Jeannie woke up to the smell of Arabic coffee and a full Persian breakfast. She popped out of her bottle to see a familiar face that was remarkably identical to her own.
"Sister," Jeannie exclaimed, "What brings you to Cocoa Beach, Breakfast smells delicious, and what is that you have attached to my master's television?"
Jeannie's sister replied, "I just wanted to visit with my favorite sister. On the television is a video tape player, it sort of shows home movies."
The video tape recorder/player that Jeannie's sister liberated from casino security was state of the art for 1969. It was one of the first generation full color VTR's. The surveillance system in the Aladdin was equal to that of Area 51's, and actually superior to such systems found in NASA.
The two genies ate a nice breakfast and caught up on family matters. Finally Jeannie's sister went in the living room, and invited her sister to join her.
"So, sister, where is your master?" Jeannie's sister asked.
Jeannie replied, "He's testing an airplane for NASA."
Jeannie's sister said dubiously, "Really. You might want to watch this tape from Las Vegas Nevada."
The tape showed Major Nelson and Major Healey in a casino. It also showed Major Nelson talking to an attractive young genie! Worse still, the tape showed Major Nelson and Major Healy in what have must had been a performance for a sultan, as the genies were undressed!
Jeannie was about to explode, "This cannot be true! You are trying to trick me, sister!"
Jeannie's sister calmly replied, "Don't take my word for it, blink on over to the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas."
Jeannie's sister left, leaving her sister to stew what to do for hours. Finally, early that afternoon Jeannie blinked over to the pool area of the Aladdin. It was late in the morning there, already very warm out, drawing several guests to the pool. She did not stand out in her Jeannie outfit, in fact her attire was more conservative than many of the waitresses.
"Miss," a very pale middle aged man addressed her, "I'd like a bloody mary, and my wife will take a mimosa."
Jeannie replied, "By your command."
She then walked over to the bar, and placed the order.
The bartender said, "You're new, where's your tray?"
When Jeannie looked puzzled, the bartender pulled a tray out from behind the bar, and said, "Use this one"
While the bartender was mixing the drinks, Jeannie saw another genie, "Did the Blue Gin sentence you here to serve these people?"
The waitress replied, "No, it was the bright lights a flashing. Sweetie, if you have a problem with the Gin, go see Sally at Keno. She just got out of rehab.
Jeannie was astonished, "This Rehab can control the Blue Gin!"
The waitress replied, "Blue Gin, Johnny Walker Black, Cuervo Gold, Panama Red, Mexican Brown, whatever your poison is."
Jeannie carefully thought about what her fellow Genie had said. She felt sorry for these women, made powerless and forced to serve these guests of the Blue Gin. When she was giving the couple their drinks, she saw her master and Major Healey walking out to the pool area.
Jeannie went back up to the bar.
The cocktail waitress dressed like Jeannie was telling the bartender, "I think Gin is the least of Blondie's troubles over there. I think she's a leftover from when the Dead were playing the showroom earlier this spring."
The bartender started chuckling, but stopped when he saw Jeannie was in earshot.
The waitress was embarrassed, "Hey sweetie, I'm sorry, I can be such a bitch at times."
Jeannie was wide eyed, "No, you are right. My master somehow is under the spell of the Blue Gin. I must go over to him."
The waitress and the bartender exchanged glances, this chick was hot, but nuts. "Yeah, sure, go ahead and take your break," the bartender said. If she wanted to lounge around the pool instead of screwing up drink orders that was fine with him.
"Yeah, go ahead, more tips for me," added Tammy the waitress/genie.
"Thank you," Jeannie graciously said, and found a place where she could eavesdrop on her master.
After Jeannie left, the bartender told Tammy, "Master, man I wouldn't have pegged her for those type of games. That dude may look square, but he's got one hot chick drooling after him."
Tammy said, "He looks familiar, I think he's famous."
"Celebrities, a little bit of fame…" grunted the bartender.
Roger was definitely admiring the scenery. Tammy came up to the two astronauts to get their drink order. Up close, she was able to place Tony.
"I know who you are!" Tammy said, "You're Major Nelson, the astronaut. I saw you when you first checked in, and knew I'd seen you somewhere."
Tony smiled at the young waitress, she reminded him so much of Jeannie, "And this is another astronaut, Roger Healey. We're here on vacation." Tony decided to do his friend a solid by introducing him to the girl.
Tammy got Tony and Roger's autograph, and their order of two Bloody Mary's. Jeannie was hiding behind the shrubbery. Tammy thought it odd the way Jeannie appeared to be stalking Nelson, but could also understand why Tony passed her off to his friend. After all, this guy Nelson had a hot looking girlfriend or slave or whatever.
Tony never knew Jeannie was listening. With a little Absolut in him, he started chatting to Roger. "This is the life," Tony said.
"You're telling me," Roger said, "Tammy is hot… thanks buddy."
"No problem, buddy, just be sure to lock our adjoining door." Tony laughed. The woman tempted him, too. Both men were very aware of astronaut groupies. But he still was contemplating what his relationship with Jeannie was. A thought that would have helped him out a lot, if only he said it out loud.
"I really don't want to get on Janet," Roger said, referring to the flight back to Area 51.
"I know what you mean, but part of me will be running to get on Janet Monday morning." Tony replied.
Roger laughed, "You just want to play with Denise's little toy."
"Oh, you want a piece of that black beauty as much as I do," Tony said seductively, referring to the Blackbird.
Roger laughed and replied, "There's no way I'm going to let you have your way with her without being there right at your side."
Jeannie gasped. Her master and Major Healey MUST be under the influence of the Blue Gin. The harem, and the orgies, this was all typical for the evil ruler of genies. Crying, Jeannie ran into the casino.
Jeannie found Sally doing some odd chant for the Blue Gin.
"Keno," Sally kept saying while walking around the buffet, "Keno."
Jeannie wasn't familiar with the language, but decided to try English. She pulled Sally aside and whispered, "Sally, I must find Rehab to conquer the Blue Gin. My master and his best friend are doing horrible things, and I must free them from his spell."
Sally looked wide eyed. This girl needed a little more help than rehab. Tammy warned her earlier about a wild chick that must be drugged out, this must be her. Sally went over to the pit boss. "Get the house doc," she whispered.
When the hotel physician arrived, Jeannie asked "are you Rehab?"
The doctor replied, "No sweetie, but tell me what's wrong."
After hearing Jeannie's story of alcohol, orgies, and domination, the good doctor knew he was over his head. He immediately called for an ambulance.
The doctor told Jeannie, "These gentlemen will take you where you can get some help."
"Thank you, sir" Jeannie told the doctor.
"Just get well, honey," The doctor replied. The doctor then ordered the attendants, "Take her to psychiatric intake at Las Vegas Memorial."
