It's streaked with the tiniest of grays but overall it's beautifully chestnut the whole way through, it's also extremely well looked after, Scott combs it more than twice a day and of course after every mission, adding the most generous amount of gel to keep it looking shiny. When it comes to hair pranks, Gordon always chooses the two eldest, their hair is the easiest to dye, he tried with John once and the middle child hid for a month wearing hats and selecting voice only on calls, when he showed himself again he ignored Gordon for a further month making sure the prankster didn't mess with him again. Alan didn't care what colour his hair was as long as it could be gelled, but Scott and Virgil were the complete opposite, their hair was important to them and that's why they were Gordon's go to.

Virgil heard a yell from his brother's room and he knocked, "Scott?"

"That little monster has done it again!" Scott stormed into the corridor, his appearance was normal all apart from the purple which now tinted his hair.

"Hmm, it's not the worst I've seen," Virgil shrugged, trying to hide a smile.

"Do not use your shampoo Virgil, I have a feeling he's not left you out of this," Scott frowned angrily as another sibling walked into the corridor, "you!"

"Oh shit!" Gordon skidded to a halt and turned to run, Scott took off after him and grabbed him by the shirt.

"Don't hurt him Scott," Virgil caught up with them, "have you tainted my hair dye too, minnow?"

"No no," Gordon gulped, "but you haven't used it yet, have you?"

"Oh you little goblin," Virgil grimaced, "it better not be my gel."

"Is this permanent?" Scott asked as Gordon squirmed in his grip.

"6-8 weeks, it doesn't bleach so your hair will be fine."

"That's not the point, enough with the hair pranks."

"I think you look good," Gordon smirked but earned a shove instead, "hey!"

"Gordon, what colour have you put in my product?" Virgil frowned as Scott ran his hands through his hair unhappily.

"Umm, well, it's hard adding colour to your hair, so I've put itching powder in your hair powder instead."

"I'm pouring it away and buying more," Virgil muttered.

"That's a waste of product."

Kayo laughed walking out of Virgil's room, "purple. What have you done Gordon?"

"Had some fun."

"Awh, it doesn't look that bad Scott, you look like a punk," Kayo ruffled his hair, "ooh and it smells like grape."

"I don't take that as a compliment."

"Your hair doesn't look any different Virgil?" Kayo frowned.

"That's because I haven't added anything to it yet, and it's a good thing I didn't. Gordon, please don't ever mess with my gel, ok?"

Gordon sighed, "oh alright then, I'll think of something else."

"Or you could just stop for good?" Scott shot back as the aquanaut smirked, "Gordon, I'm serious."

"Yeah I know, those frown lines could make craters in your face."

Kayo laughed, "that's mean. Virgil, training?"

"I'll be right with you."

Scott turned back to Gordon, "I'm going to get you back for this."

"Oh when? I'll book it somewhere."

"Just keep a lookout."

Later that day Scott lay in wait by the pool, he had seen Gordon practicing his underwater routines and so had taken an opportunity to tamper with his towel, everything was ready and all he needed to do now was to just sunbathe and countdown, Virgil and Kayo were helping Grandma with some gardening in the area beside the pool and Alan was doing some homework in the kitchen as John sat in holoform beside him to help. Gordon emerged with a grin and checked his watch before climbing out of the pool.

"Three minute routine on the dot!"

"Nice one Gordon, that's pretty impressive."

Gordon burst out laughing at how brightly Scott's purple hair was shining in the sun, "you're looking fabulous Scott! And thanks," he grabbed his towel much to Scott's delight and ran it over his hair bursting the bright pink colour mousse over it, "arhgh! What the heck!"

Virgil looked over and laughed loudly, "oh wow!"

Scott crossed his arms, "checkmate."

Kayo giggled, "oh Penny will love this," she sprinted over and took a photo.

"Kayo, no!"

"Kayo, yes," she pressed send with a smirk and Gordon threw the pink towel at Scott's face, he dodged and laughed again.

Grandma wasn't so pleased, "that's the third towel you monsters have ruined. Scott and Gordon, you're on laundry duty for a week."

"But Grandma, he turned my hair purple," Scott protested, "it was payback."

"And this is mine."

Gordon growled, "how long will this take to wash out?"

"Who knows, but you may want to smarten it up a bit."

Gordon stormed up to the house, "don't say anything you two."

Alan burst out laughing, "awh cute, FabG."

John smirked, "maybe you'll think twice before messing around with hair products, Scott was the first prankster, not you."

"Yeah, sure he was."

Virgil laughed as he twirled a trowel in his hand, "well played, Scott."

"Thanks Virgil. What has Penelope said, Kayo?"

"She loves it, she says it matches the car," Kayo giggled, "I'll forward it to Gordon."
