It probally won't be good because I just wanted to get this one out of the way. SRU:Dave will hit the list tomorrow night & should be better than this one! This story takes place a little bit before, during, & after the events in SRU:Joseph. Here it is SRU: Jake Jake was the kind of a guy you would never want to be. He was 16, only 160lbs., & only 5'4. In other words he was a wimp. The kids at school were so mean that they never talked to him & when they did they said mean things to him. Jake wasso lonely. Then one day he came upon a shop in a hole in the wall section of the mall called Spells R Us. Jake decided to enter the store. The tiny doorcharm made a quiet ring sound, not as annoying asthose other kinds that most small shops have that drive you crazy. As he looked around he saw many old & odd items like lamps, rings, old books, & even halloween costumes. As Jake looked round the store he noticed a old man coming out from the back. He was shocked when he saw that the old man was wearing wjhat appeared to be a bathrobe. Jake blinked but it was true the man was really wearing it,it wasn't his eyes. "Hello Jake." The old man said as he looked at the kid."Before you ask I know your name because I am a wizard." Jake looked at him oddly. He didn't believe this man could actually be a wizard. Jake looked at the old man's counter. There was a old lamp. The old man noticed that Jake was curious & spoke. "That is a magic lamp as in genies." He said with a big grin. "Yeah right." Jake said. "Look I'll give you the lamp for free, then you will discover that it is for real." Jake looked at the old man with a confused look. "Look Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, I make my business then. I can afford to give you a magic lamp for free its no big deal." Jake couldn't argue with that. He took the lamp & left the small shop. The old man smiled & was about to back into the back when a lady came in with her son. "How may I help you?" "My son has been doing things that are unsatisfactory like touching women in certain areas, & looking up their dresses ?I was hoping you knew away to teach him a lesson I sure don't." Her son was struggling as she kept a grip on his hand. "Yes I do." The old man said witha small smile. "It depends on what you want. Do you want him as a animal, a object, a woman?" The wizard could tell that the woman was tired of how her son had been acting so he wasn't to suprised when she said she wanted her 10 yr old son as her 10 yr old daughter. A few minutes later the lady left the store witha cute 10 yr old blonde wearing a pink dress. The old man thought about Jake & his lamp & then went back to the back room. Jake arrived at home and went straight to his bedroom. He turned on the lights & rubbed the lamp hoping it wasn't a trick. Suddenly smoke came from the lamp. It began to form into a figure. It was a genie. A ugly male genie. He also looked like he was dumb. "Hello master, you have 3 wishes." Said the dumb genie. "Ok. Lets see I don't feel like going to the baseball game today so I wish it would rain Cats and Dogs." "As you wish master." Jake ran to the window & couldn't believe what he saw, he turned to the genie. "Oh man I didn't mean that literally. I better be careful how I phrase my wishes." Jake sat down on his bed. He sighed. "I wish I was handsome so all the woman in the world would love me." Suddenly he felt his muscles grow, He grew another 3 inches & his hair became blonde. He looked in the mirror & smiled. After thinking a little more he then decided to go outside. He saw alot of women. They all liked him, but not one could go on a date with him. "Women." He thought. "I wish I understood them." Before he could realize his mistake he could feel himself sahrinking back to his old heighth & his blonde hair growing. Suddenly a huge weight was on his chest. "OH NO!" he screamed in a female's voice. He ran to his room & looked into the mirror. She admired her reflection & smiled. The next day she awoke & went straight to her closet & picked out a black dress & black heels. She then went to the kitchen, picked up her purse & went to the mall. Janet walked past the spells R Us store. The old man saw her go right by. "I guess she doesn't remember me." He said as he laughed. A few stores away Joseph, now Julie was walking past a lot of guys whio were staring at her beautiful body & she smiled as she entered the store Spells R Us. OK I just wanted to throw her in so everyone would know I am trying to connect the SRU tales I have done together. Please let me know what ya think.
