As soon as I spotted a set of dice in the fake Jon's hand I knew what was coming. Roughly. Even though in my old body the ownership of the stone made me drunk with power I still did get a kick from a certain kind of lack of control - randomness.
I joined the Math Puzzle club in grade 4. I regularly programmed on my PC. I've read all Stephen Hawking's popular-science in our town library. In short, I was a real geek. However, nothing from the world of science fascinated me as much as stochasticity - the study of randomness. When I was planning my improvements to the world I promised myself I'll make some of them as random as possible. Now, being in this wrong body of the wrong gender I feared what changes the chance might bring.
Back in my old body I never actually ended up deciding exactly which changes I should leave to chance. I considered some but I always kept delaying the decisions for until I got to wish for them. And now it was the fake Jon who was about to decide. Oh God, I hope he doesn't choose the one with babies...
"Let's start with a riddle." said 'Jon' walking towards Karyn and I. "At first you have two but then get one more, but only in case you're a ho and not bro."
I looked at Karyn. She probably guessed the answer to the riddle just like I have a few seconds ago. Her hand slowly moved to her faceboob.
"That's right Karyn!" 'Jon' laughed. "It's nipples! Both guys and girls have two of them until you grow those little fellas..."
He flicked Karyn's face nipple and wanted to to the same to mine but I slapped his hand as soon as I saw it shooting to my face.
"Eh, Lizzie and your temperament... I'm telling you it will get you in trouble!" He waggled his finger at me. "Anyway, this little riddle of mine is not going to be relevant anymore after the wish I'm just about to make. Starting with only two nipples? Boring... I wish that girls were born with up to ten additional pairs of nipples placed randomly but symmetrically on their bodies. I wish that for both Karyn and Lizzie a ten-sided die roll decided how many pairs of extra nipples whey will sprout. I wish it was up to me to decide where they grow."
'Jon' was smiling wide. I wasn't surprised. I haven't thought of that change before but I had to admit that it tickled my fantasies just in the right way. That is if I was the one watching girls grow extra nips and not growing ones myself.
"Oh, and I almost forgot! I wish that any pair of female nipples can spontaneously start developing into complete breasts at any point in a woman's life."
That was something I wasn't planning to experience. I didn't know how back then, but I was sure I was going to find a way out of this female body. I certainly wasn't planning to stay in it long enough for my extra nipples to start growing into even more boobs.
'Jon' grabbed the ten-sided die.
"This one is for Karyn." He tossed it onto the desk where it spun for a few seconds. I could almost smell the intensity with which Karyn was staring at the dice as it finally stopped at 6.
"That's certainly enough." 'Jon' suddenly went serious. "Knees, buttocks, on your sides at your waist, bellow your boobs, above your boobs, on your shoulders."
Karyn made a high pitched noise that would probably be a shriek, had she still have her mouth. She jumped from her seat and rubbed her ass cheeks with her hands as if something stung her there when she was sitting at the desk. When she calmed down I could see that her long jeans and t-shirt concealed most of what happened to her. All, in fact, save for the pink bits of areolae of her 'above boobs' nipples peeking through her t-shirt neck and the small objects clearly trying to poke through the same t-shirt on her shoulders. She sat back on the desk chair visibly shaken.
"Very nice, we'll inspect the later. Now for you Liz."
No, don't! I wanted to shout but yet again I encountered the still unfamiliar feeling of my mouth being completely filled with flesh, immobile.
The die danced on the desk for hours, or at least so it seemed to me. It jumped bumping onto a computer keyboard and fell to the floor. I heard it stopped spinning. I bent down to see what it said.
Two.
"It seems Karyn wins this round. Let's give you your consolation prizes. First... elbows."
Immediately as 'Jon' spoke the word I felt a pinching sensation in my elbows. I twisted my right arm so I could see a small pink growth, almost the size of the tip of my pinky, forming on the end of my elbow. Simultaneously a pink areola was spreading around it ending up about an inch across, covering the whole tip of my elbow.
"That's nice. And for the second pair I choose your hands. Palms to be precise."
I felt the same pinching sensation, this time centered in my palms, just like 'Jon' said. Before that moment I didn't have a chance to look at my hands and so only then I realized how much more slender and delicate my hands and fingers looked now. I had a woman's hands to match my girly body. My attention was quickly drawn away from this revelation though as a set of nipples pushed through the skin of the inside of my palm. Similarly to the ones on my elbows, I saw the pointy nipple appear first, followed shortly by the pink areolae contrasting with my pale skin. But unlike my elbow nipples they didn't stop there...
The pinching feeling turned into gentle throbbing, or even aching and I watched how on my palms the newly grown areolae slowly puffed up until they were hardly flat anymore. They took a shape of gentle cones, a shape I knew from the ladies' sex ed classes I sneaked in one time. It was the shape of a nipple on a budding breast.
"Oh..." the fake Jon noticed the same thing. "That is so very, very cool. It seems this pair started developing into boobs already! Hell, I can't wait to see how you'll end up dealing with them once they're fully grown. Although to be honest who wouldn't like to fondle tits with their hands all the time?" He laughed in a way that disgusted me. Having nipples on my palms was one thing but I couldn't imagine living with a full breast in each of my hands, even if they were only to be as small as the ones on my chest...
"Oh Gosh..." 'Jon' sighted ostentatiously. "I just wish those extra boobs grew in a time space of days and not months... Oops..." He winked at me and I knew his wish was granted.
I needed to think of something. I had to get to the stone somehow. Good thing 'Jon' didn't realize Karyn and I could still wish through writing but still, even if I got the stone, what could I wish for to end this madness?
