Karyn finished writing, unsure exactly what to expect. Suddenly it seemed like the world shimmered and blinked for a moment. Looking around in momentary panic, Karyn relaxed when she saw that everything was the same. Well not quite the same, she noticed with a smile. Standing up while still hiding the notepad so that Jon couldn't see it, Karyn wandered around the room grinning and acting as if she hadn't been there hundreds of times. She seemed fascinated with everything and nothing. She picked up nicknack's from shelves, she ran her finger along the top of the door sill collecting dust. "You really don't see anything that's different?"
"About myself", Jon asked wide eyed as he tried to feel and look at himself all at once.
"No silly, me!"
Jon looked in puzzlement as Karyn laughed and posed and twirled for him, but to no avail. "I don't see anything that's the slightest bit different. You're pulling my leg aren't you?
"Oh Jon, this is just too fun. I really did make a change that should have been obvious. Here, take a look."
Jon took the notepad and pencil from Karyn and read what was written there:"
'I am 5 feet 11 inches tall.'
"But ... You've always been tall", Jon sputtered. "Are you trying to tell me you're not normally tall? I remember you were always the tallest girl in class. Heck until high school, you were always the tallest person period, girl or boy. I remember how you were teased."
"I can sort of remember it too, but for me it's more like having seen a very vivid movie. I know it wasn't real."
"How tall are you really", Jon asked.
"I'm a very comfortable 5 foot 7. Tall enough for a girl, but not so tall it causes difficulties. Although it is a bit of a tickle to be able to look you in the eye. Come to think of it, I could put on heels that would lift me to about six foot three. I'd tower over you. I bet it would be a kick to cup your chin upwards so that I could kiss you. Oh! Let me try that real quick, hand me the pad and pencil back."
"Oh no, it's my turn now! We'll just see who towers over whom." With a smirk on his lips and a glint in his eye, Jon erased only a tiny piece of what Karyn had written. Now it said:
'I am 5 feet 1 inches tall.'
