Jon had left the stone at home, still deciding what he'd even want. He had unlimited power, but that carried great responsibility, and being a lover of comics, he knew what that meant. He had watched to many episodes of Black Mirror, Doctor Who, and knew enough about genies to realize that one small mistake could at worst destroy the universe and at best completely alter his. Why'd his grandpa want him to have this power? He was trying to be a stoic, but every time Biff slapped him on the head walking down the halls, all he could think of was turning him into a chicken. That wasn't right, he didn't deserve it. Well he did, but who was Jon to judge.
Even seeing how different Karyn was, how she was treated, with one unfortunate wish, how it only elevated the rivalry between her and Sarah, the catty jabs and barbs becoming more frequent. All of this, because of that stupid little rock sitting on his dresser back home. It was hard to concentrate on anything at school. Moose pegged him with a dodgeball in P.E. when he was staring off.
Walking home with Karyn and her cursing her bouncing boobs made Jon want to just through the thing into a river. But then what if someone else found it? There was too much temptation, if there was a Mordor, it would be cast into it. Did he really have the fortitude to do the right thing? One off night, at college or as an adult and then...
"Jon, stop spacing out. I was trying to tell you about the bull Sarah was pulling today." That lasted about two seconds before Jon was daydreaming again, nodding along like he was actually listening. Karyn didn't pick up on it, luckily, and they both parted ways as their streets, giving a nice hug with her generous chest pressing against his, causing them both to blush awkwardly. "I hate these things," she offers coyly, " you have no idea how much stupid guys like Moose just stare at me all the time now. I had no idea what I was getting into."
"Neither do I," Jon offers ashamed. "We'll get through it together."
After parting, Jon returns home to see his sister, Zoe, crying on his bed. "I hate her, I hate her, I HATE HER!!!" while clutching the stone. "Jon you always understood me, I just wish you were my parent instead of her."
Uh oh...
