"So what else should we wish for?" Joey asked to no one in particular as he sat in the grass. After their encounter with Seto, Mokuba thought it best to leave the mansion and stay out of Seto's way. They had gone to a park and Yugi and Tea had each made a wish, not for anything really in particular. More of just to test it out.
"How about a small car?" Tristan suggested.
"Yeah do you want that with or without a big sign saying I have a genie?" Meliara asked sarcastically.
"A little much huh?" Tristan asked.
"Just a tad." Meliara said gently. In all truth Mokuba and the others didn't mind not being able to make huge wishes. Mokuba already had everything he wanted, and the others just didn't really need anything big. They were content with making small ones and Meliara was more than happy to grant them, and to even throw in a little magic of her own off to the side. She hated trying to deprive them of being able to make big wishes, because she truly wanted to please her new friends. But she remembered what happened last time and she didn't want to end up being stuck in the lamp for a thousand more years. So she was grateful for their sacrifice on their part, which is why she threw in a little bit of "free" magic here and there.
"Hey I got it." Joey said. "I wish for all the hamburgers and shakes that I could eat right now, for me and everyone else here."
"All right! Here they come." Meliara said as she performed her magic, creating a hamburger stand right there.
"I'm starving." Tea said as she went to sit at a table.
"Probably because it's getting late." Yugi said as he sat next to her.
"I bet Seto is going to wonder why I missed dinner." Mokuba said more to himself than anyone else.
"Maybe we should all go home." Tea suggested. Her suggestions was met by a chorus of no's as everyone helped themselves to the food. After everyone had eaten their fill the stand disappeared as the stars stared to come out, sprinkling the night sky.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Mokuba said as he picked up the lamp. "I better get home before Seto gets really mad." The others nodded their understanding and after a myriad of good byes to Mokuba and Meliara the two made their way back to the mansion.

"There is no sign of him, Mr. Kaiba." A woman said to Seto as she entered the room. "Should I call the police?"
"No," Seto answered roughly as he stared moodily out the window. Where in the world was he? Seto had gone down to dinner to find that he was eating alone, with no sign of Mokuba or that girl anywhere. After he had quizzed one of the house keepers he found out that Mokuba and the others had left and hadn't returned. And although Seto didn't like to admit it, he was slightly concerned. Not just about his brother, but about Meliara as well. After all, Mokuba had never been out this late before.
"When that boy gets home, he is going to be grounded for a month." Seto said to himself as Mokuba and Meliara stood listening to him from a side door. Mokuba whispered something to Meliara as she smiled and nodded. She then pointed at Seto as a stream of magic weaved its way through the air, hitting him in the back. Seto had a stunned look on his face for a split second until Meliara and Mokuba entered the room.
"We're back." Mokuba said as Seto, and three other house keepers turned to face them.
"Mokuba Kaiba, I think your brother has something to say to you." One of them said sternly.
Seto glanced at them for a moment before smiling.
"Welcome home, can I get you two anything?" he asked sweetly. Meliara and Mokuba had to fight to control their laughter. Apparently, the magic was working wonders on his disposition.
"No thank you." Mokuba said. "We're fine."
"Then I bet that your are tired after your long day." Seto said as he walked with them up the stairs.
"Yes, I am." Mokuba admitted. "Good night, Seto." He said when they reached the door to his room.
Seto gave another cheesy smile and wished him good night as he left to go to his own room. Mokuba and Meliara rushed into Mokuba room and quickly shut the door. They both fell on the floor, laughing hysterically.
"I have never seen Seto act that way before." He said gasping for breath.
"I know, I probably shouldn't have made him that cheesy, but I couldn't help it." Meliara said holding her sides.
"When will the magic wear off?" Mokuba wanted to know.
"Fairly soon." Meliara replied slowly catching her breath. "Since it wasn't an official wish, I could only make it last a few minutes."
"But that was defiantly worth it." Mokuba said as they started laughing again, thinking of Seto's cheesy smile. "Joey would have loved to see that."
