"Greetings Master, did you sleep well?" She asked him in her cheery voice.

"Uh yeah, I did..." Matt replied, coming to terms with the fact that he hadn't dreamed it all.

"I took the liberty of moving your duvet on top of you, to make you more comfortable. I hope this pleases you."

"Yeah...it does. Thanks."

"You are quite welcome, Master. Would you like to make another wish now?"

"Not right now," Matt replied, rolling off her, and onto his back.

He looked at the clock, which said it was nearly 11am.

"Wow, we slept for a long time, eh?"

"I did not sleep, Master."

"What? Why?"

"You did not dismiss me. I could not sleep without your permission."

"Aren't you tired?"

"Genies do not get tired, unless you would like me to."

"So you never sleep?"

"I would sleep if you commanded me to, and in my lamp I often pa.s.s into an unconscious state, particularly between Masters, but I myself do not need to sleep as humans do."

"Do you not have free will though? I mean, do you have desires?"

"My only desire is to serve my Master, who at the moment is you."

Matt sighed. This was one of the nicest girls he'd ever met, but he wondered if she was naturally like this, or some sort of mind control that all genies went through. He wondered if she'd always been a genie, or she'd been forced into it, and this cheeriness was her way of coping with it. He didn't want to ask her.

"Lumiosa, I don't have any more wishes for now, so you can go into your lamp and rest if you want to."

"Do you want me to?" Matt sighed again. This girl really did seem incapable of thinking for herself. That would have to be worked on.

"Yes, I want you to go into your lamp and rest," he told her.

"At once, Master," she nodded, before becoming a cloud of smoke, which was sucked into the lamp.

"I'd better hide this thing I guess," Matt said, picking up the lamp. He didn't think anyone else could rub it and take Lumiosa for themselves, but he didn't want to risk it. And besides, he didn't want his parents asking where he'd gotten an old lamp from. He put it under his bed, and then looked around for his clothes. He checked his floor, and then his drawers, and there was no sign of them. Matt eventually came to the conclusion that when he'd wished himself naked, Lumiosa had made his clothes vanish into thin air, rather than putting them away. Oh well, he could always wish them back.
