Where she was dazzled by the many new sights and sounds. Aladdin mediantly spotted her and was mesmerized by her beauty. He saw her innocently take an apple from a cart to feed a poor young boy.

Jasmine: Oh, you must be hungry. Here you go.

Apple Seller: You better be able to pay for that.

Jasmine: Pay?

Apple Seller: No one steals from my cart.

Jasmine: Oh, I'm sorry sir, i don't have any money.

Apple Seller: Thief!

Jasmine: Please, if you let me go to the palace, i can get some from the sultan.

Apple Seller: Do you know what the penalties for stealing?

He grabbed her hand and raised his knife menacingly.

Jasmine: No, no please!

Aladdin: Oh, thank you kind sir I'm so glad you found her. I've been looking all over for you.

Jasmine: What are you doing?

Aladdin: Just play a long.

Apple Seller: You uh, know this girl?

Aladdin: Sadly yes, she is my sister, she's a little crazy.

Apple Seller: She said she knew the sultan.

Aladdin: Huh, she thinks the monkey is the sultan.

Jasmine: Oh, wise sultan, how may i serve you?

While the performance by Abu and Jasmine served as a distraction, Aladdin lifted another apple off the cart and pretended to repay the owner. Then, they all ran off together.

Jasmine: I want to thank you for stopping that man.

Aladdin: Uh, forgot it. So uh, this is your first time in the marketplace huh?

Jasmine: is it that obvious?

Aladdin: Well, you do kind a stand out. I mean, you don't seem to how dangerous Agrabah can be.

The three new friends climbed to Aladdin's rooftop home which offered a breathtaking view of the palace at sunset.

Aladdin: Wow, the palace looks pretty amazing, huh?

Jasmine: Oh, it's wonderful.

Aladdin: I wonder what it would be like to live there. That have servants and valleys.

Jasmine: Oh sure, people can tell you where to go and how to dress.

Aladdin: Huh, it's better than here. You're always scraping for food and ducking the guards.

Jasmine: You're not free to make your own choices.

Aladdin: Sometimes you feel so-

Jasmine: You just-

Aladdin and Jasmine: Trapped.

Aladdin: So, where're you from?

Jasmine: What is it matter, i ran away and I am not going back.

Aladdin: realy?

Jasmine: My father's forcing me to get married.

Aladdin: oh, that's... that's awful.

Suddenly the palace guards spotted them.

Guard: Here you are!

Aladdin and Jasmine: They're after me! They're after you?

Jasmine: Oh, my father must have send them.

Aladdin: Do you trust me?

Jasmine: What?

Aladdin: Do you trust me?

Jasmine: Yes?

Aladdin: Then Jump!

They leapt off the rooftop and landed in a pile of hay. As they scramble down the stack, Aladdin ran smacked into Razoul.

Razoul: It's the dungeon for you boy.

Aladdin: Hey get off me!

Jasmine: Let him go!

Razoul: Looky here men, a street mouse.

Jasmine: Unhand him, by order of the princess!

Razoul: Princess Jasmine.

Aladdin: The princess?

Abu: The princess?

Razoul: What're you doing outside the palace, and the street rat?

Jasmine: That's not your concern, do as i command, release him!

Razoul: I would princess. Except my orders come from Jafar. You'll have to take it up with him.

Jasmine: Believe me i will.

And with that, the guards halled a helpless Aladdin away.

Meanwhile, Smolder became shocked as the guards arrested Aladdin for strange reasons. She decided to follow them without getting herself caught.

Jasmine rushed back to the palace. Jafar quickly shut the secret entrance to his lab. Just as Jasmine stormed into his chambers.

Iago: Jafar, I'm stuck.

Jafar: How may i be a service to you?

Jasmine: The guards just took a boy from the market. On your orders.

Jafar: Your father's in charge keeping peace in Agrabah. And the boy was a criminal.

Jasmine: What was he crime?

Iago: I can't breathe, Jafar-

Jafar: By kidnapping the princess, of course.

Jasmine: He didn't kidnapped me, I've ran away.

Jafar: Oh, dear. We'll how frightfully upsetting. Have I but known.

Jasmine: What do you mean?

Jafar: Sadly, the boy's sentence has already been carried out.

Jasmine: What sentence?

Jafar: Death, by beheading.

Jasmine: No.

Jasmine drew back in horror and ran from the room to the palace garden in tears.

Jasmine: It's all my fault Rajah. I didn't even know his name.
