“And since then, I was stuck inside the lamp. It’s a nice place with oriental decorations, but it’s a gilded cage, nonetheless. All I want now is to become human again. So, please, use your last wish to make me human again!” finished Martha her tale.

“Wow, I wi… I’d like to see that place!” said Jennifer, nearly stating her last wish by accident. For a second, she frowned. She had to be more careful, or she could end up trapped in that Lamp. Jennifer forced herself to smile again. “Is it possible for me to see your place without wasting my last wish on it?” she asked.

“I could do that…” said Martha, “but what do I get out of it? If I show you my place, will you use your last wish to make me human again? You’ll have no loss, as I’ll grant you the wish to see the inside of my lamp for free. Is it a deal?”

“If you take me inside the lamp, you will not turn me into another genie? And you will also bring me back after we finished the visit?” asked Jennifer with a suspicious tone.

“I promise I won’t transform you. You see, I still need you as my mistress to set me free with your last wish. Thus I’ll bring you back, no matter what.”

“Fine, let’s go then!” said Jennifer.

When Martha blinked, Jennifer got a strange feeling in her feet, which slowly moved upwards. When she looked down, she saw, that the lower part of her body was already dissolving into a mist of the same blue colour as her skirt. The mist moved towards the lamp and was finally sucked in. The more her body was changed into smoke, the more Jennifer got the feeling, that she was turned inside out and mixed up. Jennifer screamed.
Also Martha changed into smoke, but unlike Jennifer, she had a broad smile on her face. Soon, she would be human again. Finally, both girls disappeared into the lamp.

Inside the Lamp, Martha and Jennifer materialised again. Jennifer was still wearing her human clothes. Relived she took a deep breath. Then she looked around. It was better than she had imagined: The room was lit up by a warm, red light that emanated from the walls. The walls looked, as if liquid lava was sloshing behind it. The furniture of the room mostly consisted of silk cushions in different, reddish colours. Martha opened her arms and let herself fall on the cushions. “Come on, Jennifer, you should try it too.”

Jennifer turned a bit red then she kneeled down on the cushions and sat down. Shyly, she wrapped her arms around her knees. “So, here’s where you live?” she asked.

“If I’m not summoned by my master, yes.”

“It’s really beautiful in here. Like a dream!” said Jennifer. “But it must be very boring!”

“You can say that! Alas, as a genie, I don’t have much choice.”

“True!” smirked Jennifer. “Was the room already that way, when you became a genie, Martha?”

“In general, yes! Recently, I started to redecorate it a bit. Since I have to spend most of my time in here.”

“I see!” answered Jennifer. A bead of sweat runs down her temple. Jennifer loosened the collar of her blouse a bit. “It’s hot in here.” she said.

“I guess, that’s because the lamp comes from a hot country. These harem clothes might look silly, but inside here, I won’t wear anything else. They make the climate bearable.” explained Martha.

Do you have something to eat or to drink?”

“I don’t need to eat or drink. Are you thirsty?” Martha replied. Jennifer nodded.
“I can make something for you.” Martha answered. She wanted Jennifer to feel good as long as her mistress was inside the lamp.

Martha blinked and a round table with a crystal carafe full of water and two golden cups appeared. Martha filled one cup and passed it to Jennifer. Jennifer drank eagerly.
“I didn’t know, you can use your magic for yourself.” Jennifer said.

Martha explained: “It works inside, but my power is really limited. I can conjure up some small Items for me. But I can’t use my magic on the same scale, as when I’m granting a wish. And of course, I can’t blink myself out of the lamp.”

“Of course not. You are a slave and bound to the lamp.” said Jennifer without any tactfulness.

“Thanks for reminding me!” mumbled Martha hardly audible. There was something about Jennifer, Martha didn’t like. Jennifer seemed to be a nice person at first glance, but Martha felt, that there was something else. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to bring Jennifer insider the lamp? “Do you want to return now, mistress? So you can make your last wish?” she asked.

“Yes, I would, genie!” Jennifer answered, again with that snooty tone. With the blink of two eyes, both returned to Jennifer’s room.

Back outside, Martha addressed Jennifer once more: “I’ve held my part of the bargain, mistress. You are back outside the lamp, all safe and sound. Now it’s your turn!”

“Alright! Here’s my last wish.” Jennifer said. She had a sarcastic smile on her face.
