[Open] 1,001 Nights

In Faiyz, Nala was in her room. Although she denied it, she secretly hoped Simba would be different from the others. She was tired of the arrogant jerks that kept asking for her hand. Sure many of them had been handsome, but she wanted someone who was kind, who'd treat her with respect, someone different. But she wondered if there was a prince out there like that. She sighed before getting into her bed, and falling asleep.

The days had passed. Now it was time for Simba to leave for Fayiz. Everyone had gathered outside to say goodbye. Genie was there as well. Simba waited for his parents to bring him a horse or a camel to ride into Fayiz on. "No, that's not enough," Genie said. Simba chuckled. "Not enough?" he said in unbelief. "Yes, not enough. A prince such as yourself should ride into the city in style," Genie replied. Simba chuckled again. "Ok. I wish for a more impressive mode of transport," he said. He intended this as a a joke, but Genie misunderstood. "Very well, Master," he said He then began to think of what he should grant. Suddenly, it came to him. "Yes! Esalalumbo shimin dumbo!" he shouted as he conjured an elephant from out of thin air. Simba's jaw dropped. In his mind, he knew he had accidentally wasted his second wish. Genie went up to him. "Like it, Master? However, we're not through yet. Hang on, kid, because we're going to make you a star!" Genie shouted as he conjured more royal belongings. Fireworks burst all around them.

Kovu watched in awe. The cub was glad he was still going with Simba. Maybe he could do his part since he understood that girls liked guys who were good with kids. Kovu then had a thought. " He Simba, you did use two wishes already, so go a head and free Genie." Kovu said to his future brother. Koivu did also hope simba would wish for mufasa to adopt him. After all, having a theif in the family could prove useful. "Or maybe you could wishe for your dad to adopt me, then I could become Genie's new master and free him with wish number one?" Kovu said with a playful smirk.

Vitani was awestruck as well, watching all thing Genie made until she heard Kobu's request.

"Wait. What if you free him and we run into trouble on the way to Faiyz or on the way back? Sure Kovu's got cool new stuff, and I'm sure you'd be great with practice. But can we risk it right now? Kovu or I could use Genie for a wish to get us out of any trouble we pass. Once we come back here, then you can wish him free. Better to be safe than sorry. Right?" said Vitani.

Zira smirked seeing the quick thinking over her daughter, as she nodded.

"My daughter is right your highness. Especially with your new additions to our group the Genie has made. We can't be too careful. There may be thieves out there in the desert." said Zira.

Eden had amazed at the sight, but listened to the discussion before nodding.

"Maybe they're right. A few more days wouldn't hurt. And you'd still have your third wish to free him when we return." said Eden.

Simba headed towards the ramp Genie had conjured for him to get into the elaborate seat on the elephant's back. He first looked at Kovu. "That would be a good idea, Kovu, but I want your adoption to be your own accomplishment. That way, as you get older, you have something to look back on and be proud of," he said. He then turned to Vitani. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine," he said. Scar glared as he got onto his camel. Simba got into the seat on the elephant's back. Just then, Genie shapeshifted into a parade major in fancy clothes. "Well, are we ready? If so, let's get this show on the road!" he exclaimed.

" Just one moment." Came the voice of Sarabi, and behind her were several servents and some guards, most were packing a some horses and camels. "I'm coming with you all. It's been ages since I saw my dear friend Sarafina, and I think some distance between Mufasa and myself will do us both some good." She said. Serveral guards were already mounted up. " What do mean your high..I mean mom?" Kovu asked as Sarabi ruffled his head. "Lets just say the sultan can be too stubern than normal at times." Sarabi said to the cub as she followed him and Simba up the ramp. "Simba's down to one wish, and he hasn't freed the Genie yet." Kovu explained. Sarabi chuckled. "Well Simba, you did promise the Genine his freedom after using the first two wishes, I think you should honor that Promise now, besides, he might repay your promise with loyalty." Sarabi smirked at Simba.

Simba looked at his mother. "I know, Mother, but I wasted my second wish here. I promise I'll free him in Fayiz," he said as he prepared to board the elephant. He climbed into the seat on the beast's back. He looked down at his mother and little "brother". "Well, is everyone ready?" he asked.

[Mike0908]

"You're right Simba. No point in worrying about problems now. I'm ready to go." said Vitani.

Eden was slightly relieved Sarabi was coming as well. She felt uneasy around Scar and Zira, and Vitani was a mystery to her. While Eden had spent time with Simba and Kovu, Vitani appeared to spend most of the time with her parents.

"I am to. This is going to be fun." said Eden.

Zira was annoyed at Sarabi's joining them, but she couldn't really refuse her request. She glanced at Scar, wondering how this would affect their plans.

"I'm ready as well. Glad to see you could join us Queen Sarabi." said Zira, putting on a fake smile.

OOC: Ok, time for the parade.

Simba was ready. It was now time to go. The prince and everyone with him set off for Fayiz. Some time later, In Fayiz, Selim was having an important discussion with Sarafina. Nala and Kas'im were sitting there listening. Just then, a loud trumpet fanfare sounded. Kas'im ran to the balcony and looked down to see a great parade headed for the palace. He smiled with delight. "Everyone, you must come see this!" he shouted.

[Mike0908]

Nala and Sarafina quickly followed watching in surprise.

"Looks like Simba decided to bring more than Mufasa told me in his letters." said Sarafina.

Nala looked at the parade and scoffed. He sounded just like all the other princes before him, but was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. For now.
