The next day, Zeta, riding on Nazboo, went to the marketplace, and headed to the potions store to give the successful potions she made to the salesman.
Genie Salesman: Wow, Zeta, these are some great potions you made.
Zeta: (chuckles) Yes, I've been doing well, since I've decided to help out other genies with them.
Meanwhile, Shimmer, Shine, and Leah were also in the marketplace, getting flying flour to make flying flour cookies.
Shimmer: This flying flour will help make our best tasting batch of cookies yet!
Shine: Mmm, I can't wait to eat them!
Leah: These cookies are certainly going to taste good.
As they walked around the corner, they saw a familiar sorceress leaving the potion store...
Shimmer/Shine/Leah: (happily) Zeta!
Zeta heard someone call out her name, and turned to see the three girls waving hello to her. The sorceress came over and embraced them in a group hug.
Zeta: Hello, there. What are you wonderful genies, and Leah, doing in the marketplace this time of day?
Leah: We're picking up flying flour to bake cookies.
Shimmer: Would you and Nazboo like to come some and have some?
Nazboo: (overheard the conversation, and flew up) Cookies!
Zeta: (laughing) I guess were coming over to have cookies. Besides, I don't have any other plans to do anyway.
Shine: Wonderful. Let's go home and bake them right now!
Shimmer, Shine, and Leah, on a magic carpet, and Zeta, on Nazboo, flew over to Shimmer and Shine's palace. When they got there, Nazboo had shrunk down to small-size. The genie's pets came over to them. Zeta, at first, was afraid of them, due to them being big-size. However, thanks to the magical necklaces, they shrunk down to the same size as Nazboo. Zeta cautiously approached the animals. She petted Nahal on top of her head.
Zeta: (sweetly) Nazboo, while we're baking cookies, you can play with the other pets until they're ready to eat.
Nazboo: (running around) Play, play, play! (Tala, Nahal, and Parisa run around with him around the yard)
Shimmer, Shine, Leah, and Zeta went inside the palace, and headed into the kitchen to make flying cookies. Everyone was wearing cooking aprons.
Shimmer: I got the recipe out!
Shine: All together, let's make some flying flour cookies!
(The Logical Song by Supertramp plays)
Baking montage. Leah rolls the dough, Zeta sprinkles chocolate chips on them, Shine puts the cookie dough with chocolate chips into the oven. Shimmer checks the oven and turns it on. All four wait eagerly for the cookies to bake. When they are ready, they take them out of the oven to cool off.
(Song ends)
When the cookies finished cooling off, Shimmer yelled to the pets outside: 'The cookies are all ready to eat!' The pets quickly ran inside the palace, and everyone had fun catching and eating the cookies. Zeta herself had never imagined how much fun flying cookies would be. While everyone was sipping hot chocolate, Zeta took this time to talk to Leah about travel experience...
Zeta: Leah, in your world, have you ever traveled?
Leah: Of course I have. My parents and I take a trip out of town during the summer.
Zeta: Marlin's moving out west tomorrow to be with his family.
Shine: So, you both will be leaving Florida?
Zeta: Afraid so.
Leah: Zeta, moving away from somewhere you lived in is scary at first, but once you got to see different kinds of scenery on the road, and then get to know some of Marlin's other family members, you may actually get to like the new place.
Zeta thought hard about what Leah had said.
Zeta: You think I could like living somewhere different?
Shimmer: I believe you will! Shine and I slept over at Leah's house in the real world.
Leah: And I slept over in Zahramay Falls with Shimmer and Shine plenty of times! I think you'll be happy to see more of the world, Zeta.
Zeta: For Marlin, I think I'll try it.
Shine: That's the spirit!
Zeta: I better get home so I can be prepared for it. (calls out to Nazboo) Nazboo! It's time to go home!
Nazboo heard Zeta, and rushed inside. Zeta and Nazboo said goodbye to Shimmer, Shine, and Leah before heading home. At the lair, the sorceress had spent the rest of the day resting quietly, and made dinner for her and Nazboo, before going to bed in preparation for the big day tomorrow. Zeta was wearing her pink pajamas and purple slippers, while Nazboo was wearing his cookie-pictured pajamas.
Zeta: (yawning) Nazboo, I need to get my rest. Me and Marlin and going on a road trip, and I'd like to look good for him. (turns off her light lamp) Good night, Nazboo.
Nazboo: Night, Zeta!
The sorceress and dragon slept peacefully. While Zeta was nervous, she was also happy about the day she would have tomorrow.
