Make-up, hair, booze, pillow fights and sex talk. Dhara had a feeling things could get really out of hand. She pulled her snowy white locks in to a messy bun, and the simple action caused a thought to cross her mind. She didn't know any thing about make up. After all, lip liner and eye liner looked like the same dang thing to her. However, she did know about hair. At least as far as some basic styles went. And, of course, hair color.

Dhara's hair had been auburn and pink when she came to this city. Then it had been sky blue and purple streaked. And over Christmas it was snowy white with streaks of red. Now the snow white locks had a single, two inch wide streak of royal blue. And that was just in the few months since she'd come here. Her hair had been a veritable rainbow of color and she liked it that way. She flashed a grin at both women, a smile that could be considered mischievous. Or maybe devious. Perhaps a little bit of both. If these two women wanted to paint her face, she wanted to pain their hair in return.

She sat up a little straighter in her seat and looked at them both. They were both blonde and fair of skin. Well heck, all the women in this room were fair skinned. Dhara couldn't even remember what her natural hair color was. But that was beside the point. The two women had hair that was just prime for coloring. She could literally do a rainbow on each of them and their flaxen locks would take the color and lock it in. Her eyes roved from one woman to the other, back and forth as the wheels turned in her mind. She sipped her coffee and nodded, a half smile still curving her lips.

"Alright... I think I can do this girls night thing. And I'll even let you two put make-up on me. But there's one condition. You both have to let me color your hair." She held up a hand and her smile grew, "Doesn't have to be all over. Just a streak or three. But if you're gonna put cosmetics on me, something I've never tried, then you two have to try a color you've never done before."

The fact that Skylar had had the cosmetics tattooed was a concept lost on Aliyah as she imagined having the same look every single day. While it was a pain to have to do her makeup every night without the use of a mirror, she had mastered the art while still human and so had never needed to worry about whether or not it looked good. It gave her freedom to do different colors and looks every night, and she liked the flexibility. Tattooed cosmetics would grow old, no doubt. But then, if she never saw it, she could never really grow tired of it. Maybe it wasn't such a far-fetched idea after all.

"I have all that we will need to do the make-up, easy. We will bring out your natural beauty with only some subtle hints of the makeup. Nothing too crazy," she commented to Dhara with a bright smile, momentarily ignoring the mention of hair dye. But once the words were out of her mouth, she suddenly realized what she might have agreed to. Never, in all her life, had she dyed her hair. The blonde was all natural, and the most she had ever done was cut it. The mere idea of a bright and obnoxious color made her wince.

Her eyes found her friend and they narrowed, "What kind of colors are we talking here?" The question was hesitant as she looked from Dhara to Skylar. There was no doubt in her mind that the other blonde would have no problem with dying her hair any color in the world. She was open to things like this. And now they had stumbled on the one thing that Aliyah was actually conservative about. Go figure.

In the end, she knew she would end up doing it. If the other two were gonna dye their hair, they would end up convincing her to do the same. Damn them. Damn them both.

I’m swallowing a mouthful of jack when Dhara delivers her condition and damn near spit it out. She can’t be serious. While I’m not opposed to augmenting my appearance in that way it’s ******* Valentine’s weekend and I have no plans of spending it with bright orange hair or whatever it was she was planning. I choke back the alcohol in my mouth and quickly gulp down a second mouthful. I wanted to be drunker before I explained my plans for this weekend. Not really sure why? Just seemed easier.
“I…”
I go to object but Ali’s talking, so I fall silent. The atmosphere in the apartment has changed. Who’d of thought that one little girl’s night could be so much trouble? I sure as **** didn’t I’d never have suggested it otherwise. Any other day of the week I’d be up for this but I’m pretty sure Ric’s gonna call the whole thing off if he has to go hunting with someone who stands out like the neon sign of some crappy motel on a darkened highway.
“It’s gotta be wash in wash out. I can’t be dealing with any permanent ****. I’m going away tomorrow with Ricky. We’re spending the weekend in a cabin in the woods. He’s taking me hunting. Or I’m taking him. I dunno. It was my suggestion but the activity is for him… Obviously. It’s the only way I could think of to get him to agree to spend Valentine’s with me. I can’t go hunting with DayGlo pink hair or anything. He’d ******* kill me if I turned up like that. Whatever we do has to be able to be washed out… tonight… Ain’t no way in hell I’m turning up in that cabin with any other hair colour but my own.”
Okay. Maybe I need to calm down a bit. I’m probably overreacting but if I am, I blame them. Both of them. Their nerves are making me a wreck. This power is still hit and miss but with only two people around, two people exhibiting the same kind of emotions, it’s pretty difficult not to recognise and be effected by it.
“Sorry. Minor freak out.”
I down the rest of my drink and pour myself a fresh one. This weekend is pretty important to me and I’m not going to do anything to jeopardise it. Putting make-up on Dhara isn’t worth sacrificing my happiness for. My lucks pretty shitty as it is at times, so even if we use some cheap wash in, wash out crap, my blonde hair will likely retain remnants of it. I really don’t want to spend the first ever Valentine’s day that I’m looking forward to, obsessing over my shitty hair.

