[quote="Calluna"][quote="Emmlei"]As far as Jas-Sadira's new friendship, I think it came from their working together, a start of new respect for each other. The shopping spree was pretty much an excuse to bond between girls.[/quote]

Can't believe I never responded to this thread... :oops:

Anyway, I agree with this. Up until that episode Sadira doesn't know Jasmine very well at all; she seems to think that she's this perfect prissy princess that Al only loves for her beauty and status, and that Al and Jas don't really have anything in common. Look at "Strike Up the Sand" (the only ep written mostly from the point of view of the villain, I think!), Sadira's stealing in the marketplace and tricking the guards while Jasmine's shopping for silk to make a stupid froofy outfit for Aladdin. From Sadira's POV, she's not only unsuitable for him, she's trying to change him!

She [i]still[/i] thinks about Jas this way in SandSwitch and the beginning of Dune Quixote (notice both times she makes herself a princess? He only loves her because she's a princess, therefore if I'm a princess he'll love me!) But then in Dune Quixote she has to actually spend a lot of time around Jasmine, and, hey, she actually has a [i]personality[/i] and she's good at the whole adventuring thing, so maybe she and Aladdin do have something in common!

And, of course, once she's friends with Jasmine she doesn't [i]need[/i] Aladdin anymore, since, as we find out in "Witch Way Did She Go?", [i]friendship is all she wanted the whole time[/i]. Probably no one had ever been nice to her before Al, so when he was nice to her she blew the whole thing out of proportion. :([/quote]
