Summary: In stories, when you rub a lamp you usually get three wishes. But this wasn't the case for Kairi. Instead of wishing, she has to do the granting, otherwise she'll be cursed by the lamp. Roxiri.

Chapter 1

"C'mon, you guys! Hurry up!" A boy climbed up the hill at a rapid pace. "C'mon!" His blond hair was swept to the side as he turned back towards his three friends who trailed behind him. He motioned for them to hurry up before he continued his trek up the hill.

"Just go on ahead. We'll catch up to you in a second." One of the boys trailing behind called out. He ran his hand through his messy blond hair as he took a short break to catch his breath. He huffed and puffed as he slowly pushed himself up the hill.

Walking behind the blond haired boy was a brunette with eyes that matched the grass on the hill. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. "Aren't you a bit too excited? We come up here to watch the sunset almost every week!" The brunette teased. She turned around to check up on their friend.

The big-boned boy following behind grinned in response. In his hand was a mini-cooler filled with the group's favourite treat – Sea-Salt Ice Cream. He continued to grin at his friend's excitement.

"Fine, I'll leave you three behind!" The boy at the front grinned and continued his hike up the hill. Once he reached the top, he let out a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air. As he made his way towards their usual spot on the hill, his cobalt blue eyes caught sight of a shiny object.

He cautiously approached the object. "A lamp?" He bent down and observed the object before picking it up. "What this?" He saw an image that was covered by a thin layer of dirt. He rubbed the dirt away and revealed a yellow star painted on the side.

A girl sat at her kitchen counter eating a bowl of cereal. Her unruly auburn hair flowed slightly past her slouched shoulders. It was a bright Saturday morning with the birds chirping and her parents squealing. The girl dropped her spoon back into her bowl.

"Look! Look! Kairi! Look at this, sweetie. It's an antique road trip!" Her mom pointed at the newspaper with a gleeful expression on her face. "Want to go with us?"

The girl, Kairi, pushed a strand of her auburn hair behind her ear. She shook her head and grabbed her spoon. She stuffed a mouthful of cereal in her mouth and shook her head again.

"But you'll get to skip class. Teens love to skip class!" Her dad chipped in. "You can miss class and come with us!"

Kairi always knew her parents were different. They were packrats and they didn't care much for her education. As long as she'll be able to get a decent living in the future, they would be happy. She swallowed her food and turned towards her bizarre parents.

"Mom, dad, I'm not missing school again. I had to work so hard just to catch up with everyone the last time you took me." She shoved more cereal into her mouth.

"You're no fun!" Kairi's mom sighed and grabbed the phonebook. "I'll call Uncle Axel to take care of you while we're gone, okay?"

Kairi chuckled. "Sweet." She grabbed her bowl and gobbled the rest of her soggy cereal.

Sure enough, Uncle Axel had arrived with a huge suitcase in his hand. He wore a straw hat over his spiky fire-red hair, a brand new white shirt, a pair of black shorts with a flower pattern on it, and a pair of oversized sunglasses. He lifted his sunglasses up a bit – revealing his purple teardrop tattoos underneath his green eyes. As he approached the door, his mouth curved up to greet his family.

"So let's get the vacation started-"

"-Remember, the emergency numbers are on the fridge." Kairi's parents reminded, and without giving a second glance, they ran past Axel and Kairi.

"Have fun." Kairi called out as she saw her parent jump into their car. With a lazed expression, she rolled her eyes at her uncle. "You're here to watch over me. Not to go on vacation." Kairi watched her parent's car zoomed down the street, speeding farther and farther away.

Axel grinned and ruffled Kairi's already messy hair. "This is Destiny Island, so if I say it's a vacation then I'm on vacation. Got it memorized?" He placed his suitcase back down on the ground and walked inside. "Mind taking that in for me?"

Kairi rolled her eyes again and grabbed the suitcase handle with both her hands. She grunted as she tried to lift it. "What did you bring, Axel?" She muttered while she tried to drag it. All her attempts were futile since the suitcase didn't budge.

"Hey, Kairi. They left a to-do-list for us to do. And by us, I mean you." Axel stood by the door with a piece of paper in his hand. "As soon as you carry that inside, go and clean the attic. Alright, thanks." Axel walked back inside the house.

Kairi groaned. "Why is he my favourite Uncle again?" She continued to pull on the bag. "Why can't I lift it?" Frustrated, she decided to give it a swift kick – it barely budged.

