I was totally aware of what Veronica had wished for, I didn't agree with her wish but I was happy with the consequences. I really did like my pretty dresses. Veronica took her phone from the bag and took some photos of me. "This is gold!" she said.
She showed me the ring "Where did you get the ring from?"
"I found it in the fountain in the park" Then I noticed the ring had changed "Hey look at the ring. It only has 2 diamonds on it. I could swear it had 5 before"
Veronica looked at it "It had 4 diamonds on it when I put it on"
"It must lose a diamond every time you make a wish. That means we only have two wishes left"
"Well we had better be careful not to waste them"
"Save one wish to change me back. That leaves only 1 left to use"
"Well I'm going to take it off. I don't want to accidently use up my last wish" I noticed she had appropriated the wish for herself. She took off a thin gold chain she had around her neck and threaded the ring onto the chain before putting it back around her neck.
"Hey, it's my ring I found it" I said in my little girl voice.
"2 wishes left. I for you and 1 for me. Little girl"
"That's not fair!" I really sounded like a 9 year old.
"I'm the only adult here. I make the decisions" In my current form she was much bigger and stronger than I was. I couldn't risk losing my one wish so had to concede her point.
"Well what are we going to do for the next 7 days?"
"Pack a suitcase. You will have to come back to my place" Veronica had moved in with a friend of hers after her separation. Rachel was a extremely hot school teacher. I had contemplated asking her out, but had not found a suitable opportunity. I knew she was a single mother and could remember a daughter about my current age. "I will tell Rachel you are Dan's recently discovered daughter. And that you have had to go away for a week and had asked if I could babysit for you. She has a spare bedroom you could use"
I couldn't see that I had any other options, except to go along with her wishes. Veronica asked me to show her where I kept my suitcases. Then helped me pack all the clothes that I would need for a week.
