S2E15: Haircut

Inside the school's hallway, the students were taking a break from their classes. The usual recess for the students for chatting, eating and drinking and doing their own activities.

Flash, one of Blazefist's Prefect Squadron, was doing his job as prefect. He has caught a student named Crimson Napalm. He was writing a report on him.

Crimson Napalm groaned, "Come on, man! Lay off! I mean, seriously, isn't it a bit too much?!"

"Sorry, dude. I'm just doing my job," Flash said seriously and firmly while writing down on his notepad. He then placed it on the student's shirt. He continued, "Please, make sure that you get a clean haircut. The last thing you need is Mr. Blazefist to come after you again."

Crimson Napalm scoffed, "You should look at the mirror before you say anything, dude."

Though irritated and annoyed by the comments, Flash remained calm and firm as he gestured the student to move along. Crimson Napalm grumbled and muttered angrily as he walked away from him.

"He does have the point, you know." The firm commanding voice spoke, alerting Flash to turn and found Blazefist stood before him. The prefect saluted firmly to him. He spoke calmly, "At ease, prefect."

"What can I do for you, sir?" Flash asked calmly and firmly.

"Nothing much, Sentry. Just need you to deal with your haircut, trooper," Blazefist said calmly, shocking Flash. He continued, "As the prefect, you need to be more professional and formal with both attire and appearance especially your haircut."

"You're kidding me, sir?"

"I'm dead serious, Sentry. As far as I'm concern with your appearance, you need to change your haircut. Otherwise, these students won't take you serious or even felt being unfair that you're the only one, who gets to keep this. The last thing we need is some complaints, making things more complicated and awkward."

Flash sighed in annoyance, "Fine. I'll change my haircut."

Blazefist smiled as he patted and ruffled the student's hair, "Good to hear, Prefect Sentry."

"How on earth can I get a cool and professional haircut?" Flash asked in concern.

"I'm sure you will figure it out," Blazefist said calmly. He turned back as he found three students working on something intriguing. He smiled, "I'm pretty sure your friends can help you out."

Flash turned to the front, where he found students were working on their hair. Shadow Dragon was putting some gel on his hair, making sure his is very sharp and good. Sunset was humming happily as she was brushing her hair happily and calmly. While looking at the magazine, Rarity was trying and making various kind of hairstyle that is suitable for herself.

Flash hummed thoughtfully, "You could be right. But which one who can help me out?"

If Flash chose Shadow Dragon...

After the school hours was over, Shadow Dragon and Flash heading out and walking down the Chinatown Street. They have arrived and entered his home - Tao's Antique Shop. They both were now at the study room, waiting for Mr . Tao to come out and help them out.

"Thanks for helping me out, man. I don't know who else I can count on to solve my problem." Flash thanked his best friend.

Shadow Dragon smiled proudly, "Hey, it's no problem. After all, we're friends."

"Cool, man." Flash said in relief. He hummed in uncertain while looking around of his surroundings, "Still, SD, wouldn't you just lend me your gel to fix my hair problem?"

"I could, but, I don't think this gel may work on you."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say that the gel I've been using is no ordinary gel. And it's not manufactured product also."

Flash gulped in concern, "I hate to ask. What kind of gel?"

"Magical Gel!" Mr. Tao's voice shouted as he and Mighty Heart arrived at study room. They also brought along couple of potions and ingredients on tray. He continued, "These gels have different kind of magic that makes your hair much more magical and special such as Shadow Dragon's hair being spikier and sharper as dragon's fangs."

Shadow Dragon smiled as he touched and patted his hair gently, "Yup. It sure is."

"So, why can't I use his? It would make me look good," Flash asked in confusion. Suddenly, Mr. Tao gave a whack on his forehead hard. He yelped in pain, "Ow! What was that for?!"

"The Dragon's Fang Gel is for Shadow Dragon only! If you use his, there is no telling what kind of side effects you might have! The last thing you ever want is you getting bald or worse, turned into a mutated dragon!" Mr. Tao scolded angrily and firmly. He sighed calmly, "That is why Mighty and I are gonna study your hair scalp, and mix with our potions and ingredients, hoping that we might get the right one. So, therefore, whatever you do..."

