Amelia
and the Magic Lamp
Part I





The slayers gang has just defeaten another bandit gang. They are
searching through the bandits' treasure, deciding what to keep, what not
to keep, etc.

Amelia: At last, Justice has triumphed over the evil bandits
who dared to oppose us!

Lina: (while digging through treasure) Sure. Whatever you say.
(pulls out a huge diamond amulet) Wow! This is sooooo cool!!

Gourry: Ooooh...shiny.

Lina: You can have it, if you want.

Gourry: Seriously?!

Lina: You betcha!

Lina hands Gourry the amulet. He sits and stares at it, amazed by
the shininess of it.

Lina: As for you, Zel...

Lina digs out a couple books.

Lina: You get to take a look at all these books...

Zelgadis, not being one to talk much, does nothing more than nod
in approvement. Lina continues to dig through the treasure.

Lina: I'll take whatever treasure's left here, and we're all
happy!

Amelia: What about me, Lina-san?

Lina: Oh...um...forgot about you...

Lina digs through the treasure, and hands her a small brass item.

Lina: You can have this rusty old lamp.

Gourry looks up from the amulet to the lamp.

Gourry: Oooh...rusty..

Amelia whacks him over the head with the lamp.

Amelia: What the heck would I want with a rusty old lamp!?

Lina shrugs.

Lina: I dunno. You're smart, you can figure something out.

Amelia: Hmph!

Lina: Besides, you're a princess, you probably have plenty of
money and treasure as it is.

Amelia: But I still helped you out as much as anyone else here!
And they get more than me!

Lina: You didn't do anything! You just ran around, shouting,
"Justice will prevail! We shall be victorious! Yada-yada-yada! Blah blah
blah!"

Amelia: Lina-san, I did far more than that, and you know it!

Lina: WHATEVER! Let's just go home.

Zelgadis: We don't have one.

Lina shoots him the death glare.

Zelgadis: ...Shutting up now.



That night, the group decides to stay at an inn in a town nearby.
Just because I don't feel very creative right now, we'll call the place
Townsville, okay? Anyway, they're in the usual sleeping arrangement; Lina
and Amelia in one room, Gourry and Zelgadis in another.

Lina has fallen asleep long before Amelia had. Amelia lies in her
bed, thinking aloud.

Amelia: Why don't they ever appreciate me? I'm a princess, yet
I get the worst treatment out of the group. And even if I wasn't a princess,
whatever happened to good old equality?! Do they all really hate me that
much? Am I really that annoying?

Lina: ZzZzZz....shut up, Amelia...zZzZz...

Amelia: Huh?

Amelia sits up and looks at Lina. She's still asleep.

Amelia: Telling me to shut up...in her sleep? Oh, god, I really
am that annoying!

Amelia slams her head back down against her pillow, and orders herself
to get some sleep.



(Huh? What's this?)

Lina: Why do we even let her tag along, anyway? It's not like
she ever does anything that we couldn't do on our own!

(Are they talking about...me?)

Zelgadis: Well...she does have her uses.

(Hooray, Zelgadis-san! You do care about me!)

Zelgadis: She's got more money than all three of us put together.

(WHAT?! Zelgadis-san...;_;)

Lina: Yeah, that's true. But can she ever shut up about frickin
justice for just ONE second, and fight like a normal person?

(Is this...a dream?)

Gourry: That would be highly doubtful.

(Definitely a dream. Gourry-san would never use grammar such as that.)

Zelgadis: What should we do?

Lina: Good question. We can't just let a stupid kid wander
around with us all the time.

(Stupid kid?! Even if this is a dream, I'll get you for that, Lina-san.)

Amelia enters the scene.

Lina: Amelia, we've done some talking, and we've decided something.

Amelia: Huh? And what's that?

Everyone: That you're a big loser!

Amelia: Whaaat?! Lina-san? You were my idol!

Lina: And you were a tag-along.

Amelia: Gourry-san? You're too stupid to hate me, right?!

