Pin the Blame On the Genie
Sofia, Madeline and Roland were in Tangu. Roland was speaking with Zandar's father, King Habib.
"We have some time before our trade discussions begin, King Roland." Habib declared. "Is there something you would like to do first?"
"How about a quick tour of the market, King Habib?" Roland suggested. "I'd like to get a new shawl for Miranda."
"And we'd like to see our friend Kazeem." Sofia added.
"How's he doing?" Madeline asked.
"Kazeem?" A tall man in red robes approached. "That mischief-making genie?"
"Please excuse my new royal wizard." Habib frowned. "Omar is... not fond of genies."
"Why should I be, sire?" Omar approached them. "Magic is serious! Royal wizards like me are serious! Genies, on the other hand are... silly."
"Maybe Kazeem was mischievious before, but now he's on the Genie Patrol." Sofia declared. "He takes that very seriously."
"Look out!"
Kazeem, driving a flying carpet-cycle crashed into Omar, knocking them both into a tent.
"Kazeem!" Madeline called, as she and Sofia rushed over to help.
"Uhh... sorry!" Kazeem apologized as he popped out the tent, on Omar's head.
"I rest my case." Omar frowned.
"Can't talk now, girls." Kazeem declared. "Genie Patrol biz. A rogue genie is on the loose, breaking all the rules!"
A fat genie flew by.
"Ali Bobo is free from his lamp!" He chuckled. "Who has a wish for Ali Bobo?"
"...I wish you would make me a birthday cake." One bystander declared.
"Watch out, it's a trick!" Kazeem yelled.
"Ali ka-bobo!" Ali Bobo declared, turning the man into a walking cake. "You are now a birthday cake!"
"This is not what I expected!" The cake-man yelped.
"Oh, my!" habib gasped. "What shall we do?"
"Kazeem will take care of it!" Sofia smiled.
Kazeem whistled, and his carpet bike flew over to him. He rode it over to the rogue genie.
"Ali Bobo made a funny!" The genie cackled, flying away.
"Pull it over, Ali Bobo!" Kazeem ordered.
"No chance!" Ali Bobo sneered.
"Ka-blooey!" Kazeem conjured up a stoplight in front of Ali Bobo, causing him to stop.
"What?!" Ali Bobo frowned. As he tried to escape, more stoplights appeared to block his path.
"Can't escape the long arm of the law!" Kazeem stretched his arm, wrapping it around Ali Bobo.
"Ali Bobo never gets to have fun!" Ali Bobo pouted.
"Nobody said you can't have fun, Bobo." Sergeant Fizz arrived. "Just follow the rules!" He conjured up a scroll that unfurled onto the ground.
"Sergeant Fizz!" Madeline smiled, as she and Sofia leapt on the scroll paper, which carried them over to him.
"Afternoon, Princess Sofia, Princess Madeline." Sergeant Fizz smiled as the girls hugged him. "Nice work, Junior Patrolman." He told Kazeem. "Now, finsh the job."
"Hey!" The cake-man yelled, as two kids tried to eat him. "I may be delicious, but I am still a person!"
"Kablooey!" Kazeem waved his hand. "...Hey, nothing happened!"
"Genie rule #21: Only the genie who grants a wish can undo the wish!" Sergeant Fix conjured up the scroll.
"Right, I forgot." He turned to Ali Bobo. "Unmake that cake, rogue genie!"
Kazeem uncoiled his arm, spinning Ali Bobo around.
"Okay, okay!" Ali Bobo groaned. "Ali ka-bobo!"
The cake-man changed back to normal, and the crowd cheered.
"Lamp 'im, Kazeem!" Sergeant Fizz ordered, conjuring up a lamp.
Kazeem took the lamp and pulled Ali Bobo inside it. He then returned the lamp to Sergeant Fizz.
"And that's how we do it in the Genie Patrol." Sergeant Fizz declared.
"Well done, Genie Patrol!" Habib lead the applause.
"Your majesty, Junior Patrolman Kazeem and I have now rounded up all of the rogue genies and confined them to their lamps until they learn to follow the genie rules." Sergeant Fizz announced, conjuring up several lamps.
"Ah. I'll reward you both with... a day off!" Habib smiled.
