"Okay, we're alone. Are you gonna tell me what you wished for now?" Linda asked him.

Jon looked at her. "I...was bored last night, and I wished something interesting would happen. I didn't realize I was holding the stone."

"So...what happened?" She looked at the expression on his face. "Jeeze...Jon, is it me? Did it do something to me?" She looked suddenly worried. "I...don't feel any different."

"I don't know what happened..." Jon said. "But...downstairs...I think umm...Mom is different."

"You know how hard it was after Dad died. She's in a really good mood today though." That was the same. Jon's father had passed away less than two years earlier. Zoe had probably taken it the hardest, while his mother...Linda had tried to push through for the sake of her children...

"Well, umm...yeah. But there could be a lot of different things I don't know about yet..."

"Yeah," Linda said, thoughtfully. "But, how was Mom different before?"

There was a knock at the door. "Linda, Jon..." Zoe's voice said. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah," Linda said.

Zoe opened the door. "Kids, can you take care of yourselves tonight? Mikey is sleeping over at a friend's house."

"Umm...sure," Jon said.

Zoe frowned, and moved to his side, feeling his forehead. "Are you coming down with something?" She was his mother now, she could tell something was off, even if she didn't know what.

"Just didn't sleep well last night."

"Sorry, sweetheart," she said. "But, I...I'm not ready to tell Mikey yet, but..." she almost blushed. "I have a date."

Jon froze. His mom...Linda...hadn't dated since his dad died. She hadn't even discussed it.

Linda grinned, thinking that it must be what Jon's wish did. "That's great, Mom," she said, sincerely. She wanted her to be happy.

Zoe turned to Jon. "Are you all right with this?"

Jon opened his mouth, and blurted out...
