Chapter 33 : Hairdryers and nail polish.

Kofi had learned to take a bath after following Domino's instructions, It felt so nice and relaxing. Though water wasn't scarce in Delvara, it wasn't clean and still somewhat hard to find. Plus, it barely ever rained as well.

If Kofi had water, clean or dirty she definitely wouldn't waste it pouring it on to her skin. It would end up dirty again so why bother? Her master however liked to ramble on about stuff like hygiene and cleanliness.

She didn't like it but her master did and she would use as little water as possible. But now, she was in a tub filled with water and it felt so luxurious. She'd gotten so comfortable, she'd fallen asleep in it.

She woke up in a daze as she got a bearing of her surroundings and heard knocking on her bathroom door. Peach's worried voice could be heard, " Kofi are you okay? You've been in there for about an hour now ".

Kofi instantly got up, the water trailing down her skin " I was out that long "? She thought she heard a sigh of relief as Peach laughed, " At least you're alright ". She quickly dried off and rapped a towel around her hair.

She marched into the living room happily, " That bath thing was amazing. I feel so relaxed ". Peach laughed, also in her towel " I'm glad you like it but try not to fall asleep in the tub again ".

Kofi laughed as she nodded, " I'll do my best. What else do you do before going out "? Peach walked up to her, touching the towel on her head, " We'll dry our hair and paint our nails ".

Kofi looked at her hands, head tilted to the side once more " Why would we do that "? Peach giggled, " Don't worry, you'll like it plus it'd make your hands prettier ". Kofi nodded, entering her room " Okay ".

Whiskers had wandered back into the room and was lying down on her bed, " This place is nice ". Kofi nodded, " Yeah, so we must enjoy it before it blows up ". Whiskers nodded, turning on his side and ignoring her.

" How exactly do I dry my hair Domino "? taking off the towel and looking in the dressing table mirror [ You use a hairdryer master. You bought more than enough at the mall the other day ]

A hairdryer appeared in her hand and she turned it over [ I bought this? ] " Why is it shaped like a gun? What if it blows my head off ". Whiskers groaned as he put his pointy ears down, " Will you just listen to the fancy computer "?

Kofi pouted as she raised it to her head and closed her eyes, " If you ever lie to me Domino, we are no longer friends and I will find a way to end you ". Domino was silent for a while [ We are friends? ] Kofi nodded as she turned it on, " Of course, plus you're super helpful ".

Kofi's face was met with hot air and she laughed to herself, " It works "! Whiskers groaned in frustration, his nap interrupted by the sound of the hairdryer. Kofi looked at him mischievously and suddenly chased him around with the hairdryer.

" Get that thing away from me "! Kofi laughed as she cornered him, pointing it at him " You'll love it. I promise ". With nowhere else to run to, Kofi put him in her lap and fluffed his hair gently.

Whiskers actually found himself enjoying it and his pink tongue fell out of his mouth. Kofi giggled, putting him aside " Told you you'd like it ". She finished drying her hair, still surprised by how dry it was.

She knocked on Peach's door and entered. She had one foot up on the dressing table, painting her nails. " You seemed to be having fun with hairdryer ". Kofi nodded, " Yeah, it's like a gun but blows only hot air ".

Peach laughed, wiggling her toes " Want me to paint yours "? Kofi nodded slowly, looking at the white nail polish on her toes " But I want mine to be black ". Peach nodded, opening the drawer " No problem " which seemed to be filled with different coloured nail polish.

Kofi was a bit surprised, " You must really like nail polish ". Peach laughed nervously, " I do, but my grandmother isn't a big fan of it so I'm not allowed to use it at home " [ Or anywhere else actually ]

Kofi nodded, sat down and put her hands on the table " Paint away then ". Peach nodded happily as she began painting, " I'm so happy I met you Kofi ". Kofi looked at her thoughtfully [ That's a first ] " Really "?

Peach nodded, " Yeah. And I apologize for the way I acted when you helped me at the orientation ". Kofi shrugged it off, " No big deal, we're friends anyways ". Peach smiled at her, " Yeah, we are ".

They ended up talking about the attack and ambush, complimenting each others battle style and completely lost track of the time. By the time they'd finished talking, it was already four thirty.

They gasped as they looked at each other, " We're gonna be late "! Kofi got up and ran to her room. She could hear Peach gasp as well, " What do I wear "? Kofi frowned slightly as she closed the door behind her, " That's a good question ".

[ If you wouldn't mind, I can style you master ] Kofi smiled, opening her door " Really? Then what do you recommend ". She'd learnt how to wear a bra with Whiskers help back in the hospital.

She laughed at herself, she'd wrapped it around her head thinking it was some sort of super soft helmet [ Thank goodness no one else saw that ]
