But when Jon looked out in the hall, the green and red stone was nowhere to be seen. Had someone taken it? In fact, that's exactly what had happened. While Jon, Mikey (now Mike), and Santa were in Jon's bedroom, his sister Zoe had seen the stone and had picked it up and taken it back to her bedroom for study. She had a feeling that the stone was magical and had called over her friend Athena DeVries (who was into the occult) to help her examine it. She'd be there soon.
Jon walked back into his room. "Uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but ... your stone is gone." Oh yeah. There was no doubt now that he was going to be on the Naughty List this year.
