Gildar's Bad Hair Day

It was a quiet morning in the kingdom of Splatalot, everyone was getting ready for the day when that quiet was soon disturbed by Gildar storming out of his room.

"Okay, which one of you has hidden my hair conditioner?" he shouted.

His hair was standing out at all angles and wasn't as bright and shiny as it usually was. Gildar looked to his right to where Kook was standing.

"What are you looking at me for?" he asked. "What would I want with your conditioner?"

"Well I'm not going outside until I find it, look at the state of me."

"Your hair looks fine." said Ballista.

"Don't lie to me."

"You could wear a hat." Kook suggested.

"And get hat hair? I don't think so."

"Well, it's up to you, either wear a hat and get hat hair, or go out there and get humiliated."

It was a no brainer, Gildar was going to have to wear a hat.

"Fine, I'll go for the hat. But I won't have to do this if you just gave me my conditioner back."

"What makes you think that its me?"

"Well you're the one most likely to do something like this. You're my prime suspect Kook."

Gildar stormed back into his room to get the only hat that he had, it was a floppy woolen winter hat with a bit pompom on the top, Gildar looked at himself in the mirror as he put it on, he felt so humiliated.

Hours went by on defense duty without anyone saying a word to Gildar, which he was happy about, the last thing that he wanted now was to explain everything.

"Gildar, my dear, why on earth are you wearing that ridiculous hat?" Knightriss asked.

"I don't really want to say." Gildar replied.

"Go on, what is it?" Thorne asked.

Gildar sighed. "Alright. I can't find my hair conditioner. Someone's hidden it, I think that it's Kook."

"Are you sure that you just didn't misplace it?" Shaiden suggested.

"No, I've got a specific place for all of my hair products and it's not where it should be."

"You'll find it soon enough." said Crocness.

"It wasn't one of you who hid it was it?"

"No." Skabb replied.

"It has to be Kook, he's the only one who would play a prank like this." he thought.

Later on that day, Gildar still hadn't found his conditioner, this was all becoming ridiculous, but Gildar was convinced that this was definitely the work of a certain purple and green bird, even if Kook won't admit it, he'll have to find the proof himself, later on that day, Kook was walking down the corridor towards Gildar, now would be the time to wrap up this mystery. He might startle Kook though, his hair was now worse than this morning.

"Kook, we need to talk." he said running over.

"Whoa." Kook replied, jumping back. "That is really one serious case of hat hair."

"That's not important. No one else has hidden my hair conditioner and no one else would do something like that."

"You don't still think that it's me do you?"

"Well you're the only one who plays pranks around here, you're always joking around. Who else could it be?"

"Are you sure that you've not just misplaced it?"

"No, it had a specific place and it's not there." Gildar wasn't giving up, sure he was lacking evidence, but there were no other suspects, it's not unusual for Kook to play a prank on Gildar, it normally happens every other week, like a ritual. Before there was a chance for anymore clues, the clock struck ten, end of the day for the defenders. "Right, this conversation isn't over. I'm watching you Kook."

Gildar walked back to his room, why won't Kook just admit it, it's obviously him, he's the only one who'd do something like this, and no one else has admitted it. As Gildar walked in, something caught his eye, something that wasn't right, he slowly looked to his right and poking out from under his bed was a small white bottle, he recognized it straight away, it was his conditioner.

"Ah."

The next morning, Gildar had to apologize to Kook about what he said to him yesterday, it wasn't right to criticize Kook for it anyway, he couldn't even prove that it was Kook's fault.

"Kook, I need to talk to you again." he said.

"I see that you found your conditioner." Kook replied.

"Yeah, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I was a bit hard on you."

"Apology accepted. did someone finally give it back or did you find it?"

"It was my fault. I must have dropped it and accidentally kicked it under my bed."

"Ha ha! You idiot Gildar."

Gildar's cheeks started to burn up with embarrassment, but Kook did have a point, he was such an idiot to let something like this get to his so much.
