Chapter 1
A Long, Draggy, and Boring Starting... Maybe with the exception of a Genie
"Eh Butterfly..."
I perked up from my art piece to gain eye contact with my friend. Now you might ask, why art piece? Well cuz we were having art class here, so me and my buddies sat together in that furthest table, as far from the teacher's table as possible so we could chat on and on about stuff, but usually my fangirl-friends would talk about KHR and all, then Penguin, one of my friends (who started this all Reborn stuff but surprisingly no bias), would talk with Candy (Gokudera biased) and Tiffany, who called me just now. Well by the way Tiffany loves (yes you saw that right! Present tense!) Hibari and Mukuro, favourite pairing 6918. Oh and yes, where had I left off?
Ah I remembered, Tiffany called me.
"Butterfly, if the genie of animes come by and just happen to give you 3 wishes, what would you choose?" So she asked, without even looking up from her art.
Scratch that. forget about 'art', what we were doing was painting drawing blocks into random colours and cutting and pasting them to form abstracts of different emotions like anger, joy, sorrow blah blah blah... Khem I gone off track again, sowwey...
I answered without a moment's haste," Well, the first wish I'll wish for is..."
CLIFFHANGER HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO EVIL!

No actually not. I bluntly replied that "For my first wish, I'm gonna wish for infinity wishes so i'll never ran outta them, then i can slowly think of all the anime stuff i want to fulfil."
Hey don't look at me liddat! What do you expect?
By the way, just to let you all know. Yes, I can be a big fan of animes but I'm definitely NOT a fangirl. Maybe a tiny tiny bit on Yamamoto, cuz I love softball (it rocks man!) and baseball is like, the sibling of softball? Well of course more than that! I think he's quite cool cuz I also love the art of swordsmanship, which, in my view, is way better then just the quite violant and 'ungraceful' hand-to-hand combat (Tsuna and Ryohei) or dynamites (Gokudera, but afterwards his box weapon was kinda cool) and the whatever weapon that a certain *cough* carnivore used was kind of weird... Like, hey! Don't you think so? (Hibari fangirls please don't kill me!) In another words, only the spear outta all the fighting styles met my taste, though the spear looked too one-of-a-kind and such. So sword. And if you still don't the reason after my long long explanation above, this is BUTTERFLY LOGIC hell yeah!
And... I trailed off again. Ah, the wishes!
Tiffany was like, "No you cannot liddat lah! Can only 3 wishes so there." And, after a moment's pause, she asked again,"so, your wishes?"
Now that's something. I'd always been imagining spirits willing to grant me wishes, so I'd been daydreaming everyday. But Tiffany had said "Genie of Animes" so i can't possibly ask that genie to grant any wish. I decided to pretend to concentrate very hard on my art (at this present time, it could be called 'trash' instead).
"Hmm for me, I'll wish to go to KHR world and see Gokudera!" That's Candy, for sure. But anyway, someone had successfully taken the bait.
"What about you Tiff?" I immediately directed the question back at her. Muhahaha my awesome 'misdirection' skill.
"First, I'll wish to go to KHR world that's for sure, then I'll... Hibari~!"
Okay her reaction was quite expected, anyway. But then everyone turned to me suddenly. Oh so they'd realised. Never mind anyway. I was ready.
"Well, first wish:" Anime Seikai no Jumpa, something like a world jumper, where you can travel from anime world, then back to reality, cool right? Like i can freakin' go to every anime I've known off and mind-blow all the characters there with my 'prophecy'. Ahahaha..." My friends laughed lightly, before continuing to stare at me for my second wish. "... And then I'd probably pick up some weapon of some sort. Preferably sword or dagger or bow and arrows... Or magic. (At this point I flashed each of them a mischievous grin before continuing) Then lastly..." I scratched my head. "Maybe invulnerability? Haha that's so cool by the way, like woosh invulnerability!"
Each of them nodded thoughtfully, then we continued our own work.
Little did I knew I'll be able to make these wishes come true...
Now now... Where did we left off? Ahh yessssss, how could I forget the wishes?
That day, was a Tuesday, and Tuesdays means SOFTBALL TRAINING TO THE EXTREME! Okay why was i talking like Ryohei here? (O_o) Okay I had to admit, sometimes during the 10 rounds (you heard me right, 10 rounds!) running i got so unmotivated I had to think of all the 'EXTREME' quotes Ryohei had said before I started lagging. Wait, screw that. I always lagged behind so it was no difference.
Anyway, training ended quite late (why was I even talking about my softball stuff btw?) and I went home. (I really should have not mention my softball, shouldn't i? But then again, it's too awesome to be overlooked.) After a quick bath, I decided to have a mini spring cleaning now.
This was crazy, like, training actually ended quite late and by the time I reached home the sky was already pitch-black. So why now? Hmm I also have no idea. Trolled man, you're trolled. (Insert your own imaginary troll face here) Nevermind the trivia stuff, the point was i decided to talk out all the cups and bottles in my cupboard in the kitchen and wash or at least wipe them so they didn't smell too much. Sometimes you put stuff inside the cupboard, they gained the "cupboard smell".
That's when the nice parts happens. Readers yeah, your favourite part is coming...
Yes, the genie is coming...
