"Jonny-girl, did you get the stone?" Karyn asked on the small watch screen.
"Yes, be quiet," the intruder whispered. "I don't want my past self to find me. Remember what happened last time?"
"Don't remind me. It took me a week to charge an item with enough magic to restore you."
"I'm leaving now. This time it will happen." The intruder, who was actually an older and female version of Jon, tried her best to sneak out of the bedroom, but as she did, she accidentally tripped and tumbled onto the floor.
A second later, Jon woke up and turned on his nightlight. "Who are you?" he demanded.
"Damn," the future version of Jon uttered, then she stood up and turned around.
