Summary

Tiffany walked up to the mirrfor. It read "Erised" but she already knew what it meant. She had deliberately seeked it out. She had felt as if something was missing in her life, even though she had everything she needed. She hoped the mirror would show her what it was that she was missing. She took a deep breathe, and stepped in front of it. But what she saw shocked her. It was a boy. 'What? Is it saying that I need a boyfriend? Ew, no! I'm 14 and I don't want one,' she thought, frustrated. But something about this boy intrigued her. He looked achingly familiar, although she had never seen him before. And he looked kind of like her! He had the same eyes, hair color, and freckles as her. She was mesmerized. Eventually, though, she knew she had to leave. As she left, she still didn't know what the mirror meant. She figured that, in time, she would figure it out.

5 years later, a boy clutched a photo, tears welling in his eyes as he sat in the waiting room. "We did it," he murmured to himself. "This is what the mirror meant." He smiled to himself as a woman called out "Trayton? And he knew it was his turn. When he came out, he was the boy in the mirror. This was, indeed, his truest desire.