She stared at Skylar, shocked in to silence. To say she felt the woman's reaction was out of proportion wouldn't even come close to covering how Dhara felt. Once more her fingers tangled in her white hair and she simply stared at the blonde. Her reaction was, frankly, down right hostile and more than a little insulting. She seemed almost angry at the suggestion and the tiny human had nothing to say in the face of that. Her eyes swung from Skylar to Ali, as if trying to gauge the other woman's reaction to the outburst.

Her gaze dropped from Ali's and she tugged her long black skirt down, hiding her bare toes. She was fidgeting and really wishing she could be any where else right now. She'd even take being at work with Levi's attitude to sitting on her couch right now. She was uncomfortable to say the least, she knew it, she bet the other two knew it by the way her heart stuttered slightly when Skylar had raised her voice. Dhara didn't do well when people got loud. She watched quietly as Skylar poured another drink, thinking to herself that it probably wasn't a good idea. Her gaze once more lifted to Ali's in complete silence before her lashes dropped once more and hid the amber orbs, leaving the girl staring in to her coffee cup in complete silence.

As soon as Skylar had her little outburst, Aliyah's blue eyes widened in absolute shock. There were few times that she had ever seen Skylar is any mood other than bubbly and happy, but this was quite the opposite. While she didn't appear outright rude about it, there was a feeling of hostility about the idea. It was only a little bit of color, there were worse things that Dhara could have suggested, that was for sure. And it was obvious how Skylar's freakout made D feel, from the constant movement and fidgeting that was going on.

With a small sigh, Ali looked at Skylar and frowned, "Hey, chill out. I am blonde, too, and I don't want bright pink hair the rest of my life. So...let's make a deal..." she began, looking over at Dhara so that she could either agree or disagree with the plan. She was the one doing the dye job, after all. "You can do a strip or two in my hair, where ever you want. For Skylar, you do one, and put it on the bottom layer, so it's easy to hide and the only time someone would really notice is if her hair is up. Fair?"

Her attention shifted between both women, eyebrows raising. She was not the type to usually be the mediator of arguments, or the one to find compromises. This was a new area, unexplored. Whether the two of them could agree with the it would be seen soon enough, but the sooner they could agree on something and get it over with, the quicker they could move on to something different and entertaining. Like putting makeup on Dhara.

Dhara's staring at me like I just shot a puppy or something. I dunno. I'm not really sure what the emotion is she's holding on to at this point. All I did was explain myself. I didn't get angry. I didn't raise my voice. All I did was get nervous and talk a little too quickly. That's nothing new though. If I talk too much, chances are I'm also talking too quickly too. It's just who I am. I'm pretty sure my language wasn't overly colourful either. Not that, that means anything. I swear all the goddamn time. Nothing new there. I use expletives like conjunctions and as adjectives and stuff. Hell. I probably use it as verbal punctuation even. Nothing wrong with that. At least I don't think there is.
I start to feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure why. I've not done anything wrong.
Confusion takes over as Ali starts talking. This emotion is all me and I know it. Chill out? Why? What did I do? I look at Ali like she's lost her damn mind. These girls were making me nervous and twitchy. That's not me. About the only time I remember really being nervous, or anything close to it, was the night Ric took me to a family party for the first time. I mean I don't usually care for what people think of me or anything. But that night was kind of important; even if Ric didn't realise it at the time. I was fine though once he let me change out of the stupid, ******* dress I'd bought for that evening. The damn thing made me twitchy. Uncomfortable in my own skin. I'd of been less nervous going naked than in that dress.
"I'm not sure why I need to chill out?"
I shrug.
Confusion's about all I feel at this point. Well I still the vibes about me but I try and concentrate on me. Just me. What I'm feeling. My emotions. Me. Sounds narcissistic I know, but it's about the only way for me to know what's mine and what's theirs.
"I'm allowed to panic about pissing Ric off. I mean you know what he's like. Any other night of the week I'd let you guys dye my hair like a friggin' rainbow but this weekend is kinda important to me. I mean I've told Ric it's no big deal but that's because I'm not sure he'd go if he realised how important to me this was. I don't like putting pressure on him. He doesn't need it. And well... I've never spent Valentine's with a guy before. Well not one that isn't Dillon. But he and I never dated. I usually hang out with whichever of the lads is single and dateless. Which was all of them a few years back. Damn if that night ain't hazy."
I catch myself rambling again and go quiet. I think the nerves crept back in. Mine. Not there's. I'm still focusing on me.
I look down at my freshly poured drink.
**** it.
I decide to down this one and pour myself another. I'm no good at this girly ****. I'm in uncharted territory when it comes to all this romance ********. That's probably why I wanted to go hunting. I don't need flowers and candy. I just want to spend some time with him. Alone. No distractions. But even that desire is still new to me.
****.
When did I become that girl? No wonder my diary looks like it's written by some love sick teenager. I could ******* strangle Ric.
I need to stop worrying.
I try to push the feelings away by commenting on Ali's strip suggestion.
"Or you guys can wait till Monday night to die my hair. Then you can pretty much do what you like colour wise."

