" I want to stop by home first but then I don't know. " Melanie said.
" No,worries thanks Sherine. So what are you looking forward to doing when we get to Ridge City. " Cadpig said.

"Well, Melanie. We are going to stop by Pasquale's restaurant, probably by dinner time. Hopefully." Rosalina said, turning her head to Melanie as she and the others flew further on ahead. "Heh, I could fly for the rest of my life. My feet would like that, with all the pain on being on them 24/7." She wriggled her legs, feet, and toes so as to avoid them falling asleep. She wasn't in the mood to feel pins and needles in mid-air.
Meanwhile in the lamp, Shadow got up onto his feet and walked around. He didn't want to have his bare feet fall asleep. The carpeting felt soft under the soles of Shadow's feet. "I've been thinking," he said, "whilst inside the lamp, we should be barefoot, so to avoid scuffing the lamp's interior with footwear. Like you could put your shoes in a safe place, and come here to hang out and to relax your feet."

"Pasquale's restaurant will still be open by the time we make it back home to Ridge City," said Flo, "so we all will get to have dinner there tonight. I just have to get Tony at our apartment before we go to the restaurant."
She looked back at Samir, Dalia, Akram, and Sherine.
"I have a good feeling that you'll like Ridge City, especially Pasquale's restaurant," she said to them. "His restaurant is an Italian restaurant, and the food there is great."
In the lamp, Mukhtar lied back down on the drawer bed.
"My shoes are already off, so I'm feeling really good right here," he said.
"Sure," said Hasib, and he took off his shoes and set them aside. "It's probably going to be another few hours before we reach our destination and exit this lamp."
Over an hour had passed, and the group finally reached land. It wasn't just any land, though; it was the United States of America.
"Well, here we are, everyone," Flo said to the group. "Welcome to the United States of America."
Samir, Dalia, Akram, and Sherine looked down to see the buildings, cars, and activity going on amongst the many people there.
"So, this is the United States," said Samir.
"It looks very busy down there," said Sherine.

" Okay does Pasquale do Tiramisu? " Melanie said.
" Home sweet home, it is maybe after the restaurant I'll take you guys for a surprise, it's where me and Jarrod hang out every weekend." Cadpig said.
" Yeah if you want to call it busy? There are so many lazy people sitting at home doing nothing." Raine said.

"Well, Tiramisu is an Italian dessert, so probably yes." Rosalina said, craning her head at Melanie. "That is . . . if he has the recipe for it."
"Pretty soon we'll be out of this lamp, but I can be certain that we may end up coming back in here." Shadow said.

"Pasquale definitely does tiramisu," said Flo.
"That's not what I see," Sherine said to Raine as she pointed down at the activity going on in a city. "Look. There are lots of people walking, playing, doing construction work, and getting around places in varieties of transportation. I've read some books about these things back at the palace. I think they're called cars, trucks, scooters, and bicycles."
"So, will we make happen the will to exit the lamp on our own when we arrive?" Hasib asked.
"We'll have to be ready for when it's time to get out," said Mukhtar, and he and Hasib put their shoes back on and stood up from the bed and seat, respectively. "I'd really like to come back into this lamp, but what would you say would be the right time to come back in?"
As Flo continued flying and holding the lamp, she reached a city that looked very familiar to her and looked down at it.
"This is it, everyone," she said to the group. "This is Ridge City."
"Nice place," Samir said as he looked down at the city from the magic carpet.
Moments later, Flo reached a two-story apartment building, with someone waiting outside an apartment on the top floor. That someone was Tony, a nineteen-year-old muscular male Dalmatian with solid black ears, no spots, a thick, brown mustache, and wears a red long-sleeved polo shirt, a blue pair of jeans supported by a black leather belt with a yellow buckle, and a black pair of boots. At first, he was looking at the photos of the inside of the palace of Shiradaba sent to him by Flo, but he then looked up from his iPhone and saw Flo and the others flying.
"What?" he said to himself, surprised at what he was seeing. "It can't be."
"Oh, look," Flo pointed out. There's Tony."
Flo landed on the second-story outdoor path of the apartment building.
"Hello, Tony," she said.
"Flo?" Tony said, surprised, and he saw some familiar faces with Flo. "Rosalina? Raine? Cadpig? Melanie?"
"And don't forget Shadow and Jarrod."
Tony obviously didn't see Shadow and Jarrod with Flo.
"And where are Shadow and Jarrod?" Tony asked.
"They're in here," Flo said as she held the magic lamp close to Tony.
Tony looked confused about this as he took a look at the lamp.
"It's impossible for them to fit into that teapot," said Tony.
"Teapot?" said Flo sharply. "This is a magic lamp!"
Samir, Akram, Dalia, and Sherine laughed at the fact that Tony mistook the lamp for a teapot, even though it is, in a way, shaped like one.

" Finally we are home. So what do you think of the place?" Raine said.
Cadpig called for Jarrod to come out of the lamp.
" Make yourselves at home. " Melanie said.

