"We can assume that Kevin is at least going to show up at Dino's at 8pm on Friday." Sarah replied. "I don't think he really wants to sleep with me, just mess with my head. He was a girl until last night, after all."
"Even if he tells us anything, that's still two days from now. What are we to do till then?" Nicole asked.
"We keep quiet about this. We don't let Jon or Kevin suspect something is up. We act as normal as we can." Sarah replied. "Beyond that, we should compare notes and see what's different."
"How can we tell?" asked Nicole. "I mean, we didn't know who Kevin really was till the stone told us he used to be a girl."
"I already wished that our minds couldn't be altered. If Jon's been changing others and making the world not remember their old selves, we'll know."

The next two days were strange ones indeed. No one but Sarah and Nicole seemed to notice the changes at school, but Sarah and Nicole were all too aware of what was happening. After school, they met to discuss their findings in relative privacy.
"Jon's been changing a lot of people around here." Sarah began. "Remember that jerk Chaz Thomas? The guy we caught sneaking into the girls' locker room? Jon turned him into a busty blonde bimbo named Chastity. She's a complete and total airhead, a dumb blonde stereotype straight out of those stupid jokes."
"At least she's not a cheerleader." Nicole responded. "Biff's friends Reggie, Ronald, and Jim have been turned into sexy cheerleaders. They're now Regina, Ronnie, and Jamie, and they're going to be on the squad with us. I tried to talk to them, but they were really annoying. They wouldn't stop talking like Valley Girls. I think they might be bimbos, too."
Sarah shook her head sadly. "That DEFINATELY says it all about what Jon thinks about us. But that might be a good thing. If he doesn't think we have brains, we might be able to surprise him."
"Maybe. Do you remember that other Jim, Jimmy Gordy?" asked Nicole. "The shy one? He's now an attractive young lady. She's Janine Gordy now. She got to keep her intellect because Jimmy was one of those boys who wanted to be a girl. I used my new powers to read her mind, and she remembers who she used to be. Apparently, she was one of the first people Jon transformed today, and Jon then decided 'Why stop there?' and got totally carried away."
"He hasn't just limited himself to sex changes, either." said Sarah. "He turned Steve 'The Stud' Farber into a horse! A horse! The horse now belongs to the school principal, who occasionally keeps him in a stable on the school grounds."
"Are we going to change any of them back?" asked Nicole.
"We can't right now." Sarah replied. "If we do, Jon will know. We need to find out just what Jon's plans are. And since he's shielded himself from mind-reading, we'll have to get Kevin to tell us. The date tomorrow night will be the best opportunity."
All this was on the first of the two days. On the second day, everyone at school was talking about the media's big top story. All the nuclear weapons in the world had mysteriously disappeared. In addition, every chemical, biological, or radiological weapon (in fact, anything that might fall into the category of 'weapons of mass destruction') had vanished. "It has to be Jon," said Nicole. "I mean, we didn't do it."
Sarah agreed. "That leaves only God, space aliens, and Jon. I'm betting on Jon. I just wish I knew where all those weapons went." Using her newly-begotten powers, she summoned the wishing stone from her locked safety box at home, and then repeated the statement before sending the stone back. Nicole watched as Sarah's expression changed to one she had never seen from Sarah before. It was a look of stunned, shocked disbelief. Sarah looked as if she had just seen something truly horrible.
"Jon sent the weapons to a galaxy millions of light years away." Sarah began. "They ended up in the air above an inhabited planet. Dozens of cities filled with intelligent lifeforms were totally destroyed. Jon's a murderer..." Sarah's voice was quavering.
Nicole could only sit there in stunned silence. It was a while before either of them spoke. "You have to tell Kevin about this. Maybe we can bring him over to our side."
"I hope so." said Sarah.
Sarah and Nicole managed to get through the rest of the day. Sarah couldn't quite shake the horrible images of Jon's possibly unintentional act of genocide from her head, but when people noticed something was bothering her, she told them her favorite aunt was sick. Neither Sarah nor Nicole noticed any further changes in the students or faculty at school. Apparently, Jon had decided to just see what happened with the first round of changes for a while.
At 8pm, Sarah sat at a booth at Dino's Pizza, waiting for Kevin to show up. Nicole sat a few booths away, chatting with her boyfriend Mickey. Sarah would signal to Nicole when/if she felt Nicole was needed.
Sarah hoped Kevin really was going to show up. If not, they were wasting their time. She waited a few minutes, and then at 8:05...
