"Welcome to South Shields' hair, clothes and make up salon!" said a bouncy woman with about six layers of make up on. "We're having an open day, where everybody gets a makeover FREE if the stylists can do whatever they want!" said a man with a drawling geordie accent. They grabbed us and dragged us in. Flame squealed with excitement "You see, no one will ever recognise us if we get a makeover!" she cried. I laughed "Well done Flame" I said, ruffling her hair. "Let's see what we can do for you, little one!" said the bouncy women dragging Grim away. I went to go after him but Kane pulled me back "He'll be fine" he said with a smile "Let's go and look at the clothes"
We went over the clothes rack and started to browse. "Um..." I started nervously "Kane?" "Yes?" "Um, you know what happened at the premier inn? When I, um, kissed you?" "Yes" "Well, um, I'm sorry". Kane laughed "Well, that's fine. To be honest..." said Kane, he stopped browsing and held my hands "It, well, actually made me feel so much better after the fall". My heart jumped into high gear "Really?" Kane nodded "Really". Our foreheads touched and we looked into each other's eyes. Our lips were close... "Fauna! FaunaFaunaFaunaFaunaFauna!" I came away from Kane and looked at Grim "Look! Look Look!" Grim was now wearing a cameo jacket with a white T-shirt underneath which said 'bite me' on it. He had denim shorts that came down to his knees and white trainers. He also had some white streaks in his black hair. "Awesome!" I cried, bending down and hugging him "You look like such a cool little trooper!" I glanced at Kane. He gave me a some other time look. I nodded. "You're next!" cried the Geordie man enthusiastically, dragging Kane away. Grim ran off and I was left alone. I picked out a bat-wing top that said 'love' on it with a pink heart. I'm not that big on girly-girl colours, but there was something about this top that made me think of...
"Now you!" cried the woman "Ohh! Such a cool top! That'll look great with some jeans!" Then I was dragged to the dressing room. Some clothes were flung at me and I got changed into them. Jeans, the bat-wing top, a jacket with bright pink sleeves, trainers. Cool. When I came out, Kane was standing there. He was wearing jeans, a black jacket, some white trainers and a top that had a pink heart on it with the word 'you' written inside it. I looked down at my top. They were exactly the same! Me and Kane stood together, so the t-shirts said 'love you'. "Awww!" cried the woman "You look such a neat little couple!". We must have leapt 5ft away from each other. "Couple? No, no, no!" I said looking at Kane. He looked as embarrassed as me but I saw...was it...hurt? I saw hurt in his eyes. Hmmm...
We left the salon looking nothing like the scruffy kids that had first entered. Flame had jeans, black boots and a long-sleeved top that had 'cute' written on it. Monsoon had a new blue scarf, a blue t-shirt, trainers and some black trousers. "We look so cool!" cried Monsoon "Great idea, Flame!" he and Flame slapped high fives. I looked up at a sign. On of the labels was 'beach'. "Hey, guys" I said "How 'bout we go to the beach?". There was silence for a moment, but then a cheer. "The beach!" cried Grim "Yes yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!" So, using the sprits, wings and morphed eagle, we flew in the direction of the beach.
