Jon woke up in the morning with the nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen because of his foolish wish. But his room looked exactly the same, nothing out of place. He headed toward the bathroom, showered, and came out to find Zoe standing there. But...not the Zoe he remembered. Zoe usually was grumbling, and generally unpleasant. This Zoe was just standing there. Looking...well...sort of normal.
"Are you done?" She said, in a soft voice.
"Umm...yeah. Sorry I took so long..." She usually complained even when he was quick.
"It's fine...just, I don't want to be late for class," Zoe said.
"Since when?" Jon blurted out.
She gave him a confused look at that, and went into the shower, leaving him to head to his room to get dressed and wonder what was going on. He didn't see her again until breakfast, when she showed up with her brown hair in a ponytail, wearing a long skirt and white blouse, and carrying a full bookbag. She took some cereal, sat down, and started reading what looked to be a physics textbook.
Jon tried not to stare at her, but she looked at him. "What?" She asked.
"Umm...nothing. You look....umm...nice today."
"Thanks, Jon," Zoe said, and returned to her book.
Jon quickly finished his breakfast and hurried off. He needed to talk to Karyn. Somehow...his sister had turned from goth to some kind of nerd. Unknown to Jon...she wasn't the only different one this morning.
