Good.

[That's all the warning that Gina gets before Tifa whirls the girl around, essentially hurling her towards the door that's very quickly closing up on them. Hopefully the sand will help to break some of that fall, and Tifa follows not close behind, tumbling out of the door after Gina just as the jagged-toothed maw slams shut. Tifa's own fall is anything but graceful, having been more worried about Gina than herself, and she lands on her side with sand in her eyes, hair, and mouth, and almost completely out of breath.

And several feet away from Gina, but the dust is so thick that she can't make her out in the fog, and she immediately feels that sharp panic jab at her stomach.]


Gina!?

[She's a little sore from her own fall, with an ache already forming in her side that keeps her down a little longer, but through clenched teeth and a small laugh, she manages to nod and sit up.]

Yeah. I'll be fine.

[Tifa turns slightly to watch as the cave closes up behind them, the entrance buried beneath the sand and rubble that had crumbled away on the inside until it looks like nothing more than carved sand.]

Sorry. I should've seen that coming. Read too many treasure hunting books to a four year old...ow—!

[As she tries to stand, she stumbles, that dull ache turning into something sharper.]

[Tifa offers her a rueful smile through one eye, the other screwing shut to help with some of the ache as her hand goes to clutch at her side where it's centered.]

It's not. I should be okay.

[But she offers Gina her arm anyway so that she can sling it over the girl's shoulder. Yeah, she's had enough of being the hero for one day.]

You still have the lamp?

[Tifa looks down at the lamp with a laugh and offers Gina a pat on her opposite shoulder—where her hand currently rests.]

I wonder what we're supposed to do with it.

[The only objectives Tifa could figure out was get the treasure and get out, but...]

You think if you rubbed it, a genie would come popping out of it?

Guess so!

[Tifa lifts her free hand to the lamp but pauses just before she even touches it.]

Let's do it together. That way, if the genie does have three wishes, we can share them.

[That's how genies work, right!? It's just a story anyway!]

Here goes nothing...!

[Tifa gives one side of the lamp a little rub at the same time that Gina does. She half expects it to start shaking or speaking to them as soon as they do, but...

...

....

...........




Nothing happens, and she tries not to let her disappointment show too much.]


Oh, I thought... I was hoping it would actually work.

[Her hand drops to her side, so she completely misses that it's started to vibrate a little in Gina's hands.]

Whoa—!

[Tifa isn't sure anymore whether she was actually expecting a genie to pop out of it, but when that puff of smoke cracks over them, it startles her so much that she almost falls back a step and drags Gina along with her.

The genie is big and blue with great golden cuffs on his hands, and a long black ponytail streaming from the back of his head. He looks... well, exactly like a genie would in one of Marlene's storybooks, and she stares up at him with a look of bewilderment.

"Congratulations! You've completed all three objectives! And now, one wish for one objective. What'll it be!?"]
