Jon woke up to the sound of his alarm clock beeping and reached over to push the snooze button, but somehow his arm wasn't able to reach. Maybe he had ended up on the far side of his bed as he slept? He opened his eyes to see the clock the same distance away as it always was, but his arm, his... hairless arm... was barely able to reach to the edge of his clock, much less the snooze button on the other side of it.
He sat bolt upright in bed, surprised again to see his vision obscured by long blond hair, and instinctively brushed it back. Without hesitation he went into the bathroom to see what had happened to him; whoever took the stone four days ago must be playing with it! He felt a thrill of excitement; maybe whoever took it was turning him into a real princess like he always pretended to be! The thought startled him, but it felt somehow right, even as he didn't know why he thought it.
The mirror reflected back what looked like a preteen girl. Her face was soft and round, looking a lot like his but still not, kind of pretty, framed by long blond hair. She was about twelve years old, a little short for her age, wearing a pink nightgown that was almost too big for her, made for someone taller. Jon almost fainted as he realized that the girl in the mirror was him! He was so cute! He could hardly believe it!
He needed a new name. Jon was such an ugly name! Karyn had such a pretty name, but he wasn't pretty. A cute name was more his style! A name like... Tiffany! So it was decided. He... no, SHE... was Tiffany now. Tiffany wasn't a yucky boy's name. As SHE looked in the mirror, something seemed off. Her hands were too big, there was a little bit of hair on her face... she had an ugly lump in her neck...
She started to tear up as it dawned on her; someone was using the rock they stole to turn her into a BOY! Crying, she ran from the bathroom into Mikey's room, tackling him back onto his bed as he was walking out. She sat on the bed and hugged him and cried, trying to speak in between the tears. "Mikey... I'm scared... someone has the... the magic rock Grampa gave me... I think they're trying to turn me in...into a boy! Why would they do that, Mikey?! My name is Tiffany! I can't be an ugly boy named Tiffany!"
He seemed to be stunned by it too, because he didn't say a word! He just sat there on his bed, hugging her and stroking her hair. She was so lucky to have such a great brother!
