The whole day was spent with everyone showing Marlin around the marketplace, meeting other genies who tended the stores there, potion shop, bakery, where you could get magic dust, and more!
Zeta, the genies, and the two human kids convinced Marlin to try a shivercone, after they all got theirs. When he tasted one, he was ecstatic.
Marlin: Wow! This tastes just like ice cream back home!
They stopped by the music shop, where they saw Gita, the music genie, working on a new magic flute...
Gita: Hello, everyone! Who's your new friend?
Zeta: This is my boyfriend, Marlin.
Gita: Hello, Marlin. Zeta has told me about you.
Marlin: Well, I do like music.
Gita: Have you ever played a musical instrument before?
Marlin: Yes. I have played a flute before, but I wasn't very good at it.
Gita: Why don't you try playing this flute? (Gives her magic flute to Marlin)
Marlin looks over to Zeta, who gives him a smile, and a nod. Marlin put his mouth on the flute, blew in it, and the music not only sounded incredible, but it showed
different-colored notes as he was playing it!
Gita: That was brilliant, Marlin! You should try to practice the flute more often.
Marlin: You think I could get better at it?
Gita: I know you can!
Shine: Well, we better get going. Nice seeing you, Gita.
Gita: Come back anytime!
Everyone then walked away from the music shop, and walked to the magic carpet vendor area. Dalia, the magic carpet genie, noticed them.
Dalia: Hello, Shimmer, Shine, it seems there's a new face in Zahramay Falls!
Shimmer: Yes, Dalia. This is Marlin, Zeta's boyfriend.
Dalia: Well, hello, my new visitor. I like to know if you're interested in learning to fly a magic carpet?
Marlin: (hesitant) Well, Dalia, I just got here. I don't think I'm ready to fly a magic carpet just yet.
Dalia: I understand. Come back anytime if you ever want to learn. I certainly taught Shimmer a lot on what she needs to learn about carpets. (she gives Shimmer a wink,
in which case Shimmer winked back at Dalia)
After leaving the magic carpet vendor, Marlin asked, 'Well, where are we going now?' Zeta had just remembered something...
Zeta: Wait, you have to meet Princess Samira! She's the ruler of Zahramay Falls!
Kaz: And the mentor to us genies-in-training.
Zac: Let's head over there!
Everyone got on their carpets, and dragon, then they all flew off to Princess Samira's palace. When they reached it, they knocked on Samira's door, and were welcomed inside...
Samira: Marlin! It's nice to see you here in Zahramay Falls.
Marlin: Well, it's nice to see you again, Miss Samira.
Samira: I'd like to look at your outfit.
Samira looked around at the sorcerer outfit Zeta had given Marlin. After a short time of checking it, Samira had stated, 'Zeta, this is a zahra-mazing outfit you gave Marlin! I'd like to add something as well (moves her staff toward Marlin, and used it on him, with some magic floating above him.
Samira: Marlin, whenever you visit Zahramay Falls, you have on this sorcerer outfit to blend in here, when you're home, you'll change back to your regular outfit.
Marlin: Well, thanks very much, Miss Samira. As soon as I get settled in, I'll come back to visit again.
Zeta: (hopeful) Wait, you really mean that?
Marlin: Believe it or not, Zeta, I was afraid of coming here at first, but after seeing how cool this place is, not to mention I can have many adventures here for free, rather than pay a lot of money for a day at a theme park, I'm thinking of coming back to see more of this place!
Zeta: (laughs) There's a lot more to see than just the marketplace!
Leah agreed, 'I think we're all going to have a lot more fun here!
Everyone walked out of Samira's palace, and flew back to the marketplace.
