I walked through the Isle, my head down as to not bring attention to myself. I made it to a shop called 'Lady Tremaine's Curl Up and Dye'. The sign on the front door said it didn't open till midnight. I opened the door and entered anyway. When I entered the salon, I saw two girls sweeping in harmony, whirling around each other. I There was a dye station in the corner with bubbling liquids around it and mismatched old salon chairs. The two girls stopped sleeping and took of their headphones when they spotted me, "Sophia!" Amara exclaimed. Amara had bright red hair and black eyes. She was wearing a paint splattered dress with a tool belt around her waist. The toolbelt was filled with all sort of makeup items, much like Evie would have.

"Is Evie back too?" Dizzy asked. Dizzy had red hair like her cousin and blue eyes. She wore glasses as well as a paint splattered dress and apron.

"Evie, coming back to the isle?" I scoffed, "Sorry but no." Dizzy and Amara's face fell. "I forgot that your grandmother didn't open until midnight. Place looks great." Evie and Amara smiled again. "What is your grandmother's deal? Has she given you two any customers yet?"

"Sure has." Amara said with a nod, "But only a witch once in a blue moon."

"Mostly it's a lot of scrubbing and scouring and sweeping." Dizzy admitted, "Lots and lots of sweeping."

"Sounds like the old Cinderella treatment if you ask me." I commented.

"Yeah, she's gone from wicked stepmother to wicked grandmother." Dizzy and Amara glanced at the ceiling.

"That's not much of a switch." I started to walk around the shop until I was behind a chair, "Hey, you two used to do Evie's hair right?"

"Yeah, we were the ones to come up with the little braids." Amara explained.

"Got any ideas for me?" Dizzy and Amara looked at each other before walking up to me. Dizzy lifted a loc of my hair,

"The washed out blonde?" She asked, unimpressed, "The best of no worlds. You can't see where your face ends and your hair begins!" The two girls pulled me into a salon chair,

"What in Hades is this?" Amara exclaimed, looking at my nails, "Prissy Princess Pink?" Dizzy spun me around in the chair.

"How far can we go?" I clicked my tongue,

"The total works." I told them. "What I mean by that is do what makes me feel like me...but way worse than I was."

"Yes!" Amara cheered as Dizzy moved towards a table. Drisella's daughter picked up a pair of large scissors and snipped them twice before turning to me. I gave them a look that said, 'go for it'. The cousins did the works. I was leant over a tub while Dizzy dyed my hair. I had no idea what colour. She chopped of a lot of hair as well. As Dizzy put my hair in can curlers, Amara worked on my nails. She painted them an aqua that I was used to but added scale designs. When the duo were done, they spun me in my chair so I could see their hard work. Dizzy had dyed my hair a mix of blues and aqua's, where the dark blue started at my roots then faded into a teal. I stood up and inspected myself in the broken mirror's, chewing a piece of gum the girls had given me.

"There I am!"

"Voila!" Dizzy and Amara exclaimed.

"Voila." I agreed. I took out some money out of my back pocket and handed a note to each of the girls.

"For us?" Dizzy questioned,

"Yeah, you two deserve it." The two girls squealed and moved over to the old register.

"Fork it over, 'ya runts." I heard a voice say. I turned to see Harry Hook standing in the entrance of the salon. Dizzy and Amara reluctantly handed over the money I gave them. Harry tapped his hook on the car hood reception desk, "And the rest of it." Dizzy moved behind the register and opened it, handing the money to Harry who turned to leave,

"Are you still a lap dog for my sister?" I asked, Harry slowly turned to me, "Or do you get to keep the treats you steal."

"Well, well, well. What a nice surprise."

"Hey Harry."

"Just WAIT until Uma hears your back." Harry exclaimed. "She's never gonna give you back your old territory."

"Well, that's no problem, because I'm gonna take it back. He used his hook to push a piece of my hair off my shoulder.

"I could hurt you." I grabbed Harry's wrist, taking the price of gum out of my mouth and sticking it on the end of his hook.

"I don't think Uma would want that." Harry smirked and took the gum off his hook with his mouth as he turned. Harry swept the decorations off the car hood before giving me a mock bow and exiting.

"Great." Amara said sarcastically, "Even more sweeping."

"I'll help." I said. Dizzy and Amara looked shocked. "You learn a few things in Auradon." I shrugged, starting to pick up the fallen items, "Like helping your friends." The cousins squealed and both hugged my sides. I smiled and hugged them back.
