[The scene opens in the apartment. Emi has sneaked into the attic with a flashlight in hand. She then notices a small mouse scurrying across the floor. Emi drops to the floor for a closer look and sees into a small hole in the wall. She giggles as the mouse looks back at her from inside the hole.]
Come on little fella...I'm not gonna hurt you...
[There is a sudden knock from underneath. The knock scares the mouse away and Emi frowns. She hears the voice of Kenji yelling from below.]
Hey short-stuff! You found what you're looking for yet?
[Emi yells back at him as she gets back up to her feet.]
Darn it Kenji! Just give me a minute will you?
You're not making friends with the mice again are you?
Of course not...
[She shrugs as she points the flashlight around the attic. She's looking for something, no doubt something to show off to her flatmate. She eventually stumbles across an old cabinet filled with old cutlery including dishes and spoons. She opens the cabinet and finally finds what she was looking for. She takes it out of the cabinet and closes the door.]
I FOUND IT!!
[Kenji helps her out the attic and down the ladder. She jumps off the ladder and skips into the lounge excitedly as Kenji locks the attic door closed, folds the ladder and stores it back where it came from. He heads into the lounge where Emi is bouncing up and down, holding something in her hands that is covered with an old cloth. She smiles at him as he shrugs.]
Okay...what is it you want to show me this time?
Guess!
Well I don't know!
Wrong!!
[She tears the cloth out of the way, revealing a silver coffee maker. Kenji has a look on his face as if he knows what's coming as Emi presents it to him.]
Well? Isn't it shiny or what? You can make more coffee with it now!
[Kenji sighs.]
Is this what this is about? I've told you already Emi. You're not having any more caffeine! Last time you had some you were so hyperactive that you trashed this entire place, and then you spent the next whole day in bed complaining about your bad tummy! I'm telling you now, no matter what you say or do, you're not having any more coffee! Okay?
[She hangs her head as he hands the coffee maker back to her.]
Besides, this is way too dirty for us to use...
No it's not, it's still shiny...
[She gentle rubs it.]
...just needs a little rub here and...
[glow=red,2,300]FLASH!!!!![/glow]
[After a sudden spark the room is filled with a mysterious mist as the coffee maker begins to rattle. Emi holds it away from her as a squiggly line of smoke shoots from the coffee maker. As Emi and Kenji watch in amazement a feminine figure appears before them, hovering high above them with her arms folded and a proud look on her face. She was dressed in Arabian garments. She looked down at the holder of the coffee maker, who cannot believe what she is seeing.]
Greetings!! I am the Great Mandolin, and I am an all-powerful genie!! Hmm...nice place you got here...
[Both Emi and Kenji are astonished.]
Unbelievable...
Oh my god no way! A real life genie!? This is sooo cool! And my you are sooooo shiny!!
Of course! I am the shiniest genie in history! And might I say, you have to be the cutest little mistress to ever summon me...and that's counting everyone from the last 8000 years!
[Emi blushes as Kenji steps in.]
Umm hold on a sec... I thought genie are normally found in lamps?
Oh, that only applies for straight genies...
Straight? So does that mean you're...
No. I'm actually bisexual...
Oh...
[Emi looks confused.]
What's bisexual?
Doesn't matter... Anyway moving on...what's your name?
Emi Yamamoto.
Well Emi Yamamoto, because you summoned me, I can grant you three wishes. But please remember, you cannot wish for more wishes. Thousands have tried...
Well...what if I wish if you can grant me more wishes?
Excuse me?
Emi, just keep to the script...
What script?
[Kenji rolls his eyes.]
So Emi Yamamoto, would you like to make your first wish...
[Emi smiles to herself, and then at Kenji. Kenji knows what she's about to say.]
No Emi...I just told you. No coffee!
Whatever Kenny, I have a genie now! So you can't do anything...
But...
[Emi turns back to the genie.]
I wish I can do whatever I want!!
[And with that said, Mandolin the genie folds her arms and nods her head. Emi's wish was her command.]
[Two days later...]
WOOOOOOO!!!!
[The flat is a complete wreck. The furniture is all messed up, there's paper and candy wrappings all over the floor, there's a pile of drink cans in the kitchen and there are girly toys all over the place. Kenji is in the corner of the lounge, looking like he is having a mental breakdown, as Emi continues to fly around the room in her underwear, with a mug of coffee in one hand and a half-eaten tangerine in the other. Dance music is blaring as the genie is lying on the couch sipping a cup of coffee of her own.]
THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME!!!
[Emi spots the enchanted coffee maker on the side of the couch. She stops and thinks to herself before dropping the tangerine and coffee mug and grabbing the genie's attention.]
Hey Mandy?
Actually my name is Mandolin...
Whatevz... Can I like see inside your house in there?
[Mandolin smiles.]
You must certainly can. Here, take this...
[She stands up and hands her a small purple rock.]
Just squeeze this really tight and you'll be magically transported into my home.
Cool!
[She proceeds to squeeze the rock until she magically disappears. Kenji notices this and panics.]
What? Did...did you just do what I think you just did?
And what do you think that I did do?
You know...did you just turn her into a genie?
Oh no, don't worry. She can come back out anytime she wants. All you have to do is squeeze the rock again...
But you didn't tell her that...
Oh she's a big girl. She'll figure it out...
[Meanwhile, inside the enchanted coffee maker...]
Oh my god! This place is sooo awesome!! There's a piano...and look, there's an indoor swimming pool! And...oh my... Is that a pony!!? This place has everything!!
