It was a quiet and oddly peaceful day at the Ranger Ranch. The criminals were safely in their cells, probably thinking of an escape plan.. but don't fret! Shelly is there to make sure they don't go anywhere!

Shelly was in her cabin, drinking some tea. Her trusty shotgun laid in the corner, shined and polished up like always. Shelly quite enjoyed being a ranger. It had plenty of action, like shooting Sam and Belle and dodging Pearl's burning cookies. But what she didn't know, was that Shelly's life was about to change forever.

Suddenly, Shelly heard horse hooves hitting the ground in the distance. Someone was coming. She quickly grabbed her shotgun, loaded it up and stormed outside. But what she saw was so much worse than she thought.
She expected a criminal, a crook or a hoodlum! But no... it was a..

Elegant redhaired man who seemed like a true idiot. The man jumped off his horse and took out a comb. Then, he started to excessively comb his hair. After that, he took out a mirror, checked himself and THEN introduced himself.

"Hey! I'm Colt, your NEW co-ranger!"

Shelly was at a loss of words. I mean, seriously?! A man who looks like he cares more about his LOOKS than ever having a job now unexpectedly shows up in Ranger Ranch, talking about him being a new RANGER?! Not gonna happen.

"OK, listen, Colt. I just need you to know that you are NOT good enough to be a ranger. I mean, come on. Judging how much you take care of your pile of hair over there, I already KNOW you won't take your job seriously." Shelly said to Colt.

Colt, quite surprised by the "warm" welcome, just replied:
"Hey! I'll just let you know that hair is important! I can't STAND ugly hair. And, I think i'm good enough to be a ranger! Well, maybe not EXCATLY a ranger, but a sheriff! With a big, nice shiny badge!"

Then, Colt took out his revolvers.
"I can also shoot guns! Pretty impressive, right? Come on, you gotta let me be a sheriff!"

Shelly just sighed and replied "Fine. But DON'T get in my way. And when a bad guy breaks loose, I expect you to take care of THEM, not your hair."

"Hey! Like I said, lady, Hair.Is.Important." Colt said back.

"I'm no lady! My name's Shelly. I hope you'll remember it."

"Got it, lad- I mean Shelly!"

Shelly sighed. "Come on, I'll show you around.
