Dan, Mark, Evan and Bill were sitting around in Bill's basement one afternoon, as they usually did, when Evan mentioned a strange encounter he had that day.
"I was walking by the old railroad tracks when I found this," he said, lifting a large necklace in the air. It looked like real gold, with a ruby set in it. The other guys were awed.
"Shit, that's gotta be worth at least a thousand dollars, Evan," Dan marveled.
"I think it's cursed or something, though," Evan said. "When I first touched it it gave off this weird glow, like it's a magic amulet or something."
Mark was unimpressed. "Looks like you stole it from you're mom's jewel box. You must go in there a lot, right?"
Evan scowled. "Shut up, Mark. I could probably curse you with this or something."
"Right, with your stupid fag jewelry. I'm so scared."
"You're the fag!" Evan yelled defensively. Then he smiled. "In fact, I'll make sure of it." And, holding up the amulet, he loudly said: "I wish Mark was a fairy."
There was a pause. Mark didn't feel any different. "Nice try, loser, but-" He stopped, noticing that the other guys had all started staring at him. "What...what is it?" he asked, nervous.
"Your ears..." Bill said quietly. "They..." He trailed off. Mark frantically felt his head, and realized that his ear had grown into points. "What the fuck...what the hell did you do to me!" he shouted, turning toward Evan.
"Man, I..." Evan said, but before anyone could say anything Mark began shrinking before their eyes. They all watched in stunned silence as he decreased in size, quickly disappearing into his clothing. His shirt began to collapse inward, and he was nowhere to be found.
A moment passed. "Mark?" Bill said, scared. They all heard a rustling, and Mark emerged from beneath his shirt, about six inches tall and totally naked. "What's going on!" he shouted. With his muscular build, Mark almost resembled a GI Joe action figure.
"The amulet..." Evan whispered. They all turned back to Mark, who had climbed onto the table by now. "I wished you would turn into a fairy, and..." But while Evan was talking, another change occured. Mark began grabbing at his back as he felt something moving on it. Quickly, two miniature silver butterfly wings emerged, and with a gasp Mark shot into the air.
The other guys began laughing despite themselves. "A fairy!" Evan yelled. "This is even better than what I had in mind!"
"You fucking ass, change me back!" Mark shouted. Then, he got an idea. Grinning, he repeated, "You fucking ass..."
