In Louisiana, at the rest stop there, Marlin had woken up, and was just about to call Zeta, until he remembered thart last night, she had told him that she wanted to spend some time back home, and would see him that afternoon. With that in mind, Marlin drove out of the rest stop, and turned on the radio, to the song 'Take the Long Way Home' by Supertramp, as he continued to drive on the freeway.

In Zahramay Falls...

Shimmer, Shine, and Leah were doing some shopping in the marketplace, when they heard a familiar voice calling them...

Zeta: Did I miss anything important when I was gone?
Shimmer/Shine/Leah: Zeta!

The three girls ran up to the sorceress, (who was back to wearing her regular sorceress attire) and were eager to know how she and Marlin were currently doing on the road.

Zeta: We're doing okay, thank you. However, I requested to him that I stay in Zahramay Falls until this afternoon because... I wanted to surprise him with something important.
Leah: (excited) Wow, what would that be?

Zeta then whispered to the girls what surprise she was planning for Marlin. Needless to say, the girls were ecstatic...

Shimmer: Oh, my, genie!
Shine: Zahara-zlam!
Leah: Zeta, that's zahra-mazing! But I wonder if Princess Samira will be okay with it?
Zeta: Why don't we go ask her right now?
Leah: Good idea.

Nazboo came only to the group, with a squeaky toy he had gotten. He squeaked the toy, and it made a squeaky noise.

Zeta: Okay, I guess now we can go.
Leah: Perfect. (to Shimmer and Shine) I wish we were all at Princess Samira palace right now!
Shimmer: Boom Zahramay! First wish of the day! Shimmer and Shine, wish granted, divine!

With a clap, everyone appeared at Princess Samira's palace. Shine knocked on the door, which opened immediately. Roya, Princess Samira's pet peacock, came in the main room, prancing with Samira right behind her.

Samira: Zeta! Girls! How are you doing today?
Leah: Well, Princess Samira, we're doing just fine.
Shimmer: But I think Zeta has something important to ask you. It's a really great suggestion!

Samira then turned to Zeta, and listened to what the sorceress wanted to say...

Zeta: Well, Samira, it's kind of a big suggestion, but during a road trip that Marlin and I are taking right now, I've considered bringing him with me to visit Zahramay Falls, to see where I live, around the marketplace, and so on. I feel really bad that he has to sleep at these places called 'rest stops' in his car around the country, so I thought, that maybe for one day, he could come here, provided that I would use a potion to change his attire so that he could blend in with everyone. Do I have your permission to allow him to come visit Zahramay Falls?

Samira, after hearing Zeta, let out a few tears of happiness, and said, 'Zeta, that's a wonderful thing I heard from you. Of course I'll be willing to allow Marlin to come here! (now in a serious tone) However, humans are not normally allowed in Zahramay Falls, as I gave Leah and Zac genie-styled clothes when they first came here. I would like Marlin to come to my palace, so I can see if the outfit you gave him is acceptable. Is that okay?'

Before Zeta could respond, Shine said, 'It's a deal, Princess Samira!'

Everyone then left the palace as Samira waved goodbye to them. When they got outside, Zeta was so filled with happiness she could burst!

Leah: Wow, Zeta. Your boyfriend is going to come to Zahramay Falls! (thinks for a moment) When exactly would he be coming?
Zeta: (stammers) Well, I'll have to talk to him about it, but... hopefully the day after tomorrow?
Shimmer: That's perfect! I can show him different types of glitter!
Shine: And show him what shiver-cones are!
Leah: I think Marlin will have a lot in common with me and Zac!
Zeta: Fantastic! I'll bring him here the next time I see you all!

Zeta climbed up on Nazboo, and waved goodbye to the girls as Nazboo flew off, and when back to her lair, as she was waiting for Marlin to call her again.
