At the same time, Karyn was heading home, disgruntled over the fact that her breasts were bigger and making her shirt tighter against her body. How did girls like Sarah McMillan put up with this?
Then, without much thought, she shoved her hands in her pocket and hung her head low. And that's when she felt it. The stone! But ... didn't Jon take the stone with him? She took it out of her pocket and looked at it confusedly. It was a different color. A bold blue. Why did it look like that?
What Karyn (or Jon, or anyone else for that matter) didn't know was that when the Republican Stone traveled back through time to this place and date, it didn't replace the original stone, but instead displaced it (ending up in Karyn's pocket ... you know, that whole "two things can't exist in the same point in time and space" thing). The nature of the stone (no matter what form it was in) was to gravitate towards a certain mindset. And when the Republican Stone suddenly appeared, the "regular" stone wanted to gravitate towards the Republican mindset too, but something stopped it from doing so. In fact, it did the opposite. Maybe it was like that to be balanced ... or to be fair ... but whatever the reason, the "regular" stone at that moment had become the Democratic Stone. And just like its counterpart, the stone would twist wishes to fit into its new mindset, which in this case was a liberal point-of-view.
But again, Karyn knew none of this, so when she made her next wish, she had no idea that it would twist the outcome of the wish into something she didn't expect.
