## Summary

The episode begins with a scene where Doctor H. looks like he plans to give some flowers to Miss Peach and is offering to go out on a date with her, but it turns out he is just talking to a poster of her outside for practice. Someone in the distance thinks Miss Peach is nearby, and a bunch of people run over Doctor H. trying to catch up with her, with a dinosaur stealing the flowers he was holding.

Meanwhile, Miss Peach is reporting on a stolen artifact from a museum; Big M. is at his hideout with Little M. watching the news report and has the artifact, which is an old bottle. Big M. notices the bottle suddenly starting to move and pops the lid off of it, revealing it to be a genie called the "Wishing Bottle Apopo". The genie explains to them that he will grant any three of their wishes, and Big M. tests him out by wishing for lots of money (which crushes them), wishing to be poor (which gives them ragged clothes), and then wishing themselves back to normal. Big M. is then informed that he has wasted all his wishes and gets angry, throwing the bottle out the door of his hideout.

Doctor H., who is frustrated by the people from earlier, is hit by the bottle and tries to get it out of his sight, lamenting that "even a bottle won't leave me alone", but it keeps coming back every time he does so. Doctor H. then notices writing on the bottle and opens it, summoning the genie. When told about being granted any three of his wishes, Doctor H. eagerly makes a wish that he is married to Miss Peach. The genie grants this wish, but with the warning that since the wish was made with no effort, he will have to pay for it.

Doctor H. wakes up to Miss Peach serving him breakfast in bed and realizes, to his excitement, that his wish came true. While he is sitting at the table staring at Miss Peach, Doctor H. is asked for something by Smart S., but he replies that he's busy, so Smart S. uses his magnetism to take the table away. Sweet S. asks for something as well and gets the same response from the Doctor, so she carries away the chairs he and Miss Peach were sitting on using her bubbles. When Doctor H. chases after Sweet S. telling her to bring the chairs back, he runs into Headmaster Tele, who has Happy S. with him and informs the Doctor that Happy S. has repeatedly bullied his classmates and teachers and destroyed the school, meaning he's going to be expelled. Some policemen then appear and enter the Supermen's house, explaining to Doctor H. that they believe Careless S. is supplying weapons to terrorists. Careless S. walks into the room with a new friend of his, and Doctor H. tells the police he can't possibly be a terrorist before he makes the friend accidentally drop a weapon, leading to lots of gunfire from the police officers. Doctor H. then sees Sweet S. and Smart S. leaving on an airship, and Happy S. tells him that they've become space pirates and that things have been strange since Doctor H. married Miss Peach, since he's way too occupied with her to do anything else. This prompts Doctor H. to summon the genie again.

Doctor H. is brought to a beach where the genie is relaxing. The Doctor clarifies to him that he wants to be Miss Peach's husband, but that he also wants the Supermen to behave themselves. The genie obliges, and Doctor H. finds himself sitting at the dinner table with the heroes, who display nice behavior such as giving Doctor H. their food to share and having good report cards on their school work. Doctor H. is happy, saying that this is the life he's dreamed of, and Miss Peach agrees and responds that he can now leave in peace. Doctor H. then coughs up blood and is horrified to learn that he's afflicted with an incurable disease and only has a few seconds to live. The Doctor manages just in time to summon the genie a third time.

The genie, who is eating dinner, is curious as to if Doctor H. is not enjoying the Supermen or Miss Peach, and Doctor H. angrily shouts that it's because he nearly died and wishes that he and Miss Peach lived to be a hundred years old. The genie reminds him of his warning about wishes made with no effort, and the Doctor wishes that he and his wife lived to be 100 years old. The genie obliges again, and Doctor H. is poofed to the entrance of his house and runs towards it, looking down at his feet and noticing he's slower than usual. When he looks back up, he sees Miss Peach at the door (who says that her kids were return home and waiting for dinner) and asks who she is, and realizing it's Miss Peach as an elderly lady, claims that the Miss Peach he loves is young and beautiful. Miss Peach says they're both close to a hundred years old, at which point Doctor H. panics and opens the magic bottle for the last time to undo all the wishes, worried about Miss Peach turning into a senior citizen.

Doctor H. is taken to the inside of his house, where he checks to see if anything has changed and is relieved to find everything is back to normal. Happy S. runs in with a bottle that looks exactly like the wishing bottle in his hand, and the Doctor hastily throws the bottle away, not realizing until he is asked by Happy S. that it was just soy sauce and not the Wishing Bottle Apopo.

## Trivia

* The Supermen are not seen transforming their Car Knights in this episode.
* It is unknown what happened to Careful S. when Doctor H. made the first wish.
* It is unknown what happened to the Supermens, Big M. and Little M., and other peoples during the one hundered year timeskip wish made by Doctor H. It is probably that'll likely take place on one hundered years after as if the *Happy Heroes* series were ended where the Supermens disappeared.
	+ Or for other peoples, including Big M. and Little M., they're have probably die from natural cases.
* As revealed in the near end of the episode, eldery Miss Peach revealed to have (unseen) kids after married with Doctor H.

### Series continuity

* The bottle genie noticeably resembles the wishing wood from the episode "Wishing Wood" (S1E35), and Little M. comments on this similarity, thinking he *is* the Magic Tree of Apala.
* While most of this episode have take place in year 20902 (where the *Happy Heroes* series take place), but when Doctor H. temporarily used the third wish which skips one hundered years, it should be year **21002**.
