Day 2:
Ike was surprised (and slightly relieved) that he didn't see the girls in the breakfast hall that morning. There had been a small scouting mission early in the morning, so he saw no need to go to the psychotic females and send them when he could just as easily send Shinon and Gatrie. Ike had sent the message for the mission to Gatrie and told him to find Shinon and go. (Ike didn't like talking to Shinon, and Shinon didn't like talking to Ike. Everyone agreed it was better to have Gatrie be the messenger) It had been about 30 minutes since Ike had talked to Gatrie, which is why he was surprised to see the Lance General rushing up to him.
"You're done already?" Ike asked in confusion. He had expected the pair to be gone all day.
Gatrie shook his head, "I can't find Shinon anywhere. I checked his tent, the dining hall, the training fields, I asked Rolf, Shinon is missing." Gatrie declared. Ike sighed.
"Bring Rolf and Boyd with you instead, I'll look for Shinon here." Gatrie nodded and ran off to find the two brothers while Ike pondered where Shinon could be.
'It's odd,' Ike thought to himself, 'where could Shinon be… and now that I think about I haven't seen Soren either…' then it hit Ike like a ton of bricks, 'Oh no, the girls!' Ike rushed towards Mia's tent and opened the tent flap quickly.
"Nothing here." He said aloud before running over to Ilyana's tent. He opened the flap and, again, nothing was there besides the usual furniture, "Darn it, where could they be?" Ike ran towards Mist's tent just in time to hear some voices inside.
"What do you think? The purple bow, or the green one?" That sounded like Ilyana's voice.
"I think we should save the purple bow for him, and put the green one on him!" Uh oh… Titania was in there too… and it sounded like she hadn't gotten over yesterday's cheeriness.
"You're right!" That was Ilyana's voice again, Ike could faintly hear some more giggling, which he assumed was from Mist and Mia. He also heard some muffled sounds of protest… Were people gagged in there?
"Mist!" That was Mia's voice… It sounded like she was whining about something, "I broke another hair tie… Where do you keep your extras?"
"On the shelf over there." Mist responded. Ike could hear some rustling noises now; he assumed that meant that Mia was going to get the hair ties from the shelf. Ike continued listening in on the girls' conversation.
"After this, can we do their makeup (1)?" Titania asked the girls; she was met with squeals of excitement… and more muffled sounds of protest.
"That will be so much fun! Can we also dress them up?" Mist asked excitedly. Louder sounds of protest came.
"That would be so much fun! I'll go grab some stuff from my tent right now!" Ilyana squealed. Ike hid behind a tree for when Ilyana walked out.
"I'm coming too!" Mia yelled before the two emerged from the tent and began walking towards Ilyana's tent. Ike stayed behind the tree for when the two girls came back.
"Mist!" That was Titania's voice through the tent, "We're out of bacon cheesecake! We should go get Oscar to make some more…"
"Alright! Let's go. Mia and Ilyana will probably know where we are…" Mist said and the two girls left the tent as well. Ike saw this as his opportunity to check who… or what the girls were hiding in their tent. He approached the tent and opened up the tent only to see Soren and Shinon both tied up with rope and gagged. The sage and sniper both had their long hair loose, and covered in ribbons, bows, anything that could be thought of (2). Once both of the tied up men noticed Ike, they began making frantic noises.
"Wow Soren, Shinon, what have they done to you?" This comment from Ike earned two death glares from the tied up men. "Alright, I'll untie you." Ike walked over and untied the two men who immediately started rubbing their arms and pulling the ribbons and bows out of their hair.
"How long were you waiting there?" Shinon spat out, "We've been here since 5AM!"
"Hey! I did come to rescue you… And we might want to run… the girls will be back soon." Ike responded a little too late, as Ilyana and Mia had just come back to the tent with fancy dresses in hand (3). They then noticed the lack of ties on Soren and Shinon… As well as the fact that Ike was now in the room.
"Shinney… Sorey?" Ilyana began, hands fingering her Arcthunder tome, "You weren't thinking of running away, were you?" All three of the men in the room gulped.
