The two Karyn's stood silently watching DTH-Jon.
DTH-Jon paced the length of the bedroom while he thought about the problem.
"Well?" DTH-Karyn asked impatiently.
Before DTH-Jon could answer the DTH starting bleeping. DTH-Jon looked at the screen.
"Interesting..." he said to himself.
"What is it?" DTH-Karyn asked.
"This timeline has started diverging. Several times in fact."
"Will that help you get my Jon back?" asked the other Karyn
"Possibly. At least several versions of myself are working on a solution, so that improves our chances." Jon told her.
"Cool! What do we do?" asked DTH-Karyn
"We help. This seems to be a team effort."
DTH-Karyn turned to her other self.
"My Jon is a lot smarter now, he'll think of something." she told her
DTH-Jon looked around the room and spotted the stone on the bed.
"Ah the stone." he said picking it up. He immediately made his wish.
"I wish I knew which alternate reality path the Jon from this timeline went to after saying 'What If'"
"Well where is he?" DTH-Karyn asked
"I don't know." he told her.
"But you made a wish."
"I know but it didn't work. Did you notice the stone didn't glow?"
"Now you come to mention it, I did."
Jon turned to the other Karyn.
"Is this definitely the wishing stone?" he asked her while pointing at it.
"I think so."
"Have a good look." he told the other Karyn, handing it to her.
She examined it closely rolling it in her fingers.
"Yes this definitely the stone he used to make the watch." she told him.
"That's unfortunate, it doesn't seem to be working now for some reason."
The other Karyn began crying.
"Poor Jon. I'd begun to hope when I saw you pick it up. I wish I could be with him right now."
There was a bright flash of light and the other Karyn vanished.
"I guess it still worked for her." DTH-Karyn told Jon.
"Seems so but now we've lost both of them."
