Description

David awoke in his bed the next morning. He really thought all the craziness that happened during the last two days was really just a dream: the break-in in his apartment and the disappearance of his flatmate Martha; a strange hunt for a literal cat burglar in the hotel and finally him being turned into a woman by a tricky genie. But one quick look around brought him back to reality: the flat was still stripped empty and he was still in a female body. For a moment, David just wanted to turn around and fall asleep again, but then he remembered what had happened yesterday...
After waiting with Amelia in the Hotel du Lac until the police had left (and really getting an idea about what working as a maid meant), they returned to the Grandhotel. There, they summoned Sami at once. He still remembered the conversation:

“Sami, why did you turn me into a woman? I wished to be hidden from them police, not to become a maid!” he yelled at Sami. This was a mistake.

“Oh, you would have preferred to be turned into an inanimate object? Because that was my alternative choice. Besides, it worked, the police didn’t catch you.”

“I hate you genies! Can’t you just grant a wish without twisting it? You can never be trusted!” David complained.

“Listen, bo… eh, girl. If you are not specific enough with your wish, we simply have to interpret it. A wish must be as clearly formulated, just like a good order. Otherwise, the genie can only screw it up, since we can’t read your minds.” Sami calmly explained himself.

“That’s just nitpicking. You were there too. You knew what I needed!” David yelled at Sami.
“Well, you can still make another wish. But be careful what you wish for.” Sami replied seemingly annoyed.
“I won’t give you the chance to screw up my life even more!” David shook his fists at Sami.
“Maybe you should get used to sitting on the toilet then, girl!” Sami replied angrily.

“GUYS!” Amelia stepped between the two. “Don’t forget that there’s still one genie who depends on you. On both of you. We have to work together if we want to rescue Martha. So let’s make a truce until we get Martha back. Agreed?”

Sami and David looked at each other. “Agreed.” both mumbled.

“Alright. Sami will you turn David back to his male self.” Amelia asked with a stern voice.

“I will, but not now. Once Martha is rescued I will change you back. That will make sure YOU will do all that is necessary to rescue Martha.” Sami replied.

“And how do I know that YOU will keep your word?” David asked. “Especially since you showed me that genies can’t be trusted, Sami. Listen, if it wasn’t for Martha, I wouldn’t have asked you for help at all.” David replied.

“GUYS!” Amelia interrupted again. “I’m sick of your constant fighting. Sami, can you place the wish right now on David, so he will be turned back the moment Martha is saved?”

“If he wishes for it in the right way, yes.” Sami replied.

“I will do that wish. “ Amelia grabbed Sami’s lamp. She thought for a moment how to word the wish, then she rubbed. “Sami, I wish that David will turn back to his male form the way he was just before you turned him into a woman in the precise moment Martha is saved and besides that, you won’t do anything with that wish.”

“Your wish is granted!” Sami said. While Sami blinked, David felt a strange feeling rushing through his body. “Now it’s your turn, David. Find Martha’s whereabouts.” With these words, Sami returned to his lamp.

Together with Amelia, David called the police, asking if they’d knew something new about the thief. But they couldn’t help them. So Amelia made a proposal: she would loan him some of her casual clothes, then the two would go into town and have some fun. Strangely, David agreed and so, he spent the rest of the day with Amelia. They spend some time at the shopping district and mostly used the time to talk. All in all, David had to admit that it didn’t feel so bad at all to be a woman. He had a great time with Amelia and when they returned to the hotel, he was confident they'd rescue Martha soon.

Now, it was the next morning and David still had no idea how to find Martha. But when he checked his mobile, he found a voice-message from an unknown number. David listened to the message and to his surprise it was Martha’s voice. She told him exactly where she was now. Ten seconds later, David was dressed and on his way to the hotel.

At the hotel, David first searched for Amelia. He found her cleaning one of the rooms. “Hey Amelia. Guess what: Martha has sent me a message. I know where she is right now. Come on, we'll go and rescue her now.”

