Shine

Freddie loved Sam's hair. He loved to play with it; though he had to make sure that Sam had some sort of meat product in her hand or she'd smack him. He loved the way it smelled, like strawberries and daisy. He loved the way it felt, soft and springy in his hand. But most of all, he loved the way it shined. Carly's hair shined as well, but that was because, as she told him, she used a special conditioner she bought at her hair salon. Sam's hair shined naturally, without any help. Especially when they went outside into the sun. He had never seen hair shine like that. Even when he had seen Melanie and Sam side by side at the beach one day when Melanie came to visit (that had been a bit of a shock to him, seeing as Sam had told him that she wasn't real), he noticed that Melanie's hair didn't shine nearly as much as Sam's. That was one of the ways he told them apart. Carly thought he was crazy, for she couldn't see any difference in the twins' hair. But to Freddie it was clear. There were many things that made Sam Puckett beautiful in his mind, but her hair would always stand out to him.
