Hello.
EPISODE: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
It took Samantha over a week to track down Clarissa.
The woman sighed as she leaned against a nearby street light.
"My rule is whoever manages to track me down a second time can receive a wish. I'm not easy to find more than once, you know," she said. "What is your wish, Samantha?"
"I want you to free Judith," Samantha stated.
"Ok-"
"I'm not finished," Samantha interrupted. "I wish Judith, the girl you are about to free, was my older sister, related to me by blood and no other means. I wish we would get along really well and never argue; we share the same parents; we share the same room; and if anyone ever picks on me, Judith will protect me and defend me."
Clarissa grinned, proud that the girl had taken her advice on wording wishes carefully and being careful what you wish for.
"Done," she stated.
Samantha blinked, and when she opened her eyes, she was standing in her bedroom at home, but this time, there were two beds and much more stuff than before, due to the room having two occupants whether than one. Pictures decorated the walls, showing Judith and Samantha together in every single one, sometimes with their parents, friends, or just the two of them, but not one photograph pictured only one girl. They were side by side in all of them.
It worked.
Samantha swallowed an ecstatic squeal, and she bolted down the stairs to find Judith sitting at the table.
"Hey, little sis!" she exclaimed. Information appeared in Samantha's mind. Judith's birthday is August 19th, and she is ten months older than Samantha, so they're still in the same grade, despite one girl being older. "Ready to catch the bus?"
Samantha grinned. "Yep. Let's go, big sis."
The two of them walked out the door, Judith's arm wrapped around Samantha's shoulders, almost protectively.
Samantha had never been happier.
She'd always wanted to be friends with Judith, and this was even better!
Samantha's foot twisted around another girl's during basketball practice, and she hit the floor hard, banging her elbows sharply against the gym floor.
"Ha, did Byrd try to fly again?" another player mocked.
"Hey!" Judith shouted, storming over. "Take it back!"
"And if I don't?" the player demanded.
"Well, then, you'll find out what happens to people who mess with my little sister!" Judith growled.
"I think you should apologize, Jenna!" Emma, another player, called out. "Judith is fiercely protective."
Jenna scoffed. "I'm not afraid of a little squirt half my si-"
She cried out as Judith's fist connected with her nose, and she stumbled back, clutching a hand to her nose.
"I tried to warn you," Emma muttered. "She may look small, but when she's protecting her sister, she can be stronger than ten grown men."
"Judith!" the coach yelled. "You're benched for the next two games. Emma, take Jenna to the nurse."
"You got benched for me?" Samantha asked in disbelief.
Judith slung an arm around her shoulders. "It was worth it."
It felt good to have a sister, a permanent friend, and the fact that it was Judith, the girl she'd always wanted to be friends with, only made it better…
Samantha had made four wishes before this one. One wish made her team lose the game. Another turned everyone into flies. A third made Judith incredibly clingy. A fourth caused Judith to become a statue. All four wishes had ended in disaster.
But because of her fifth wish, she had a great, protective sister- a friend, a body guard, a confident, and so much more all rolled into one. She didn't need to worry about bullies or being alone all the time. She had Judith now, and that made her more happy than words can express.
This wish was proof that wishes don't always end badly…
Not my favorite chapter, but I think it was still good. Make sure to tell me what you think in the reviews! Thanks for reading! Goodbye, everyone!
