Jon speedily greeted Karyn's mother, Bethany and ran up the stairs and barged into Karyn's room. "My little brother is missing," he said, frantically. "But you don't have a..." she looked at him. "You wished you didn't?" She realized. "No!" He insisted. "I wished I'd get an A on my science test, and now Mikey was never born and I don't know how. And my mom is a lawyer and never at home..." "Jon...calm down. You're saying that your whole family has changed?" He took a deep breath. "Yes. Zoe seemed surprised I'd even ask where Mom was." "Well, it's not like she's around much. You eat more dinners over here during the week than with her." "But not before this wish." "Then wish things back. Wish whatever side effect created this didn't happen," she said. He nodded. "I'm sorry. I'm just freaking out, I guess." His hands were shaking. "I never should have made any more wishes with this stone," he said, pulling it out. "Do you want me to make the wish?" Karyn asked.
