"Jon, why would you do this to me? I thought you didn't mind having a body like that."
"I don't mind. But in a week I will. And I know how I'll react to my current situation by then. Anyway, being male from the waist down is not that big of deal, Karyn. Maybe you'll even like it."
"I don't know how I could possibly like it."
Just then Tom White, a bit of a bully, walked past. "Well, well, well. If it isn't our two local freaks."
"I thought I was well-accepted the way I am," Jon said, mostly to Karyn.
"Well, yeah," Tom said. "But, you two are still freaks."
He walked away, laughing.
Angry, Jon held the stone tightly in his hand and said "I'll show you who the freak is. I wish ..."
