Jon felt his world ripple around him as he closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them, he saw that his room had drastically changed. It was very similar to Zoe's room, and he immediately recognized a lot of the posters, skulls, CD's, and old books as pieces of her collection.
His new full-length mirror allowed him to get a better look at himself. He was skinnier and paler than he used to be, and he was wearing an only slightly more masculine version of the clothing Zoe used to wear. He had on black leather boots with a slight heel, a knee-length black ripped skirt, and a nylon shirt. He also noticed that he had Zoe's piercings: one in each nipple, a tongue stud, a nose ring, and a lip ring, as well as several in each ear. His hair was spiky and dyed black, he was wearing heavy eye makeup and black lipstick, and around his neck was a spiked collar.
If all of this surprised him, it didn't show. While he was certainly not used to seeing himself like this, he also found himself thinking that he looked pretty good. He was pretty androgynous, and he wondered if he could pass as a girl if he bought a good corset.
"That was a weird fucking thought," Jon said to no one in particular. Then he had another one. He looked up at the nearest poster on his wall, of the shirtless lead singer of Zoe's favorite band (which was most likely his favorite band, now), and suddenly found himself staring at the subject of the poster, with a dreamy smile on his face. It took a few more seconds of admiring the guy in the poster before Jon snapped out of it and confirmed that he was now gay.
"Ah shit. I gotta fucking fix this," he said, and then his eyes went wide.
He hadn't noticed it before, but the stone was gone! He'd forgotten about it in the surprise of everything else and hadn't realized it wasn't in his hands. He looked around frantically, trying to find the stone, but to no avail. It didn't appear to be in his room at all.
Then it hit him as he was checking under the bed. The stone must have been in Zoe's room. His grandpa must have given her the stone instead! He wanted that stone back. He sure as shit wasn't going to go through a whole week without it. He'd just steal it from her.
He walked across the hallway to her room.
Meanwhile, Karyn was in her bedroom, starting on some of her homework. When, suddenly, she felt a gust of wind blow past her. It was strange because her window wasn't open.
But then it got stranger when Jon's sister Zoe walked into the room. She was no longer Goth! In fact, she seemed quite normal, much like Karyn herself.
"Hey, Karyn. What's up?" Zoe asked cheerfully.
Karyn had no idea what was happening, but she had a feeling that the wishing stone was somehow involved.
