"What are we going to do!?" Matt shouted, sitting on the sofa. "We have to save them!"

"Yes, I'm aware of that," Sophie said. "But we need to be cautious. Lumiosa and Alexis can't undo what Alex has done. He'd have to un-wish it himself."

"Well we can't do that!" Matt shouted. "Or do you want us to give up our genies!?"

"Of course I don't, but it's the only solution I can think of."

"Oh, and then what? Without Lumiosa and Alexis to protect us, we'll be sitting ducks for Alex. Who knows what he'd do to us!"

"Well what do you suggest we do then?"

"I don't know..."

The two genies sat in silence, watching the two humans as they argued. Alexis and Lumiosa's minds were racing, trying to think up a solution to their situation. Alexis was cursing herself for allowing this to happen. She'd advised Sophie to put her parents, but not bothered with her friends. And she should have gotten Matt to do something with his family and friends too.

She looked over at Lumiosa, who she could tell was greatly pained by not being able to help her Master. Alexis liked to think she wasn't like her, but at the same time, she too was hurt that Sophie and Matt were in this situation. She wished she knew what to do. But right now, she too couldn't think of any option besides surrendering themselves to Alex, which didn't bode well for anyone.

"Sophie, Matt, I'm not sure how to say this, but I think..." Alexis began. "I think it might be a better idea for you to not surrender us."

"How the f.u.c.k do you expect that to help!?" Matt shouted.

"Because it's like you said," Alexis explained. "If you surrender us, you'll be sitting ducks to Alex's power. He'll be unlikely to free your friends and family, and he'll probably torture both of you."

"So what, we just let them die!?" Sophie shouted.

"Master...Miss Sophie..." Lumiosa said timidly. "I'm sorry, but...I agree with Alexis..."

"Lumiosa, not you too..." Matt said.

"I'm sorry Master, but I do not wish to see you harmed!" Lumiosa cried out. "Alex Brookman would hurt you."

"So it's hopeless then?" Matt said. "There's nothing we can do?"

"The rules of genies are very clear," Alexis said. "You can't interfere with someone else's wishes. There's no hope."

"Well...maybe we could get the society to help us?" Matt suggested.

"How do we know they're not in on it?" Sophie said.

"It wouldn't help," Alexis said. "We could have a thousand genies on our side, and we still wouldn't be able to undo Alex's wishes. Those are the rules."

Sophie and Matt hugged, both of them trying to hold back their tears at what was happening. Alexis laid back on the floor and shut her eyes, in order to desperately try to think of a solution, but none came to her. She opened her eyes, and they were drawn to a sc.r.a.p of paper, that was lying under the sofa. It was just out of her reach, so she willed it to come towards her. She looked at it, and her eyes widened.
