It was Friday afternoon at NASA. Tony was enjoying a quiet moment in his office.
Jeannie appeared. "Hi, Master!" she said, and she hugged and kissed him. She wore her usual costume.
"Hi, Jeannie."
"Are we still on for the weekend at Miami Beach?"
"We sure are."
"How do you like this dress?"
She blinked and changed into a short black dress.
"That's really cute! You can wear it for dinner on Saturday night."
"Yes, Master!"
Suddenly, someone started to enter the office.
"Jeannie!"
"Oh, yes!" She disappeared.
It was Dr. Bellows. "Hi, Major Nelson."
"Hi, sir."
"I'm afraid I have some bad news for you."
"You do?"
"There is flight training, this weekend at the North Pole. This has just come up. You are to leave at 1900 hours."
He stared at him. Finally, he shook his head. "No."
This shocked Dr. Bellows. "No?"
"I was on flight training last weekend, remember? Jeannie wants to go to Miami Beach, and I also want to do that. Dr. Bellows, you can do whatever you want with me, but I'm refusing! I'm sorry, sir."
Dr. Bellows looked at him. Finally, he nodded. "OK. I understand."
"You do, sir?"
"Yes. I'll ask Major Healey to do this instead. You and your wife have a nice time in Miami Beach."
"Thank you, sir."
"No problem." He left.
Jeannie popped up again. "Oh, Master, I'm so proud of you!"
She gave him a big hug and kiss.
"You saw the whole thing, Jeannie?"
"Yes, Master. You really stood up to him!"
"Yes, I guess I did! Thank you, Jeannie!"
And then, he had a good look at her; her black dress was soaked!
"You're all wet, Jeannie!"
She looked at herself. "Yes, I am! I was in your coffee cup."
"My coffee cup? How'd you end up there?"
"It was the quickest place I could blink to!"
"I hope it wasn't too hot!"
"Oh, no! It felt like a warm bath!"
"Well, dry off, and we'll be leaving soon."
"Yes, Master!"
She blinked herself dry. They hugged and kissed again, and she disappeared.
They had a wonderful weekend in Miami Beach!
