I'm Not My Brother!: Chapter Two

Cody had the whole plan pictured in his head. It was a devious plan, very risky, but a risk he was willing to take.

"Since you had the curtsy to come with me, and you know what'll look best on your brother," Carey said, "I'm going to let you choose the hair colour that your brother is going to have,"

"Sweet! Thanks mom!" Cody said, with a hint of evilness, "Since I knew best, him looking like me, 'n' all."

Eventually, they got there, The Emporium of Hair Colours.

"Right, Cody," Carey glared, "I need to go food shopping. I can trust you to choose a sensible hair colour for your brother. I don't want it to be two wacky, just the normal hair colour, like brown or black. Okay?"

"Okay," Cody agreed, as Carey handed him 3, "Take as long as you need."

"Thanks honey," Carey said, adoringly, "Meet back here in, say, half an hour?"

"See ya later!" Cody called, as Carey headed towards the supermarket. But Cody wasn't going to choose a sensible colour for his brother, and it was going to be wacky. Very, very wacky.

Walking in through the double automatic doors, Cody gazed the the shelves, upon shelves, of hair colours. Who'd have thought that you'd need all this space just for hair dye. He started to browse the shelves.

Men's. Definitely not!
Woman's. Possibly.
Outrageous. Perfect!

Entering the outrageous aisle, Cody's eyes lit up as he gazed upon every colour imaginable. Anyone of these colours would be the perfect revenge. He started to browse the shelves, looking for the best colour.

Sky Blue. Knowing Zack, he'd love to have that colour, so no.
Grass Green. Same as blue, to be honest, Zack would love it.
Highlighter Pink. Now that was one colour Zack wouldn't want to have in his hair! Cody picked up the box of pink dye, then he had a worry.

(How would he disguise the fact that he's actually chosen a pink colour?) he thought to himself. Then he had a brainwave.

He removed the pink dye from it's box, and put the box back on the shelf. He headed towards the men's section, and took the Wood Brown hair dye, removed the dye from it's box and put the pink dye in the brown box. And since the dyes were all colourless, no-one would be able to identify that it was pink, until it was too late!

He took the 'brown' hair dye to the counter, were he gave the woman behind the desk 3. Cody's eyes widened as the woman turned around.

"London!" Cody said, shocked, "Why are you working in the Emporium of Hair Colours?"

"Daddy threatened to cut me off again, the Cluck Bucket wasn't doing very well," London explained, "So since I love hair, I thought it would be smarticle to work at a place where they sell hair. Don't you find it weird how they sell hair in boxes?"

"Erm, yes," Cody said, sarcastically, "That's how it works."

"I knew this job was perfect for me!" London said, dumbly, "I didn't know you were going to change your hair!"

"I'm not, Zack is," Cody explained, "But he couldn't be bothered to come, so mom trusted me. Which she can. Because I chose something sensible. Because she can trust me."

London looked particularly confused, as Cody sprinted out of the door. Carey was already waiting.

"You took you're time didn't you?" Carey said, "I was getting worried! Come on, we'd better get home!"
