Part 2: Chapter 1

Jonathan stood at the karaoke machine at Tric singing We're Not Gonna Take It at the top of his lungs. Lydia, Lily, Haley, and Nathan sat at a table watching him. As he finished, Lydia got up and walked over to him.

"Okay," Lydia said. "Not that I don't enjoy watching you destroy songs, but we really need to continue decorating for the Halloween party tomorrow."

"Okay," Jonathan said.

Chase arrived.

"I'm here to help," Chase said.

"We're fine," Jonathan said. "Go away."

"Jonathan," Chase said. "Look, I'm sorry for making you upset, but you will show me respect."

"Yes Father," Jonathan said before going over to hang up decorations.

"Teenagers," Chase said.

"Come and talk to me when he backs a car into a swimming pool," Nathan said.

"Or steals a bus," Haley said.

"You stole a bus?" Lydia asked.

"Your father did," Haley replied.

"Along with the whole basketball team," Nathan added.

"And yet I got grounded one time for when I forgot my homework," Lydia said.

"Yep," Haley said. "That's how it works."

"Hey Mom," Haley said. "Can I dye my hair?"

"Sure," Haley said. "What color?"

"I was hoping to go for a dark red," Lydia replied.

"Go for it," Haley said.

"Good," Lydia said getting the hair dye box out of her pocket. "I'll go dye my hair now."

Jonathan continued hanging up the decorations. Chase walked over to him.

"Jonathan," Chase said. "We need to go talk."

"Okay," Jonathan said before following Chase out the exit.

An hour later, everyone except Lydia was back to decorating.

"What's taking Lydia so long?" Jonathan asked.

"Hair dye takes a while," Lily replied.

Lydia screamed from inside the restroom.

"I'll go check on her," Lily said.

Lily walked into the restroom to see Lydia had locked herself in the stall.

"Lydia?" Lily asked.

"Go away!" Lydia shouted. "This is just awful!"

"Lydia," Lily said. "What's wrong?"

"The worst possible thing ever!" Lydia shouted.

"Just show me," Lily said.

Lydia walked out of the stall to reveal bright orange hair. Lily couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry," Lily laughed.

"It's not funny!" Lydia shouted holding up the box. "My hair is supposed to look like the girl in this picture! Now I look like Tigger!"

"Never use generic hair dyes," Lily said. "Always use name brands."

"Can you help me dye it again?" Lydia asked.

"Not for at least another 4 weeks," Lily said.

"4 weeks!" Lydia screamed. "But I have school! Can't you just dye it now?"

"I'm sorry Lydia," Lily said. "But if you dye your hair now, it could fall out."

"But I look like Tigger!" Lydia screamed.

Haley came into restroom.

"I just wanted to check on…" Haley said before she noticed Lydia's hair. "That is not dark red!"

"She got the generic brand dye," Lily explained.

"Never get the generic," Haley said. "You look like Tigger."

"This is all your fault for letting me dye my hair!" Lydia shouted.

"You're the one who bought the dye," Haley said. "This is all on you."

"I mean, it's not that bad," Lily said. "A lot of people have orange looking hair."

"Not like this!" Lydia shouted.

"It's barely noticeable," Haley said.

"Not really," Lily said.

Haley hit Lily's shoulder.

"I mean, so unnoticeable," Lily said.

Nathan and Jonathan walked into the restroom.

"What's going on in…" Nathan started to say. "You're hair is orange!"

"I think it's hot," Jonathan said.

"Parents present," Nathan said.

"This is awful!" Lydia screamed. "I'm going home!"

Lydia stormed out of the restroom and walked past Chase.

"Lydia," Chase said. "Your hair! It's orange!"

Lydia screamed and stormed out of Tric.
