Sabrina hurried into the house, clutching her book. She had showed it to Granny Relda, who approved and advised she read it somewhere Puck wouldn't see it- He was sure to make some snide remark about her needing to learn how to be awesome. Ugh. I can't believe Granny ever invited him to live with us! Sabrina thought to herself. The girl grabbed a flashlight, and pulled down on her hat. She walked into her room, and opened the closet door. Surely, no one would bother her there!

Once she had gotten comfortable, (and removed the stack of clothes that had fallen on Sabrina's orange head) she opened the book and began to read.

How To Be Awesome In Just 10 Days

Intro

Dearest Reader,

Congratulations. You are one of the few people with the good sense to buy this book. Keep in mind that other people, maybe people you know, are also training to be awesome. Therefore, you should always treat people with caution. Everyone is competition. For if you are awesome, then you must be unique. If you are going to be unique, then you need to be the best. Good luck, dear friend.

Sabrina smiled to herself. It seemed that this book was meant for her! And to think, if it hadn't been for Puck, she never would have found it. "Maybe fairy-boy isn't so bad after all..." she whispered. All of a sudden, Sabrina heard the sound of muffled laughter coming from the other side of the closet, under a pile of clothes. She nervously grabbed a high heel dress up shoe, and pointed it at the pile.

"Show yourself!" she said threateningly. "I have a high-heel, and I know how to use it!"

"Okay, okay," the voice said. A figure stood up, brushing off clothes.

"Red! What are you doing here?"

"I like to hide here when Granny is mad. She's not mad that much though, so it's not like you get the chance to see me."

"Oh."

"Yeah. What's that book?"

"Oh, uh, nothing."

"Uh-huh. Now, what's this about Puck?"

Sabrina blushed. "I, er, just, it's that, you see..." She scowled, seeing Red's grin. "I was simply saying that I'm going to kill him. Look what he did to my hair!" She pulled off her hat, and the young girl gasped.

"But... Why? That's going pretty far, even for Puck." Red asked. "Good thing I know just what to do!"

"What?" Sabrina asked eagerly. She wasn't usually so nice to the former lunatic, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

"We can go to a friend of mine. They'll fix you up, promise!" Red said.

After a few minutes of begging, they convinced Uncle Jake to take the two girls to a "secret place" that Red whispered to him. Sabrina was uneasy about meeting this friend of Red's, but she might as well humor the little girl. Just as she decided this, they pulled up at a small building with the a sign saying "Gene's Hair and Nail Salon!"

It turned out to be run by the Genie in the story of Aladdin. In real life, he resembled a large middle aged man with a pony tail. "Red! What a pleasure to see you!" He said happily. "Who is this lovely young la- OH MY GREAT GOLLY GOODNESS WHAT HAPPENED?" Genie yelled, seeing Sabrina's tangerine locks.

"It's that bad, huh?" she said uncomfortably.

"Sorry doll, but yeah."

"I'm going to kill Puck," Sabrina muttered.

"Trust me, I've seen his work before," Genie said. "Rhonda! Clear my schedule! We have a p- 12-o!"

Sabrina was ushered into a different room, labeled P-10-15-C. "What do those letters and numbers mean?" she asked.

"It means people between ages 10 to 15 who've had their hair died a different color by Puck," he explained.

The rest of the day was spent having her hair washed, brushed, sprayed with a funny smelling liquid, washed again, dyed her normal color but lighter, and getting her nails done. Sabrina wasn't used to doing something so, well, girlish. She looked around the room, inspecting different posters with cool hair-styles. As she prepared to ask for Genie to darken it a little, Sabrina noticed a poster of a girl with deep auburn hair, black highlights on the tips. "Hmm..." she said, grinning.
