Sora and Gigi Grant Part 2

Gigi waits in front of the entrance to the Boovie theater. The ghoul has ditched her usual genie pants in favor for a pink skirt. Howleen had insisted on the skirt as this would be the genie's first date.

A date.

She had never thought of dating anyone before. Yeah, there was the occasional Founder who flirted with the ghoul. But for most of them in the end was mostly about the wishes. There was some who were actually angry with her for not allowing one more wish and one time, a Founder threw her lantern into a dumpster. It took centuries to get the smell out.

Speaking of wishes.

"Man," Manny Taur who along with his ghoulfriend Iris were a few monsters behind Gigi lets out a huff. "I wish we were in front of the line."

Gigi couldn't help but smile at that. Before, she would have been forced to grant that wish and the minotaur would happily be first in line to see the boovie.

She then turns to the source of some crying. There is a goblin woman trying to pick up the mess of what's left of an ice cream cone and standing next to her is her crying daughter.

The woman uses the last of her napkins from her purse, only to find that it's not enough. "I wish this mess would clean itself up."

With a small smile, Gigi nods her head, and the goblin woman is amazed at seeing some paper towels and floor cleaner appear out of nowhere and soon leaves the floor sparkling before vanishing.

The daughter calms down and shouts, "I wish I had more ice cream!" and just like that, a brand new cone materializes in her hands.

Soon, the mother and daughter walk off.

Gigi smiles at herself. Little wishes like that the genie doesn't mind granting. Especially if they're to help someone.

"Sorry!" Sora come running up her carrying a tray with a large bucket of popcorn and two drinks. "There were some Heartless across town and I had to take care of them."

The genie smiles. "That's alright. You still have your duties. You have to perform them."

The boy sighs, "I know. Just didn't want to be late. I did promise to treat you."

The ghoul starts blushing as she avoids eye contact. "And, and I thank you for that. So, what boovie are we watching?"

"Um, not sure," the boy gives her his goofy smile. "This was kinda a spur of the moment. Which one would you like to see."

Gigi glances at several posters.

There's a romance one about the forbidden relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. She figured Sora may not be into that one too much. Besides, one of her ghoulfriends is a vampire dating a werewolf. These days, there's not much forbidden about that kind of romance.

The next poster depicts a masked mad man that's hunting defenseless teenage monsters at a summer camp. Gigi once heard from Howleen that a horror boovie can be a good excuse to cuddle with a date. That made her blush as the genie is unsure if she's ready for that kind of affection yet. The ghoul is uneasy with horror boovies anyway.

The last one depicts some sort of action film featuring cars starring the well-known actor, Vamp Die-sel. That might be more to her date's liking.

"How about this one?" Gigi points at the poster.

Sora walks up to the poster. "Furious Speed? Sure! I've heard that the reviews are great," he says before shrugging. "That is to assume that those reviewers weren't paid off to make the boovie sound better than it actually is."

"Oh, I hate that!" the ghoul and normie laugh.

.oOo.

So, far the boovie had been pretty enjoyable. There was only one problem.

"He ain't even that good of an actor!" a certain werecat shouts. Many of the present monsters voice their displeasure at the cat ghoul.

"Toralei," Sora sighs as turns to face the werecat sitting right behind him. "Some of us are actually trying to watch the boovie."

"Whatever!" she leans back in her seat and takes a sip out of her drink, only to find a lack of something. "Hey, Gigi!" Toralei leans forward. "I'm out of soda. I wish for a refill."

Gigi just simply stares at the ghoul as she slowly places a piece of popcorn in her mouth.

That's when Heath announces his presence. "Yeah. She doesn't really do that anymore," he is then pulled back into his seat by Abbey.

"Do not disturb film like baby yak," the yeti scolds.

"Sorry."

"Fine!" Toralei falls back into her seat with arms crossed and stares at the screen. "I still wish this boovie was more interesting."

Gigi gains a mischievous smirk. "As you wish," she crosses her arms and nods.

.oOo.

Toralei suddenly finds herself in the middle of a gunfight. She flinches and ducks from the sound of gunshots.

A bald muscular vampire falls next to her, scaring the poor ghoul.

"Meow!"

The man picks himself up as he grabs the werecat by the arm. "Come on!" with a limp the man leads the ghoul to nearby car. "Get in!" he shoves her into the driver seat.

"Wait! But I—" was all Toralei could get out as the door is shut on her. The man gets in the passenger side and that's when she got a good look at the man. "You're Vamp Die-sel!"

"I not able to drive now!" Fearless while clutching his arm. "It's your job to take the wheel.

"But—"

"Go!"

At the command, Toralei slams a foot on the pedal and it wasn't long before she spots the approaching canyon.

"I can't do this!" the werecat shouts. "I don't even have a license!"

"You don't need a license," Die-sel gives her a reassuring look. "When you have family!"

As the vehicle is mid-jump over the canyon, Toralei screams, "I wish I was out of this crazy boovie!"

.oOo.

Toralei was still screaming before she realized that she is back in her seat at the theater. She stops and soon registers the laughter from everyone.

"Was that interesting enough for you?" Gigi asks. "If not, I could send you back in if you wish?"

"No!" the werecat shouts as her claws dig into the armrests of her seat. "No more wishes!" as the ghoul tries to slow her fast pacing heart, she looks up to see that Vamp Die-sel and his sidekick made the jump. "I'm never going to make fun of his acting again."

.oOo.

Sora and Gigi are now leaving the pizza parlor, laughing.

"I had fun tonight, Sora," the genie takes the normie's hand.

"Me too," he smiles. "My favorite was when Toralei tried making that jump."

The ghoul laughs. "Yeah. You didn't think that was too far?"

"Nah!" the boy waves that off. "It'll teach her to be careful with making wishes."

"Most definitely," she smiles and leans into him as they continued to walk down the street.

After a while, Sora says, "I wish we could to this again."

Gigi smiles as she pulls her hand away and crosses her arms. "As you—" just before nodding her head, the ghoul feels a pair of hands on her shoulders.

"There's some wishes that don't need magic to be granted," the normie smiles at her. "How about tomorrow after school we head over to the Coffin Shop? We can figure out what we can do after that."

The genie stares at him for a moment in disbelief. No one has ever outright denied a wish. "I'd love that," the ghoul smiles as she takes the boy's hand once again.

End

NOTE: Furious Speed is supposed to be a spoof on Fast & Furious. Vamp Die-sel is the Monster Equivalent of Vin Diesel. Shout out to TheBeatles211 for the name as I originally was using Bruce Fearless for Bruce Willis because I couldn't think of a pun for Diesel. I'm ashamed that I didn't come up with it my self as it's simple and well fitting for Monster high.
