A/N: Inspired by the fact that I chose to have Mimi braid her hair. Plus I feel like this is something she might do for amusement.
Background: Joe's hair, which was already slightly long during 02, has not been cut since.
"Jooooooe..."
The boy in question looked up from the anatomy textbook he had been reading. He stared at Mimi, who was standing next to him, leaning forward with a hopeful smile. "Um, can I help you with something Mimi?"
She giggled. "Are you busy right now?"
Joe glanced down at his textbook. "Not particularly I guess."
Mimi clapped her hands together in delight. "Great!" she exclaimed. "So..."
She took a deep breath, as though preparing to ask something. Joe waited in anticipation, slightly confused and curious.
"Yes?" he asked.
Mimi looked Joe in the eye.
"Can I braid your hair?"
Joe yelped, instinctively grabbing the blue strands behind his head. "Wh-what?! Braid my hair? Why?"
"Because it's long and pretty, obviously!"
Pretty was not something that Joe thought described his hair at all. Unfortunately, as he ran his fingers through it, he realized that Mimi was right – after all he hadn't cut it since coming to Zenkyoshi, and it was already slightly long before he came...
Mimi batted her eyelashes at Joe. "Pleeease?"
"No!"
She pouted. "Come on, why not?"
"Because it's just not..." he shook his head madly. "No!"
"But you'd look dashing in it."
"I don't want to look dashing!"
"Do it for me?"
Joe sweatdropped a little. This was going to be difficult.
