Suddenly the cave was engulfed in darkness and then all of a sudden a spotlight on was Hunk, who was no in human form. The bottom half of his body had black pants with grey shoes on his feet.
"Master I don't think you quite realize what you've got here!
So why don't you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the possibilities"
Hunk smiled. "Can you give me a "bada-yada-yada?"
Lance out of confusion repeated "bada-yada-yada"
Hunk nodded and continued "Good! Scotty-wop"
Lance once again repeated "Scotty-wop"
Hunk threw his hands up "Everybody! Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!"
Voices repeated what Hunk said and Lance glanced around trying to find where the voices were coming from. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"
There was silence for a moment before Hunk sang once more "Hit it!"
The cave lit up and Hunk began to dance around.
"Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales"
Thieves surrounded Lance, each with a sword in hand. Suddenly Hunk popped out of his vest startling him Hunk created huge arms and beat up each one of the thieves.
"But, master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails"
Hunk created a boxing ring and Hunk was massaging Lance's shoulders as if he were getting ready for a fight.
"You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp"
Then suddenly Hunk was a set of fireworks which exploded.
"You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I'll say"
Hunk put himself in the lamp, grabbed Lance's hand and rubbed the lamp as he popped back out as his genie form.
"Mr. Lance sir
What will your pleasure be?"
Hunk created a table and sat Lance down with a huge menu as he turned into a waiter.
"Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me"
Hunk snapped his fingers and a silver platter appeared on the table. The lid lifted off the platter and n the plate sat a cooked chicken, with a spin the chicken had Hunk's head on it, but still the chicken's legs.
"Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd"
Hunk changed back to genie form and his ear enlarged and he leaned in towards Lance.
"Come on, whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me"
Suddenly there were four hunks, then the next thing Lance knew he was sitting in a chair. The tablecloth that was previously on the table now around his neck, shaving cream on his chin and each Hunk holding a different grooming tool.
"Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service"
Hunk pulled the cloth and then the four Hunk's turned into one and Lance was sitting on the ground. With a puff of smoke, a throne appeared followed by Pidge and Blue suddenly waving huge feathers as fans and the room was filled with gold.
"You're the boss, the king, the shah"
Hunk snapped his fingers and food appeared on the ground in front of the throne. Hunk picked up the hat off his head and shook it a few times before hundreds of baklava pieces overfilled the room.
"Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish
How about a little more baklava?"
Suddenly Lance was standing on a plate of food which sat on top of a tall column which carved at the letter 'A'
"Have some of column A"
Lance fell and jumped onto another rising column which carved out the letter 'B'
"Try all of column B"
Lance fell off the second column, but luckily Hunk created a pillow and Lance landed safely, Hunk as a giant genie now opened his mouth his tongue spilling out as a carpet and out walked another Hunk dressed in a magician's outfit this time. 'How many versions of himself can this guy make'
"I'm in the mood to help you, dude
You ain't never had a friend like me"
"Wah-ah-ah, mo-my
Wah-ah-ah, no-no
Wah-ah-ah, my my my"
Hunk appeared in front of Lance as a normal size. Only this time, Hunk removed his head, made duplicates of himself and juggled the heads around.
"Can your friends do this?"
Hunk tossed the heads to Lance who juggled them a few times before tossing one head back to Hunk, the rest disappeared as the head landed back in its place.
"Can your friends do that?"
Hunk pulled out a black top hat and disappeared within it. Only to jump out a few moments later as a pink bunny with long ears.
"Can your friends pull this out their little hat?"
Hunk suddenly became a dragon and blew fire. The four sparks becoming four girls. Three he recognized as Nyma, Shay, and Florona from the harem. The fourth seemed to resemble a female Keith. From the black hair, to the fair pale skin, to the beautiful violet eyes.
"Can your friends go poof?
Hey, looky here"
The girls crowded around him and danced around him. Then as Hunk snapped his fingers the girls were gone with puffs of smoke. Hunk grabbed both sides of his face and pulled his body being torn in two like a sheet of paper.
"Can your friends go "Abracadabra," let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear"
Hunk reappeared as a small genie in front of Lance who jumped in surprise. Hunk's jaw dropped low and his eyes bugged out Hunk jumped into Lance's hands and used his hands as a diving board and dived into a puddle of water below.
"So don't you sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midnight prayers"
Hunk reappeared a giant contract with the words 'One Certified Genie' written on top, He wrapped Lance up in the contract and then spun his out as Lance tried to catch his balance,
"You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d'affaires"
Hunk re-appeared beside Lance a pulled a list out of his ear and using the list as a towel he rubbed his behind and then snapped it like a whip at Lance changing the scene.
"I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what's your wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so
And oh!"
The harem girls appeared beside Lance, two on each side. Three girls were zapped away, the only girl remaining was the Keith look alike. She smirked and pulled the veil covering her mouth up and both leaned in for a kiss. However, the girl disappeared and Lance ended up kissing Hunk's cheek instead as he appeared huge.
"Mister Lance sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob"
Hunk smiled and with a snap of his fingers, four gold towers appeared.
"Can your friends do this?"
Hunk snapped his finger four times and with each snap, a tower disappeared and a harem girl was revealed once more. First Nyma, then Shay, then Florona, then the Keith look alike.
"No really, can they? You're welcome," Hunk said with a smile. "Get him ladies." Upon Hunks' word, the girls surrounded Lance and started to dance around him. Then as if they practiced a routine before, the girls started a dance number as Hunk made another appearance. The girls disappeared as Hunk began to sing once more, a golden microphone in his hand.
"I would like to bring the house down a little bit
Sing a few old classics
Couple of favourites of mine
I'll get back to you in a second
Thank you!"
Lance smiled as a new tempo beat began to play. A crowd somewhere began to clap and cheer as Hunk sang.
"Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Beauty and theā¦
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collections complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the genie who has everything?
Ba-de-ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba
Ba-de-ba-ba-ba-ba"
Hunk handed the microphone to Lance who tossed it to the side having not known what to do with it.
"Can your friends do this?"
Hunk tapped his head to the left, and Lance heard a noise which he took as Hunk cracking his neck.
"Can your friends do that?"
However, as Hunk did the same to the right side. He wasn't sure if that was neck cracking or not.
"Can your friends do tap?"
Lance turned and saw several dancers both male and female surrounding them. Both dressed in decorated outfits of gold and white. The girls had gold heels with tapping platforms, the males had similar tap shoes but they wore boots. Hunk joined the group in tap dancing.
"Can you tap dance?" Hunk asked stopping for a moment. Lance shook his head.
"No," Hunk snapped his fingers with a smile. A pair of tap shoes appeared on Lance's bare feet.
"You can now," Lance cried out in surprise as he started to join the group in the tap number.
Hunk snapped his fingers and suddenly he and Lance were on top of a golden staircase. The dancers on either side in equal numbers, each holding a golden bar and dancing to another number. While Lance and Hunk were descending the stairs, arms linked and walked down in a can-can motion.
"Mister Lance sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob"
Hunk zapped his finger and four golden elephants appeared and danced with a partner. Then he zapped again and four dancing camels appeared. With the surrounding gold, Blue tried to pile and much as she could into a pile for herself.
"You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never... had a... friend... like me
You ain't never had a friend like me!"
Hunk created a cyclone and swept everything he created back up as he finished his song. As the song ended Hunk sat down an applause sign flashing above his head.
