossom. She wears a blue and yellow top with small, yellow topazes decorating it, the sleeve popped out and the top stopping right under her chest. Light blue, satin, translucent cloth hangs long enough to hit her navel. Her bottom is a similar design with the satin covering her back, reaching mid-thigh. Her left foot is wrapped in some type of metal with the bottom yellow, the middle blue and the top green. A wooden staff twisted along its length is supporting her stance, an emerald heart with 3 columns of diamond-shape alexandrites implanted inside.

Aladdin has blue hair pulled into a long braid. He wears a turban with a ruby hanging from it. His chest is wrapped in bandages and his vest is blue. He wears a pair of white puffy Arabian pants and nothing covers his feet. A golden flute with the 8-pointed star at the tip hangs from his neck.

"But the fruit is so delicious Ndidi~!" He giggles, his mouth stuffed with the watermelon. "Even so, what if someone catches us? What will we do then?" Ndidi questions, trying to get him to rethink the situation. Right on cue, a blonde teen opens the carriage tarp and looks inside, shocked. "Hey....you two.." He breathes. The brunette freezes. I told you Aladdin! Aladdin turns to the boy, his belly chubby, still holding his half-eaten melon. "Oh hi! I'm Aladdin,a traveler! And this is Ndidi, my friend!" He introduces cheerfully, not seeming to understand that he's covered in the evidence. Ndidi groans and bows her head. "Right now, I'm making a meal out of this sweet fruit, see?" He holds up the melon, his tone never dropping the emotion.

Alibaba rushes over and grabs Aladdin by the vest. "Don't see me..." Ndidi grunts and yanks Aladdin away, holding him close. "Careful how you grab him!" She barks. "Hey, is Alibaba around?" A voice from outside calls. The blonde immediately freaks out and rushes out the cart, covering the inside to hide the girl and young boy. A mini argument carries to the ears of the pair and soon, the tarp covering the cart is opened once more to reveal that Aladdin has returned to feeding on the fruit while Ndidi continues to fret over it. The man shows high disgust and yells at the shocked teen. "Alibaba, what is the meaning of this?!' He demands. The blonde looks away, trying to come up with an excuse. He looks up when he hears Ndidi shriek out the bluette's name and sees him burying himself inside Budal's, the man who yelled at Alibaba, manboobs.

Ndidi is quick to pull Aladdin away and bow in respect at the showing. "My apologies sir! I tried to get him to not do things like this, but he couldn't help himself. And could you blame him? He is a growing young boy!" She pleads, hoping to get an emotional edge. Alibaba was kneeling next to her, also asking for forgiveness, Budal was far from being full of mercy. He roars in anger and smothers his foot into Alibaba's head roughly, yelling curses and basically demoting him, and the girl cant help but feel guilty. I mean, he was sentenced to long work without any pay!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL SLEEPING?!" Alibaba yells angrily, kicking Aladdin out. Although, he's greeted by an angry face and a staff glowing purple. "Ahaha....miss..." He begins, backing away from the fuming girl. Ndidi huffs and scoops up Aladdin. "We're following you. So hurry up." She snaps, causing the blonde to grumble and head towards the marketplace. After a little bit, Aladdin's soft voice speaks out. "Hey mister, those dungeons you mentioned last night..where are they?" Ndidi narrows her eyes. So Aladdin got curious and couldn't help but ask, eh? Oh well, he was bound to learn someday. Alibaba stops and points at a looming golden tower behind some buildings. "There." Aladdin and Ndidi crane their necks to see and the boy's eyes widen slightly. "That's a dungeon. It appeared 10 years ago..It's the 27th dungeon, Amon...I'm going after it, along with all the other dungeons there are and clear them before anyone else, becoming the most richest man in the world." Alibaba begins walking again and Ndidi is quick to follow. Big ambitions for a man like him. He has determination, i saw it yesterday. It'll only get him so far. She muses.
