2. Prologue

Prologue

My name is Ariella Storm Rose. I am a genie. I know when people think of genies they grant wishes, blah, blah, blah. I do more than just that. I spend thousands of years in my lamp (which is getting boring and isolating). I've been waiting for my freedom for the longest time. And no one has came to rescue me just yet. Right now, me and my lamp are sitting on a shelf in an antique store in Maryland, waiting for someone to purchase the lamp and free me from my permanent bondage from this lamp. I don't mind sleeping in it, I just like to get out and have my freedom.

Finally luck came when a woman entered the antique store. She had brown hair and blue eyes, standing about five foot 3. I'm five foot eight, us genies are pretty tall. As I watched the woman browse the store, her attention caught on the lamp. Please, please, please, buy the lamp! I prayed. And to my delight, the woman picked up the lamp. "YES!" I cheered. The woman approached the counter. "Yes, I want to buy this. Is this for sale?" the woman asked the store clerk. The clerk frowned. "I'm afraid this lamp isn't for sale, miss." said the clerk. "You jerk! Let her by the lamp!" I shouted from inside the lamp.

"Please sir, this is a beautiful piece of work, I must have it. I will give you twenty thousand for this lamp." said the woman. The clerk's eyebrows raised when he heard that number. "Okay. I will sell it to you." smiled the clerk. "Thank you." said the woman, as she written a check giving it to the clerk. "Have a nice day!" said the clerk. "You too!" said the woman, taking the lamp and leaving the store. It didn't take us long that we arrived at her apartment. Not bad a place, although I couldn't see it. Now I decided to come up with a plan of getting the woman's attention so she can get me out of the lamp.

"Oh, they should've cleaned this lamp before selling it to me!" said the woman. She's going to do it, she's going to rub the lamp! I thought with excitement. The woman went to get a cloth and picked up the lamp and started cleaning and rubbing it on. Now I came out of the lamp, in full force, surprising and shocking the woman. In fact, it scared her. "Woa, Woa, Woa, woman, calm down. There is no need for you to get all scared." I said standing in front of her, adjusting my red hair, tucked up in a pony tail. "You're-you're a genie aren't you?!" exclaimed the woman.

"Of course I'm a genie! What do you a expect? A wizard?" I said with a joke.

The woman laughed. "My name is DJ Elizabeth Chambers. Everyone just calls me DJ. My full name is Debra Judith. My parents gave me a really long name." said the woman. "My name is Ariella, genie of the lamp. Thank you for freeing me." I smiled at the woman. "Wow. I thought my life was over, but now this-my life is just beginning!" said the woman. "What are you talking about DJ?" I asked the woman, who is her early twenties. "Ariella, a lot of things happened to me recently. My mother, father, two brothers and a sister had recently died in a car accident, just this past month, I'm having a hard time paying for the funeral, I'm coming close of losing my home. On top of the that, I got fired today from job as administrative assistant." said DJ.

I sat down next to DJ. "You poor thing. You really went through a lot. What are you going to do?" asked Arielle. "I don't know. I'm thinking of living in my RV. I have a RV that I just paid off." said DJ. "That sounds like fun! And we can go traveling it. I've looked in magazines about RV's, they seem interesting. What's this?" I asked, picking up a book from DJ's living room table. "Oh that's my favorite book, The Hobbit! I love reading the book!" smiled DJ. I smiled. I've read the book before myself, and I loved it.

"This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!" smiled DJ. I grinned. Then she looked at me. "How about staying with me, and we'll travel in my RV?" suggested DJ. I smiled. "I like that." I replied. I was surprised she didn't ask me about the granting wishes thing yet. It would've been nice. You see, I'm the type of genie if a person asks for a wish, and I grant it, it restores my energy and magic, and right now I felt exhausted. "When are we going to travel?" I asked DJ. "Well, I already got everything packed and loaded up, we could start leaving right away." DJ replied. I smiled.

I followed DJ out to her RV, and that is when our adventures begin.
