"Now for some real fun....." Said Sarah McMillan.
However, before she could get to further mischief, she heard the sounds of Jon returning with her drink.
Panicking, she quickly said, "I wish this rock was somewhere Jon wouldn't think to look." With a quick flash of light, the rock was gone.
Jon entered his bedroom. "All we have is Diet Rite, and I don't really recommend it, so I brought you a glass of water."
Sarah simply stared open mouthed at her now empty hand, then said, "Uh...on second thought I really need to leave." Then she shoved her way past Jon and hurried out of his house.
"What was that about?" Jon wondered.
A few years later...
Sarah McMillan, now Eighteen and about to graduate high school, sat in front of her computer, trying to sync her twitter account with her various other social media accounts.
Suddenly, she was blinded by a flash of light. As the light faded, she could feel something in her hand.
She stared at the small stone, really little more than a pebble, sitting in the palm of her hand. After a few seconds of confusion, recognition passed over her face. Can it really be? The stone is back!
She had nearly convinced herself that she had dreamed up the magic wishing stone, only the daily sight of Karyn Scott's blond hair and large breasts kept her belief alive.
"Okay, the Stone is back. Now, I wish I knew what had happened." The stone glowed briefly. Suddenly Sarah knew, as if she had read it in on her favorite blog a minute earlier, that after her wish that the stone was somewhere Jon wouldn't think to look, the stone had hidden itself in the future.
Then more information entered her head, as she learned more of "what had happened." She knew how Jon had acquired the stone from his Grandfather, and each of Jon and Karyn's wishes and the limitations of the stone according to Jon's grandfather.
"The wishes are permanent!" Sarah exclaimed. "Well that explains one mystery then." She looked at her bright blue fingernails, that always turned back to blue no matter how much red or pink polish she painted on them.
She put the stone down on her desk, somewhat afraid of it. She now knew it had the potential to be very dangerous, especially if she made an inadvertent wish.
Still, her mind was much more mature today than it had been back in her Junior Year, and she began to imagine all that she could do with the stone.
Sarah remembered back to Junior Year, and how Jon seemed to freak out for a few weeks after she made the stone disappear. At one point he had cornered her in the hallway at school and point-blank accused her of stealing the stone. But she just pretended to have no idea what he was talking about. After a while he seemed to give up on ever finding the stone again.
"I bet he has almost convinced himself it was all a dream too. Well, too bad for you Jon. The stone is back with it's rightful owner, and I'm keeping it. Now, for my first order of business, I wish..."
