Looking out the front window, I could see Karyn and Emily chatting and giggling. As I turned to go down, I spotted the stone! It was partially obscured on my bookshelf.
"First things first", I thought.
"I wish that Karyn no longer has the power to alter me by showing me a picture."
As Jon spoke, both Karyn & Emily heard Jon's wish in their head.
"Did you hear that", Emily asked?
"I sure did. I guess it's only fair, ya think?"
"Yeah, but it was fun while it lasted."
As Jon watched for the rock to flash in response to his wish he became concerned when nothing happened. "No wait... there it is! I wonder why it took so long?"
"Now to get back to normal." Displaying the original unmodified picture of himself on the computer, Jon said:
"I wish my body would return to the physical state represented by this picture."
Again there was an odd delay then suddenly Jon was himself again. Nude once more but normal.
Jon didn't know that the delay came from the ladies stipulating that the linkage to the picture was not a one time shot, but was to be two-way and continuous for a week. As Jon put on a pair of underwear, he didn't notice that an underwear layer appeared on the picture. As Jon was lacing up his shoes, the girls barged in on him.
"I see you got back to normal", Karyn laughed.
While Karyn teased Jon, Emily quietly sat down at the computer and e-mailed the now fully clothed picture of Jon to herself. Strangely, when it was sent, the copy on Jon's machine disappeared.