"A day off!" Sofia cheered.
"That's great, Kazeem!" Madeline smiled. "You can join us in the market!"
"That sounds funtastic, girls!" Kazeem grinned. "I'd love to!"
"If I may?" Omar stepped forward. "This little genie may be playing hero now, but not too long ago, wasn't he a rogue genie, granting wishes willy-nilly, conjuring up huge cookies and putting wings one a camel?"
"Oh, but that was before." Sofia countered.
"Well, didn't he slam his flying carpet into me, just now?" Omar growled. "He's a menace, and should be confined to his lamp as well!"
"It was an accident!" Kazeem protested.
"Oh, I think we can pardon a little youthful energy." Roland declared. "You try keeping up with two princesses like my girls. They have energy, enough to keep you on your toes."
"Sire, I'd stake my reputation on the kid." Sergeant Fizz declared. "If he's a menace, then so am I."
"As you say, Sergeant Fizz." Habib nodded. "Now, let us all go to the market!"
"You go, kid." Sergeant Fizz told Kazeem. "I'll take this rogue genie back to HQ and book 'im. The Genie Patrol's work is never done."
Sergeant Fizz flew off on his carpet.
Later, the group made their way through the market.
"Omar's wrong, Kazeem." Madeline declared. "Me and Sofia can see how much you've changed."
"Thanks to you, girls." Kazeem smiled. "For helping me become a Junior Patrolman."
They found themselves stopping, as a line of crossing camels blocked their path.
"Apologies, friends, for the delay." Habib frowned. "Shoo, camels! Shoo!" The camels wouldn't stop. "How enbarrassing. I wish these camels would just get out of our way!"
At that moment, the camels grew wings, and started flying up, one by one.
"Hey, wait!" Habib yelped. "What is the meaning of this?!"
The flying camels started terrorizing the marketplace. Everyone ran to hide.
"King Habib, careful!" Sofia called from her family's hiding spot.
King Habib crashed into some pots, kicking up a crowd of purple dust.
"What happened?" Madeline asked.
"I have no idea!" Roland frowned.
"Ah-choo!" Habib sneezed.
"If I may." Omar suddenly appeared. "It's perfectly clear what happened. King Habib made a wish that the camels would move, and this genie mischieviously granted it!"
"No, I didn't!" Kazeem protested.
"Then who did?" Omar asked. "Sergeant Fizz said all rogue genies are locked up."
"Kazeem said he didn't do it." Sofia declared. "And I believe him."
"Me too." Madeline added.
"Thanks, girls." Kazeem smiled.
"But did he not give a camel wings once before?" Omar recalled.
"Sure, once!" Kazeem admitted. "But what does that have to-"
"I rest my case once again." Omar sneered. "Like all genies, he's a menace. Sire, I recommend you remove him from the genie patrol, and banish him to his lamp."
"No!" Sofia, Madeline and Kazeem yelled.
"Enough!" Habib yelled. "I'm sure there's an explanation. You're not back to your old tricks, are you, my boy?"
"No way, sire!" Kazeem declared. "I'm not like that any more."
Habib sneezed again, causing Kazeem to laugh.
"You see? He's laughing!" Omar growled. "It's all a big joke to him!"
"I didn't mean to!" Kazeem protested. "He sneezed, and it was... funny!"
"Hmph, I see." Habib frowned. "Well, if there is any more funny business Kazeem, there will be consequences, understood? No more tricks."
"Yes, sire." Kazeem nodded.
"King Roland, let us get cleaned up." Habib suggested.
"I'll just be a few minutes, girls." Roland told his daughters.
"Okay, dad." Sofia smiled.
"Hurry back!" Madeline added.
"Thanks for sticking by me, girls." Kazeem declared.
"Of course, Kazeem." Sofia nodded.
"But it looks like we're the only ones who believe you." Madeline frowned.
"What I don't get is that someone granted that wish." Sofia mused. "But who?"
"It's a mystery, for sure." Kazeem admitted.
"Luckily, we know someone who can solve any genie mystery." Madeline grinned. "Come on!"
Back at Genie Patrol headquarters, Sergeant Fizz placed Ali Bobo's lamp in a cage.
