"What does this mean?" Maybeck exclaimed excitedly, "Do we get three wishes?!"

"Under certain terms, yes. But technology, you only get one more" Genie explained.

"What do you mean? We only used one right?" Charlene asked curiously.

"Yes, you did. Another one in your party used one earlier, without knowing of course that it was actually possible" Genie said.

"Who was that?" Maybeck asked, suddenly annoyed that they only had one wish left.

Genie smiled, "Finn Whitman."

…..…..

"There's the cage!" Amanda pointed out ahead of them.

"Looks like someone's already in it…" Finn hesitated to continue forward.

Amanda gasped, "Willa?" she whispered before rushing towards the cage.

"Wait what?" Finn, suddenly aware, asked but quickly realized Amanda was no longer by his side.

"Did you say something Philby?" Willa asked, thinking she heard her name.

"Hmm? No honey I've been silent as a lamb" he grinned. His grin disappeared when he heard the sound of someone struggling, as if climbing. "Do you hear that Willa?" Philby asked, afraid to look over the edge to see if he was right or not. She nodded, suddenly scared that the OT's would actually do something with them.

Without much delay, their worries were set aside when they saw who had been the cause of the noise.

"AMANDA?!" Willa exclaimed, louder than she probably should have.

"Willa! Oh my goodness how are you?!"

"I'm fine how are you?!"

The girls continued this until Finn finally made an appearance and rush over to Philby, shook his hand and asked, "What's been going on? And sorry I didn't answer the phone right away" Finn blushed, remembering why he hadn't answered.

"It's ok" Philby shrugged and grinned, "but nothing has really been happening though. I honestly have no idea what's going on."

Finn was confused by this but realized it made sense. He knew right away why the OT's hadn't acted yet.

"Do you think they're waiting for you?" Philby asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah, I'm sure they are." Finn nodded, glancing at Amanda with a compassionate face, remembering his promise to her just minutes ago.

…..…..

"What'd Finn do this time?" Maybeck groaned.

"He made a wish bird brain" Genie repeated in his sarcastic tone.

"Well yes, but on what exactly? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh no problem at all" Genie exclaimed, "I believe he wished for a light of some sort."

"A light? You've got to be kidding me" Maybeck groaned again.

"He was in a dark tunnel and it slipped out, not really his fault but it still counts" Genie explained as he grabbed what appeared to be his 3 wishes rule book out of thin air.

"Alright alright, I get it" Maybeck backed off. "So what do we do now that we've found everybody?"

"Well, Master that would be up to you" Genie said, looking at Charlene.

Charlene, flabbergasted said "whha what? Me? Master?"

Genie flipped through his rule book and said in a high pitched voice "According to vol. 5 verse 2 paragraph 3 'The one who wishes is the new master until the 3 wishes are up'" he closed the book with a slam, causing Maybeck to jump.

"But what about Finn?" Charlene asked, just wanting to make sure.

"Well, I couldn't actually find him…" Genie said shyly, not wanting to admit it.

"Wait what do you mean you couldn't find him?" Maybeck asked, suddenly worried.

"Normally I'm transported to where the wish was made but I don't know what happened, but I couldn't find him, or at least my powers couldn't" Genie shrugged.

"That's weird…scary weird…that doesn't sit well with me" Charlene said, looking up at Maybeck, who nodded in agreement.

…..…..

Well this was an interesting chapter. I'm so desperate to finish this story but it keeps getting more detailed and I keep liking it but I can't find the time to dedicate myself to just sitting down and writing like crazy!

Once again, thanks for the patience ya'll!

It's getting good :)
