Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

More Wishing




    When I came home from school, I went up to my room and took out my homework, as always. As I did my homework and took Wish out of my pocket, I thought something I almost always think after school. I thought about how I, like most people, wished I didn't have homework. But I didn't just want someone else to do it for me, I wanted to do it, to learn from it, I just didn't like the hassle of the process of doing my homework. I wished I could stop time and go on some autopilot mode, or use a time machine or something.
   But I had Wish now. I could have anything.
   "Wish, can you pass time?" I asked, unable to hide the smile on her face.
   "I can grant any of your wishes," Wish said, opening up the top of her to reveal her screen again.
   "Can you skip to the time I'm done with doing my homework, and I'll do it very fast and neatly, please, Wish?" I asked.
   "No problem!" Wish replied brightly. Suddenly I had my hands on my binder and was sitting near my backpack, about to pack away my homework.
   "Unbelievable," I whispered in awe, still not believing what Wish was capable of.
    I threw open my binder, looking through my complete, neat homework, nicely organized and put away in each class's folder. A smile spread across my face, and once again all the possibilities of Wish overwhelmingly flashed through my mind.
   "Unbelievable," I said again, nearly shouting the word with joy.
   "You're pleased," Wish said with joy, not asking a question.
   "How could I not be? This is incredible!" Jane said. She looked at her watch. Her homework had only taken a minute. "Thank you, Wish!"
   "No problem," Wish said.
   I went downstairs, unsure what to do with my extra time, now that my homework was finished. I decided I'd watch some TV with my mom while I waited until it was time to eat.

   When it was time for dinner, I moaned inwardly as I remembered tonight, like any night, would just be another frozen dinner. Wish was still in my pocket, I soon realized, though. I touched her, wishing silently that we could go to my favorite restaurant with my family for free. Suddenly, when I pulled my hand out of my pocket, I had a gift card in my hand. I stood gaping for a moment, then turned to my mom.
   "Wait, let's go to that restaurant we all like," I suggested, then added, "I have a gift card there that my friend gave me for Christmas. I forgot I had it, I just found it again."
   "Yeah!" my two younger brothers agreed, and my family soon was at the restaurant. I took Wish in the pocket of one of my jackets and ordered a Medium-well steak with mashed potatoes and a cup of root beer. Then, for dessert, we ordered a family sized chocolate-y dessert that tasted delicious. I was afraid, though, that maybe our gift card would be too little for our dinner. My mom and dad were getting ready to pay, assuming my gift card didn't have much on it.
   The waitress came back with the gift card and, handing it back to me, said cheerfully,"It has $248.27 left."
   "Rich friend," my mom muttered on the way out in shock.
   "Yeah, you have no idea," I murmured beside her. And she didn't, and really, neither did I. Wish was amazing. Like a miracle worker.


   The next night, I came home and saw my mom's second job's uniform was hanging up, like it always was a few hours before my mom went to work. My backpack suddenly felt very heavy on my back as I remembered Mom was working her second job every night for the rest of this week. I reached for Wish in my jean pocket, but decided it was too late. Mom would be going to work in a few hours, I'd let her work tonight.
The next day, though, I asked Wish if she could get my mom's second job cleared for the rest of this week. Wish cheerfully agreed, as always, and my mom soon got a phone call saying they had enough workers this week, and if she wanted to still work. They'd even pay her if she didn't work this week, and she, of course, agreed.
    I realized by the end of the week, though, that Mom wasn't so cheerful about it. It was actually stirring worry in her.
   "I mean, are they gonna lay me off soon? If they had enough workers and didn't even call me in? I can't believe this is happening, I worked so hard! To get into that job and working in it. Sure it's my second job, but I work just as hard as in my other one," she said, in a sort of nervous, whiny tone.
   "Mom, I think they're rewarding you!" I said. "I mean, most people probably don't actually want to work, they think they're rewarding your good work. Don't worry so much." 
   She still seemed skeptical, but sighed.  I realized I needed something more. Something better, for all of us.  And Wish's words echoed in my mind. I can grant any of your wishes.

LOL xDD I think we all wish that Wish would be available at our local Wal Mart or Target xDD

Well, I don't know. :/ It's people's nature to want, and if they can't want, then I think everyone could be a lot different.  I mean, everyone would be spoiled, they'd all have what they wanted, but there are ambitious people, and people who want to see the world burn, so I think soon if everyone got their way, we'd all quickly change and go crazy. =P 

This is still amazing! Wish is so clever. ^^
Careful with the tenses though, you change from first person to third. Don't worry, I do that soo much. xDD
BUT I LOVE IT! MORE, MOREEEEEE!
Such a great storyyyy!
