The room was cheerful and girly. That was the first thing Karyn noticed. Lots of pink. It's what she always imagined Sarah McMillan's bedroom would be like. There were even stuffed animals on the bed. Okay, Karyn had a few, but there were more than just a few on her sister's bed.
Karyn and Zoe heard noises coming from inside the room, so they knew that someone was in the room. And when they entered, they saw who it was. Jon and Megan. They were on the floor, making out with each other.
"Jon?" Karyn said.
When Jon heard Karyn, he abruptly stood up. But then he became shocked. "Karyn? What are you wearing?"
"The stone turned me into a Goth. You need to use it fix everything," Karyn said.
Megan was confused, but also angry. "Karyn! What are you doing here?"
Jon tried to settle Megan down. "It's okay. I ... I sort of made a bad wish with the stone. She's obviously here to make me fix it."
"You mean the one that made you my boyfriend? What's bad with that?"
Jon told her about the stone? Karyn thought. He barely knows her.
"Nothing. But Karyn is ..."
"Karyn is a freak. I can't imagine you ever being friends with her."
"Take that back, Megan," Karyn shouted.
"Ooh. Did I upset the freak?"
"Megan, stop it," Jon said, a bit harshly. Megan stopped.
"Just fix me, Jon," Karyn said.
Jon sighed and took the stone out of his pocket. He understood Karyn wanting to be normal, but if it meant losing this new life, he wasn't sure he could help her. At first he didn't feel "right" with Megan, but after a bit of time, she grew on him. And now he couldn't imagine not being with her. But Karyn was also his friend, maybe not in this reality, but definitely in the one prior. He made a stupid wish and it was only right to try and fix it.
