Leonard had one wish that he'd always secretly kind of wanted, and that was to head to disney world with some of his classmates and friends.
He held onto the stone, positioning it in the light so it reflected off it and into his eyes and spoke the words. "I wish I was in Disneyworld right now with
company! And we were having a great time!"
A flash went out.
When he looked around, he was in some kind of gift shop with disney memorabilia. From the windows alone he could see various rides and mascots
around, unbelievable! "What do you suppose is the wattage of these, electronic 'Pluto' fans made as cheap knickknacks? It's hardly even made of worthwhile
plastic." He heard his genius sister Lisa say. Turning around, he saw several people he knew.
They were Clarence Brown, one his black friends his same age (18).
His younger sister Lisa who was a genius of super-science (12).
Veronica, the most popular girl in school and class president (19).
Max Fairwell, that dorky jock who was always causing trouble (18.)
Leonard scratched his head, he wasn't quite sure why Max was here. Usually Max would just chuck footballs at him or stuff him into a locker.
But here he seemed to be having a good time. Oh right, he wished they were all having a great time, so the wish made it so he seemingly
had been invited alongside them and was enjoying himself enough to be well behaved. "Touche." He said, putting the rock down on a table so he could go
check out the gift shop.
A park employee in green facepaint, a dark rubbery cowl and a long draped robe sighed as kids boo'd at her and pulled on her costume. She'd been a park
employee for 6 months now and, it wasn't as glamorous as she'd like. The long hours, the shitty park food and all the disrespect, even for playing a character
as bad ass as Maleficent kids treated her like she was some nuisance The other park actors hardly cared for her either, all those blond and pretty princess
actresses, so stuck up. She ordered a hot dog and ate it by a lunch table as something caught the glimmer of her eye. Some kind of, rock perhaps? When she
picked it up on the table, she felt a strangely alluring presence from the stone. The kind she wished she could have, magical and even to the level of sorcery. In truth
she really did love Maleficent, even if the job was shitty. Picking it up she said "I really do wish my life could be as daring as Maleficent's, not just some terrible
crappy park job where I pretend to be her."
The stone flashed, her body and soul was instantly consumed in a bright green flame. The park shook.
When it all died down, the woman stood up - gone effectively. In her place, Maleficent looked down at her wicked self,
creating hellfire in the palm of her hand. She looked at the magic stone in the other palm, smiling with a brief gutsy glamour.
"The Stone of the Southern Tribe of Zulo, how magnificent. I thought that old wizard Merlin had destroyed this for good, nonetheless
power is power." She turned it into a stone necklace and strung it around her neck carefully, wearing it like jewelry from that point on.
"Now, where is this realm? Time to make myself my own infernal kingdom."
