Wishful Thinking/See If The Girl Is Alright
From Create Your Own Story
"Are you alright?" you ask the girl.
She gives you a weak smile and says yes. You hold the pendant, still wrapped around the girl's neck, in your hand. "What's so important about this pendant?" you wonder out loud.
"Oh, its the source of my power." the girl offers.
"Power?"
"Yes, I'm a genie and that is where my power originates, that ape over there is working for a crime boss who wanted to use me to beat out his competitors. You see I used to be a slave to him but I managed to escape a few days ago, now I'm on the run."
It seemed like an interesting story, yet not very convincing, "So, if you have all this power, why don't you just magic them all away and stuff."
"Well, unfortunately I can't wish anything for myself, it's the irony of having all this power."
"I'm still not convinced... genie huh?"
"It's true, I'll prove it, take the pendant and make a wish." she encouraged, throwing the pendant over your neck.
"Alright," you say, you think for a moment, looking at the scenery, "Well, ok, I'll wish for us to be somewhere else."
...nothing.
"Well, that proves it doesn't it?" you remark.
The girl has a sour look on her face, "You have to make it a formal wish, by stating, I wish for us to be someplace else, and I think you'd be smart not to make such a general wish, you'd end up in a sewer something."
"Ok, I wish we were at my house."
The next thing you notice is the chimney... on your roof. "What the?!"
"I told you, you have to be specific..." the genie trailed off as there was a giant *WHUMP* nearby. You both peer over the roof and see the thug you have previously taken care of, still unconscious, face first in your mother's rose bushes.
"Oh, come on, this is such a pain, how would anyone get anything that they wanted? I wish my wishes could be made through my thoughts, that way it would come out exactly as I want them to."
"Done." the genie girl smiled.
