"So, apparently, if we walk three miles, then we would reach the Maria La Gorda CENTRE. Not the main point.", Diana said.
"Well, we'll need diving suits.", Lyon said, "So, first to the centre."
--------------------------
"Welcome to Maria La Gorda!!"
A lady dressed in a simple black shirt and tight black pants stood at the reception, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Finally someone who speaks the language of the world.", Diana said as she stepped forward. "Hi I'm Diana George." Everyone came up and introduced themselves.
"Are you here to learn diving?", the lady, whose name was Muriel, asked. "Actually, no.", Elsa replied, "We want to borrow diving equipments."
"Diving equipment?" Do you have license?", Muriel asked, taken aback by their want. "Umm....." All four looked between each other and then Tessa spoke up, "We do. Totally! But we left it in our lodge. We'll get it and come." And all of them sprinted out of the centre.
"Great! Now where do we get diving licenses?", Diana asked. Lyon was about to say something when Elsa interrupted, "No, Lyon! We aren't stealing. We dont even know who to steal from." His face immediately fell. "We are going to forge one."
They trekked to the nearest hotel and checked in with Diana's pesos, which she, oh so proudly, spent. The moment they entered their joint rooms, they collapsed onto the floor. Everything was aching. For a continuous two days they've been on the move.
"How do we forge the licenses, Elsa?", Diana asked. "We need to find its format first.", came the answer. Tessa pulled out her phone and exclaimed, "Free Wi-Fi!" She quickly tapped into it and came up with the results.
"Okay. It will have the name of the certified organisation, name and photograph of person certified, serial number, date of certification, name of instructor as well as his serial number."
"That's a lot.", Lyon commented.
Diana looked up and said, "Couldn't we just print out a document?" "What about the seal? The organisation? The instructor?" Elsa got up from the floor and went to the small balcony and looked out into the beach city of Maria La Gorda. A few metres off, she could see the Maria La Gorda diving centre and she knew a half kilometre from this hotel was the Maria La Gorda main beach. The west end of the island country.
"What's on your mind?"
Tessa stood beside her, breathing in the humidity laden air. "Everything is just so muddled up.", Elsa muttered, gazing at a few children playing outside their house. Tessa followed her gaze and said, "Well then, we'll need to clean that head of yours, won't we? A dip in the Caribbean Sea might help."
Elsa giggled. Her eyes once again moved towards the children who seemed to be now wriggling in the coarse sand. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She dragged Tessa back inside, rolling her eyes at the sight of Lyon and Diana sprawled on the floor. "Get up, both of you. I have an idea."
Soon, all were sitting on the floor, ready to make the plan. "We can create a fake ID and organisation and whatnot for the licences. But we need proof that these organisations exist.", Elsa explained. "What are we to do?", Lyon asked, "Magically change our appearances?"
"Exactly."
An hour later, after Elsa had used the reception computer to print out fake licenses, Diana was concentrating on making an appearance changing potion. She slowly waved her hand in the air, while the others watched. Out of the air, a slightly larger than usual cauldron dropped with an equally bigger ladle. Five small pouches and two vials dropped, but only one was empty. The other had some liquid in it.
Diana carefully opened each and poured it into the cauldron. "Ground peppercorns. Mace. Assorted hairs. Burnt coal........then eyelashes??? GROSS! And what's this?", she asked confusedly, sniffing at the liquid. Lyon took it from her and smelled it. "Chamomile tea.", he told. Diana just shrugged and poured it in.
As she mixed it, the mixture turned purple and then orange. The colors kept on shifting. Pouring it into the empty vial, Diana passed it around to everyone.
Once everyone had drunk it, they waited for something to happen. Suddenly, Diana pointed at Elsa, looking at her weirdly. Elsa's pale skin was turning into a tanned shade. Her eyes turned green and her dark hair was brown. She also shrunk a little. Lyon's hair grew out into a shag and turned bleach blond. His eyes stayed the same but his skin got lighter and he grew TALLER that now he looked like a pine tree.
Diana's red hair became dark. There was no change in her height or skin although her freckles disappeared. Her brown eyes had turned blue. "I look like Megan Fox.", she thought in her head. Tessa's face became slightly angular and her skin turned dark. Her brown hair was black and her eyes, a lighter brown. Her short, chin length hair grew longer.
All four of them had lost their teenager built and had matured.
"Woah.", they said. "WOAH!", they said again. Even their voices had changed. After they all had separated and changed into more adult like clothing (Elsa's clothes were slightly large and Lyon's were slightly tight but they couldn't do anything), Elsa picked up the licenses and said, "Let's get our diving suits."
---------------------------------
"So you are the children's representatives?"
Muriel eyed the four 'adults' standing in front of her. The tanned woman who called herself Maria handed over the licenses. Muriel skimmed through them and then said, "These are in order alright." "Yes!", Lyon exclaimed. Muriel looked at him in surprise while the disguised girls glared at him. "I...I mean, of course they are!", he quickly covered up. Apparently, Muriel bought it.
Muriel handed the papers back to them and said, "If you send them over in another hour, then we'll give them the equipment. Good day!", she greeted.
All four scurried out as quickly as possible, feeling the potion slowly wearing off. They did a group high-five and ran off, not wanting to attract attention to their changing appearances.

"So good of you to come, Amylia!"
Amylia smiled at Kaitlyn as she stepped in through the doors of the Georges household. "My pleasure! After Lyon going on that Miami trip with Diana, its been quiet in the house."
"Ah yes!", Kaitlyn said, leading the older woman to the living room where tea had been laid out. "Diana and her trip. She was set on going to Miami. I haven't heard anything from her for the past two days." Amylia sipped her tea and said, "Ever since Lyon met Diana and Elsa, he has been with them forever."
Kaitlyn smiled and said, "And the new girl, Tessa. Apparently, she is Elsa's best friend and ex-high school mate." "Quite sad, what happened to Elsa's parents.", Amylia softly said. Kaitlyn kept her empty cup down and said, "Yet, there is always a smile on her face." Amylia grinned and said, "I think Lyon fancies her."
The women laughed and suddenly, the telephone rang. Kaitlyn excused herself and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Mrs. George?"
"Ah, Kate! What is it, sweetheart?"
"May I please talk to Diana? Its about the graduation ceremony. Only two months left."
Kaitlyn's forehead creased. "Diana? She's on that pre-graduate trip to Florida. Didnt you go?" What Kate next said almost made Kaitlyn faint.
"What trip?"
{Notice how Elsa used her mother's name Maria?
Let's just say that the four teenagers' return to the US won't be that pleasant!}