"All ya gotta do, Bobo, is learn the genie rules, and you're out." He declared. "Unless someone rubs your lamp first."
"Ali Bobo doesn't like rules!" Ali Bobo yelled. "Ali Bobo would rather escape!"
"Yeah, that's what they all say." Sergeant Fizz smirked.
"Sergeant Fizz?" Sofia called, as she, Madeline and Kazeem entered the room.
"We need your help." Madeline added.
"Okay, give me the rundown." Sergeant Fizz requested.
"The rundown." Kazeem nodded. "Right: King Habib made a wish that some camels would move, and then they sprouted wings, and made a big mess, and I laughed when I shouldn't have, and now everyone thinks that I did it, but I didn't!"
We know Kazeem didn't do it." Sofia declared. "But how do we prove it?"
"Well, that's not Sergeant Fizz's department." Sergeant Fizz shrugged. "You need..." He snapped his fingers, conjuring an overcoat and fedora for himself. "Detective Fizz, private eye!"
"So what are we going to do, Serge- I mean, Detective Fizz?" Madeline asked.
"We are going to investigate." Detective Fizz declared. "Bring me to the scene of the charm."
They lead Detective Fizz to the marketplace.
"Okay, this is King Habib made his wish, and that's where the camels got wings." Sofia pointed out.
"Okay. Step one of any investigation: dust for fingerprints." Detective Fizz announced.
"How do we dust sand for fingerprints, Sarge?" Kazeem asked.
"The same way we do anything, kid." Detective Fizz replied. "With style."
Detective Fizz snapped his finger. Everything went dark, save for a spot of light from a lamp post. He handed Madeline a magnifying glass.
"There are a hundred magic-makers in this kingdom, and every spell tells a story." Detective Fizz announced, flinging green powder everywhere.
"So that powder will tell you who cast the spell?" Madeline asked.
"Close, Madeline." Detective Fizz answered. "It'll tell us what kind of magic-maker cast it. It might not even be a genie."
"I didn't think of that." Sofia admitted. "It might have been a witch, or a fairy, or a sorcerer!"
"This'll prove I'm innocent, easy!" Kazeem smiled.
The green dust flew up into the air. As Madeline looked through the magnifying glass, she saw a lamp appear within it.
"Bullseye. It was a genie." Detective Fizz declared.
"It wasn't me, I swear!" Kazeem insisted.
"Hold on, Detective Fizz." Sofia stepped in. "Just because it was a genie doesn't mean it was Kazeem."
"Yeah." Madeline nodded. "We need more clues to be sure."
"Good points, girls." Detective Fizz smiled. "Onto step two: Interrogate the witnesses." He flew over to a woman. "Where were you this morning, miss?"
"Uh... standing right here." The woman declared.
"So you have no alibi, eh?" Detective Fizz frowned.
"No, but I have turbans, and neckscarfs!" She offered him some of the clothes. "How about a fez?"
"I'll ask the questions here." Detective Fizz declared. "Ooh, do you have that in red?"
While Detective Fizz continued his interrogation, Sofia and Madeline looked around. As they did, a small plant fell at Sofia's feet. They looked up, seeing a flying camel chewing on another plant.
"Hello, mister camel?" Sofia called. "May we ask you a few questions, please?"
"You talking to me?" The camel flew down.
"Yes, she was." Madeline nodded. "Did you notice anything strange today?"
"You mean from before I got wings and met two girls who understand camel?" The camel asked.
"Yeah, right before then." Sofia smiled. "Um, we were wondering... did you happen to see who cast that spell on you?"
"Nope." The camel answered. "But I did see where the magic flash came from: right over there." He pointed to a shadowy part of the market, where a small object buried in the sand.
"A clue!" Madeline smiled. "Thank you!"
"No fuzz off my hump." The camel nodded. "Gotta fly!"
As the camel took off, Sofia and Madeline inspected the object. Sofia pulled it out of the sand. It was a tiny lamp.
"Whatchya find, girls?" Kazeem asked.
"That camel said the spell that changed him came from here." Sofia announced. "And look what we found!" She held up the lamp.
"Do you think-?" Kazeem started.
