After some thought, Jon decided to give Karyn some space and just approach her the next morning. If he tried too hard to convince her to not join the cheerleading squad, he could push her away.
Plus, with the wishing stone, he could just wish that she wasn't a cheerleader, right?
So, with nothing else to do, he decided to go see a movie at the mall cineplex.
Unfortunately, what Jon didn't know was that Karyn was on her way to his house that very minute and was intending to steal the stone from his bedroom. If she wished to become a cheerleader, then he couldn't just un-wish it.
Karyn found the hidden key to Jon's house and opened the front door. At the moment, it seemed that no one was home. That was good. Because right now, she felt like she was breaking and entering, even though she felt almost like part of the family.
She headed up to Jon's bedroom, already knowing where to look for the stone. But she couldn't possibly have known what she was going to find in the room.
Karyn opened the door and walked into the bedroom and just stared at all the different items that Jon had wished up before he headed to the mall. There were so many of them. So many that she could barely walk through the room. They were on the furniture, the floor, the bed. There was no way she could find the stone in all of this.
But regardless, she started looking. And that's when she began to notice that the items in Jon's room were actually magical items. If she couldn't find the stone, maybe one of these other items might help her.
