"I don't know guys." Desiree was very hesitant about doing this makeover. She looked down at her plate of chocolate chip pancakes—Des's favorite type of pancakes and hoped that it would help her find the confidence to go with this makeover.

"Come on, Desiree. You deserve this makeover and I believe it will make you confident." Colby said as he placed his hands on Desiree's shoulders and looked down at her.

"I don't think I deserve all of this. I mean, your girlfriend coming all the way to China from Buffalo. What have I done to deserve all of this? I am so fortunate to be having this opportunity with you guys. I don't want you to pity me because of what happened in Melbourne." Desiree didn't want the guys to feel bad for her. She wasn't used to other people feeling bad for her other than her family.

"Desiree," Joe spoke up and took away Des's empty plate and placed it on the sink. "You've been working hard these past few weeks and you've been an amazing intern. You can consider this a gift from Colby, who values having you around here. I mean, we all value you here but, Colby is doing this from his heart."

Des looked up at Colby, who had a smile on his face. "Please, for us," he walked over to Joe and rested his elbow at his bigger stable mate's shoulder casually. Joe was annoyed by this and scowled at Colby. Colby then, took his elbow off Joe's shoulder. "We really insist that you do this makeover." Colby assured her.

"Colby really wants you to have this makeover, Desiree," Des looked at Colby's girlfriend, Leighla with a smile on her face. "He's been telling me, how he wants you to have confidence within yourself. Sometimes, a girl needs to feel beautiful, when they feel like they aren't." Leighla stated.

"What if I look horrible?" Desiree looked at Joe and Colby worried. There was an evil thought in the back of her mind, which thought that this makeover could be a giant failure and she could even more horrible than she was before.

"You won't," Joe went down to Desiree's level and looked at her. "You can never look horrible to us. How about, you do this makeover for us and then, Leighla can show you the wardrobe that she picked for you?" he bargained with the intern.

It was then Desiree showed a smile. "Okay, I'll do this for you and Colby."


"Okay Desiree, I was thinking that we start with your hair—" Leighla then heard a giant shrill coming out of the intern's mouth.

Desiree looked at Leighla in the mirror in sudden fear. Her precious locks! Her long, straight, black hair that reached to her lower back and Leighla wants to cut it all off? Was she fucking crazy! Desiree could feel her heart pounding inside her chest. She's only used to getting trims and not getting a full haircut.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Desiree heard Jon's voice ask brashly. Desiree and Leighla looked at The Shield that stood by the door. Leighla put her scissors down at the desk and approached them.

"Desiree just screamed when she heard that I wanted to cut her hair." Leighla explained to the three gentlemen that were standing across from her.

Jon chuckled at Leighla's explanation. "You're scared about getting your haircut?" he went over and stood behind Desiree's chair. "Now, you know how I felt, when I had my precious locks cut by a sixteen year old!"

Desiree then remembers—Jon was so stubborn about getting a haircut. It took Jon two hours to finally agree to get the haircut. Desiree was so proud of that moment, she didn't cut too much of Jon's hair. Even though, Jon was shaking like a little bitch for a short period of time, while getting the haircut.

"Jon, it's like several inches of my hair!" Desiree informed him, almost screaming.

"Don't be scared." Jon told her.

"I am scared!" Desiree's body was shaking at the thought of most of her hair getting cut off. What if Leighla was the one that messed up? Wait! She's a professional! She can't screw up.

"That's it," Jon said and reached over to the table and got the scissors. "I'm going to do your haircut!" he declared.

"YOU'RE NOT CUTTING HER HAIR!" Colby, Joe and Leighla yelled at the misunderstood Shield member. Them, along with Desiree, thought he was fucking crazy for even considering about cutting Desiree's hair. She needed a professional, not someone that didn't know what yeast infection was until Desiree told him about it.

Jon rolled his eyes. "Fine," he put the scissors on the table and held his arms up in defense. "Suit yourselves!" he folded his arms across his chest and walked out of the bathroom.

There was about a minute of silence between the four of them. Leighla went to the table and picked up the scissors again. Joe and Colby gestured to Leighla, that they were going to go and awkwardly, they exited the bathroom.


After The Shield left, Desiree felt a little more better about going with this haircut. Leighla then explained to her that she would look good with layers and possibly dye her hair a light brown. Des then got a little concerned about dying her hair a different color. But, Leighla gave her a pep talk and Desiree was sure that she wanted her hair a different color. Three hours later, Desiree was in compete awe, looking at herself in the mirror. Her hair was now up to her shoulders and the rich, light brown color really complemented her skin tone. Des kept jumping, while sitting as she watched her layers bounce.

"I told you, you'll love it!" Leighla reminded her excitedly as she looked at Desiree in the mirror.

Desiree continued to jump, while sitting, watching her layers bounce, something about that really made her giddy and happy. "I love my hair! Thank you, Leighla!" she smiled at her.

"Wait, I'm not done yet. We still have a lot of work to do." Leighla informed her.

Desiree's eyes widened in joy—there was more? Desiree was one happy intern right now. Leighla then moved on to doing Desiree's make-up. Knowing that Desiree was a teenager, she wanted to keep the make-up natural, but give her eyes some color. Desiree wore some foundation, a peach blush, and some light brown eye shadow with mascara and to top it off, some baby pink lip-gloss. Desiree actually felt pretty for once when she looked into the mirror. She looked like one of those TV-stars that she would see on the television.

"Wow! I feel so pretty right now!" Desiree was speechless. She didn't know what to say about her make-up. It felt natural, but it gave her a little boost of confidence as well.

"You were always pretty, Desiree," Leighla smiled at her. "Now, you just know it." Leighla took a chair and sat on it, that was when she began to paint Desiree's nails a soft baby pink. After Leighla was done giving Desiree her manicure, pedicure and making her nails all pretty, it was time for the best part of this makeover.

The clothes.

Leighla pulled out what seemed to be fifty types of clothing and placed them all around the room. She had a friend that had a clothing store in Buffalo and she paid for them to be shipped to China. Colby had gotten it just a few days, before she came to China and had been keeping it safe for her. Desiree's eyes wandered around the bathroom—there were so many options of clothing to select from. How could a girl like her make such a difficult decision?

"How can any girl decided from all of these wonderful clothing?" Desiree sighed happily and placed her hands on her hips, looking at the clothing.

"You're keeping all the clothing. So, decide wisely." Leighla winked at her.

Desiree smiled. "I like this one." she picked up a dress, which had a red from the upper area of the dress, black and circled designed at the bottom, paired with a giant black belt. It was a cute and girly outfit. She was someone that rarely wore girly outfits like this. She wanted to surprise the guys and picked it.

"I like that one to. Go try it out." Leighla instructed and left the bathroom, so Desiree could put on the dress.

With Des's makeover complete, Desiree could finally say that she considered herself, pretty. It seemed like she was capable of anything right now. It gave her a load of confidence and it was thanks to Colby, who had Leighla give her this makeover.

Des looked in the mirror and smiled at her reflection. Leighla stood behind her. "The guys are in the kitchen right now. Go knock them dead!" was the last advice that Leighla gave the intern.


Desiree walked out of the bathroom and stood near the kitchen. The Shield was going on with their business, just talking about the house show that they had to do tomorrow night. Des was excited to reveal the result of the makeover to them. She wanted to see their reactions.

"Hey guys." Desiree spoke up.

The guys were speechless, when they got a good look at Desiree. Just looking at the result of Desiree's transformation made Jon spit his water, which splattered all over Colby's face. Jon looked over to an angry Colby, who was glaring at him and dropped his head to the ground embarrassed of what just happened.
