Market Place



The next day at the market place, Silver and Snow are on top of the awning. They are looking for food to steal since they’re hungry and they don’t have money to buy one. So they’ll have to steal one in order to survive.
“Okay, Snow. Go!” Silver tells the non-mobian white cat to do her thing.
“Meow” Snow gave him thumbs up with her paw and uses her tail to hang onto the awning.
"Try this. Your taste buds will dance and sing" the seller said and saw Snow snatching a melon.
"Get your paws off that!” the seller said to the cat but Snow blows raspberry as a taunt.
“Why, you... Get away from here, you cursed, filthy cat!" the seller walks up to Snow to take the melon. But Silver snatched another melon when the seller wasn’t looking. The seller managed to snatch the melon and puts it back to where it belongs but noticed the other melon is missing. Snow smirks and goes back up.
"Nice going, Snow. Breakfast is served" Silver high-fives with Snow, breaking the melon to have their breakfast.

On the streets of the market place, Blaze walked past several sellers.
"Pretty lady, buy a pot. No finer pot in brass or silver"
"Sugar dates, sugar dates and figs! Sugar dates and pistachios!"
"Would the lady like a necklace? A pretty necklace for a pretty lady" Different sellers offers her many things to sell, she is charmed by the action, but is startled by a fish thrust into her face.
"Fresh Fish! We catch 'em, you buy 'em!" the fish-seller said.
"Oh, I don't think so" Blaze backs off but accidently bumps into a fire eater. It caused the fire eater to swallow the flames and hiccups on purpose.
“Oh, excuse me” Blaze said politely.
He gulps and then belches fire from his mouth much to her disgust. Silver notices her and a strange look comes on his face.
"Uh, I'm really sorry" Blaze said to the fire-eater.
"Wow" Silver said in amazement by seeing her, watching her putting the hood back up on her head and continues to walk.
Snow noticed this and climbs up on Silver’s head, using her tail to swing back and forth in front of his face, “Meow?”
But Silver was in a dreamy trance and doesn’t notice Snow’s tail in front of his face.
Blaze walks in the market place and stops when she sees a poor human boy trying to reach for the apples.
"Oh, you must be hungry. Here you go" she gave an apple to him.
But the proprietor came out, "You'd better be able to pay for that"
"Pay?" Blaze asked but got pulled.
"No one steals from my cart!" he said angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry sir. I don't have any money" Blaze tried to be reasonable. But he didn't buy it, "THEIF!" he roughly turns her around angrily.
“Please! If you let me go I can get some from the sultan!” Blaze said.
But he pinned her arm down, "Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?" he pulled out his sword to cut her arm off.
"No! No, please!" Blaze begged. As the sword is about to chop her arm off, it is stopped by Silver.
“Thank you kind sir” he snatched the sword and hands it to Blaze, “I’m so glad you found her” he said to the proprietor and shakes hands with him.
"I've been looking all over for you" Silver said to her.
"What are you doing?" Blaze asked.
"Just play along" Silver whispered.
"Do you know this girl?" the Proprietor asked him.
"Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy" Silver pretends to be her brother, swirling his finger. Blaze is shocked.
"She said she knows the Sultan!" the Proprietor grabs him by the vest.
"Hehe, she thinks the cat is the sultan" Silver chuckled, looking down at his cat Snow trying to grab money from the customer’s bag.
“Huh? Meow! Meow!” Snow backs away from the money bag.
Blaze played along, bowing before Snow, "Oh, wise Sultan. How may I serve you?" she said.
"Meow, meow, meow" Snow pats her head with her paw.
Silver grabbed the apple with his foot and puts it in his hand, “Tragic, isn’t it?” he tosses the apple to the proprietor, “But no harm done”
He walks over to Blaze, "Now come along sis. Time to go see the doctor" he and she walks over to a camel.
"Oh, hello doctor" Blaze said, acting along.
"No, no, no. Not that one. Come on, Sultan" Silver said to Snow. She bows down but all the stuff she stolen comes out from her vest.
"Huh? Come back here you little thieves!" The proprietor yelled as Silver, Blaze and Snow ran away.

At Mephiles’ secret lair, Jet was running on the machine cog to control the energy power like a generator while holding onto the bar for support so that he won’t fall off.
“With all due respect, your rottenness! Could we just wait for a real storm?!” Jet asked, getting tired.
The electrical energy was surging into the giant glass ball, creating a red shroud of cloud.  
"Save your breath, Jet. Faster!" Mephiles placed the Diamond ring on the contraption.
"Yes, O'migthy evil one!" Jet ran faster. The power energy zaps on the contraption. The sand began to swirl faster with an lighting bolt.
"Ah, sands of time--….reveal to me the one who can enter the Cave" Mephiles said as the hourglass sand becomes the Tiger-God cave and then it falls to the bottom part of the hourglass for the answer to Mephiles. The sands swirls into an image of Silver climbing up on the ladder and helping Blaze up.
"Yes, yes! There he is. My diamond in the rough!" Mephiles said sinisterly.
"That's him?!?! That's the clown we've been waitin' for--…..WHOAA!! OW! OW! OW!" Jet loses his footing and gets sucked into the machine of the gears on purpose.
"Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace” Mephiles said and Jet was thrown into the wall, “Shall we?” he grinned at the injured green parrot.
"Swell" Jet coughs and falls to the floor while Mephiles laughs evilly.

