When Djinni Met Genie Chapter 1: When Djinni Met Genie, an i dream of jeannie fanfic

"When Djinni Met Genie"

~Authors' Note~

Kentauros first.

The following is a fair amount of backstory-links for my partner's other stories not posted to FF. It does truly need to be here, though, and per FF's rules, will be added to the beginning of the first chapter. If you don't want to read the backstories and just trust you'll be able to figure every character out for who they are, then skip ahead about half of the page. You'll see the heading for Chapter 1.

Hello. The Rare Delurker here.

And I'm delurking today to let everyone know that Kentauros and I are together putting out a new IDoJ fanfic. Not a series, I emphasize, just one fanfic. I'm not able to do anything more for the foreseeable future.

The reason I'm announcing it instead of just posting it is that this fanfic has a legacy. In fact, it has two.

A little while back, Kentauros had an idea.

I wrote some fanfics in the Jeannie Sisters universe several years ago, adding to their world the character Jen, a teenage girl who finds out that she is a genie and is brought into the extended Nelson/Healey family (and believe me, in Jeannie sisters, that family is extended indeed!) He wanted to cooperatively write a story in which my genie character meets one of his djinni characters. The character he selected was Mindy, a character from one story in a set of linked stories Kentauros wrote for his old fanfic site. I had always liked it, and he had expanded on the original short story several times with my encouragement.

Now we have come together, and with the permission of Donna, the creator of the Jeannie Sisters stories, we're going to release a story in which djinni (Mindy) meets genie (Jen).

In many ways this isn't just a meeting of two djinn but a meeting of two different interpretations and extensions of the IDoJ universe. Kentauros started with the original series and added mysticism and gave djinn powers (and the exuberant use thereof) that rival Robin Williams' genie in Aladdin. While the Jeannie Sisters extrapolated from small clues in different episodes to create a vast, highly organized world of the djinn and create large extended families for Jeannie and, to a lesser degree Tony and Roger. Those families quickly started creating families of their own. This fanfic doesn't suddenly make those different worlds the same world. Instead, characters cross the boundaries of reality to experience… well, you'll see.

Another reason I'm posting this introduction is that if you just look at this story on your own, you'd be lost. Mindy has a back story that needs explanation. And Jen's back story (along with that of her world) really needs explanation. When I tell you that she lives with Mark and Kashi Healy and that she helps take care of Janet and Jordan Robinson, do you know what that means? If you don't, you need an introduction.

There's also one small cameo from another IDoJ world, one I wrote for Kentauros' old site before the Jeannie Sisters stuff started. And you need that to be explained as well.

So before the story itself is put up, we're going to be posting two stories, Mindy's origin story ("Mindy Gets her Wish") and the origin of the genie cameo characters ("Out of the Blue, Into the Pink") before we post "When Djinni Meets Genie."

In addition, I need to redirect everyone who wants to read this story to the Jeannie Sisters site to read the background to Jen and her world. I've done this several times for two different Jeannie bulletin boards, so I know how to do this. There are many stories.

You can search for The Jeannie Sisters page on your own (due to the fact that FF doesn't accept urls in this text. PM Kentauros for the direct links.) It's a popular site for IDoJ-specific fanfic and easy to spot.

Once there, navigate to the fanfic page.

I prescribe three different regimens for getting the information you need from the Jeannie sister Stories.

1. THE COMPREHENSIVE WAY: This is the simplest to describe but the hardest to do. Read all of the stories. I do recommend this for everyone in the end, but there are a lot of them. You could start with the Pre-Season 6 stories or just take off with Season 6 and go from there. But get back to the Pre-Season 6 stories at some time. But even if you want to do this eventually, there's no reason you have to read every Jeannie sisters story before reading our little fanfic. So I have the other options…

2. THE SHORTER WAY: This regimen starts with stories that take place just before an altered "15 years Later" and goes on from there. It introduces readers to the Nelson's children, genie Janae and an altered TJ, portrayed now as a half djinn, who's had weak powers for years and never was kept in the dark about his mother' heritage.

NOTE: most though not all of these, including Jen's stories, are told in script format.

~1~

The day after Mindy's fateful transformation into a powerful djinni, she found that she was up earlier than normal. She attributed it to the necessity of being awake to serve her Master properly. It had been her first night to sleep in her bottle as a djinni and that alone made her feel utterly wonderful about her new life and the day ahead serving her darling Master. She did remember a little of her last dream, but only something about Hadji telling her that she had an important day ahead and to be watchful of things around her. She was not sure what that meant, but maybe as she had more dreams some of them would be precognitive and easier to interpret.