“David, I have to work. I can’t go with you now. You have to go with Sami alone.”

“Sami? I don’t trust him.” David replied angrily.

“Better take him with you. If you have to fight the cat girl, you would need support even if you were a man.” Amelia argued. “Besides, you quite dropped a brick when you talked to Sami yesterday.”

“I did?” David was quite surprised.

“Sami was right when he said that your wish was so vague that he had to interpret it. But you lashed out at him. No wonder he got angry. Maybe it was your new female attitude, but still, your behavior was really bad.” Amelia said calmly.

“You… are right.” David admitted. “Thank you, Amelia. I’ll go and summon Sami now.”

“Good luck. Get your own body back. I miss the male David.” Amelia waved him goodbye.


David rushed to Sami’s lamp and summoned the blue genie. “Hello Sami. I know where Martha is right now. Do you care to grant me another wish?”

“If you word it carefully.” Sami said.

“Alright. I wish that the two of us would be teleported with all our clothes and belongings we are currently carrying on us, including your lamp, to the hotel “Zum Schwanen” in Ränggersdorf.” David state his wish.

“You wish is granted.” Sami blinked and both disappeared from the hotel.


At the hotel “Zum Schwanen” in Ränggersdorf, Franziska was frantically preparing to leave. The heist last night was a success, although it didn’t work as smoothly as she hoped for. At least there was an unexpected, free snack in it. But she got the diamond and now she had to leave town. Suddenly, there was a hard knock on the door. A harsh, male voice shouted: “Police. Open immediately.” Franziska ran to the window. Outside, a group of police cars were racing towards the hotel. Franziska felt her panic rise. Another bang on the door. She rubbed the lamp and Martha appeared. “Quick, Martha, I need my final wish. I wish that you save me from being caught by the police!” she wished.

Martha took on a wicked smile. “You wish is granted!” she said and blinked.

Franziska felt the magic taking hold on her body. She felt the world growing bigger around her. The magic was squeezing her in a new, more compact form. At the same time, her appearance was changed. Her catty facial features became even more pronounced. Her clothes changed too into an Egyptian attire. Finally the material of her body changed into black stone with gold engravings. When all was finished, Franziska had been transformed into a small statue of an Egyptian cat goddess. Franziska tried to say something, but she was trapped in her new form with no hope of being released.

A second later, there was a click and the door swung open. Sami and a maid entered the room. Martha rushed towards Sami and embraced the blue genie. “I’m so glad you are here. Franziska, the thief, she did such terrible things. And I’m responsible because I granted that wish.” She cried.

Sami braced her tightly. “Don’t worry. You are not responsible for the wishes of your mistresses. You have no choice but to grant them.”

Martha calmed down a bit. “I’m so glad you are here. But how did you find me? Where’s David?”

“I’m here!” the maid said.

Martha was astonished. “Is that you, David?”

“Yeah. I worked with Sami to rescue you. Without all the wishes he granted for me, we couldn’t have succeeded. Still , he twis… interpreted one of my wishes and now, I’m a woman. But he promised to turn me back once we saved you, right Sami?” David explained. Sami nodded.

“Come here, David!” Martha stepped back from Sami and opened her arms. When she embraced David, magic filled the room again. David felt the wish being triggered and he reverted to his male form. He embraced Martha as if he never would let her go again.

“Sami, David, I’m so proud of both of you. You worked together to rescue me. And you succeeded.” Martha said to her friends. She took David in one arm and Sami in the other. “Let’s go home.”

“Sure!” David said. “But what happened to the thief?”

“She made her final wish and I … eh interpreted it!” Martha explained.

Suddenly, they heard steps from outside the room. “It seems, the real police has arrived.” Sami said. “Quick, David, wish us out of here.”

“Martha, I wish that you teleport all three of us back to our own hotel, now!” David stated his wish. With a blink, the three disappeared from the room.
