~Flashback~

"Aladdin! Wait up!", said a blue haired teenage girl.

"I 'm sorry, sissy. I'm just excited to have you around!", grinned a 4 year old Aladdin.

"It's fine kiddo, but I'll always be around ."

"You mean it?!"

"Yup, cuz no matter where we are... we will come back to each other."

~Flashback end~

~Adara's POV~ 

I was walking down the streets of Sindria, looking for a certain blue haired trouble making twerp that I call my little brother. It's been a while since we've last seen each other but I sensed his rukh and traced it to the country of Sindria. I wonder what trouble  Aladdin has gotten himself in this time.

You worry about the boy too much

" Of course I do, Chrystanya.  He's my baby brother", I whispered to my necklace.

I have a Djinn named Chrystanya, she is the Djinn of beauty and my best friend. She lives in my necklace as a metal vessel.  She's  my best and honestly one of the  very few friends I have. Being a nomad, I meet a lot of people but I don't make many friends because I'm always on the move and looking for my king's vessel. Nobody seems worthy, or at least I'm looking in the wrong areas. Dad was a great magi, Mom was a magician, so I guess you can say that magic runs in the family.  Last time I saw Aladdin, I left him in a dungeon with Dad's Djinn Ugo. 

I wonder how they're doing. Is Aladdin staying out of trouble? Is he well fed? Please don't be in a red light district! My little brother is a perv, despite his age.  Mom would scold him for chasing his nurse maids because they would quit, causing Mom to find a new one. But now that our parents are gone, Aladdin is all I have left. I was so caught up in my thoughts, that  I didn't even notice that I had collided with a firm chest. I looked up to see a freakishly large muscular man with a blue tribal head band with an antler in it, teal hair in a pony tail, and golden eyes.  

"I'm sorry sir, I wasn't watching where I was going", I apologized

"I'm sorry sir, I wasn't watching where I was going", I apologized.

"No problem", he said. " You seem lost. Are you from Sindria?"

"No, I am but a humble nomad in search of her brother. *stomach growls* And a meal."

"Well, I can help with both of your problems. Follow me, maybe we can find your brother after you've eaten."

I follow him to a restaurant and he orders me food. We talk for a while and I learn that his name is Hinahoho and that he's  one of the Eight Generals to the king. He was looking for his children because they snuck out of the house.

"I'll help you find your kids, Hinahoho. That is if you help me find my little brother", I said as I drank my wine.

"Thank you Adara, I better find them before my wife finds out that they snuck out", he responded. " Maybe you can tell me about your brother. I'm sure we can find him if I knew some things about the boy. Like what does he look like?"

"Well, he looks like me but a smaller male version and  his name is Aladdin."

"Oh, you're looking for Aladdin!? I never knew that boy had a sister."

"You know him?" 

"Yup, Aladdin is in the palace with King Sinbad and a few friends of his."

"Thank you, Hinahoho! Now let's round up your kids."

We scour the streets for the kids. At first we found Kikiriku, the eldest. Then we found his twin sisters and then his two younger brothers. We rallied them up at Hinahoho's house before his wife, Jaliyah, realized that they ever left. I was thanked repeatedly as we walked to the palace.

I walked into the courtyard to see my little brother hugging a blonde boy and a fanalis girl. But he broke away from the hug and ran towards me.

 But he broke away from the hug and ran towards me

"Adara!", Aladdin shouted as he ran to hug me.

"Aladdin! My little weirdo!" , I cheered as I hugged him, earning a smile from Hinahoho and weird looks from Aladdin's friends.

"I missed you!"

"Oh! My little Blueberry, I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"Uh, Aladdin. Who's that lady and why is she hugging you on purpose?", asked the blonde boy, obviously knowing that my baby brother is a little perv.

"Yeah, I've never seen any woman hug Aladdin without slapping him afterwards", said the fanalis girl.

"Guys, this is my big sister Adara!", Aladdin chirped. "Adara these are my best friends, Alibaba and Morgiana."

"Hi! Nice to meet you, it's good to see that my baby brother has friends  to keep him out of trouble!", I beamed at them.

"It's our pleasure, miss. Aladdin is a great kid, but he's...", Alibaba trailed off.

"A pervert? I know, he used to chase his nurse maids and our mother  used to scold him because she would have to get him a new nurse maid."

"Wow, I guess being his sister means that you know him well."

"Yup. After our parents died, I had to provide for us, we later lost our country to the Reim empire burning it to the ground. Aladdin and I  are the only ones left. I had to do my job as a magi so I left Aladdin with Ugo."

"That's so sad", said Morgiana with  tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry for your loss. I was born into servitude, Alibaba is an orphan prince of Balbadd."  

"Wow, I guess we are all in the same boat", I say with a sympathetic smile. "How about since we don't have families, we make one of our own?"

"Huh?"

"I can be the big sister and you guys are my little siblings."

"That's a great idea!", beamed Aladdin.

"Yeah! We can all look after each other like a big happy family!", exclaimed Alibaba.

"And I can be the Uncle who checks in on you kids!", said Hinahoho.

"Yeah, we can call you Uncle Hina!", I beamed.

Aladdin and I finally had what we haven't had in a long time.. a family.
