Author's Note: Constructive criticism welcomed, particularly on characterization, though you can point out anything else that I did wrong. I allow anonymous reviews (reviews from people without accounts), so if you don't have an account, you can review my fanfics. Also, I just realized that Chester had already found out about Norm hurting Timmy in Godparent, so he shouldn't have discovered it again in this. However, Chester finding out is crucial to the plot of both of the fanfics. Did any of you notice this? For now, you should probably just assume that it didn't really sink in Godparent, and Norm assumed that Chester wouldn't find out again. If that explanation doesn't work for you, you are welcome to make up your own. If you do, you should tell me what it is, so I can decide what the "official" explanation for it will be.
Chapter 18: Paradise
Norm woke up. He didn't expect to see anything when he opened his eyes, so seeing past Arabia, WITH GENIES AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY was a big shock for him. Did the Darkness really look like that? Was the Darkness that awesome? Or that bright?
Nope, he concluded, this can't be the Darkness. This has to be Genie World.
He was confused by the notion, since the genie had said that the Darkness had destroyed Genie World. However, Norm could dismiss that easily. The genie could have been lying to him. Since when had he believed everything he was told?
He wondered why Chester had freaked so much about his hatred of Timmy when he was perfectly okay with it in Fairy Court. He also wondered why he hadn't remembered that. He supposed that the answer to his first question was that it hadn't sunk in then, and the Pixies were being such a big problem that anything bad he did was rendered moot. Then he concluded that his reason for forgetting was that not all his memories had came back at the same time.
Norm gazed around Genie World. Now that he was in it, he wanted to make the most of it. He didn't need to save Turner, did he?
Norm spotted a genie dame that looked slightly like Calais. He wondered if she was Calais' mom. She probably was.
If so, that meant his parents were in Genie World. Norm wondered if that meant what he thought it meant. Had they abandoned him on Earth while they led a luxurious life in Genie World?
Norm supposed that if they did, that only meant that they were just as untrustworthy as everyone else. Not that he had high hopes about them, but that still hurt.
Norm decided to discard his emotional turmoil, and just have loads of fun in Genie World.
He wondered what to do first, since Genie World had every awesome thing that he could imagine. He glanced around, and settled on the nightclub, until he recalled that the only genies around were the parents of his generation. Nope, he would not be going in the nightclub.
Norm then saw that Genie World had a go-kart place. He grinned. That would be great.
GONG!
Norm appeared at the go-kart place, in a go-kart. He groaned when he realized that he had no opponents. Go-karting didn't have the same thrill without them. Since he was a genie again, and his master hadn't gave him permission to do anything big, he supposed that he had to race without them. Which would make it a drive, not a race.
Norm groaned.
He supposed he would have to find something else to do.
He could look for Turner, like he was supposed to, since Turner might be in Genie World too, but he didn't want to. He knew that if he found Turner, he'd be able to return to Calais, and Chester, but he didn't want to lose this amazing chance to have fun in Genie World.
He floated up into the sky, and looked at Genie World from above. When he realized that it had a baseball stadium, he grinned. He would be so there!
Norm flew down to the baseball stadium, and alighted majestically in the best seat.
The Darkness noticed had the genie as soon as he entered, and supposed it had to trick him too. It was slow when the genie decided to go-kart race, causing the genie to abandon the endeavor. However, it knew had to trick the genie now, or everything could become really busted.
Norm sighed in relief when the players, and the other audience members appeared. He could finally have fun!
Genie World was paradise for Norm, and there was no way that he'd be leaving!
However, Norm recalled that he had came there in the first place to rescue Turner from the Darkness, so Chester would trust him again. He hoped Chester, and Calais were safe, and that the Eliminators hadn't got them.
