Karyn relented and handed him the Rock. "I don't think it was that bad. I put a time limit on it and everything."
Jon looked pensive. "You changed my mind. You didn't touch my body; this was worse. You changed the very core of who I am. Right now, I'm thinking about using this Rock to..." He broke off. "No... can't do it, not yet. I'm not really me right now."
Karyn was starting to get it now. "I'm sorry. You're right. I shouldn't have done anything to you without your permission."
Jon gave her a wan smile. "OK, I forgive you. The power of this thing can go to our heads. And before I accidentally say the W-word again..." He pulled out the box from his pack and placed the Rock inside. He closed the box, and then he visibly relaxed." Alright, crisis averted for now."
Karyn regarded Jon thoughtfully. "I thought I understood what a transvestite is. After the wish I made, I thought you'd just go dive in and start wearing my things. What stopped you?"
