"Okay, here goes." said Jon. "I wish everything was back to normal"
Once again the room felt as if it were spinning, Jon and Karyn were also forced to close their eyes again. And again, after a few seconds, the spinning stopped.
"Did it work?" said Jon, slowly opening his eyes, relieved his voice was back to normal.
His quickly glanced around, his room looked as it should. He looked down at himself. "...no..." thought Jon. Then he looked over at Karyn.
He had Sarah's body again, and Karyn had Steve's. Karyn opened her eyes, "Crap, it didn't fix it... why didn't it work Jon?" asked Karyn
Jon holding the stone, quickly made a wish. "I wish I knew why the last wish didn't work as I intended". Then suddenly he knew.
"Oh crap..." said Jon
"What..?" asked Karyn, walking over to Jon
"Wishes can't be reversed" replied Jon, with a sigh
"But we haven't made any non reversible wishes, have we?" asked Karyn, sitting down at Jon's desk.
"The wish to swap bodies, which mixed our voices up..." said Jon, quietly. "We're stuck like this..."
"You mean.... I'm stuck as a..." Karyn said, gesturing her hands towards her body.
Jon looked down towards his shoes, "...yes..." Jon whispered, falling to his knees in defeat.
Karyn hid her face in her hands, feeling the brush of rough shaved facial hair, she began to sob.
Jon shuffled over to Karyn on his knees, and hugged her (which was difficult, given Karyn's build). Whispering to her, Jon said "Everything'll be fine. We've just gotta think of a safe wish to fix this."
This helped Karyn a bit, she hugged Jon back,and whispered to him "..okay.. we can get through this if we think.., thanks Jon"
~~later~~
"Okay" said Jon "If we don't figure out how to change back, this wish should help with the situation."
Jon picked up the stone. "I wish we knew anything we need to know to be able to live with these bodies". They both felt a sharp pain behind their eyes, but it quickly went away.
"Woah... that's, weird..." said Jon, putting his hand on his forehead. "Its like I've lived my whole life as two versions of myself.."
"I know what you mean" said Karyn, rubbing her eyes. "Its like knowing how to hard boil & scramble the same egg."
"Well that's an odd way of describing it" said Jon, scratching his head. "Like having one set of instructions for two completely different things"
"Anyway" said Jon, "We should get back on track, how should we make the next wish?"
