Red Hair Shampoo Gone Modeling Mad
Lev is riding on the motorcycle wearing cool red sunglasses and making his way back to the house then spotted a couple with one guy wearing a gold watch with red rubies on the wristband part, feeling the old thief itch coming on and it's a rare case for him to ignore that itch.
"Now, let see here." Lev took out one Chaos Emerald he "borrowed" from the vault and use it to teleport the watch from the guy's arm and onto his wrist.
"I know I'm supposed to be reform from my thieving ways, but I just can't help but see something amazing and I want it." Lev chuckled as he looks at the watch on his wrist.
Lev looks up seeing the streetlight just turned red making him stop while looking at the rubies on the watch, the beautiful red color reminded him of Auriana's red hair and imaging her winking at the guy.
"I bet she won't mind if I bring her a present." Lev shrugged as he shoves the Chaos Emerald back into his pocket and drove off, right before the light turned green.
Lev decided to head back home for a moment to do a little something like picking out the seven ruby jewels from the watch, he looks at them trying to think of a way to make them look good for Auriana before seeing her today.
"Hey Lev, took the bike out today?" Nathanial asked walking into the room.
"Yep, we may have superspeed and all, but nothing beats like a man riding on the machines." Lev grinned.
"Ain't that the truth." Nathanial nodded and noticed the gold watch and the rubies.
"Okay, where did you steal them from?" Nathanial asked with a sigh.
"Why Nathanial? I can't believe you would assume that I, a redeem man, would ever stoop myself low to stealing—I took it from a guy on the streets." Lev smirked, pretending to be innocent for a moment but decided to just tell him.
"Dude, I thought you were done with the whole stealing thing." Nathanial said surprise and disappointed.
"Old habits die hard, and I don't feel like giving up on my thieving days, but I'll be stealing things that were already stolen like other thieves." Lev explained.
"That does sound pretty cool, but was that watch really stolen before you?" Nathanial asked.
"A gut feeling I had, and I saw this article about the watch being stolen." Lev shoved the newspaper of the stolen into his face.
"I thought about keeping the watch for myself, but the rubies are a different story." Lev said as he looks down at the rubies.
"Gonna trade it for some money?" Nathanial guessed.
"Surprisingly no, I'm actually thinking about giving these to a certain girl with the same color as these rubies." Lev hinted.
"Same color? But the only person I can think of is Auriana with her red hair." Nathanial mentioned then put the pieces together.
"Dude, you're gonna give her stolen jewels!" Nathanial shocked.
"You're making it sound like I'm turning her into a criminal. I'm hurt." Lev said sarcastically, then gets an idea.
"I think I'm gonna pay Auriana a visit to see how the rubies would look like." Lev decided as he takes on ruby into his shirt pocket.
"That is if she doesn't get too caught up with her new life supply of shampoo." Nathanial mentioned.
"Life supply of shampoo? What for?" Lev asked.
"Don't you remember? Auriana got accepted into becoming a model for red hairs and getting her pictures taken by that guy with the camera, I think his name was Ted." Nathanial explained.
"Oh yeah, I didn't like how the guy was being close to her." Lev narrowed and crossed his arms.
"Oh, the Master Thief is feeling jealous of one photographer guy." Nathanial teased.
"I'm going off." Lev blitzed out of the room.
"That guy may act cool, but he sure does have a soft spot." Nathanial chuckled.
"You can say that again." Mephisto nodded, who is also in the room licking his popsicle.
(Iris's House, Lolirock Studio)
Lev arrives at the house and knocks on the door as Aunt Ellen opens.
"Oh Lev, how nice of you to come. Are you finally here to ask Auriana out?" Ellen asked with a teasing smirk.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. In any case, I'm just here to see her for now." Lev shrugged.
"She and the girls are in their studio, and they're with a young man name Ted taking some photos of Auriana's red hair." Aunt Ellen informed.
"Oh, is he now." Lev said looking a little upset and made his way to the studio.
"I think Ted better watch out for the jealous Lev." Ellen joked giggling.
Lev went downstairs seeing the three Lolirock girls getting themselves ready for another practice for their song and saw Auriana looking a great in the white outfit, and notices that her hair is redder than before. Then saw one guy standing close to the stage taking some pictures of Auriana already figuring out it's the photo guy Ellen mentioned.
"Beautiful, I've never taken such good shots!" Ted amazed.
"Is it me or is your hair even redder?" Ted asked.
"Maybe, I washed it with Rose Red to make my hair to be extra shiny." Auriana answered.