"Hmmmmm . . . maybe like until nightfall?" Shadow asked. "I'm sure Flo and the others would want us to spend the rest of the day outside of the lamp. OH! Maybe we could spend the night in the lamp!"
"Okie, we should get the others out of the lamp." Rosalina said to Flo. "I'm sure this will get them out. I wish that Shadow, Jarrod, Hasib, and Mukhtar get out of the lamp?" She wasn't sure that would get them out.

"So far, it's really nice," said Sherine.
"It really would be nice to spend the night in the lamp," Mukhtar said to Shadow and Jarrod. "What about your homes, though? What exactly are your homes like?"
The magic lamp responded to Rosalina's wish by sucking Shadow, Jarrod, Mukhtar, and Hasib out through the spout and making them stand on their own feet on the path outside rather than making them float on genie tails in the air.
"I was going to rub the lamp to get them out, but that works, too," said Flo.
"I see you've brought some new people with you," said Tony.
"Tony, these are residents of the palace in the city of Shiradaba. That's in Arabia."
"Arabia?"
Sherine landed on the path, Samir, Akram, and Dalia slid off the magic carpet to join the others on the path.
"Hello, Tony," Samir said as he reached out a hand to shake Tony's hand. "I'm Samir, the prince of Shiradaba."
The other palace residents went over to shake hands with Tony as Samir introduced them to him.
"The monkey is Sherine; she arranges flowers. The pink elephant is Dalia; she's a belly dancer. These tigers are Mukhtar, Hasib, and Akram; they are guards and have been my father figures for fifteen years."
"Nice to meet you all," said Tony, and he turned to see Shadow and Jarrod. "And it's nice to see you again, too, Shadow and Jarrod."

Cadpig ran to help Shadow and Jarrod just to see if they were okay." Hey Tony, nice to see you again." She said sticking her hand out to shake his hand.
Raine and Melanie greeted Tony and Melanie said to Tony " so do you work at Pasquale's if so how is business doing, I manage a club. "
Raine phoned Penny and said " Hey woman how are you? We are at Tony's apartment if you want to meet us we will most likely be at Pasquale's. "
Penny said " Okay man see you there. I'll bring Pepper too. "
Raine said to Flo " we are meeting Penny and Pepper at Pasquale's."

"So, shall we head off to the restaurant?" Rosalina asked the others. She wasn't particularly hungry, but she could eat. "Where is Pasquale's restaurant anyway?" The blonde Dalmatian's bare feet lifted off the ground, as her toes followed suit, as she floated in mid-air, a couple of inches off the ground.
Shadow meanwhile eyed to the lamp. As much as he wanted to go back inside, he knew he should at least spend some time outside. Maybe after having lunch at Pasquale's restaurant, and doing other things, he could ask if he could return to the lamp. "I'm famished." he said, as his bare feet left the ground. "Rosalina and I will be flying. I don't want our feet to ache."

"Hello," Tony said to Raine and Melanie after he was greeted by them. "Yes, I work at my papa's restaurant as a chef, but not today and the next few days."
"Well, the magic carpet isn't big enough for the rest of us to ride on," said Mukhtar.
"No problem," said Tony. "My papa's restaurant is just three blocks away from here. We can just walk there."
"I'll still be flying," said Flo, and she nodded at Raine, indicating that she's okay with meeting two more people at the restaurant.
"So will I," said Sherine.
The majority of the group walked downstairs to the ground, while Flo, Sherine, and the magic carpet flew down with them.
"Now, I will lead the way to the restaurant," said Tony, and he started making his way to Pasquale's restaurant, while the group followed him there. "So, you guys really came here from Arabia, did you?"
"Yes, they did," said Flo, "and we went there and met them there."
"I guess that explains why you're dressed as Princess Jasmine."
"And carrying this lamp."

" Are you flying too Tony? " Melanie said.
" Flying from Arabia with great people and new friends now here in America and Italian food, what an adventure." Cadpig said as she gave Jarrod his wristband so he could fly.
Jarrod joined her in the air.

Shadow and Rosalina followed behind the others, flying close with Flo and Sherine. They knew that they were asked to put on footwear when entering a restaurant but they said the exact same thing: that they do it for therapeutic reasons. And that they avoid getting athlete's foot. The two expected Pasquale to ask why they are barefoot and to put on shoes.
"You must be wondering how we are flying," Shadow said, but then realized that Cadpig gave Jarrod a wristhingych simply out of nowhere, "oh well, enjoy your flight."
"I might get either tortellini or tortelloni." Rosalina said after a while. "Does Pasquale's restaurant offer free breadsticks?"

"Flying?" Tony said to Melanie. "Me?"
He then turned to Shadow and Rosalina.
"I really am wondering how you guys are able to fly," he said, "and without being on that flying carpet. Breadsticks are offered for free by a member of the waiting staff as soon as customers are taken to a table by them."
The group made their way to Pasquale's restaurant, and they reached the place about twenty minutes later.
"Well, here it is," Tony said as he opened one of the front doors for the others. "My papa's restaurant."