"It belongs to the genie who cast the spell? Sure do!" Madeline grinned. "Let's show Detective Fizz!"
Back at the stall, Detective Fizz had two arms full of clothes.
"So, you want the turban, and the scarf, and the fez?" The woman asked.
"Just the fez, ma'am, just the fez." Detective Fizz replied.
"Detective Fizz, we found a clue!" Sofia announced.
Detective Fizz threw away the clothes, and flew over.
"Bingo!" He declared. "Just give me the short version."
Kazeem shrunk down a little.
"According to a flying camel, this belongs to the guilty genie." He revealed. "Now you'll know it wasn't me!"
"So to find the guilty genie, all we've gotta do is find out who is missing this trinket from his..." Detective Fizz trailed off, as he placed the little lamp on Kazeem's turban.
"Kazeem..." Madeline frowned.
"I didn't do it!" Kazeem insisted.
"Kid, you're in a pickle. And I don't mean the kind you put in a sandwich." Detective Fizz sighed.
"Sofia! Madeline! You believe me, right?" Kazeem asked.
"Well, I uh, I..." Sofia stuttered.
"We should really catch up with out dad." Madeline said awkwardly.
"You still believe me, right?" Kazeem pleaded.
"Kazeem, are you sure you didn't... y'know, grant this one little wish?" Sofia asked. "For fun?"
"You can tell us?" Madeline urged.
"No!" Kazeem said firmly.
"Then... I believe you." Sofia smiled.
"Me too." Madeline nodded.
Meanwhile, Roland and Habib were at a fruit stand.
"These are delicious, King Habib." Roland declared, biting into an apple.
"I wish you could sample all the fruits and vegetables of Tangu!" Habib declared.
The fruits and vegetables started floating upward.
"Look out!" Sofia and Madeline yelled.
The produce floated above Habib, then all dropped on top of him at once.
"I cannot believe this!" He groaned, covered in juice. "Twice in one day! How humilating!"
"I don't understand." Roland helped him up. "What just happened?"
"If I may." Omar approached. "this is more genie mischief. King Habib for more fruits and vegetables, and that is exactly what Kazeem gave him."
"I didn't, I promise!" Kazeem splutted.
"Sire, I insist that you banish him to his lamp immediately." Omar told Habib. "Think of your wardrobe!"
"Sire, please!" Kazeem begged.
"I am sorry, but even a king has only so many formal outfits." Habib sighed. "It is time to decide once and for whether you are guilty of this crime. Detective Fizz?"
"One genie court trial, coming right up." Detective Fizz nodded.
Later on, at the Genie Patrol headquarters, the trial began.
"Order in the court!" Habib, acting as the judge, banged his gavel. "Order in the court!"
"Hear ye, hear ye." Detective Fizz, now dressed like a bailiff, declared. "The case of kingdom versus Kazeem will now kick off."
"What's happening?" Kazeem asked.
"I'm not sure." Sofia whispered.
"Me neither." Madeline added.
"You're on trial, Kazeem." Roland explained. "Omar will show evidence of why he thinks you did it, and King Habib will decide if he's right."
"As my first witness, I call... Detective Fizz." Omar announced.
Detective Fizz changed back into his detective outfit..
"I've got your back, kid." He whispered to Kazeem before taking the stand.
"Do you swear to tell the truth?" Omar asked.
"Always." Detective Fizz raised his hand.
"Detective, I understand you've been investigating the case of the mischievious wishes?" Omar inquired.
"Yes, I dusted for magical fingerprints to see who gave the camels wings." Detective Fizz nodded.
"And was it Kazeem?" Omar asked.
"It was a genie." Detective Fizz answered. "But that doesn't mean it was Kazeem!"
"What else did you find?" Omar continued.
"Just a trinket, near where the camel spell was cast from." Detective Fizz declared.
"And did it belong to Kazeem?" Omar asked.
"It did, but-" Detective Fizz started.
"And wasn't Kazeem the only other genie around when all the fruit fell on Habib?" Omar interrupted.
"Sure, but that doesn't mean the kid's guilty." Detective Fizz replied.
"Then who is?" Omar demanded. "You told the King all the other rogue genies are safely contained in their lamps, didn't you?"
