The next day, Kathy went out to get us clothes and wigs. We gave her our fake IDs, so she could attempt to have us look like those. When she came back, she had several bags full of clothes. "I got each of you a wig, colored contacts, some makeup, and five outfits," she said proudly. We all shook our heads. "You really didn't need to do that," Lilly said. Kathy smiled. "I really don't mind. As you know, we have plenty of money to spare." We all showered then got dressed in our new clothes. We joined Chris and Thomas in one of the living rooms. We had been chatting for a while when Kathy and Bill walked in and sat down as well. "Girls, we think it is time you caught us up and what you have been doing the last couple weeks," Kathy said. Thomas smiled. "Of course we have heard some, Hybrid Freedom Advocates." We all smiled and told them about every single person we had helped. Once we were done, Bill smiled. "I would like to help you continue doing this. Hopefully your disguises will be enough. Otherwise, I can continue to use my magic to keep the Hybrid Hunters off our tails." We all grinned. "That's a great idea! We still have three bags of charms," Lilly said. Kathy smiled. "Now that you have agreed to let him help, he might not let you leave until they are gone." I could tell she was joking, but I still replied, "That would actually be amazing."

Around an hour later, we were ready to go. "I really hope these disguises work," Amelia said as we all inspected ourselves. Lilly nodded. "If not, Bill's magic should suffice." I nodded absentmindedly. I was still worried that Chris and the Thornebrooks would get into trouble. The first place the Magic Locator brought us was a medium sized, outdoor ice cream shop. We all walked up and waited in line. Thankfully, nobody came after us. The woman at the window seemed exhausted. "What can I get for you?" Jamie smiled. "Would you happen to have any magical flavors?" The woman immediately brightened. "You must be the Hybrid Freedom Advocates! I'm Diana. We have been hoping you would make your way to us!" Lilly smiled. "How many of you are there?" Diana grinned. "Why don't you come see? She opened the door for us. We walked in to see 9 other people. They all seemed to be around our age. "Woah. You all have magic?" Thomas asked. "Yes," one man said. Another woman squinted slightly. "I thought there were only four women. Who are you?" She seemed to be particularly interested in Thomas. "My boyfriend," I said quickly. "Plus his father and best friend. They are helping us out for a bit." We all introduced ourselves and told what our magic was. We ended up giving away 60 charms because they all had large families. The next place we went was a house in a little town. We knocked on the door. "Hello! How can I help you?" A young woman asked. After glancing around, Amelia leaned in and whispered, "We are the Hybrid Freedom Advocates. Can we come in?" Her eyes widened. "Yes, of course! I'm Arabella." She opened the door the rest of the way to allow us in. "Mom! Dad! We have guests." A man and woman entered the room. A look of confusion crossed their faces. I walked forward. "I am Lilly Glynn. This is my sister, Jamie," I said, gesturing. Thomas wrapped an arm around me. "I'm her boyfriend Thomas Thornebrook. This is my father, Bill and my best friend, Christopher Blackwood." Lilly waved. "I'm Lilly Jones and this is Amelia Larken." Both adults looked relieved. "I'm Suzanne. My husband's name is Michael. We have heard so much about you girls. So brave! We hear that you have fake identities enforced by magic. You don't seem that much different," she said. "Long story short, we had to revert back to normal and now we have non magical disguises," Jamie said. We continued to explain how Bill was using his magic to ensure that we didn't get into trouble too. I looked at Arabella. "What can you do?" She smiled. "All three of us are conjurers." A thought struck me. "Does that mean that you can conjure another Magic Locator? If we could divide and conquer..." Arabella hesitated. "Actually," she realized, her face lighting up. "I can, if you let me touch the one you have now. I have to make contact with the item before I can conjure it." Ella smiled and held out the Magic Locator. Arabella lightly touched it, and her fingers seemed to glow for a moment. Then she snapped her fingers and another Magic Locator appeared in her hand. "Here." I took it. "Thank you so much!" I took three charms out of the bag and held them out. "Do you know anyone else who needs them?" Amelia asked. Michael nodded. "My brother and his wife just had their first child. Could we get three for them too?" Lilly grabbed three more and handed them to him. "No problem." Suzanne still looked slightly confused. "Are Thomas, Christopher, and Bill HFA members too? Should we spread their names?" We all glanced at each other. "Don't spread their names," Jamie said quickly. I took Thomas' hand. "What do you say? Will you officially be a Hybrid Freedom Advocate?" Thomas smiled his perfect smile. "Anything for you."