"Yeah, nothings a cute girl with shiny red hair to make the whole world bow to you." Lev commented playfully as he enters the scene.
"Lev!" Auriana squealed and jumped onto the guy which surprises him a bit.
"What are you doing here? Not that I don't mind you being here, of course." Auriana grinned.
"Just came by to see if you girls doing anything exciting than playing the triangle." Lev joked.
"Haha, that was so funny I forgot how to laugh." Talia rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it… On your eighty whatever birthday." Auriana mocked and laughed a little.
While Lev did find the joke to be funny knowing that Talia doesn't have much of a sense of humor or maybe any, that was a bit harsher for Auriana to do which is weird to him until his nose caught his attention.
"Huh, what is that strange yet cool smell?" Lev asked.
"Oh, it's the shampoo I've been using ever since I came to this little town." Auriana skipped to the large box filled with lots of shampoo bottles.
"Out of the way, Amaru! I need to show Lev the cool shampoo I use." Auriana grabbed Amaru and tossed him at Iris who quickly catches her.
Lev raises an eyebrow now seeing there is something going on with her though his thoughts were interrupted when he caught the shampoo bottle in his hand.
"Red Rose! It's an awesome shampoo I use all the time and always make my hair feel red every day, and maybe it can do the same for you." Auriana bragged with a wink.
"Sounds cool, but I think I'm red with both red and black otherwise just having one color would ruin the whole look. Don't you agree?" Lev asked with a smirk.
Auriana was about to protest and suggest to Lev that he should really try the shampoo though got a second thought when she looks at his hair closer.
"You're right, you do look great as you are and maybe I could go for a little black too." Auriana smirked.
"That would be something to see." Lev lifted her hair and sniffs it.
"Oh, hold that pose! That is a great shot of a couple!" Ted excited and took some pictures of the two.
"Huh, we're not actually a couple yet." Lev stated.
"But we could be." Auriana giggled.
"Is it just me or does she seem more bolder than usual with boys?" Iris asked whispering to Talia.
"It's not just that, but it feels like Auriana is behaving weird too like how she just threw Amaru away." Talia pointed out as Amaru nods in agreement.
(Later)
Ted finish with some of the photos and left saying he'll be back later and Lolirock decided to go hang out at the smoothie bar, and Auriana is hugging onto Lev's arm.
"I bet everyone is going to be jealous seeing us together." Auriana bragged while taking a few selfie pictures of herself and Lev.
"Actually, I'm gonna have to get a raincheck on the smoothies because I just remember that I was supposed to help Doug with some invention he made the other day." Lev informed with a playfully chuckle.
"Seriously? That's so lame." Auriana complained rolling her eyes.
"Just ditch the damn nerd and come hang out with me instead, I can make your time very worthwhile." Auriana smiled.
"As much as I love to do that, but I gave him my word and I have to go. So sorry." Lev shrugged.
"You just became less fun." Auriana rolled her eyes and walked away past Iris and Talia.
"Well, guess we'll be seeing you later then." Iris said.
But immediately Lev pulls both Iris and Talia close to him ear range so that Auriana doesn't listen to this, and his eyes look serious much to the girls' surprise.
"Something is definitely wrong with Auriana, stay close to her and I'll see what I can dig up on my end." Lev said low but loud enough for the two princesses to hear.
Iris and Talia were surprised that Lev also suspected that he also catches on about Auriana's sudden strange change in her behavior, but they shouldn't really consider that Lev used to be a thief who only looked after himself and seen these kinds of things like people behaving differently than normal.
"Okay, we'll try to stay close." Iris nodded.
"Hey, you two coming or should I go by myself not that I mind meaning more attention to me." Auriana called out.
"We're coming!" Iris responded and they quickly catch up to Auriana.
Lev looks on seeing the girls leave which gives him the time to check on something that suspect is very off, and he needed one person to be very sure that if what he suspects is true.
"Time to head back, he better be back home and not goofing off like going to the beach." Lev said without realizing that his body was glowing red for a bit.
Just when Lev was about to run toward the house, he suddenly vanished in a flash of red light.
(Sunny Bay Beach)
Lev started running only to notice that his feet aren't touching the ground anymore and looks down seeing that he is right above the sea water.
"What the?!" Lev gasped before suddenly dropped into the water though only on the shallow part of the shore.
"Huh, why the heck am I at the beach?" Lev confused.
"Great, now I'm all wet." Lev complained.
"Now I'll have to dry myself off and it's gonna be super-hot to get the water off." Lev said, then disappeared on that same red flash.
(Desert)
Lev now finds himself in the desert where he and the others fought the crystal worms being shocked by this again.
