A/N: As always, thanks to all the reviewers.

Jason massaged his cheek. "You guys are crazy." His voice sounded weird and muffled thanks to the swelling on his cheek.
"No one forced you to say it," Leo said. "You could've just agreed not to say it."
"Yeah, you lost anyway," Percy said. "So, out of Leo and Frank, who's next?"
"I'll go first," Leo and Frank said simultaneously.
Leo and Frank then turned to each other. "There's only one way to settle this," Frank said.
Leo nodded. "I agree."
"We duel!" both of them shouted out.
Frank took out his sword, while Leo took out a set of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
"So… we weren't talking about this kind of a duel?" Leo asked.
"No," Frank said.
"Well, I suppose you can go first then anyway," Leo said.
Frank swelled up and marched out.
Leo shouted after him, "After all, ladies first!"
Frank stood in the shop, waiting for someone to come in. He just hoped that it wouldn't be someone too crazy.
He barely even noticed when someone said, "Hello! Is anyone there?"
Frank turned around and then looked down.
He saw a Scythian Dracaena, except that this one looked a bit younger than the other ones he'd seen.
"Hello? Do you people still do free makeoversss here?" her voice was a bit higher pitched than normal, so Frank guessed that she was a bit younger than the other ones they had seen.
"Yes," Frank said.
"Oh good, because you see, like, Jennifer contacted me like five daysss ago- she's having her sssweet sssixteen in like a week- I mean that's like sssoooo mean, I need like, at least a week before and so then my gal Gwendolyn says that girl, you need to get some work done on yourself. So then I didn't come here first- I went to the place they have right down next to Hadesss Hall but then they suddenly said that they wouldn't take my credit card, and I was sssooo sure that they were just pulling my leg or ssssomething, I mean, there's no way that my card didn't work, ya know? Ssso then I went to this new place where-"
"Frank, go ahead and yawn," Percy said. "Like yawn right in her face."
"Don't do it Frank!" Jason said, suddenly wide-eyed and massaging his cheek. "Just give up! You might regret it!"
"Yeah, yawning while your customers are talking isn't a good thing," Leo said. "Do it anyway, Frank!"
"-sssoo once we managed to get a new pair of shoes I-" she paused as Frank yawned, a big, long one, right to her face. At least he covered his mouth though.
"Tell her you're sorry and it's because you were up all night," Percy said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Frank said. "I was just up really late last night."
"Yeah you were," Jason said. "After all, you were kept up all night because your room mate had diarrhea and was going to the bathroom all night long."
"Well, you know, it's been a tough night," Frank said. "I mean, I was kept up because my roommate had diarrhea and was using the bathroom all night long."
"She looks so grossed out!" Percy said.
"I can't believe he actually said that," Leo said.
"I kind of didn't need to know that," she said. "I mean like, we really shouldn't be talking about our personal lives too much."
"Hello kettle? This is pot, I'm just calling to tell you that you're black," Leo said.
"So anyway, like I was sssaying," the girl said. "I was like, there with my buddies and the bank manager said that my card wasn't working, and then I went and called his manager, who was thisss really big Hellhound, but he wasn't interested about the customers or doing businesss at all, so I really gave him a piece of my mind and then-"
"Yawn right to her face again," Jason said. "And this time don't even bother covering your mouth with your hand."
Percy gasped. "You're yawning… without covering up your mouth? Savages!"
Frank yawned again, this time fully without even covering his mouth.
The Snake Woman- or Girl, really, seemed rather miffed about it. "Uh, you all right? Or should I come back some other time?"
"Oh no, don't worry, once I'm into the groove, I'll give my hundred and one percent attention," Frank said. "So, uh, what is that you're looking for?"
"Weren't you listening to what I was saying for the past fifteen minutes?" she asked.
"You know, it's telling when she's been talking this long and I think I know less about her than when she first started," Percy said.
"So, do you happen to have a sort of sand spa here? I've heard they're great," she said.
"Hey, Frank, tell her what Anakin Skywalker thinks about sand," Leo said.
"I don't like sand," Frank said. "It's coarse, and rough, and irritating." He then paused. "And it gets everywhere."
"She's looking at Frank like she's wondering what sort of medication he's on," Leo said."I guess she's never seen the movie."
"Frank, I think that was worse and more awkward than the actual line in the movie," Percy said. "And that's saying something."
"What?" she finally managed to get out.
