"Wait a minute," Jon said. "Are you saying that we traveled into the future by twenty years?"
"No. We didn't travel through time. I just changed the whole town so that it would be a 2009 version of itself. And I've gotta say, the future isn't exactly the way I pictured it. I mean, it just looks like a more advanced version of the present. There are still TV's and video games and stereos and phones. People still use cars and airplanes and boats. Where are all the flying cars? Shouldn't we be living on the moon by now?"
"That's all science fiction, Karyn. And to me, 2009 is the present, not the future." He looked around at all his stuff. His DVD player, his PS3, his computer. "What happens when the wish ends? Will I lose all my stuff?"
"I guess it'll all go away. But all of this isn't supposed to exist yet, Jon. Not until you're in your mid-thirties, anyway."
Jon was really going to miss his PS3.
But maybe there could still be a way to keep all of his stuff, even after the week was up.
