Chapter One; Out to Breakfast
Jeannie started smoking out of her bottle before she appeared in front of Tony and Roger who were still wearing their robes. Jeanne gave a small yawn and a rather large stretch. "Ah good morning Master. Good morning Roger Healey." She told them.
"Good morning Jeannie. You must have fell back asleep after you got out of bed earlier this morning." Tony said.
"Yes I was having quite a bit of morning sickness again and then I went back to my bottle because I didn't want to disturb you." She explained.
"Oh that's alright Jeannie, you wouldn't have disturbed us." Roger told her.
"Roger, World War three wouldn't disturb you." Tony pointed out.
"Oh, I'm really going to miss you both when you go away on your mission." Jeannie told them sadly while she glanced from one of them to the other.
"I know, we're really going to miss you too." Tony told her. "Well I better go grab a shower before the Bellows get here." He said as he started walking towards the bedroom.
"Roger Healey, can you keep a secret?" Jeannie asked him.
"Jeannie, the Bellows didn't find out about you until just now. And even then I'm not the one who said anything about it." He told her.
"Well you see, I sort of wanted to give my master a going away present." She said.
"Oh I see, what is it this time? A yacht, a mansion, a sack of gold?" he questioned but Jeannie just simply shook her head.
"A new car. Anthony is always complaining about how old it is and I get worried that it's going to breakdown somewhere without me and it'll leave him in the middle of the street with no place to go." She explained.
"Well Jeannie, that's a good idea." Roger began with a nod.
"Are you alright Roger Healey?" Jeannie asked him anxiously.
"Yes Jeannie I'm fine, I mean why shouldn't you do something nice for Tony? I mean after all he's your husband and your master not me." He told her.
"Oh, I didn't make you feel bad did I Roger Healey?" she wondered sympathetically.
"No, I just better get dressed." Roger replied before he turned around and hurried up the stairs while Jeannie simply just watched him. That's when suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Come on in! It is open!" Jeannie called before she turned her head and blinked her eyes causing the door to swing open as Mr. and Mrs. Bellows entered the living room.
"Why hello Jeannie," Mrs. Bellows began beaming brightly at her. "Where's Colonel Nelson and Colonel Healey?" she inquired.
"Oh Anthony is in the shower and Colonel Healey just went upstairs. She began as she pointed up the steps. "And I have to say that I'm pretty worried about him." She told her.
"Aren't we all?" Mrs. Bellows questioned her.
"I told him that I was going to get Anthony a new car for a goodbye present and I think he felt left out that I wasn't going to get anything for him." She explained.
"Well then why don't you just get him one too? You know_" Mr. Bellows began while folding one arm on top of the other and blinking his eyes before Mrs. Bellows rolled hers.
"Oh c'mon Alfred, she shouldn't have to do that just because she's a genie. She wants to do something special for Colonel Nelson because he's her husband." She told him when all of a sudden Tony finished showering and Roger quickly ran back downstairs.
"I'm all ready!" Roger exclaimed.
"Me too!" Tony echoed.
"Me three!" Jeannie cried.
"Uh Jeannie, you might want to change your outfit first. After all we're going out to breakfast in Coco Beach not Saudi Arabia." Mrs. Bellows told her.
"Oh my goodness! I forgot!" Jeannie exclaimed while she quickly grabbed ahold of her outfit as she glanced down at it before she bobbed her head and blinked her eyes changing into a blue tank top and matching mini skirt with her hair tied into two rather long braids with blue bows tied inside of them. "How's this Master?" she asked him.
"It's perfect. Just slide some sandals on your feet and then you'll be all set." Tony told her. "I'll even let you drive. After all, you need all the practice that you can get." He said while he smiled at her as she hurried over towards the door.
"Wow, if my wife could change her clothes that fast then we would never be late to the movies again." Mr. Bellows said.

Tony, Roger, Amanda, and Jeannie entered the restaurant through the front door and got in line. That's when all of a sudden the waitress walked over to them. "Four please." Tony told her.
"Alright then, right this way Colonel Nelson." She told him before she led them around the corner.
"How does she know who you are?" Mr. Bellows wondered.
"Are you kidding me? Everybody knows Tony Nelson the famous astronaut." The waitress said.
"Yeah, and besides that we come here all the time." Tony said before all four of them sat down at the table and the waitress handed them their menus.
"I'll be right back, take your time." She told them.
"So what would you like to get to eat Jeannie?" Tony asked her.
"I'm not sure yet, what about you Mrs. Bellows?" she inquired.
"Honestly Jeannie, I think it's time that you start calling me Amanda, and I'm really not sure yet either. Everything on the menu looks good." She said.
"Tell me about it, I'm so hungry that I could eat an entire banquet." Mr. Bellows said studying his menu as Jeannie quickly place one arm on top of the other one and blinked her eyes. All of a sudden their small and short little table was replaced with a rather long one that had bowels and bowels of food on top of it. Mr. Bellows widened his eyes with pure and utter astonishment and disbelief as he fell back into his chair.
"You've really got to learn to watch what you say around Jeannie since you're going to be her temporary master in a couple of days." Tony began before he picked up one of the bowels and offered it to him. "Bread?" he inquired.
