"Mhh.." I groaned as we hit the ground. My eyes were still closed, but I assumed we were back in front of the dungeon.

I wasn't far off.

I was sitting in front of where the entrance used to be, on the last step. The only thing that was wrong was that the tower was gone. There was no dungeon, just stairs.

"What..?" I got to my feet and began looking around for the genie. "Aladdin!" I called out.

"Aladdin-" I looked down and noticed the golden shackles still attached to my wrists. "Aladdin.."

I started down the stairs, noticing the city in a panic. In every street, guards from the palace marched around, ordering the citizens inside, not to come out.

Even from all the way up where I was, I could here guards shouting, "Find her!"

It was just a hunch, but I was afraid they were searching for me.

I ran as fast but carefully as I could down the stairs. I needed to get out of this city.

"Take the back street," The voice of Aladdin surprised me so much, I fell backwards.

"Wha..? Why have you been so silent until now?"

"The escape of the dungeon left me pretty powerless," He explained.

"I was sleeping until a moment ago."

"Oh ok, sorry." I resumed my mission of running towards the city.

"Look! What's up there?" One of the guards shouted as I came into viewing range of the people.

"Its her! Get her!" They shouted, and one by one they changed there course from the city streets, to the beginning of the stairway. 

"Gaahh!" I yelped as I began running so fast I couldn't see my legs. "Allllaaadddiiinn!" I yelled, my voice vibrating from the force of the speed.

I finally reached the bottom of the stairs. The guards greeted me with spears pointed. "Come with us," They cooed.

"We wont hurt you."

"Aladdin? What now.." I asked aloud panting.

He remained silent. "Aladdin?!"

One of the guards advanced and snuck up behind me. "Got er'!" He told the others in victory as he pulled my hands behind my back.

"Aladdin!!" I screamed as they all joined their comrade in hoisting me on top of their backs and carrying me back to the palace grounds.

We made our way through the capital city, finally reaching the gate. "There you go!" The captain of the guards -I suspected- yelled over to the other side.

"Got her back for you!"

As the gate slowly opened, they let me down. One last time, I tried calling out to Aladdin, but to no prevail.

"You know, I'm wearing a dress!" I said blushing as I flattened it back down. "Hehe.." The guards chuckled in lust.

"Disgusting little.." I trailed off as the gates fully opened, revealing the prince and a few maids, Alyssa included.

"Morgiana!" Natsume and Alyssa yelled in union. "Haha.. yeah I'm okay," I blushed again, not being used to being worried about.

The prince ordered the guards away and led me into the palace after a quick -and awkward on my part- hug.

"I was so worried when Crystal told me you were kidnapped," Alyssa managed when the prince wasn't looking.

She didn't look like her normal self, crying. Her eyes were a puffy red color, and she looked like a normal fifteen year old.
