A teary-eyed Candace walked out of Moondollars with her head hung low, carrying her belongings in a box.  She made it about a hundred yards down the sidewalk when Rachel suddenly appeared in front of her.

"What the..." a surprised Candace said, "how... how did you get here so---"

"Candace, let me expalin something to you" the young genie interrupted, "I never meant to abandon you in the park like that.  You see, the reason I wasn't there was because I'm really a ge---"

Rachel's own speech was interruped by Gary running down the sidewalk towards the two women.  "Candace, hey Candace, wait!" he shouted.

The petite redhead turned around to face the young man.  "What is it?" she angrily muttered.

"I just finished explaining the whole situation to your manager" Gary said while trying to catch his breath, "and he agreed that this wasn't your fault and he apologized and said you can have your job back!"

Candace's eyes went wide as she heard the news.  "You... you got my job back for me?"  Gary nodded his head yes.  "Oh, thank you so much!" the redhead yelled out as she threw her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Ummm, you're welcome" a surprised Gary stammered out, "your manager said you can come back and finish your shift."

A now-smiling Candace released her grip on Gary and looked into his eyes.  "I can't believe you would do that for me... you're like... my hero!"

"Oh c'mon now" Gary explained, "I'm not a hero, I just wanted to set---"  The young man wasn't able to finish his sentence because Candace decided to reach up and plant a big kiss on his lips to show appreciation for what he did for her.

"Well, I think you're a hero" the petite redhead said with a smile, "how about I treat you to a big latte?"  With that said, Candace took Gary by the hand as they walked back to the coffeeshop, leaving Rachel standing on the sidewalk, wondering what just happened.

"Uhhh, Candace?" the confused young genie quietly said as she saw Gary and the redhead walk hand-in-hand down the sidewalk.  She wanted to say more but all of a sudden she felt her hair being tugged and jerked backwards.  Oh no, she thought as she felt herself being forced backwards.  Almost immediately, Rachel realized that her body was being funneled back into her bottle.

Squish and squeeze she went back into her vessel until she landed on the bottle floor with a thud. The young genie stood up, put her hands on her hips and spoke.  "Okay, now what is it?"

"This is about your new master" the voice of the bottle replied.

"What about him?" Rachel curtly replied, "you don't like him because he's a guy?"

"On the contrary" responded the bottle, "I admire this Gary very much."

"Well, right now that makes ONE of us" the genie said while gritting her teeth, "he stole Candace right from under me!"  Rachel snapped her fingers and made a pillow appear at her feet, which she immediately kicked into the side of her bottle.  "Ooohhh, I could kill him right now!"

"But you can't" instructed the bottle, "genies are forbidden to bring harm to their masters."

The genie let out a grunt before responding.  "I wasn't really gonna kill him" she explained, "it was just a figure of speech."  Rachel sat back down on the bottle floor, crossed her arms and began to sulk.  "So when are you gonna let me out of here again?"

"That decision is no longer up to me, Rachel.  Now that you have a master, he will be the one who decides when to release you again.  I have transported us back into his apartment; it is now up to him."

"Awww gee, wonderful" the genie muttered sarcastically.

A few hours went by when all of a sudden, Rachel heard the famailiar loud 'fooomp' noise, which indicated that someone has removed the stopper from her bottle.  Her body began to tingle and transform itself into lavender-colored smoke which began to filter itself out of the bottle's neck.  Seconds later the smoke re-transformed itself back into the beautiful blonde genie.

Rachel opened her eyes to see a startled Candace inside Gary's apartment.  The petite redhead blinked her eyes a few times before responding.

"Holy crap, Gary... you weren't kidding.  She really IS a genie!"

Rachel turned around to see a smiling Gary holding her heart-shaped bottle in one hand and the stopper in the other.  "What did I tell you?" he said while he looked at his genie.