A few minutes later, Axel walked out with a cup of coffee in his hand. "You're still out here?" He shook his head and walked towards Kairi. "I gave you such a simple task and you can't even do it." He bent down and unzipped a pocket. Inside the pocket was a hidden wheel. Kairi gasped. Axel easily pushed the suitcase onto an angle and used the wheels to push it into the house. "Now go and clean the attic." He ordered and handed a duster to Kairi.

"Aye, aye, captain." Kairi replied in a dead tone and grabbed the duster before she forced herself upstairs into her attic.

She began to dust the various objects that her parents had stuffed into their attic. "Statues, tables, chairs, vases, paintings, cabinets, spiders, ancient electronics, rollerblades, a basketball..." Kairi named each object as she dusted them. "From three years ago, from a year ago, from before me, from before mom and dad, from a week ago, and from..." Kairi picked up a dusty lamp. "... I think this was from a year ago. Yeah, it was from the sale, in some town... just like every other piece of junk here."

She grabbed the duster and dusted the lamp. "It has so much dirty stains." She muttered and used her fingers to rub away the dirt stains. Slowly, she uncovered an image of a star. She stared at it for a few moments. Just as she was about to place the lamp back down the star on the side glowed. She placed the duster down and rubbed her eyes. "Ugh, must be the dust. Too much cleaning is bad for my eyes." She blinked her eyes a few times after rubbing it.

Her vision cleared and she jumped when she saw a person in front of her. Her eyes wide and staring in disbelief at what she saw. She quickly closed her eyes and used her hands to massage her temple. "Magic lamps don't exist; it's the dust bunnies talking; really huge dust bunnies." She peeked out one eye, and saw that the same person was still in front of her. It was a male that looked like he was around her age.

The male in front of her wore a long black cloak, with black gloves and shoes. He moved his head around. Kairi assumed that he was observing his surroundings.

Finally, he faced Kairi. "Where am I?" He asked in a whisper.

"Huh? I should be asking you that. You just appeared out of nowhere!" Kairi was unsure of what to do. She stood still and watched as the mysterious blond haired teen mumbled.

"I don't recognize this place…" Kairi heard. He faced Kairi and instantly Kairi was able to identify his eyes that shone like a dull deep sea.

"I wish for a cup of coffee." He interrupted Kairi's though and Kairi returned an estranged look at the male.

"What? What are you even talking about? Who are you?" Kairi questioned. She had hundreds of questions that were popping up in her head by the second.

Instead of replying, he raised his hand and pointed at Kairi's hand. Kairi looked down. Her eyes widened and an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach grew. She couldn't see her hands; she was only able to see up to her wrist, it was as if her hands faded away. She knew her hands were still there, she could feel her hands moving. But she just couldn't see them.

Then her heart began to beat faster as she saw her wrist slowly fading away also. Kairi's body shook while she stared at her non-visible hands.

The teen watched Kairi's reaction. He walked towards Kairi and in a calm tone he said, "That's why I said to get me a cup of coffee. If you want to stop this-" He pointed at Kairi's arms. "Then you'll do as I say."

Kairi bit her lips and reluctantly nodded her head. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could. She grabbed an instant coffee pouch and messily poured it into a cup, and then she poured hot water inside. She quickly grabs a spoon and began to mix the mixture. Then she stopped. She lifted her arm up and realized she could see her hands again. But almost instantly, her hands began to fade once again. She hastily grabbed the cup of coffee and ran upstairs. Despite her haste, she carefully made sure that the coffee didn't spill.

The teen stood in the attic wandering around. When he saw Kairi run upstairs he gave a bittersweet grin. "Congratulations, you're safe for now." He looked at the coffee that Kairi held in her hands. "You can keep the coffee. It'll wake you up."

Kairi froze. She stood up and faced the person in front of her. "Hey! I hate coffee!" She yelled. "And, what do you mean, I'm safe for now? Also, answer all those questions I asked earlier!"

The teen walked right pass Kairi. Kairi shivered and turned around to glower at the male's back. "I'll be back later." He replied calmly as he lifted his black hood over his head and disappeared into the wall.

Kairi was left in disbelief. She looked at her hands; they were visible again. She pressed her hands together. She was able to feel her clammy hands. Her mouth opened as she lifted her right hand up to her eyes. Tied around her right wrist was a red ribbon. She used her left hand to try and remove the ribbon. However, she couldn't feel it. It was as if nothing was on her wrist.
