Fire and Ice

Ch.3 "What in the blazes happened to my hair?!"

<Fiora's POV>

"You froze the blazin volcano of sacred spirits!" Fiora yelled. "NEVER in my whole life have I seen anything like that!"

"Calm down, Fi" Ami said.

"Don't tell me to calm down! He froze the blazin volcano of sacred spirits!"

"Who are you talking to?" Ren asked.

"Does it matter?" Fiora snapped. "You. FROZE. The. Volcano. Of. Sacred. Spirits!"

"Take a chill pill! All you have do is melt it down again!" Ren yelled back, losing his composure for a moment "I'm out of here," He said, backing away down the volcano steps.

"Oh no, you aren't going anywhere," Fiora said, hair flaming up, like sparkly fire? Ren turned around. "What in the name of strawberry frosting?!"He yelled, taking in the scene before him. "I thought faeries were supposed to be goody-two-shoe-party-pooper-suck-ups!" He blanched.

Fiora had set the whole volcano around them on fire.

<Ren's POV>

"What the heck?! I can't stand the heat! I'm an ICE daemon! Are you trying to make me melt or something?!" I yelled. "That would be a delightful side effect but no I'm trying to melt YOUR ice" "But that wasn't me!" "Yes you shot the volcano with ice," she said pointedly. "No I shot the marshmallow! Unlike you I can control my magic," "You FROZE the volcano of sacred spirits!" "Well it's melted now so everything is fine." I shot back. "Don't you ever do that again, or you will have bigger problems than burnt marshmallows and melted finger tips. Now I'm going to have to wash my hair," Fiora said, turning her back and flying away as her hair gave off smoke and cooled down.

I stepped out of Princess Jewele's palace. Somehow she found out about this morning. I wonder how. No prizes for guessing who. I walked quietly into Fiora's house. I was going to get my revenge.

I opened the door slowly and stepped inside. 'Good, she's sleeping' I though as I stepped slowly towards her bed. I wouldn't need to even turn on the light. Her hair was glowing bright enough for me to see.

*CREAK* I stopped quickly glancing at her to make sure she was still asleep. Good. I kept going I reached her bed and took a bottle out of my pocket.

I squirted some of the liquid onto my hand and rubbed my hands together. Then I ran my hand down her hair. It singed my fingers, but it would be worth it. 5 minutes passed. Her hair started to glow even brighter, then the light faded, and her hair had turned puke green with streaks of brown. I laughed to myself and slipped into my bed, creating a protective ice shield around me.

<Fiora's POV>

"AHHHHH!" Fiora screamed as she looked into the mirror the next morning. "WHAT IN THE BLAZES HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?! ITS GREEN!" Fiora freaked out. This had never happened before. It wasn't even flaming, and she was fuming mad and terrified at the same time!

Fiora heard a soft chuckle coming from behind her, and just caught a glimpse of Ren sneaking out of her window.

"HOW COULD HE?!" Fiora raved to Ami. "My poor, poor hair! I'll be a laughing stock! Who's ever heard of a fire faerie with green hair? I look like a nature talent!"

"I thought you always wanted to be a nature talent," Ami pointed out. "I don't see the problem."

"The problem? THE PROBLEM?! REN. MADE. MY. HAIR. GREEN! I'm not a nature talent, I'm a fire user! I don't believe this! Look! I can't even my hair go up in flames anymore!"

"I thought you hated that part of your hair- you're always complaining about how much trouble it is to look after it," Ami glanced at Fiora, and seeing her furious face, she softened. "Okay then, let's go to the healer talents and see what they can do..."

<Ren's POV>

"Hah, that'll teach her to dob me in," I said laughing to myself. After I had climbed out of the window, I had returned to the lake to draw. I just had a great idea for the final part of the prank. I instantly stood up and put the sketchbook into my hoodie pocket. What? I enchanted the pockets to be never-ending. Using illegal spells of course.

I sprinted to Fiora's house and checked inside. 'Good she's not home,' I thought. I went to the bathroom and picked up her toothbrush. I then ice enchanted it so that when she used it, the tiny magic circle I had drawn (can't be seen without proper incantations) would become active and then whenever she opened her mouth ice would pour out of it.

I could hear stomping feet and loud yelling. I leaned against the wall. "He is just so infuriating!" the door opened and Fiora stepped through. "YOU!" "Me? I didn't know you were looking for me Cupcake," "I had to spend 3 HOURS this morning undoing your prank yesterday!" She said jabbing her finger into my chest.

"Someone's getting away close," I said looking down at her" "Oh shut up," She stomped into the bathroom and I could hear the sink. I glanced at the red draegon who was staring at me with big adorable eyes. 'Sparky' his collar said. How original.

"Shh, it's our secret," I told him as screaming erupted from the bathroom.

I started to sprint to the door when I was tackled from behind. I hit the floor, but I quickly rolled over so I was on top of my attacker. "What's the matter Cupcake?" She opened her mouth to speak but quickly shut it when a snowflake had come out of it.

"Are you sorry for dobbing me in?" she nodded quickly and I put my finger on her lips, tracing along the middle while saying "I undo the spell, on little miss Cupcake," I stood up. "There you go," "I am going to murder you!" "Aww but what would your princess think? I'll have you know we had a lovely chat this morning," "What did you do?!" "I didn't do anything Cupcake, although she does seem quite fond of me," I said winking at Fiora. "You flirted with her didn't you!" "Did I? I call it making her acquaintance," I said ruffling Fiora's hair.

She stood up and brushed herself off. "By the way, we have another mission tomorrow," I said. "And what would that be?" "We have to scout the haunted caves and clear it of monsters,"

'Finally, my kind of mission!'
