Spike in his Dragon form was in a hammock, his Lamp was full of different trinkets and oddities, his favorite thing was the tent holding the picture of him with Rain Shine in it, other things included a small golden sphinx statue, a bag of yarn, the two potted palm tree's he had his hammock tied to, and many other things. Spike had had a lot of masters over the last century, and so far his Kirin form had been his go-to for all of them, as it had received far fewer screams than his Dragon form. Mostly to keep his mind busy and keep from boredom during the years between his masters Spike had split his mind in two and his Kirin form was currently playing a game of Pin-ball.
"I hate this game," Kirin said irritably as he pushed the machine and it disappeared into a blue mist, "I wanna play..." Kirin tapped his chin, trying to think of a game when Dragon spoke up.
"How about a game of chess?" he offered.
"Last time we played chess we were stuck playing it for two years," Kirin snapped back, there was a moment of silence before he added "I call Black," Before Dragon could respond they both froze when they felt it about to happen, it wasn't much of a warning but they had 3 seconds to react before their new master rubbed the lamp, both Dragon and Kirin turned into mist and swirled into one before making towards the nozzle as the lamp was rubbed, the lamp began shaking as he exited the nozzle, mostly for show and somewhat to make sure his master had a moment of warning and didn't chuck him off a cliff as one had done in the past. He came pouring out of the lamp and swirled into existence as a Kirin, and was instantly met with tiny screams, he looked to his new master and found several Breezies who had been inspecting the lamp that was tangled in vines and dangling in the branches of a tree.
the Breezies whom Spike instantly recognized to be his master stood proud and started yelling at Spike in a language he didn't understand.
"Well this is a problem," he noticed immediately as he scratched his chin in thought "I don't speak any language other than Equestrian Ponish," the Breezie continued yelling at Spike for a moment before he figured out his solution, "Oh, duh, Cosmic powers," Spike booped his snoot and his eyes began rolling like a slot machine, the Brezzies watched in confusion as his pupils spun until the stopped, showing them in the shape of Breezies, Spike booped his snoot again and exploded into mist and swirled in front of his master, taking the shape of a Purple and Green Breezie.
"What the?" His master demanded in shock as he and the rest of his unit all moved back.
"Ah, I can understand you now," Spike cheered "Figured that might work," Spike fluttered his wings and pointed to his master "Alright, so I can tell that you're the one who released me from the lamp, I am the Genie of...you know, the lamp, that lamp, and you're my master now,"
The Breezie looked at Spike for a moment before pointing to himself in confusion, "Me?" he asked
"You rub the lamp you wake up the Genie, and the Genie becomes your slave," Spike could instantly tell he had failed to sell the idea to the Breezie.
"Slave?" he demanded "I have no desire to own a creature,"
"Well, you own this one," Spike said casually "Just make three wishes and I get to go back to the lamp," Before his master could speak again one of the Breezies behind him spoke up.
"Sir, If I may speak freely?"
"Speak," the lead Breezie replied.
"We could use these wishes to find our way home,"
"You're right," He said as he scratched his chin "I could wish for us all to be returned home, but I suppose I must be..." His master was cut off when Spike used some theatrics to get his attention, as his eyes began glowing he made the Breezies and the lamp glow for effect and made a very light wind so as to not send them all flying but to get their attention.
"Your Wish is Granted," Spike declared as one of the black lines under his eyes disappeared, and in a bright flash, they were all in the middle of a cave full of Breezies," Spike just kind of sat back and watched as they were swarmed with Breezies alerted by the bright flash only to find what Spike know knew had been a scouting party that had gone missing. Spike didn't partake in the happy return until he was noticed by the Breezies.
"Who are you?" An older-looking Breezie asked as it feebly fluttered to him.
"I'm the guy who poofed these guys here," He replied casually as his master flew up to him.
"I do not understand, why did you bring us here?"
