Jazmine sighed as she walked home that day. She had to get a sack to carry all the copper pieces she got. Was this what it was like to feel rich? She giggled to herself and tossed the large bag in her home, tucking it under the broken table and tossing a table clothe over it.
"That's some security system you got there,"
"Oh shut up," Jazmine hissed at the genie standing behind her.
"I'm just sayin…"
"I heard what you're saying and I don't care," She snipped, turning her nose up at him and flopping down on her "bed".
"Hey! How would you like a nice soft, feather mattress?" He offered, snapping his finger and making her lump of uncomfy pillows grow and expand into a wooden framed, feather mattress covered bed. Jazmine bounced lightly on the bed, shocked at what happened.
"Hey… this is nice…" she mused. Huey snapped his fingers again and it vanished, making her collapse on her old pile of pillows.
"Ya gotta wish for it,"
She turned her nose at him, "That's fine. My pillows are just fine!"
"Suit yourself…" He muttered. He snapped his finger and made himself his own bed and snuggled deep into it. He yawned loudly and shook some ache out of his joints, "Sleep tight!"
Jazmine bit her lip, glaring at the arrogant genie as if he were some sort of Hitler in disguise.
"You're terrible," She exclaimed, rising to her feet, "You're… mean spirited and just… just rude! You may not be a con artist like other genies but you're about as nice as a westerner!"
"You can wish for whatever you want! I like sleeping in beds," He said matter-of-factly, throwing himself back onto his pillow to shut his eyes. One eye popped open, "You're more than welcome to join me,"
"Drop dead,"
"Immortal,"
"Ugh!"
oOOoOOooOOoOOOoOOoOOooOoo
The genie woke up to the smell of something sizzling. When he rubbed his eyes open, he noticed Jazmine standing by some crappy looking stove, cooking what looked like eggs. He poofed the bed gone and hovered over to her.
"Morning," She said cheerfully, sliding an egg on a plate, "Hungry?"
"I… guess so," He said hesitantly, "What'd you do to it?"
"I just thought we got off to a bad start yesterday…" She explained simply. She held out her hand and smiled at him, "I'm Jazmine. What's your name? Do genies have names?"
Huey took her hand and shook it gently, "Yes we do- Mine's Huey,"
"Huey the genie. Hm. That's cute,"
"Cute?"
Jazmine started eating her breakfast, minding the hot juices that clung to the edge of her meal. Huey looked down at his, wondering about the means it took to make it. He always hated home cooking, mostly because no matter how much humans advanced, they never got healthier with the food was prepared.
"So how'd you make that lemon drink?" He tried to make conversation.
"My father invented it," Jazmine sighed, "It was very popular… until a genie cursed him with his presence. My father lost his fortune because of him,"
"Yeah… you said that before… but how? I mean… what'd he wish for to cause that?"
"I'm… not really sure," Jazmine admitted, "Daddy just always said genie magic shouldn't be trusted… no offense,"
"None taken," Huey said quickly, looking out the window, "You wanna sell juice today?"
"No," She confessed, "I wanna make a wish,"
"Issat so?" Huey said, getting up and pulling at his arms, "Well, dish it,"
She smiled at him, leaning up on her hands, "I wish… My house was bigger,"
"Damn it…" Huey cursed. He snapped his fingers and suddenly, the house began to grow and expand drastically. Eventually, it was the size of three mountains. Everything in there was massively huge- fit for a giant. Jazmine was the size of a door mouse compared to… everything else in her home.
"Wha… what'd you do!?" She shrieked. She looked around. It'd be a three day hike to her front door!
"I'm sorry!" Huey exclaimed, "But you HAVE to be more specific with your wishes! I can't control how the wish is interpreted! I thought you understood that!"
Jazmine cursed and folded her arms over her chest, "So I'm down one worthless wish?"
"Fraid so,"
"Fine!" She exclaimed. Serves her right for making such a selfish wish. She knew she was supposed to work for those things, "I wish that-"
Before she could finish, the house vanished and she was sitting in the middle of a pile of sand with Huey floating by her side. They looked around and saw the young prince standing where the door should have been. He was surrounded by a fleet of guards.
"I knew it!" Riley shouted, "Arrest the thief!"
"Thief?" Jazmine gasped, "Me? But I-"
"Hey! You cheater! You know the rules!" Huey shouted, glaring at the young prince who Jazmine suddenly realized beared a great resemblance to him, "You lost the lamp and she found it!"
"She shuoldn't be able to see it, anyway!"
"You know exactly why she can see it, Riley!" Huey shouted, "You can't arrest a sister!"
The guards grabbed hold of Jazmine and hauled her towards the prince.
"Hey! Alls fair in war, bro!" Riley snickered, "An' I dun wanna go back in that lamp!" Huey raised his hand, making Riley's eyes wide, "No! Don't you-"
SNAP! Poof!
When the dust cleared Riley was standing in the sand with his guards… Jazmine, The lamp and the genie were gone.
"Damnit…!" Riley cursed, "I wan e'rey body lookin' for dat bitch! NOW!"
OoOOoOOoOOoOoOOoOOoO
Jazmine opened her eyes in shock when she realized where she was. The middle of the desert. She looked at Huey with fury and shouted, "What the hell!?"
"You're welcome," Huey snipped at her.
"You wanna explain to me what happened?" Jazmine barked, "And why I shouldn't be able to see this lamp?" She lifted the item in question, glaring at the non chalant genie, "And how do you know the prince and what GAME is he cheating in?"
"That prince, or whatever you people call him, is my baby brother. And you can see the lamp… because you're a genie, too,"
"What!?"
OoOoOOOooOOoOOoOOoOOo
