"Bzz! Bzz!"

Shirou moaned as he heard his alarm clock from the nearby stand right next to his bed. He then raised his hand to proceed to turn it off. "Mnnnh...it's already morning?" Shirou thought to himself as he got out of bed. As he did, he then went into the bathroom to refresh himself for the morning.

However, when he was about to do so, he then looked in the mirror, and noticed something completely crucial about himself.

His hair color was in a pure white, just like EMIYA and EMIYA Alter's.

At that moment, Shirou had one thought to himself.

"What in the root is this?!"

(In EMIYA's room...)

EMIYA woke up and he went to the bathroom to check on himself. As he did, he noticed a certain change that made him shocked upon seeing himself in the mirror.

His hair was red, just like his younger counterpart.

And he did not take it well.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! HOW DID MY HAIR COLOR TURN RED LIKE MY YOUNGER SELF?!"

(In EMIYA's Alter's room...)

EMIYA Alter let out a small moan as he got out of bed. As he did, he then went into the bathroom to check on himself.

And like his un-altered counterpart, he noticed something different in the mirror.

His hair, despite being shaved, was red, just like his younger counterpart.

"What the hell is this?! Why is my hair red?!"

Shirou let out a moan as he was getting used to the new change that has happened to him this morning. "What in the root is this? Just how did my hair turn white this morning? I'm pretty sure that I did not drink something weird yesterday. Unlike that last time with Merlin..." Shirou thought as he remembered the time where he was turned into a woman because of Merlin.

As Shirou continued walking, he ended up passing by a lot of servants who mistook him as EMIYA.

"Hey? Isn't that the red bowman?" one servant asked.

"No wait, that's Emiya Shirou," another servant said.

"Really? But he looks so different with white hair. In fact, he kind of looks like the red bowman that we would see in the kitchen..."

"To be fair, it was revealed that he and the red bowman were the same person..."

"Oh yeah..."

Shirou let out a small sigh as he heard the comments from the servants he would pass by. "The hair color change seems big to everyone here huh...this is going to be a long day..."

As Shirou continued walking, it was then he bumped into two certain servants.

EMIYA and EMIYA Alter.

And just like him, they had their hairstyles altered too.

Upon seeing their younger self, both EMIYA and EMIYA Alter let out a small sigh as they now knew that along with them, he had his hair color changed.

For a moment, they were silent upon meeting each other. Then EMIYA decided to speak out.

"So, the change happened to you too?" EMIYA asked Shirou.

"Yeah. The same happened to you too?" Shirou replied.

"Yup. We woke up looking like this earlier," EMIYA Alter said as he pointed his shaved hair.

Shirou let out a sigh. "Is Merlin involved in this again?"

"Honestly, I'm surprised if he wasn't even involved in this at all. You know how much he likes to play pranks on everyone here," EMIYA replied.

"No kidding. Remember that time where he turned you into a girl?" EMIYA Alter said as he remembered the first appearance of Shirou as a girl.

"Yeah, I remember. Why are you asking me that though?"

"Well...after what happened to you, Merlin turned us into girls as well," EMIYA said.

Shirou nearly dropped his mouth upon hearing EMIYA's statement. "No way."

"Yeah."

"And when did that happen?"

"A few days after you were turned into a girl," EMIYA Alter replied.

"But wait, if that's the case, then how come is it that when I saw both of you, you two were still normal?"

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Because unlike you, we managed to figure out who turned us into girls immediately and sought him out."

"And then you two threatened him to give you the potion?"

"Exactly," EMIYA and EMIYA Alter replied in unison.

Shirou let out a sigh. "Sometimes I will never understand what goes on in Merlin's head..." he muttered.

"Me neither," EMIYA said.

"Well then, here remains the big question. What do we do now?" EMIYA Alter asked.

For a moment, Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter were quiet as they were thinking what their next move should be to fix their problems.

However, as they were thinking, they realized something.

It was almost breakfast, and they were not in the cafeteria.

