The Revenge Bracelet Part 3

There may have been some side effects of the bracelet that Nick did not foresee. When you change one's existence, you change their past and future along with their present. Asami was born eight years earlier than Dave and Hanoko was born eight years later than Corey. From the distant past to the more recent, everything changed. Some changes could not be easily predicted.

One day earlier...
Nick had just walked his girlfriend Asami home. Wasn't too hard considering they live right across the street from each other. Nonetheless, Asami gave her boyfriend a big kiss and went into her house. Tomorrow was her and Nick's anniversary and she still didn't know what to get him. It was then by chance that she saw a commercial for a new local shop called Heavenly Gifts that claimed to have items of magical properties. Deciding it was at least worth a look, she drove there to look for a gift. When she got there, she was met by a strange middle-aged woman.

"You are looking for a gift for someone you hold dear.", the woman said.

"Yeah... How do you know?", Asami questioned.

"I have the ability to sense the needs of my customers. This is my magic shop after all."

"Okay..." Asami was a little creeped. "Well, know what I should get for me and my boyfriend's anniversary?"

"You do not know? Well, I got the perfect gift for those who don't know what to get for someone else."

"A gift card?"

"A wishing card." She handed Asami a small birthday card-like thing. "This card can grant any target a single wish of his or whoever's will. Whatever wish you or him desire will come true, only as long as they pertain to the target of the wish."

"Oh really. And how much does this card cost?"

"Two dollars."

"Two dollars? For a wish?"

"I find it that most of my customers are skeptical about the concept of magic. That's why I always allow my first time customers a cheaper price."

"Well, what do I have to lose? I'll take it. At the very least, I get a card." With that exchange, Asami bought the card and went home. As soon as she got there, she wrote her personal message in the card and wrote Nick's name in the blank labeled Object of wish. She then put the card in the drawer of her desk.

Present day...

"Asami! I'm home! Nick's here to.", Hanoko shouted. Asami rushed to get her jewelry on and darted out of the door to meet Nick.

"Hello, handsome.", she greeted.

"Hello, beautiful. You remember what today is?"

"How could I forget? Did you get me something?"

"It would a crime if I didn't.", he grinned. "What about you."

"Oh, right! I just remembered." She turned to her sister. "Hanoko, could you go get me my card for Nick. It's in my drawer."

"You only got him a card?"

"It's supposed to be more than that. Please, just get it while Nick and I 'socialize'."

"Whatever." With that, Hanoko left. " I still don't see what he sees in her!" Hanoko thought to herself. "A card! I would of given him at least a box of chocolates or something. Asami can be such a ditz sometimes." She finally found the card and decided to look into it. "Wish card? Did she really fall for such a trick? Does she really think this would grant wishes?! How is this even supposed to work? Let's see. 'Object of wish: Nick Williams' and 'wish'. Hmmm..."  Hanoko thought of what she would wish for. She didn't believe in the card, the thought of three wishes simply opened her imagination and fantasies. "Honestly, I think I would just like another friend as talented and smart as I am. Most of other girls look down on me because of my perfect grades or my musical prowess. To them, I'm just little miss perfect. I'd really like a girl friend who could respect me for my achievements instead of belittling me for them. I honestly can't think of much else." Unbeknownst to the girl, her internal wishes were recorded and written in the card. Since the card knew the wisher here wasn't Nick, the wish was recorded as 'I wish Hanoko Sato had a friend as smart and talented as herself to relate to.' and since Nick was to be the object of all the wishes...

"Here you go, sis.", Hanoko said while giving her sister the card.

"Thanks, Hanoko. And here's your present, Nick." Asami handed Nick the card. He just stared at it uncomfortably, disappointed that this is what his perfect girlfriend got him.

"A...card?" He began to read the front: 'Best wishes from me to you.'

"Look inside of it. There's supposed to be a big surprise." Nick opened the card thinking there had to be something of value in it, like money or something. However, as soon as he opened it, a light engulfed him while the magic of Hanoko's wish went into effect.

Time was basically frozen when the changes started. Nick first began to get younger, his height decreasing form 5'11" to 3'11" while his face and body lost definition and muscle. By this time, he looked like when he was ten years old, but the changes didn't stop there. His brown hair started to grow past his ears while two small but existing breasts perpetrated his chest. His little ten year old muscles faded even further and his height fell another two inches. He gained subtle curves and his hips expanded slightly, enough for a girl his age. That strangeness was quickly resolved by the passing of his boyhood into girlhood. Finally, his t-shirt shirt transformed into a more fitting purple shirt and his blue jeans changed to fit her new body more snugly with panties appearing under them. A violin appeared in her hand as her mind and entire history was rewritten. Nick Williams had now fully become Natalie Williams, second chair violin at the same middle school as Hanoko. She had just come here to practice with her best friend and deliver a friendship bracelet she bought for her. The new girl blinked as she recuperated.

"Excuse me Asami, but where's Hanoko?", Natalie asked.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!", Hanoko bursted, having been the only one to remember the old Nick.

"Hanoko, what's wrong?", Asami asked.

"What's wrong is that your boyfriend just became a little girl!"

"What are you talking about? I don't even have a boyfriend."

"Hanoko,", Natalie said concerned. "I just came here to practice. If this is your idea of a sick joke, it's not funny."

"This isn't a joke!"

"She might be having some type of breakdown.", Asami suggested.

"In that case..." Natalie handed Hanoko the friendship bracelet she got for her. Hanoko was too stunned to not accept it. "I brought this for you. I'm Natalie Williams, we've been best friends since kindergarden. The bracelet glowed as Hanoko was implanted with new memories. She no longer thought of herself as an outcast or alone. She had her best friend Natalie on her side at all times, even in band.

"Right... I'm sorry, Natalie. I don't know what came over me."

"It's okay, let's just say the incident never happened." With that said, anyones' memories of Hanoko's breakdown were erased except for Natalie's, which were more faded then completely gone.

"So... Ready to go practice?", Natalie asked.

"You bet! And thanks for the bracelet."

"No problem." Natalie smiled with pride, not because she was aware of what she had given, but rather because she was generally glad she was able to help a friend.

"Don't forget, Natalie has to be home by six.", Asami reminded. "I will not get into trouble for keeping y'all too late." Asami was left alone to her thoughts. "Hmph. I remember when I got in trouble with mom and dad for staying at John Riley's house when I was her age. I wonder how he is now. I could use a new boyfriend after all this time."
