“You’re called Mikey and you’re my brother,” started Jon, deciding to use this as a chance to improve his brother, besides he could always wish these changes away later. “You look up to me and admire me more than anyone else in the world. Let’s see you like anime, superheroes and...” Jon paused for a second to think of something interesting to add to Mikey’s interests. “And ballet. You told me yesterday that today you were going to come out about that one and ask mom and dad to let you take ballet classes.” Jon pondered, that would be interesting but it’d take a long time to pay off. “Even though you’ve never taken classes I know that you’re a natural and just as skilled as the best dancer in the world; you even have the perfect build for it.”
Jon smiled as before his eyes physical changes set in, Mikey growing more toned and all hints of fat melting away as his limbs grew lithe. Noting the changes Jon added “You look a bit effeminate and people often mistake you for a girl, but you’re not particularly girly personality-wise.” As before, Mikey changed physically, his face growing softer, and his hair longer. Jon could almost believe that he was looking at a kid sister rather than a kid brother, but looking closely he could tell he was looking at a boy. “You secretly like the colour lavender and when your room gets redecorated next month you want to ask dad to paint the walls that colour.”

“Come with me,” said Jon, and lead Mikey into his room. Picking up the rock he said “I wish that mom and dad won’t notice any changes in Mikey.” Seeing Mikey’s confused look he said “This is a secret only Karyn and I know about; this is a magic wishing rock.” Mikey nodded, believing it, and because of the implanted suggestion Jon had made about Mikey keeping Jon’s secrets he knew there was no risk of Mikey telling anyone about it. “Oh and you’re not to use it unless Karyn or I say to.” Another nod.
Jon sat on his bed, wondering what to tell Mikey next when his door opened and in came...