"No…" Soren said slowly, looking around the room for anything that the three men could use as a weapon. A tome, a bow, an axe… Anything one of the three men might be able to escape with.
"That's good! We were just getting started! Oh Ike! When did you come by? Did you want us to do your hair as well?" Ilyana asked. Ike gulped.
"No… it's alright. My hair is too short to do anything fancy to anyways, right?" Ike responded, pulling at some of his short, blue hair.
"Nonsense!" Mia shouted out, "We can think of something! Can't we Ilyana?"
Ilyana beamed, "Of course! We are hair experts! How else do you think I get my hair into these low pigtails every day?" Ilyana asked, pointing to her hair. Ike gulped.
"Can we not be tied up this time?" Shinon asked nervously.
"It depends," Mia explained, "We only tied you up because you struggled. Are you going to struggle?" Mia asked. The three men shook their heads.
"That's good! It's so much easier if you don't struggle!" Ilyana exclaimed happily, then looked around, "Hey… Where did Titania and Mist go?" Soren raised an eyebrow.
"You just noticed?" Soren asked, "I think they both went to get some… er… bacon cheesecake from Oscar." Soren stated.
"Great! We were running out! Now all of you sit down, we need to get started on your hair again!" Ilyana exclaimed. Pushing the three mercenaries down so they were sitting, and immediately starting to work on Ike's hair. Mia joined her, adding various ribbons and bows to Ike's hair. Minutes later, Titania and Mist came back with bacon cheesecake (Oscar was now making it every minute, he didn't want to feel the wrath of Mist again). Both of the girls seemed delighted at their new addition, and immediately went to work on Ike's hair.

At the end of the day, the girls finally let Soren, Shinon, and Ike free. None of the men had any dignity left.
Ike was wearing a knee-length blue skirt with a white tank top. He was also wearing ankle-high black boots and a brown choker necklace with a silver pendant on it. His blue hair had been flattened down (How the girls had done this, Ike had no idea) and was tied up with orange bows. His face had had light pink lipstick on it, as well as a light pink blush and pale purple eye shadow.
Soren was dressed in a mid-thigh length light-purple skirt with a long sleeved purple shirt. On top of his shirt was a black corset around his waist. He was wearing black sandals. His hair was tied up in two twin-buns on top of his head, with dark purple ribbons streaming down from it. His bangs were left out and kept in the usual style. Soren had the same makeup as Ike.
Shinon was dressed the worst out of the three. He was clothed in a dark green mini-dress with sleeves like the one's on Ilyana's shirt, thigh-high lace-up red boots, A tight, white corset on top of the dress, and a dark green cloak with a light green outlining. His hair was in two low pigtails, and his bangs were loose. His makeup was the same as the other two men.
"You couldn't have just ordered them to stop?" Shinon growled at Ike, who gave him an 'Are you kidding?' look.
"Would you have gone against them?" Ike asked, raising an eyebrow. Shinon growled at Ike before going off to, what Ike assumed was, clean the makeup off, change clothes, and redo his hair. He looked towards Soren, "So… is it really worth it to get changed and face the girl's wrath? Or should we just face the humiliation?"
"I think I'll just spend the rest of the day in my room. I don't want to face the girl's anger, nor do I want to face the humiliation of the other mercenaries seeing me. I'll see you tomorrow, Ike." With that, Soren walked off and Ike was left to ponder what to do on his own. He stood there thinking for at least 3 minutes until Gatrie came rushing up towards him.
"Ike, I just came back to- WOAH!" The knight exclaimed, looking at the ground awkwardly, "Didn't know you were into this sort of thing Ike… But I came here to tell you the scouting mission was a success with no unnecessary fights and we didn't find anything out…" Gatrie began twiddling his thumbs awkwardly.
"Thank you, Gatrie, you should go." Ike responded. Shooing Gatrie away. Once the Lance General was a fair distance away, Ike began rubbing his temples.
"Two days down, five to go." Ike muttered before walking away for a good's night sleep.

For the sake of this fanfic, they have makeup. Maybe Elincia gave them some?
You can't say you've never wanted to do this!
Anyways, thanks you for all the reviews/favorites/alerts. I think it is pretty good for my first story!
