This story is a fan's view of an old TV show.  Having grown up with shows like Bewitched and The Beverly Hillbillies it should come as no surprise that this is based on an idea I saw once on I Dream Of Jeanie.  And knowing me I just had to add a bit of Disney's Aladdin in there too :) One day in about the middle of May two girls, Nicole and Brianna were walking along the shoreline of the lake that they both lived by.  It was like any other spring day, they were talking and laughing and sharing their innermost secrets.

"I soooo wish I was in your class," Nicole said for about the billionth time that day.

"Yea and I know why too!" Brianna replied, "you just wanna be with Devon!"

Nicole or Nicky as she was most often called, blushed.  She had a major crush on a guy in Brianna's class for the longest time .   This year the age difference between the two left Devon behind in Junior High and Nicole in high school.

"Ja wanna trade places with me tomorrow?" Brianna joked, "we're doing poetry in English." She made a face expressing her dislike of poetry.

"K! Fine with me! I like that stuff!" Nicky said tripping over a rock that was sticking out of the sand. "Stupid rock!" she said kicking the hard object.

There was a large rumbleing sound comeing from the sand.  Nicky realized that what she had tripped over wasn't exactly a rock but a  magic desk lamp.

"WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER?!?!" asked a voice coming from the lamp.

"Lier," another voice said, "he wasn't sleeping!" Smoke swelled out from the lamp and two figures appeared.

"It was her!" Brianna accused pointing at Nicole.

As the smoke cleared, the figures became more recognizeable.  One stood with his legs apart, arms crossed over his chest and a lamp shade on his head.  He had a wierd expression of both power and some undiscribable.... funniness, on his face.  He was dressed in blue baggy genie pants and pointy shoes. The other, much taller with blond hair, was fanning away smoke with one hand, holding a fire extinguisher in the other.

"Hey Bri, mext time let ME cook!" the blond one said still fanning away the smoke.

Nick, the blond one was also wearing green geenie pants and pointy shoes.

"Um?" Nicole started.  The two funny looking geenies got back to buisness.

"Who dares to rub the lamp?" Brian asked trying to remain serious, the took the lamp shade off his head.  Nick fought hard to contain his laughter.

"That would be me," Nicole smiled.  Nick let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay then I'm Nick and I'll be you're geenie," he shook her hand, "and what's you're name?"

"Nicole," she smiled, "so what do you guys do?"

"Grant wishes and at the moment you've got three." Brian said holding up three fingers.

"Can I wish for more?" Nicole asked smiling at Brianna who also saw the benifits of having two good looking geenies around for a long period of time.

"Brian," Nick asked, "can she do that?"

"We're not supposed to but who's going to stop us?" Brian said, "okay, but only if you share the wishes with you're lovely friend here, what's you're name?"

"Brianna," she giggled.

"Okay," Nicole said, "I wish that both of us could have enough wishes to last a lifetime!"

"Wish granted!" Nick said, "but be careful what you wish for!"
 

* Nicole's house *
"Back to what I was saying," Nicole said on the phone to Brianna, "I wish I could be in you're class."

"I wish you could switch places with me," Brianna said on the other end of the line, "it would be so cool being in high school."

The magic desk lamp started to rattle and suddenly Nicole found herself in Brianna's room.

"Brianna, you still there?" Nicole asked into the phone, her voice sounded different.

"Yea I think so," Brianna answered, but it wasn't her woice on the the phone, it ws Nicole's.

"Hey Brianna," Brian said entering the room, "you've got a really cool house."

"I'm not Brianna," Nicole answered, "I'm Nicole!"

"Funny," Brian said taking the hand held mirror off Brianna's dresser.  He handed it to Nicole.

"mmm," Nicole answered Brianna, "Brian's acting strange too!" She took the mirror from Brian and looked into it.  "OMIGOD!" she yelled, "I'm.... you!"

"I'm you too!" Brianna exclaimed when she saw her reflection.

"Send Nick over here he's my geenie," Nicole requested.

"Ok send Brian over here then."

In a cloud of steam Nick appeared beside Nicole on the bed, he started to rub her shoulders and she gave him a funny look.

"Don't look at me!" he defended, "you to were the one's who wished it not me!"

"Looks like I'm gonna be in you're class afterall," Nicole said into the phone, "yup okay then bye!" She hung up the phone.

"So who's this Devon guy?" Nick asked poking fun at Nicky.

"A guy that I really like," she replied only to see a disappointed look appear on his face, "I'm sorry, but you just gotta help me."

"Ok," Nick agreed reluctanly.  She hugged him happily.  Hmm, he thought, I could get used to this!

"This is so cool," Nick said on her way to the junior High with Nick.

"If you say so," Nick replied.  He was completely invisible to everyone but her.  He held her hand tightly as the went up the path.

"I've got to find out today how he feels about me," she said explaining her situation to her invisible friend.

"Okay that shouldn't be too hard concidering you're not yourself today."

Nicole laughed and entered the building.  She got her books and stuff from Brianna's locker and went to the first class.  For the majority of the day she didn't get anywhere with Devon because he was sitting across the room.  Nick kept her amused though, by making faces and doing things to innocent people.  When she had to be serious he sat beside her on an invisible chair and tried to shower her with kisses.

"Stupid body," Nicole muttered switching her pen from her left hand to her right, "I forgot, I'm right handed now."

"Finally after much anticipation, the bell riang for the last period of the day.  Nicky said in Brianna's seat directly beside Devon..

"Just ask him," Nick encouraged, "or you'll be miserable for the rest of you're life and i don't wanna put up with that."

"Dev," Nicky started interrupting what he was telling her.

"What?"

"Do you like Nicole?" she asked.

"Nicole?" he asked, "as in Nicky Nicole?"

"Yea."

Devon turned red, Nicole smiled, "Yea," he said, "do you think that she would go out with me?"

"Yup," she replied and leaned closer to him, "can you keep a secret?"

Devon nodded.  Nick stoold on the table waving his arms around. "Don't tell him about me!!" he shouted and Nicole shook her head.

"I'm Nicole," she whispered, "I made a wish last night that I could be here and it kinda backfired because Brianna wanted to be in high school."

"I'm not really sure i believe you, but that explains why you haven't hit me yet today.. you have been acting alot like her." Devon whispered back, "Even the way you say stuff," he smiled, "I like you.. um .. her."

Devon held Nicole's hand tightly under the table.

"I like you too," she said.

Just great, Nick thought, oh well, I"ve spent 10 thousand years in a desk lamp I think I can handle this little romance.  Besides, he smiled, she's got her whole life ahead of her and she's bound to want me sometime.
