A/N: I am from the fuuuuture! Spoooky! I come from a time several chapters ahead, where I had to write angst, and drama, and needed a titan damned break from that, so now I'm writing a fluffy interlude.

Also, why are any of you reading this? Go read Golden, by Greenisher and Hyacinth, it just uploaded its last chapter of its first story today. I know that's what I'm reading, instead of this trash.


Amity had really enjoyed having her natural brown hair again after living with the blonde her mother forced onto her to 'match' with the twins. Waking up every day, seeing physical proof that her mother's hold on her was permanently broken, it was like having a heavy weight lifted off her shoulders.

It was too bad she only kinda tolerated the brown. While she had a lot less negative feelings towards Alador, it was only because he'd been absent as a parent, having little to no interest in the lives of his children, and now that was what she was associating with her new 'do.

Thankfully, it hadn't taken any convincing to get Luz to help her change it. A quick trip down to the markets for some magical dye, and she'd be golden. Or, in this case, lavender. Though it was nice to know gold was an option.

Magical hair dye was so much better than the human variety. For example, you didn't need to bleach your hair first. The color always came as advertised on the label, so even using a lighter color on darker hair worked right as rain. That meant a lot less damage caused by the bleaching and dying process, which Amity was all for.

Amity now sat in a stool in the bathroom, melted into Luz's touch as her scalp was massaged, loving every moment she was under Luz's fingers. "You're really good at this."

Luz beamed at the praise as she gave another squirt of the dye bottle, spritzing Amity's hair with the lavender colored liquid. "Anything for my awesome girlfriend."

It still made Amity's heart go pitter-patter to hear those words, her cheeks turning pinker than her hair currently was. Luz was just about finished applying the dye now, when Amity spoke up, "Maybe I can return the favor, when you want to dye yours again?"

Luz stiffened, and Amity worried that maybe she'd touched too sensitive a topic. Luz had told her how she dyed her hair every few months shortly after Amity had found out about the curse, which seeing as the Owl House's bathroom was filthy from old dye bottles covering the counters, Amity wasn't sure how she didn't already pick up on it. Despite knowing that, Amity had never brought Luz's hair up before.

"Uh, actually, I think I'm good," Luz commented, tossing the empty dye bottle towards the trash can, missing spectacularly. The bottle ended up on the floor with all the rest of the trash that had missed over the past week, and where it would remain until someone got fed up with the mess and actually took it out, or Hooty ate it.

Amity fidgeted, believing she had overstepped, "I- I'm, sorry Luz, I shouldn't have-"

Luz quickly shook her head, reassuring Amity she hadn't done anything wrong, "No, no, it's fine Amity. I'd be happy to let you dye my hair, but… I'm actually thinking of… not doing that anymore?"

Amity blinked, having not expected that answer at all. She cast a questioning look at her girlfriend, and Luz tried her best to smile. "What I mean is, everyone I care about knows about the curse now. There isn't a point in hiding it anymore."

"That doesn't mean you can't still dye your hair, Luz, "Amity responded softly, grabbing Luz by the wrist to avoid her dye stained hands to offer support. "Are you sure that's what you want?"

Luz gave a short nod, "Yeah. I'm done hiding from it. This curse is a part of me, and it's time I accepted that. So what if I have a few gray hairs? That's not going to change who I am."

Amity reached out, gently herding Luz closer so she could kiss her cheek, "That's very brave of you. I think you'll look beautiful no matter what."

Luz grinned cheekily, "Here's hoping I pull it off as well as my Mom does. Titan knows Mama has been dreading and cursing the few grays she gets."


Amity rinsed out her hair, pat it dry, then used a hairdryer(or whatever the Demon Realm equivalent was called. It got the job done like a normal hairdryer, but it… screamed a lot while it did the task), until her hair was dry. A quick inspection showed Luz had got every last inch evenly, and Amity smiled to herself before pulling her hair back up into its usual half ponytail. It was a little longer and messier than when she had arrived, and her undercut was starting to show, meaning she'd have to get a trim sometime soon. She then wondered what a demon barber looked like, and shuddered, instead taking the time to consider trimming it herself at a later time.

She stepped out into the hallways and down the stairs leading to the living room. There everyone else waited. "How do I look?"

"Oh my gosh," Emira sat up from the sofa, meeting Amity at the steps and pinching both of her cheeks, "You look so adorable!"

King only took a glance then gagged, "kinda girly, don't you think?"

Edric chortled at the demon, "Big talk coming from someone who plays with Malibu Stacy dolls."

King held up the feminine doll, dressed in a summer gown and hat, "I like them for the fashion, something a plebeian like yourself just doesn't understand!"

Eda joined Emira and Amity, taking a lock of Amity's hair in her talons and inspecting it, "Looks like a good job to me. If being a wild witch doesn't work out, Luz could open a salon. You won't see me complaining, my current hairdresser costs me a fortune."

"Don't you do your own hair?" Amity asked, eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, and you should see what I spend on hair care products, especially now that I'm an owlbeast. Feathers are hard to take care of! It's going to drive me into bankruptcy." Eda chuckled. "Now, I think you look great, but we both know there's only one person who's opinion really matters-"

"I know, and I think it looks great as well, Eda." Amity smiled up at her mentor.

Eda snorted, "Oh, did you think I meant you? Your opinion doesn't matter, honey, and you'll see why in just a second. Luz, get over here."

Edric gave Luz a shove, the girl having been stock still since Amity had come downstairs. At first Amity had been offended by Eda's statement that her opinion on her own hair didn't matter, but when she saw the look in Luz's eyes, she realized Eda was absolutely right.

There were stars in Luz's wide eyes as she drank Amity's new hair in, seeing it all dry and done up, making the human girl feel like the most beautiful person on the planet. Whatever Amity had thought about the color faded into the background as the words "cotton candy haired goddess…" Escaped Luz's lips.

Amity felt like she was going to burst into flames as the rest of the group burst into laughter, "Luz, can we keep the pet names to ourselves… this is embarrassing."


A/N: A really short sample I wanted/needed to write, since Amity's hair color was changed between chapters and I realized I should make a scene for it, but couldn't think of a place to fit it in. I also wanted to touch a bit on Luz's own hair situation, since I think at this point, she'd want to stop hiding it from everyone else now that she knows the people she loves and trusts won't leave her over her curse. I might need to try my hand at editing Luz's hair and adding the gem to her outfit, as well as give her the casual outfit I describe her with. This fic needs more art as it is.

Pretty sure this is the shortest interlude, which by themselves are pretty short already. Don't expect the schedule to be interrupted though, you can still expect a full chapter sometime within the next few days. Between Monday and Tuesday, most likely.