"Don't worry," Frank said. "I uh, think we've got a portable thingy right here, and I'll just have it filled with hot quicksand, I mean, with sand."
"I was kind of rooting for that she'd try to bite him," Percy. "I think she's just going to run away at this point instead."
"Yup," Jason said. "Hey, Frank, once she's immobilized in the sand, she'll need about half an hour for it to really work, so we're sending you something so that you can entertain her while it works."
"Uh, I think you might be getting bored just sitting there," Frank said.
"Oh no, it's like, very cool," she said. "And by that I mean that's it really comforting with all this hot sand all around my two sssnake tails- you know, I can see why real sssnakes do this to keep themselvesss warm."
"So, I've uh, decided to put something up to entertain you," Frank said. "While you wait."
"Eh, no thanksss- I think I'll just take a nap," she said.
Just then, Leo burst in wearing some sort of weird jaguar costume. And yes, it was very, very, badly made.
"Hello there, panda!" Leo shouted at Frank.
Frank and the girl just stared at Leo blankly. Finally, the girl managed to say something.
"Is that guy a furry?" she asked.
"No, we're just here to do a re-enactment of the hit movie, Kung Fu Panda, right here, so that our customers don't get bored," Leo said. "Come on, Frank, turn into a panda already."
"I'm really just okay with taking a nap, you don't have to-"
"Silence! We don't care what the customer wants!" Leo said. "We're going to make you happy whether you like it or not!"
"Come on, Frank, what're you waiting for? Turn into a panda already," Jason said.
Frank sighed and turned into a panda. From the speakers, the music to 'Kung-Fu Fighting' blared out as Frank and Leo circled around each other.
"I knew I should've gone to the other store," the Snake Lady said.
It wasn't much of a fight though, as Leo started sobbing and gave up when Frank gave him a small slap on the arm as if it was a life-threatening wound.
And just then, Percy came in on the scene, dressed up like a police officer.
"I'm sorry sir," Percy said. "But you just hit a jaguar, an endangered species. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you in." Percy then cuffed Frank, still in his panda form.
"Wait just a minute!" came a voice from outside as Jason barged in, wearing a suit and tie. "I will have you know that I am a lawyer from the Panda Outreach Orderly Protection society, also known as P.O.O.P. for short, and I'm here to defend this panda."
By now, the Scythian Dracaena decided that she had seen enough and left.
"Stop it already!" Frank said. "The customer's already left! And if you're all here, who's recording the footage?"
Result: Frank lost.
With all of that done, Leo was the only one left standing. The others had all taken losses, so Leo knew that this was his time to shine and show everyone what he was made of.
"Leo, you know we're not going to let you win after all this," Frank said. "You should just give up right now."
A harpy entered the shop. She seemed a bit older than Ella.
"Tell her that she looks just like the girl on your waifu pillow," Percy said.
Both Jason and Frank guffawed and Percy actually fell out of his chair.
Even Leo cracked up in front of the customer.
"Is something wrong?" the harpy asked.
"No, it's just that well," Leo paused, wondering if he really wanted to go through with this. After all, there was the risk of ending up like Jason. "Well, you look just like the girl on my waifu pillow."
"What's a waifu pillow?" the harpy asked.
"Don't look it up," Leo said.
"Tell her that this shop is just a front for you to sell weed," Percy said. "And then ask her if she wants some."
"Um, well, I don't know if you know this, but this isn't a real makeover shop," Leo said. "This is a front for me to sell weed. Do you want some?"
"No, I just came to get my nails done really quick," she said and held up her perfectly manicured nails.
"Did she not listen to what Leo just said?" Frank asked. "Or does she just not care?"
"Your nails seem fine though," Leo said.
"Oh, yeah, that's the thing though," the harpy said. "I need to go and ruin them- you know, how it is with heroes coming and going, I need something scary. So go on, ruin this manicure for me."
""Kay," Leo said.
"I used to think that Leo couldn't do anything without messing it up," Jason said. "And now he's being asked to mess something up. How would this work out?"
It worked out pretty well for Leo, actually.
Result: Leo passed.
A/N: Leo has a single negative point, Frank has two, and Percy and Jason have three negative points each.
It occurs to me that no one got an actual makeover in these two chapters... mainly because it's pretty easy to show a makeover but hard to write about it.
Regarding last time's topic, the votes are four male to two female... I honestly thought it would be worse to say it to a female personally.
Thanks for reading, and do review if you liked!