"Well, I did." Detective Fizz gulped. "Well, I-I mean they are, but, but I mean-"
"You must tell the truth, Detective." Omar urged. "What do all these facts point to?"
"I guess..." Detective Fizz hesitated. "...The facts point to Kazeem."
"Sarge, no!" Kazeem yelled.
"I rest my case." Omar smirked.
"What a shame..." Roland sighed.
"Your honor, wait!" Sofia stood up.
"We'd like to say something!" Madeline added.
"You may proceed, Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline." Habib nodded.
"We know Kazeem." Sofia declared. "He's a good genie."
Kazeem conjured up a blue halo around his head.
"But anyone can make a mistake." Madeline continued. "Please, Kazeem, just say you're sorry, and maybe they won't put you in your lamp!"
"I object!" Kazeem yelled.
"On what grounds?" Omar asked.
"On the ground that I thought you two were my friends!" Kazeem glared at Sofia and Madeline.
"We are your friends, Kazeem." Sofia insisted. "Right, Maddie?"
"We just don't want to see you get lamped!" Madeline added. "Just please, say you're sorry!"
"I didn't do it!" Kazeem repeated.
"I have heard enough!" Habib banged his gavel. "I am sorry, Kazeem. I must find you... guilty. Remove him from the Genie Patrol and confine him to his lamp until further notice! Sergeant-at-arms?"
Reluctantly, Detective Fizz reverted back to his bailiff outfit, and flew over to Kazeem.
"Sorry, kid." He conjured up Kazeem's lamp. "But I've gotta-"
"Lamp me." Kazeem finished. "I heard. Some partner you turned out to be."
"Kazeem, we're really sorry, too." Sofia apologized.
"Yeah, sure you are." Kazeem scoffed.
Kazeem flew into his lamp.
"If I may." Omar declared. "I call Detective Fizz back to the stand."
"Me?" Detective Fizz frowned.
"Why?" Madeline asked.
Habib nodded in agreement.
"This is a little unorthodox, but if you insist." Detective Fizz changed back into his detective outfit and took the stand.
"Detective, is it not true you staked your reputation on Kazeem?" Omar asked. "Did you not say, and I quote..." He unfurled a scroll. "...'If he's a menace, so am I'?"
"Yeah, so?" Detective Fizz frowned.
"Your honor, he admits it himself!" Omar smirked. "The entire Genie patrol is a menace! Detective Fizz must go back into his lamp too, and the Genie Patrol must be disbanded!"
"we object!" Sofia and Madeline said together.
"You did put your reputation on the line when you vouched for Kazeem." Habib recalled. "I am sorry, Detective. Please pack up Genie Patrol headquarters, and return to your lamp by sundown." He banged his gavel. "Court adjourned!"
The crowd began to leave.
"What can we do, Detective Fizz?" Sofia asked.
"It's not 'Detective' anymore, kid." Detective Fizz returned to his usual outfit. "It's just plain old Fizz. I'm afraid this case is closed."
Shortly afterward, Sofia and Madeline were walking with Roland in the market. They stopped at the stall run by the woman Fizz interrogated earlier.
"I've been looking everywhere for a green shawl." Roland declared. "Do you happen to have one?"
"Dad, I think we may have made a mistake." Madeline sighed.
"At the trial?" Roland asked.
"I'm so confused." Sofia frowned. "The facts seem to say we shouldn't believe Kazeem, but in my heart, I still do."
"So do I." Madeline admitted.
"Are you sure you have all the facts?" Roland inquired.
"What do you mean?" Sofia replied. "We investigated."
"Well, did you look everywhere?" Roland asked.
"We examined every inch of the place where the camels got wings." Madeline nodded.
"...But we haven't looked at where all the fruit fell on Habib!" Sofia realized.
"That's right!" Madeline nodded. "Dad, you're a genius!"
"I just now to keep looking until I find what I'm after." Roland held up the shawl.
"Mom'll love it!" Sofia smiled.
"And we love you!" Madeline added as she and Sofia raced away.
Back at Genie Patrol HQ, Fizz was clearing away his things.
"Sergeant Fizz!" Sofia called, as she and Madeline rushed in. "We have to reopen the case!"
