"Well? What have you got to say for yourselves?" the principal asked.
"Sorry?" Mikey said, hoping that apologizing would be enough, although he thought it probably wouldn't.
"Don't apologize," Sally (uh ... Joey) said. "There's nothing wrong with having a little sex. If anyone should be getting angry, it should be me. I've never had sex so quickly in my life."
Mikey stared at the woman sitting next to him, with his mouth wide open. Did Joey have sex before? Or was this person not really his friend anymore, but rather much more Sally Swallows?
"That's enough!" the principal yelled. "You two are suspended until ..."
"Wait, you can't do that," Mikey pleaded.
It looked like the principal was about to say something, but then his mouth closed. "You're right. Suspension does seem a bit cruel. How about just coming in for detention?"
"My mom won't like that," Mikey said.
"Well, there's no need to upset her. How about you just agree not to do this again?"
"Uh ... sure," Mikey said.
Before they left, the principal informed them that this was their only warning, that next time he wouldn't be so lenient.
On the way back to his class, Mikey thought about what had happened. No way would the principal let them off that easy, not for what they did. What he didn't realize was that the wish he made was allowing him to change things into what he wanted and liked, just by thinking. He wanted to get out of being suspended and having detention, so that's what happened. If he wanted, he could have turned the principal into a porn star just like he had done to Joey. But he still hadn't figured out that he had this "power".
