Shane: ***** Me!

Dash: I told you none of that this weekend!

Shane shook her head and braced herself for the onslaught of hair dye.

Dash sat back in the shampoo sink as Shane rinsed her hair. She heard a knocking on the front door and she ran up to let the person in. Shane approached the door and saw someone wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and their arms crossed. She felt a ping in her stomach and unlocked the door. The figure pushed past her and removed their hood.

Shane: Fairbanks?!?

Dana: Yeah…

Dana looked at the floor and kicked at one of the tiles.

Shane: Youve got split ends.

Dana looked up with a warning look. Shane moved in and placed a hand on Danas shoulder. Dana looked up with tears in her eyes and turned her head away.

Dana: Look, I promised Lara I would come, she made the appointment..so can we just get this over with.

Shane: Sure, were in the back.

Dana: We?

Shane: Long story….just take a seat in my chair while I rinse this dye out of my hair.

Dana and Shane moved to the back to see Dash emerge from the back room toweling her hair dry with Achilles limping out behind her. Shane looked down and laughed as Dana covered her mouth. Achilles had a small patch of green hair at the top of his head.

Dash: It worked!

Shane sat in the shampoo sink and Dash turned on the water. She closed her eyes and started giving instructions as Dana watched curiously.

Shane: Alright, use the shampoo in the yellow bottle.

Dash: Isnt there a shampoo girl to do this?

Shane: Stevie got let go…she made a clients hair fall out this morning….its a shame, you cant find good help these days.

Dash nodded and started rubbing Shanes head.

Shane: Mmmmm…this feels good.

Dash: Dont get any ideas…I told you..

Shane: Yeah, yeah, youre in the closet…I mean straight.

Dana cocked an eyebrow as she watched the two interact. She never knew Shane to be one to hang out with kids. And the fact that she was good at it was just eerie.

Dana: So how do you guys know each other?

Shane: Uhm…well…

Shane grabbed Dashs side out of Danas view. Dash continued to massage Shanes head and her hand relaxed on Dashs thigh. Shanes guard was down and it was over. Once you got you hands on her head…literally, she couldnt maintain control.

Shane: I uhm..

Dash: You know the usual…she tried to kill me..I kicked her *****, now she hangs out with me cause she has no friends other then Bette.

Dana: Uhm..okay…so youre the nose breaker?

Dash: In the flesh…

Dana: And you know Bette?

Dash nodded.

Dana: And you two met how?

Dash: At church.

Danas jaw dropped.

Dash: You must be Dana?

Danas jaw somehow dropped farther.

Dana: Howd you…

Dash: She was talking about you with Bette.

Dana blushed and Dash rinsed Shanes hair. Shane sat up and stretched. Dana covered her mouth and looked over at Shane with bulging eyes. Shane ran to the mirror. And checked her hair. She could see her tips had green on them and there were a few chunks that had green on them. Shane turned to Dash causing her to back away.

Dash: you said I could…

Shane stepped over to her and Dana watched in fear.

Shane: Nice job….you know…were looking far a new shampoo girl….
