Hel: I thought Cindy's gonna post the revised version so... TOT
To winner-loser: Thanks a lot! You're my first reviewer!! If you want anything, just tell me. But I have to warn you, I'm slow at updating; 'cause I tend to leave things out until the last minute and do other things. Also, I'm a perfectionist...well sort of, so I always check my works over and over again to make sure they're perfect.
To Kausi: Yeah, it's back. And I posted this story on my account because Cindy insisted that I should be the one to post it; although I don't think it's entirely right. She wrote the story; I only modified it so it won't get deleted again. I just love editing stories because I don't need to think much. (I'm just like Yoh lol) That's why I delayed my other fan fiction for so long. Also I'm glad that you like this revised one for I put a lot of work into it.
To Cindy Asakura: I know I took so long; if you read the above paragraph addressed to winner- loser you'll know why. And thanks, I'll keep it this way then. Now I remember that you posted the chapters you sent me and I already read them. Keep working on them! Also, I think it's funny that you've reviewed your own story lol.
To jazzywolf&KikyoXInu fan : Wahhh...I'll try.
To Linda TYH: Thanks! And I think you should write stories too!
To Nakashima-Michiyo: LOL, I know. Thanks and I didn't really get to update soon 'cause I want to update my other story first.
To wingweaver22: Yep. .::sniggering::. I knew you would say 'I hate you' at least once a day...lol. But hey, even though it wasn't summer anymore, in the story it can still be summer. Besides, this is the revised version, so it's a little late. Toronto's a very big city; I doubt you could kill me even if you knew how I looked like and managed to find me...hehe.
To Rhombus&yoh's fan: Thanks and I'll update soon...I hope. Also if you had read the above author's notes you'll know that this isn't actually my story. I'm revising it for my friend Cindy because the original one got deleted.

Chapter 2: Of Haircuts and Demented Barbers
"Summer, you can stay in my room." Eugene declared, cleaning up a space for Summer and himself to sit down.
"What's that?" the long-haired boy enquired, pointing at one of Eugene's many...magazines.
"This is my dessert, bikini girls."
"Huh?"
From somewhere in the house, Christine yelled, "GENE!!!!!! Don't make him learn bad things or you'll be dead meat!!!"
They heard footsteps approaching. The door swung open to reveal a panting Christine with an armful of clothes. She addressed Summer, "I brought some dry clothes. Uh...I think your hair's too long. Do you need to cut them? And what's with those earrings?"
"Allow me to be the expert to trim them." Eugene cut in French gentleman style.
The older girl stepped on his foot, hard. "Hey! What was that for?"
"Shut up." she spat, dropping all of the clothes on top of Summer. "Better change 'cause we're going to the barbershop."
---
The jingling of the bells signaled the arrival of the trio of teenagers.
A brunette smiled behind the counter, showing a golden tooth at the far side of his mouth. "Hello, my dear Christine. Come on and give me a big hug."
"Cut that out Jake, or else you're in for it."
"Come on, don't be so stubborn. I know you've always loved me." He was soon responded by Christine's 'Super Punch Special'. "OUCH that hurts."
"That's for being smart with me."she said coldly and turned to Summer, "Summer, have you chosen your hairstyle?"
"I've chosen for him," Eugene said as he showed Christine a picture of a funky bald-headed guy. His feet was once again stepped on, where a few cracks in the bones can be seen by X-ray. "Ow!!! I just wanted him to look like Ronaldo."
"Stop that." the brown-haired girl said, snatching the magazine from him. "Hm, I think he would be suitable with this hairstyle." she muttered, indecisive.
"Who's that?" Jake asked, pointing at Summer.
"My friend." Christine replied without looking up from the magazine.
Eugene leaned closer as he whispered, "It's her new boyfriend. He lives with us in the same..."
"Same room?"
"...Not exactly..."
Jake turned to Summer with 'fire' blazing in his eyes. "How dare you snatch my girl?! I'll......sabotage you."
"Don't touch him you idiot."
"How could you?? My heart is breaking..." The barber started singing.
Christine rolled her eyes. "Not again." she stood up. "I think we better get going. I'm not gonna stay any longer here."
"But Jake didn't trim Summer's hair yet." Eugene whined, looking at his sister with puppy-dog eyes.
"No buts." the brunette sighed. "I guess I'd have to cut his hair myself."
Eugene looks grumpy as he had his arms crossed on the rest way home.
---
"What's that?" Summer asked, pointing to the tool Christine was holding.
"That's a pair of scissors. You never seen one before?"
"What's it for?"
"To trim hair, of course. Now hold still."
Christine carefully trimmed Summer's hair. After trimming...
"You look hot." Eugene commented.
"Hot? No, I'm not hot. This room's cold."
Eugene sweat dropped. "Uh, I mean...you look cool."
"Cool? What do you mean?"
"Well, never mind."
Summer opened his mouth to ask what 'never mind' means, but Christine interrupted, "Summer, take a look at yourself."
The brunette boy stared at his reflection in the life-sized mirror. He gasped as pictures of Yoh flashed by in his mind. The images gradually becomes clearer as the now short-haired boy closed his eyes. Summer opened his eyes again to see the siblings looking curiously at him.
"What happened, Summer?" Eugene asked.
However, before Summer could answer, a car's honking could be heard.
"I think okaa-san and oto-san are back. Come on Summer, I'd like you to meet our parents."
They went into the living room. The aforesaid parents were surprised to see the brown-haired stranger with their children, but soon understood after Eugene had explained everything.
"So, I've heard from Eugene that you had lost your memories. Well, you should stay here until you recover. You poor thing." Diana said, turning towards her husband, "Honey, could we let this poor thing stay?"
"Whatever you say my dear."
"Wayne, you are the nicest guy I know. Should we sent him to school, I guess this boy needs to go."
"I think he'll go to school with Christine. After all, he looked almost the same age as her. Christine, how about that?" The man wearing glasses looked expectantly at his daughter.
"Sorega iito omoimasu."
"He may come with you when school starts." Wayne announced, turning back to his typewriter.
To be continued...
Okaa-san - Mother
Oto-san - Father
Sorega iito omoimasu - I think it's a good idea
A/n: I know it's a bore for you guys who had read the story; so I'll really try to revise and update sooner. It's pretty easy since all I have to do is edit it and I like doing it.
A/n2: Halloween is approaching fast. Very fast, might I add. I might be Hao-sama, just as one of my friends suggested, but...I don't know. I still have to go shopping for Halloween costumes but I'm way too lazy to. It's my favorite time of the year besides Christmas and I'm afraid I won't update the next chapter fast enough before it comes. So, although it's still a bit early, happy Halloween! Especially to Cindy, Khoa, Linda, E-ling, and all the other people in Asia because they don't get no Halloween celebrations. (Aw...let's just hope that they do in later years)
A/n3: Whoo hoo! Bio updated!! Check it out if you have any spare time! The links to the pictures are hosted on a site recommended by elvira813. Well....not exactly...she puts pictures on her profiles hosted by that website, so...I just went to that website and hosted my pictures. (Well not exactly mine, but that's beyond the point) Hehe, thanks elvira813, wherever you are! And yes, they are spoilers for a original character in the later chapters of "Anything But Normal".
