“Hey, please don’t call me Mikey, I have a rep to uphold. It’s Mike.” Michael says.

“Sorry, Mike.” Tina says and smiles. “Come on, let’s go home.” Tina says. They enter the car and drive toward home.

“Are you staying for dinner?” Megan asks.
”Yes I am.” Tina says.

“Cool. Can I play with your hair? I want to be a hairdresser when I grow up.” Megan asks.

“Sure.” Tina says and smiles.

“So, Mike, how’s school?” Tina asks.

“Same ol’, same ol’.” He replies.

“And what is that? Boring, cool, funny, hell?” Tina asks.

“A mix of all four.” He replies.

“What’s hell about it?” She asks.

“The homework.” Her replies.

Tina smiles as she pulls into the driveway of their house now soon also hers again. They get out of the car and hurries inside. Tina follows closely.

“Thank you Christina, for getting them.” Her mother says.

“It was my pleasure mom.” Tina replies. “How long till dinner?” Tina asks.

“About two hours, when your father gets home from work.” Her mother says.

“Okay.” Tina replies as Megan comes in.

“Christina, come play now?” Megan asks.

“Sure.” Tina replies. Megan turns and runs into the living room again.

“You’re gonna play?” Her mother asks.

“Yeah, she asked if she could do my hair. She said she wants to be a hairdresser when she grows up.” Tina says and smiles as she turns and follows Megan into the living room.

Megan has put up her little hair studio with a small chair so Tina can sit while Megan stands behind her and work.

“So, how do you want it?” Megan asks.

“I’ll leave that up to you Meg. You can do whatever, except cut and colour.” Tina says and smiles at her little sister.

“Can I?” She asks.

“Yes.” Tina replies with a little chuckle at her little sister’s enthusiasm.

Their mother came in to join them with drinks and a few cookies.

“You don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into Christina.” Her mother says and smiles as she takes a seat across from them on the couch.

“I think it’ll be good, right Meg?” Tina asks.

“Yeah, you will look like a princess.” Megan replies with a beaming smile.

Megan has started to pin Tina’s shoulder length hair up with a lot of hairpins.
