Do I need to frickin' explain it?

Yami Bakura: HAHAHAHA! Well she won't be going anywhere for quite sometime! Did it make you scream? Well get used to it! Our next tale is about what happens when you try to peek at certain things not meant for certain eyes! And don't worry, this WILL give you nightmares!

Ch. 3

Don't Open the Magic Tome…

Ah, lovely Mai Valentine. Her name means such romantic things. Granted she was as beautiful as she came… …Except she had this LITTLE problem… She liked to read forbidden items.

Her attitude, (pardon) Maiitude made her a complete bitch at times. Of course the only two other things she liked was to Dueling unsuspecting men with a "guarantee date" if they win, and money.

Of course, little Mai came from a rich family and it made her even worse, Maiitude wise. And lets not forget something… She's EXTREMELY TEMPERMENTAL. Hell, she would be like Yusuke Urameshi on a good day, except more methodical.

One afternoon, Mai decided to go shopping. And what better place than the new shop in town. It's known as Trove of Golden Wonders. Not too much is known about it, except they sell valuable items and expenses from all over the world.

As she wandered inside; Mai came across some sort of lamp-like item. Takes a good look at it, but doesn't know what to make of it. Once again, her Maiitude switches on and decides to buy it. But before she makes the purchase, Mai notices some sort of book-like tablet, and decides to take it to.

"Is that everything today?" asked the girl at the counter. "NO! THAT'S WHY I'M STANDING HERE PURCHASING IT, MORON!" she snarled and screeched.

"163000 Yen for it."

And of course she hands her the money.

"I should warn you though, whatever you do, DON'T OPEN THE MAGIC TOME!"

Pa-leeze! Who does she take me for, some 4-year-old child… thought a distempered Mai as she left.

"You'll be sorry…" warned the counter girl.

After some Dueling, Mai went home and decided to lay down on the couch. She check what was on TV. Nothing…

Nothing but crap and more horseshit especially on Lifetime.

Seeing as nothing was on TV, she turns it off and decides to read a little bit. Of course she did have that embarrassing secret about her wearing glasses. Before finding something to read, she pulls her hair back and puts on her thick red glasses.

Problem? Couldn't find anything to read. That idiot cashier said they were all sold out; which made her even more angry to begin with. So what does she do?

Well seeing as their was most likely no harm in reading that Tome she bought, she opened it, well not before she cleaned that already new lamp-like item she bought.

Big mistake as she would soon find out…

How to use Genie Magic without being seen by other Humans in 5 easy steps

"Well now…?" Mai asked herself.

Be advised as you will need the following…!

"This is unusual…" she muttered. When she bought the Tome at the shop today, she didn't realize what she bought was a Genie Manual. But hey, maybe she could "covertly" live another life, provided her friends, especially the idiot with the stupid grin doesn't find out.

1. Get a lamp. Genies live in them. GET IT!

2. Attire. Men and Women's are very different but some will remain the same. To find Men's look on page 4 which is the next one. To find Women's attire, look on page 7, if you're female. GET IT!

Women's attire:

First, you will need to do the MOST OBVIOUS things, Have your hair tied back and you will need long golden magic hoop earrings. The hoops are the Genie's most valuable source of magic and must NEVER be taken off while in the Genie form. If you don't have a pair of golden hoops, GO BUY THEM. For how to enchant said earrings, wait until you get the clothing part read first. Do you understand now?

Clothing:

Simple, right? Women's attire is just the most sexiest bra and panties you own. Then any pair of skimpy tights you can find. Your favorite color is recommended. And as for foot wear, same as the sentence above. High heels of your favorite color, or you can go with black heels if color of choice is not available.

"I did enough shopping today…!" complained Mai. But of she wants to learn, she's got to go buy clothes and a pair of large hoop earrings. A half hour later she returns to her apartment and puts on the attire. She then changed her other earrings and put on the hoops.

3. Enchanting your earrings

To make the earrings your source of unlimited magic, just cast this spell verbally and hold your earrings while casting. This will channel the magic into the ears. You will then change into your Genie form. But be careful when casting, if you do it wrong, you may not be able to complete the next 2 steps. The spell is on the next page. But you be careful.

Well, what she was about to do may change her, literally.

MAGIC-THROUGH-ME-CHANGE-ME!

"This is way too easy…" said a cocky Mai. She then grabbed a hold of her hoop earrings and then chanted:

"MAGIC-THROUGH-ME-CHANGE-ME!"

She will regret this change, trust me. The burst of magic then overflowed her body. She was changing alright… Her ponytail holder became solid gold, her wrists got Genie Bracelets, her ankle got the Golden Anklets and no genie would ever go complete without her Magic Gold Hoop Earrings and her Golden Genie Choker around her neck. But then her legs vanished and in its place she got a purple ghostly-like tail.

Mai noticed something new about her. Her glasses were all blurry. As she took them off, it was like being cured of blindness. She didn't need them anymore. And, add to the fact, she could actually read without them. Let's not forget, some more added "womanly changes".

4. Try it out. Oh, and if you want to revert at anytime just think yourself back to a Human and the earrings will return you to your Human form. Then it will be safe for you to take the earrings off and you will return to your actual Human form. To cast spells, just flip your ponytail and snap your fingers. Like before, if your trying it out, just picture something and then your magic will take over. And by the way, you'll know if you did it right when you feel your newly made Genie ears twitch a bit.

Wait, "newly made Genie ears?" she thought. It sounded confusing. She went to look in the mirror and her ears have been pointed. Looked something like Zelda from Legend of Zelda. Mai returned to her living room area, and tried out her new abilities. And she thought, and it worked, new night wear appeared before her.

5. Pack your bags 'cause you just discovered something Humans aren't normally allowed to see. You are going to Genie School where you will learn to be some lucky fool's obedient Master. Bye-Bye, and see you at Genie School.

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" screamed the terrified Mai. If this is like going back to school, it was going to COMPLETELY SUCK! As Mai tried to return to her Human form so she could take these earrings off, she got sucked into her new home. Her Lamp.

Poor Mai… She should have listen to the girl at the store. Going back to school meant terrible things. Mai had to learn the hard way. But at least she may end up getting a taste of her own medicine if she asks someone out at Genie School. But the next time you see some sort of Magic Tome, just remember this: curiosity killed the cat, or in Mai's case; her Humanity and freedom.

Ch. 3 End

To be continued…!

"I didn't even know they had different attire…" she muttered again; as she flipped to page 7.
The diagram picture has the exact same lamp-like item as she bought today.
. Wait! This wasn't what she bought? Was it?
