Chapter 11: Norm the Genie

Danny and Tucker are at Tucker's home wondering about how to turn Danny back into a (sort of) normal half-ghost. Actually, Tucker is thinking about new wishes. "I wish I had an exotic milkshake like those you used to afford when your parents were billionaires."

Danny grants the wish. Tucker tastes it. "Yuck. I should stick to traditional flavors."

"Then why did you ask for one of those?" Danny asks.

"It was the only way to feel like wealthy since you can't give me a million dollars." Tucker answers.

Before Danny has a chance to reply, he and Tucker look at the window and notice something crashing at the yard. They go outside and find a lava lamp. "How did it get here?" Tucker asks.

Fairy World

"Tooth Fairy, where's my urinal cake?" Jorgen asks.

"I threw it away, Jorgen." She answers. "You need to outgrow your obsession with the 1970's."

Amity Park

"I have no clue." Danny answers.

Tucker then rubs the lamp. Smoke comes out of it and a GONG is heard. Tucker and Danny then see what they initially think is a ghost wearing Arabian-style clothing. The 'ghost' is using some sort of air purifier when he notices Danny and Tucker staring at him. He then picks a Genie Intro card. "Uh, which one of you rubbed my lamp?" Norm asks.

"I did." Tucker raises his hand.

"In that case," He starts reading the card. "Hello, insert human's name here, I am all powerful genie," He snaps his finger to make a huge sign reading 'Norm – Magical Genie' appear. "Norm. And you are entitled to three wishes."

"Sorry, Norm, but I already have a Fairy Godparent." Tucker replies, pointing at Danny.

"Yeah, I know. Fairy Godparents are useful." Norm replies. "But, have I told you my wishes are," Norm GONGs another sign. "rule-free?"

"Tucker, remember what Jorgen told us about genie wishes." Danny warns.

"Danny, which part of 'rule-free' didn't you get?" Tucker asks. "Norm, I wish I got a kiss from one of the finalists of the Miss Universe pageant."

Norm GONGs an old woman who kisses Tucker. "Yuck. Norm, I wished for a Miss Universe finalist."

"You didn't specify which year." Norm replies and laughes. "Hahahahahahahahahahaha."

Even Danny laughes as well. "Tuck, you should admit you kinda deserved that. You should wish me back to normal."

"And lose my other source of wishes?" Tucker asks. "Are you crazy?"

"So, that's how you see me, Tucker?" Danny angrily asks. "Now I get why genies like Norm or Desiree like to twist wishes."

"You know Desiree?" Norm asks, surprised. "Then this must be Amity Park. I bet you guys had initially mistaken me for a ghost."

"You got that right, Norm." Danny comments.

"Ahem." Tucker gets some attention. "I still have two wishes left. And I wish Paulina would kiss me in the mouth."

"You're the boss." Norm replies. "Sort of." He then GONGs an ugly girl who kisses Tucker.

"Ewwwww. Who's that girl?" Tucker asks, disgusted.

"That's Paulina Gomez, of New York." Norm answers. "You never said which Paulina you wanted."

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe. He's got you again, Tucker." Danny comments.

"Shut up, Danny." Tucker retorts. "As for you, Norm, you'd better not make any mix-ups with my last wish. I wish there would be no school for the rest of the week."

Norm snaps his finger and a huge GONG makes all schools in Amity Park disappear.

"What happened?" Danny asks.

"Tucker wished 'no school for the rest of the week' so, there will be no school for the rest of the week." Norm replies and then throws his lamp at Danny. "Think fast."

Thinking fast, Danny catches the lava lamp, which sucks him inside it.

"Danny?" Tucker asks, shocked. "Why did...?"

"Once the third wish is granted, the lamp sucks the closest source of magic available, which, this time, was that clueless friend of yours until another wisher rubs it." Norm explains. "Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna destroy Canada." He then GONGs a Canadian Mountie uniform for himself. "They've had it good for too long."

Luckily for our heroes, right after they had studied more about genies, Tucker had wished for a Fenton Thermos made of smoof. Tucker then uses it to capture Norm.

"Oh, fezes." Norm moans. "This is made of smoof, right? There's only three things that can trap me. Magical lamps, the charms of Barbara Eden and smoof made stuff."

