JC didn't have a chance to attempt a wish before Sarah got her attention, taking charge of the situation.
"Got that, JC? She can't have left the building, so if we all split up among the studios, we'll find her in no time."
"Um, yeah, of course. Sounds good."
Nodding, Sarah turned back to the fretting Karyn and Jon's mom, putting her sweetest disarming voice into effect.
"Don't worry, ladies; CJ's probably just a little shy and hiding out somewhere. Cindy, Jen, and I are going to look for her right now, and if I can just have you wait up front..."
With that, Sarah ushered the ladies out of the room, and leaving Cindy to tell JC and Sarah's class to practice at the barre before setting off on her own search. JC did the same, but quickly ducked into the restroom to pull herself together and make a decision.
The leggy ballerina had all but forgotten about the real predicament: Karyn and Mom had fully betrayed her! Had they full control over the stone still, JC would be CJ, possibly trapped for life in the body of a little girl! Of course, for the moment, she was practically trapped as a teenage girl, she reminded herself with a cursory examination of her tight body wrapped in nylon and spandex...which only served to remind her that she was practically dying for a chance to get a closer look at herself...
No! There was no time for that now. She couldn't just become Jon again and traipse around the studio, so JC would have to get her hormones in check for the time being.
Before she could make a decision, the restroom door opened to reveal Sarah, who seemed to think she and JC had considered similar options -- how wrong she was!
"Not in here, is she? Dammit; this is bad. We could get fired over this, Jen! What are we going to do?!"