Gourry: Nope. In this current dream, I'm about as intelligent
as Zelgadis is.

Amelia: Argh! Zelgadis-san?!

Zelgadis: ...

Amelia: Zelgadis-san?! Talk to me!!

Zelgadis: No, I'm not going to talk to you. Ever again. In
fact, I'm not even talking to you now 'cause this is a dream.

Amelia: NOOOOOOOO!!!!



Amelia wakes up, sweating and breathing heavily.

Amelia: Just a dream...it was just a dream...

Amelia sighs.

Amelia: I need some fresh air or something...

Amelia tosses the covers off of her bed and walks down the stairs
of the inn. She steps outside the inn, and looks down. There, lies the
lamp she had gotten the day before.

Amelia: How did this get here?

She kneels down and picks it up.

Amelia: Huh? There's a small inscription on it...


"Rub me and I'll give you five bucks"

Amelia: There's something you don't see every day...

Deciding she needs the extra pocket money, she rubs the lamp.

Smoke pours out from within the brass treasure. Amelia drops it in
surprise.

The smoke materializes...into a figure.

Soon, Amelia is able to see who it is.

It's a tall girl, with Arabian-style clothing, with long brown hair
that is pulled back in a ponytail.

Amelia: Who...? Hey, weren't you the host from The Wheel of LOVE?
And...Hey! You're the authoress! Yufflez!

Genie: Eh? Um...I'm not Yufflez! You must have me mistaken with
someone else...Yufflez is my....um...twin sister!

Amelia: Then who are you?

Genie: Um..............I'm............................Rufflez!

Amelia: -_-; ...Rufflez.

Genie: Um...YAH!

Amelia: Are you, like, a genie? So I get three wishes?

Rufflez: Oh, heck no. That 'three wishes' thing was something
we made up.

Amelia: So...then...you can't make my wishes come true...

Amelia turns around and starts to walk back into the inn.

Rufflez: Hold it, hold it, hold it! I didn't say we didn't grant
wishes. I was just telling ya that they aren't limited to three, that's
all.

Amelia: Really?!

Rufflez: You got it! We made up the three wishes thing so that
people wouldn't get too greedy with us.

Amelia: So you'll grant me...whatever I want?

Rufflez: No strings attached. But there are a few rules.

Amelia: What are those?

Rufflez: I forgot. I'll tell ya if I ever remember 'em.

Amelia: Hey, isn't 'Rufflez' the name of a potato chip?

Rufflez: Shut up or I will limit your wishes.

Amelia: Okay...sorry.

Rufflez: So, what do you want to wish for?

Amelia: First of all, I want those five bucks that the lamp inscription
promised.

Rufflez facefaults.

Rufflez: You can have anything your heart desires, and you want
five bucks?!

Amelia: Yep, now pay up.

Rufflez sighs, reaches into her pocket, and hands Amelia a five dollar
bill.

Rufflez: Happy?

Amelia: Yep. (pauses) Nope. Do you have any change?

Rufflez sighs with frustration, and gives Amelia five dollars in
change.

Amelia: Thanks, now I can use the pop machine!

Rufflez: There is no pop machine.

Amelia: Well then, I wish for a pop machine!

A pop machine magically appears! Amelia gets a Coke. (No offense
towards all you Pepsi fans out there)

Rufflez: Now, anything serious or drastic you want to wish for?
C'mon, I'm bored here!

Amelia: Hmm...well, just for fun...Could you make Gourry-san
smart?

Rufflez: Who's Gourry?

Amelia: He's inside. He's the tall, blond swordsman with the
clueless expression.

Rufflez: Okay!

Rufflez claps her hands together.

Rufflez: By morning, your moronic friend will be...a not-so-moronic
friend!

Amelia: This should be interesting.

Rufflez: I'm gonna go grant your wish now. If you ever need anything
else, just rub the lamp.

Amelia: Hey...do I get five bucks each time I rub the lamp?

Rufflez: No, that was a one-time thing.

Amelia: Cheap!
