The Girl Scout Chronicles
Chapter Five: Hair Wars
"Well, now that the mouse crisis has been averted, I am going to take my shower. Might as well get it over with." Electra muttered, not at ALL liking the prospect of being touched by water. He also knew, however, that he had little choice in the matter, so after grabbing his towel and rubber duckie, he strode into the bathroom. Purse followed soon after, a HUGE duffel bag thrown across his shoulder, and no one dared to ask what was inside.
"Since there are mice, we should put all the food we brought into a covered box or something," Chibi said, pointing to the cardboard box that already had some provisions in it.
So, with the help of C.B., the finally managed to shove everything in. Cookies, candy, chips, and almost any other junk food imaginable was in the box, and C.B. joked, "What do we have to go to the cafeteria for?"
"And now, TA DA!" Aqua said, producing two boxes of Dragon Ball Z gummies from her bag. "The treat you love to bite the heads off of!"
"Yeah Aqua! You rule!" Quick laughed.
C.B. looked at the box curiously, and he asked, "Who are these people?"
The led to an explanation and discussion of DBZ, Anime, and other things in general. Several times they were interrupted by strange sounds coming from the bathroom, but none got up to investigate.
"So you're saying that Pearl should have known she loved Rusty all along because she was the only eligible steam train?"
Chibi nodded, "I mean, sure, there was Poppa, but he was just too old!"
"Electric trains and Diesel trains can't whistle, so THAT was another big clue," Aqua added.
"Or she could have just looked in the script," Quick finished, earning only stares and silence for her comment.
The silence was broken by a blood-curdling scream, and it therefore surprised them when Electra came racing out of the bathroom, "STAY AWAY!"
Purse followed, holding the biggest hairbrush any of them had ever seen, "Come one Master. You must brush your beautiful hair!"
"You mean has actually has to FORCE his hair to stay that way?" Chibi asked.
Electra's once spiky hair was wet and limp, extending almost to the floor, and if he hadn't looked ready to kill, the others would have laughed. "Purse, if you so much as TOUCH my hair with that brush I will fire you!"
The Money Truck shook his head, "You told me to make sure your hair was taken care of, and it will be even WORSE to try and get the tangles out in the morning!"
"I don't care!" Electra hissed, preparing to run away. Purse sighed, extending his grappling arms to ensnare his master and bring him close enough to have his hair brushed.
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Electra wailed, struggling to get away. The Money Truck proved stronger, however, and the AC-DC train could not escape.
"You know Chibi, you haven't brushed your had yet either," Aqua commented, reaching for her brush.
"Don't even think about it," Chibi warned, but it was too late. Soon her voice was yelling for it to stop right along with Electra's.
Quick and C.B. watched the fighting for awhile, neither one knowing whether to try and break it up or not. After a moment, Quick hastily grabbed her stuff, thinking it an opportune moment to tae her shower, which gave her an excuse to leave.
C.B. watched her go, and then began to keep time in his head. After about a minute, a wet and shivering Quick re-emerged. "Stupid. Electra. used. up. all. the. hot. water." she stuttered, reaching for her own hairbrush before anyone could attack her.
C.B. simply smiled, enjoying the utter chaos going on around him.
"STOP IT PURSE!"
"I haven't even brushed to times yet Master!"
"OUCH! AQUA, LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE!"
"Not until I'm finished!"
"46, 47, 48, 49, 50 strokes and I am done!"
C.B. laughed aloud, thinking to himself, 'A hair-raising situation.'
