Leah the Half-Genie:

The following day, Leah and Zac arrived in Zahramay Falls that morning, to Shimmer and Shine's place for breakfast...

Leah: (eating her food) Wow, these cinnamon blueberry waffles you made are delicious, Shine!

Shine: Well, when you have a mother who's the best cook in Genieworld, you learn to pick up some lessons from her.

Zac: (holding a bottle of maple syrup) Can I have another stack?

Shimmer: (giggles) Another stack?! Zac, I hope you leave some waffles for Zeta and her family.

Leah: Speaking of which, did Zeta and Marlin really bring the Davidsons here to see Zahramay Falls for the first time yesterday?!

Shine: Yep, and they'll be here soon!

A knocking sound was heard on the doors...

Shimmer: Apparently, they came sooner that we thought.

Leah then decided to walk over to the doors to let them in, and after checking to see who was there, she opened the doors, to see Zeta, Marlin, Calady, and Mary, but not William...

Leah: (happy, but also confused) Hi, everyone. It's nice to see you all, but where's William?

Calady: Oh, sorry, Leah, but he has work to do in his real estate business online. Even though he can't go out in the real world, he still has to do a job to continue making money. But we Did promise to tell him what your news is!

Shine: We're glad you came over! How about you guys have some breakfast first, then we'll find out what Leah wanted to tell us.

Zeta, with Marlin and his family, then had breakfast with everyone else, before they all gathered 'round to listen to what Leah had to say...

Leah: Okay, well, I've been thinking about this for a few months already, especially since the COVID pandemic is in effect. Since I once had magic powers as a genie for a day, I've wondered how I be as a half-genie in Zahramay Falls. (happily) So, I like to ask you, Shimmer and Shine, my genies divine, I like to have magical powers as well!

Everyone stared at Leah for a few minutes, with surprised looks...

Shine: Leah... (excited) that is the greatest news you've ever had!

Leah: Wait, you really like it?

Zac: Yeah, I would like to have a human friend who's half-genie!

Zeta: (holds her left hand up) Wait just a minute! I know Leah wants to have magic powers, but isn't there a rule for humans to get genie powers?

Leah: Zeta, remember when I was genie for a day, and had magic powers then, especially when you tried to get me to grant wishes for you to take over Zahramay Falls?

Shimmer: You had wished to be a genie for a day back then, Leah. While I think that you being a half-genie here in Zahramay Falls is a good idea, I'm wondering if Princess Samira will allow it.

Shine: I think she'll be happy that a human wants to have genie powers!

The genies and humans then went to Samira's palace to tell her about Leah's new idea. The genie princess didn't know what to think about it...

Princess Samira: (surprised) Well, Leah, I'm happy that you want to be a half-genie. But the problem is that this idea is complicated...

Leah: What do you mean?

Shine: Are there any rules that says humans can't have magical powers?

Samira: It's not that, Shine. It's just... I need a second powerful genie with me to help me grant that kind of wish.

Shimmer: Well, Empress Caliana is your mentor, and you're like a daughter to her. Why don't we go ask her to help you out?

Samira: (sadly) Except she's on vacation in Rainbow Zahramay. It will be a week before she returns home.

Zac: (a little sad himself) So, does this mean Leah will have to wait a whole week before she becomes a half-genie?

Samira: Not necessarily. There is one other genie who could help me grant that wish.

Zeta: Who is that, Samira?

Samira: That would be the Wishy Washy Genie.

Leah: We know him! We met him when we had to help Zac remove an accidental wish he made to stay in Zahramay Falls forever.

Zac: I remember that! I had panicked because there's no mustard here, so we had to get him to reverse the wish so I could go home!

Shine: Let me make a warning: He was very wishy washy the first time we met him.

Shimmer: (happy) But we've helped him make decisions for himself, and he successfully wished away Zac's accidental wish! (worried) But I'm wonder if he improved with his wish magic since then...

Leah: Well, let's find out... because I wish we were all at the Wishy Washy Genie's house right now!

