Jessica and Gracia didn't have to worry about using the words 'change' and 'now' in normal discussions, since the phrase could be anything. Their magical girl forms of course came with the classic 'perception filter' that kept even close friends from recognizing them unless it was directly pointed out to them who they were or they saw the girls transform.
"Jessica!" Did you finish your homework!" Gracia tried to get out of his humiliating situation. It didn't matter if no one but her and her twin sister knew about this, she was feeling demeaned by this.
"I can worry about that after we shower, and yes I did, you pestered me non-stop until I did, remember?"
Gracia groaned as Jessica finally let her down. Her blond sister in a flash of white light returned to her normal form, and began to strip in front of her. Gracia sighed and began to do the same. The sooner this was started the sooner it would be over.
Jessica hopped into the shower, her pre-mature breasts swaying in the air. Blech. How big where those things going to be when they were adults? At least she'd have the pleasure of knowing all the backaches her annoying sister might have to endure unless she wanted to have reduction surgery, then again, they had both seen cat-women with oversized breasts who never seemed to suffer any back troubles.
Gracia followed, putting down her glasses gently on the counter, and stepped inside, the world now a blur. She had a vague idea in a past life she might have worn contact lenses, but they always made her eyes itch.
She carefully set foot into the shower, Jessica had already turned on the water. All things considered, it was nice to have all the dirt and grim wash off her body.
Then she felt something touch her back.
"W-what?!"
"Calm down Gracia, I'm just washing your back."
"Stop it."
"Sis' it's no problem, I'm just-"
"I said stop it!" Gracia turned to slap her sister away, slipped on the wet floor, and almost banged her head against the wall until Jessica caught her at the last moment, she pull out of the grip. "I can do it myself! I'm not a toddler you need to do everything for!" She said at the blur that was her younger, but larger sister.
Unknown to each other, both girls were happy the shower did both their tears. Gracia remembered, they were twins, Gracia came out first, but . . . a five year old Jessica had skinned her knee, crying in the sudden rain storm, and it was Jessica who had helped her home.
"Gracia . . . I'm . . . I'm sorry." Jessica apologized, and gently hugged her older sister. Slowly, Gracia returned the hug. Gracia felt a bar of soap being placed her hands, and the blur of her sister turning around and sitting down on a plastic stole in the large shower. "Here, you can wash my back instead."
Gracia nodded and happily did so.

John and Sharon were oblivious to the changes that had happened to their children. Not that it mattered, they would have recognized them instantly and not even realized any changes had occurred. After all, if reality has changed, that means what is, always was, and what wasn't, had never been, so why would you remember an old reality? It had a tendency to also make things go neater and smoother.
The middle aged couple were chatting about the places they'd see while in Tokyo.
