Do you think its time? Asked the grandmother, well it is her 18th birthday the mother replied. As they approached the young woman sitting at the table in the kitchen eating her breakfast. Elizabeth said the mother, yes replied the young woman as she turned around and looked at her mother and grandmother well we have been discussing this for a long time an I think its time that you should know. Know what asked Elizabeth well we’ve been waiting till your 18th birthday and now its time to revel something to you. The women asked Elizabeth to come with them as they went down a hallway and entered a door that Elizabeth had never seen before in her own house. Thats funny I never seen this door here before asked Elizabeth. Thats because its been kept a secret till you were old enough the mother and grandmother said. But now its time to revel the secret. What secret could they be talking about wondered Elizabeth as they walked down the long hallway that seemed to go on forever. As soon as she thought it would never end they came to a big room that in the middle of the room was a big stone pedestal and something shiny was on top of the pedestal. As they reached the pedestal the mother and grandmother said some words that Elizabeth couldn’t quite make out but then she saw a great big flash and then what seemed like a dream as they were magically transported to another place that looked familiar but Elizabeth couldn’t quite make it out. As now the two older women came to Elizabeth and asked her to come to the pedestal. As she reached the pedestal she looked and saw a glowing green ring and wondered what could be going on. Its time for you to know that we come from a long line of witches and wizards said the two older women and now its time that you should join us. Wow as a shocked Elizabeth stood still looking at both the ring and the older women wondering if this was some kind of dream or if it was really real. Yes your mother and I are witches and my mother and so on. But wha how why? So many questions came to Elizabeth’s mind that she didn’t know where to start. I know how you feel we felt the same way when it was our time to become one. So that means that...... yes Elizabeth we can do magic thats what the ring does. Looking back at the ring as she forgot about it that contains your powers until you can control them on your own. Wow so you mean I have magic and powers? Asked Elizabeth. Yes but use them carefully as they are not just powerful but contain the power to change things and even lives. As Elizabeth took the ring and placed it on her finger she instantly felt the magic surge through her body and suddenly she became a witch now a member of the family witches. So what kind of things can you do with your powers? Asked Elizabeth. Oh lots of things, things that wouldn’t normally be possible in real life. So you mean I can just think about something and it will happen? Its not that easy. Said the two older women but you will get used to it. After a while of practicing with the ring the three women left the room and then proceeded with their day. Oh how I wish your father could see you now. As Elizabeth’s father passed away a few years ago. Well I have to head off to school so I’ll see you this afternoon. As she packed her things and left. Wow she thought as she looked at the ring I have the power to change things as she wondered what she would do first. She got to school and went to her locked as her best friend Jacki came up to her and wished her a happy birthday. Yeah I know lets go out and celebrate tonight how bout it? OK I’ll meet with you after school as Jacki went off to her class and Elizabeth went to hers still thinking about the events that happened this morning. She wondered all day about the possible things she could do with the ring and her new found power and decided to try just one thing as she mad a wish just like she practiced. And when she was done with the wish she saw the ring glow and then just like nothing happened in walked a beautiful blond girl that couldn’t have looked more then 20 years old. Wow Elizabeth said under her breath it worked! As her usual teacher was a bald fat man close to 50 years old. The teacher spoke and sounded like she didn’t know what was going on or had happened. Suddenly the ring tingled and as Elizabeth looked at it the two older women’s faces were showing in it as they congratulated her on her first spell. Wondering if she could do more then that she thought of another wish and then something happened after she got done speaking and she realized that she was no longer in her classroom but in a gym at what appeared to be her graduation. She was excited about the newfound powers but then the older women mentioned to take it easy as the powers also have some setbacks. Setbacks? Wondered Elizabeth oh well as she let that thought slip into the back of her mind and as she walked up on the stage to accept her diploma the ring glowed and suddenly Elizabeth felt funny as the gym started spinning and suddenly she felt herself thrusted forward and then she blanked out. As she woke up she realized that she was laying in a bed but didn’t know who’s bed. Ah your up as a tall skinny man walked in to the bedroom and greeted her as she looked at him her mind made the images that told her who he was he was her husband as she wondered what happened as she was a moment ago at her graduation as she looked around it seemed like she was in her bedroom as she seen pictures of her and Brad. And her P.H.D. Up on the wall as soon as she got up she noticed that the ring wasn’t on her finger anymore she started to panic as she tried to collect her thoughts her memory then came to and reminded that she met Brad at college and then married him soon afterwards. Her mother now living in a retirement home on the other side of town and her grandmother now gone she wondered it this was the bad side of the ring that they were talking about. She gently got up out of the bed went over and kissed Brad who was getting ready for the day and then went over into the next room and looked in to see if her beautiful 3 year old son Jackson was awake. In the room she saw a mirror and looked herself over well she said at least I look good as she checked herself over in the mirror. She was a tall blond with size C cups and as she felt them she felt a tingle come over her man do I look good or what and right after she said that she found herself looking at the mirror but it wasn’t herself looking back instead it was the image of a women in her 30’s and looked to be 4 to 5 months pregnant because she could see the belly on the woman and the breasts were fuller then usual. As soon as she turned away from the mirror she looked at her body and saw it changing into the body she saw in the mirror. Oh God! She thought this cant be happening as the belly started to form and her now size DD cups began filling out the maternity clothes she was now wearing. I cant be pregnant Then she thought of the ring and the first wish she had made on it. Thats it she said when I wished I could see my future this must be it. Well I might as well live it for a while as I don’t know when I’ll be going back. As she looked at her now pregnant self she felt a kick from the baby and felt a great sensation as Brad came into the bedroom. Hi sweety he said trying to make her feel better as Brad knew that the pregnancy was taking a toll on her. Suddenly she felt something burst and she wondered what had happened as she now realized she was going into labor and that bursting was her water breaking. But what? I was just only 