Genie, in a strange way, could feel Minerva touch her lamp as if it was her own skin. It electrified her, and forced her right out the Lamp's spout, back into the world and standing between two sisters - Minerva and Lillynette - who each held Genie's lamp.
"Oh greetings, Master, I am the Genie of the Lamp. For freeing me I shall grant you five wishes that your heart desires." Genie said with a bow. Strangely, though, neither sister looked at her, preferring instead to stare at each other.

"You're just a kid! And kid's can't be a Genie's Master!"

Once again, Genie was interrupted. "That's stupid," Lily said, "and I wish --"
Hearing her sister start to wish made Minerva's eyes go wide and she turned to Genie quickly and started to make a wish of her own . . .
