"So what is your plan John?" Virgil asked as he sat down on one of the chairs.
"We have to do something like this." John said when he pointed to his orange hair. "Only worse."
"What could possibly be worse then having blue hair?" Scott asked.
"Having green hair."Virgil said.
"Or red hair." Alan answered.
John had to think about that for a while. Suddenly they heard a voice on the hallway. "Where is everybody?"
"That's dad!" Alan said.
Scott rushed to the door and locked it.
"I don't want dad to see this!" He defended himself against the looks of his brothers. "He'll laugh at us for ages."
"That's true." Virgil said.
"Scott, why are you all in there and why is the door locked?" Jeff's voice sounded behind the door.
Scott looked at his brothers with clear panic on his face.
"We're trying to figure out what to give you for your birthday dad." John said loudly. "Please leave us or you'll ruin the surprise."
His brothers mouths fell open. John shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh well….I'll leave you to it then." Jeff said.
They could hear his footsteps leave the corridor.
"That was close…"Scott said.
"John I didn't know you could lie like that." Alan said with some jealousy in his voice.
John shrugged his shoulders again.
"What are we going to do with Gordon?" Virgil asked.
"We have to do something with his face." Scott said. "That way he can't hide it and someone has to see it." He couldn't help the evil smile that appeared on his face.
"If we can figure out what he did with our shampoo, we can do the same thing." John said.
"But I don't want to do the same thing, I want to do something worse!" Scott said.
"I could try to make it work on his skin…"John said.
"Yeah let's turn him into a green monster!" Virgil said.
"No red, as if he's got some kind of decease."Alan said with a smile.
"Don't overreact Alan."John said. "If you guys get me some of the shampoo I can make something out of it."
Scott unlocked his door and carefully crossed the corridor. A few minutes later he slipped back into the room and threw the blue bottle to his oldest brother.
"What are you going to do?" Virgil asked.
"Oh believe me, you won't be disappointed." John said with an evil smile of his own.
