Mary had been using her magical leotard for quite some time. Each day she would wear it under her clothes, transforming into a young teenager whenever she desired.

The leotard was her secret. It was a source of vitality and youth that she kept hidden from the prying eyes. She reveled in the power it granted her.

However, one day, her friend Angela noticed the leotard underneath Mary's dress. Angela, curious, questioned Mary about the reason for her wearing such a youthful outfit.

Mary hesitated, caught off guard. She had been so careful to hide the leotard. But now, faced with Angela's inquisitive gaze, she confessed about the magic of the leotard.

Angela's eyes grew wide with excitement as Mary told her about the magic word 'Milano' and the transformation it brought to her. She was astounded and skeptical all at once.

Angela, enthralled by the idea of experiencing youth once again, pleaded with Mary to let her try the leotard. Mary, seeing the eager anticipation in Angela's eyes, relented.

Once in the privacy of Mary's home, Mary uttered 'Milano' and her youthful body morphed back to its original aged form. Angela watched, her eyes wide with anticipation.

Mary passed her the leotard and Angela excitedly undressed. She pulled the leotard over her body, feeling the tightness of the fabric against her skin.

With Mary's guidance, she uttered the magic word. 'Milano'. What followed was a transformation that took Angela's breath away. She felt a sharp pain as her body changed.

Angela screamed as her body morphed, shrunk and changed. Mary watched in nervous anticipation, clutching her old hands tightly together.

When the transformation was over, Angela's scream was replaced by silence. Her breath was ragged, her body felt different. She looked in the mirror and gasped at her reflection.

It was as if she was looking at herself from several decades ago. Her skin was smooth, her hair had its old color back, the wrinkles on her face were gone.

Over the next few weeks, Angela kept the leotard a secret, much like Mary had. She wore it under her clothes, transforming into her younger self whenever she wanted.

Angela felt elated and invigorated. However, as time went by, the magical leotard started taking a toll on her. Eventually, the side effects started showing.

Angela began to feel a certain emptiness, a disconnect from her real age. The magic was great, but it also felt unnatural. She missed her old self.

Mary watched Angela's transformation with a heavy heart. She understood what her friend was going through. The struggle between the desire to stay young and accepting oneself.

The two women had a heart-to-heart conversation. They spoke about the magic, the transformation and the loss they were experiencing. And eventually, they made a decision.

Together, they decided to stop using the leotard. They would embrace their age, enjoy the wisdom it brought, and cherish the lives they had lived.

And so, they stored the magical leotard away. They vowed to take joy from life as it was, without the magic, without the artificial youth.

As the days passed, they noticed a remarkable change. With acceptance, came peace. They no longer looked for the fountain of youth, they lived every moment, every day.

The wrinkles on their faces became their badges of honor. The grey hair, a symbol of their wisdom and experiences. They found beauty in their age.

The leotard, once magical and mysterious, became a reminder of their journey. A journey that had taught them the importance of self-acceptance and self-love.

Angela and Mary were grateful for the experience. They understood that growing old was an unavoidable part of life, and that it was something to be cherished, not feared.

They lived their lives happily, their age reflecting the wisdom they had gained. The magical leotard did not define them; they defined themselves through their acceptance and love for who they truly were.

And thus, the leotard was forgotten, lost to the sands of time. But the lessons it taught, and the wisdom it brought, endured in Mary and Angela. The magic, after all, was in them.
