As Jon rushed upstairs to discover how he could fix this whole mess, he missed a bit of the report that followed at the tale end. "We should warn our viewers," the television said to the still worried Zoe and Linda Madison, "that there is a chance that males could be affected by this strange solar activity as well. There are reports, apparently with no discernable pattern outside of the same caveats of it not affecting the elderly or the very young, of males being spontaneously transformed into pregnant women..."
Jon ran into his room, searching desperately for the stone. He ignored the sunlight streaming through his window, having figured in his head that there would be no effect on him. He quickly found the stone in the hidden spot below his bed and held it tight in his hand. "I wish the sun would return to normal," he quickly said, before realizing that said wish obviously wouldn't work. Thinking back to his wish of something interesting to happen, he thought to wish, "I wish that my previous wish of something interesting to happen would have a different effect." He didn't really care what the effect was, in his frantic state. It certainly couldn't be any worse than a world full of women constantly getting pregnant.
After waiting for a few moments with no indication that his wish had worked, he looked at the stone and wished, partly to himself, "I wish I knew why my last wish didn't work." The stone granted his wish, only in a much weaker tone than he had expected. To his horror, a celestial alignment the night before had magnified the stone well beyond it's intended range to encompass the whole solar system the night before. Minus that celestial alignemtn, the stone's power had been overtaxed and needed to be recharged. It would be three or four days before the stone was even close to its full range, and it would be another six months before the celestial alignment would return to grant his last wish about changing the sun, or at least about something interesting.
Lost in the information the stone was giving him, he didn't pay any mind to the fact that he was bathed in the full glow of the golden sun "JON!" he heard a voice cry out from behind him, quickly turning to see his mom and Zoe standing in the doorway, avoiding the filtering sunlight. "Get out of the sunlight now!" his mom frantically shouted, "It can change men too!"
Jon lept out of the sunlight as if he'd been shot, and he waited for a moment longer to see if he would change through some delayed reaction, or if he had dodged a bullet this time...
