"Of course!" said Jon. "It's in the magazine."
"You said that before," said Mikey. His voice was strange; it was exactly like a girl's voice, which was no surprise considering he had a girl's vocal cords. "I don't understand it. Maybe there was a stone, I don't remember, but there's nothing there now." He shook the magazine and nothing fell out except a subscription card.
"No, I mean it's literally in the magazine. When you swap, things that are with your body come along. Like clothes... or like the stone, which I bet you were holding. Or touching. I'll have to remember to swap only the bodies and clothes and not anything else. That way I can swap in the future without losing the stone again."
He opened the magazine and thought about swapping with the model that had Mikey's body.
Instantly, his body was now Mikey's--and he was touching the stone, which fell to the floor.
"Unswap!" he said. He had the body of the model again, and Mikey's body was back in the magazine. Jon then picked up the stone.
"Okay," he said, "I wish the people outside this room won't be concerned about what's happening in it today. There, we have some time. Mikey, this is what happened... I made a wish to be able to swap. You made some kind of wish and the stone made you able to swap too. If that's so, you should be able to reverse. Look at the model wearing your body and say 'unswap'."
"I don't understand...."
"Just do it!"
"Unswap."
The bodies changed and Mikey was back to normal. Jon took his magazine and left Mikey's room. There probably wasn't a way to take away Mikey's ability to swap, so they were stuck with it. At least he could go back to what he was doing. Deciding his shirt and skirt were okay, he prepared to go out....
