Jon and Karyn received their orders from The Doggie Stand in the mall food court, then found a place to sit down.
"I'm so glad I got out of that house. Anything to spend time with someone normal," Jon said, sitting down and popping a french fry in his mouth.
"It can't be that bad, can it?" Karyn said, picking up her hot dog.
"Are you kidding me? One sister is a Goth freak and the other is a slut. Sometimes, I feel like my family really isn't mine. Besides my mom, I seem to be the only normal person around."
"Oh, come on, there's got to be something abnormal about you," Karyn said, with a smile.
"Ha ha, very funny. But you know, maybe that wishing stone could be an answer to my problems."
"How?"
"Maybe I could make a wish to make my sisters normal."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Karyn asked. "I mean, who knows what kind of side effects could happen."
"Okay, so I need to think it through first. But I still think it's a good idea."
Karyn shrugged, then began eating her food.