Anyway, so I started taking out the cups one by one, wiping each and every one of them... Until i came upon my collections. It wasn't exactly a collection, if you consider. I just happened to eat real frequent when the Olympic came kicking in, so i decided to just collect all the cups for no reason. Err, so yes now I'm polishing them as a thin layer of dust had somewhat found their place there. One... Two... Three...
And now, genie appear!
To say that the genie actually appeared like Aladdin was kinda too... Khem... Well, actually, the genie didn't appear like Aladdin. Wait, lemme explain this clearer.
I finished cleaning the third glass when i saw a clump of smoke on the fourth one. And to add on the strangeness, the smoke was snoring like a pig (though i have no idea how a snoring pig sounds like). Right now, i was freaking off, and I was like, 'WTH is in the cup?'
I held the cup carefully, then i opened the tap water. You got that right, I, an average girl of 14, had drenched a might-and-almight genie under tap water.
Silence. Then...
"*Gurgle gurgle gurgle* WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
If I wasn't watching a comical show about a girl putting a genie under tap water, i would surely have laughed until I had a stomach-ache. But I was the girl now, and the smoke dissipate for one second before reforming a figure. Dear readers, if you're imagining a typical spirit-of-a-man-face-and-body you get this wrong. Just tell you, this was like a ghost, no face, no body, nothing. Just a trail of green smoke.
Then i realised, I'd been staring at him (or should i call him a 'it'?) for quite some time while it shook off imaginary water droplets on his body like a cat (but i highly doubt water could cling onto smoke). Maybe he was annoyed by my staring, he 'tch'ed a Gokudera trademark 'tch' and gave me a whats-so-nice-to-look-at-face.
"What are you looking at? Very nice is it?" He showed clear signs of displeasure.
And it took another 2 minutes to find my tongue.
"Wait... What the hell are you and why are you in my cup?" Okay that sounds a bit... Wrong.
"What? Never see a genie before?" He gruffly replied. And it was like genies were common. From as far as i knew, at least none of my class mates, scratched that, level mates had even believes the existence of one. But as I am too awesome to just waste a few lines talking about me gaping another few minutes, I took the information in quickly. The, something struck me.
"Aladdin?" I looked at him questionably
"Aladdin again." Okay, his reply did made me puzzled. "Aladdin this, Aladdin that. Why is it always Grandpa getting all the fame?"
"Well cuz he's featured in a story that is sold throughout the world? Wait WHAT?!" 'Grandpa?' I blinked. Oh so genie could have descendants. Wait, that didn't explain! I mean, biologically, you have to XXOO, then OOXX again to fuse 2 important parts together to form a new life! And Genies, as they were, made of smoke...
I coughed mentally to get myself outta my dirty thinkings. Being with my friends here (esp. Tiffany) sure have some negative effects on my pure and innocent soul.
Then I froze.
I had just met a genie.
Who was in one of my Coca Cola Cup.
Who looked like a smokey ghost.
And was the descendant of Aladdin, who was supposed to be a tale.
Most importantly, I found it believable.
Is the world still round?
"Quit staring! Why did everyone stare at me like this?" The what-i-assumed Genie was frowning, before blabbering complains non-stop. I usually tuned off Tiffany's blabbers conveniently, so it wasn't too surprising I did the same to his, too.
I cleared my throat after what it seemed like he was done, and I gave one of Glady's (my softball junior who always bushuang —best explanation would be pessimistic — with all the stuff around her and carry this look of retarded-ness. And note that my definition of being retard may be different from what you think) looks.
"So how do you end up in my cup?"
"I was floating around, finding a lamp to tuck in, but now everything changed so fast, and somehow i found that glass was size-fitting..."
Without waiting for him to finish, I took the cup in my right hand, and placed in under running tap water — yet again.
*This part is omitted for strong display of vulgar language by the Ghost, or Genie, whichever you choose*
"Gah! What you want?!" That was me, pissed already.
The Genie did something which was resemble a pout, though i doubted any expression could be shown in that face.
"Well, I'm a Genie, so by right I can grant you wishes..."
I perked up, i assumed my eyes were sparkling. "So can i?"
The Genie gave a grunt of displeasure," Just what you were doing 1 minutes ago? Trying to wash me off is it? If it isn't my life mission to grant fully 100 wishes, i would have long dessert you. But i guess it's your lucky day, since you're my last wisher."
I was happy, like damn freaking happy. Like, I could actually wish for something. Wow now that a dream that unexpectedly came true.
"Wait, before you start, just a little warning. As I am not as powerful as Gran, my powers are limited. Like, Gran could grant a lot of wishes at once for the same person, but I can only grant a maximum of 3 wishes. And I cannot grant all sorts of wishes anywhere anytime (though depending on the wish itself)... I can grant the first wish in this world, but the rest have to be granted in another, since I need to regain my powers by going to new environment..."
"Wait, what 'other worlds' do you mean?"
"You don't know?! Well never mind, a quick explanation, you know there's the universe, the planets, and most importantly, the black holes? Well the black holes are actually portals to another world."
I was thoughtful upon this matter. Then, as if something clicked, I made my first wish.
"I want to be a World Jumper, travelling from world to world by my own conscious."
And so, a blinding flash of light enveloped the dark room.
Hi people:D As you can see, I merged 2 chapters together cuz I feel that the chapters are too short T.T and I know of a certain someone complaining about my chapter 3... So anyway, thanks for all your support. Note that I changed the pairing above to 6918.
Until then, I'm Evan, signing off!
