"...ok. I guess it's for a good cause."
Polly Van Buren sighed in relief. "Thank you, Molly - I dont think you'll ever realize just how much I appreicate this!"
Molly gathered-up some clothes and got dressed while Polly, with the cage now open, flew out and perched on top of the four-poster bed. After Molly had dressed she climbed out of the window and followed Polly's directions to the McMillian house. Then, at polly's urgings, she knocked on the door.
Minutes passed and she knocked again. Eventualy, Vanessa Mcmillian, clothed in a nightgown, answered the door with a bleary "Yes?"
Molly swallowed and said "Uh...are you the Vanessa McMillian from the news program?"
She blinked and said "Yes...Can I help you?"
The parrot on Mollys shoulder said "You can help me, Vanessa. It's me, Polly Van Buren!"
Vanessa's jaw fell open in shock! "Polly?" haddn't she just wished Polly Van Buren into a birdbrain? Is THIS what happend? She had thought that Polly's mind had become the mind of a parrot, but now it looked like she had actualy swapped minds with a parrot! This was amazing!
The parrot looked as embarrassed as a parrot could. "Yes, Vanessa. Please say you believe me. I know how unbelieavable this seemes, but it's true! Somehow my brain was switched with a parrot!"
"Yes, and I did it." thought Vanessa. This was an interesting development. She had used the wishing stone to balance certain situaions in her life. Straightening out her snotty daughter was one. Turning her ex-husbands bimbo of a second wife into a four-hundred pound fat-lady was another.
But fixing Polly Van Burens little red wagon had been the most fun. Polly was an uppity little slut who had slept her way to the top and taken a primetime spot from her. That would obviously be hers now, sence Polly was out of the picture.
But there was something touching in the blind faith that Polly had in thinking Vanessa was her friend. Maybe Polly wasn't such a bad person after all.
"Well you cant stand out here all night, dear. Why dont you and your friend come in for awhile?"
