Dieter's Brutal, Harsh, Emo Discovery

The Bridge

One day, after school, Dieter was dribbling his football on his way home, as he usually does. His daily route back from school includes passing by a bridge. Usually, nothing ever happens there, people walk underneath the bridge, maybe some pigeons, maybe someone sitting there. But this day, there was something going on there. Something....interesting. It was a group of cyber goths, dancing. Dieter was oh so shocked by this. To him, he just saw everything he had ever wanted to be. He felt as if his entire life flashed before his eyes.

He stood there watching them for a while, but then continued on his way back home. When he walked in through the door he took off his yeezys, and decided to pay a visit to the man in his attic.

He went up to the attic, and saw the man there, sitting and eating семечки.*

(*t/n "semechki"---russian for sunflower seed)

"Man! I just saw the craziest thing ever! There were people under the bridge dancing, they had like, these drippy pants and stuff, and were wearing cool masks and had this crazy hair!!!!" Dieter exclaimed! "I want to be just like that!" he said

The man coughed, and said "Those, are posers," "I'll show you what real goth looks like." The man struck a pose focused on the peace sign.

Dieter was stunned by the man's gothiness. He was in awe.

"Where do I start???"

"Well chap, we should start with dyeing your hair black."

"Okay!" Dieter said excitedly.

So, they went to a hair salon, where Dieter was going to get his hair dyed black.

So, they went on their way to the local hair salon.

They walked in the front door, and the bells made a chime to notify the staff of their arrival.

"Welcome!" said the woman behind the counter.

"Uhh sir, you can't bring pets into the building." said the woman.

"This is my emotional support crow, miss" said the man.

"Oh well, that's alright then I suppose" replied the woman, "take a seat right over there, one of our hairdressers will be with you soon."

Dieter and the man took a seat in the waiting area and waited.

Dieter was a tad bit nervous. He had never dyed his hair before. And black, so different from his natural ginger hair color! He'd heard of how ginger hair is quite rare, and you should preserve it.. Was this step to gothiness really what he wanted?...

Just then, as he was debating whether this decision was the right one, a woman called him over to the hair cutting area.

Dieter sat down in the chair, and the woman asked him " So what would you like done today?"

"I would like to just dye it black." replied Dieter.

"Alright" said the woman, and got to dying.

About an hour later, the hair transformation was done.

Dieter saw himself in the mirror, and he was awestruck with his new cut.

He loved it.

He looked like he was transforming into his truest, innermost self. He was filled with happiness.

He walked back to the waiting area, and the man said "You look much more like a real goth already chap!"

Dieter was elated. This was the start of this goth goth journey.

They walked back to Dieter's house, and the man went back into hiding out in the attic, and Dieter went and looked at himself in the mirror. He was still amazed at his new look. He heard the door open, his adoptive father, Tenma, was home.