She shrugged it off, smoothed her clothing a bit and felt her hair before she realized she needed to do none of that. Her magic would take care of her body and harem clothes in just a moment. With that in mind, she happily smoked out and into her bedroom, everything she had fussed over before now in perfect form. Zahra stirred only a little in her corner, making Mindy smile. She sighed with an inner cheer at the beginning of her new life, wondering what she would make of it. All in good time, she thought, and blinked out.

Downstairs in Tony Nelson's kitchen, the djinni reappeared, ready to blink up a breakfast feast. The little breakfast nook was on the other side of the stove and counter, though it did not seem big enough. A little blink to both enlarge the nook and the table took care of that little problem. Mindy folded her arms only to help her imagine the full spread and set that in her mind. Now when her Master was ready to eat, she need only remember that image and make it a reality. She kept her arms up to help her 'see' into her Master's bedroom, and found him stirring awake. Perfect! Now she could help him get ready, too. With that, she blinked out.

Mindy appeared to the side of her Master's bed, facing him and at the same moment he opened his eyes. Well, that might not have been such a good idea, as he was startled by her appearance, not to mention the idea that she was there at all. He must have been in a deep sleep, she thought, by how he reacted.

"What the—who are you? Where did you come from?"

"Master! It is I, Jeannie! Do you not remember me from yesterday? I am your djinni, remember?" she soothed, kneeling at his bedside and taking his hands in hers. He recoiled for just a moment, then relaxed, nodding.

"Okay, now I remember. It really felt like it was all a dream. Maybe I dreamed of you and what you did with us yesterday, too. I can't remember my dreams right now…"

"Would you like to, Master?" she asked, ready to help him out that way.

"Well, normally I don't care, but maybe make it so I remember them throughout the day. I'm still getting used to all this you know."

"I know Master, and I will do as you ask," she said, imagining him slowly remembering the details of his dreams as she blinked at him. "Now, would you like me to help you get ready to go to work today? I can take care of everything in a blink!"

"That's okay, Jeannie. I need to shower and wake up anyway. Dr. Barrows wants me there in about an hour, so I have plenty of time to get ready."

"Then let me at least blink you to work, Master. I have a feast ready to blink for breakfast and you will need time to eat it all."

"Really, Jeannie, you don't need to do all that for me. Just a light breakfast is enough."

"But it is the most important meal of the day! You should eat more if you are going to be having more physical tests," she said and did not wait to argue with him any more. She knew best for his welfare and blinked him into his shower, undressed and with the water at his favorite temperature. He yelped at the sudden change of place and circumstances, only to quickly relax under the spray. He knew she meant well, and maybe it would be nice to have a little magical help that morning. Doing all those tests all over again was not what his idea of fun, especially on a Sunday.

Mindy straightened up her Master's bedroom while he showered, getting out his uniform, too, and letting it float by the dresser for easier access. She had all that done in less than a minute and popped over to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to improve things. After a quick glance at the appliances, she renewed them all, and then pondered about electricity. Why should he have to pay anything when she could make it with her magic, like Jeannie did in Hurricane Jeannie. She loved the idea of that, and blinked it so for the whole property.

"There! Now that is one utility that we do not need. But what about the others?" she said, again thinking that through. She could do the same for the water, sewer, phone, and gas, if he had gas there. The kitchen appeared to be all electric, including the cook-top and oven, unlike the original Nelson house. It was safer for the most part, but magic was safer than any of that. She had only to make all the others work by magic, and she promptly did that all in one blink!

"Much better! Now all of my Master's bills will come marked with zero due," she said, giggling. Letting that topic drop, she began to use a little magic here and there on things like stored food, cleaning, and making the window over the sink wider. Another blink included skylights over the stove and oven as well as the sink and breakfast nook. It mattered not to her that there was another floor above the kitchen. She simply made them work and she squealed in delight at doing another impossible thing. She did not think she would get used to having such abilities for a long time, so she knew she would be remaining excited most of the time.

"I wonder how my Master is coming along?" she mused, folding her arms up to take a peek. She kept her view just outside the shower stall, though she liked the shadow he produced against the glass. She sensed he was nearing the end, so she dropped her connection and went out to the patio. She was not worried about being seen by her Master's neighbors there as the weird thing about the older layout to his house was that the patio was surrounded by either foliage, or the wall of the garage. The brick wall at the back overlooked the coast and beach. It open enough there that anyone jogging by would see her if they glanced up. And if they did, she would wave happily to them, just to be friendly.

