Hands of a thief

Gorgeous

"Well, how are we gonna do this El?" Max began, exchanging cheeky grins with the two of them, but stopped when she realized neither girl had any idea what a makeover entailed. 

"Hmph. Well alright, I guess we'll start with your hair!" Max exclaimed, earning a shy smile from El who nodded enthusiastically, though she was still unsure about her own haircut. She liked it, but she also liked Two's hair already. The thought of Two changing her looks so that perhaps, the people from the lab wouldn't recognize her right away made her quickly become positive about the whole experience. Perhaps Two's powers could also help them!

"Hey Two... I was wondering. Maybe you should try to grow your hair?" El whispered, trying to gauge her friend's reaction. Sometimes El didn't want to use her powers because they exhausted her, and she didn't want to embarrass Two by any means. 

"Wait, you can do that?" Max questioned rapidly, not caring that she was almost vibrating in her seat in anticipation. 

"Well... I've never tried but I guess I could speed up time for my hair growth?" Two responded. 

"That could work! We won't know if we don't try. And hey, maybe you could do something for El's hair?" Max asked with a quirky expression. 

"You don't like my hair?" El questioned with a slight frown.

"No! I mean I like it, but you seem a bit unsure still." El sighed and then responded "You know what. I think I'll keep it anyway. Mike likes it and I like the way it makes me feel." 

"Confident?" Max asked knowingly. 

"Yeah" El smiled. 

"Well... I would like to grow out my hair... let's try." Two placed a lock of her hair and concentrated on the strands, willing time to speed up and for her hair to age. Time could be tricky with ageing, she didn't want to grow it all out and get grey hairs!

All three girls gasped as the hair grew into long, luscious locks. Two's face looked completely different already, and she didn't look like a child of the lab anymore. Now, her hair framed her face as a free spirit, and it showed in the blazing smile on her face. 

"Does it... look good? It definitely feels good." Two murmured happily at her work. She wanted to turn to the mirror but Max stopped her with a tut tut sound. 

"NOT until we give your face a makeover too! And your clothes! I can't wait to completely give you a new look." Max and El quickly hooked Two's arms and dragged her to the other room where she wouldn't be able to peek at herself, while Joyce went to the shops with a chuckle after hearing the girl's instructions. 

Two hours later Will waited patiently -  as per the orders of El and Max - and nervously for Two to come out. Once the door opened, Will couldn't stop his blush as he took in a very confident Two, with her brand new perfectly coordinated outfit. 
"Well, what do you think?" Two asked. 

"I can't believe... " Will trailed off before continuing as Two winced - anticipating his negative reaction. 

"You look gorgeous" He finished with a grin, earing giggles from El and Max who were quite proud of their work. Two's hair was indeed lush, bushy and long. She wore denim shorts and a cream T-shirt that fit her frame, but also accentuated certain parts making Noah feel very hot in the room. 

"Thank you." Whispered Two. 

"I was uh, wondering. Would you like to go on a da-" Will began. 

"Kids, you're needed in the living room. We need to discuss... stuff. Umm. Two, you look nice." Hopper ordered, then disappeared quickly with a frown on his face. 

Two and Will sighed while Max and El groaned in disappointment. Sometimes it felt like the upside down and the lab would always be on Hopper's minds, which was good they supposed because he protected them. But couldn't they have any time to just be kids?

"Well, we should probably go." Two spoke, ending the awkward silence that seeped into the room.
