Author's Notes: There are a few Layla/Sora fics out there which make use of the idea of Sora pretend as someone else, either as a cousin of a current cast of Kaleido Stage or someone entirely new. So, I'm gonna make use of the same plot idea 'cause I feel like it and I think there are a lot of things that can be done and explored with this plot bunny. But first things first, I'm gonna clear up some stuff about this. First of all, I tip my hat to that authors that started this idea. Azurean and MakeniaRaven, thank you! You guys stirred my muse into a buzz with your fic. Second, Layla's injury never happened (okay maybe it did but it wasn't 'that' severe). Sure, she might've gone on a long break to recuperate but she came back to the stage in the end. This also means that season 2 did not happen or will happen (I haven't decided) and because of this there will be major changes. Third, I have no beta which means what you'll be reading, dear readers and fans of KS, will be full of grammatical errors (I'll try to avoid those) and the occasional missing word (I don't why that happens but it does. I'll be thinking of the sentence but when I write it down or type it up, a word or two would be missing). So tell me my mistakes (kindly, please) and tell me if a word is missing because I tend to not notice them. Fourth and last, I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm leaping without looking, I am acting without planning. I've never written anything with some semblance of a plot in it, all I've written are PWPs (hot, steamy, lemony PWPs). This also means that the story goes on how I feel and what you readers want to happen. Oh and before I forget: thoughts, "normal dialogue", "flashback dialogue", 'emphasis' and scene flashbacks will be indicated by something but you'll know when you find it. Anyway, on with the story!

Prologue: An Amazing Start!

Her head felt so light (maybe even a bit fluffy). She reached up and ran a hand though her hair, it was almost as short as Anna's except it stopped just below her chin and that her bangs still obscured her forehead and brows.
She wasn't sure why she decided to get a haircut but when she saw this salon while walking around the sudden urge to enter suddenly overwhelmed her. And the next thing she knew she was sitting on a comfy chair while a woman with pale skin and dark blue hair cooed and fussed over her hair. The woman did that for a bit, muttering at how fabulous her hair was and moving it around before suddenly perking up and said, "I-de-a!"
And it wasn't such a bad i-de-a.
Sora moved her head side to side, admiring her new 'coiffure' (a fancy word she learned from the woman that just styled her hair) in the mirror. She ran her hands through it again and even shook her head to see how it looked in motion. This would be the first time that she'd cut her hair short and she wondered why she didn't do this before. Sora smiled and her reflection did the same. I lik-
"Not bad."
"Eep! B-boss!" Sora's eyes bugged out.
She should be used to this by now but for some reason Kalos Eldos (Boss to the Kaleido staff and cast, and Creep to Sora) can still scare the living daylights out of Sora. She looked at Kalos's reflection and found him scrutinizing her with his glasses reflecting the light (she always found that creepy) and arms crossed.
How did he know I'm here? What is he doing here! Here! HERE!
Her eyes moved higher when a glint of silver caught her eyes and her jaw dropped. Kalos quietly hummed then turned to the woman that cut her hair, jostling the tin foils that covered that tips of his spiky hair.
"Miss Charity, can you do me a favor?"
Charity batted her eyes and beamed at the stage owner. "Of course, Mr. Eldos!"
"I want you to dye her hair brown." Kalos gestured towards Sora.
"Ehh! Boss, what do you think you're doing? You can't do that!" Sora turned around, she waved her arms frantically trying to catch their attention. She needed to stop this immediately; if not…a feeling of dread came over her.
Oh no. Nonononononono!
"Just brown? Oh, I could do more than that! I will make her coiffure the very definition of fabulosity!" Charity seemed to glow with so much enthusiasm that even Sora was taken a back.
"Just try not to overdo it, Miss Charity." Kalos said, completely unaffected by the hairstylist's enthusiasm.
As if on cue Charity was suddenly a blur of activity as she gathered the supplies needed to complete her task.
Kalos turned to look at Sora, his glasses reflecting the light off once again. "When you're done, come to my office and make sure no one sees you." With that he left, leaving the flabbergasted Star of the stage
"W-wait! Boss!" Sora got up and tried to follow the older man. She got as far as the exit when she felt herself being flung back to her chair. A pair of hands gripped her shoulders with surprising strength and when Sora looked up she had to stop herself from cowering in her chair.
"Now darling, sit back and relax." Charity flipped her hair and looked right into Sora's eyes. The close proximity between the two showed the Japanese girl an unhindered view of Miss Charity's (slightly) mad eyes. "And let Miss Charity take care of you because here in Couture Salon we make everything chic, unique and magnifique!"
Why me?
