"Well I blew that," She said. "I really blew it."

"Yeah, you did," Alexis said.

"No-one asked you."

"I'm your genie. It's my job to make you happy. And you're not happy."

"I'm not happy because I nearly turned into as big a monster as those guys in the society. And because I've probably lost Matt now."

"Sophie, as a genie, I am bound to be honest to you. You may have given me the freedom to step away from this, but I am now choosing to reject that freedom, in order to disagree with you. Sophie, I think that you're not nearly as much a monster as you think. I think you're a good girl who gave in to temptation. Trust me, I know. I've met complete monsters. I've served them. I've suffered at their hands. And you, Sophie Swift, are not one of them. And I think you're lucky you're have Matt, and he's lucky to have you. You fix each-other's flaws. He stopped you from hurting that bully, and you stopped him from killing himself with s.e.x."

"You really think all that?"

"Of course I do. Sophie, you are one of the nicest people who has ever possessed me. It is the duty of a genie to make their Master happy, but I genuinely want you to be happy, because you have made me so happy. I want our years together to be ones I treasure for the rest of my existence. Ones I can think of when a future Master is punis.h.i.+ng me for some trivial thing."

"Alexis..." Sophie grabbed hold of her genie, and gave her a big hug. "Thank you."

"No, thank you, Sophie."

Sophie woke up the next morning alone, which was something she'd long since decided she didn't like. She generally preferred to wake up cuddling with someone, whether it was Matt, Alexis, or someone else she'd commanded into bed with her. But this morning, she was alone. Matt was mad at her, she'd commanded Alexis to go back into her lamp, and she wasn't in the mood for s.e.x with some random person.

"Good morning Mistress, would you like some breakfast?" Sophie turned around, to see Alexis sat there on a chair, holding a tray, with a big plate of pancakes and syrup.

"Alexis?" She said, yawning. "I told you to go into your lamp."

"You once told me that you consider me your best friend," Alexis said. "Best friends don't always do as they're told."

"You're also my genie, and you have to do what I say."

"Fine, if you're going to be like that, I'll just leave, and take these delicious pancakes with me."

"No...Alexis, I'm sorry," Sophie said.

"It's not me you should be apologising to. It's that boy you scared half to death, and the boy who had to stop you."

"Oh G.o.d, don't remind me...I f.u.c.ked up."

"It'll be fine. Now eat these pancakes I worked so hard to make."

"What, you didn't just conjure them up?"

"Yeah, but it took a lot of a sampling them to get the amount of syrup quite right."

"Swimming in it is the right amount." Alexis made the plate float over to Sophie, who started eating them.
