There was a quick flash of light. When it subsided, everything looked more or less the same, Jon noticed. He had a feeling it would, though. To see the real effects of his wish, he would have to track down either Leonard or Sally. They were the targets of the wish, after all.
This was well within his power, however, and squeezing the stone, Jon wished himself to be transported to wherever Leonard was at that moment. A second later, he appeared in Leonard's backyard. Fortunately, no one was around to see him appear out of thin air. He found Leonard playing house in a fantastic wooden playhouse constructed near the far fence in the corner of the backyard. His parents must have constructed it specially for him.
Approaching him carefully, so as not to be seen just yet, Jon noticed that Leonard had changed quite a bit. His usual clothes were gone, replaced with the type of clothes suited more appropriately for a second grade girl than for a teenage boy. He was wearing a cute frilly pink pinafore dress with puffy sleeves, a short pleated skirt and lacy petticoats. His fat male legs were bare to his knees where he wore sheer white knee socks. Black patent leather mary-janes graced his large feet and his fingernails and toenails were painted a bright pink. His hair was a lot longer than it used to be and was set in childish pigtails with big yellow and pink bows. Something that hadn't changed, however, was Leonard's weight. He still looked as fat as he was before, and that made the sight of him even more bizarre.
Jon was about to slip away when Leonard suddenly opened one of the playhouse windows near him and found him standing right outside it. "Uh ... hi, Leonard." It was all he could manage to get out. He was so flustered.