Shine: Boom Zahramay! First wish of the day! Shimmer and Shine, wish granted divine!

When Shine clapped her hands, everyone had transported to the Wishy Washy Genie's house. Samira went to the door where the W.W. Genie opened his door, and looked confused...

Wishy Washy Genie: Oh... have I seen some of you before?

Kaz: Yes, we've met you when Zac tried to reverse that wish.

Zac: Thanks again. I don't know what I'd do if I have to live without mustard.

W.W. Genie remembers the events, and the people who were with him that day...

W.W. Genie: (stammers, and realizes) Oh, now I remember. Zac, you tried to find me, so you could wish away one of your wishes, am I correct?

Leah: (laughs, with Zac nodding) Yep, that's right. And I am here to ask you to see if you could help Princess Samira grant a special wish!

W.W. Genie: (to Samira) What wish did you have in mind?

Samira: Well... Leah here would like to have magical powers like her genies.

W.W. Genie: (surprised) Wow... has any human ever wished for that?

Samira: Nope, Leah here is the very first one.

Shimmer: Leah has had experience with using magic before.

Zeta: Yes, I ended up being the one to find the lamp with her in it. She also knew what I really wanted, so she found a loophole to make sure I didn't get it. I was still an evil sorceress at that time.

Shine: She's been everywhere in Zahramay Falls with us! In fact, the 6 years we knew her, I feel like she's an resident in the genie world!

Zac: I think she's capable of using her magic for good!

The W.W. Genie and Samira listened to Leah's friends backing her up, and then they looked at each other, and talked. After some discussion, the genie princess looked at Leah, and motioned for her to come over...

Samira: Leah, are you ready for this?

Leah nodded, as Samira and the W.W. Genie brought out their staffs...

Samira: Leah, it is with great pleasure that we...

W.W. Genie: (continues) will grant your wish to be a half-genie...

Samira: If you promise to use your magic powers to do good things.

Leah: I promise, Samira.

Samira: Well, with that said...

Samira/W.W. Genie: This special wish is granted! Leah, here are your new magic powers!

The two taller genies swung their staffs, and a magical gust of wind blew onto Leah, which gave her magical powers! Leah then lifted herself up in the air, and flew toward the genie sky, laughing, until...

Samira: Leah, we have one more thing to do first.

Leah: (comes back down) What would that be, Samira?

Samira: One special wish, to see if your magic powers work properly. I think Zac, your best friend, should be the one to try it out.

Leah: (shows a small smile) Okay, Zac, what do you want to wish for!

Zac: Leah, I wish for... the biggest tube of mustard!

Leah: Boom Zahramay! Special wish of the day! Leah will grant, a wish with this chant!

Leah clapped her hands, and a huge bottle of mustard appeared next to Zac.

Zac: (after he sees the bottle of mustard, amazed) Thank you, Leah.

Leah: It's a half genie's honor, Zac.

W.W. Genie: It looks like Leah has granted that wish perfectly.

Samira: Leah, you will be a half-genie when you visit Zahramay Falls, but you'll be all-human when you return back home. I hope you use those powers to do good.

Leah: (smiles) Doing good is what me and my friends love to do.

Samira: (smiles back) Then we hope you do well being a half-genie, Leah.

The genie princess and the W.W. Genie disappeared using their staffs, and everyone was now looking at the new Leah Thompson, now a half-genie...

Calady: (cheerful) So, Leah, now that you're now half a half-genie, it's so sweet that you'll use your magic to do good deeds!

Mary: (smiles) Maybe you could be my genie!

Shimmer: Leah, are you ready to make Zahramay Falls a more magical place with us?!

Leah flies up in the air, and says, in excitement, 'Yes, I think everyone in Zahramay Falls will be happy to have a new half-genie on board!'

Everyone went to the Marketplace to show off Leah's new powers, which impressed other genies. At the end of the day, Zeta and her family said goodbye to their genie friends, and went home. This was just the start of a new life with Leah as a half-genie...
