Chapter 9

"Lily you look great!" Elaine exclaimed after the chair had been turned around.

Lily had her hair cut to about her shoulders and had layers framing her face from there. She then had a part over to the left and she had magic blond highlights that she could take out when she wanted. She also had a few bangs to the right side. The hair around her face kind of curled around to her face as well.

Lily turned around and looked in the mirror. She did look a lot different; she could actually think herself pretty in a way.

She turned back around and smiled at Elaine.

"Thanks I really do look a lot different." Lily said, she then exclaimed to Elaine, "You look fantastic too! I can't believe you cut your hair!"

"Yea well," Elaine said shrugging, "I wanted to make an impression too."

Elaine had cut about 6 inches of her hair off so it was just off her shoulders. She had had them cut her bangs as well except they were more like layers that went to about mid cheek on her the left side of her face. She also had the ends curled under just right

The hair dresser took the cape off of Lily and the two embraced.

"This might just actually work." Lily whispered to Elaine, "We might actually be able to get them back."

"Well isn't this just a precious moment."

Lily and Elaine whipped around to find someone totally different then when they saw her this morning.

"Brooklyn!" Elaine exclaimed.

"Yea well you two look quite different yourselves." Brook said smiling.

They all three embraced in a big hug.

Brook unlike the other two had only about 3 inches cut off so it was about an inch above her elbow. She had had the ends razored and been given layers just in the front of her hair. She had her hair parted on the left side and bangs that went to her eyes hanging down. Also it was straight unlike before.

"I can't believe it!" Elaine exclaimed.

"I know it is totally different." Lily said.

"I would have never had expected us to look like this last year." Brook said.

"Excuse me ladies, but we are ready to do make-up if you wish." One of the hair dressers said.

"Um…. Yes we are ready." Elaine said pulling out of the hug," but Lily has to go get contacts first so Lily there is an eye doctor to go check on your eyes and when you are done come get your make-up done okay?"

"Okay," Lily said heading over to where the eye doctor was, "I'll see you guys in a few minutes."

As she was walking away she turned around and looked at the two walking away. Elaine looked as happy as ever and Brooklyn just couldn't stop smiling.

Applying Make-up

"Ugh… how do you deal with this stuff?" Brook asked trying to apply eye liner after having been shown.

"Well I guess you get use to it, but I don't think that eyeliner will really look that great on you." Elaine said looking at Brooklyn critically.

"Thank goodness, that stuff makes my eyes water just looking at it." Brook said

Elaine laughed and then handed Brook some mascara saying,

"How about you just try this, I bet this is all you need."

Brook looked at the mascara quizzically, but then took it and began to apply it to her eyelashes.

"Well," Elaine began to ask Brook after having finished her make-up, "Does it work?"

"Yea, I guess so," Brook said smiling at Elaine.

Elaine smiled back Brook looked really pretty and she wasn't just being nice saying that. She really did. Her eyes now held happiness and stood out a little more. She didn't need anymore make-up beside mascara, a bit of cover up, and lip gloss.

"Yea I think it does too." Elaine said hugging Brook, "I could never have imagined you like this."

"Thanks Laine, I wish I had your complexion and your eyes look amazing with the eyeliner and eye shadow." Brook said.

Elaine just smiled and said, "How about you go tell the guys that I'm going to stay here until Lily gets here and then I'm going to help her with her make-up."

"Okay," Brook said, but then she looked at Elaine hesitantly as if she had something to say.

"What?" Elaine asked.

"Do you care if I…. never mind." Brook said.

"You sure?" Elaine asked.

"Yea I'm sure." Brook said.

Right then Lily came over and smiled brightly.

"I got my contacts in on my first try." She said happily,

"Cool you can really see your eyes now." Brook said.

"Yea I know it's great." Lily said looking around.

"Well I'll see you guys in a few minutes." Brook said turning around to leave.

"Ok." Elaine said and then teased, "Don't flirt with my brother too much."

Brook just turned around and stuck out her tongue and Lily and Elaine both laughed.

"Okay so what is this?" Lily said picking up and compact.

Elaine smiled as she began once again with the cosmetologist explaining how to apply each piece of make up and what exactly they were for.

Later

"Where are they? They said they'd be here 10 minutes ago." Bret said aggravated.

"Yea well you know girls." Sam said flipping through a quidditch magazine.

"Yea I think I do know girls since I am one."

"You know you really do have a knack for sneaking up on people." Sam said totally unnerved.

Bret and Ryan flipped around to see Brook standing there, but she looked totally different.

"Well I try my best." Brook said smiling.

"So," Sam said standing up looking at Brook for the first time, "Aren't you looking pretty Lyn."

Brooklyn blushed a slight red then mumbled a "Thanks."

"Where are Lily and Elaine?" Bret asked trying to do it nonchalantly, but failing.

"Well all of us had to get our make-up done after we got our hair done, but Lily's is taking longer cause she had to go get contacts so Elaine said she'd stay with her." Brook said plopping down on the couch.

"Wait, so all of you got your hair cut?" Ryan said now interested.

"Yea," She said as Sam started to play with her hair, "Except they both look about 10 times better then how I look and I think I look pretty good."

"Now Brooklyn it is wrong to lie." Elaine said as all the boys turned around to look at Lily and herself.

"Lily you look great." Bret said smiling at her.

"Why thank you Bret." Lily said walking down and sitting down by him.

"And Elaine you look very pretty." Ryan said walking up to her.

"Thanks," Elaine said smiling at Ryan, "Should we go into town now I here there is a chocolate milkshake there with my name on it."

"Okay, "Sam said putting his arm around Brook's waist and smiling, "Let's go."