Her eyes moved between Ali and Skylar as both women spoke their piece. Who would have thought that a simple suggestion would cause so many issues. Had either of them never heard of hair chalk? Or temporary dye? She looked down at her coffee cup and drew a breath, sipping the dark brew while she thought about the situation. The situation, frankly, sucked. Skylar was drinking like a fish, and Dhara had no idea if the alcohol would affect her, but it made her uncomfortable. Not that she would mention it. Not that she would mention any thing else. She was already uneasy with the idea of the night, and this wasn't helping.

She pried a hand off her cup and pushed her hair back. "It's fine. I can just do Ali if she is willing." She said it softly, but loud enough to carry. With that simple statement, she pushed off her spot and vanished once more in to her room. If she was going to do Ali's hair, she wanted to find her supplies, including the chalk so Ali could decide how permanent she wanted it and what color she wanted as well.

It was obvious that Skylar was putting far too much thought into the weekend with Roderic, since Ali highly doubted Ric would have an opinion on a strip of color in the woman's blonde locks. But, her relationship with Ric was limited, and she knew little about him. So, perhaps Skylar was right to feel the way she did, but Ali couldn't say for sure. And rather than argue the point, she looked at Dhara and offered the woman a reassuring smile. Dhara was easy to make uncomfortable, and this had probably set her off.

"Dhara, you can put a few strips in my hair, but not the whole thing. And it better be a good color, no ugly. I happen to enjoy my hair the way it is, and I want to to return to that way eventually," she teased, pulling her head up into a ponytail, while leaving some down for Dhara to color. Perhaps Skylar would help apply it, if she wouldn't be taking part. If she didn't keep drinking at that rate, because the girl could only hold her liquor for so long before it hit her, hard.

Thinking it might be best to do the dye work in the bathroom, she stood from her chair with her coffee in hand, smiling at the two women with her, "We can do Sky's hair on Monday, if she is still okay with it, and do mine now. No big deal. But, I have a feeling it will be a tad messy, so we might want to move this party to the bathroom. And while my hair is setting, we can do D's makeup."[/i]

Rather than waiting for both of them to comment, she moved to the bathroom to wait. If they chose not to follow, that was their business, but it would end up being a rather shitty end to the very beginning of their girl's night.

My plea for whatever they do to be wash in, wash out will still apply on Monday. Though it won't be such a big deal then. I don't care if it lasts a few hours, days or weeks then but I don't ever do anything permanent. Not to my hair. My skin. Now that's different. I love my tatts and I'm determined to have the colour in the next one; cos there will be a next one.
I snatch up my drink - after refilling it - and follow Ali to the bathroom. I could just drink from the bottle since I'm drinking the JD neat but I do prefer to drink it form a glass. I mean... well... there's no-one here that I want to piss off with my bad habits. Cos yeah. I do that at times. That's the good thing about having manners actually. You can decide whether or not you want to use them. And sometimes I don't.
Glass in hand I lean against the door jamb of the bathroom. I'm not really sure what to expect at this point. Hair dying takes time. We should have picked a movie and like set up snacks for Daria and me. Though if this is what the girls wanna do that's fine. I might be able to sit still longer if I get a few more drinks in me first.
"You guys can do what you like come Monday. I just really can't go hunting with dyed hair."
The girls seem somewhat calmer. If they aren't, then well, maybe the alcohol is starting to nub my superpower. That might not be such a bad thing. That or I could be actively tuning them out? Am I? I'm not even sure I can do that. I probably should practice. Or ask Elliot. Or both.
