Jon wandered down the hall, looking around for signs of life at home. There seemed to be no one home on this plain Saturday morning. Jon could see Zoe's bedroom door ajar, he peered inside and saw no one in there; she must have left already. Heading past Mickey's room, his younger brother was also nowhere to be seen.

Jon headed down the stairs to the lounge room, he could tell from the lack of keys on the table next to the door that his parents weren't home either "“ both their sets of keys were absent. Obviously the whole family had gone somewhere. Jon walked past the living room and even his faithful German Sheppard Nikita was missing.

Jon wondered where she could be, Maybe Mickey took her for a walk, he mused, as he walked from the front of the house into the kitchen.

Since everyone was gone, Jon could not find anyone to test his swapping wish on; he was rather bummed at that. Naturally he was rather apprehensive at testing the wish on his family, especially without their consent, but he wanted to make sure this thing worked and didn't really want to take the wishing rock out in public if he could avoid it. However, in this case it looked like he'd have no choice.

Oh well, Jon thought, If the family's gone and Karyn has her Ju-Jitsu classes this morning that means I have to find somewhere else to test this thing today

Jon headed back up to his room and got dressed properly, picking out a pair of cargo pants with a zip up pocket to carry the rock in safety. Slipping the wishing rock into his pocket, he zipped it up and headed back downstairs, grabbing his keys from the table by the door. Jon opened the front door and left the house, pulling it shut behind him, he turned the knob to confirm it was locked. He turned around and headed down the street.

There was only one real place Jon could think of that he could test his wish on, he was going to the mall.


Jon made it to the mall rather quickly; it was only a few miles from his house anyway. Even at this early morning, the mall was full of people bustling by on their weekend shopping adventures. Groups of young friends wandered back and forth, occasionally stopping by certain shop fronts and looking inside, talking all the while. Jon found himself a nice café opposite a major department store and sat down with a drink, watching the crowds go by.

He wanted to find the right way to test the swapping wish, but he needed an opportunity that would allow him time to fix any glitches with the wish if he did find something happening that was unplanned. Jon sat there at the café, drinking his coffee as he watched people pass by. Eventually, either through boredom or an actually moment of divine inspiration, Jon decided he'd found someone to test the wish on.

Jon saw a couple of people passing by; there was a buff muscular man with a pair of young beautiful women following him. Jon pointed his index finger at the man and said, "Give me those muscles".

In an instant, Jon found his clothes too constricting on his body, he looked down and saw that his rather average body now sported a very impressive physique. Jon raised him arm and examined it closely, gently rubbing his free hand over his upper arm, the muscles were so well built that he could feel them, hard as a rock just by running his hand over his arm.

He flexed his arms a few times and admired the newfound strength he could feel under his skin. Jon looked up and saw the formerly muscular man, he wasn't suddenly ugly or anything but he didn't sport the impressive body that he did a moment ago. However no-one even noticed that he and Jon had swapped anything at all, the girls he was with kept pace in the conversation without skipping a beat.

With one more look at his arms, he sighed and said, "You can have it back", watching as his muscles vanished before his eyes and reappeared on the other man. The group walked off without him even noticing.

Jon figured that the wish actually worked quite well, it should easily help Karyn get herself back to normal, especially if Jon could find a moment for him, Karyn and Sarah to be alone for a moment, he reasoned that he could restore Karyn using Sarah.
