Aladdin: Re - imagined

Aladdin woke up to total brightness. He rubs his head and sits up. He realizes that he must be in some sort of heaven. "No! I-I need to go back! I'm not ready! He started to drift away and he blacked out. Aladdin woke up in a different place. This time, everything was dark. It appears that he is in the inky blackness of the universe. He looks down and nearly has a heart attack. Aladdin's body has transformed into a girl's. "AAGGHH.... my chest is heavy!" She screamed. Suddenly, there is a voice. An evil voice. "You foolish child. You can't beat me. You can try, but you will fail. Just like all of the others. Here is my first and only offer. You find a way out and you're free. You give up and your soul is mine." It sneered at Aladdin. She looked around for an escape, but there was nothing but stars. It seemed hopeless. Suddenly, a figure came out of the surrounding darkness. It was a girl. But it wasn't just any girl. It was her best friend Abu, turned into a girl. "I know a way out." Abu said. "How?" A shocked Aladdin asked. "You'll have to end me." She answered. "No!! I can't! I'd rather die than kill you!" Aladdin shrieked. "You have to. It's your only escape. I'm doomed, but you don't have to be." She told her. Abu pulled something out from behind her back. The stars glinted off of a metallic object. It was a sharp knife. "No." Aladdin breathed. "You must." Abu put the knife into her best friend's hands. Aladdin leaned forward to give Abu a hug. When she did, Abu dove the knife into her own chest. She whispered into the other girl's ear. "I love you." And with that, Abu was dead. "Noooo!!!" Aladdin screamed in agony. This dark starry world started to crumble away. Again, Aladdin passed out. She woke up with bright lights flooding into her face. She freaked out, thinking that she was in that phony heaven again. Then, Aladdin saw her mother. "Mom." She whispered. Her voice had changed. She looked down and saw that he was a boy again. "Good. You're awake." His mother said, grabbing his face. "Where am I?" He asked. "You're in the hospital, honey." She answered. "Where's Abu?" He cried. "Oh. I'm sorry baby, he died in the car crash." Realization hit Aladdin like a train.

*Flash Back*

Aladdin is in the driver's seat. Abu in passenger. "Uggghh... I hate this song!" Aladdin shrieked, punching the radio in frustration. "Hey! Turn it back on!" The other boy made his protest, reaching for the stereo. "No! You know the rules, the driver picks the music and the rider shuts his cake-hole." The two boys were both bent down, fighting over the console. Abu looked up and screamed. There was a car coming straight at them. Before Aladdin could swerve, they crashed right into the oncoming traffic. Abu wasn't wearing his seat belt, so he was thrown through the windshield. Aladdin's face slammed into the steering wheel, causing him to black out.

I had help and ideas from Yajairah Medrano and Stephen King's It.