"Yeah?" Flash asked hopefully.

Mr. Tao screamed out loud, "DO NOT RUSH UNCLE WHEN HE'S WORKING!"

Flash yelped in fear while nodded in understanding. Shadow Dragon chuckled nervously and worriedly about it. Mr. Tao plucked and put few of hair strands into the small flask. Both he and Mighty began working and researching on his hair while experimenting and mixing up with the ingredients to get the right potion for magical gel. Once they get the potion, they then allowed him to use it on him.

Unfortunately, most of the magical gel that Flash used came with unfortunate side effects such as turning him into a lizard man, blown by the explosion, got hair on fire, attracted animals to chase after him and so on.

Flash groaned in frustration as he was calming himself down. He sighed, "I don't know if I can do this..."

"Just one more gel. I'm sure this one will be it," Shadow Dragon said confidently.

Flash sighed, "Somehow I doubt of it..."

Mr. Tao whacked Flash's head, "Do you want Mr. Tao fix your haircut problem? Yes?" Flash nodded uneasily and nervously. He then shouted while shoveling small bowl of the bluish gel, "Then, use this last one before uncle lose his temper again!"

Flash nodded fearfully and nervously. He turned and looked at the gel for the moment. He remained uneasy and worried. He turned and looked at Shadow Dragon, who confidently nodded in agreement. He sighed as he took and placed some on his hair. He then braced himself for the worst.

Instead, he felt gentle breeze and calm on his head. Flash smiled as he began gently scrubbing and making his hair smooth and gentle as much as he can. Two minutes have passed, Flash revealed his new haircut, which is smooth and straight spiky haircut. He hummed calmly while looking at the mirror.

"I like it. What do you think?" Flash asked.

Shadow Dragon smiled as he gave thumbs up, "That fits you well."

"Indeed. This gel is called 'Breeze Wind'. Fit for your hair and personality as being free and adaptable to changes. One more thing," Mr. Tao said firmly and calmly. Flash turned and looked at him. He shouted, "Do not doubt uncle again! Understand?!"

"Yes, sir! I will take good care of your gel. Promise!" Flash exclaimed fearfully as he kept the Breeze Wind Gel close to him. He sighed while looking at Shadow Dragon, "Is he always like this?"

Shadow Dragon laughed uneasily, "That's how he is. That's my dad..."

If Flash chose Rarity...

Rarity squealed happily, "This is perfecto! Truly perfecto!"

Rarity has brought Flash to the Casual Boutique when he asked for her help to solver his haircut problem.

Flash hummed in uncertainty, "I don't know, Rarity. You sure you know what you're doing. I mean you're fashionista. You work and design the dress, suits and costumes. Have you ever done with hairstyle or haircut before?"

"Darling, please!" Rarity scoffed as she pushed Flash towards the makeup drawer with mirror. She put him to sit down on his seat. She continued with pride, "I've done something I'm not very good like cleaning the whole house with bare hands, being superhero to fight off monsters and even dating a scientist boyfriend of mine, which kinda defy the logic."

"In other words, you'd never done it before?"

"Well, it's a first time to do. And don't worry, darling, I can handle it."

Still doubt and uncertain of Rarity's ability, Flash sighed in reluctance, "Fine. Just try not to make anything so embarrassing. I don't want to have a long braided hair. So not my type. Make sure it's spikier and awesome kind."

Rarity smirked, "Don't worry, darling. I've got this."

Rarity began working on Flash's haircut. She was cutting on his hair, putting some gel on it, blowing hairdryer on his and also messing and make-shifting with hair. She has make various types of haircuts for him - mohawk, mid taper, undercut, afro, comb over, slicked cut and so on. This annoyed and disappointed him a lot that none of them fit in him. He now has the buzz cut.

"What do you think?" Rarity asked.

Flash sighed, "Not good and awesome."

Rarity groaned in frustration as she slammed her head against the walls for couple of times, "This is so frustrating! Boys! What's up with ridiculous haircut?!"

