"How about this?" suggested Jon. "If there's a good and an evil Sarah and I'm the good one, why not just wish that we're both good? That way we can have Sarah and me at the same time."
"I don't know if that will work. I told you, if we never found the magic items, she shouldn't exist. But she does... maybe the cabinet is as powerful as the stone."
"Or... Wish that I was the evil one and she was the good one."
"If you were the evil one, you'd be where she is now and she'd be Jon. No, that won't work. Hmm... we can go to your place and you can let me use the stone?"
Jon, knowing what he knew, wasn't sure if he should hand it over. Karyn could just take it.
"Oh, come on. We really both found it, so it belongs to both of us, whoever picks it up doesn't really matter. I'm not going to take it and never let you use it again. And I'm not going to change you back against your will."
Mentally, Jon added "... and that's the truth" to the sentence. Because it had to have been.
In Jon's room, Jon gave the stone to Karyn. He wondered what Karyn would do, since she wasn't going to transform him. "Karyn? What's the wish going to be?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"But I will once I ask. I wish this stone would suggest a wish that will give us both what we want."
A voice came out of nowhere, speaking the words "That is impossible."
"Fine," said Karyn. "I wish this stone would suggest a wish that would at least get close to what we want."
The voice spoke again, this time giving a suggestion.
"I don't know," said Jon. "That isn't exactly what either of us want."
"But it's close," said Karyn.
"We probably should try it," said Jon.
"Okay," replied Karyn. Following the suggestion, she said "I wish...."