[Suddenly the entire home begins to quake. Emi stumbles onto the soft couch as everything around her rumbles and shakes. Little does she realize is that the enchanted coffee maker is being carried by someone. The rumbling continued until finally it stops, and Emi is able to climb back to her feet and brush her hair back into place.]
Owww...that wasn't fun at all! I wanna go back home now. Now how does this thing work...
[She inspects the rock in her hand until she vanishes. She reappears out of the coffee maker, but not in her own flat. She looks around with a confused look on her face, realizing that she is standing in the middle of someone else's dull and gray flat. She turns around and notices a blonde man staring at her completely awestruck.]
Whoa...I can't believe it worked! Are you a real life genie? Gotta say, I didn't expect a genie to look so hot!!
[Emi blushes and giggles.]
My, aren't you quite a charmer?
I do my best...but yeah, are you a genie or not? Cuz I've got a few wishes to make...
Well no, I'm not a genie. But I might the genie who lived in that coffee machine...
Seriously? Then who the hell are you supposed to be?
I'm Emi, that's who! Now where are we? I thought we were back at home...
Nah, see I stole this thing from your friend. You have no idea how long I've been searching for this thing. Gotta say though, this hasn't been a total loss...
[He seductively approaches Emi, who steps away from him.]
Come on baby, you may not be a genie, but you can still grant me a few wishes...
No I can't!
[Emi pushes him away before realizing what she just said. As the blonde man struggles to get back onto her feet, Emi suddenly has a reality check.]
Actually I can, can't I? You know, I don't think I like this...being able to do whatever I want...I mean look how much trouble I'm in! About to be attacked by some blonde loser...
[The blonde man takes offense.]
Who you calling a loser? I'm not a loser...
Huh?
[He suddenly turns angry.]
You hear me? I'm not a loser! No one will ever call me a loser again once I find that damn genie...
Is this what this has all been about?
You wouldn't understand. I've been belittled all the time, not being able to do what I want because everyone keeps calling me a loser. I'm not a loser! It's not fair! I should be able to do what I want when I want! I try to stand up for myself but it just doesn't get me anywhere!
Wow...you know I just went through something like that...except for the loser part, I'm not a loser...just ask Brandon, or Aaron, or Ian, or TJ...
Who's TJ?
Doesn't matter...but do you really need a genie to wish to do whatever you want? I know it's hard, and you're probably not any good at it, but can't you just, you know, do something with your life? I mean it's one thing to say that you do whatever you want, but maybe you should actually try and do something to prove that you can?
You're right...
[He regains his composure before stepping back to his feet and glaring at Emi with a seductive look in his eye.]
I'm gonna do whatever I want... Starting with you!
[He corners her.]
Eep!
[Suddenly the door bursts open and Mandolin the genie barges into the room and tackles the blonde man onto the floor. Kenji shortly arrives behind her gasping for breath. After knocking the blonde man out on the floor, the genie stands up and Emi embraces her with a big hug., oblivious to Mandolin sniffing the back of her neck.]
Mandy! You saved me! But how did you find me?
Again, the name's Mandolin, not Mandy...and that jerk stole my home. I think I'm more than capable of finding my own home...
Wow, you're awesome! But there's something I wanna wish now...
Shoot.
I wish things were back to normal.
What? But you were having so much fun...
Yeah it was fun, but now I know why everyone can't do certain things. If big ugly jerks like that icky blonde man had the power to do whatever they want then everything would be bad because they'd all be fighting each other. I told that man he could do whatever he want, and he tried to attack me! Imagine if someone like the Joker or Dr. Cortex could do whatever they want? I know now I have the power to do whatever I want, magic or not, but I'm not gonna do what I want all the time. I don't wanna be crazy like that smelly dumb man...
Not quite sure I understand, but okay fair enough... Your wish is my command!
[And with a nod of her head, the genie grants her wish, and everything turns back to normal. After a bright flash, Emi, Kenji and Mandolin find themselves back in their normal flat, with everything back to where it should be, and Emi is once again fully clothed. The coffee maker is also back on the side of the couch. Kenji sighs in relief and collapses on the couch as Emi cheers.]
Hooray! Everything's back to normal!
[Mandolin smiles, but she suddenly turns serious as she stops Emi heading into her room.]
Ahem...aren't you forgetting something?
Oh no...I didn't leave my bubblegum with that loser did I?
No... Emi, you still have one wish left...don't you have any last wishes to make? Like, oh, I don't know, maybe you wanna wish that I can go free or something?
I've got a better idea...
Yeah? How about wishing to be a little taller?
Nah, I'll do that in another adventure... Things may be back to normal, but there's still one thing that I want more than anything in the whole world...
[Mandolin looks reluctant.]
I WISH YOU COULD BE MY PET PUPPY FOREVER!!!
WHAT!? You've gotta be...
[Before she can finish her sentence, with a quick flash she suddenly transforms into a little puppy. Emi shrieks with delight.]
AWWWW WHAT A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY!!!
[The puppy frowns as Emi scoops her up and hugs her tightly. Kenji sees her and rolls his eyes.]
Oh boy... Cami's in for a surprise when she gets back home...
[He stands up and approaches Emi, who is squeezing the puppy tightly.]
You know, if that mutt is gonna stay here, you'd better look after it. You'll have to feed it and walk it and clean up after it everyday. That mutt is your responsibility now...
[Emi shields her from Kenji and pouts.]
She's not a mutt! Her name's Mandy and she's adorable!!
[The scene fades out as the puppy rolls her eyes.]
