Chapter 7 by mostlyclothed

What do I do now?

Go watch the movie damn it.

It took me a moment to register what just happened. Not only was I just told I had the power to wish for whatever I wanted, but a beautiful girl, or whatever she was, just kissed me and told me to call whenever I wanted. Not that I had any idea of how to call her, but that was a problem for a later date. I raised my hands to my lips and touched them for a second.

Oh my god. My mind started racing. For the first time since entering the theater, I felt like I knew a little bit of what was happening. While I didn't understand it, at least I wasn't completely crazy. I had wished for it to "not be a pain " to get to the theater and everyone disappeared. It made sense, in some crazy fictional way.

But what could I do first?

That was easy. Watch the movie I came here for. I may have just been given the power to do whatever the hell I wanted, but by god did I want to watch the movie now. After all, I had paid for a ticket. But first...

I wish the spot on my shirt was gone.

"Oh my god that was good!" David exclaimed as we left the theater.

"I know right! The cinematography was amazing. When they fought at the end, It was so amazing!" Roger agreed.

"I know! I loved it!" I agree with both of them, the movie had been really good. For a "summer blockbuster", it had surprised me quite a lot.

"Cree should have survived." Parker added.

"I know! It was so sad! But it was apart of the comics!" Roger and his comic history.

I will admit though, it was hard to concentrate on the movie with the newfound knowledge I had. Every moment I wasn't engrossed in the movie, my thoughts strayed to the girl in the hallway and my newfound power. I resisted trying it out in the theater, because I didn't want to ruin the movie, but I was so excited to try it out.

The other three continued to talk about the movie as we walked down the street towards where we had parked our cars. Suddenly a light bulb turned on. I could wish for anything, why not wish for a better car?

I could feel my heart rate jump when I realized i could do it. It was an easy thing to start off with. Its not that I had a bad car, but why not have a better one?

I closed my eyes as we approached my car. I wish I drove a new Mazda Miata RF. Don't judge me, they were so much fun, and it was the first car that popped into my mind.

"By the way, John, Im still jealous of your car" I opened my eyes when Parker spoke. Looking up towards where I had parked, a shimmering white Mazda Miata RF sat where my old car had been, temp tags about a month out from expiring. I smiled so wide I bet it looked creepy to anyone else.

Suddenly, new memories entered my mind along side the ones I had of my old car. I had gotten some money from a relative which allowed me to put a payment down on the car while trading in my old car. I had loved every moment so far with it.

"I love it dude. Its so much fun around the corners." Parker laughed.

"I bet dude. You gonna let me drive it soon?"

"Uh, sure! Maybe this weekend."

"Awsome!" He fist pumped in the air. Parker, David and I all shared a love of cars. I was the first to get a new car. At least that's what my memory told me.

We reached my car and I opened the door during a break in traffic. David, Parker, and Roger kept walking.

"Ill see you at home!"

"Sounds good dude. Don't crash!"

I laughed. "Will do!" I shouted back.

I sat down in the car with and pressed the ignition. The car started instantly. I smiled.

When does it dawn on me?