"You said, I and Wish followed by a request to bring your party home," Spike replied casually "Intentional or not, you say I and Wish before something, it counts as a wish, got two left,"
"What are you?" His master asked, wonder in his eyes as he looked at Spike "You are no Breezie, nor any other kind of creature I've ever seen before,"
"Well I'm a Genie," Spike said before raising his hoofs and growing massive in size and gaining the attention of all the Breezies in the cavern, "I possess Phenomenal Cosmic powers," as Spike said this his hooves became a light with magic as the ceiling of the cavers shifted and plants seemingly began swirling around Spike, Spike shot down to the lamp, with the ceiling going back to normal and the Planets evaporating as he shot inside the nozzle and he popped out through the lid "And I live in a lamp, rub the lamp, you get three wishes, there are a few rules but I doubt with all my being that a Breezie such as your self would even think of breaking any of them even without knowing them, that said you wish for something and I grant it," Spike smiled as the Breezie's began whispering among themselves, his master clearly not knowing what to wish for.
"Maybe we could ask for our cavern to be larger?" one of the Breezies asked.
"Maybe we could ask for flowers to grow in the cave?"
"But if we do that the flowers may attract bees, and the bees may bring other predators into the out home, remember what happened the last spring when those wasps made a nest by the entrance, we lost many a good Breezie clearing their nest,", as the talk turned to predators Spike heard his master sigh.
"Oh, I could wish we were be safe in our own home," His master didn't seem to notice he had made a wish as Spike's eyes began glowing and one of his black lines disappeared.
"Your wish is granted," the entrance to their home decreased in size massively, leaving only a small hole that was slowly getting smaller.
"Wait," His master said in a panic stated, "What did I wish for?"
"To be safe," Spike replied casually "Your home will now be sealed off from the rest of the world, and only link back up once a year just long enough for you and your people to gather pollen and return home, with a week or two breathing room in case you get slowed down by something,"
"But...But we can not survive cut off from the rest of the world, we need water, sunlight, we need..."
"You know, you could just wish your cave had everything you need to survive," Spike said casually before licking his hoof and attacking a smudge on his lamp, "just wish for it to be a Grotto or something," Spike looked at the smudge before adding "but before that can I get some help cleaning my lamp, gonna be a few years before someone rubs it again, and I'd like it to shine a little, makes it easier to find," Spike continued attacking the smudge with his hoof only to find some of the Breezies had actually come to his aid and were wiping his lamp down, "oh, thank you," Spike said as he stopped attacking the smudge, Spike sat in wait for them to finish before waving to his master who looked nervous as he spoke his first and final intentional wish.
"I wish for our home cave to become a Grotto we can thrive in," Spike nodded at it.
"You know what, I can work with that," Spike waved at the Breezies as his eyes started glowing, he increased to massive high again as the entire cave began glowing, "Your wish is granted," he declared as he moved the cave out of Equestria and into its own little pocket dimension, giving the Breezie a grotto separated from Equestria in every way but the temporary entrance. Once the wish was granted Spike could feel himself being sucked back into the lamp but resisted with all his might as he watched the Breezies react to their new home.
"This is better than I could have hoped for," The Breezie who had once been his master said in awe "Why don't you stay with us? I'm sure we can find a nice place for your lamp,"
"What?" Spike asked with a chuckle as the lamp started spinning "I don't voluntarily live in this thing, I'm trapped in it, and once a master uses all three wishes I'm sent flying into the event horizon," The Look on his ex-master face almost made Spike feel bad. "I did say I was a slave," he managed to say before the lamp began forcing him in, Spike's lower body turned into a tornado as he was sucked in, his upper body being flung around with it, "Oh I don't like this," He decided as the lamp prevented him from shrinking down and he was violently sucked into the lamp while massive. while being sucked in he felt something and saw that a swarm of Breezies was trying to stop him from being sucked in. 
"Ah that's sweet," He managed to say before the lamp sent out a surge of magic and shrunk him down to the size of a normal Breezie, his rapid change in size sent the ones trying to pull him free-flying as he was finally sucked it with a large amount of discomfort on his end, Spike arrived back in the lamp and for the first time ever felt the lamp move from within. it jumped and sent him hurtling face-first into the ceiling before it presumably flung itself out the entrance to the Breezie's cave and flattened Spike against the back of it.
"Pain, a lot of pain," Spike managed to say before the lamp hit something hard and Spike flung forward and hit the nozzle, his wrist cuff started glowing and slammed him into the back of the lamp once more before he was allowed to fall flat onto the floor of his lamp, in a puff, the Breezie split into the Dragon and the Kirin and the two fell over in pain as the Breezie continued existing on the floor.
"I forgot to ask my master his name, and I failed to give him mine" Breezie groaned "Why do I keep doing that, I suck so much,"
"Shut up," Dragon and Kirin groaned back.
