I went into the maternity store and explained that I needed some maternity clothes because I was going in disguise as a pregnant woman at a party. It was as good an explanation as any. Fortunately they were having a sale, and I bought a gown with a big front, for use by women at or near 9 months.
You see, I could go and look for a pregnant woman and turn into her. But if I did that, there would be trouble. What if someone knew the other person and mistook me for her? Or what if I changed, and my own clothes didn't fit, so I'd have to go walking around the mall with no clothes?
It made much more sense to get clothes and transform myself. Since nobody had worn these clothes I would turn into a version of myself--I wouldn't look like someone else that I could be mistaken for. And since I had the clothes and didn't just bump into someone, I could do it at home instead of changing in the middle of the mall and not being able to wear what I had.
At home I stood in front of a mirror, put on the amulet, and touched it to the maternity gown. I felt a tingle and began to transform. Little did I know that the medallion won't work on pregnant women, so this change couldn't be easily reversed....
