Tina was the first thing I saw in the morning. She entered my house without permission, but since it was my best friend it was fine. And because she wasn't a guy. I didn't know what she was planning, but something tells me it's for my sake.

"Come on lazy bones, I want to take you somewhere today."

"I have animals to take care of."

"Oh we have someone taking care of them. Now go eat. I want you to have your energy."

I gave her a weird look but didn't argue. I cooked enough food for the both of us, since she decided to visit me. She ate with a smile on her face. I wonder what she was thinking about. I hoped that my food was good. She wasn't a food critic like Felicity, but I wanted her to enjoy it. When we finished, she pulled on my arm.

"I have to change if I'm going to go out you know? I don't really need the whole town to see my kitty pajamas you know?" I didn't want to think of all the teasing I'd get.

"What you wear isn't important. Come on you. Trust me, you will like this."

"I'd better or I'll have to move your house in a different place."

"You wouldn't dare. How would it fit?"

"Good point."

Like that she got me out of my house. To my surprise, I saw Iroha watering my crops. The blacksmith waved back at me, before returning to the crops. I looked just in time to see Felicity enter my chicken coop. I don't know how Tina got my friends to do my chores, or how. I just hoped that my animals wouldn't hurt Felicity. I knew how sensitive my animals can get. They trusted me, but they didn't know the waitress.

"I hope she knows what she's doing."

"Oh Alex, you worry too much. She'll be fine."

"Here we are," Tina got my attention. We were in front of the salon.

"Why are we here?"

"Because every girl deserves to have their hair done once in awhile. I gotta go. You should go to Yuri's after this. Michelle and her are going to wait for you. Now go on." She opened the salon door and pushed me inside.

"Hey!"

"Ah Alex, perfect. You're here on time. Sit down and we can get started." Allen pulled out a seat for me to sit on. I did as he ordered with annoyance. Tina could have told me what she was planning.

"You seem tense. Is there a problem? Is it that blonde idiot?" he noticed my silence.

"It's nothing," I took a deep breath and relaxed. I heard him chuckle, but he didn't respond. After a few minutes, I felt myself get calm. It was nice having someone wash and brush my hair. When he was done, I felt better.

"Perfection. But with my skills, did you expect anything less?" Allen smirked, "Also you don't have to pay me for this."

"But I'd feel bad."

"It's ok. You needed this. You do look a lot better than you did a couple of weeks ago. This one's on me."

"Thank you," I bowed to him, "Oh yeah, did you send me flowers?"

"Nope, but I know who did."

"Really who is it?"

"I've been told not to tell. You really don't know do you Alex? He'll be so disappointed. Oh well. You have somewhere to be," he stretched, "See you later." He turned to get a broom to sweep the hair on the ground. I shrugged.

In the tailor's, Michelle was happily chatting away with Yuri. I could tell that Michelle was either talking about magic, or some guy she had been able to use for his money. I didn't like that she did that, but it wasn't any of my business. She was a great friend, but terrible lover.

"Oh you're here. I found the perfect outfit for you," Michelle beamed when I entered the store. Yuri waved to me, and got up to get the outfit. She showed it to me, as I walked over to the dressing area. It was a beautiful pink and blue komodo. I tried it on and it fit me perfectly.

"It looks pretty. . . good on you," Yuri smiled at me softly, "I measured you. . . weeks ago and made. . . it for you."

"You look so cute!" Michelle giggled, "That's all for now. I hope this helped you out."

"Thanks girls. I guess I'm free to go? No other place I have to go?"

"Not really. We just decided to give you a makeover is all. See you later Alex."

"Goodbye."

I kept the komodo on since it felt comfortable and decided to go mining. On the way there, I passed the children in town. All three of them looked like they were having a good time. I hope none of them would have to go through heartbreak.

When I got to the mines, Rod was already inside. He was walking around the mine. He smiled when he saw me, "Hi Alex. You look really cute today. Here to do some mining? I'm just in here for shade. It's pretty hot today."

"Yes I am. I'm here to do some mining."

I checked the red and blue mines, but didn't find anything I really needed. I got to the green one with determination. I might have swung with too much force as I heard shaking. What was going on. I realized what it was too late. I yelped as rock fell in front of my face. I backed away as earth closed near me. I couldn't believe my eyes. The opening was blocked, trapping Rod and I in this cave.

"Alex? Are you hurt? Did anything hit you?"

"I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm fine. Looks like we are trapped."

I felt my heart sink. What were we going to do?
