Chapter 6~

 "Will you do my hair after Jolie's?" Miri asked, staring at me with huge eyes.

 "Of course. Do you know what style you want?" I asked as I finished perfecting Jolie's top-notch modelesque braid. She hopped up and ran over to the mirror on the left of Sam's door and squealed.

 "You made it pretty like your hair! Yay! Thank you, Sea!" Jolie threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly. My eyes widened in surprise, but I gently hugged her back.

 "You're welcome. Miri, are you next?" Miri nodded excitedly, and I handed Jolie her brush once she stopped spinning in circles.

 "I have to show Daddy! And Etoile! Especially Sam, he'll be jealous because he can never do it pretty like this!" Jolie giggled to herself before sliding her eyes over to me. She grinned. "I wish you'd do my hair every day from today!"

 I tilted my head back and laughed at how adorable she was. "I'm afraid I can't do it everyday, but if you can convince Sam to invite me over-" I stopped mid-sentence when Sam himself poked his dark head into the room, narrowing his eyes.

 "Oh, how terrific. Sea, you're already subconsciously succumbing to the devil's advocates," he groaned in a playful sigh. Jolie planted her hands on her tiny hips.

 "We're not devils! We're angels! Daddy says so," she informed him pointedly, "and Sea likes us. Look! She did my hair all pretty!"

 Sam smiled and walked into the room, picking his defensive little sister up and tossing her into the air before catching her. Jolie squealed in delight, forgiving him.

 Miri gently poked my wrist and batted her eyes. "Can you do my hair now, Sea?"

 I knew time was passing by faster than I gave it credit for, but there was no way I could resist that blue-green eyed pleading gaze. Miri cheered when she saw the submissive smile qirk my lips and eagerly hunkered down between my knees.

 "How do you want your hair again?" I asked her as I carefully pulled her hair out of its ponytail.

 "Hmm... just like Jolie's!" she decided. I nodded and got to work, continually checking the time as it got nearer and nearer to five o'clock.

 Sam carried Jolie to his bed and tossed her onto the bouncy mattress beore plunking down face-first with a loud 'WHOMPF'.

 "Where's Etoile?" Jolie asked him curiously, poking his cheek repeatedly. He grunted in response and I almost laughed out loud at her instantly exasperated expression that was aimed at her older brother.

 "Sam. Sam. Sam Sam Sam Sam SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!" she sang gradually getting louder and louder.

 "Etoile. Living room. Barbie movie," he finalled conceded.

 "SHE'S WATCHING BARBIE WITHOUT ME?!" Jolie screeched in shock.

 Sam nodded, his face still pressed against his bedspread. His sister all but lunged of his bed and zoomed out of the room, waving her little arms in the air and screaming, "WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?! ETOILE! WAIT FOR ME, I'M COMING! I LOVE RAPUNZEL BARBIE!"

 I cracked up, laughing breathlessly. Miri's shoulders slumped slightly.

 "Do you wanna go watch the movie with them?" I asked, pausing.

 She nodded slowly. "But I also want my hair pretty," she said forlornly.

 "How about, I put your hair up in a messy bun and you don't have to worry about it? That way, it's faster, still cute, and you can join them for the movie?" I suggested.