At that time of the day, the sun was just coming up, so it was all still in twilight. The one jogger coming along the beach from the left would not likely be able to see her. She did blink a little magic at the woman, making her trip and stumble but not fall. It made Mindy giggle softly to herself at her prank. Maybe she would do more of that throughout the day while her Master was away…

Surveying the concrete and brick patio around her, Mindy knew it could use a makeover. One blink cleaned the concrete and re-colored it to a soft peach. Only she thought better of that, and turned it into pink granite instead. She did the same with the brick, changing it into a stone wall made of gray granite. She did not want to get too carried away with styling or make it too noticeable. Dr. Barrows would be able to tell, but he was there to perplex anyway.

Another blink improved the quality of his patio furniture, making them all out of teak with tan silk coverings over the cushions. There was no green and white striped awning over the back entrance to the house like in the later color seasons, but her Master did have a short deck-roof added on. It was okay in her opinion, partly because it did not really match the house much. One blink later and it did, as well as extending another six feet over the deck to about halfway. That was much better, and she could always blink it away if he wanted more sunlight.

Most of the foliage blocking direct sight to the patio was not well-kept and consisted mainly of boring things like hedges and banana trees. Better would be a nice windbreak of Mediterranean cedars on the south side and a mix of date and olive trees behind the garage. She blinked those into place and they all looked just right. The date trees were taller than the olive trees while those had branches heavy with olives and hanging low. She had shaped the cedars to be the tall and skinny, and thus, there were quite a few of them, creating a living wall between properties. They would get more than enough light from the sun, seeing as how the house faced west. If they ever needed more, well, one blink would provide all that was needed.

Mindy had spent the last five minutes making improvements to her Master's home, making her wonder if he was close to getting out of his shower yet. A quick peek showed her that he was at least partially dressed, so she finished it for him and popped over behind him with her arms around his neck.

"Are you feeling better, Master?" she asked, giggling at his continued jumpiness.

"I was. Why not walk through the door next time?"

"Because I like blinking, Master! But I will do as you ask. Now, are you ready for breakfast?"

"Yeah, now that you've finished dressing me," he said, looking back to her with a smile. That just made her melt inside and she forgot herself, blinking the two of them out and into their places at the breakfast table. Another blink created the feast and Mindy proceeded to feed her Master like the night before. He didn't protest, and settled in for a longer and more filling breakfast than he had anticipated.

Luckily for him, he was getting full before she could overfeed him, and still have enough time to drive over to the base. He kept looking at the clock on the wall, and it didn't escape Mindy's attention.

"Master, relax! It takes less than a second to blink you to work and I will make sure Dr. Barrows does not see you appear."

"Okay, but let's stop here. I don't want to be too full for these tests. They can be very strenuous and I don't want to get sick."

"That will not happen, Master. You will do wonderfully today and nothing will go wrong with Dr. Barrows' equipment, either. We will get that extra day off at the end of the week, to do with as we please," she cooed, sidling up to him again, to wrap her arms around his neck and elicit a warm and sensuous kiss out of him. If she did not have to obey his command of her, she would have just blinked time stopped at that moment and taken them to bed whether he wanted to go that far so soon or not! As it was, he held her as they broke it off, smiling his best to her, and saying nothing. Her inner willpower was fading fast, so she hoped he did something else, soon.

"That was nice, Jeannie. I kind of wish I could stay with you for the day, but I don't want you blinking things changed. I won't be that long. Dr. Barrows wants to get the day over with fast, too. We'll probably be done by the early afternoon," he said, relaxing his grip on her. She took the hint and sat back in her chair, though she kept her hands on his. "Now I think it's time for me to go, young lady. Just get me to my office without anyone else questioning it, okay?"

"Okay, Master!" Mindy agreed and folded her arms up to concentrate. She saw his office was occupied by Dr. Barrows, yet the hallways were empty. No one else was at work, so she knew where to place him. She grinned to her adorable Master first, and blinked him instantly to the hallway outside of his office. Continuing to watch, she witnessed him walk into his office, and begin his day with his superior officer without any unexplainable questions.

Mindy dropped her arms to break the connection and blinked the rest of the feast away. It had been more than enough for her, too, and she still had some minor remodeling do to the house. She would show her Master all of it when he got home. And that reminded her of some help she could send his and Dr. Barrows' way. They needed some luck in their day and she could provide it. One little blink, and everything would not only work perfectly, but they would breeze through it all in record time! Happy with her adjustment to their day, she blinked upstairs to take care of Zahra before getting on with the rest of the house.