Which would result in Arturia and her counterparts getting hungry immediately.

At that moment, Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter had one thought in mind.

"Hunger is the enemy."

Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter were walking towards the cafeteria together. As they were walking towards the cafeteria, Shirou let out a sigh.

"Hm? Something wrong?" EMIYA asked.

"Honestly, I'm not sure on how to explain the situation here. I mean, with my hair being dyed to white while both of you had your hair dyed to red," Shirou said.

EMIYA Alter sighed as well. "Well, we'll just have to explain the situation when we arrive there."

"You got a point there..."

Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter continued walking towards the cafeteria. Eventually, they arrived there.

And as they did, they saw Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Sakura, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, and Jaguar-man looking at them with a gaze.

"Shirou..."

"Emiya-kun..."

"Senpai..."

"Onii-chan..."

"Sherou..."

Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter let out a small sigh and continued walking towards the cafeteria. As they got there, everyone's gazes were focused on them as they arrived in the kitchen.

For a moment, there was silence in the cafeteria. Then Arturia decided to speak out.

"Shirou...your hair..."

Shirou let out a sigh. "Yes. It's been dyed. The same can be said about my counterparts as well."

"But how though? What happened to it?" Ishtar asked.

"Well, that's the thing. We don't know. All we know was that when we woke up, our hair was already dyed like this," EMIYA replied.

"Is that so?" Parvati asked.

"Yeah," EMIYA Alter said as he began to head back to his work along with Shirou and EMIYA. As they did, everyone in the cafeteria continued looking at Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter working in the kitchen.

"Wow. Shirou with white hair..." Arturia said.

"Hm...it does look good on him..." Arturia Alter said.

"This is a first..." Arturia Lily said.

"Yeah. He kind of looks like Archer and his counterpart over there," Lancer Arturia said.

"To be fair, they are the same person, although from different timelines," Lancer Arturia Alter said.

"Exactly. Still though, the thought of Shirou having white hair..." Ruler Arturia said.

"I know. Quite bizarre. Especially since Archer and his counterpart now have red hair," Archer Arturia said.

"I agree. We're used to seeing Shirou in his usual hair color and vice versa. So this is a new thing," Rider Arturia Alter said.

"Indeed. I have a feeling this is Merlin's work," Santa Arturia Alter said.

"Not again...another of that guy's pranks?" Mysterious Heroine X said.

"I swear, after we're done eating, we're finding him immediately," Mysterious Heroine X Alter said.

"Agree," Mysterious Heroine XX said.

"Huh. So, this is what Emiya-kun looks like with white hair..." Ishtar said.

"Yeah. He looks like Archer in a weird way," Ereshkigal said.

"I agree. But he doesn't have the cynicism of Archer though..." Rider Ishtar said.

"Sempai with white hair and Archer with red hair..." Parvati said.

"I'll admit, the hair color does look good on him," Kama said.

"Agreed. A white-haired sempai is something I could get used to," BB said.

"He does look cool," Passionlip said.

"Indeed. White hair seems to be a good combination with him. However, red hair on Archer though...feels weird. Especially on the alter..." Meltlilith said.

"Hm...the hair does match his name now," Kingprotea said.

"Wow. Onii-chan with white hair feels so weird..." Illya said.

"You think so? I think it looks great on him!" Kuro said excitedly.

"Yeah! White hair on onii-chan seems to work on him!" Sitonai replied in the same tone of voice Kuro had.

"Still though, I prefer red as his hair color..." Miyu said.

"I agree with Miyu! I prefer Sherou's natural red hair color!" Astraea said.

"Oh my...all three of my sons had their hair dyed..." Irisviel said.

Kiritsugu didn't say anything.

And surprisingly, Jaguar-man didn't say anything either...

Time has passed since Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter had their hair dyed together out of nowhere. Right now, Shirou. EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter were asking other servants to see if anyone saw them go into their rooms last night.

