But even more importantly he spotted Sarah a few paces behind them, and suddenly the opposite approach seemed very attractive too. A lot of people, the wannabe-Romeo included, would rejoice if the Queen-Bitch had a change of heart or two.
Sarah was just pretty shallow, not stupid, so she would actually make a great girlfriend once she mellowed out a bit. But that intelligence also made using the stone to gradually adjust her personality a risky proposition. If she realized what was happening and got her hands on the stone things would get messy.... But it would be no fun if Sarah didn't get some payback for all the humilation she had doled out over the years. So she'd have to be aware of the changes in the beginning. So what would be a secure way to go about it?

'I wish I had a small emerald called 'Gem of Andyryan', that only I could attach to a person or remove once attached. I wish that whoever the gem was attached to would follow every request or suggestion I preface with "SUDO" even if it is against their better judgement.' (his short stint as member of the computer-club had come to mind while he was searching for a word unlikely to come up in casual conversation.) 'I wish the wearer would forget the original suggestion but still follow it, if I add "ROOT". I wish rapid bodily changes would be valid requests if I add "BIOS" no matter how much they violate rules of Physics or Biology. ' (Having Sarah spend the day in the shoes of a decidedly mousey version of herself might teach her some humility.) 'I wish that no matter how much the wearer of the gem changes nodody would find it any more remarkable than a radical change in fashion. I wish nobody but me and the wearer would pay the gem any mind while it is fused to someones flesh. I wish "GLOBAL" would mean everyone aside from me and the wearer would think the new behaviour or form was normal.' after a short pause the Romeo nodded satisfied 'Yep I think that covers all the bases. I wish the stone was at home in a location only I can access and know about. Girlfriend here I come. '
