Get Comfortable With the Word No

Saying no leaves room for the right yes to come along.

Disney's Aladdin Princess Jasmine 1

 

 

 

 

The world can be a ruthless, heartless place where anyone can abuse their power and hurt the young. After all, there were more then enough videos on YouTube to prove that point.

Hundreds showed teachers and bosses. Countless others abused their power over others. Or videos of how parents favored one child over the other. Either way, evil people inhabited this world. And how many times had people tried to do something about it only to be shut down?

Not everyone had a former genie on their side to catch an evil person in the act. So Aladdin and his friends had that in their favor. However, Genie wasn't sure they should use him to catch someone in the act.

After all, he was human now. Despite the widespread belief in the media? That those formerly magical creatures could regain their powers after becoming human? Genie, or Gene Wishington as he called himself these days, didn't believe that.

Nevertheless? Aladdin wanted to help the kids at the high school deal with a cruel librarian. The librarian was described as extremely cruel. Overly possessive of the books had taken things from students if they broke her rules.

There were a few rumors she'd even physically touched some of the students leaving marks on them. So, naturally, concerned parents demanded the librarian's removal.

However, like so many other things in life? Those with the power to change things? They didn't bother to do anything to help people. They didn't care and wouldn't do anything at all.

So Al and company staked out the library on Halloween to catch her in the act. A few other students were there as well. They were armed with various crystals and, very concerningly, a bow.

Still, they waited before the librarian showed up. After a few minutes, Al saw how cruel and accurate the statements were. The librarian was beating up the child who brought crystals to protect themselves.

Aladdin, Jasmine, and Dalia did their best to protect the children. But it wasn't enough. Finally, Gene couldn't take it anymore. Then what should only be achievable in popular media happened.

For a moment, he became a genie again. And used his powers to protect the students from the evil librarian. Then by the time the authorities arrived, he was once again human.

The parents were eternally grateful for all the four did for their children. But then, they smiled and said it was nothing. One can only hope you don't need to resort to magic every time these cruel people surface!
