Wish yourselves apart. (It doesn’t work)

“Annie, I LOVE having our nipples stuck together,” you said. “But I’d like to be able to walk around normally for a little bit. This is a bit restricting.”

“Do we have to?” Annie asked, giving you puppy dog eyes and a pout.

“We do this again later. How about this? If you unstick us, I won’t wear clothes for the rest of the evening!”

“Like you weren’t going to do that anyway! But sure, I’ll unstick out nipples now.”

The two of you hobbled back to the bedroom where the stick was still laying on Annie’s bedside table. She picked up the wand and concentrated for a moment. But when she pulled back, but your nipples were still stuck together.

“What happened?” you asked.

“Hold on, let me try again.”

Still nothing.

“You know how to get us apart. Right?” you asked, starting to feel a little nervous.

“I think so! Maybe I just need to be a little more specific”

She concentrated again, but it still nothing changed.

“Are you sure you get more than one wish?” you asked.

“I already used two! And it never told me about any limit. Maybe if I say it out loud.” She gripped the wand firmly, and announced with conviction, “I wish our nipples were no longer stuck to each other!”

Still nothing. Annie tried pulling hard, stretching her and your tits hard enough to make you gasp, but your nipples were completely inseparable.

“How did you make the first wish? Are you doing something different?”

“No! I just held it in my hand and thought about what I wanted it to do. I thought it out in words, but I felt like it was hearing my whole idea, not just the literal words I thought.”

“Well, what were the words?” You were almost shouting now.

“It was, let’s see… ‘I wish that Cass’ nipples will get stuck to mine the next time they touch.’ And I imagined what it would look like, which is pretty much what it looks like now. That’s it!”

“Here, let me try!” you demanded.

She handed the wand to you. As soon as it make contact with your hand, you had a sense of its purpose and how to use it, and Annie seemed to have described it correctly. You thought carefully about what words you wanted to say, to make sure the wish wouldn’t come out wrong. You envisioned in your mind, as vividly as you could, Annie’s and your nipples suddenly falling away from each other and going back to normal.

“I wish our nipples would come unstuck from each other!”

Nothing.

“I wish to undo Annie’s last two wishes!”

Nothing.

“Wand, please unstick Annie and me from each other!”

Still nothing. A few more **** tugs showed your nipples hadn’t even begun to come lose.

“Could it be out of power? Is there a way to recharge it?”

“I DON’T KNOW! You touched it, so you know as much about it as I do!”

“WHERE DID YOU EVEN FIND THIS THING?” you shouted.

“I told you! I just found it as I was walking home!”

“Where? Like, just lying on the ground?”

“I guess.”

“What do you mean ‘you guess?’ You’re the one who found it! You don’t have to guess! Where in the world did you actually find this thing?”

“I was…” Annie paused, as her eyes darted around as she thought deeply. “Well, I definitely didn’t have it when I got off the bus, because I was thinking about work. I think I got it when… Yeah, I definitely had it when I turned onto Kitemaug Street. I remember having it in my hands when I walked past that red mailbox.”

“Thanks for narrowing it down. Do you actually remember when you first picked it up?”

“Well, yeah! I mean, I… Um… Okay, maybe not. Okay, that is weird. No, I don’t remember where I was when I got it. I assumed I picked it up somewhere on my walk home, but I don’t remember doing it.”

“What, so it just appeared in your hands?”

“I think I would have remembered that, too!”

“Okay, never mind. We already know this thing is magical. Maybe it left a gap in your memory about how you actually got it. I don’t know if that missing memory would help us figure out how to unstick ourselves anyway. So, what do we do?”

“Hold on!” Annie shouted, looking worried. “If this thing really scrubbed my memory of how I got it, what the hell is it trying to cover up? Do you think someone handed it to me? Or something?”

“Can we figure that out AFTER we get unstuck? Seriously, Annie, what do we do? We need to think of something!”

“We could try making another wish just to see if it still works at all. Something small.”

“Hell no!” you demanded. You were still holding it, so you still had a vague sense of how it worked. “I want no more of this thing’s magic until I know how to undo it! I can tell it’s specific to sticking people together. It either can’t or won’t grant wishes for other purposes, so I’m not wishing ourselves even more stuck together just to see.”

“I see. Do these ‘other purposes’ include unsticking people? Is it one way? This isn’t permanent, is it?”

“I don’t know!”

“Well, if we can’t unstick ourselves completely, maybe we can change the nature of how we’re stuck. What do you think?”

“I’m not eager to make more wishes, sorry.”

“Then do you have a better idea? Do you think you can outsmart the magic sticking us together? What’s your plan?”

You wracked your brain looking for any way to separate yourselves, but anything you could come up with that seemed to have a chance of working was at least as scary as the thought of using more magic.

“Sorry, I don’t have much of a plan. A few ideas, but nothing good just yet.”

“Well, then either tell me one of your ideas, or hand me the wand,” Annie said, outstretching her hand to you.
