Since what had happened the previous story, after falling in love with a human, stopping an evil magician from destroying Genieworld, and helping save Zahramay Falls, Zeta's life has changed for the better. Not only did she become friends with Princess Samira again, but she helps out other genies by making her own potions she made to the marketplace. In addition, she and Nazboo, her pet dragon, hang out more frequently with Shimmer, Shine, Leah, Kaz, and Zac. They go on picnics and attend parties together, and even had sleepovers at Shimmer and Shine's palace. (This time, with Zeta not trying to steal any gems) The sorceress also had made more of the magical necklaces that Nazboo had, for the pets of Shimmer, Shine, Leah, and Princess Samira. The fact is, Zeta, while still having her snarky attitude on occasion, also became a more generous person after visiting the real world. This continues the story...
In Zahramay Falls, Zeta's Lair:
Zeta was currently working on a potion that she hopes the other genies in the marketplace think could be useful to them.
Zeta: Check this out, Nazboo! I put a dab of dandelion flower slime, and a side of lily mist, to create a great potion! But I need to test it out first, before I give it to the marketplace.
Zeta then chanted a spell: 'Powerful flowers combine together, hope this becomes something better!'
A powerful light emerges from the cauldron, and a light mixture of lilies and dandelions shined from it. Zeta had created another successful potion!
Zeta: (laughs) Brilliant! This is a new potion that I can give!
The sorceress then magically put the bottled potion safely with the others, that she intends to give to the marketplace. Then she walked over to a small table, that has a picture of her and Samira together, and the writing quill when they both were genies-in-training together. However, Zeta saw another picture she had put there recently: of her and her boyfriend, Marlin St. Clair.
Nazboo: Tummy rub!
Zeta went over to Nazboo, and rubbed his stomach, like she often had done. Zeta had just thought of something...
Zeta: (happy) You know, Nazboo, since I met Marlin, I'm actually glad I saw there's other things to be happy about other than just taking over all of Genieworld.
('Give a Little Bit' by Supertramp plays)
Zeta looks back fondly on the few months she spent with Marlin in the real world. They were both laughing and having fun. They were going to a drive through Florida.
They're also attended dance parties together. They went on many dates to the movies, restaurants, parks, and a museum.
(Song ends)
Suddenly, Zeta saw a crystal gem that was on her shelf began blinking. She checked it out, and found out that Marlin needed her! Zeta started a chant... 'Let's go, let's go.
Take me where my boyfriend is!' With a flash, Zeta disappeared from her lair.
Marlin's House, Beverly Hills, Florida, September 29, 2018:
Zeta appeared in Marlin's house, where her boyfriend was delighted to see her...
Zeta: (cheerful) Marlin, what's going on today?
Before Marlin could answer, a news story about hurricanes came on. Zeta was puzzled by the mention...
Zeta: Marlin, what's a 'hurricane'?
Marlin: They're strong winds, with a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. We're still in this year's hurricane season. Anyway, I called you here
because I'm moving on October 1st. We're going to be going on a road trip.
Zeta: But where would we live?
Marlin: I have family that live out west. Once a week, I talk with a relative on the phone that I'm close with.
Zeta: (sad) I'm still thinking about what happened to my family.
Marlin: I'm sure you'll find them one day, Zeta.
Zeta: Anyway, when are we leaving?
Marlin: October 1st is on Monday. Tomorrow, I have to pack my stuff, so we'll be ready by Monday.
Zeta was thinking, that, it could be fun to see more of the world that Marlin lived in.
Marlin: Right now, for dinner, I thought we'd have hamburgers and french fries.
Zeta: I'd like that.
Marlin and Zeta then went to McDonald's, where they each had a Quarter Pounder hamburger, large fries, a vanilla ice crean cone, and a large Sprite. After that, they went back to Marlin's house, where they both were preparing to turn in for the night.
Marlin: Good night, Zeta. Be ready on Monday, okay?
Zeta: (laughs) I will. Good night, Marlin.
Zeta then vanished into the crystal bottle... and back in her lair. She pondered at the thought of seeing the world, because she only had been to Florida...
Zeta: Wow, Nazboo, Marlin and I are going on a road trip out of Florida.
Nazboo: (excited) Yippie!
Zeta: (worried) I wonder though, if I'll be comfortable anywhere else besides Florida?
The sorceress then sat in her rocking chair, with Nazboo climbing up on her lap. Zeta patted her dragon softly on his head, while thinking about the experiences of road traveling...
