As soon as he was away from the house, Jon took the barrettes out of his hair and quickly reworked his hair again, returning it to his normal style. He quickly made his way to Karyn's house to meet up with her. He managed to get to her house just as she was leaving.
"Hey Karyn." Jon said,
Karyn smiled, "Hi Jon."
Jon shuddered again and he noticed Karyn's eyes glowing pink for a moment, her expression turned sour.
"Jon... if you're not going to listen to the lessons you've been taught, I'll have to punish you." Karyn said, grabbing his wrist and leading him back into her house. "Remember. Keep your hair styled and presentable at all times. You only had one lesson to remember and you didn't."
She led Jon into her room and sat him down at her vanity (a decently sized one that had appeared due to her accidental wish) before using a large towel to cover Jon's shoulders, only Karyn didn't stop there. She picked up a small spray can with a pink label.
"You know what this is Jon?" Karyn asked, showing him the can.
"No I don't. Anyway, we're going to be late-" Jon replied, before Karyn shushed him.
"We've got a free period first today, remember?" Karyn interrupted. "So long as we get to the office and sign in before our first lesson, the school won't mind and we don't get marked as absent. Anyway, this is spray-on hair dye. Thanks to the wish, it looks like I have a supply of the stuff in quite a few colors, all high-end stuff too. It's meant to be temporary, you just have to be thorough the next time you wash your hair. For you though? This is your punishment."
It took a while for Karyn to finish coloring Jon's hair, before she then re-styled his hair into the same style that Linda had settled on. It was only once she'd finished that she let Jon see her work. As soon as he saw his reflection his heart sank.
She'd dyed his hair bubblegum pink and she'd opted for a couple of heart barrettes.
"For your punishment, remember this: Behave and you become a girl. Misbehave and you become a sissy." Karyn said, her expression changing to a happy smile. "Now stay there. It's time for my actual lesson and I need to get some stuff from Mom's room."
She left the room and Jon tried to get up, but a wave of weakness hit him whenever he tried. The curse must have been stopping him.
"So you used the femininity curse on Jon?"
Zoe smirked, "Yup. Posing Jon while he was under the stop spell reminded me of playing with a doll, so I decided to use that curse so everyone could get in on the fun."
"Bet you're feeling drained, huh?"
"Yeah Danielle, I am. How'd you guess?" Zoe asked.
"Zoe, you're my cousin and I love you, but this is a pretty big case of 'running before you can walk'." Danielle replied, sighing. "When I got my magic a few years ago, I waited a few months before I opted for a spell that big."
"Come on, from what you've told me, you turned Rick into a music box ballerina for a week." Zoe said.
"Yeah, I did. But that was after I took the time to get used to the energy drain from using magic." Danielle explained. "The Privacy Spell? That's a simple low tier spell. That's just redirecting someone's attention slightly so that they ignore something. Transforming people, mental manipulation and auras? Those are middle tier spells." She added, sighing again. "I'd have waited a month before putting Jon through this, but what's done is done. You want my advice? Get some sleep. I'll use my magic to help you get out of school for today and I'll drop by tonight to show you some tricks I use to help manage these powers."
"OK Danielle, I'll see you later." Zoe replied, yawning. The two cousins ended the call and Zoe got back into bed, ready to get some sleep. Danielle used a spell to change her voice into Linda's for a few minutes while she called the school to get Zoe's absence marked as a sick day.
"Here we go!" Karyn said happily, returning to her room. She showed Jon what his lesson was going to be about...
