I was mildly amused that would be Erin's first question; she was always witty like that. “I-I guess so.”
Getting impatient, I said, “Any chance you could make me a guy again?”
“You’re definitely Carl.” Pausing, Erin said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to do that.”
“What!?” angrily, I said, “Why not?”
“Neither of us knows anything about genies.” Pausing, Erin said, “I might make things worse if I made that
wish.”
“I guess you’re right.” Pointing at my chest, I said, “But I’m a girl!!”
“What’s wrong with being a girl? I’ve been one for my entire life.” Pausing, Erin said, “Besides, it could be
worse.”
“How could things possibly get any worse than they already are!?”
As if to answer my question, I bright light suddenly appeared from the top of the lamp as smoke billowed out.
I started to panic as the smoke enveloped me; changing my clothes back into the harem outfit.
Looking at me, scared, Erin said, “Carl, what’s happening!?”
“I-I don’t know!” panicking, I said, “Help me!!”
Erin reached out for my hand as the smoke started pulling me backs the lamp. Trying in vain to hold on, Erin
said, “Carl, hold on!”
Erin’s attempts to help me were in vain as I was forcibly pulled back into the bottle. “Erin!!”
Erin watched in silent horror as I was pulled back into the bottle; followed by the bottle disappearing before
her very eyes. Tears streaming down her face, Erin cried, “Carl!”
