James opened his eyes expecting to look up to an elderly version of his best friend. But he didn’t. Instead, he was greeted with a rather shocked looking, very confused looking version of her.
“James?” She asked, looking at him, “I-I think we got carried away…” she said, looking down at herself, “shit!” She said, James looked at her,
“Oh god…” he said, shielding his eyes with his hands,
“It’s not just me!” Ellie said, doing the same,
“Huh?” James said, looking down, “oh shit!” He said, laughing in embarrassment.
Both were almost completely naked. Ellie’s clothes were totally torn, James’ clothes were in a pile beneath him.
“Who’s wish is it?” Ellie asked,
“Mine I think,” James said, “and I wish we were fully clothed,” he said.
Within a moment, their clothes suddenly stitched themselves together, floating up towards them. The clothes flew right onto their bodies, fitting themselves perfecting on their individual frames.
“That was…” Ellie started,
“Awkward?” James said, “because yeah. Very awkward,” he said, chuckling at himself,
“Y’know what’s weird though…” Ellie said, looking back at James, then at herself, “I think the wish still worked,”
“Which one?”
“The one that made us not find each other attractive,”
“R-really?” James asked,
“Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like you like that,”
“I know, I know,”
“But I think you’re a good looking guy,” she said, really analysing his face, “but right now, there’s nothing about you I find attractive,”
“What a kind thing to say,” James said jokingly, “but…” he started, now analysing Ellie’s face, “you’re right…” he said, “you don’t look any different, but I can’t even appreciate your looks right now… you’re just…” he finished, struggling to find the words,
“Plain?”
“Exactly,” he said.
“Well that’s good to know. I’m happy to keep it that way,” Ellie said,
“Me too,” James said, “now I guess it’s your wish,”
“Yep!” Ellie said, “I think we should hold back on changing our bodies for a moment, I was thinking about our exams,”
“Really?” James said, “that’s the last thing on my mind… but yeah, you’re right,”
“Okay. I wish me and James pass our exams no matter what,” she wished,
“And I wish both me and Ellie get into whatever College is going to best for us,”
“Great wish,” Ellie said, “and just to finish off, I wish we both do well in College!” She finished.
The two looked at each other, pleased to have each other,
“Alright, let’s get back to the fun wishes!” James started, rubbing his hands together in anticipation…