"Okay, what the Crystal-Hell is going on with me?" Lev confused as he tries to think about this until he realizes something.
"It feels like I'm going far out from this world!" Lev shocked, then teleported again to a new location.
(Above the Earth's Atmosphere)
Lev now find himself floating in space close to the earth as he looks down to see how cool the planet is from the view, but the cool scenery watch came to an end when he felt his body screaming in pain and the lack of oxygen here meaning he needs to get back to earth now.
On instinct, his teleportation power sent him to another place back on earth.
(Sunny Bay Lake)
Lev now finds himself at the lake on the dock as he gasp for air coming back to him and sigh in relief as he came to one conclusion about what has been happening to him.
"Hold on a minute, this must be Shadow's own original power. To teleport wherever he goes, and now I just discovered that!" Lev shocked at himself.
"Well, it would be awesome to see how much I can teleport like this… But I can't be fooling around, not when there's a moon princess that needs saving from herself." Lev said serious like earlier.
Lev closes his eyes concentrating on one person who he believes can help with this problem and use his teleportation power to vanish from the desert to the place where the person he was thinking about could be and hopes he can solve this mystery before it's too late.
(With Mephisto and Doug)
"And you sure this won't hurt me?" Mephisto asked worry while wearing metal gloves.
"Don't worry, those Knuckle Shovels, as I like to call them, will help you punch through the ground for some digging action which is why I placed the X you're standing on." Doug explained.
Mephisto looks down seeing the X.
"Well, if you say so." Mephisto shrugged as he decided to just go with it since Doug is the smarter one in the room.
"Okay, now let's begin the test." Doug declared and pressed a button on his tablet.
Mephisto was about to start punching the ground with his new weapons until Lev suddenly appeared right in front of him.
"Mephisto, I need your help!" Lev said.
This spooked Mephisto became spooked that he threw his punch right at Doug's tablet destroying it in two pieces.
"Great, now I'll have to get some parts to repair this… or get a new one." Doug sighed.
"Lev, why'd you suddenly come in when we were in the middle of our testing the Knuckle Shovels." Doug asked.
"Also, since when can you teleport at all?" Doug asked surprise of Lev being able to teleport just like that.
"Sorry, but I need Mephisto to check about an evil spell on shampoo." Lev explained.
"The what on what?" Mephisto shocked. Looks like Doug's science project on the new gloves he made for him will have to wait.
(Lolirock Studio)
Lev took Mephisto to the large box of Red Rose shampoos as the former evil henchman of Gramar inspect them with his magic then tiny black glowing started to appear from his searching spell.
"Oh dear, you're right! These shampoos have been enchanted with a dark evil that can turn anyone into an evil side of themselves, and I bet the spikes on my hands that my sister has something to do with this." Mephisto deduced.
"Praxina must've done this when they were being delivered." Lev guessed.
"Not to mention spying on us like always." Mephisto rolled his eyes. Sometimes he wonders if his sister knows a thing or two about privacy.
"Is there a way to reverse the spell?" Lev asked.
"I think so, but I don't know one though maybe Lyna might come up with a way." Mephisto believed.
"Then we better get moving before Auriana does something crazy." Lev hoped he's not too late.
But suddenly he heard his phone ringing as he is getting a called and quickly picks it up to see that it is Iris that is coming him.
"Pink Princess, this call better be about you and the girls coming up with new dance moves." Lev said acting causal as he can be.
"Oh, I wish we were talking about dance moves when Auriana is not being such a brat right now." Iris sounded worry.
"What happened?" Lev asked.
"You were right about something wrong with Auriana, she suddenly became like the opposite of herself like how she got mad at Ted for his photos not being pretty enough and now she just joined Praxina." Iris explained.
"Well, me and Mephisto just found out that she turned our moon princess evil through the shampoo. We're going to see Lyna to see if she can help make an antidot." Lev mentioned.
"Let's meet at the hideout, we'll talk more there and make a plan." Iris suggested.
"I just hope we aren't too late to reverse this." Lev said, now being the one sounded worry.
"Don't worry, we'll get her back. That's a promise." Iris determined.
Lev started to look determined too as he won't stop until Auriana is back with her true friends and back in his arms.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Sorry about now updating this yesterday, had a family dinner at a restaurant and it was late.
Do you guys thought that shampoo couldn't be use for evil like how one or more bottles turned Auriana evil to turn against Lolirock. Now the group will have to think of a way to get her back from Praxina and Lev is being serious about this more than he ever had felt in his whole life for someone.
