Now to look the part...

Jamie and Hella had spent the night together. The events from the previous night had weighed heavy on Jamie, and she couldn't bear to be alone. The pair had laid in bed talking, drifting off to sleep from time to time, only to wake up shortly after and converse again. They had talked about so many things. What had happened, their respective pasts, and even their dreams. During these conversations, Jamie had revealed that she wanted to be a magical girl. That had been the reason for wanting the costume, and that she believed if she were like that she could have helped. The pair had laughed about it, but Hella seemed to encourage her to follow these dreams.

The Next morning Jamie had spent hours working on a new spell, something that might help this dream. She wanted to be able to change clothes in hurry, just like a magical girl could. this would allow for a quick costume change which while not needed, would certainly help her feel the part.

The spell itself was simple enough. A trade spell. She would trade her currently worn outfit, for one of her choosing. The theory behind the spell was sound, and many witches had similar spells for other types of objects. The only problem Jamie seemed to have was getting her trade to work properly. So far she had managed more or less to consistently send her clothes to the drawer without bringing new ones to her.

Still, in her excitement, she had still called Hella over to watch the progress. She wanted to show her friend that she was seriously working on this. That she was going to chase this dream.

Jamie had just finished laying an outfit on the bed when she heard a knock at the door. "Perfect" She chirped as she ran to the door and pulled it open. On the other side was Hella, and for a moment Jamie couldn't move. SHe knew Hella was coming over, she had been the one to invite her, still, somehow she wasn't prepared for the sudden overwhelming sensation of butterflies in her stomach. She was so excited that for a few awkward seconds, all she could do was grin like an idiot at the sight of her friend.

"Hella... Hi... Welcome. Come in." She spoke quickly stepping to the side and ushering her friend into her room. Normally her apartment was kept in a certain state organization, but now it really looked as though a teenager had lived there, with clothing seemingly tossed haphazardly everywhere. Some of the outfits even appeared to be charred or torn.

"I've been working on this all morn... Oh, Don't mind the mess." She said dismissively. When she was all done, a quick flick of her wand would tidy it up easily. For now, she was far too excited with her progress. "Anyways. I've been working on this all morning. Since you left. A new spell. Something special." There was far too much excitement in her voice, and it was impossible to tell if the excitement was for Hella or the spell. Perhaps it was both.

"Oh.. right yeah... Over here on the couch." Jamie ran over to the couch, picking up a few shirts and skirts from off it and tossing them to the side. Her excitement seemed to grow. She smiled at Hella as she ran around checking a few things, pulling her notebooks open, and nodding as she read through them.

"Ok... so... You see those clothes on my bed? That nice outfit just sitting there safe and sound." She ran over and pointed to the clothing as if they weren't already plain as day. "Ok. so. Those are there, and there are like no mirrors or ropes or smoke machines right?" She was really hamming this up as she walked around to indicate that everything was exactly as it seemed.

"Alright, so let's say I was over here..." She walked into the living room section of her room and stood in front of the TV facing Hella. "And let'sets say I realize that I want to wear something different for whatever reason. I should go and change right? Wrong." Her smile widened as she raised her wand. She had not managed to succeed in this trick yet, but she had a feeling it would work this time. It had to. She was far too excited for it not to.

"And now to look the part..." She recited her words perfectly and raised her wand over her head. There was a bright flash of light that seemed to come from her clothing, and then in a flash, it was gone. The light had vanished and so too had her clothing. Suddenly Jamie was standing completely nude in front of Hella.

Sitting neatly folded on the bed was the outfit she had been wearing, as well as the one she was supposed to be wearing now.

Jamie just stood there for a moment, not so much concerned with her nudity, so much as she was puzzled by the spells failure.

Jamie thoughtfully placed a finger to her chin while she looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought. It wasn't until Hella mentioned magical fields that she snapped back to reality and grinned at her friend. "You might be right. I may be taping into the wrong school of magic which would explain why I'm just blowing my clothes off." Without hesitating she walked over to where Hella had been seated and sat beside her, pulling her notebook off the table as she did. She crossed her legs and placed the notebook on her lap while she flipped through pages.

"See its all right here. The five schools. Fire, life, water earth, and death. Every spell, every ounce of magic originates from one of these, regardless of how obscure." She flipped another page and pointed to a pentacle with arcane symbols circling it. "See I stand here at these points, life, and fire. But I've been focusing my intent through fire. Fire is not meant to exchange, or create. It is meant to destroy, but I thought like a phoenix rising from the ashes, so too would this spell work. I was wrong though, and as a simple fix, I need to bend my intent to this point." With her explanation completes she handed Hella the notebook before getting up and running to her bed where both sets of clothes now sat.

"I'm gonna try it in a simple bit first. Changing my panties. If that works then we will know that we are on the right path." Jamie pulled her panties on while she spoke, and for added modesty, her bra as well.

"Alright, Let's try this again." She steadied herself as she raised her wand over her head. "ITS TIME TO LOOK THE PART..."

Another brilliant flash of light erupted from her body and as it dimmed out her panties had changed from the simple white cotton ones she normally wore under her uniform, to a pair adorned with little teddy bears. Jamie had her eyes closed now as she stood there. "Did it work?"
