A/N: Yeah, this took me a really long time to update. Sorry =(
Maya realized soon after Franziska left why she had done so. She immediately felt the utmost guilt and called her up to invite her to come over again, because Maya had a surprise, but told her to shower before she came. Strangely enough, Franziska had agreed again and was over in less than an hour.
"Okay," Maya said with a new smile on her face, "last time, applying make-up didn't go so well. So now, I'm going to teach you hair tricks!"
Franziska looked at her quizzically. "Why did I need to take a shower?"
"Because it's easier to handle wet hair, silly!" she said it in a friendly way, to not seem like a control freak like last time. "Since your hair is short, we can do a couple things with it. We can make it shiny, put it in a little pony tail, make small braids, and try out different parts. We'll start with parts first."
Maya herself had taken a shower too, before Franziska came, so her hair was wet and ready to be used. She said to her, "Okay, what you do is flip your head upside down so your hair is below you. Then you tilt it to the side and flip it back up. Grab a brush and brush your hair according to your new side-part!" Maya thought Franziska looked totally different with a middle part, which is what she had come in…and different didn't exactly equal good.
Franziska did as Maya instructed and to Maya's surprise, she didn't look that bad without her bangs swept in a certain way. "Wow!" Maya laughed.
"It doesn't look THAT bad!" Franziska glared at her, hatred in her eyes.
"No, I meant wow in a good way," she replied. She grabbed a bottle of shine serum. It was kind of puke-orange, but hey, whatever works, she supposed. Maya poured some of it onto her hand. "This is shine serum. Obviously, this makes your hair look more shiny."
"Wait a moment. When we did make-up, the face was supposed to not look shiny. Why should the hair be any different?" Franziska had asked a good question, for somebody who knew nothing about hair styling.
"Hair being shiny is good, and face being shiny is bad. When your face is oily, it gets very shiny. When your hair is oily, it gets very un-shiny. Dull. Ugly. So you want your hair to be shiny so it looks alive! Pretty!" Maya said enthusiastically.
"Stop, Maya Fey. You're making yourself look like a foolish fool." Franziska scoffed.
Maya hung her head. She was making her feel like a child again. "Um, right," Still having the shine serum in her hand (which was starting to seep into her skin) she quickly rubbed it on both hands and rubbed it in her hair, spacing it out correctly. "Just like this. This is another reason you needed to come with wet hair. You need a good portion of the bottle in your hand to rub it in. Your turn." She couldn't hand the bottle to Franzy, but she tilted her head towards her to let her know she could take it.
Franziska did as instructed, and took the bottle. But she took the invitation to taking a "good portion" of the bottle much too heavily. She instead squeezed the rest of the bottle onto her hand. It was dripping all over Maya's bathroom floor, and Maya stared at her in shock and horror. "Franziska! No! Didn't you watch how I did it? I only took a little of the bottle."
"You said a good portion of it!"
"I didn't mean the entire thing…" Maya sighed. Those bottles were expensive.
"Well, I apologize if you told me the wrong instructions," Franziska rolled her eyes, throwing the bottle aside.
Maya sighed once again, but smiled in hopes of moving on. "Let's go on to different hairstyles, shall we? Let's start with a little pony tail." Like always, she demonstrated on her own hair first. "Grab your hair from behind your temples, and pull back so you meet with your other hand. Then clutch that piece of hair with one hand," Franziska was doing this as Maya was instructing, though Maya couldn't watch her. "Then, with the other hand, grab a hair tie. They're scattered along the counter. Pull your hair through the tie once, then twist the tie and pull it through as many times as needed. It sounds complicated but it's insanely easy." When Maya was done, she turned to Franziska.
She had COMPLETELY screwed it up. She had taken a big portion of her hair, as if she was making a regular pony tail. Then the whole "pull it through" concept obviously didn't sit well with her, because the pony tail was in a tangled mess with the hair tie.
Maya said nothing, but tried to demonstrate again, slower this time. "You take your hair, grab it through the tie, and pull it through. Now twist the tie once and pull your hair through the tie. Twist it again and pull your hair through again. Just like this."
She turned towards Franzy and it looked better this time. Not perfect, but better. "Okay, now take that out so we can-"
"What!? I just worked so hard on this little thing, twisting and pulling and all this other foolishness, and now you are telling me to take it out!?"
"Well, yeah. So we can learn our last new trick."
"How come you don't already know it?"
"Huh?"
"Well, you say 'So we can learn'. Why don't you already know it?"
"Um, I do."
"Then why-"
"ANYWAY!" Maya interrupted before this fooli- er, stupidness continued. "Take it out, and take a strand of hair." Maya looked at Franzy, who had taken one single strand of hair. "No, I mean, a little more than that…" Franziska took a few more single strands. "Okay, I mean a lot more. Like, a small handful of hair." When she got it right, Maya continued. "Now, separate it into three different strands-"
"What was the point of you criticizing how much hair I took if we were going to separate it into smaller strands anyway? Why are you being so rude about this?"
"ME? I'M being rude? Are you mentally ill? I'm the one teaching; I can do whatever I want." Maya folded her arms.
"Well. A von Karma never follows rules, I can assure you that. So long, Maya Fey!" Franziska stomped out of the bathroom.
"No! Stop!" Maya called and ran to the door. "I know a way to make everything better." She smiled thoughtfully…
