9. Joshua's First Wish

Josh and the Genie, Brendon, find themselves traveling back to Moria.

"Thanks, Brendon!" Josh cried. "You're the best! Now you can start granting me my three wishes!"

"Hold it, pal!" Brendon said; stopping in their path. "You only have two wishes left."

"Not so! I never officially wished to get out of the cave. You did that on your own!"

Brendon yelps.

"He tricked the Genie!"

During the journey back to Moria, Josh thinks about his three wishes.

"Three whole wishes... what would you wish for, Brendon?" He asked.

"Wow." Brendon said. "No one's ever asked me that before."

"Well, now I am."

The Genie looked down for a moment, then looked back to his master.

"Freedom."

"Freedom?" Josh repeated.

"I'm trapped, Josh. Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty-bitty living space. But oh, to be free... be my own master... such a thing would be greater than all the magic in all the world! But who am I kidding? It's never gonna happen."

Feeling pity for the Genie, Josh came up with an idea.

"I'll do it. After I make my first two wishes, I'll use my third wish to set you free."

"Now, don't go and get my hopes up if you don't mean it."

Josh takes Brendon's hand and looks into his eyes.

"I promise, Bren."

When he heard him say that, it made the Genie blush a little, but he was delighted to know his master was going to finally set him free.

"Well, alrighty then! Let's get down to business. What are you going to wish for?"

"Well, there is this boy-"

"Wrong!" Brendon cried. "I can't make anyone fall in love, remember?"

"Oh, right. But, if you saw him, you'd understand."

"What is he like?" Brendon asked.

"He's so smart and fun... and beautiful, inside and out. The only problem is, he's a prince. And to have any chance with him, I'd have to be a... prince!"

Josh got an idea for his first wish.

"Hey, Brendon, can you make me a prince?"

"You have to make it official." The Genie said. "No more freebies."

"Brendon, I wish for you to make me a prince!"

"At last, it's wish fulfillment time!"

Brendon, rubbing his hands together, prepares to whip up a princely makeover.

As he prepares, Josh looks up to the sky.

"Now I'm really gonna make something of myself, ma. You'll see."

Josh holds the lamp to the Genie.

"Wait till my pals get a load of this! Come on, Bren!"

The Genie runs after Josh.

"Get ready to look fabulous!!"
