All Thursday (before evening) - Wishes That Were Wished Back
'I wish I was a pirate'
"Arrr this be Dread Pirate Kawalsky bringing ye the latest and greatest on pirate radio." Kawalsky the pirate, in bandana, eyepatch and far too tight pants, found himself on the air with a blank page. "Arr there be no news. Where be the squirrels?"
He peered outside the radio building window. Not only were the squirrels stomping around with signs saying they were on strike, but Barbossa was sitting across the street in the gutter with a 'will broadcast for rum' sign.
All of this he could handle. He could even handle it when the radio broadcasters started demanding their own trailers and more air time. But when he finally went to Barbossa's rum closet and found it empty, he'd had enough.
This just wasn't working.
'I wish I was a space cowboy'
"Captain, what're your orders sir?"
Captain Kawalsky looked at his first mate, Zoe and muscle, Krycek, as they stood facing off with a group of locals who hadn't paid them for their last job. He had one hand near his gun and one on his radio. "Sam," he said, calling to the pilot of the good ship Fandom. "Could do with a little rescuing right about now if it's not too much of an inconvenience."
"One miracle coming up," Sam replied over the radio.
"Zoe, I think these folks are trying to cheat us out of our hard earned cash."
"Yes sir," Zoe said, sawn off shotgun at the ready. "Reckon they are."
"Also reckon they might shoot our mechanic and ship's ambassador." He nodded towards where Broots and Jamie Madrox were being held. "If we don't get outta here. But I'm pretty fond of getting paid."
Kawalsky went to negotiate as Sam brought Fandom into view behind Zoe, Krycek and Kawalsky. The negotiations didn't go so well, because he ended up flat on his back with a bullet in his bulletproof vest. Gasping for air and bruised, Kawalsky changed his wish.
'I wish I was a ninja'
Dressed all in black, ninja!Kawalsky found himself sitting in the Sin on the couch (newly cleaned, he hoped). He frowned and looked beside him. Miho was sitting there. He opened his mouth to say something, but she held up a hand and shook her head with a look that he didn't dare argue with.
So he stayed silent and sat there.
Being a ninja wasn't as cool as he'd thought.
'I wish I was a knight'
"And rise, Sir Charles, Knight of the Noble Order of the Table," High King Peter said. Kawalsky stood before King Peter. "As a knight of Narnia, I give you your first task." Peter pointed past Kawalsky's shoulder, causing him to turn. "Get your king some cake from table yonder."
Kawalsky sighed and walked across the common room to get Peter some cake.
'I wish I was a professional hockey player in the NHL'
The roar of the crowd signalled the fact that he was really here. Players skated around the ice, getting into position for the opening face off. Kawalsky was playing right wing. The opposition was in place. His team was in place. Then he saw the jersey the center of his own team was wearing. Then he saw what jersey he himself was wearing.
"Maaaan," he whined (yes, actually whined), disgruntled at the turn of events. "I have to play for the Avs?!"
In the end, Kawalsky just wished everything back to normal, wished Jeannie back into her bottle and stuck it under the bed. He couldn't get any wish right. Damn it.
