Aladdin

In the woods.

Archie "Echo, i don't think chasing after a red bird is a very effective form of therapy"

Me "Last time, he took me to the Oracle. He'll do it again. She knows what's going on with my visions"

Archie "she say she knows, but i can actually help you"

Me "this is not dream interpretation."

Archie "we are making progress"

I shook my head"Like hell we are. My hands are still shaking and the visions are still haunting me, despite all the hours on the couch. So, no more talking. Today we do something"

then i saw the Oracle sitting on a fallen tree.

I walked over to her "hello?"

Then i touched her. Her body fell limp to the ground.

My jaw dropped.

Archie "oh no. is she?"

I nodded "yes"

Archie "but who coul-"

Me "shh"

I heard rustling and footsteps.

Then i saw someone running away.

The person tripped and fell to the ground.

I rushed over to her and turned her around.

It was a woman.

At the Sheriff's station.

Snow "i guess Shirin was after more than just a fulfilling in education"

Emma "if that's even her real name. Let's go find out"

Charming and her walked into the interrogation room and sat down across from Shirin.

Emma "okay. Let's talk. Who are you really, Shirin? what are you doing here? let us help you. Tell us who you are"

Shirin "i - i can't tell you. I 've had to keep my true self secret for many years. In the Land of Untold Stories, Hyde he could use this against me. "

Charming "Hyde's dead ."

Shirin's eyes widened "Really?"

Emma nodded "yeah, he's gone. you don't have to be afraid of him"

Shirin "i'm Princess Jasmine of Agrabah"

Snow and i looked at each other.

Jasmine "and i swear to you, i am innocent of this crime. "

Emma"i believe you"

Jasmine froze "Really?"

Emma "i have, kind of, a superpower"

Charming "so, if it wasn't you, who was it?"

Jasmine "i have no idea. That girl, she was my friend. She was helping me find a man who i cared about a long, long time ago"

Emma "Aladdin?"

Jasmine asked surprised "you know him?"

Emma shook her head "no, i just saw the movie. It's a this-world thing. But where is he?"

Jasmine "i wish i knew. He was quite special. He was the siphoner"

My jaw dropped.

Charming froze "what?"

Outside.

I put a bag in my car.
