Worlds Colliding

It was one of the lazy mornings in the palace, and princess Jasmine was pacing the castle nervously. Though she loved Aladdin, she wasn't sure she was ready to marry him, even after everything that had happened.

If anything, the events of the past had only served to increase her determination to find herself, her passion. It was crucial to do so before she could make a bond with another.

How can you expect someone to accept you as you are when even you are not sure who that is?

Yes, Jasmine was a princess, but she wanted to be so much more than that. Only being Aladdin's wife wasn't the answer either.

Suddenly, Jasmine stopped, shock coloring her face. Where moments ago, her feet were treading, a door appeared out of nowhere.

She was cautious, having in mind her foreknowledge of what magic was capable of doing. Yet, she could not curb her curiosity. After all, the type of magic involved didn't seem to be in any way connected to the one she had experienced.

Taking a deep breath, Jasmine decided to let her adventurous spirit guide her for a change. Leaving her princess self to be guarded by Rajah, she set off on an adventure.

"I promise I'll be back in time for the wedding. I just need to go and find myself first. It might be my last opportunity to have an adventure before I am to be trapped by the life I was born into." Jasmine said.

She gently stroked Rajah's head as he looked into her eyes with deep sadness, understanding more than any other animal would.

"You be good and take care of Aladdin for me," Jasmine said as she moved towards the door.

"I love you," she added.

The last thing she heard before stepping through was Rajah's low growl that was both a sign of affection and a warning.

The moment Jasmine passed through the door; the most powerful light she had ever seen blinded her. It felt as if it was burning away her eyesight, and to her utter embarrassment, Jasmine screamed in pain.

"Well, this is new. I usually don't have gorgeous women barging into my home." A male voice said, sounding amused.

Jasmine squinted, trying to survey her surroundings. However, all she could see were different colored metal men that terrified her even more. There were no humans around, yet the voice she heard sounded strangely human.

"Are you an alien or something?" the man asked her.

"I am not sure what you mean?" Jasmine said, trying to keep her calm.

After all, Jasmine was a princess, and princesses didn't cower in the face of danger.

"Did you come from another planet?" he asked.

"Oh, no, not at all. I was just in my kingdom, and I passed through this strange door, and I found myself here, metal man." Jasmine said.

"It's Iron Man," he said.

"I beg your pardon?" Jasmine asked, confused.

"I am Tony Stark. I AM the Iron Man." Tony said.

"Oh, I see. My name is Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. It is a pleasure to meet you." Jasmine said as politely as she could.

"Princess Jasmine? Agrabah? You mean like in Aladdin?" Tony asked.

"You know him?" Jasmin perked up.

"We haven't had the pleasure of meeting, but I do know about him. Well, I didn't see this coming. I thought you were one of those aliens that keep trying to destroy us. But this is even weirder." Tony said.
