You slowly turn to see the person holding the same packet of Rainbow Drops that you brought home. You shiver as you see your ex-girlfriend, 18-year old red-haired Mary Birch, shaking the small bag in her hand, as if to taunt you.
"Mary! What are you doing here?
"I just thought that I'd drop by," Mary answers, "Have you seen Melina around?"
You gulp as you see Mary looking curiously at the bag in her hand, as if she did not realize what she just asked. "No I haven't. Mary, can I have those sweets back?"
"Why?" she asks, "What's wrong with them?"
"They're my sweets!"
"They're just candy! Why can't I just have one?"
"Please! Just give them back!"
"As long as I can pinch one first."
"You can't!"
"Why not? Why are you acting so childish, Eddy?"
Believing that you will not win this argument, you let out a big sigh. "I can't tell you."
"Are they magic?" she asks, to your horror. "It says by hear that they can grant my wishes! Sounds like a laugh!"
You cringe as Mary places a yellow drop in her mouth and makes a wish. "I wish I had blue eyes." Suddenly you watch as her green eyes are coated with a beautiful shade of blue. She glances at the mirror on the wall, and is in shock. She looks at the packet in disbelief, but then develops a smile on her lips.
"Okay, you made your wish, now can I have them back, please?"
To your disarray, she pulls out a purple drop from the packet. "One more couldn't hurt, couldn't it?" She suddenly notices the look of anguish on your face. "Let's make a few changes, shall we?" She places the drop in her mouth and makes another wish.
It's too late. As you reach out to stop her, Mary has already made her second wish. But what does she wish for?
