"I wish Hope Mikaelson never came to this school," Lizzie screamed in an outburst after not being picked up by her dad, who was researching with Hope instead.

suddenly, a blue woman appeared.
"Where did you come from?" Lizzie asked with a confused look.
"First things first," the stranger told her, "I'm-"
"Blue, Y-You're so blue," lizzie interrupted her.
"My name is Ablah," she introduced herself.

"And you're obviously a monster," lizzie interrupted her once again.
"Would a monster grant your wish?" Ablah asked her with a smirk.

"Holy crap. You're a freaking genie," Lizzie stated as her eyes widen.
Ablah scoffed, "Hmm. Jinni.
And your wish is my command."

wish 1
"Elizabeth, Rise and shine,"lizzie shoots up as her father shakes her awake.
"What, you taking the day off, Lizzie B?" alaric questioned.
Lizzie's eyes widen in confusion, "Dad, what time is it? I had the weirdest dre- What happened to your face?" lizzie suddenly notices the beard on her fathers face.

alaric chuckles, "Quit stalling. It's time for fight training."

lizzie rolls her eyes in frustration, "Pass. I'm not really in the mood to watch Hope and Alaia be a ninjas today, Dad."

"that isn't funny Elizabeth. you know Alaia hasn't talked to anyone since she got here, and who?" alaric asked her with the same confused look.
"alaia, really? I guess i just forgot. must be the exhaustion, i'll get up now," lizzie told him with a smirk.

lizzie walked towards the school entrance after training with her soster and her dad. she exhaled and entered, seeing the school was quite empty. she walked up to her sister and pulled her aside.
"why isn't it more crowded, are classes cancelled or something?" she questioned, gesturing in the semi-empty halls.

"come on lizzie, the school has some popularity because of our hybrid. but you know she doesn't leave her room so we are still trying to recruit more people," josie hissed, examining what's wrong with her sister.

"genie, this place sucks," lizzie states as she tries to summon the blue woman.
"Genie," she speaks again.
"Yeah?" genie appears as she takes lizzie temporarily out of the wish-world.

"This place sucks," lizzie states again with a disgusted look on her face.
"Hope's dad wrote my mom a big check to fund the school when it opened and alaia never got out of her shell without Hope, so no Hope, no funding, no popularity, no fun," the Jinni explained to the blonde.

"Fix it," lizzie says matter-of-factly.
"Oh, is that to be your next wish? or perhaps try one without the both of them?" the jinni asks with a smile.

"Yes, that will be my Wai-" lizzie interrups herself, before continuing, "I know how this goes, I waste my first wish by not being specific enough.
I waste my second one trying to clean up my first, only to make things worse, and then my third gets wasted by wishing that I had never had any wishes in the first place.
I won't fall for it, Genie," lizzie says with a proud smile.

Ablah clears her throat, "it's Jinni."
"That's what I said," lizzie shrugs, "I'll beat you at your own game.
Make the best of this rat trap.
Send me back in."
