©2010 - Andrea Ribeiro Many thanks to Stanman63 for editing.! Previously:I look at Mindy and her mom, “Does anyone have an idea of what exactly happened here tonight?” |
“Interesting? It’s more like a nightmare, I never asked for this, I only wanted to be a normal girl.” I start to sob.
“Don’t be like that, Joanie.” Mindy pleads while holding me tightly. “I think you were given a great gift, and being normal is overrated, anyway.”
“You.. (sob) think so?”
“Look at me and my mom, we are both witches, hardly normal, isn’t it?”
“Yes.... but why do I feel like I’m way out of my depth here?”
“Maybe because you haven’t come to term about what happened, yet.” Mrs Wright says.
“How can I? A little over a week ago I was a regular person and now I find
out I’m becoming a goddess. I’m getting afraid of myself.”
“Why?” Mindy asks me.
“I’m afraid of what I might become. I never asked for power nor wanted it, and I’m afraid of what it might do to me.”
“Are you afraid of getting corrupted by it?” Mrs Wright aska me.
“Yes.” I say as look down.
“It’s good that you are afraid of that, Joan. It will help to keep your head on straight, power can be very addictive, that’s why it corrupts so many people,” she says .
“But how do I avoid that?”
“I think your goddesses friends will help you with that, and I don’t think
Rhea would have given you almost all her essence if she didn’t think you were unable to deal with the consequences.”
“You need to be more confident about yourself, Joanie.” Mindy says.
“I guess I don’t really have a choice but to deal with it, huh??” I ask.
“We all have a choice, Joan. So do you,” Mrs. Wright affirms.
“Still... I feel so lost right now.”
“Don’t worry, Joanie. We are here for you.” Mindy vows, giving me a peck on my lips.
“Thank you, Mindy, Mrs Wright.”
“Call me Megan, and no Mrs please, I’m not married.”
“Oh... OK... M..Megan.” I say shyly.
“Or you can call her aunt Meg.” Mindy says with a giggle.
“Aunt Meg?”
“I kinda like the sound of it. You can call me Aunt Meg or Aunt Megan if you want, Joan.”
“I think I should go back home, it’s getting late and I was supposed only to walk you home.” I tell Mindy.
“I’ll walk you out the door,” she responds.
“Bye, Aunt Meg, I hope to see you soon.”
“You will, I’ll help you with your magical education, remember?”
“I was forgetting about that.” I blush.
“I’ll talk to my daughter later to arrange it, OK?”
“OK.”
“Bye bye, Joan.” She says with a hug.
Mindy accompanies me outside and closes the front door, gives me a long
lingering kiss, I again melt in her arms. After our lips part, she looks at me, “I’ll see you tomorrow, Sweety.”
“I sure hope so.”
“Are you going to school tomorrow?”
“I don’t know. I am supposed to be home recuperating from the surgery, remember?”
“I think you could go to school, just say you just can’t strain yourself physically.”
“I guess. I’ll talk to Mom when I get back home.”
“That’s my girl, now come here,” she says, embracing me, giving me another kiss.
“If you keep doing that I’ll never be able to leave.”
“Who says that I want you to leave?”
“I have too. My parents will get worried.”
“OK.” she pouts.
“You look so cute pouting.”
“You better go before I jump on you and kiss you again.”
“Hmmmm... tempting.”
“Don’t tease me, you meanie.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Sweety.” I tell her, giving gave her one last peck on her lips.
“See you tomorrow, Sweety.”
I walk back home still thinking about what happened tonight. It was all a bit mind blowing, but I also found out that Mindy has feelings for
me, her kisses.... oh my... I simply melt every time she kisses me.
When I get home, Mom and Dad ar in the living room waiting for me.
“Hi Mom, Dad. I’m home.”
“We were getting worried, Sweety.” Mother responds
“Sorry, Mom. When we got to Mindy’s house, her mom invited me in and we talked for a bit.”
“Next time, try to call us to say that you are going to be a while, OK?” Dad responds.
“OK, Daddy.”
“Do you think I should go to school tomorrow?” I ask them.
“I don’t see why not,” Mom says.
“I am supposed to be home healing from my surgery, remember?”
“Yes, but you are healed enough now, aren’t you?” asks Dad.
“Yes I am. Did you contact the school to let them know about me?”
“Yes, I took all your documentation about your change of status on Friday,” admits Mom.
“OK. I’m going to school tomorrow. I’ll take a shower and go to bed.”
“Good night,” Mom says, giving me a kiss on the cheek
“Good night, Pumpkin.” Dad says, giving me a hug and kiss on the forehead.
