The Genie of the Blue Dress
"Pardon me, sir. How much for this pretty blue dress?"
"Take it for free. I never want to see it ever again."
"Are you sure? Because I have a nice five dollar bill in my-"
"TAKE IT AND GET OUT OF MY SHOP! NOW!"
Elizabeth hurried out of the shop with the blue dress in hand. She wondered why the strange man wanted to get rid of that dress so badly, but she hardly gave it a thought as she stood in front of her large mirror in her bedroom. As she tried on the blue dress, she adjusted her grey glasses so they were perfectly on her nose, and pushed her long blond hair behind her and put pretty pink barrettes in her hair. The dress looked perfect, she decided.
She hummed as she straightened out her dress. It really was a beauty, that blue dress.
Now, what released the genie could have been because she was smoothing the dress repeatedly. Perhaps it was due to the fact of the tune she hummed. Maybe the dress did it by itself. Whatever the reason, the genie came out and hovered in front of Elizabeth. Being shocked, she screamed.
"Hush, child. There is nothing to fear."
"What ARE you?'
"I am the genie of the dress you are wearing. Soon, I will disappear, but my magic will remain with you. Whatever you wish will come true!" And with that, the genie disappeared.
Elizabeth was quiet, but she remembered that she had wishing magic. The idea sounded ridiculous from the inside out. Still, she had to try something.
"I wish for a perfect strawberry."
Less than a moment after the words left her lips, a juicy red strawberry appeared in her hand. Shocked, Elizabeth ate it.
"This is DELICIOUS!!!"
There was so much fun things she could do with her new power, she realized. She wished she never had to clean her room ever again, but that wasn't enough. She wished she never had to do any chores again. Since that didn't do much, considering she didn't have chores to do at that moment, she got bored. She knew if she took the dress off, the power would be gone forever, so she would never take it off. Never.
Her wishes got more and more hardcore. She wished for a mansion, a puppy, one million dollars, and servants and chefs and butlers and maids and so much more. Having to go to school, she remembered she didn't exactly have any friends. So, she wished for the most meanest and popular girl in the fourth grade, Suzie McMackle, to turn into a rock. Also, if anyone was mean to her at all during the school day, she turned them into a rock. By the time the school bell rang marking the end of the day, there were only 7 kids left in the fourth grade who weren't rocks!
A month passed, and then another. The world was Elizabeth's toy. She could do anything to anybody, and it would turn out just fine and dandy for Elizabeth.
The genie returned.
"What do you want?" scoffed Elizabeth. She had really turned into a brat!
"I gave you the power of wishes so you could use it wisely, to help others, not to make them suffer!"
"Suck it, you illiterate genie! I can do what I want, no consequences come my way! SUCK. ON. IT!!!"
"Here, Elizabeth, take this necklace!" The genie than thrust a beautiful necklace on Elizabeth's neck. With that, she disappeared.
"WhatEVER!" said Elizabeth. She didn't care about what the genie had said. And, she loved the gift.
Suddenly, Elizabeth noticed that the necklace was getting...tighter? "No way, it's just my imagination!" she sputtered. However, she wasn't so sure. It was getting harder and harder for her to breath, much less talk. She tried to wish of the necklace to go away, but she couldn't talk! Not enough oxygen was getting to her brain, so she couldn't think up a wish, either.
Soon, there was nothing more left of Elizabeth. Not even a wish.
