Kelsey said, “She could defeat him if she had the Scooby gang with her.”
“Scooby-Doo?” he asked, incredulous. “Yeah, because he and Shaggy get super powers from toking it up in the back of the Mystery Machine.”
“For your information, the Scooby gang consists of Buffy’s best friend, Willow, who is an insanely powerful witch who almost destroyed the world. And then there’s–”
“Potions and charms?” he asked, raising his voice. He waved his hands in front of her face. “Hello! The first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve? The dude reversed time. Can Buffy or Fred or Wilma do that?” He looked at her with a wistful expression.
Grunting, Kelsey rolled her eyes, looking furious. “Who gave Superman all those powers? A genie from a bottle?”
Alex broke out laughing and turned to find Marisa doing the same. It was amazing to finally have her in his life the way that he’d always dreamed.
“A genie?” Damon asked. “Okay, you’re on a deserted island, you find a magic lantern, and you rub it. A genie pops out and offers you three wishes. What would you wish for?”
“I’ll need only one wish: a boat to get outta there. Why?”
Damon’s eyebrows lifted in amazement and one side of his lips twisted into a miraculous smile, free of cynicism.
“Oh, shit!” Alex said.
“What’s wrong?” asked Marisa.
Damon turned to Alex. “Did you hear that? Out of all the women I’ve asked that question to, your sister comes up with the right answer. What are the odds?”
“No way,” Alex said, approaching his friend to dislodge his exhilaration. “Not my sister. Anyone else on Earth. Just not my sister.”
