Joy blinked, confused, but as soon as Alison had said "Let's figure this out", suddenly Joy had figured it out. In fact, she had figured a LOT of things out, but the most immediate things were twofold. First she figured out that "Let's figure this out" was as good as an order so long as the two of them were both there to accomplish the task.
And with a smile, Joy turned to her friend, "Alison, make a new wishing stone... from my old pet rock there." Joy pointed at a rock that laid in a coveted place on her dresser, beside a discarded bra that helped to make her room look as though it were that of either a girl trying to act exactly like a boy or a crossdressing boy with a fetish for big boobs.
Alison's eyes widened, "Wha?" She then stood up, picked up the rock, squeezed it a bit, and suddenly... "Whoa, good one."
Joy smiled, "Well, you DID tell me to figure it out with you. That's really kinda cool, heh."
Alison smiled, "Wow, so did you figure anything else out?"
Joy's smile became a bit more strained, "Uh, yeah, a few things..."
