Part 5 2-15-12
The sun shined brightly on the snow-covered grounds of Pepper?s Community College. Shillan strolled closely to Nel, while they crossed the campus to the parking lot.
?Don?t you just love the snow master Nel?? Shillan asked cheerfully.
?I prefer the colors of fall, actually.? Nel replied.
?Ah, that is a beautiful time of year as well! Actually I don?t think there is anytime of year I don?t enjoy!? Shillan laughed.
There was a pause between the two as the trotted over the blacktop. Shillan was gazing around the campus, taking in the sights of the white earth and blue skies. Nel on the other hands was going over her predicament in her head.
?Shillan, why are you still hanging around? Shouldn?t you have gone back into your bottle or something??
Shillan laughed, and sped up to walk shoulder to shoulder with her master. ?That is a common misconception about genies. I believe I told you already however, although I have
granted your wish, I am still bound to you until it has been seen through to the end.? She explained.
?I don?t think I understand?? Nel murmured.
?Well?? Shillan began to explain as she waved her hands conjuring up her bottle Nel had acquired the night before. ?This bottle is NOT my home, it is merely a portal from which I can cross from the genie world into the human world!?
?mmhmm? Nel nodded listening intently.
?I was bound to this object many centuries ago like others of my kind. So when I human rubs its, they form a contract with me! I will grant them one wish, and be their guide until said wish is seen through to the end. However, should the human die or release me from the contract I can then return to the realm of the djinn!? She explained before flinging the bottle away in a puff of smoke.
The two stopped at Nels beat up old Ford, Shillan dashing to the passenger side.
?I see? But?? Nel began to speak.
?Yes master Nel, is something not clear?? Shillan interrupted as cheerful as ever.
?You said you were BOUND to the bottle. Does that mean you were forced into granting wishes?? Nel asked.
Shillan?s hair furrowed out and her face turned pale like her playful attitude was just sucked out of her. She cleared her throat and leaned against Nel?s car.
?Master Nel, I think this would be an excellent time for you to reduce your magical swelling!? The genies voice quivered.
Nel looked around, the parking lot seemed empty. She grinned, and nodded at Shillan allowing the blue haired girl to take a sign of relief. Nel took a step back and examined her car.
?I wish? My car was a new Jaguar Xj, with a kick ass Tron Bonne paint job!?
As soon as Nel had spoke her wish a stiff wind picked up, Nel watched in amazement as the wind seemed to blow her old car away like dust, in its place was her new Jag painted to look like Tron?s mech from Marvel Vs Capcom complete with a Bonne family skull as the hood ornament! Nel let out an excited squeal...
But her excitement turned to anger when she realized?
?uh, where are the keys??
It took 2 more wishes for Nel to get the car started. One for the keys and another for a full tank of gas but with a powerful roar the engine came to life. Nel was grinning ear to ear. She reached for the gear shift when she paused to open her jacket. Cupping each breast in her hands she examined them carefully.
?They are defiantly a bit smaller master Nel. But, you will need many more wishes to keep them in check.?
