Chapter 12: To Rub Or Not To Rub?

"To shine a new light on the conversation, have you decided whether or not we should rub the lamp?" Cloe spoke up after the very long awkward silence between the three while they had eaten.

"No." Rachael answered, "And I don't think we should."

"Are you sure?" Ryan asked, "Because I really would want to meet a genie. That is, if they exist."

"Well, I'm not sure." Rachael thought about it for a bit, "I just don't want any trouble."

"Just rub the lamp." Cloe urged.

"Besides," Ryan began, "we'll never learn more about or family connections if we don't."

"Oh…fine." Rachael caved, "I'll do it."

"Yes!" Ryan and Cloe cheered.

"But…" Rachael stopped them, "we'll have to wait until Monday."

"Why?" Cloe and Ryan chorused sadly.

"My parents will be gone Monday." Rachael explained, "Which means we'll be safer doing this in case a genie really does pop out of the lamp."

"All right." Cloe agreed a bit upset.

"So, what do you girls want to do now?" Ryan asked looking at them.

(A/N) Is anyone still reading this fic? I know…this chapter is not even worth it. Truth is…I don't know why it's in here. But, it's important…to an extent. Please bare with me…I am trying and I promise you that I will write longer chapters, even if it kills me (which, hopefully it won't)! R&R!
