A/N: Hello! I just watched Edward Scissorhands, and I immediately fell in love with it! Edward is so cute and naive and don't you just wanna shield him from the world?

Anyway, I decided to try my hand at this fandom.

Disclaimer: I do not own Edward Scissorhands.


Peg Boggs stood inside her house, watching Edward trim the bushes that were shaped like her family. He was a maestro behind those scissor hands of his. Like he was dancing.

His outfit hadn't really changed since Peg had brought him down from the castle. He still wore gray pants, white button down and suspenders. His face had actually gotten a bit of color from bring in the sun and the dark shadows he had were lighter than before.

The only thing that had stayed the same were his scissor hands... And his hair. Oh dear Lord, his hair was a complete mess. Peg knew for a fact that he hadn't brushed or washed it since... His father died. And how could he? It's not like his hands could brush his hair. She would have to do something about it.


Dinner came and went for the Boggs family. While Kevin was watching cartoons and Kim was in her room doing homework, Peg approached Edward and just asked him straight, "Edward, would you like for me to brush your hair for you?"

He seemed surprised by the offer. It took him a few seconds for him to say, "Why?"

"Oh, because dear, you haven't brushed it in so long, and I'm sure if you did, you would look even more handsome than you do now."

He thought for a couple more seconds, then nodded his head and said, "Yes, thank you."

Peg led Edward to her bedroom, and sat him down in the same chair as when she tried fixing up his scars. She pulled a few locks of hair experimentally, before she went into the laundry room and brought back a spray bottle with fabric softener and water. It was a trick she learned whenever Kim's dolls' hair was tangled up. Edward's was not real hair, and so she knew she couldn't use a typical detangling spray because she didn't know how his hair would react.

She sprayed the entirety of his head with the mixture, and waited a minute before pulling a wide tooth comb through his jet black hair. It took a while to brush whole head, because it was so wild, and she hit a few snags that caused Esward to wince and Peg to apologize profusely.

But ten minutes later, there sat a tangle free Edward and a proud Peg Boggs.

"Do you know how you would like to style it, Edward?" Peg asked.

Now that it was brushed, you could tell that there were parts that we're longer than others. Edward inspected his hair in the mirror for a minute, and then began trimming, so that the ends of his hair were even. After a few minutes of snipping, Edward finished cutting his hair. Now, it was swept nicely to the side, and his bangs were hanging in his eyes, but that didn't seem to bother him.

"You look very handsome now, Edward." Peg smiled at him through the mirror.

"Do you think so?" Edward asked, a half smile on his face.

"Yes, I do."

That was the first time Peg saw Edward smile, a true smile.
