“All my fault? I’m not the one who told Oleg he should tinker more with the menu to “bring in top-level clientele”! Where do you think we are, the Hilton? Actually, with that color hair you must fit in with Paris and Nikki no problem,” Max said.

“Will you stop with the Hilton jokes already? Besides, they already act like they’ve eaten the Russian Sausage.” Caroline winced, setting the shotgun on the ground. “God, if we’re going to talk about it any more we’ve got to change that name.”

The Hunt for Man-Yu-El (3003 words) by Anonymous

Characters: Rajah, Genie (Aladdin)
Summary:

At sunset on the third day since the second water purifier had stopped, the city of Agrabah limped along in a state of controlled chaos.

The royal fountains and pools were empty; the use of water for bathing and watering of plants was strictly limited, which put the nobles out of temper, greatly gratified the smallest children at bedtime, and added a whole new level of pungency to the bazaar. The bakers in the streets sold a drastically reduced selection at astronomical prices; at the back gates of the palace, a line of hungry beggars stretched and snaked out into the city, and the Queen's cooks fed them on baked vegetable balls and salads, anything but bread; and kebab stalls had sprung into being like goosebumps after a cold wind, hawking roasted lamb so fast that the shepherds were fast becoming the happiest demographic in the city, and the sheep the most worried.

The sheep, and the Queen.