“Good night Mommy, Daddy.”
I go upstairs, knock on Josh’s door.
“Come in Joan.”
I open the door, “How did you know it was me?”
“I just did., and Jen already said goodnight to me.”
“I have something for you.” I say, showing him the silver piece of metal.
“What is it?”
“It is something the goddess Diana said to give to you. She gave me one and
it became this bracelet.” I say showing him my bracelet.
He reaches for it, when he touches the silver, it starts to twist, climbing his hand and settling on his wrist like mine did me, turning into a thicker band of silver, becoming a very nice bracelet that looks good
on him.
“She said you can make it invisible if you want. It will help you control your new abilities.”
“You mean my powers?”
“Abilities, when you say Powers it sounds like something out of a superhero comic book.”
“It is an appealing thought.”
“What?”
“Being a super hero, helping those in need.”
“I don’t think either of us is ready for any of that.” I telld him a bit worriedly.
“Don’t worry about it, I don’t think it would work out in the real world.”
“OK. we better go to bed, we have to wake up early tomorrow.”
“Are you going to school tomorrow?”
“Yes, and I’m a little worried of how people will react.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there to protect you.”
“Thanks, Josh. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night.” I say giving him a hug and a peck on his cheek.
“Good night, Joan.”
I go to my bedroom, Jen is on her bed reading a book.
“Hi sis.” .
“Hi, how did things go with Mindy?”
I look at my feet, start to blush. “O..okay, I guess.”
“Ohhh you are blushing. Something happened, didn’t it? Tell me all about it.” She asks excitedly.
“There is no way I can go to bed without telling, is there?”
“None whatsoever, now spill.”
“We... well... we... kissed.” I tell her turning a very bright shade of red.
“And.....”
“And I started to glow.”
“Glow?”
“Yes, glow.”
“How?”
“I don’t know. It just happened when she kisses me, I feel this glow
growing from inside me, a blissful feeling, when I noticed, Mindy told me that I was glowing.”
“Oh my... I wish I had seen that.”
“After that her mom went outside, looks at me and faints.”
“It seems you had a very busy night, sis.”
“That was just the beginning, sis.”
“What else happened?”
I tell her all that happened tonight and about Diana’s appearance.
“A goddess? My sister a goddess? That’s so cool.”
“Diana also gave me this.” I say showing her the ring on my hand.
“That’s a very pretty ring, sis.”
“It’s for you.”
“For me?”
“Yes, It will help you to develop any latent magical ability you might have and protect you from some magical attacks, and you’ll study magic with me, Josh and Mindy.”
“What? You mean I’ll be able to use magic too?”
“Probably. Here, take the ring and put it on. I have the feeling it will fit perfectly.”
She reaches for the ring, puts it on, it starts to glow for a few seconds before returning to normal.
“I think it is working.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Jen says over and over with her eyes filled with tears.
“What for?”
“For this.” she says, holding up her hand showing the ring. “I was feeling
left out with you guys being able to do magic and stuff.”
“That’s why I asked Diana for the ring, sis. I didn’t want to make you feel that you are being left out. Even though all this magic business still scare the heck out of me.”
“Thank you sis.” she says, giving me a VERY big hug.
“Sis... I... can’t... breath...” I joke.
“Oh you...” She say, slapping me on my arm.
“I need to go take a shower now. Need to wake up early tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to school tomorrow.”
“Can I help you with your hair and makeup tomorrow?” she asks me with a very big smile on her face.
“You really are enjoying your new life size barbie doll, aren't you?”
“Heck yes.”
“OK, Sis, you can help me tomorrow morning. I would have asked you anyway.”
After the shower I go back to my room and Jen is waiting to help me dry my hair, “You know, Sis, I always wanted a sister to do things like this with.”
“And I always wanted you to do things like this to me.”
“It seems that in the end we both got our wishes.”
“I think so,” relaxing under her ministrations.
After she finishes with my hair, I change into a pink nightgown and go to bed.
“Good night sis.” I tell her.
“Good night, Sis. Sweet dreams.”
“Sweet dreams.”
I just hope everything goes well tomorrow. How will people react to the new me? Will they accept me?
To Be Continued...

Would the people at school
Would the people at school even know that there was a difference about Joan, Josh and her family, as their perception of reality has been changed? I thought only Megan and Mindy were able to see the real reality because they were witches? Just wondering I guess.
It Was Established...
...a while back, I think, that in this worldline John and Josh were born as male twins, and that John has just become Joan. So that's the difference that they'll spot in school.

She might be fearing that there are other magic users or other gods and goddesses who have avatars there to stop her.
