Norm, Genie of The Dazzlings

by Aku


Your Time Is Running Out pt.1

Sunset let out a sigh of disappointment as she closed the magic journal that she had been checking for the past week. As she had come to expect there was no response from her friend on the other side of the portal. Honestly, she was beginning to worry that something had happened to Twilight.

Silently she put the book back on the desk she kept it on and turned her thoughts back on the past week. She had been tense after seeing the Dazzlings again, but had to admit the rest of the week had been relatively quiet. So quiet she was beginning to doubt that these girls were the Dazzlings she and her friends had fought in the battle of the bands. They acted so different from the girls she had fought. Adagio was shy and timed, rarely speaking up and always staying close to one of her sisters when she could, nothing like the confident and rather boisterous leader Sunset had the misfortune of knowing. Aria was sweet and kind, always willing to help and just having a general good vibe, nothing like the sarcastic grouch from before. And Sonata was, well, Sonata. Almost Pinkie Pie-ish in a way.

Then there was the fact that these three had a dad. She had seen Mr. MacDonald pick the three up multiple times and had even talked to him once or twice. None of them had tried to do anything harmful, in fact they had been down right pleasant. However, Sunset still had he suspicions. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but sometimes she could swear she would see one or more of the supposed sirens glaring at her out the corner of her eye, mostly Adagio though. Then there was the fact Sonata was always bumming money off Fluttershy, always claiming to have forgotten her lunch, or needing bus fare or something. Rarity always seemed to be losing things while around Aria, though they always turned up latter and there was no way to prove the maybe-siren had anything to do with it.

Sunset shook her head. Perhaps it was all coincidence. She was getting paranoid. She could be misinterpreting the glares, after all she only saw them from the corner of her eye. Sonata only asked for small amounts of money, and did frequently take the bus to visit the animal shelter. Plus, it was only one week, she would get suspicious if it kept up, though. She only had suspicions about Aria's involvement with Rarity's constantly missing items, and anyway Aria always offered to help Rarity find whatever had turned up missing.

But, still, something about those girls left her uneasy.

I wish you were here, Twilight. You'd know what to do.


Aria let out a groan of frustration as she stared at the mess before her. She didn't know how or why, but in the time it took her to take a quick shower and change into some warm pajamas, purple shirt and pants with stars on them, the house had been turned upside down. Furniture was knocked over, pots and pans were scattered across the floor, flour was everywhere, laundry was piled in mounds in the living room, and Sonata was knocked out over the overturned sofa, drenched in milk. That's not even mentioning the shoe prints on the ceiling.

How is that even possible? Aria idly thought as she picked her way through the scattered DVDs/Blue-rays and silverware that were scattered across the floor. And where the heck is Adagio? And Norm, for that matter. Man, he is going to be so ticked off when he finds his favorite chair has been knocked over like this, it's going to be hilarious. I wonder if I'll be able to get his reaction on camera? Aria stepped past the aforementioned chair with a smirk, it had been knocked over and covered in flour, leaving it in a right mess.

Eventually, after much painstaking tiptoeing, Aria reached Sonata, and reached over to wake her in the gentlest way she knew how. "Hey, wake up stupid!" Aria shouted as she slapped the back of Sonatas' head.

Sonata shot up like a rocket, sending droplets of milk flying and rubbed the back of her head. However, instead of yelling at her like she had expected, instead Sonata tackled Aria to the ground, just in time as a small water ballon flew through the air right where Aria had been standing. The balloon explode against the floor, showering the floor in milk. Giggling could be heard coming from a pile of clothes not to far away.

"Sonata?" Aria growled out.

"Yes?" Sonata replied from her position on top of Aria.

"What the fez is going on here?" Aria shouted out, pushing the blue girl off her and sitting up, only to receive a water ballon to the face. Luckily, the milk-filled plastic projectile failed to explode, and thus left the purple girl dry, though it did nothing to sooth her growing temper.

"I have no idea." Sonata replied honestly, wringing some milk out of her hair. "I walked out of my room to grab a granola bar, and the next thing I know I'm being attacked by the invisible giggler!"

"The invisible giggler?" Aria asked, struggling not to face palm.

"Well, I haven't seen them, and they always giggle! What else was I suppose to call our mysterious attacker of mystery, hmm?"

Aria didn't bother with a reply, instead focusing on the pile of clothes, or rather, the orange hair that was peeking over the top of the mound of clothes. "You have got to be kidding me." Aria muttered under her breath, before quickly and quietly making her way towards the pile of clothes.


Norm laughed with glee as he watched the hockey players flounder about in the large pool that had formerly been a hockey ring, spectators and officials scrambling about trying to help the miserable Canadian sports men out of the water. With a sinister smirk and a snap, a octopus the size of a minivan gonged into existence and began grabbing at the players. With it's eight great tentacles, the spineless monster began dragging the screaming Canadians to their watery doom.

Satisfied with his work, Norm gonged himself from the hockey ring to a random Canadian town. Using his great magic once more, Norm turned every Canadian in the town, which was basically everyone, into a bear, before gonging all the new bears into the next town over, where they proceeded to run wild.

"There's nothing like going on a rampage through Canada to relax." Norm sighed happily, floating lazily over the carnage bellow. He watched the carnage for a few minutes, enjoying the pain of the country he hated most. Occasionally he would unleash some new twist, a tornado, earthquakes, tidal waves (never mind they were in the middle of the country), or some other natural disaster to add to his twisted fun.

Norm let out a loud laugh as a tornado sucked up a number of bears and Canadians, before depositing the people in a zoo habitat and the bears just outside. However, the Canada hating genie was brought out of his jovial mood when he suddenly felt it again. It being a large magical presence trying to teleport into the universe. With a sigh he redirected the incoming magical into a random universe. Again. This was the third time today, and he knew he would have to do it again. It was beginning to become annoying.

"Alright, that's done. Now, what should I do next…" Norm suddenly felt a very familiar tugging sensation. "Aww, smoof." Shoulders slumping, Norm snapped his fingers, gonging away, returning Canada to the way he found it, unfortunately.

Reappearing in the living room of his three mistresses, Norm shoved his sunglasses into their proper position and crossed his arms. "Alright, I'm here, what do you… What in Barbra Eden's fabulous career happened here?" The almighty genie shouted in shock at the absolute disaster that was formerly known as a house. It was trashed, wrecked, and the other occupants were no better. Sonata was caked in trash, her cloths rumpled and hair in disarray. Aria wasn't much better, missing half a pants leg, hair a mess, and had bite marks all along her arms. Both girls were leaning against a door Norm knew to lead to a rather large closet with looks of horror on their faces, Aria was franticly rubbing her necklace. The door was rattling ominously, like some rabid beast was trying desperately to claw it's way out.
