... but he hadn't expected someone to be watching him as he hid it.
As soon as he heard the sound of Jon running down the stairs, Jon's little brother Mikey exited their shared bathroom through the door to Jon's room. He was brushing his teeth when he heard Jon saying his wish to change into a girl. He had nervously slid the door open a crack, not expecting to see anything special, but he was amazed when he saw his older brother suddenly transform into a pretty girl, and even more amazed when the pretty girl wearing Jon's clothes suddenly changed into a pretty girl wearing a sexy dress and boots, that suddenly changed back into his brother! He suspected it had something to do with that red stone, why else would Jon be acting very secretive with it.
Mikey now slipped the stone from the drawer and ran quickly back to his room through the bathroom. He locked both his door and the bathroom door. He knew what Jon was like when his stuff was taken.
Mikey was no idiot, so he had thought he knew how the stone worked, but, as he was no idiot, he knew he should find out how it worked. "I wish I knew how this stone worked," he said tentatively. His mind was suddenly awash with knowledge about the stone! He smiled. He could have some fun with this. He looked out his window, into the driveway. Jon was running out to a car in the street.
