"Well..." His mother trailed off, considering.
"Mom, please, I know it's a big deal, but grandpa left it to me. He wanted me to have it.
Her face suddenly lit up into a mischievious smile. He didn't like that look at all.
"You say this stone can grant any wish?" She asked.
"Yeah. Anything, but like I said they can't be reversed. Only reinterpreted."
"Alright. You can have it back...but first you have to make a deal with me."
Jon groaned. "What kind of deal?"
"We've hardly spent any time together since grandpa died, and we've never had much in common, but I think there's a way to fix that, and I think you owe it to me to try it."
"I'm listening." Jon responded cautiously.
"I'm going to use the stone to wish that you would become identical to me for a week."
"What?!"
"You heard me. After that week, if you've cooperated and really tried to spend some quality time together, I'll give you back your stone. So, what will it be?"
