“Do you want me to just change you back now Jon?” Sarah asked. “Not that you would need me necessarily, but I wished no one else could get information about the wishes I made, so without the exact wording, it might be hard for you to figure out how to counteract them, and it might leave leftover pieces.”
“You don’t want me as a pet any more now that you got your cat back?” Jon asked.
“Wait, are your feelings hurt?!” Sarah asked, amazed at that slim possibility. It couldn’t possibly be, right?
“Why would my feelings be hurt, it’s not like I wanted to be your pet fox in the first place, this is just a silly punishment that you did to me, that was just a total overreaction.”
“Yeah, really, for a moment I had the stupidest idea, you’re going to think I’m an idiot for thinking this, but I thought maybe you were jealous.”
“But it wasn’t really a punishment, but a flirt, and it only took you a day to get tired of me.”
“Oh my god,” Sarah said.
“Is it because I’m a fox?”
“What.” Sarah said flatly.
“If I was a cat, would you still want me around? Or is it just because of your history with Mr. Katt. It doesn’t need to be a choice between him or me. I mean, is it so much harder to have two pets? Especially when I clean up after myself? Does he have to just replace me?”
“Jon, what are you saying?! Do you actually want to be my pet fox?! My pet girl fox?!”
“Of course I do!” Jon answered with a tear dripping down from her right eye.
Sarah was speechless at the bizarre statement. She thought back on the wishes she had made. Was there something there that as a delayed reaction had made Jon lose her mind?
“Jon, what about your human life? Your future?! What do you want in life?!”
“I want... you to tell me I’m pretty! Am I a pretty girl? Am I a good girl? Could you, pet me and tell me I’m a good girl?”
Sarah reached over to Jon’s face and petted her, all down her back to the tip of her tail. “Good girl. Pretty girl. Yes, I still want you to be my fox! I guess, I love you too Jon.”
Jon furiously wagged her tail and leaned her face into Sarah’s petting, and licked at her, getting Sarah to laugh.
“No I’m just screwing with you,” Jon said.
“What?” Sarah laughed. “You sneaky little, fox! You’re terrible!”
“But I am happy to keep this up for a month. It actually really has been nice. Just a bit boring. And I want you to make friends with Karyn. I can’t be friends with both of you and have you hate each other.”
“Yeah that makes sense,” Sarah admitted. “Well hello Mr. Kitty, how’s my kitty.”
Jon held out her right forepaw to Mr. Katt, and he sniffed it and then bashed his head against it a moment later. Jon wrapped her front legs around him, and then her back legs and then her tail. “I got the kitty,” she said, while he started purring while mostly enveloped by Jon’s fox body.
“At this rate you really won’t want it to end at the end of the month,” Sarah said.
“I’ve got things to do, but maybe I wouldn’t mind being your fox from time to time. Or long amounts of time. Maybe I can even keep this body sometimes in my other life as Jon. But when I’m your fox, you have to provide something to do, I don’t just want to be stuck inside your house for long stretches of time.”
“I have an idea. How about a bath together. You and me. Just us girls.”
“As a furry animal that probably doesn’t smell great when wet, I’m not sure about that, but as a guy trapped in the body of a girl fox, how could I say no?”
“There’s one thing I want to do first though, that should make things a lot more fun between us,” Sarah said, getting the stone from its spot in the next room over.
“Ruh roh Raggy,” Jon said.
“I wish Jon as a fox was the same size as me.”
“Oh,” Jon said as she grew, to the momentary surprise of Mr. Kat, before he just accepted it and continued purring. Jon had in fact been expecting that, after all. Well that was probably better, honestly.
“I wish Jon as a fox wouldn’t grow older and would be biologically immortal. I really don’t like the idea of you aging several times faster for this month. That would almost be a year off your life. Plus if you took this form frequently after the month is over, that would be bad.”
“Ah, yeah, thanks for looking out for me.”
As Sarah was putting away the stone in the next room, she whispered “I wish Jon as a fox would have extremely long and intense orgasms.”
Jon’s right fox ear twitched. Sarah doesn’t realize how much better my sense of hearing is now, she thought. Well, it certainly wasn’t an evil wish at least. But exactly how long was extremely long and how intense was extremely intense and what was Sarah planning on doing in the bath exactly.
Karyn was very suspicious of the supposed sudden vacation Jon was taking. And far more suspicious after seeing Sarah’s unusual behavior in school that day. She would have to go over there. But she would not be unprepared. In case Sarah had the stone, Karyn needed a weapon, something that could silence her from a distance if she began a sentence beginning with “I wish”. Fortunately Karyn knew where her father kept his gun.
