She grasps the stone tightly as she wages her wish against Jon.
"First I wish that you and Karen remembered all of these wishes. After all, what's the point in torturing you if you don't even know you're being tortured?" She titters. "And as for you. You and your ugly girlfriend want to try to take my spot? I don't think so."
"I wish that you were a homely, frumpy, nerdy girl!"
Jon cries out "NO!" as he grasps as his own body as if to keep it from slipping away. His eyes are forced shut at the wish, as are Sarah's, and in that quick moment it has happened. It takes some time for the changes to dawn on Jon's mind. The first thing he notices is how much lower his perspective is... He's even looking UP at Sarah. A chortle slips out of Sarah's lips as she gazes down at the diminished Jon before she breaks out into a full malicious laugh. Jon swings his hips widely and nearly trips over his own feet as he turns to look into his closet mirror. His, now her, mouth hangs agape as he takes in the girl through the looking glass.
The girl looking back at him is distinctly pear shaped with a hint of a muffin top poking out above her sweats. While her hips may be huge, her breasts are fairly modest for which Jon thanks small mercy's. Her frizzy hair hangs limp and tangled to her shoulders, and the tip of her nose is just a bit too big. To top it off her lips are thin, and her eyebrows are like dark little caterpillars on her head. Even more strange is that, in an odd way, he still resembles himself. The basic bone structure, his complexion. His eyes. He's still himself. The girl's not ugly, Jon acknowledges, but she is very homely, and Sarah is to blame.
Immediately she turns back around, wobbling again with her wider hips and shouts at the girl. "Sarah how could you! What did we ever do to you?"
The taller, idyllic girl crosser her arms indignantly. "What did you do to me? Scruffy little dorks like you and Karen are always making my life harder. Slandering me behind my back, bothering me in the hall, Distracting me in class. You've always been a nuisance and now you're paying for it."
Jon merely gapes in shock at her narcissism. "It's all about you isn't it Sarah? We don't even care about you!"
She huffs in response. "Well you will now. I wish that your tomboy Karen was just a barely passing tranny... who has boners for boys at the least convenient times. That should serve her well." Sarah laughs. "I can't wait to see her tomorrow. And before you get any bright ideas I wish that any wishes on the sto---"
"That's it!" Jon shouts as she charges awkwardly foreword and tackles Sarah at the waist. "G-give it here!" Jon grasps desperately for the stone, while Sarah plays keep away with the shorter girl.
The more athletic girl manages to hold the stone, but as she falls to the ground, has the breath pushed out of her lungs giving Jon the precious seconds he needs to stop her wish. "on the... the..." Sarah gasps out as Jon pushes the cheerleaders face into a pile of dirty laundry and tries to pry open her hands. "...the stone required my permission!"
Jon's face goes ashen as a flash of magic washes across the room. Sarah smirks smugly and sits back up.
The door bursts open revealing a very angry Zoe dressed in her PJ's. "What the hell are you doing you bitch?"
"Zoe..." Jon stammers as she struggles to free the stone from Sarah's grasp. "She took grandpa's gift..."
The goth girl scurries over and shoves the cheerleader back to the ground. "What's wrong with you! Our grandpa just died you blonde skank!" Sarah looks at Zoe with contempt, but the shove just barely allowed Jon to free the stone from her grasp. Sarah's brow furrows as she considers making another grab for the stone when another voice is heard from downstairs.
"Girls! What's going on up there! You're supposed to be studying!"
After a pregnant pause Sarah huffs, stands, then meets Jon's eyes. She holds the gaze for a few fleeting seconds, then retorts. "When you get tired of your ugly life, come see me."
"You a bitch!" Zoe snaps. "There's nothing wrong with Aggie. You're just jealous of how smart she is."
Her eyes fleet to the stone, now within Jon's grasp, then back to Zoe. She sneers, fixes her hair, then gracefully makes her exit.
EDIT:
A couple of notes to explain the setting. There's some commonality between branches, and some differences. I just wanted to describe exactly what differences this branch has.
This story will be set in Fall rather than just after spring break.
The current day, as off the first botched wish, is Monday.
I imagine our protagonists and antagonist to be seniors over 18, and Zoe to be a Freshman in Highschool
Jon's mom is a single mom. Mikey doesn't exist in this story.
Jon's original name is Jon Gibson, while Karens original name is Karen Black.
The primary transformation content will have to do with gender identity and braces, though I fully intend to create an interesting and compelling story as well!
