Niki has been very distant lately. She's been ignoring me for long periods of time and would run away and hide whenever I tried to speak to her. She seemed to almost be afraid of me for some reason. Today she was busy with many customers so I decided to get in line to catch her off guard. Walking up to the counter, she looked panicked.

'What the hell?' I ask in a slightly angry tone, uncaring for those who hear.
'If you not going to buy anything go into the back and I'll talk later' she says in a forced calm tone whilst waving over the next person in line.
I walk round the counter staring at her all the way to make sure she doesn't disappear from my sights again.
After staring at her for what seemed to be an hour or so, she delivered her last bouquet and closed up shop.

'Niki what the hell?' I exclaim in the same angry tone
She sighs and gives me a tired smile

'you better explain right away' I start to shout, tears pricking at my eyes 'you better explain right now or I'll, I'll, I'll never speak to you again!' I scream through now blurry eyes

'that'd be for the best but I can't exactly say I'd enjoy that' she said her smile falling
'y/n, I'm going to apply for the army. I've trained just enough to keep my body healthy and ready for fighting. I've been trying to ignore you so you might happen to do the same and forget me if anything... Happens. Seems that didn't work out' she chuckles

I process the information 'OK' I simply reply
'pardon?' she seems confused
'OK, go to the army, but don't think I won't help you.' I think of ways I could help her get in.
'let me cut your hair, or style it maybe, I can try'
'pardon?' she's confused again
'to make you look more like a guy, then you could play off being a man.'
She hums in thought
'alright let's cut it' I didn't expect her to allow me to do that
'alright ill get the scissors' I say smiling, Niki never let me do her hair, she always had it down or in buns she made herself.
I started cutting it into a Bob first. Then shortened it to a pixie cut. I heated a iron rod I kept upstairs and carefully placed her hair on it as to not burn it. I curled her hair around the rod and them messed it up a little to give it a fluffy look. She looked amazing.

'and we're done!' She looked in the mirror with a calm straight face 'I love it' she smiled relieving my nerves'wonderful! Now you'll need a name and identity'We spent a couple of hours creating a persona for her
