Nine-year-old Danny Fenton lay on the living room couch while watching his favorite show on television. Watching television was his favorite thing to do on his free time, and since it was Spring Break, he would be watching TV nonstop for the entire week. He did not really have any other hobbies. Danny was so absorbed in the show that he did not hear his sister rush rapidly into the room as the doorbell rang.
"Danny, Tucker's here!" Jazz shouted.
Danny jumped off the leather couch, not bothering to turn the television off, and ran to the front door. His best friend stood just outside of the doorway.
"Hi, Tucker!"
"Hi, Danny." When Jazz turned around and walked back to the kitchen, Tucker then reached over and whispered in Danny's ear, "Wait 'til you see what I brought in my backpack."
Tucker walked inside and the two of them ran upstairs. When they reached Danny's room, they went inside, locked the door, and set Tucker's large blue backpack on the bed.
"Check this out," Tucker said as he reached into his backpack. He pulled out a large blue and green neon can that contained the word "Shocker" written in messy handwriting with a black permanent sharpie.
"Tucker, what is that?" Danny seemed impressed.
"Shocker, by Tucker Foley!" Tucker stood up straight, placed his hands on his hips, and looked up at the far corner of the room, trying to look tall, muscular, and cool, "It's my special secret hair stuff. It makes hair freeze in place."
"Freeze?"
"Yes, Danny, freeze."
Tucker sat on the bed, "The hair stays for a long time. I tried it on my mom last night while she was sleeping, and she woke up practically screaming. She was so shocked at how amazing it was."
"What's in it?" the extremely curious boy asked.
Tucker started counting on his fingers, "Melted glue sticks, melted hot glue sticks, butter, strawberry bubble gum, and freezing cold water."
"That's awesome! Can I try it on my hair?" the black-haired 9-year-old clueless boy requested.
"Why not?"
Danny swiped the spray can from Tucker's hands and started spraying it all over his hair. To describe Danny's hairstyle briefly, Danny's generally straight black hair slightly hid his eyes while hanging down his forehead. That would soon change after the results of the intoxicating spray.
After about five minutes of spraying his hair and practically dancing around the room with it, Danny emptied the can of its contents. When the fog cleared, Tucker stared at him in shock.
"Danny, that's…."
"Well, how do I look?"
Danny walked over to the mirror, Tucker's eyes following him, and stared at his new hairstyle. He was astounded.
"That's amazing!" Tucker shouted truthfully.
Danny could not say it any better himself. His bangs, which used to hang down in his face, now stood out straight above his forehead. His hair was messy for once, which he had tried to do for years.
"Oh my gosh, Tucker, this is amazing! I promise to never wash my hair ever again!"
He kept his promise.
Okay, I think this is a cute idea I came up with, just not well written. I promised to upload the first chapter of "Jackie Phantom" today, which I totally forgot about, so I'm uploading this to make up for it. I will upload "Jackie Phantom", but I don't think it'll be until the Christmas holidays since I'm attempting NaNoWriMo in November, which starts literally any minute now. See you there!
About my profile, I said that I would upload it, but with Trick-or-Treaters coming to the door and having to give out candy, it was kind of hectic, and I'm way too tired to focus on it right now, so I WILL update my profile by tomorrow, November 1st.
That's all for now. Oh, and I beat my typing record today, 100 words per minute, 100% accuracy! Forgive me, I'm excited ;).
