They raised their hands, and spoke."Let there be lamps," they said. "Let each-one of these lamps contain a genie, who shall be forever bound to serve the human race. Let it be that whichever human rubs the lamp shall be the Master of that genie until the moment of their death. Let it be that they shall possess magical powers, with which they shall grant the every wish of their Masters. But let there also be limitations on these wishes! Let it be that no human may use their genie to extend their own lifespan beyond its normal length. Let it be that the existence of the genies may not be revealed to the human race as a whole! Let it be that no Master may affect the physical or mental state of another Master or another genie. Let it be that no genie may affect their Master without their consent. And let it be that no Master may interfere with the work of the genies. They may not undo another Master"s wishes, nor prevent a genie from serving their Master."
As they spoke, the lamps began to appear. Thousands of lamps faded into existence as Matt and Sophie"s commands took shape.
"Look, there"s me!" Lumiosa shouted gleefully.
"Let these lamps go to the Earth, to begin their lives!" The teens ordered, and they watched the lamps fly away to the planet"s surface.
"It"s a spectacular sight," Matt said.
"Wonderful," Sophie smiled.
"And they saw that it was good," Alexis said, and the two teens smiled more. "You"ve still got things to do though."
Matt and Sophie nodded, and they jumped further forwards in time, three years behind the "present time". The younger Sophie was at Megan"s house, about ready to go home for the evening. She was going to call her mother to pick her up, when she suddenly felt an urge to walk home that evening. Past that big mansion.
Having done what they intended, they continued forwards in time. They arrived in the present time, in the bas.e.m.e.nt of Alex Brookman"s house. There, the safe containing his 4 lamps stood, impenetrable. Well, impenetrable to ordinary people. Matt and Sophie willed it to open, and it swung out effortlessly.
"My lamp!" Lumiosa exclaimed. Matt raised his hand, and it floated towards him, into his grasp.
"It feels cold," he said. "Like it did when I first got it."
"Lumiosa"s still dormant, waiting for a Master," Alexis said.

"So let"s go give her one," Sophie said.
They arrived in Matt"s neighbourhood, holding a package, which contained Lumiosa"s lamp, a note in Ancient Greek, and a lot of bubble wrap.
"Him, over there," Matt said, pointing to the postman. "He"s the one." They walked up to him, and attempted to hand him the parcel. "Deliver this."
"What?" The postman asked.
"Matt, you"re going about this wrong," Sophie told him, before addressing the postman. "You will deliver this parcel to 45 Gottes Way. You will forget our faces. Our faces are not important. Just do your job."
"Yes...do my job..." The postman agreed in a trance-like voice.
"See Matt, it just needed a woman"s touch," Sophie smiled.
The two teens returned to their own time, and cuddled up on Sophie"s bed.
