The Stylist

I sit down in the stands smiling when I see Holly. She puts her tower tea cakes down on the counter in front of her as her competitors do the same thing. The mirror screen turns on and Blondie's face appears "hello fans" Blondie says before winking "you're just in time for everyone's favorite spring fair event the spring chief showdown" she says making the crowd cheer "hey check this out" Ashlynn says handing Daring a book he opens it and I read over his shoulder "reading rhymes marking time to the topsy turvy mountain you climb" he reads aloud. I gasp as the spell takes hold of me. "These tower tea cakes are out of this kingdom," the judge says after trying Holly's food. The crowd cheers but I don't join in the judge then moves on to Raven's "wicked watermelon pops just the refreshing thing I need after tasting all these treats" he says taking a bight "that is good. Juicy. Sweat. Actually hot" he says before coughing he then runs off and I start laughing.

Back at the salon, I start cutting girl's hair in the worst ways once they see I've ruined their hair they run out the shop screaming. I rush after them with my scissors "wait I'm not down" I say grinning evilly I look for everyone else who's hair I can cut and I see Brair I smirk "care for a trim Briar?" I ask she shakes her head and backs away slowly. I smirk and rush off to find someone else. I creep over the bridge close to school approaching someone with long hair when a sudden wave of dullness washes over me and I feel nothing. I feel happiness return to my body as the land brightens up. I smile and rush back into the fair where I find Holly waiting for me. I hug her and tell her everything that happened and she explains that it was all Apple's fault but it wasn't really. She was under a spell just like I was and that we closed the only opening to wonderland. That's why I felt so dull and sad because all the wonder was gone but the wonderland kids opened the portal up and everything was better now. Holly smiles "what you say we enjoy the fiar together?" Holly says taking my hand I smile "I'd love that!" I say as we walk into the fair I stop her and pull her "let's go on the fairest wheel!" I say pulling her with me she stops me. "Um about that," she says "what?" I aks laughing "don't tell me you're suddenly afraid of heights" I laugh she shakes her head "you know what never mind let's go!" she says pulling me towards the fairest wheel. While in line someone tapes holly on the shoulder "sorry to bother you two but would you mind if I ride with you Apple is busy" Daring asks pointing at Apple who was stuffing her face with food. Holly and I laugh "of course Daring," I say Holly blushes and I wink at her.
