Karyn stared slack jawed at the computer screen. She had been trying to process the information for a good half minute before the perky brunette on the video chat chimed in.
"I know this is a lot to process and it's very unfortunate about what happened to your friend...but at least he's not been completely absorbed, it's a miracle he's still conscious and even be able to communicate given his ...unique condition" she explained, while writing down some notes in her notepad.
"I understand...I dont remember the the accident, but I'm aware about...Jon" Karyn stuttered glancing down momentarily.
"Good, I must say the results are looking good from our recent chemical analysis. there are no signs of foreign mutagens, or compounds present in your bloodwork or skin. for all intents and purposes you're a healthy normal teenage girl with only slightly elevated testosterone and estrogen levels." She rattled on.
"By the way My name is Samantha Jean, I'm a research scientist for the local CDC. I've been assigned to monitor your condition for any abnormalities and any possible way to restore your friend, so consider me your new friend for the time being since I'll be sticking by your side like glue until I'm re-assigned" Samantha explained.
Karyn considered this for a moment, she felt utterly exposed, embaressed and ashamed.
"How many people know about Jon and...Ummm" She drawled off.
"Well, from the initial statements and reports the class only saw the flash from the first explosion and chemicals, The teacher had instructed all students to leave the class and locked the door, when Jon started to absorb into your body is when he left. While you were unconcious the teacher had the room evacuated and quarantined until we arrived and set up. When we arrived we saw you in stable condition. When we went to take samples however is when we discovered Jons new situation. To say we were startled was an understatement. He was as confused and scared as we were, two of the first responders fainted on the spot!" Samantha mused.
"So, nobody really knows what happened to Jon outside of a few people from the CDC?" Karyn asked again.
"Well yes, Your parents and family were notified of a potential biohazard incident you were involved in, but full details were not disclosed"
Karyn thought this over, at leas she was spared from explaining to her parents what had happened to the boy she always told them about when she discussed potential boyfriends.
"What about Jons family?" Karyn wondered. Samantha suddenly sighed deeply.
"Well...We had to tell them that he unfortunately perished in the lab accident, Your professor being debriefed on the "official" story, however he doesnt know all the details either. We've kept as many of the details off the records as possible to protect you and Jon" Samantha stated sadly.
"WHAT!?" Jon shouted, causing Karyn to jump at the sudden explosion of movement. His breathing had quickened to an almost fevered pitch and was causing all kinds of unwanted sensations in her lower body.
"Jon calm down!" Karyn yelled, however Jon continued to scream and his breathing growing more impatient.
"CALM DOWN!? My family thinks I'm dead Karyn...This is fucked up...I cant. The Rock Karyn we have to-"
"Jon Shut up!" Karyn shouted. And immediately she could feel the intense breathing and shouting stop in her abdomen. The only feeling left was an growing heat that she could tell was Jon's growing frustration.
"Oh Jon I'm sorry but there was nothing else we could do" Karyn turned over to the computer, Worried about how much Samantha had heard as she noticed her finger still smashed down on the spacebar for Karyn's microphone.
Karyn cursed mentally about her dillema, she had created a huge mess and now everything was spiraling out of control. Things were becoming too complicated and troublesome. She needed to use the rock to somehow get out of this mess. She was afraid of it though, even a simple wish for being absent from school had been twisted into huge headache for her and jon. She felt ashamed for taking advantage of Jon in her moment of weakness but It was his fault in the first place for turning her into his penis.
She felt even more guilty however when she remembered how she came to be in this situation in the first place, Jon felt so bad that he threw caution to the wind and wished to restore karyn to normal. Resulting in their current predicament.
"I'm sorry samantha...I need to talk to Jon alone" Karyn spoke after a while.
"I understand...please dont hesitate to ask for anything you might need" Samantha said as she turned off the monitor and the feed cutout.
Karyn rubbed her stomach as she tried to calm down Jon's rising temper, her body was still but the fire in her stomach raged with an inferno. He was angry and she understood why. She needed to use the magic rock to set things right, everything had gone way too far. Karyn studied the rock for moment before grabbing it and thinking things over.
Unknown to her however that her every movement was being recorded by a small security camera placed in the cieling of her room. Samantha was watching a private feed of all of Karyns bedroom. Samantha was fascinated by this bizarre case and was eager to learn more about their condition. Her finger hovered over the button to trigger the microphone installed in the camera.
She wanted to see and hear how they dealt with their new condition, from an entirely researchers point of view this was groundbreaking stuff. Her curiosity overwhelmed her and with a shaky finger clicked the button in the intercom.
Through the speakers she could hear Karyn's muffled voice and heard something that peaked her iterest.
"Jon...we need to talk about the wishing stone"
Samantha listened intently.
