This choice: Matt idly wishes he had a few days to think about what to wish for • Go Back...Chapter #5Wishes he had a few days to think about it by: Texienne   (Last chapter was done in third person. Switching back to POV)
You realize you just made a wish while fiddling with the stone, but it's too late! You...
see nothing happen, and laugh. Of course not! You have all the time in the world. Nothing says you have to decide right away. You look for a safe place to keep the stone and chooses your treasure box', the place where you keep special items, like some ultra-rare cards, a signed baseball and baseball cap, and a few other mementos.
After putting it away, you consider the possibilities until sleeping.
The next morning, Julie comes in to wake you! She's on all fours on top of you as you lay in your bed, shaking you awake with her hands on your shoulders.
"Wake up, Matt! You gotta work your weekend job today, remember?"
You groan and open your eyes to see that her loose blouse is hanging open and her young breast are visible. You quickly look to the side.
"Careful what you're showing me, Julie!" you complain.
She figures out what you mean and sits up with her arms around her chest. "Matt, you pervert!"
"This isn't a stupid anime," you retort. "Get off me. I'm getting up"
"Hmph," she answers, then kisses you on the cheek. "Good morning kiss for my boyfriend. Score!"
She leaves the room and you get up, shaking your head.
When you get downstairs, Julie has actually cooked breakfast for you, with Mom's amused supervision.
Then, during breakfast, Julie reminds you, "Don't forget when you see those college girls, you're my boyfriend! No cheating!"
You almost choke on the bacon you're munching. You have to wash it down with coffee, Mom adds, "Now, Julie, Matt is working so hard, holding two jobs like that. You know he's doing it so he'll be ready to provide for you, right?"
You almost spit out the coffee. What is she talking about.
"But he never has any time to bring me on a date!" Julie complains.
"You're only thirteen," she tut-tuts. "There's lots of time in the future. Right now, he has to save for college. He needs to make sure he has enough to support you, too."
"Mom, that's years and years from now!"
"When I gave you two permission to date, I told Matt he couldn't play around. He must date you with the intention of marrying you. So he needs to have money to go to school so he can get a good job and be ready when you're old enough."
She then looks at you sternly. "And don't forget what you promised. Hold hands and kiss only on the cheek. Do nothing more, until she's old enough. Although you really should take her on a date, too."
This entire time, you've been unable to respond, but you've realized what has happened. You must have somehow wished your little sister into being your girlfriend. You nod and say, "You're right. I'll figure something out."
Julie sulks, "You stood me up, last night."
"That was unavoidable, Julie," Mom lectures. "His regular job called him in for overtime."
"I know that," she answered, pouting. "But we didn't go on our date last night, and today he'll have those college girls around him. It sucks!"
"it's time for you to get going, Matt," Mom points out. You look at the clock and nod, then get up and head for the door.
Behind you, you hear Mom advising, "Now give him a kiss and tell him to have a good day at work."
Julie chases you down and gets you to bend down at the front door for a peck on the cheek.
"Have a good day at work, honey!" she says brightly.
Mom chuckles and says, "Just like a bride."
Completely bewildered, you open the front door to head to your car. She tugs on your arm, getting you to stop. When you look back, she's checking over her shoulder to make sure Mom is no longer looking. Then she pulls your head down and gives you a kiss on the lips. "Come back quick!"
It's completely impossible to get your mind around this. You shake your head as you start the car and drive to your weekend job at...