Flash groaned, "I can hear that, Rarity. Don't you think the girls have ridiculous haircut too?"

Rarity gasped as she turned and glared at Flash, "Do not insult me of my hairstyle, mister! Girls are very sensitive and particular with hairstyle! You cannot just make a simple ponytail or even cut them to shorts. Who does that?! You need inspiration and idea to get the right haircut!" She gasped in realization, "IDEA!"

Flash gulped, "Oh boy! What are you-?!"

Flash yelped in fear as Rarity began working on his haircut by cutting, putting some gel and even messing his hair for the moment. Aftermath, Flash's hair is now smooth and straight spiky haircut. She turned him to face at the mirror.

"What do you think?" Rarity asked hopefully.

Flash hummed curiously, "I like it! That is so me! Thanks, Rarity. Sorry about doubting you."

Rarity smiled as she gave Flash a warm hug, "No worries, darling. It's what friends do. Plus, I do intend to win the hair-styling competition!"

Flash groaned in annoyance, "I should have know about this..."

If Flash chose Sunset...

After telling Sunset about his haircut problems, she agreed to help out Flash with it. They were walking down the Canterlot Town streets. They have arrived at the barber shop. They're now were waiting and sitting on seatig rows.

"Ah. So, why we are here?" Flash asked in confusion and uncertain, "I thought we're gonna solve my haircut problem?"

"Uh, yeah, we are." Sunset answered in confusion and uncertainty. Flash was confused. She continued, "What? You'd think I would give some magical potion or doing some kind of awesome haircut for you?"

Flash looked awkward and embarrassed by Sunset's question. He whistled innocently, "Maybe?"

Sunset sighed, "Flash, not everything needs magic to solve some everyday problems like doing chores, farming, fixing and maintenance, playing video games, cooking and so on." She then showed her small cuts and bruises on her hand. She continued, "I have the proof that I don't need magic to deal with everyday problems. But hey, I even get haircut from here too."

"Seriously? You get haircut from here?"

"Well, yeah. What? You think I did the crazy haircut on myself? Please! I'd having crazy haircut with crazy psycho looks. Or worse, getting bald or mohawk! I hate that! Plus, I'm sensitive with my beautiful hair."

Flash sighed as he patted on Sunset's hair, "You still beautiful. Even you might get a bad haircut."

Sunset scoffed as she nudged Flash's shoulder, "Very funny, funny man. Let's see if you get some bad haircut! And trust me, you're gonna get a cool haircut."

Touched and relieved by his girlfriend, Flash shrugged happily, "Well, I'll give it a shot. What's the worst could happen?"

"Don't worry. It would be good and best one," Sunset said calmly.

"Welcome to Iron Will's Haircut Shop! You've just come to right place for getting the best haircut in the world! Give the word, and Iron Will make the best haircut you need! No refunds if you don't like it! Make sure you get it right." The large blue muscular man with short dark navy mohawk and long hair wearing grayish singlet and black long pants, and apron. His voice shocked and scared Flash off for the moment. He approached and gave a friendly fist bump to Sunset. He smiled, "Good to see you, Sunset. Need a haircut?"

"Nope. Flash does," Sunset commented playfully.

Iron Will chuckled happily, "Don't you worry. Iron Will make the best haircut you ever seen!"

Flash gulped, "Somehow I'm gonna regret this one!"

Flash yelped in fear as Iron Will grabbed and put him on the chair. With the help of his assistants, he began working on his haircut by cutting, putting some gel and even messing his hair for the moment. Aftermath, Flash's hair is now smooth and straight spiky haircut. He then looked at the mirror.

Sunset whistled as she paid the money to Iron Will, "Nice work, Iron Will. Gotta say. It's the perfect masterpiece!"

Iron Will chuckled as he took the money, "Iron Will aim to please. Come back again."

Flash whistled while looking at the mirror, "Gotta say. This is so me. Thanks, Sunset."

Sunset smiled as she gave a nudge on his shoulder, "No problem. It's what girlfriend do. Just keep in mind."

Flash sighed amusingly, "Right. Not everything need magic to solve everyday problem."

Sunset smiled warmly, "Good boy."
