Five Nights and Reid Collide (TBP and FNAF fanfic)

Seeing Changes

* Miranda's POV *

We are all sitting in the front lounge just letting the TV fill up the silence in between our thoughts. It's only 7 and we are bored as hell. That's when Kimberly's phone rings.

Neil crawls behind me now and takes my hair and starts to play with it. Reid left his brush out, so Neil leans over to grab it off the floor; typical of Reid to leave it there; and he brushes out my hair. I smile and Kim smiles too as she watches her brother become a toddler as he plays with my colored hair.

"Well it's kind of late. I'm going to bed, but you two have fun." Kim says, standing up slowly. I nod and Neil scolds me for moving. He's attempting to French braid my hair but he is failing miserably. Kim decides to show him before she goes to bed.

I wear my hair in weird or unique styles, so after she finishes and Neil thinks he understands I show her what I do with the left over hair. I put it into a bun, so it is braided up against my head, yet there isn't any hanging off of it. Kim loves the look and tells me I have to try it on her sometime. I agree and she wanders off to bed.

Neil takes my hair down and tries it on his own. He fails but it still looks pretty--somehow. I have long hair that goes to the my hips. It is dark brunette like the boys', but I did something special to it color-wise.

I have long bangs that cover the left side of my face entirely, and they are dyed electric blue from the middle down to their tips. The rest of my hair is dyed in electric blue as well, first going from white to electric blue, then to dark royal on the last few inches and onto the tips.

The color starts at the end of my face, so there is still plenty of brunette to see. Neil is mesmerized by it; I can tell. I always wear it up in some way because it is so long, but he is a pain and begs me to leave it down.

After Neil fails at braiding and takes my hair down again he and I stand, and he takes me in for the first time since I got here, looking me over to see how I have changed.

Although they have been gone 100% of the time for 2 years, they left 5 years ago and I never saw them more than a few times in those years. The three years before these two years they came home more, but after their second album dropped they never came home. So even though they saw me sometimes, they still really never saw me enough to notice the changes.

5 years ago when they left I was way shorter that the boys. But now I stand just below their noses, and Neil hates it, but I love it! My hair is long and he loves how it fits my style with the color and the length of it. I have silver eyes, and Neil stares at them like they changed color since he's seen me last.

He compliments my piercings as well. I have many, and I got them to try and change myself, make myself completely different from the old me.

I have a small silver nose piercing that goes in between the ridge of my left nostril. My ears have very, very small gauges that I stick other earrings in; you can tell they are gages with the holes in them but they aren't big enough to be gaudy looking.

I have a plain, single bar in one ear, and a single barb wire styled one on the other. I have small studs on each ear and although I get looks from some people, all of my piercings are small and are not gaudy or gross. My most favorite piercing is a cross that is high on my ear, and it has a chain that comes down and hooks onto one of my studs. It looks really cool in my opinion. I also have a small blue stud under my lip for Reid and a green one next to it for Neil to match their eyes, but I don't tell him that part.

Although I have my back covered, Neil notices the large tattoo that peaks out over my shoulders. He asks what it is and I tell him, but I don't show him. I have angel wings on my back to cover up some things I never want anyone to see. It goes from the top of my shoulders all the way down to the top of my pelvic bone. It is huge and covers my whole back, making wearing dresses that reveal it enjoyable.

Neil asks about my other tattoos, I actually can show him them. I have the oldest and first TBP logo on my right arm and the new and more modern logo on left arm. I have Pioneer on my left wrist and Aspen on my right one for my horses. My other horse isn't left out however; I have Charra on my arm under the old TBP logo and Benny under the new TBP logo.

Neil really likes my tatts and my piercings, although I am sure he was shocked when he saw me the first night as I have changed greatly.

"Neil I know what you're thinking. When you left 5 years ago I was a different person. I was innocent like you were with your music. But just as you changed largely from your first album in the second, I have changed largely in my personality and style. And you guys keep saying you're colorful in your new album? I am colorful now!" I tell him.

He laughs and says "I was looking at your profile on Instagram. It is almost like you have changed to be just like us each time. Very country at first, to black leather and grit, and now you're colorful." I sigh when he gives me a suspicious look.

"You're right brotherman; I have been changing to be like you three. But it is cause I wanted too. And also, when I listened to your music as it changed, it changed me to be like you! I am not a copycat I promise."
