“Lewis I’m telling you it’s risky” this female voice on this phone complained to this mid-30s neatly combed brown haired man in a light-gray suit over a light-blue shirt who was cradling the Smartphone on his shoulder as he used it while packing both a suitcase and travel bag in the living room. “Oh Really Victoria? Need I remind you who it was who noticed their heavy juvenile recorded cousin on that list of sitters?” Lewis countered.
Not far away this green dungarees over a Black T-shirt with purple trainers wearing girl with shoulder-length tied in a ponytail brown haired 9 year old girl was watching “Sorry Victoria but until that investigation is done most of the similar setup unions are a bust” the girl overheard Lewis continue “And yes I am getting ready as I plan on added interviews for a good freelance sitter in case this doesn’t work out”. “Must’ve been a really bad scam” the girl pondered innocently before overhearing their apartment’s doorbell go off which she went to answer.
And it so happened Claire was the one at the door “Hi there sweetie. Your dad Lewis Stevens here?” She asked. “On the phone to his colleague Victoria in the living room and he’s get people coming so whatever your selling you best be quick in trying” the girl answered, only for Lewis to suddenly end his call and appear “Claire Matthews?” he asked. “I am” Claire greeted as the pair shock hands “You must be Mr Stevens”. “Just Lewis. Please” Lewis assured as he escorted Claire to the kitchen before remembering “Ah and of course my daughter Angela”. “So you’re the first candidate as my sitter” Angela noted.
A little later after reviewing a CV-like list Claire had provided him “So you’re a former member of TeenElites Sitters. Babysitting union that was caught in the scandal last year?” Lewis inquired. “…I was among the victims of the illegal copying” Claire assured “It’s a recorded matter with a reference contact”. “Indeed I see it here” Lewis accepted “You also refer to, as of separating from said Union, a Magic Shop product for added appeal?”. “Really?” Angela inquired as unbeknownst to Claire the pair had some prior knowledge from Victoria and a few contacts about said shop and it’s products.
“Suppose I best show you” Claire responded to the way Lewis was asking and got the Lamp out from her backpack and placed it on the table. “WOW! A genie lamp” Angela called out in amazement as she made a grab only for Claire to quickly react. “I apologies, see Angela has quite the fascination with Genies” Lewis apologized “And if you must know we are aware of the genuine report of the products from the Magic Shop. Just not all of them good you understand”. “So we understand each other” Claire returned.
“So what’re they like? The genie in there I mean?” Angela asked. “Oh right now there is no genie. See besides wishes being infinite naturally the exact power of wishing involving this lamp is not as universe bending and in turn needs a host to work” Claire assured “Not permanently though I assure you”. “Interesting. So how do you operate in using it?” Lewis inquired. “Well I’ve only just obtained it a few days back and only briefly tested it out with my parents who depending on what your requesting are not at ease in the event Angela might need to stay at our place” Claire answered “But success here isn’t really a game ender as I have a few more standard type babysitting interviews coming”. “Well actually as the place has to be inspected during my business trip that I can’t take Angela on that is a requirement” Lewis confessed “But I’m sure we can arrange something as by now with everything, even counting the fact that doing so made my pre-packing needless, you’re an ideal sitter”.
“What about a child being the genie?” Angela then suggested which took both Claire and Lewis by surprise “I mean how exactly do you become a host?”. “I best partly show you” Claire responded as she took hold of and rubbed the lamp and a light-blue pantaloons with golden rims with a matching sleeveless and slightly midriff exposing Arabic-like top and a head-circuit with a transparent head-besides face covering veil plus pointed-toe slippers of a darker blue to the rest of the outfit and or course gauntlets lockable by the attached key to the lamp. “Must have a size limit” Lewis stated as Angela took hold of the top and then both saw as the outfit reduced in size to match her. “Or not” Angela responded. “Only thing of note is that it can alter the wearer gender based on who rubbed the lamp when hostless” Claire added “But that depends on the gender-view of the host”.
“So…your thoughts dad?” Angela asked after a brief silence. “Well everything considered unless we’re going for a genieless arrangement I see nothing wrong” Lewis assured the two “But still I would be more comfortable id Angela could sleep in a bed during my time away”. “That or not I’m not giving up the chance at trying being a genie out” Angela insisted. “A babysitter’s job is both the care and happiness of both client and charge” Claire assured while Angela collected the genie outfit and headed into her room “And if needed I’m willing to switch”.
Not long after Angela emerged from her room carrying the suitcase yet now wearing the entire genie outfit “you’re really going for this aren’t you?” Claire questioned. “But I got packed just in case” Angela assured “Now Geniefy me”. “Well if you insist” Claire accepted as she walked up and locked the bracelets “Well here we go”. At which point Claire rubbed the lamp and odorless smoke started to elope Angela until she was fully hidden but then started getting sucked into the lamp but once clear Angela was gone. “So… my daughter really…is…” Lewis started in worry. “Yep and it’s actually more specious in here thanks to the magic I’m guessing” Angela voice responded from the lamp. “If you want the honours?” Claire suggested while handing Lewis the lamp which he rubbed and Angela emerged from a new smoke blast but now had a light-blue smoke-like tail replacing everything below the waist “? How are you doing that?” Claire then asked. “Just how I chose to emerge while getting forced out” Angela responded while easily zooming through the air to Claire’s side “You never tried it?”. “No not really as I assumed you could only be legged” Claire confessed with Angela then somehow effortlessly switching to legs “Guessing I’ve got more to try when I get my next chance”.
“Well we best get ready on both ends then” Angela then stated while taking the Lamp off Lewis and giving it back to Claire. “And just in case are you alright on me essentially moonlighting?” Claire asked Lewis. “As a non-personal plus non-union babysitter can it actually be moonlighting if you’ve got more than me and Angela as clients?” Lewis returned.
