Synopsis

Bear is in love with his friend, Nikki, but is afraid to confess his feelings for her. Instead, he buys a novelty toy called One-Wish Willow and wishes that Nikki would love him more than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, this is a horror movie, so they do not live happily ever after.
