Sonata idly tapped her pencil on her desk as she sat back with a bored expression on her face. The clock mounted over the teachers desk read half past eleven, meaning she still had a good fifteen minutes before she could leave for lunch. She was currently in math, and she was bored out of her mind. The work sheet she had been given was ridiculously easy and had taken her barley five minutes to finish. The teacher, a man named Simple Solution, had been skeptical when she had handed in her work sheet, but after going over it had told her to just sit quietly at her desk.
Which she had been doing. For thirty minutes. The agony.
With a moan of boredom, Sonata slid back in her chair till her chin was barley above her attached desk. Looking around from her new position, the blue girl couldn't help but be puzzled when she noticed that nearly every other student was still working on the paper.
The stuff was stupid easy. From what she could gather this was all review, so why was everyone else having a difficult time?
Sonata let a bored sigh escape her lips. "I wish Norm was here." She muttered, thinking of all the non-boring things she could do if the genie was there with her.
Suddenly, with the familiar gong and a puff of purple smoke, Norm appeared floating in the class room. He had slightly changed his appearance, he was now wearing a black tux and was adorned with various gold items.
"Alright let's see seven!" The genie cheered, seemingly not noticing that he had changed locations. Giving his hand a shake, the genie tossed a pair of dice forward, nailing Sonata in the forehead.
"Ow!" Sonata cried out at the unexpected pain, rubbing her forehead where the dice struck.
Norm, who had previously had his eyes closed, opened them at Sonatas cry. "I'm back here already? Dang, should have known it wouldn't last long. Never does." With a snap of his fingers Norm was back in his normal apparel.
"Norm? What are you doing here?" She picked the dice off the floor, "And why'd you throw dice at me?"
Looking at the dice in Sonata's hand, Norm couldn't help but smirk, "Well would you look at that? Seven again." Norm took the dice from Sonata and tossed them over his shoulder, where they landed in a shot glass in the casino he had previously been entertaining himself. "Sorry about hitting you, blue, was playing a game and hadn't noticed you called until I let those dice loose. So what do you need?"
Sonata was confused, which wasn't unusual for her. Norm had explicitly told them that the only one who could call him was whoever was currently in control, which most certainly was not her. So why had he come when she wished for him? Wait. Wish. No, it couldn't be. Could it? He had admitted that genies had lied about wishes before, what with the only three thing, so it wasn't that much of a stretch, was it?
Norm watched with amusement as his young mistress puzzled out the truth of the situation. It was hilarious to watch her face scrunch up as she thought, her tongue sticking out the corner of her mouth. He had figured she would be the one to discover he had lied about the turn rule, after all she saw through the fake limited wish rule.
As he waited for her to puzzle out the fact that she did not have to wait to make wishes, he messed with a couple of the blue girls class mates who we're currently frozen in time. He couldn't let any of the other kiddies find out what he really was, could he? Deciding he didn't like the fat kid trying to copy the girl in front of him, he maneuvered the small pocket mirror the girl had been using so it showed the boy peering over her shoulder.
"You lied about the rules again!" Sonata exclaimed, she tried to stand up quickly, only to get caught on the attached desk and knocking the wind out of herself, causing her to crumple back into her seat. "Oww..." She moaned.
Norm couldn't help but laugh at the girls misfortune. "Of course I lied," the genie replied after he calmed down, ignoring Sonatas glare, "I'm a genie, it's kind of what we do." He floated over to Sonata, "Plus, can you imagine all the work I'd have to do if you guys knew you could wish for anything at any time? I'd never get any rest!" Norm waived his hand dismissively, "But that's not important. What is important is how your going to use this to your advantage."
"My advantage?" Sonata asked, puzzled.
"Yes your advantage! What, we're you planning on running off to tell Cheese Puff and Tassels?"
Sonata gave Norm a odd look, "Cheese Puff and Tassels?"
Norm rolled his eyes, "Adagio and Aria."
"Oh!" Sonata exclaimed, before tilting her head in confusion, "I still don't get it."
Norm slapped his face before moaning in exasperation, "Forget it kid, just a couple of dumb nick-names I gave them. Now, how are you going to use the fact that you are the only one to know that my rules are bogus?"
Sonata looked at Norm for a moment, before smiling widely.
Three hours later, Six Flags Magic Mountain
"This is awesome!" Sonata shouted in excitement, hands flung into the air without a care in the world as the rollercoaster made yet another sharp turn.
"I know, right?" Norm said next to the blue girl, shouting to be heard over the combination of wind and screams.
For the past three hours the two had been going from theme park to theme park riding the most exciting rollercoasters they could find, bypassing lines with just a smidgeon of magic. Oh, and it helped that everyone was still frozen in time. Yeah, that really helped. Getting off the ride the two slowly walked, and floated, past the line of people stuck in time. As they did so, Sonata snatched a cone of cotton candy from a fat kid that looked to be in the middle of a tantrum.
Taking a huge bite from her pilfered sweet treat, Sonata turned to Norm, a face splitting smile on her face. "You know Norm," Sonata began, taking another huge bite as the walked through the park, "This has been the best day I have had since I was banished to this universe."
"Oh yeah?" Norm raised a brow, tilting his sunglasses so his purple eyes appeared over them. "What was the first?'
Sonata smiled a not quite nice smile, "The day Aria slipped on a discarded taco at this fare and crashed into Adagio while we were singing. They both wound up crashing into this stall selling Mexican food, it was hilarious!" Sonata started laughing madly, Norm joining in seconds afterwards with his own chuckle. This lasted for a few seconds until Sonata let out an excited gasp. "I got it!"
"Got what?"
"What you were hinting at earlier, it's so obvious!" Sonata jumped up and down in excitement while Norm shot her a bemused look. Calming herself down, Sonata turned to Norm with a serious expression on her face (which was ruined by the cotton candy beard she was sporting) and took a breath. "I wish that Adagio and Aria had to follow the rules you have made for wishing!" Sonata exclaimed, thrusting her hand into the sky to strike a dramatic pose. "Oh, and some more cotton candy."
Stroking his goatee, Norm mumbled, "I was hinting at Mars, but, eh. This works too." Speaking louder Norm cracks his knuckles and prepares to snap, "As you wish, kiddo. One limiter, and a cotton candy, coming right up!"
Gong!
Sonata squealed in delight as her empty cone was suddenly topped with a small mountains worth of pink, cottony, sugar.
"You know you're going to have to go back to class eventually, right?" Norm idly noted as he watched his young mistress devour the conjured candy.
"I know." Sonata said between bites, "But first, more rides!"
Norm smirked, and snapped his fingers.
Discord and Twilight blinked away the spots as the appeared in yet another universe. Taking one look at the colorful bears merrily skipping around on clouds, the two couldn't teleport away fast enough.
