Jon sat down on what seemed to be his bed in his room. Or rather, something that looked a bit similar. There were two rooms now. Half Jon's DVD collection was in one room and half in another. The GI Joe poster was still on the wall in the other room and in this one was some male singer he couldn't even name. Some of his clothes seemed to be split up among the rooms, mostly things like T-shirts and jackets. A lot of it was new, especially the female clothes in the closets.
He had been transformed into an Asian girl (he vaguely recalled that some people didn't like the word 'Oriental'). And not only that, there was a girl right next to him who claimed to be Jon. From what she had learned, that seemed to be true.
The other girl also had the stone, which she was turning over in her hands.
"Mind if I borrow that?" she asked.
She was a little surprised when the she-male Jon answered "Sure" and tossed the stone over to her.
"We've got to talk to Karyn" said the Asian girl Jon.
"But you don't need the stone for that" replied the she-male. "Just call her."
"Yeah, I should have thought of that. It's dangerous to rely too much on this thing." She made one wish--"I wish that Karyn would remember from before Mom's wishes" and then called Karyn on her cell phone.
"Hello" said Karyn's voice.
"It's me" said the Asian Jon. "One of me anyway. You might want to come over. We're in sort of a mess...."
"Who?"
"Jon! I know I don't sound too much like Jon, but Mom got ahold of the stone...."
Neither Jon had wished for Karyn to forget the new reality, so she wasn't completely surprised by there being two versions of Jon around, and the explanation was fairly brief.
"There's one thing I don't understand" said Karyn. "I find it hard to imagine someone's mother just saying 'oh, I think I'm going to make my son into a porn star'. I've heard of strict parents, but that's ridiculous."
"Oh, we've figured out that one" said the younger she-male Jon. She took the rock from the other one and wished "I wish the TV was showing Mom making the wishes she made today, and that nobody else will interrupt us watching it."
The TV set suddenly turned on without anyone touching the remote, and began to display a strangely clear picture. Jon's mother was there, thinking to herself in the voiceover.
"What is it with teenage boys and big breasts? Ah, well, I won't say anything." And then she accidentally touched the stone out loud and made her first wish about the breasts.
She put the rock back and tried to arrange things as if they hadn't been disturbed as she thought "I just can't bring myself to scold him, because all teenage boys are going to be like that. I wish I felt better about getting him to treat girls with respect...."
And she was mumbling the whole thing and touching the rock, which made her last statement into another wish. Then her attitude changed. She looked at the stone and the magazines, and began to make more wishes. "I wish for Jon to transform into that Playmate. Maybe that'll teach him. I wish his breasts would get bigger, I wish he'd have that hair, and those breasts. I wish he'd be an exaggerated man like in that cartoon. I wish he'd keep his clothes but be like the two girls in that picture...."
The TV went on to show the "fight" where Jon's mother had wished Jon's state to be permanent, but also lost her own memory of the stone. Then the picture faded to black.
"So it's all an accidental wish" said Karyn. "Making the wrong wish can make you want to make other wishes, and other wishes...."
"You can get trapped" said the Asian Jon.
The she-male Jon said, "I wonder if we're going to ever not be like this."
"I don't know" said the Asian Jon. "I don't want to be like this, and if you're me you don't want to be like this either. Or we'll be putting on mascara and perfume tomorrow morning. It's a gorgeous body but I'd rather see it on someone else!"
"But," said the she-male, "you are someone else now, sort of."
"And so are you and I think your body looks great too, but you probably don't want to keep it for good."
"I don't think we're going to be able to fix this tonight. Do you know any good names to use in the meantime?"
"I know!" said Karyn.
"Don't pick anything Asian, okay?" said the Asian girl.
"Okay, I won't, you two can just be..."
