That night Karyn came over to Jon's after dinner. After saying hello to his mom, Karyn headed up to Jon's room. As soon as he let her in Karyn favored Jon with a scowl as she rubbed her lower back.
"So, thought of any way around what happened today?" she asked as she motioned to her newly enlarged breasts and blonde hair.
Jon pulled the stone from it's hiding place. "Well, I have been thinking about it and I think I have an idea, but I'm not sure how it will work."
Karyn sat down next to Jon on his bed. "I'm not sure I like the sound of this, but I'm game to try anything at this point. My back is killing me."
"Hang on, let's not be rash. I'm gonna do a trial run, set a time limit to see what the side effects are."
Karyn eyed Jon. "Just what are you planning on wishing, Jon-boy?"
"You'll see...you not hearing the wish is part of this," Jon said. He stood up and walked to the bathroom connecting his and his sister Zoe's rooms. "Trust me, no matter what happens, this will not be permanent."
Jon stepped into the bathroom and closed the door. He looked down at the stone on his hand and thought about the wish he was about to make. There was a better than good chance that making it would turn Karyn into someone completely different than the girl he'd grown up with all his life.
"I wish that when I walk out of this bathroom Karyn will mentally become the girl that everyone who didn't hear her wish earlier today assumes she is for five minutes and that she will still remember the way things were before she made the wish."
The stone did its usual flash causing Jon to look away for a moment. He looked down at the rock in his hand and sighed. No going back now. He opened the bathroom door and walked back into his room.
