"I can't believe she did that!" Mal growled. She sat on the floor, leaning against the footboard of her bed. Jane sat on her bed, listening to her friend talk.

"Evie is so annoying when she keeps trying to put makeup on me," Mal complained.

"Maybe you should tell her that?" Jane suggested.

Mal sighed. "I tried, but she keeps saying I need the makeup. What's that supposed to mean?!" she asked.

"Maybe she meant you didn't look...your best?" the timid fairy said hesitantly.

Mal scowled at her friend sitting on her bed. She knew she was just trying to make her feel better, but her words didn't help with the situation. The purple-haired girl continued her rant, ignoring Jane's comment.

"And that's not even the worst of my troubles. Earlier today, Carlos ratted me out for using magic," Mal stated.

She then felt a tug at her hair. Frowning, she looked back at Jane, who was holding a few strands of her purple hair in her hands.

"Are you braiding my hair?" Mal asked.

"Sorry. It's just...whenever I get stressed, mom braids my hair as a way to calm me down," Jane explained.

Mal looked down. Her mom's never done anything like that. She barely cared about her problems. Instead, she kept telling her she needed to be more evil. Mal looked back up at a nervous Jane.

"Must be nice to have a mother like that," the purple-haired teen said.

Jane didn't answer verbally. Instead she nodded. Mal turned away from her.

"You can keep braiding my hair if you want," she stated, bring a little smile to the timid fairy.

"Really?" Jane asked. "Yup," Mal answered.

With that, Jane began to braid Mal's purple hair as the half-fairy ranted on about Evie and Carlos.

Sorry this is like really short, but I didn't know how else to make it longer. Next time I'll try to make it longer.