...What are you doing?" Madeline frowned.
"Packing up HQ, Madeline." Fizz sighed, dumping some donuts in a trash can. "See this?" He held up a badge. "I was gonna make Kazeem a Junior-Senior Junior Patrolman. But not any more." He sniffed.
"Are you... crying?" Sofia asked.
"A Genie Patrolmand doesn't cry!" Fizz declared... before bursting into tears. "But I'm not a Genie Patrolman any more!"
"Fizz, we all know deep down that Kazeem is innocent." Madeline declared.
"You... were at the trial." Fizz sobbed. "It's an open-and-shut case!"
Fizz dropped the badge, and Sofia caught it.
"We have to keep looking!" Sofia insisted. "We have to give him one more chance!"
Fizz: A Genie Patrolman has very tough views
We stick to facts only
We just follow the clues
Sofia: But what if the truth is not clear at first glance?
There's more to this story
Give the kid one more chance
Fizz: I've caught lots of genies who all went astray
This kid's just like they were
In his lamp he must stay
Madeline: We all know Kazeem, though
He just wouldn't lie
Think out of the lamp
Just give the kid one more try
Fizz: My heart hears what you're saying
But my hard head just says nope
Spend my days jailing genies
I ain't familiar with hope
Sofia: We believe in you, Sergeant
Like we still believe in Kazeem
Don't give up on your friends, Sergeant
You are the genie dream team
"I hear what you're singing, Princesses. "Fizz admitted. "But how could we just start a whole new investigation?"
"How else? With style!" Madeline grinned, throwing Fizz his detective hat. Fizz changed back into his detective attire.
Fizz: I guess what you're saying is
Soften my stance
Believe in my gut and give the kid
One more chance
Sofia:You're not just a gumshoe
Stuck in an old dance
You've learned a new step
Fizz: I'll give the kid one more chance
Madeline: He deserves one more chance
Sofia/Madeline/Fizz:Give Kazeem one more chance
As they flew back to the market, they passed Omar.
"Omar sesame!" Omar declared, causing the fruit to fly up and vanish.
"Fizz, stop!" Madeline declared.
"What do you see, Madeline?" Sergeant Fizz stopped the carpet.
Madeline led them over to a stack of carpets, where they hid and watched.
"Omar sesame!" Omar repeated, making more fruit disappear.
"What's Genie Rule #21 again?" Sofia asked.
"'Only the genie who grants a wish can undo that wish'." Sergeant Fizz recited. "Why?"
"Look!" Madeline pointed. "Isn't Omar reversing the fruit and vegetable spell?"
"He is." Sergeant Fizz realized. "But how can he do that? He's a wizard, not a genie."
His work done, Omar walked away.
"Let's follow him." Sofia urged. "Come on, hurry!"
They followed Omar to a red caravan, which he entered. Sofia, Madeline and Sergeant Fizz sneaked over to one of the windows.
"Time for a little victory relaxation." Omar took off his cloak, revealing a red, misty tail instead of legs, hovering inches off the ground.
"He's a genie!" Sergeant Fizz gasped.
"What was that?" Omar turned around, forcing the others to duck. "A mouse? Or is my wagon infested with genies?"
Omar reached through the window, pulling Sergeant Fizz up by his tail.
"Who are you calling a genie, genie?" Sergeant Fizz frowned. "You're a genie too! A genie pretending to be a royal wizard!"
"Can you blame me!" Omar scowled. "Genies are ridiculous!" He spun Sergeant Fizz around, then trapped him in chains. "Growing up, I was surrounded by silly genies like you. But I wanted to be someone serious. I dreamed of becoming a royal wizard!"
"Well, what's stopping up you?" Sergeant Fizz struggled.
"King Habib would never take a genie seriously." Omar snorted. Sofia and madeline watched as he drifted around the caravan. "There was only one way to get the job of my dreams: pretend not to be a genie!" He held up his own lamp.
"You had me fooled." Sergeant Fizz admitted.
"I made it look like Kazeem was causing mischief again, when it was really yours truly." Omar chuckled.
"All to keep the Genie Patrol from catching the sneakiest rogue genie of all: you." Sergeant Fizz growled.
