133. The platform sandals still felt awkward.
134. He took a deep breath and walked to Sharon's vanity.

162. "Yes," Timmy replied, his voice breaking a little.
163. Johnny's dad gave Timmy a long look. "You sure you're okay?"

194. "I'm in some sort of... nightmare," Timmy said.
195. "What do you mean?" Lisa asked, her voice rising in concern.
196. "I-I ... I don't know how, but I'm Sharon," Timmy burst out.
197. There was a long pause. "What?"
198. "I know it sounds crazy, but I need help!" Timmy said.
199. "Stay there. I'm coming," Lisa said.
200. Timmy hung up and took another look in the mirror.
201. He needed to keep pretending until Lisa could figure this out.

With shaky hands, Timmy dialed the number. 192. "Lisa, it's Timmy," he whispered. 193. "Timmy! Where are you? I'm at Johnny's house," Lisa said, confused. 194. "I'm in some sort of... nightmare," Timmy said. 195. "What do you mean?" Lisa asked, her voice rising in concern. 196. "I-I ... I don't know how, but I'm Sharon," Timmy burst out. 197. There was a long pause. "What?" 198. "I know it sounds crazy, but I need help!" Timmy said. 199. "Stay there. I'm coming," Lisa said. 200. Timmy hung up and took another look in the mirror. 201. He needed to keep pretending until Lisa could figure this out. 202. He exited the restroom and rejoined Johnny's dad. 203. "Everything okay?" Johnny's dad asked. 204. "Yes, just needed fresh air," Timmy said. 205. The hostess greeted them and led them to their table. 206. Timmy sat across from Johnny's dad, his mind racing. 207. He toyed with the wedding ring anxiously. 208. As they looked at the menus, Timmy tried to keep calm. 209. The waiter approached, and they placed their orders. 210. Johnny's dad reached out to hold Timmy's hand. "Everything will be okay." 211. Timmy forced a smile. "Yes, it will." 212. Temporarily reassured, Timmy cooked up a plan to return to Johnny's house before Lisa got there. 213. Midway through the meal, he claimed to need to check on Johnny. 214. Johnny's dad reluctantly agreed to head back. 215. As they finished and Johnny's dad paid, Timmy felt hopeful. 216. On the drive back, Timmy stayed quiet, counting down the minutes. 217. At Johnny's house, Timmy rushed out first. 218. Lisa’s car was parked outside. 219. Seeing her mother, Timmy couldn’t hold back tears. 220. Lisa approached, clutching a bewildered Johnny by his hand. 221. "Sharon, what is going on?" Johnny's dad asked, confused. 222. "Shhh, it’s complicated," Lisa said, leading 'Sharon' inside. 223. In Johnny’s room, they locked the door. 224. Timmy looked at his own body - the real seven-year-old Timmy knocking on his toys. 225. In tears, they embraced. 226. Somehow, Lisa promised they would figure this out. 227. Hours felt like an eternity, but come morning, Timmy blinked in his bed. 228. He looked down, at his short, light brown hair and child-sized feet. 229. Relief washed over him. 230. Confused but knowing it wasn’t a dream, he vowed never to touch Johnny’s controller again. 231. Lisa sat by his bed, ensuring he was okay. 232. Shirley had no knowledge and the family returned to their lives. 233. Yet, a small pearl anklet in Timmy’s drawer remained a mysterious reminder. 234. Timmy's friend, Johnny, remembered none of it. 235. Life felt more precious, strange and immeasurably mysterious. 236. At home, Peggy listened intently to the tale over tea. 237. “Magic is as real as the stories we live,” she said, with a knowing smile. 238. Timmy dreamed more of adventures, but grounded in his own shoes. 239. They never shared the enchanted night with anyone else. 240. But together, they believed in the unexplainable, forever.
