After dinner, Mikey urged his new mother into his room and closed the door, frantic and worried.
He brought out the wishing stone. "I found this in Jon's room and I made this wish on it, and everyone is changing, and I don't know what to do...and you're the oldest here and I need help," he said.
Kyla took the stone from him. "You're still sick," she said. "Now, I want you to get into bed and go to sleep."
"But..." he insisted, trying to make a grab for it.
She pulled it away. "I wish you would go to sleep and stop this right now."
He did, going to his bed and falling asleep instantly.
Kyla sighed. "Wishing on a stone. Honestly, he has such an imagination," she mused. "I wish, whatever his problem is today, it is someone else's tomorrow." She kissed him on the forehead and went to her room, sticking the stone in a drawer for safekeeping.
