Mel's pov

"Mel! Slow down! My stubby little legs aren't capable of taking large steps!"Lynn says. I stop running and allow her to catch up. She bends and rests her hands on her knees and wheezes. "You god damn monster"she breathes and I laugh. "Cmon, what's the use of having legs if you don't use them?"I ask. "Shut up you fucking fitness junkie"she said falling into the sand.

I chuckle as I look down at her, then to her right. "Ooo, look"I say dusting off what looked like a large bubble. I picked it up from the sand. "Oh wow, a ball that most likely has been inside someone"Lynn said. "But its so pretty..look at the colors"I say. "If your keeping that damn thing, you better wash it before placing it in your body"she said as she got up.

I laughed and pushed her. "You're right, its dirty, I'll soak it in warm water"I shrug. "Warm water won't kill herpes"she said.

I arrive back at the house, still staring at the strange glass ball. It was quite large, about the size of a softball. And the inside was filled with what looked like a little galaxy, and it was beautiful. I walk into my kitchen and fill the sink with warm water and soap, then I gently drop the ball into the water.

I walk over to the nicknack shelf I had of interesting things I found on the beach. "Where to place a soft ball sized anal bead"I think out loud. I huff and shrug, I'll just sleep on it.

I wake up in the middle of the night to a loud sound. I couldn't identify what it was exactly, only that it sounded upset. I get out of bed and walk out of my room to the kitchen. I look at the sink containing the water. I reach into it and pull out the now shiny ball. I smile as I examine it a bit more. There was strange writing covered in soap. I rub my thumb over it a few times.

Suddenly the ball began to shake. I panic and drop it. It starts to rumble on the floor as I back away. Then grey smoke appears from it. Suddenly I see a shirtless man rise from the smoke and stretch, groaning loudly. He scratches the back of his neck and looks around. "Who rubbed me"he said before turning around. "Oh hello"he smiles. He was hearing golden jewelry, chains that go from his neck to his waist.

And his right nipple was pierced.  He had floppy brown hair and hazel eyes, and the body of a god. "Oh my god"I say quietly. "Jesus! What year is it? These curtains are hideous"he said. I stare at him in awe. "What? Is it the clothes? Or do you actually not understand what's happening here"he said. I shake my head. "You rubbed the orb. I appeared, like magically, you've seen Aladdin"he said. "S-so, your a genie?"I ask.

"Mmm, kind of, well, there's a little grey area between genie and wizard, and that's what I am. I'm a genie, but since you set me free I'm supposed to give you wishes"he shrugged. "So..I get..3..wishes?"I asked. "Oh no, you get an unlimited amount of wishes. I'm like a fairy god parent but I'm cramed into a glass orb"he says. "You're telling me, I have unlimited wishes? Anything I want?"I asked. He nods.

"Um. A few rules though. I can make someone fall in love with you, but usually it ends up in fatal attraction, I refuse to bring anyone back from the dead, out of the picture. And you have to Cary the orb with you at all times"he counts his fingers. "I also, can't make you conceive, usually doesn't work out to well for people, you're like what, 14? Shouldn't even matter to you"he shrugged. "I'm 22 first of all"I say. "So what'll it be? Your first wish? Money?"he pulls a wad of money from behind his back.

"No, for you it looks more like love"he pulls a beating heart from behind his back. "Ew! What? No!"I said. "Worth a shot"he threw the heart behind his shoulder and it disappeared in a puff of purple smoke. "Um, can you change first?"I asked. He looks down.

"You don't like my ceremonial cloths?"he asked. "No um, its just kind of distracting"I say signaling to his body. "Right right, how's this"he spins around really fast and stops dressed as Michael Jackson in thriller. "Is it still this century?"he asked.

"Um, no"I say. He spins around again and stops dressed as johnny depp in Crybaby. "Huh?"he asks. "Hella cute but nah"I say. He spins around a last time and is dressed R from warm bodies. "Perfect, just make it clean"I say. The dirt and grime disappear.

"Perfect"
