This is a collab that Monstarzgirl and I worked on a little while ago(She and I each took turns writing parts of the story) which is a continuation of her own Powerpuff Girls series starring her OC, Rebecca Utonium, the professor's niece. Please enjoy!(BTW Monstarzgirl, thank you very much for working on this story with me. I've always loved your stories and had a lot of fun writing this story with you; I look forward to us writing more in the future.) :)
Narrator: "The city of Tangiers, Morroco! A happy city full of happy people having happy times! Ahh, you can just feel the joy! Listen...cant'cha hear it?"
In the skies above a vast sandy desert, a pair of boy and girl genies soar on a flying carpet, with a small Keeshond wearing an off-white turban adorned with a ruby, lying next to them. The genies sing a merry song as they fly:
"Eenie meenie, eenie meenie genies, eenie meenie genies we(1),
Eenie meenie, eenie meenie genies, eenie meenie genies we,
We are eenie menie genies, eenie meenie genies are we,
And on our magic carpet we whirl through the sky,
We ZING over mountains,
We ZOOM over sea,
And over sand and sand caravan we WHI-I-I-IZZ,
Eenie meenie, eenie meenie genies, eenie meenie genies we,
Eenie meenie, eenie meenie genies, eenie meenie genies we,
We don't mean to be meanies, but the genies have a ball,
For the world is full of lots of fun and we mean to see it all,
Our work is shirkin' workin',
We're the shirks of Araby,
Harum-scarum crazy little genies we-e-e-e,
Eenie meenie miney mo, catch a genie by the toe,
If they holler, let 'em go...
Might be us!
There's only one thing lower than the eenie meenie genies we are,
It's the teeny-weeny screamie-meemie mortal thing called man, MAAAAAN, MAAAAAAAAAN!
They walk, they crawl, they tramp, they trudge, they lead a life of gripes and grudges,
Lift that load, tow that tent, pay the piper, pay the rent,
Children shout, babies squeal, mumps and measles, fever, chills, QUIVER! SHIVER!
And the bossy boss is yellin' HURRY WORRY!
Hustle bustle, buyin', sellin', dogs are barkin', neighbors naggin',
Days, months, years are draggin', bendin' backs, knees saggin', roars and snores and sighs,
Hates, fears, they fly, then before they try, in the end...they die.
THEY DIE, THEY DIE, THEY DIE, THEY DIE, THEY DIE THEY DIE...they die.
But not little old genies, they're just havin' a ball.
That's why we're so glad that we're happy little eenie meenie genies,
Flyin' high for evermore,
When trouble comes a knockin', there's no river at our door.
And we're sittin' on our oasis, and we watch the world go by,
We're gonna live forever, and we'll never ever die,
Life is just a bubble, and It'll never burst for we're
Happy that we're happy little genies, teeny-weeny-eenie-meenie-eenie-meenie-genies, AHHHHHHHH,
We ZOOM, we ZAP, we WHIZ, we WHIZ! ZOOM! ZAP! ZOOM! ZAP WHIZ! WHIZ! WHIZ! WHIZ!...
We're just happy li'l ol' genies!"
Once they've finished singing, the dog happily barks out, "Bow-wow-wow-WOWWW!"(To the tune of "Good evening, FRIIIIEENDS!") causing his owners to laugh merrily.
"Ahh," the boy genie sighs, as he leans back with his arms folded behind his head. "This is the life."
"Indeed." his girlfriend replies.
Meanwhile, on the ground below, Rebecca Utonium and her family and friends are feeling equally merry. The group traipses through a mulling Moroccan market with Rebecca and her boyfriend Mojo Jojo leading the way, lovingly holding hands, as their little dogs Foxy and Roxi scamper around their feet. The sellers at the market have many fabrics, jewelry, foods, spices, perfumes, incense, and potteries being sold. Mojo sees some of the vases and smiles, "Ah, alabaster. Perfect in every detail."
Rebecca stops for a heartbeat and gazes at the lovely vases. "How gorgeous they are!"
As she passes by another stand, a seller calls to Deanna, "Excuse me, Ma'am, would you like to try a sample of our new perfume?"
"Yes, please." Deanna replies, upon which she holds out her arm, and the seller sprays a bit of the perfume on her wrist. Deanna smiles blissfully as she pauses to smell it. "Ooh, it smells lovely! Thank you, Ma'am."
The Powerpuffs hover by a stand selling silky sashes; Bubbles gently touches a pink one and coos, "Ooh, pretty!"April sighs, "There are certainly a lot of lovely things here." as she pauses to admire a lovely set of diamond-shaped earrings made up of many small gold-colored jewels.
Rebecca spots a pair of silver earrings and holds them up saying, "They're so beautiful." The seller says, "These also come with a necklace to match and to make a good deal, miss." Rebecca smiles and pays for the jewelry, "Here you go. Keep the change."
The man folds his hands and bows his head saying, "Shukran."
Deanna then takes out her purse. "I would like to buy this perfume, please." The seller replies, "Certainly, miss." as she hands her the bottle. April then purchases the dangling earrings.
