Familiar Faces in the Oddest Places

Pink

Sasha’s alarm woke me up too early for school. I grudgingly got out of bed and started getting ready for school. Sasha flitted around the room all cheerful as she got ready. There was no way I could ever muster up that much energy so early in the morning.

“This is going to be the best!” Sasha exclaimed as she was doing her makeup.

I smiled. “Yeah, today is going to be pretty amusing. I can’t wait to see Alistar’s reaction.”

“I know. It’s going to be so awesome.” Once we both were ready we headed downstairs for some breakfast before we headed off to school. Alistar was already down there eating a bowl of cereal. I sat down beside him.

“Hey Alistar,” I said.

“Hey, Sage,” he said once he had finished what was in his mouth.

“Can you pour me a bowl of cereal?” I asked. He had to do as I said but I figured this wouldn’t be much of a problem anyways.

“Yeah, one second.” He got up from the table and grabbed a bowl. He poured some cereal and milk in it and handed it to me with a spoon.

“Thanks,” I said giving him a kiss on his cheek.

“You’re welcome.”

Once we had finished breakfast, Alistar grabbed his keys ready to head out the door.

“Wait a minute,” I said looking over at Sasha who had the biggest smirk on her face.

“What?” Alistar said looking back at me.

“I have a surprise for you,” I said, “Sasha go get it, will you?”

“Hell yeah,” she said and ran up the stairs to go grab Alistar’s surprise.

“Close your eyes,” I told him.

“Really? This can’t be good.”

“Oh it will be good alright. Remember you have to do whatever I say, that was part of the deal,” I reminded him.

He grabbed onto my waist and pulled me close to him. “Do I really have to do whatever this surprise involves?” He leaned his head down his forehead resting on mine. His lips got closer and closer to my own before he softly placed them on mine. I enjoyed the moment.

“Yes you do,” I told him pulling away. “Now close your eyes.”

Sasha came running down the stair with Alistar’s surprise in hand. “Can I do the honors?” Sasha asked.

“Go right ahead,” I said.

“What are you guys doing?” Alistar asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry abou it.” I told him.

Sasha then shook the can in her hand and started spraying the hair dye onto Alistar’s hair.

“This is so great,” Sasha remarked.

“What the hell are you spraying?” Alistar said his eyes still closed.

“All done, it looks really nice,” Sasha complimented.

“Yeah nice job,” I said and we high-fived. “You can open your eyes now,” I told Alistar.

He did and then grabbed the can from Sasha. “Pink hair dye?” He exclaimed, his face was priceless.

“You dyed my hair pink! We have to go to school like now and you dyed my hair pink.” Boy did he seem upset.

“You have to do whatever I say and I want you to go to school with pink hair. Sasha helped me come up with the idea. She had some of the pink hair dye left over from Halloween. Isn’t that awesome?”
