Natsumi wished as hard as she could on the first evening star.

"Oh, how I wish, wish, wish I could get away from it all!"

"Your wish has been heard, and your wish has been granted" said a lackluster voice from behind her.

She turned and saw a pair of gossamer wings. As the light from the wings faded she could see a small figure becoming less hazy until she saw the entire... Frog. There was a small red frog with wings standing in her bedroom. He opened a large book and recited in the same bored, lackluster voice.

"Hi I'm Giroro your fairy god frog. Tell me your problem so I can fix it and leave"

He snapped the book closed with a thud and placed it into a bag at his feet. With a sigh he looked up and before him stood the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. His face exploded in a blush as millions of wild fantasies raced through his mind. Flustered, he shook his head to clear it. He cleared his throat before he spoke.

"So, uuuhhh, what, uh, w-what did you c-call me for?"

She looked perplexedly down at the frog and thought about it.

"I want to get away" she stated

"Away from what" he asked

"This guy," she answered

He waited for her to continue and when she did it seemed like his dreams were coming true.

"I'm tired of being ignored by the guy I like. So I'm giving up,"

Giroro could have sworn he heard the hallelujah chorus at this point.

"And to celebrate, and to get me away before I change my mind and make a complete fool of myself, I want to go somewhere far away and," she paused mid-sentence.

"This isn't like wishing with genies is it? Where you have to be specific down to the last detail or the whole thing might blow up in your face?"

She turned to Giroro, who was busy watching the way her mouth worked and how she used her hands to speak, rather than listening. Realizing she was now looking at him expectantly, he fumbled to find an answer to the question he hadn't heard. Failing to find a good answer, his brain went on autopilot.

"H-Huh?" He stumbled, feeling his face burn even more red than its original color.

She repeated her question.

"No way!" He said acting affronted, "Those genie guys are total jerks! This system is nowhere near as complex. You get one, well wish I suppose, although since you don't have to say 'I wish' it's more of a desire." Realizing that he was rambling Giroro moved on.

"You get one wish per visit and it's granted no questions asked, although the genie rules do apply in the case of no wishing anything back to life including iPods (Natsumi snickered at this and Giroro faced her with a very serious stare. 'It's all funny,' he said 'until your newly restored music device try's to strangle you with its own headphones' at that Natsumi went silent), wishing for love (there's always one), or wishing someone dead (again there's always, well actually, there's always quite a few). Those are magical no-nos. Very big taboos in the magic user's world." He took a deep breath and continued.

"There is one other thing though," Natsumi quirked an eyebrow at this.

"Your 'godfrog' must accompany you on your wish until fulfilled. In your case, until you say 'I'm ready to go home'."

Natsumi committed these rules to memory, thinking long and hard about her wish.

What if he's lying she thought. I could be stepping into a trap, I mean genies wouldn't exactly tell you if the wish would have repercussions would they? Her conscious answered back with a swift Nope. Genies lived to mess things up for the people who found them. What if this guy was the same? She looked down at the little red frog and watched as he took in his surroundings, looking slightly bewildered.

Nah she thought he doesn't seem like that kind of guy. Natsumi couldn't explain but she just inherently trusted this tiny godfrog.

"Alright," Natsumi said determinedly "I want to go to a paradise, where I can relax and not worry about anything"
