Jon scooted back. "What are you going to do to me?"
"Well," Steve said. "I was thinking about giving you a taste of your own medicine."
"What do you mean?"
"A personality swap. I think it would be a fitting punishment."
"Steve. I mean, Athena. We can talk about this. Just put down the stone and ..."
"No way. I wish you would swap personalities with Trevor Blake and stay that way for the rest of your life," Steve said, smiling. "Let's see how you like it."
As if someone pulled the blinds, Jon's entire room changed into a Goth boy's room. And Jon himself turned into a Goth boy, who's general appearance was very similar to Trevor's. He had long black hair which hung down over half his face, pale skin, black make-up, piercings, and wore a spiked collar, a nylon shirt, a black ripped skirt, and black boots. He stared at himself in the mirror, then looked back at Steve with rage in his eyes.
"I can't believe you just did this to me! I can never change back! I'm stuck like this!"
"That's the point," Steve said calmly.
Jon just stood there, staring at Steve. He supposed that maybe he deserved this, after swapping so many people. But he still didn't think it was fair. He was the one that had the stone. It was his. He could use it however he wanted. Now it was being used against him.
"I can't go out in public like this," Jon said. "I look like a freak."
"That's funny, because that's what Sarah and her friends said."
Jon was silent.
Steve smiled. "Don't worry, Jon. You'll get used to it. There's nothing wrong with being Goth. Trust me, I know something about it." He threw the stone to Jon. "Good luck." Then he left, leaving Jon to his new life. And thanks to the way Steve made his wish, it would be Jon's only life.
