Three Wishes

Chapter 6

A/N: Okay sorry for not updating sooner, but to be fair, I did give you 5 chapters in one go...so....Anyway, I wanted to add a song in this, and I've never done something like this before, because as you can see I skipped Rotten to the Core (Although its my favorite), so please be easy on me, and I also put the link in. So without further ado, please enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decide to go to the Museum of Cultural History, not my usual getaway, but for the state I'm in, it seems logical. I usually come here at night, the quietness and the artifacts, especially my dad's, makes me feel so calm. Ben always tells me that I would get caught, but that hasn't happened the last 200 times, so I think I'm safe. Hey, I said it wasn't my usually getaway, but I never said that I'm not a frequent visitor. When the sapphire blue mist finally clears, I'm standing in front of a figurine of my dad, which is located in the gallery of heros.

This statue captures every single feature of him except his beating heart. The sad part was that they didn't have a statue of my mother, Eden, although, she never really played a huge role in her story, not like Genie, my dad.

"Daddy, what do I do?" I ask the statue, walking up to it as if it was real, "You taught me so many things before you left, and I'm sorry I was so upset with you that I never listened, but now I need you. I've only met them today...but I...I really...really want to get close to our so called 'enemies', and I don't know what to do. I'm trying to stay strong and not care but...it's hard...."

I knew that the statue wouldn't reply but I asked anyway. I had all these pent up feelings inside that I had to let them out. Although I mightn't look the part, I am one heck of a singer, and singing my heart out was the only way to find my answer. So, I sang.

"Ooooo, yeah.

I didn't wanna listen to what you were saying,

I thought that I knew all I need to know.

I didn't realize that somewhere inside me,

I knew you were right but I couldn't say so."

I stared at the statue as I sang, as if I was talking to my father.

"I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well.

I learned from you that I do not crumble,

I learned that strength is something you choose.

All of the reasons to keep on believing,

There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you."

As if by magic, the statue came to life. Which made me smile, knowing that my father was still near even when he was out of reach. He sang the next part of the song, as if to portray his own feelings as well.

"We always don't agree on,

What is the best way.

To get to the place that we're going from here.

But I can really trust you, and give you the distance,

To make your decisions without any fear."

It seemed that my father left a bit of his magic here, knowing that I would need it someday. Having this 'talk' with his spirt was rejuvenating and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't help but have both of us sing together.

"I'm grateful for all of the times,

You opened my eyes.

I learned from you that I do not crumble,

I learned that strength is something you choose.

All of the reasons to keep on believing,

There's no question, that's a lesson,

I learned from you.

You taught me to stand on my own"

"And I thank you for that"

I couldn't help but give thanks to him, for helping me whenever he could. Then, we went back to singing together.

"It saved me, it made me,

And now that I'm looking back."

We had started alternating between myself singing and then both of us. Dad was already off the podium as we started to dance in a funny manner, my dad being the main cause of it.

"I can say."

"Woooaaahhhh!"

"Hmmmm... Hmmmm... Yeah!"

"I learned from you that,

I learned from you."

"I do not crumble,

I learned that strength is something you choose."

"Something you choose."

"All of the reasons to keep on believing."

"Keep on believing,

There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you.

Woooaaahhhh!

I learned from yoooouuu,

I learned that strength is something you choose."

"All of the reasons to keep on believing,

There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you."

"Yeah!"

"I learned from you."

After that last line together we stopped, looking at each other with such intensity.

"Dad. Thank you." I say, now knowing my choice about the matter at hand.

"No problem Kiddo, now go to sleep," cue the giant yawn from the genie, "leaving fragments of yourself around really gives you a back ache. Have I gotten smaller? Be honest." My dad and his antics. I laugh, which causes my dad to have a big smile on his face. In all honesty, I was really happy that I got to speak with him, although technically it was part of him but who cares.

"Alright dad, and tell mom I said hi."

"Sure thing kid." After giving me a bone breaking hug, he disappears with a puff of smoke. The statue was now back in its original place and it was time for me to head home.

I was about to take my normal genie express when I heard footsteps and voices. But not just any voices, the voices of the descendants.

Jay's POV~

After seeing that room with the creepy statues of our parents I booked it. Mal was still in there, so Carlos, Evie and I decide to continue searching and go back for her when we find it. I'm not really into all this getting the wand stuff so I stick in the back, looking out for the genie lamp instead. Although, in a second a hand is latched onto my mouth while the other pulled me into a corner of the hallway. Then I feel myself being shoved into a room with darkness, that is, until my capturer turns the light on, which reveal the hot girl I met earlier. Gem I think her name was.

"Okay, you have approximately three seconds to tell me why you're here or I zap you into next week." Just to add emphasis on how serious she was, she made her hand spark electricity. I know that she was trying to be intimidating, but she looks really hot right now.

"Alright, no need for violence, my buds and I were just looking around, trying to get comfortable with our surroundings." Okay, that is a pretty lame excuse, even for me.

"Look, I'm really tired right now, so just tell me the truth."

"Um well-"

"Jay!" I am cut off by the sound of Evie's voice. Thank Jafar.

"Well, later." Making a quick escape I open the door behind me, only to have it shut back again with magic.

" This time I'll let you go, but next time I won't let you leave." With that she disappears in a blue mist, finally releasing the spell on the door. I hurry outside and to the others, not caring since the plan would be over in a few minutes anyway, and what just happened wouldn't even matter.

But then why do I feel this odd emotion inside my chest?
