Shia smiled. "No problemo Ashers. You know, I think you did me a litle favor." He smiled. "I figured out a new power AND I get a new haircut. I needed one." He strummed his hands through his long hair and smiled. "Ahhhs well. You know, it's not your fault you weren't there. You had to protect Bolt and all that.. ANDDDD you were a bit late." He smiled and looked back down to his magazine.
Lucia rolled her eyes. "Have some more confidence Ash!" She called as the lady called her up to have her hair done. "I'd like it short, spiky, but still reaching to my ears. The stylist nodded and led her to a chair. As she brushed Lucia's hair, she asked, "How did you get your hair dyed? It feels so alive. You didn't bleach it, did you?" The stylist was curious. "It's real. I was born like this," Lucia explained. "Oh...I'm sorry!" The lady seemed flustered, as if she had hit a nerve. Lucia laughed. "Don't worry about it. I love my hair." Lucia smiled, and the lady began snipping at her hair, finishing very quickly. Lucia looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. "It's perfect!" She exclaimed, and the lady smiled at her. "Thanks so much!" Lucia handed the stylist a ten dollar bill and she headed out to where her friends were. Her silver hair was in light, natural spikes, reaching down to her ears, and she had bangs too now. She liked it, and walked over to her friends with a smile on her face.

"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
"Wow Shia I had no idea you swayed that way"she said smiling at him when he used a girly voice. "This old woman came in the store today and bought like three wheels of chedder and when I asked her why she needed so much she said 'Me like cheeses and crackas' it was so great" Hazel laughed "I tried so hard not to bust out laughing because I didn't wanna risk my job. I wish you could have heard her"

Shia laughed and waved a good bye as the hair cutter called him up. He smiled his flashy smile at her. "Hey." he said. The lady laughed. "Howdy. How would you like your hair??" she asked. Shia smiled. "Um.. thinned and layered, you know, kinda like cartoons.. japenese cartoons." "Anime?" she asked, smiling. Shia nodded. "Yeah. Didn't think you'd know!" The hair cutter let out a laugh. "No, I am a BIG fan of anime." She snipped away. About 5 minutes later, it was done. And it was awesome. "PWNsome," he said, laughing. Shia handed her a 10 dollar tip and paid his money.
Ash sighed and said, " Thanks, you guys. If you guys dont mind, I think I'm going to get my hair cut too. " She had an idea in her mind. She smilled and Bolt jumped on her lap. " You look cute. " She said to Lucia as she walked towards her. " I think I like it better. " She looked at her long hair and murmered, " I think I'm going to die it. "

Kayden hopped out of the chair, and paid the woman who dyed and cut his hair. "Thanks so much," he said happily, and went over to Lucia and the others. "Fantastic," he said to Lucia, punching her on the shoulder in a friendly way. His own hair was now jet-black and just slightly shorter; short enough that it could lie flat, but it still got in his eyes, the way he liked it.
Shia laughed and punched Kayden in his shoulder. "Ha!" he said. "We're like brothers!" He laughed. They looked quite alike now. Their skin were a different shade and their eyes were different colors, but they looked like brothers who looked like a different parent. He smiled and messed up his newly done hair already. His hair was now pitch black. Not brown that looks like black; pitch black. Every little strand was black. He smiled. "Let's go back home, i guess."
"I like yours too Kayden. Although blond was quite charming." She shook out her silver spikes, getting any stray and loose strands out. "Yeah, let's go." She picked up her board and laid it down outside, putting a foot on it and waiting for Kayden. A smile tgged at the corners of her lips, life was getting back to norma-...except for those bruises. "Ow..." She murmured, rubbing at one with a grimace on her face. "Stupid Shade."

Kayden jogged outside with his board and hopped on it. "Let's go, Miss Latte," he said, and without waiting for her - knowing she'd catch up - took off out of the parking lot, heading toward their apartment. He went faster than he'd ever gone before, down a slight hill toward the apartment they all shared.
Shia smiled and ran out the door, waving a little good bye to the barber shop hair cutter. She laughed and waved good bye back. "Have a nice day!" she called. "And enjoy your new haircuts!" He waited out the door for Kayden, Hazel, Ash, and Lucia to leave the place before he yelled, "Race ya home!" He sprinted off before anyone could complain and took the shortcuts to home that he knew.
