I looked over at where I had been standing. I was gone, but my clothes were in a pile over there. I ran over, rummaged in the pile, and found the ring (Thank God!).
I put the ring on and whispered a variation of the first wish I'd ever made:
"I wish that no one but I, Joey, could remove this ring, but that I could do it no matter my form or what body I might be occupying."
"Carmy, what are you muttering about?" asked Dot Blanc. "Come on, the sooner we shower and get changed, the sooner we can go shopping!"
I followed Dot into the girl's locker room. (I first wished my "Joey" clothes -- not including the ring -- would appear with the rest of my dirty laundry at my home.) I found I was able to tap into Carmella's memories, so I knew which was her locker, and what the combination was. After I opened it, I began to undress. I noticed the "other" girls around me doing the same.
I was starting to realize, no matter how I might feel about being inside a girl's body, this promised to be fun.
