Frankie is our heroine, who just so happens to be in love with her best friend Will. She's desperately waiting for him to ask her to prom. They go to get their fortunes read along with their friend Yun Sun by the mysterious Madame Zanzibar. Highly disappointed, they start asking about the various props throughout the reading room. They then land on the corsage, whch M. Z. warns gives three wishes, but those wishes always end badly. Frankie takes the corsage and once they get back to her house for pizza and movies, she makes her first wish. Will runs off and gets himself killed while trying to spraypaint "Frankie, will you go to prom with me" on the town's watertower some 300 feet in the air. All the way up to the night of prom, Frankie's in a daze and then realizes she can make him take her to prom after all. Moments later someone's walking up her drive and knocks on the door. It's zombie Will. Frankie gets scared and wishes for it to end. Thus, the end.You would think juniors in high school would be a bit smarter than to do stupid stuff like both Frankie and Will did in this story. Frankie, at least, acted like a 12 year old, which reminded me of Raven from Vampire Kisses. I was sorely not impressed. Who goes to the local watertower to spraypaint on a cool damp night? If you get beyond that, the message is still clear, be careful what you wish for.
