“Got it!” Tina announced. “Can you make me look like you?”
You nodded. “I guess so, but wouldn’t your father notice there’s two of me?”
“Not if you stay here while I go in. I’ll just pretend to be you until I find a picture and bring it out to you.”
“Can’t I just do that myself? I saw a picture on the wall.”
Tina raised an eyebrow. “You mean the one that’s this big and in a frame? Good luck sneaking that out without getting caught. Besides, that picture’s a few years old. We need a current picture, and only I know where to get one.”
“Good point.”
“Exactly. So, work your magic already. And make sure to make me look like the elf you instead of this version.” She gestured over your developed humanized body.
Nodding, you concentrated, undoing your own age spell first. Quickly, Tina shrank back down until she resembled a twelve year old. Then, her features rippled and altered into your own, skin darkening into your more tanned complexion, bone structure becoming more fine and delicate. Her eyes gained a bit of tilt as their color soon matched yours, and her ears stretched out on either side, tapering gracefully. Her hair also added a few inches to copy your own length and shade. In seconds, you were staring at a perfect copy of yourself.
“Did you do it?” She asked, only to gasp at the sound of your voice coming from her new throat. “Woah, that’s weird. You’re so tall!” Smirking, she amended, “Make that you’re so short.”
Crossing your arms, you pursed your lips in annoyance. “Well, are you gonna go or what?”
“Hold on. Just need to fix a few things first.” Grabbing her now baggy shirt, she tied a knot to make it tighter. After rolling up the legs of her once form-fitting capris, she cinched the belt to keep it from sliding off her narrow hips entirely. Nothing could be done with her shoes, so she left them behind. “I can just say it’s an elf thing.”
“That’s kind of insulting,” you said. “We do wear shoes. Sometimes. For special occasions.”
Tina was already heading away towards the complex. You decided to lie low and wait for her return.
