"Well fuck, I wish I knew how my first wish would play out and worded it right the first time to get everything I wanted..." Natalie blurted out.
"I suppose that is wiser, but not the wisest," Alibaba grunted.
Countless existences instantly played out over decades in Nate/Natalies mind seeing various outcomes all based on his original goal of becoming a movie star and trying to avoid what his next pitfall would be.
In many realities he was left transgendered, in some, he fell into drugs, in many he found himself successful against a backdrop of a tumultuous personal life. He was made gay, bisexual, pansexual and many of the same people showed up at first but things veered off wildly within months.
"I wish I was a movie star..." Nate started. Then a force possessed him " who was a 21-year-old man but naturally gifted to the role and fated to..."
The wish played out for over an hour describing countless minute details of the new past, present, and future, carefully weaving a reality that would perfectly satisfy threats and avoid countless irritations.
"...and would immediately find my car keys on march the 7th, 2061..." Nate muttered suddenly realizing his mouth was very dry and he was in pain from standing in the same position over the last hour.
"Very well." Alibaba said with a smirk disappearing completely and then fading back into existience. Nate was suddenly a lean and muscular, handsome man and in an existence that would please him and treat him well, though he doesn't know that. "One wish left Master."
"ONE? I only used one and you said I had three!"
"Your second wish modified your first wish. Going back in time and rewriting your history to correct your first mistake. Unfortunately, you did not wish to remember what you originally wished, what you learned from the alternate timeline, or even what your second wish was, and thus, you cannot better yourself from that knowledge."
********************************************************
Natalie's eyes fluttered open, her brain reeling from the countless lifetimes of information that just passed through it... "Did it work?" she muttered softly.
"It did, and so it is here I must leave you and return to the true timeline."
"Wait! I still have a wish! Why am I still a girl? What do you mean true timeline?"
"Your first wish created this new existence, your second wish severed it from the main branch of reality creating a new true timeline. Your false timeline will rapidly descend into the formless chaos as physics and reality melt away. I already explained that I can't delete a part of a wish without deleting the rest. This existence must remain to avoid a time paradox, for it was your first wish. I however, will not be in it."
Alibaba and his lamp faded away leaving Natalie alone and stranded in a universe fated to chaotic destruction.
