Third Floor Common Room, Sunday afternoon

Johnny had been a little busy since eventually figuring out the wish thing yesterday. All of his clothes were fireproof now. He had a danger sense that would alert him if anyone within a quick flight was in danger and needed a superhero. He had a great cup of coffee this morning. And now...

"I wish there was a fully stocked party going on in this common room that could get as loud as we want without disturbing anyone outside of the room, with food, drinks, a live DJ, fancy lights, and... and... I think that's it!" Johnny waved his hand and, boom, party going on.

He took a look at the drink selection and sighed. "I wish we could have some alcohol in this party." Handwave. Nothing happened. "I wish for booze." Handwave nothing happened. "I wish for a nice hat?" Johnny waved his other hand. Nothing happened.

"My wishing broke," he sighed. "At least that coffee was really good."

"Is it somebody's birthday?" Alana asked from the doorway when she spotted the set-up -- and then left the doorway and cameo ver to give Johnny a kiss hello. "Hi, by the way."

"That's the best way to say hi ever," Johnny said after the kiss. "And, no, I was just trying to celebrate magical wishing powers, but I guess it fizzled out. Oh well."

"Best I can manage in public, anyhow," Alana said mischievously. "And oh, is that going on for everybody? Raven was all worried yesterday that she'd wished her powers away."

Alana herself had casually wished she could turn into an elephant, but -- as elephantizing herself was rarely a priority -- she hadn't yet realized that wish had come true.

"What did you get so far?"

"Fireproof clothes, a fantastic cup of coffee, this party, a superhero thing, and knowing food from Mara's galaxy," Johnny said. "That last one happened before I knew what was happening. Otherwise I would have gotten something way better for it."

"Depends how good her food was," Alana decided. "I haven't wished for anything except ... oh, crap. Hang on."

She closed her eyes, and her skin began to thicken and turn grey as a long trunk sprouted from her upper lip. A few minutes later, Alana was gone and a very small, very cute elephant stood where she had been.

It blinked at Johnny.

"... Okay, that was unexpected," Johnny asked, bending down to look at his girlfriend, the elephant. "Why would you wish for that?"

It's a long story, the elephant tried to say -- and utterly failed at, because Alana had neglected to specify she should be able to turn into a talking elephant.

She saw nothing to do but to change back. Luckily for her modesty,somehow her clothes remained firmly in place. "It's a long story," she said. "Raven said how she turned into an elephant for a fight once, and I thought it sounded like fun. Might have said it, like, 'I wish I could do that.' So ... presto."

"Oh! That makes more sense. For a second I thought you just wished it, like, right now," Johnny said. "And that would have been weird."

"So how was it being a tiny elephant?"

Alana crinkled her nose. "Stompy," she decided. "As in, I really wanted to stomp, but that would have ruined the party. Probably after I leave here I'll go outside and stomp around until all my aggression is gone."

"Are you kidding? An elephant stomping around can only make the party better," Johnny said. "The only bad part would be missing you as you are."

Yes, he preferred her as a person instead of an elephant.

"See, but I'd turn back," Alana pointed out. "How about I use my other wishes so I don't waste them on a pile of peanuts or something, and then I'll elephant up for the rest of the night."

"I like this plan, especially since I want to know what you'd wish for," Johnny said. "I'm a nosy boyfriend, clearly. And I only got five, so head's up on that."

"Did you try wishing for more wishes?" Alana wondered. "Or is that breaking the rules?"

"I would've tried if I knew I had a limit," Johnny said. "If you try it and it works, could you wish for more wishes for me? Like, make that number six, just in case."

"I wish that I get a hundred wishes," Alana said. "... okay, so I'm not going to know whether thatworked for a while. Um. I wish the war with Wreath would end."

That wasn't much for immediate effect, either. Alana could check her comm and see what the headlines said, but it was simpler to see if this was working by saying something like, "And I wish I had a huge box of chocolate truffles."

The box appeared on a table beside her, and Alana grinned at it. "Want one?"

"Absolutely," Johnny said reaching over for one. "You go big with the wishes, don't you? I mean, other than this one."

"Shouldn't you?" Alana wondered aloud. "I figure I can get the small stuff for myself."

"I just like to see it," Johnny said. "Like, if I knew I had limits, I would have just made cup of coffee for myself earlier. Probably. I wouldn't have made it as good as the wish did, though."

"Yeah, that would kind of feel like a waste," Alana admitted. "Though, I dunno. Good coffee is an amazing thing."

"And it was the best coffee," Johnny said. "I wouldn't suggest using your fifth wish on it though. It wasn't THAT good."