"Good work, Detective." Omar smirked. "You deserve a long vacation... in my lamp!"
Omar forced Sergeant Fizz into his lamping, causing Sofia and Madeline to gasp in shock.
"Most villains would laugh triumphantly at this point." Omar admitted. "But that would be... silly. Now to fix those flying camels before they make even more trouble!"
Grabbing his cloak, Omar left the caravan. Sofia and Madeline hid as he passed by.
"Sofia, we're going to need Kazeem's help." Madeline declared.
"Definitely." Sofia nodded.
The two rushed back to Genie Patrol HQ. Inside, they unlocked the cage containing Kazeem's lamp. Madeline took out the lamp and rubbed it.
"Kazeem, we're so sorry." Madeline apologized. "We were wrong about you."
"Can you ever forgive us?" Sofia added.
Kazeem emerged from his lamp.
"It's too late, girls." He frowned. "Friends are supposed to stick by each other."
"You're right." Madeline sighed. "And that's why we decided to keep investigating: Because we believe in you."
"And we found proof that you're innocent." Sofia revealed.
"You did?!" Kazeem smiled.
"It was Omar." Madeline declared. "he pinned the blame on you, and now he's captured Fizz, and we need-"
"The Genie Patrol!" Kazeem conjured up his Patrolman turban and Sofia and Madeline's Patrol outfits. "Come on, partners." He conjured up his carpet-cycle. "We've got a rogue genie to catch!"
Sofia and Madeline got on the cycle, and they all flew into the marketplace. Sofia spotted Roland.
"Dad!" She called.
"Girls?" Roland frowned. "Why is Kazeem free?"
"No time to explain, dad." Madeline said quickly. "We need you to bring King Habib to the store where you got mom's shawl, right away."
"If you think it's important, I'm on it." Roland rushed off.
"Girls, there he is!" Kazeem pointed ahead.
Omar was standing before the flying camels.
"Omar sesame!" He tried to change them back, but missed. "Hold still!"
"Hey, cut it out!" The camel from before yelled. "I like my wings!"
"Kablooey!" Kazeem conjured up a stop sign in front of Omar.
"Well, well, well." Omar scowled. "The Genie Patrol. I thought I'd gotten rid of you."
"Never!" Sofia declared.
As they rushed forward, Omar turned a camel back to normal, so it would fall and block their path.
"Come on!" Kazeem flew off the bike. "He's getting away!"
"Chase him toward the shawl shop!" Madeline urged, as they chased the flying genie.
Omar run into a dead end.
"We're turning you in!" Kazeem declared.
"It's the end of the alley for you, Omar!" Sofia added.
"The King will never believe you!" Omar cackled.
"You're right." Madeline nodded. "Your plan was too silly for anyone to believe!"
"Silly? Me?" Omar frowned. "I used my genie magic to grant those wishes, and I made it look like he did it. I'd say that's seriously clever!"
"And I'd say that's why you're going into your lamp for a very, very long time!" Habib declared, having heard the whole thing alongside Roland and two guards. "Guards, seize him!"
"You'll never catch me!" Omar flew past the advancing guards. But Kazeem stretched out his arm and grabbed him, pulling him back. "No! I am a royal wizard!" Kazeem forced him into his lamp. "This is so, if I may, undignified!"
"Sergeant Fizz!" Sofia rubbed Omar's lamp, freeing him.
"Girls, you sprung me outta the hoosegow!" Sergeant Fizz smiled.
"Uh... what?" Madeline frowned.
"You saved me." Sergeant Fizz explained.
"It was Kazeem, too." Sofia added.
"I never doubted him!" Sergeant Fizz gave Kazeem a one-armed hug. "...Okay, maybe for a minute. Ah, kid, I blew it! Can ya ever forgive me?"
"Hmm... okay!" Kazeem hugged Sergeant Fizz.
Sergeant Fizz put a new badge on Kazeem's turban.
"That's my Junior-Senior Junior Patrolman." He smiled.
"Thanks, Sarge." Kazeem flew over to Sofia and Madeline. "And thank you, girls, for being true friends."
As Kazeem hugged them, Roland showed off his shawl.
"King Habib, look at this wonderful shawl I got my wife..." He smiled.
