Coach smiled as he picked up the lamp. The owner at the shop had warned him of the lamp being empty. He mentioned that it was cursed to pull in anyone who rubbed it. But whoever received it afterward, would be given its fruits and then some. Coach hadn't planned for what he would wish for first. He wasn't sure if it would be too early. But he didn't want IYNH to be stuck forever in the lamp, unless he wanted it.
Coach rubbed the lamp and saw smoke come out. It was working!
Like a sauna, the smoke billowed out in greater and greater amounts. It was coming out faster than he expected. Soon, he saw (IYNH) appear. He was the same age, but now had a bit of a belly on his hips. Nothing like his own, but certainly enough to caress and slap for effect.
(IYNH) looked down at Coach, "So I guess you got me out to give you a wish. Can't say I blame you, but you could've tried someone else than me!"
Coach took a deep breath, "I agree. I honestly didn't think it would work. But as you can see, it did."
(IYNH) nodded as he flew down to Coach, "It sure did! And according to this curse, I can only give you three wishes. You better make them count!"
Coach smiled, "Well, be thankful I am generous, (IYNH)!"
(IYNH) looked annoyed, "Yeah, generous enough to pull me into this lamp for your pleasure! And now, I'm stuck in here forever."
Coach smiled even more, "Again, be thankful I'm generous (IYNH). For my first wish is this: Whoever makes their third wish is required to find a new person to replace the current genie in the lamp within 24 hours. If they do not, they will be the new genie."
(IYNH) eyes got big as he saw a new marking appear on the lamp as if to signify the contract.
"Wait, but that means you are on the hook?!" said (IYNH).
Coach smiled, "Kid, it's what is right. If you rub this lamp, you should be willing to let others enjoy the spoils and take over. If you aren't, then you deserve to be taught a lesson."
(IYNH) nodded, but was still shocked, "I see. Thanks for that. You want any other wishes?"
Coach smiled, "Well, I do have one that I can think of now."
(IYNH) smiled, "I think I know what that will be.."
Coach laughed, "You do? I wish that...."
What does Coach wish for?