5 months pregnant a minute ago? BRAD! She shouted and as quickly as she shouted he ran up the stairs and asked what was wrong? I think its “TIME” really you mean now? Brad asked yes and its coming on quickly. So as soon as he could he grabbed his thing and her bag with the stuff that was packed for this moment and as he quickly opened his cell and started dialing as fast as he could he called everybody he could think of starting with his parents who just happened to live only a few miles away. He rushed her to the truck and helped her in but also took his time to prevent her from getting hurt. He floored his truck as fast as he could hoping that no cops were around to make this much worse. They arrived as fast as they could with the hospital staff waiting when they got there. Elizabeth was quickly taken to the birthing rooms where her contractions quickly got worse and worse. It seemed like hours but it ended up being only 5 minutes before she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She thought that the ring must have had something to do with only being in labor for a few minutes to her but to the rest of the world it was more then 15 hours and they had watched her struggle through the pain with Brad by her side coaching her along the whole time. Afterwards what to her was only another few minutes but to the rest of the world was another whole week she went home with baby Nicole in her arms and so glad to be leaving and returning home. There waiting for her was her mom. She knew something was up and wondered what it was? Well as her mother looked at her and time froze so just the two of them could talk What do you think of your life for the next 40 odd years? I like it said Elizabeth. You do know you can have the option to stay here for a period of time and if you chose so time will change to a regular pace for you but it means that the wish will have ended and you would have to make another wish if you changed your mind. But the ring? Elizabeth started to question. Its protected in the place that it came from the only place your powers come from straight from your heart. OK then as Elizabeth thought deeply into her heart and wanted this and suddenly she felt a cool breeze rush across her and time started up again only this time she knew that this was real and the wish had indeed ended so she would no longer see any more of her future and it would stay just like it was now.

As she went up to the new nursery that Brad had converted from and empty room she looked at Nicole and smiled when both Brad and Jackson walked in and they stood around looking in amazement and Brad told her to go to bed as she was still recovering and was looking tired as she had just endured 9 months of being pregnant and childbirth in only a little more then a hour. She woke up the next morning and loved what she saw knowing it was real. It had been a few years since she had chosen to make that wish end and live the life that was made for her as she liked it very much. Good morning honey as she went and kissed Brad on the cheek. And good morning to you my two wonderful kids. Hi mommy, Nicole said, Jackson who was now a teenager and of course just nodded as to him and his friends it was not very “cool” to talk with their parents. “OK guys get ready for school” Brad yelled to them. “Bye Guys” Elizabeth yelled, “Nicole remember I have to pick you up early for a dentist appointment so be waiting for me”. OK, Nicole said, as Jackson was in his freshman year of high school he still had the same group of friends that he’s had since elementary school and they stick up for each other, While Nicole was just entering 6th grade and had her own friends and many new problems to go with them. Her friends wanted to take her shopping for clothes that to them “attracted boys” but to her just made them look like little girls in womens clothes. When she told Elizabeth about her problem, Elizabeth just told her that she would “take care of it” as she was planning to use her powers to change things, now she had used her powers to help her kids more then once but she tried not to use them as she thought that it wasn’t right but sometimes she knew they could use the help. So that afternoon when Elizabeth picked up Nicole from school she worked her magic on the group that Nicole had mentioned and boy did it work out as suddenly their clothes turned from being “attracting boys” to just plain “girly girl” clothes and Nicole couldn’t believe her eyes at what she saw. Elizabeth turned to her and told her to be quiet as Nicole still looked shocked as to what had happened. Elizabeth knew that it would still be a few years till she could reveal to Nicole about the powers that the women in her family contained but she couldn’t wait till then. As they reached the dentists office Nicole started to cringe, as she had hated going to the dentist ever since she was little and had to have her 2 front teeth removed when she got in to an accident at home. She never really seemed to be in any pain due to the help of her mom’s powers though it was the thought that creped her out. When they got out of the office Elizabeth’s cell phone rang and as she answered it she worked her magic so that Nicole wasn’t in any pain but still was quite numb from getting her mouth worked on. She knew it was Brad from the Caller ID but didn’t know why he would be calling her at this time, He should have been at work. As she talked with him she learned that Jackson and his group of friends had gotten into a fight with some bullies at the high school and was in the principals office as a result. She said she would be right there after she dropped Nicole off back home. When she arrived at the high school she learned that Jackson and his friends were being bullied by one of the biggest known groups of bullies that were there at the high school. And as they tried to stick up for themselves they got themselves into a fight with the bullies and lost. But it was the principal who thought that they started the fight as he thought that the bullies weren’t bullies but just jocks as they were the best football players in the school and had decided to punish Jackson and his friends instead as he didn’t want anything to happen to is “Star” football players. Elizabeth was so mad at the principal after she left the high school but knew that nothing could be done except to use her powers and she knew never to use her powers out of anger, she then thought of a better idea but it made her think a while before she decided to do it. She wanted to make Jackson, Nicole’s twin but to accomplish that she would have to turn Jackson back into a 6th grader. She knew all the 6th grade parents and knew that there were no bullies to mess with Jackson and it would be fun for Nicole because both of their minds wold be changed to make it known that they were twins. She wanted to do it to not only help Jackson but also the whole family. She worked up the magic required for it because she knew that it would take a lot to do so. When she had enough she concentrated hard enough to make the spell active but did quite know if it worked until she noticed Jackson beginning to change and become younger. When he stopped changing she knew it was over because not only Jacksons mind had changed but also everybody else’s. She now knew that she had twin 6th graders and that they loved each other and stuck up for each other but still had their fair share of sibling rivalries. She felt exhausted as she used a lot of energy to perform the spell. She got home and went straight up to her bedroom and fell asleep.
