My Sick Jeannie
Chapter Four
The next day Jeannie got up and changed her clothes, putting her pajamas on a chair in Tony's bedroom. She watched him as he slept, his chest slightly moving up and down with every breath he took. Jeannie smiled at her masters sleeping position; his legs were thrown over the side pulling his body off the bed. She turned to go to the kitchen when she heard her name.
"Jeannie?"
"Yes master?" She asked and turned around, watching as he sat up.
"Do you have your powers back?" He asked sleepily.
"No master. Do you want some breakfast?"
"Can you cook without your powers?"
"Well I can try."
"Sure Jeannie, I would love some breakfast," he said getting up and walking into the bathroom. Jeannie went into the kitchen and started to cook Tony some breakfast.
About ten minutes later Tony came out of his room and smelled smoke. He went into the kitchen and saw Jeannie trying to put out an oven fire. He ran over to her and put it out.
"Jeannie what happened?"
"I do not know master." She said, tears coming to her eyes.
Tony noticed and was quick to reassure her.
"Jeannie it's alright. I'll tell you what, why don't you go shopping for a dress today and when I get back from the base I'll take you dancing." Jeannie looked up at her master and smiled.
"I would love that master."
"Good, I will be home around seven o'clock so be ready."
"Yes master, I will be."

Tony walked into NASA and headed for his office but Dr. Bellows stopped him.
"Good morning Major Nelson."
"Good morning sir."
"I just wanted to let you know that in a few days we will be having a meeting and it is mandatory."
"Yes sir, what day will that be?"
"Well I don't know, the general will call it."
"Yes sir." Tony said and walked into his office where Roger was waiting for him.
"Hello Roger."
"Oh hi Tony, listen, I met these two beauties last night and I told Joanna about you. She said she would love to meet you. So how about going out with them tonight?"
"I can't Rog."
"What? Why..why not?"
"Well I promised Jeannie I would take her dancing tonight."
"Come on Tony, you can take Jeannie out any night. These are beautiful out- of town girls."
Tony didn't say anything; he just walked over to the filing cabinet.
"Roger I would like to go, but I promised her. Besides, Jeannie is much prettier then those girls."
"How would you know? You haven't even met them."
"Well are they more attractive then Jeannie?"
"No. But Tony that's not the point."
"What is the point?"
"They asked me."
Tony laughed and grabbed his hat off the desk.
"Well you go and have a good time Rog. I have to go with Jeannie."
"Yeah okay," he said and watched his friend start to leave. "Where are you going now?"
"To see Dr. Bellows." He simply said and left.

"Good afternoon mam, how can I help you?"
Looking over her shoulder, Jeannie saw a very kind looking girl.
"Oh yes please. I am going dancing tonight and I need a new dress."
"I will love to help you. Now, what kind of dress would you like?"
"I do have a lot of black and white dresses."
"Then how about a little color." The assistant said and walked Jeannie over to the formal dresses.
"Excuse me, but what is your name?" Jeannie asked.
The girl looked down at her feet; obviously she was a little shy.
"Helen."
"That is a nice name." Jeannie said and looked at some of the dresses.
"Thank you. What is yours?"
"Jeannie."
"Jeannie? I haven't heard that name before. where are you from?"
"Oh, ummm, Chicago."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Was it nice there?"
"Oh yes, very nice."
Helen looked thoughtful then turned her attention back to the task at hand.
"Well here we are. Now I was thinking that for your hair and eye color, not to mention your complexion, that you would like lighter colors like light blue or pink, possibly red."
"Those are all wonderful colors." Jeannie said kindly as Helen took some dresses off the hangers and looked at them.
"Would you rather have long, knee length, or short?"
"Any would be fine."
Helen grabbed a short powder pink dress, a knee length baby blue, and finally a long red dress. She nodded her approval before handing them to Jeannie.
"Oh these are all lovely, I will go try it on." Jeannie said and followed Helen to the dressing rooms.
She tried the pink one on first. She liked the color, but Jeannie simply didn't like it on her. Reluctantly she walked out of the room to show Helen.
"Do you like it?"
"Oh goodness no. It makes you look too pale. Try the blue one." She instructed and Jeannie walked back in.
The blue one was better and Jeannie liked it, although she wasn't sure. When she walked out Helen said she liked it too.
"Well I like it better then the pink one. But still try the red one, that one is absolutely fabulous."
It took Jeannie a little more time to put the red one on, but she loved it. It was slightly glittery with thin spaghetti straps, it wasn't totally straight either, the top was straight and the bottom flared out just slightly. She twirled around in it and walked out.
"Helen I really like this one."
She turned around and a huge smile crossed her face.
"That dress is beautiful on you." she said and looked her over. "Whoever it is your going dancing with tonight is awfully lucky."
Jeannie smiled and felt herself blush.
"Well is that the one you're going to get?"
"Oh yes. I like this one very much."
Helen nodded. "Me too."
After Jeannie changed into her clothes the two walked to the front of the store and Jeannie paid for the dress.
"Well I hope you have a good time tonight Jeannie."
"I am sure I will. And thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome. I hope you come again."
"Oh I am sure I will."
Jeannie waved goodbye and headed out the door.
