Chapter Four
Jeannie II sat sideways on her throne in Major Nelson's living room, her legs draped over one of the armrests.
Major Nelson stood by Jeannie II's head, feeding her grapes from a brass bowl, as Major Healey massaged her feet. Dr. Bellows fanned Jeannie II with a giant palm frond.
This was truly The Life.
"Higher, please," commanded Jeannie II to Major Healey. "My ankles could use some work."
As Major Healey massaged Jeannie II's ankles, she let out a squeal of delight. "Ooooooh, that feels so GOOD!" she exclaimed.
Jeannie suddenly appeared before Jeannie II's throne, her arms folded in front of her chest in a fighting posture.
"It is over," said Jeannie. "It is finished."
Jeannie II glanced at Jeannie. "You want your precious Major Nelson back," she cooed. She then turned to Major Nelson, Major Healey, and Dr. Bellows and commanded, "MINIONS! SEIZE HER!"
Major Healey, Major Nelson, and Dr. Bellows suddenly rushed towards Jeannie.
I do not wish to harm them, Jeannie thought as the three men suddenly loomed towards her. Thinking quickly, she blinked. The three were now frozen in place.
Jeannie II glanced up towards the mantel and found Jeannie's bottle sitting there. Jeannie II blinked. Major Nelson disappeared.
"Where is my master?" Jeannie demanded, momentarily forgetting herself. "Where is Anthony?"
"In that bottle over there," Jeannie replied sweetly as she pointed towards the bottle.
Instinctively, Jeannie blinked and transformed herself into a column of pink smoke. She then floated over to the mantel and entered the bottle.
Jeannie II quickly leaped off her throne, grabbed the cork from the mantel, and sealed the bottle.
"Works every time," Jeannie II said to herself with a chuckle. She blinked. Major Nelson reappeared before her once more.
Jeannie II then let forth with a peal of evil, ringing laughter.
