Chapter 2: Hair

AN: I know that this chapter is late but I was out of town yesterday and couldn't update! I'm really sorry to anyone out there who cares! Oh and about that picture... someday my sister will post it on her deviantart, I'll yell at her about it until she does I am so sorryyyyyyyyyy! This chapter should give you a feel for how most chapters are going to work in this story. This chapter I started planning halfway into IJSH to be honest so I've been excited about it for a while. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

"I've decided what to do with my life! I'm going to be a hairdresser!" I exclaimed as I entered the only course in college we all shared; Economics. Yes by the way, we all went to college together because- you know what we aren't there yet I'll explain later.

"Are you sure? I thought you were going to be a comic artist" Cordelia pointed out. You see I was always changing my mind on what I wanted to do back then, photographer was the most common but I was always uncertain.

"Oh, so THAT's why you took all these pictures" Owain states the obvious.

"Yes, I was quite talented if I do say so myself, I had a lot of fun with it" Anna sighs with a nostalgic smile, "but hairdressing had one of the worst results…"

"That's all in the past, so will you all meet me in my room so that I can awaken my passion?" I pleaded of my friends.

"Isn't your room a bit small for all of us to hang out in?" Panne wondered, being the practical one, as always.

"Isn't it a little bit dangerous for someone on your level of evil to be handling scissors near people's heads on a daily basis?" Gaius wondered.

"Most of you get to hang out in the hall while I work my magic on my test subject" I chuckled demonically, ignoring Gaius.

"Test… subject? Who's that gonna be?" Stahl worriedly demanded.

"Whoever's meanest to me today I guess, so make sure you're all extra nice!" I laughed cruelly at everyone's terrified looks.

"Oh glorious Anna, our great and true goddess, please spare me from your wrath!" Logan exclaimed and bowed down.

"What?! My dad wouldn't-" Morgan begins to interrupt.

"Hush" Anna quickly stops her and goes back to the important stuff.

"Is everyone ready?" I said in a sickeningly sweet way to the crowd outside of my room later that day.

"Where are Henry and Tharja?" Chrom asked me.

"They aren't coming, something about black magic club meeting" I replied simply, "first and formost! Panne I bestow upon you my camera, I won't be needing it anymore."

"Thanks… I'll take a picture of your first attempt of hairstyling" Panne promised reluctantly.

"What's in the bag?" Nowi asked and reached out for the plastic grocery bag in my hand.

"These are my supplies, scissors, shampoo that stuff" I explained and opened the bag to let her see.

"Uh, Anna this is-" Aidrian began to say as he lifted something out of the bag.

"Hush, now for the part you've all been waiting for… my test subject" I interrupted and snatched the item, replacing it into the bag.

"Who's your test subject?" Olivia worriedly asked, protectively fiddling with the ends of her hair.

"The winner is… Gaius!" I happily exclaimed and Gaius nearly spat out his candy, nearly, this is still Gaius we're talking about "for that mean comment about how I shouldn't have scissors."

"But- Anna I was kidding!" Gaius desperately attempted to save himself.

"Tut-tut, don't bother trying, it's time for you to die- I mean have your hair done!" I laughed and dragged Gaius into my room.

Now, a little while back Aidrian was about to say something but I cut him off. Aidrian still dyes his hair on a weekly basis and evidently taught his daughter to do it too, so I really should have listened to him because this is what he would have said.

"Uh, Anna this is blue hair dye."

…Yes… I dyed Gaius' hair blue.

"What have you done!" Gaius exclaimed after I was finished and the damage had been done.

"I'm sorry I didn't know!" I defended myself quickly, "and it doesn't look too bad…"

"It doesn't-! I look like Chrom!" Gaius exclaimed. We were still inside my room at the time so I can only imagine what Chrom was thinking outside.

"So? You and I both know that Chrom is rather popular with the female sex, maybe this is a good thing?" I offered. Again; I can only imagine.

"You have RUINED me!" Gaius exclaimed and exploded out of the room. Panne was prepared and kept true to her promise. She took a picture of a furious Gaius with blue hair like Chrom's with me behind him trying to calm him down.

"Woah… you do look like Chrom" Stahl observed, Gaius merely death glared at him.

"I-it's okay I'm sure it'll change back" Cordelia comforted Gaius helpfully.

"Damn it Anna the gingers are already going extinct why did you have to help the process?!" Nowi huffed.

"Hey, it was an accident! I already said that I'm sorry" I sighed in slight annoyance.

"I tried to warn you but you didn't listen, but don't even worry about it guys, that hair dye is temporary it'll be gone in a week tops"

"Thank the gods! Anna I will never forgive you for this" Gaius glared at me with a look of complete loathing.

"A pack of gobstoppers and we call it even?" I suggested pulling out the candy and waving it in front of his face.

"Deal" Gaius instantly agreed and snatched the candy right out of my hand.

"You might want to hold on to this" Panne told me just barely hiding a smile and handed me my camera.

Gaius' hair did go back to normal after a couple of weeks. He did hold a grudge about if for a very long time. Needless to say I never even considered becoming a hairdresser EVER again ever.

AN: Anna dyed Gaius' hair… I'm so proud of her! This chapter was partially inspired by Summer Scramble (it inspired me to choose Gaius) and partially inspired by Hotspring Scramble (it inspired to to dye his hair blue). This chapter came really naturally it was super easy for me to write and came out pretty well if I do say so myself. Those interjection bits where Severa or Morgan or whoever interrupt the story will probably stop around chapter ten and then only show up every once in a while. And now for a preview of our next chapter

Breakups:

"Cherche I'm so sorry that it didn't work! Don't worry I'll find you a new boyfriend!" Nowi declared as she broke into the room.

"Mmph, no!" Cherche grimaced in disagreement, "I'm off men for the rest of my life."

"You don't mean that, it's okay Cherche, you just need some time to yourself" Cordelia insisted.

"She's right, you just need time, and three gallons of chocolate ice cream" I nodded.

"No… then I'll get fat and he'll hate me even more…" Cherche sobbed but just then Tharja entered the room with a large tub of chocolate ice cream, a scoop and a stuffed bear with black fur.

"Uh, hi" Tharja greeted.

"Oh Tharja you shouldn't have" Cherche said as she stood up, accepted the gifts and started shovelling ice cream into her mouth.

If you have any suggestions for chapters or prompt words (you may notice that each chapter is a one word title) I'm open to suggestions. Until next time this is Adagan OUT!
