Tammy awoke to the smell of breakfast. Tony and Roger had ordered room service, and we're eating it in the next room. She was still wearing Jeannie's outfit.

Roger heard Tammy stirring and said, "some food in your stomach is the best thing for a hangover."

Tammy walked in the room, and both astronauts stopped eating. First of all, neither had realized that her outfit was identical to Jeannie's; secondly, she was younger than they first thought; and third, she looked a lot like Jeannie. She could pass for Jeannie's kid sister.

Tony broke the ice with, "That's some outfit."

Tammy replied, "I think it's your girlfriend's. I was sent to the mental hospital to pick it up because they thought it belonged to the Aladdin. This outfit is far too high of quality to belong to the hotel. I decided to try it on because it was so pretty. I'll change back into my street clothes."

Tony asked, "You saw Jeannie?"

Tammy replied, "Yes, their keeping her in a holding room until she can be evaluated tomorrow."

Roger followed up with, "Can you draw a map showing where she is at, with as much of the hospital layout as possible?"

"Sure," Tammy asked, "what else can I do?"

Roger said, "We'll need the name of an army/navy store, and somewhere where we can rent tools and a Suburban with heavily tinted glass."

One call to the concierge, and Tammy got them specific information on what they needed. When the men looked surprised Tammy said, "You can get anything in Vegas, for the right price. Anything else?"

Tony said, "Yes, do you work today?"

Tammy replied, "From noon until 8 PM"

Tony said, "Good. Come here after work. We may not be here, but let yourself in, and stay here until we tell you otherwise. And if anybody were to ask, say you were with us."

Tammy looked puzzled, but said "All right."

Roger and Tony went out to get the equipment and the truck. The hours seemed to slowly go as if they were days, but the operation had to be done at night. At around 2030, there was a knocking on the hotel room door. It was Tammy.

"Hi Tammy, " Roger said, "make it seem as if someone is here. Play the radio, watch TV, whatever. Just put out the do not disturb sign, and don't leave the room."

Tony and Roger were counting on using the party boy image they gained to give an alibi. They two astronauts then made their way down to the black GMC suburban waiting for them in the parking lot. In the truck, the two changed into full commando gear, including black face. They drove over to the hospital, where Roger disabled the alarm, and they were able to sneak on to Jeannie's floor.

Jeannie looked guarded, "Master, are you under the influence of the Blue Gin?"

Tony replied, "No Jeannie, its all been a big misunderstanding, please believe me."

Jeannie looked into her master's eyes, and knew he was telling the truth, and said angrily, "No, not a misunderstanding, I have been deceived!"

Jeannie blinked the three of them back in the suburban, in regular clothing. Jeannie, Roger, and Tony then returned to the hotel rooms.

Tammy said to Jeannie, "I am so sorry. You must think I'm bitch of the year."

Jeannie very graciously said, "Its not your fault."

Tammy handed Jeannie her outfit and said, "Its very pretty, you are far more beautiful than any of the girls that work here."

Jeannie smiled and said, "You are very pretty yourself."

Jeannie went into the other room to blink into her clothes while Roger and Tony stayed with Tammy.

"Tammy," asked Tony, "Could you stay here a while longer? It would really help us out."

"Sure, I guess," Tammy said, wondering why, "You're not going to rob the place are you?"

Tony laughed, "No, but there are some things we need to set straight."

On that, Tony and Roger joined Jeannie in the other room.

Tony made a request, "Jeannie, can you make yourself look like Tammy?"

Jeannie replied, somewhat suspicious, "Yes, Master, what do you have in mind."

Tony answered, "Oh, nothing bad, I just want to show you around the place. If you and Roger don't mind, it would come off better if he was escorting you."

Roger said, "It would be my pleasure."

Tony and Roger gave Jeannie a tour of the place, explaining the theme, which Jeannie liked very much. She was a little critical of the costumes though. They also explained their remarks at the pool, that Janet was the code word for a flight, Denise was in charge of their air plane, which was the 'black beauty' they talked about. For the final part of the explanation, they got tickets to the late show of "I Dream of Jeannie" at the Aladdin. Jeannie saw that the topless part was tasteful, and made the show more exciting. But when the star entered Jeannie's relief that there was an explanation turned into anger.

"Master!" Jeannie frantically whispered in Tony's ear, "that's my sister!"

All at once things started making sense to Tony. It was all a set up, once again, to do away with Jeannie. Jeannie's sister probably was just getting ready to make her move. Tony pointed it to Roger. Roger didn't seem too surprised.

"I told you she looked a little too much like Jeannie," The army officer said.

"Well, we have to stop this show," Tony said.

"No problem," Jeannie replied. At that she started blinking. Actors were missing marks and lines, scenery was falling. Audience members were booing and walking out. The play closed that night.

Afterwards Jeannie's sister came up to Tony, Roger, and Jeannie (who still appeared as Tammy).

"You know, sister, I can recognize you anywhere," Jeannie's sister said.

"That was just mean of you sister, " Jeannie replied.

Jeannie's sister grinned, "Just keeping you on your toes. Remember, don't let your master out of your sight." After that Jeannie's sister vanished.

Later they went up to the hotel room. Jeannie changed back into herself, and they all bid Tammy a good night. Tony thought about everything Jeannie had been through.

"Jeannie," He offered, "Why don't you come and see why we had to leave?"

"Oh, do you mean it master?" she asked.

"Sure, Roger and I have to catch an airplane in an hour to where we work, can you meet us there?" He asked.

"Of course, master, I can just follow you." She replied.

Monday night, Tony and Roger took the YF12A out for a flight. Jeannie was stowed away in a toolbox. She could finally see why her master wanted to fly this plane. It flew high and fast.

"You know, Major Healey," Jeannie Teased, "I think that Tammy really liked you."

Roger laughed then looked shocked. He got Tony's attention and pointed to his microphone.

Shit, Tony thought Roger's mic was open.

Then they both heard Jacobson's voice, "No unnecessary chit chat up there, you sounded like a couple women gossiping."

Both astronauts laughed.
