"Jon? Is that you? What in the world do you think you're doing dressed like that?"
"Why are you calling me Jon? My name is Karyn."
"What? It can't be."
"Me and Karyn decided today that my name should be Karyn too. That way we can be more alike."
"More alike? Why would you want to be more alike?"
"What? Why wouldn't I?" Jon (now calling himself Karyn) didn't understand his mom's reaction. As far as he knew, his mom had always supported him when he wanted to be more like his best friend Karyn. She was even okay with him wearing the same clothes as Karyn, even if he was labeled as a crossdresser. But now, it was as if she was a totally different person.
He walked upstairs to his room and was about to use the stone to figure out why his mom was acting so weird, but when he went to grab it, he saw that it was gone! Someone must have taken it! But who?
