"Okay," said Jon, handing the stone over to Kevin.
Kevin made his wish right away. "I wish that my long blonde was really a wig, and that my big boobs were just stage breasts attached with spirit gum or something."
Both of them, as before, were forced to look away momentarily from what the wish was affecting, which meant that Kevin momentarily had to stop looking at himself. But afterward, Kevin felt the long blonde hair and breasts feel less real. He reached up, and pulled off the wig, revealing the short red hair he recalled having before making the previous wish.
"Thank you." Kevin said. "Jon, will you help me get these fake boobs off? I don't want to have to explain them to the school."
It took a while, but soon, Jon and Kevin were able to remove the false boobs, and they lay discarded in the corner of Jon's room. "Thank goodness!" Kevin said, sighing in relief. "I don't want to ever have big boobs, real or fake, again!"
Kevin was now a normal-looking young man of high school age. He tucked his overly loose shirt into his pants. "I guess we'd better hurry, or we'll be late for school." he said.
Jon looked at Kevin for a bit. It occured to him that Kevin would remember a lot of things differently now. Jon and Karyn had had a number of things in common, but still a friendship with another guy was different from a friendship with a girl. Jon realized that Kevin would have memories of certain conversations and other things that Jon wouldn't remember.
Jon had the stone again, as Kevin had set it aside on the dresser after making that last wish. He wondered what would be the best thing to do. Should he wish that Kevin remember his previous life as Karyn? Should he wish that HE remembered his friendship with Kevin the way Kevin did? Should he not make any wishes at all, and just say things like "Oh, yeah" when Kevin clearly recalled something differently than how Jon recalled it?
What was Jon to do now?