Now with Silver; he climbed up on the roof and helps Blaze up.
“We’re almost there” he said to her.
Blaze climbs up to the roof but falls into his arms and felt Silver’s strong grip, she looked up at him and blushed, stepping aside.
"I want to thank you for stopping that man" Blaze said.
"Uh, forget it. So, uh, this is your first time in the marketplace, huh?" Silver asked her and grabs a pole stick to use it as a pole vaulting move to jump to the other edge of the roof.
"Is it that obvious?" Blaze asked.
“Well, you do kinda stand up” Silver looks at her, still in love. She returns the look. But realized what he is doing and snaps out of it.
"I mean, uh, you don't seem to know how dangerous Agrabah can be" Silver said and placed a plank to let her walk over but she already jumps over.
“Huh?” Silver was surprised by this.
“I’m a fast learner” she chuckled and tosses the pole over to him.
Silver shrugs and puts the pole aside, “Come on, this way” he leads her to his home.
"Is this where you live?" Blaze asked.
"Yup, just me and Snow. Come and go as we please" Silver said.
"Fabulous" Blaze said and sat down.
"Well, it's not much, but it's got a great view. Palace looks pretty amazing, huh?" Silver showed the view of the Palace.
"Oh, it's wonderful" Blaze said with a frown and looks away.
“I wonder what it would be like to live there, to have servants and valets..." Silver said.
"Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress" Blaze said with an annoyed voice.
"It's better than here. Always scraping for food and ducking the guards" Silver continued. Snatching the apple that Snow was about to eat.
"You're not free to make your own choices" Blaze said.
"Sometimes you feel so--.." Silver replied.
"You're just so..." Blaze said.
"Trapped" they said in unison.
They both blushed and looked at each other. But Silver shook it out and takes another apple from Snow and gives it to Blaze.
"So where are you from?" Silver asked.
"What does it matter, I ran away and I'm never going back" Blaze looked away.
Silver ate an apple and hands it to Snow, “Really? How come?”
“Meow…..” Snow was disgusted and tossed the eaten apple aside and sneaks up to Blaze that is holding a fresh apple.
"My father's forcing me to get married" Blaze sighs. Snow tried to get the apple from her but Silver sees her.
"Snow!”
“Meow! Meow! Meow!” Snow jumped on them and hissed at Silver, going back to the edge of the old roof interior.
"What?" Blaze asked.
"Snow says that--..uh--….that's not fair" Silver lied.
Snow made a confused expression, “Meow?”
"Oh, did she?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah, of course" Silver said.
"Does Snow have anything else to say?" Blaze asked.
"Well, uh, she wishes there was something she could do to help" Silver lied. Snow rolled her eyes and looks away from them.
"Well tell her that's very sweet" Blaze smiled. They lean in as if they are about to kiss but that moment was interrupted when the guards found them.
"THERE YOU ARE!"
“They’re after me! They’re after you?” Silver said in unison to each other.
"My father must have sent them---…" Blaze said worriedly.
"Do you trust me?" Silver asked her.
"What?" Blaze was confused.
"Do you trust me?" Silver reaches out his hand.
"Yes" she takes it and Silver gets to the window.
"Then jump!" They and Snow jumped out of the room.
“WHOOAAAA!!!!!” they fell and lands on the awning to slow down their fall before hitting the bottom.
They are about to run when they got blocked by Razoul.
"We just keep running into each other. Don't we, street rat?" Razoul said and got his hat pulled down by Snow again. But more guards are there and blocked the exit. One guard takes Snow and shoves her into a vase.
Three other guards grab Silver, "It's the dungeon for you boy"
"Let go of him!" Blaze tried to save Silver.
"Look what we have here, a street mouse!" Razoul laughed and throws Blaze off, not knowing it's her.
Blaze got up and unfolds her hood, "Unhand him! By order of the princess" she said.
"What? Princess Blaze" Razoul and the guards bow, even forcing Silver to bow.
"The Princess?" Silver was surprised.
“Meow-cess?” Snow peeks her head out of the vase.
"What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat?" Razoul asked Blaze.
"That's not your concern. Do as I command. Release him!" Blaze demanded him.
"Well, I would princess but my orders come from Mephiles. You'll have to take it up with him" Razoul said. The guards drag Silver away.
Blaze glared at Razoul, "Believe me, I will"