"Exactly." Tucker maliciously replies. "And I won't let you out unless you agree to grant me three more wishes."

Not wanting to be out-jerked like he was when a buck-toothed kid made a similar offer, Norm decides to make a counter-proposition. "One wish."

"Three."

"One."

"Three."

"One."

"Three."

"ONE!"

"Two."

"OOOOONE!"

"Fine." Tucker angrily replies. "One." Norm is automatically GONGed out of the Thermos. "Okay, you've got one more wish. But remember, you have to be careful with it. And you're just at your teens while I'm over fifty thousand years old. Come on, you can do it. And, by that, I mean you can't. Hwahahahahahaha."

Tucker thinks about it. "I wish I had three more wishes."

Norm sadly grants the wish. GONG. "How did you know you could use the wish for that? We usually tell our masters they can't."

"I know." Tucker replies. "I've checked it at Mr. Crocker's website."

"You tell one human about it and soon the whole human race seems to know it." Norm moans. "So, what's your new first wish gonna be, techno-geek?"

"Let's see." Tucker says. "I need help to outsmart a fifty-thousand-year-old genie. I got it. I wish for a magical lawyer to help me."

"Oh, damn." Norm replies and GONGs a fairy dressed on a business suit carrying five cards and with poker chip floating in front of him. "Five aces, right." The fairy sarcastically comments until taking notice of his new environment. "Norm." He comments.

"Great." Norm sarcastically comments. "Him again."

The fairy then turns his attention to Tucker. "Hello, I'm Fairy Mason, your lawyer." Fairy Mason quickly introduces himself. "How may I help you?"

TWENTY LEGAL MINUTES LATER

"Now sign here, here and here that Tucker's wish of winning a million dollars, Paulina Sanchez loving him, Danny the Fairy being turned back into the halfa known as Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom, being released from the lamp, you being sent back there and all the effects of the first three wishes you granted him being undone will be granted." Fairy Mason tells Norm.

"I still hate being out-jerked." Norm comments as he singns Tucker's written wish and snaps his fingers. Danny is being released from the lamp and GONGed back into a halfa, Norm is one again trapped in the lamp and the schools reappear.

"Thank you, Tucker." An exausted Danny comments.

"It's not over yet, Danny." Tucker replies. A GONG is heard and a Texas-style car appears. A man dressed on Texas-style clothing leaves the car. "Howdy! I'm Doug Dimmadome!"

"Doug Dimmadome?" Danny and Tucker ask in unison.

"Exactly." He replies. "Doug Dimmadome. Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome and the Dimmsdale Lottery. Which one of you is Tucker Foley?"

Danny points at Tucker, who raises his hand. "Tucker Foley, despite not being from Dimmsdale, you won ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!"

"Yeah!" Tucker exclaims. Paulina then shows up. "Tucker, you look so cute with that money." She comments.

Doug then picks up his camera. "Tucker Foley, what will you do with the money?" He asks.

"He'll save it for college." A man shows up and replies.

"I agree." The woman following him adds.

"And who are you?" Doug Dimmadome asks.

"We're Tucker's parents." Mr. Foley answers.

"And we won't let our son waste this money on anything stupid." Mrs. Foley adds as she and her husband take the check away.

"Okay, then." Doug replies. "Bye."

"We'll talk when you get your money back, loser." Paulina replies, also leaving.

"Hehehehehehe. Norm still got the last laugh after all." Danny comments.

"Shut up, Danny." Tucker replies.

"You're no longer the boss of me, Tuck." Danny retorts. "I'm worried about what to do with this lamp."

"I'll handle it." Jorgen announces as he BOOMs himself around. "I like stuff from the 1970's."

"Mr. Von Strangle, now that Danny is no longer a fairy, will I get a new one?" Tucker asks.

"No, stupid puny human." Jorgen replies. "You only had one because of a rule-free wish granted by a genie. You all will be allowed to remember this all but promise to keep it a secret."

Danny and Tucker nod in agreement.

At his office, Vlad is unhappy with the new events. "Well, I'll just wait for another chance." The fruitloop tells 'his sisters's' cat.
