Almost 30 minutes had passed since the young tattooed woman had walked into the steam room and unknowingly severed the final thread that had kept Jon’s old masculinity precariously tethered to his slowly feminizing body. Clueless to the life-altering changes that she had triggered in Jon’s body, the woman sat there with her eyes closed peacefully enjoying her high. Aside from occasionally rolling her head from side to side, the woman was practically motionless in her blissful state.
Jo too sat motionless on the steam room bench with her eyes closed as her mind was subjected to a torrent of emotions. Initially devastated at death of her old reality as Jon, Jo held back the urge to curl up in the fetal position and bawl her eyes out. After a few minutes Jo’s silent tears tapered off and her devastation evolved into curiosity. Pushing her most recent memories of life as Jon back into he archives of her brain with the rest of her obsolete memories, Jo began to sort through her new memories of life as a biological female. It didn’t take long for Jo to recognize Jon’s fingerprints on her current reality. Looking back at her childhood, Jo had fond memories of building Lego sets with her father, playing video games with her male friends, and competing in sports against her female peers. Jo figured her tomboy childhood was likely a result of residual bits and pieces of Jon’s reality that had rolled over into her current reality.
Pushing forward into her memories of adolescence, Jo felt relieved to no longer be burdened with the gender bending puberty that had upended the last several iterations of Jon’s life. For the most part Jo’s memories of middle school and high school were standard fare. Jo was an honor roll student and an above average athlete. She had a small group of friends, and there wasn’t really much drama in her life. The only thing that had really caused Jo angst in high school was her sexuality, which she had mostly kept repressed and hidden from her friends. She had dated a guy named Chris for a couple months during her senior year, but it never felt quite right. Jo could see the utility in men, but they never inspired the same emotion within her like women did.
Once again chalking her sexuality up to residual bits of Jon’s reality, Jo pushed forward into her memories of college. To her surprise she was still good friends with Kirby, though the two were obviously no longer roommates. Jo could remember meeting Kirby at freshman orientation when he awkwardly ask her on a date. Still questioning what she felt inside, Jo accepted Kirby’s offer and the two went on a pair of dates. While they had a ton of fun on the dates, Kirby just didn’t romantically excite Jo like she had hoped and before date number three Jo came out to Kirby about her struggles with her sexuality. Kirby took the news like a champ, and two remained close friends from that point on. As Jo’s memories pushed forward a photograph of Jo and Piper on their first date came into focus. Realizing that she hadn’t lost Piper caused a wave of relief to roll over her body. ”Thank you Kirby.” Jo thought when she realized it was Kirby who had encouraged Jo to ask Piper out.
Shifting her focus back to her current predicament Jo began to take stock of her fully female body. The departure of Jon’s male genitalia had seemingly triggered several changes in Jo’s body that resulted in a loss of muscle mass and height. ”I guess it’s the lack of testosterone?...” Jo thought as she contemplated how Sarah’s wish had been marrying each new attribute to Jon’s most recent reality. ”That would make sense why I lost muscle mass...” Jo knew she was still an above average athlete, but the strong legs and powerful rear she had acquired earlier in the cardio room were now diminished. ”I’m going to have to upgrade these.” Jo told herself as she glanced down at her lean legs. ”Which means I need to go back to the cardio room... or into one of the weight rooms if I want to get back to Lake Point in a day...”
The thought of Lake Point pushed Sarah to the forefront of Jo’s thoughts. ”That fucking bitch!” Jo screamed in her head as she gritted her teeth in anger. ”She fucking curses me and transports me miles away... FUCK HER!” Jo balled both of her hands into fists and raised them up into the air. ”She fucking ruined my life!!!” Jo raged in her head. ”THAT BITCH!” Jo's muscles tensed up as she prepared to slam her fists back down on the bench, but her rage was interrupted by an idea that brought a smile to her face.
”Wait...” Jo opened her eyes and looked down at her body. ”All this time I’ve been trying to hold onto Jon... Or Jon’s masculinity, but now...” Jo brought her hands down to her breasts and gave them a light squeeze. ”Now I’m I woman...” Her left hand slid down to her female crotch. ”I’ve got nothing to lose now...” Jo looked over at the woman sitting blissfully next to her. ”I can’t undo Sarah’s wish and become Jon again...” Jo’s focus drifted to the steam room door. ”But maybe I can use her wish against her...” The anger than had been coursing through Jo’s veins disappeared, and Jo was suddenly filled with a feeling of acceptance and hope. ”I can’t become Jon again... But I can acquire the tools needed to get the wishing stone back and put that bitch Sarah in her place.” Jo stood up from the steam room bench. ”Thank you.” Jo nodded at the nameless tattooed woman before heading towards the steam room door.
