On the Way home the following afternoon Jon and Karyn talked about their day. “I need to think of a way to see if I can get rid of these" Karen said pointing to her chest.
“What's wrong with them?” Jon asked innocently.
“I have been getting noticed more,” Karyn replied.
As if to prove her point a whistle came from behind them Jon turned to see that Moose Mathews one of the Jocks from their school was walking past them. He couldn't see anyone else nearby.
"Hand me the stone, "Karyn said this time more forcefully.
“Wait isn't this what you wanted when you made your wish? You wished for long blond hair and big boobs so that you could get some of the attention that she gets if I remember correctly.” Jon said with a grin on his face.
“I didn't know what I was asking for. Any man that I have seen today has been talking to my chest and not to my face. At least yesterday some of them talked to my face but today no one is.” Karyn explained.
“Well, I am talking to your face,” Jon said trying to make his friend smile.
“You have no idea what it's like Jon,” Karyn replied.
“Sorry you're feeling so down but I don't know how we can fix it. You know as I do that once we make a wish, we can't unwish it.” He reminded her.
“How does she put up with it?” Karyn asked seeing Sarah driving past them at that point.
“I have no idea. Sorry, it's not something I have ever had to think about before. How a girl deals with having a big chest.” Jon answered his friend honestly.
“No, I don't suppose you have and that's the problem,” Karyn told him now sounding more angry than upset.
“I really would like to be able to help but I don't know how,” Jon said as the sat down on the small wall around the corner from Karyn's home. He reached into his backpack and handed Karyn the stone.
They sat in silence for a few seconds until Karyn's face lit up. Jon had seen this look on her face before and it usually meant trouble.
“Jon, you said you want to help me with my problem didn't you?” Karyn asked.
“Yes,” Jon answered nervously.
“I have a way for you to do that and understand how I feel at the same time,” Karyn said with a smile on her face getting wider.
“You are not going to do anything silly are you?” Jon asked his friend,
“I would never do anything to hurt you, Jon. You know that don't you?” Karyn asked him.
“I know that but sometimes ….” Jon started to answer but was cut off by his friend.
“Good because I have thought of a good wish, that should understand how I am feeling just now. I wish that for a week Jon and I would swap lives and live as each other and that we would have to deal with the results of any wishes we had made before this wish” Karyn somehow managed to say in one breath.
Suddenly there was a white flash of light and Jon and Karyn were forced to look away from each other, when they saw each other again, they had swapped positions.
Jon looked at Karyn, she was wearing the clothes he had worn a few moments ago. His burgundy-colored, hooded, baseball-style jacket with dark gray sleeves. Underneath the jacket, he could see she had on his white t-shirt with the logo of his favorite band and what looked like his baggie light blue jeans.
While he was taking stock of what she was wearing she was doing likewise to him. He was wearing her red and white plaid button-up shirt, with a white top that was visible under the plaid shirt. He was also wearing her blue skinny jeans.
Jon was the first to speak out of the two of them.
“Karyn, what did you do? “He asked.
“I have helped you understand what is happening as I said I would,” Karyn told him.
“How by dressing me up in your clothes?” Jon asked her trying to understand what was going on.
“You will see if the wish worked the way I think it did. Come back to my house and I will show you.” She said trying to calm him down.
“Well at least it's closer than mine and we can get changed there.” He said.
“That's if you still want to,” She said quietly. Then with a bit more volume, “Let's get moving to Casa Black.”
