Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie is a film, book, and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean’s work is done through email, which means he doesn't have to go into the office.
On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found an empty Genie Bottle. Upon picking up this bottle, Jean became the bottle’s new genie-powered occupant. Not only was Jean turned into a genie, but the bottle turned him into what he believed a genie of the bottle should look like. Which, due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show, turned him into a busty blonde woman.
A junior engineer working for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.
Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil became Jeanie’s master.
This is the problem of being involved in a predestination paradox that you are also the cause of. Your past is your future. And with Jeanie being so dense, they STILL haven’t realized it yet.
Neil has to be Doc to Jeanie’s Marty.
Neil to Jeanie: If you don’t take you to the prom, the future as we know it no longer exists.
And what she gets drunk on. Remember Buck Tooth Willy from I Dream of a General? While Hazzard County was supposed to be in Georgia in the TV Series, the real Hazzard County is in Kentucky–which in real life is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio. I drove across the bridge connecting the city with Covington, KY several times back in the 1970s. I doubt if present-day Jeanie is dense enough to drink moonshine again knowingly, but how many teenage movies have you seen where the punch at a dance is spiked?
With Jeanie luck, they will spike the punch with good old Buck Tooth Willy moonshine. Then Jeanie will start sneezing and the guys will turn into girls and the girls will turn into guys. I love the idea, but, I don’t think that going to happen. But, I do like the idea of someone spiking the punch.
Comic delayed, so now we have time to set up a betting line on the cause of Jean’s poor memory. Top contenders include:
Spiked punch.
Predestination paradox.
wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
genie shenanigans.
Jeanie’s shenanigans.
Jean’s narcissism and self-absorption.
Flat-out denial
I’m more concerned about what happens to Neil. Jean is constantly reminding Neil he got Neil a prom date. Which implies Natalie. Which must have screwed up Neil’s relationship with Zoey, which Neil may not remember now, but is about to be reminded. I’m betting “I got you a prom date” will have a whole new meaning for Neil in the future.
Jean’s narcissism and self-absorption. This pretty much would explain just about everything about prom night.
Jean’s ego won’t permit him to believe that he got dumped.
Jean will absolutely believe that he dropped Rita for the blond transfer student.
Jean will absolutely believe he had a great time even if things go awry.
Going forward, Jean will repeat the fantasy in his mind until it becomes his absolute truth.
The memory of that night that Jean recalls will become the memory of that night that Jeanie recalls years later.
And I’m sure that Natalie will have an interesting time.
Ha ha ha! I love how she still hasn’t figured it out!
Also, I love how the characters look a little different than normal, to help them look like teenager versions of themselves.

> If you don’t take you to the prom, the future as we know it no longer exists.
This is such a twisted sentence. I love it.
I see we’re going by Gargoyles rules for time travel.
I guess it is all going to depend on how drunk Jeanie gets at prom.

I see that Jean is a fan of Princess Leia, or maybe not? May the Force be with you.
Soon, May the 4th be with you. Then, Return of the 5th. After that, Revenge of the 6th. We have a three day Star Wars celebration.
I see that the header illustration has updated a day or so early.

Woo-hoo! Jeanie in her Princess Leia May the Fourth Be With You costume as the header image.