Sadly, they didn't get any results as everyone in Chaldea didn't see anyone going into their rooms at the same time.

Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter soon met up in one of Chaldea's recreational rooms. "So, any of you found the culprit?" EMIYA asked.

"Nope," Shirou replied.

"Me neither," EMIYA Alter replied.

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Well, this is getting nowhere. After many hours of finding who the culprit is, we don't even have a lead on whoever it is."

"I agree. Even after meeting everyone here including master, I still don't know who did this to us," Shirou said.

"Yeah. I even asked Merlin earlier, and surprisingly, he wasn't responsible for this," EMIYA Alter said.

Shirou and EMIYA were shocked upon hearing what EMIYA Alter said. "You're kidding me," EMIYA said.

"I wish."

Both Shirou and EMIYA thought about what EMIYA Alter said earlier. "If Merlin isn't the one who pulled this prank on us, then who did...?"

After minutes of thinking about who was the one who pranked them, they eventually gave up as they couldn't figure out an answer to their problem.

"Well? Should we figure this problem out later?" Shirou asked.

EMIYA sighed. "I agree."

"Same," EMIYA Alter said.

And then Shirou, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter soon left the room. As they did, their changed hair color had some reactions from the servants that knew them, especially Shirou.

In Cu and his counterparts' case, they were shocked with the hair color change.

In Medusa and her counterparts' case, they were also shocked with the hair color change.

In Caster Medea's case, she was confused with the hair color change.

In Sasaki's case, he didn't care about the hair color change.

In Heracles' case, he just roared.

In Archer Gilgamesh's case, he had a face of shock while his Caster and Kid counterparts were confused with his reaction.

In Nero and her counterparts' reaction, they were surprised with the dyed hair.

In Jeanne D'Arc and her counterparts' reaction, Jeanne D'Arc Alter and her Santa Lily counterpart were in awe of the white hair on Shirou while Jeanne D'Arc just smiled at the two.

In Okita and her counterpart's case, Okita Alter asked if Shirou became a counter guardian while Okita just sighed with EMIYA and EMIYA Alter following her.

In Musashi's case, she was surprised with the hair color change.

In the Knights of the Round's case, they were surprised with the hair color change, and they were even more surprised that Merlin was not responsible for this change.

In Nursery's, Jack's, Abigail's, and Paul's case, they were surprised with the hair color change.

In Arthur's case, he was surprised with the hair color change, and was even more surprised that Merlin was not responsible for the change.

In Amakusa Shirou's case, he was surprised.

In Scathach and her counterpart's case, they didn't care.

In Hakuno's case, she made a comment about Shirou saying he looked like Nameless when he was younger.

In Waver's case, he didn't care.

As they continued walking in the hallway, Shirou didn't look where he was going and accidentally bumped into Jaguar-man.

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

Both servants fell to the ground after bumping into each other. As they were nursing the head injury they received, they looked at each other.

"Well, that smarts...hey there Shirou..." Jaguar-man said.

"Fuji-nee..." Shirou said before he noticed something.

Right next to her was a few cans.

"Wait. Those cans...don't tell me..." they thought in unison as Shirou quickly grabbed the cans before Jaguar-man could.

"Oh no! The cans!" Jaguar-man thought in horror.

As Shirou inspected the can, he realized what the cans were.

They were cans of dye. One was in red and the other was in white.

For a moment, there was silence between the servants. Then Shirou looked at Jaguar-man with an annoyed face. "Fuji-nee..." he muttered.

"Ehehehe...Shirou...sorry!" Jaguar-man muttered as she slowly walked backwards...before running away immediately.

"Fuji-nee! Get back here!" Shirou yelled as he began to run after her while EMIYA and EMIYA Alter stayed behind.

EMIYA and EMIYA Alter let out a sigh as they now knew who dyed their hair.

"I should have known. It was her out of all people...why though?" they thought in unison.

And just like that, Shirou was chasing Jaguar-man all throughout in Chaldea...
