Jon walked back upstairs to his room, carrying his new footwear in his hand and musing in the powers the rock had given him. He’d called Karyn only a moment ago and she’d promised to be over shortly, so that gave Jon plenty of time to have a play around. He had considered swapping back his feet with his sister but wanted to explore some more before doing so, to try and gauge the limits of the powers that he’d given himself with the wishing rock.
Jon headed upstairs; starting his exploration by examining family photos adorning the hallway towards his room. None of them seemed particularly different in any way. He wasn’t sure why, but he had expected that there’d be more changes, Maybe the wish wasn’t as powerful as I thought, Jon mused as he glanced through the old photos.
However, after pondering through a few of them, one in particular looked a bit peculiar; Jon reached for it and picked it up. It was a photo of Jon and his best friends, Karyn and Emily, dressed up for their school formal last year.
Everything seemed reasonably normal in the picture, Jon was in a rented tuxedo, Karyn and Emily were all made up and in evening dresses but Jon noticed one thing peculiar. He was the same height as he always was before swapping his lower legs with Zoe, despite being clearly an inch or two shorter. He peered closer at the photo and realized, his shoes were significantly different, instead of the black lace up shoes he had worn last year, Jon saw that the shoes in the photo were much sharper point, and appeared to even have visible heels, even though they were mostly concealed by the pants leg. Jon was wearing high heels for the photo shoot.
Jon looked through other photos for similar changes, in some shots of his family at the beach, he appeared to wearing thongs, in a photo from a racing competition a few years back he was wearing a pair of pink-trim trainers with a pair of smaller socks. Reality had altered so Jon had always worn women’s footwear. Reality had to have been changed so that Jon had always had a pair of dainty woman’s feet and most of the clothing choices in the photo appear to be much like what Zoe had worn during that era. Further exploration of the photos had confirmed his suspicions as in similar photos with Zoe in them, she appeared to be wearing masculine footwear similar to what he used to and not a single heel or boot was in sight.
After making a note of this, Jon walked on into his room and explored his bedroom for any changes. Looking around, Jon could see that where he used to keep his sneakers, a pair of dark coloured sneakers better suited to his feet now resided, but in the same discarded arrangement has he typically left them coming home from a trip out. Jon opened up his wardrobe and found that it was filled with shoes of various types, heels, boots, sandals, and sneakers, everything that used to belong to Zoe but apparently were now his. Jon walked over to his drawers and opened the sock draw, finding that all his socks were replaced with feminine styled pairs (albeit more gothically inspired then was typical) as opposed to his old ones. Jon looked through his drawer and found no signs of anything else though, not tights or pantihose or other items of the sort. Jon mused that because they’d only swapped feet, and not entire parts of their body, it made sense that only clothing appropriate to that part of their body would have swapped too.
Jon looked at the boots in his hand and then at the collection of clothing on his floor and in the wardrobe. He figured, he may as well experiment while he had the chance.
A short time later, Jon had pretty much pulled everything out of his wardrobe and tried them on; he’d just finished putting on a pair of knee high black lace up boots when he heard a knock at the door. Surprised and in a rush, Jon stood up, still a somewhat unstable on “his” footwear, and headed downstairs, presumably to where Karyn was waiting.
