"Waitaminute, wait!" The genie barked, cutting her off again, "You don't seem to get it- I'M A GENIE! I can grant you ANY thing you want!"
She cocked her eyebrow at him and tilted her hips to the side and placed her hand firmly on it, "Right. You're just gonna help me out cos' you're such a good person. I said no thanks. I'm returning my wishes,"
"You can't return them!" He snapped, "Look, I've been waiting for over a hundred years to get outta that damn lamp! Now make some wishes, please!"
"Well, if I wish for those three wishes wont you have to just go back in the lamp?"
"That's classified," He said darkly, his eyes narrowing and his demeanor going back to hard. Jazmine moaned and gave him another annoyed face.
"The answer is no, I don't want anything,"
Huey looked around the place he was in, "What more could you want," was his sarcastic comment, making Jazmine fume.
"Okay! So it's not the nicest of places but ya know what? I work hard to stay alive and ya know what? I'm living just fine so kudos to me!" She spun on her heals to leave again, but he did his little poof away and then poof appear again.
"I can grant you anything!" He reminded her, she walked right pass him, but he stayed floating at her side, "Love, money, food, new clothes,"
Jazmine stopped in her tracks, looking at him through t he corner of her eye, "I don't need you. Just go back into your lamp or whatever,"
"I don't CAN'T go back into my lamp!" Huey barked, "Look, I really need you to grant you some wishes, please?"
"No!" Jazmine snapped. She was annoyed but was finally at her little cart that she sold her lemon drink from. She instantly started mixing it in the jug she always brought with her.
"What is this?" He asked curiously, poking at a jug full of Jazmine's lemon juice.
"It's something my father came up with," She said cleverly, "Made from fresh lemons and cane sugar,"
She saw the genie's nose crinkle and his mouth pierce in disgust, "And this… is how you make your living?"
"Hey," She snapped in, "Don't say it like that. Besides, I happen to really like the way it tastes,"
"Does anyone else?"
"They would…if someone would try it," Jazmine heaved a sigh and sat down on the large rock in the street. She sat there on really hot days and when she had lost all hopes for the rest of her day vending.
The genie shrugged his shoulders at her dispression and POOF he was gone. He reappeared infront of the make shift shop as an old blind man. His wide opened eyes were such a light blue, it looked a mere shade away from white. His withered face smiled as he dropped a coin on the top of the cart and he gulped down a whole glass of lemonade.
Jazmine's eyes widened at this spectacle.
"Oh my word!" The disguised genie alarmed, "I… I can see again!" He tossed down his cane and blink, his pale eyes growing more color until they were rich brown. A few people gasped, one couldn't fake THAT. A crowd gathered as they watched him take another sip of the juice and slowly, his wrinkles faded and he stood up straight, "It's a miracle! A miracle I say! This… this elixir… Is magical!"
Like a boom of sonic, Jazmine's humble cart was bombarded by thirsty people, all trying to get some lemonade. She was flabbergasted at this, and tried to work quickly enough so everyone got something to drink.
Another poof sound echoed in her ear. The Genie had shrunk to door mouse size and was currenly located right under her neck. She glanced down at him, and noticed a smug look.
"Have I proven my worth?"
"I didn't wish for anything,"
"That was just a sample," He said with a smirk, "Now just imagine what could be done with a WISH!"
"Okay fine," She huffed, her hands full with getting so many people their drinks, "I'll… make three wishes. But they'll be on MY time, not yours,"
"Fair enough,"
Poof.
