"Many years ago" in the capital of Agrabah, Jafar is lecturing the common people about their theft, and proves to them that it will not be tolerated by turning the ones he suspects into street rats. At the same time, Aladdin, who has managed to outsmart Jafar so far but is reluctant to fight against him, is recruited by Jasmine to help steal a powerful and magical weapon in the world called “the Diamond in the Rough.” While en route to the Cave of Wonders, which is where the weapon is located based on the books Jasmine had with her, both Jasmine and Aladdin are bickering over the claims until they reach the location, where upon their arrival, Aladdin yells “open sesame,” and opens the cave. As the two enter, they discover the gem balancing on a sword. Taking no chances as they believe the item to be cursed, Aladdin replaces the gem’s weight with another object, when a crumbling column falls on them. Suddenly, Aladdin conjured magic to save them both, and Jasmine soon discovered that Aladdin was the Diamond in the Rough all along.
Later on, after Jasmine gives Aladdin a gift, which is a scarab that represents heroism, Jafar appears to show Aladdin his future by using the red bird, revealed to be the “Oracle” to show Aladdin that he will face an untimely death, and there is one way to alter his destiny, with a pair of golden shears that once belonged to the Fates and go back to living a normal life as a rich man. However, it turns out that Jafar had deceived Aladdin. When Jasmine returned to seek help from her father, he was already under Jafar's command, as Jafar arrived and places Jasmine in his hourglass prison. Out of nowhere, Aladdin save the day by flying into the castle on a Magic Carpet, as he begins his new destiny as The Savior. However, when Aladdin later asks Jasmine to run away with her and help him fight Jafar, she turns him down, saying she wants to defend her kingdom.
