A pink pony with auburn hair is waiting at the door to greet customers. "Come to Amberlocks' Salon," she calls into the street. "We'll find the style y'all were born ta wear!"

A flutter suddenly staggered in, shelding her eyes from the bright sunlight. She blinked, then breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, realizing for the first time where she was. She ran a hoof through her mane and decided that she might as well get a new hair do, since she had gone in. "Excuse me, but may I have a hair do?" Suddenly realizing something she blushed and sheepishly muttered- "Oops.... I don't have any money. Never mind, I guess...."

((Wheee! I'm on this board, so I'm an administrator! Look at all those shiny stars!))
Amber turned from the white pony she was helping((see Tobe makeover thread)), and leapt towrds the door as Nova turned to go. "NO! Wait! I mean, I'd be glad to give ya a free hairstyle!" She regained her composure a bit. "I mean, it's great for advertisin'! I guess you could say it's like a lion paintin' mice purple instead of eatin' them!"

The flutter suddenly looked delighted and sat down in one of the chairs. "I guess you'd say it's like a lion paintin mice purple instead of eating them!" She then looked very confused. "Where would a lion get purple paint?"

Amber just laughed. "Well, aren't ya just the funniest thing I ever did see!" "Anyhow, I don't think ya need a rinse, so I'm thinkin' of givin' ya a nice hairdo to accentuate those pretty little wings of yours! Hmm...I think you would look good with..." The pink pony paused to rummage through a trunk next to her. "...Ah - yes - some nice white and gold ribbons!" Amberlocks paused to admire the very sparkly ribbons that would soon be streaming down through the flutter's hair. "Don't ya just love how they catch the sunlight?"

The flutter stared at the ribbons a moment, then, as the sunlight was reflected into her eyes, gave a shriek and turned away. "Too bright! Too bright!" She shouted, burying her head in her arms. She slowly recovered, looked up and sheepishly said "Um, do you think I could just have something a bit..... less shiny?"

"Of course, darlin'", Amber said kindly. She was a bit reminded of a mole creature by the mare's reaction to light. Amber, ya've got to stop watching those late-night horror flicks! Still, she wondered sympathetically if the flutter twice-as-fancy was insane. Even if she was, business was business. Amber really liked the coloring of the ribbon, and couldn't think of anything else that wouldn't clash. Then she had a stroke of genius. The stylist got out a layer of silky, delicate lace ribbon and wound it thinly around the hair accessory she had already picked out. Now it still glittered, but the shiny factor was toned down. Plus, Amber thought the layering affect made it look even better than before. "How's this, hon?", she asked, still speaking softly to the "insane" pony. Then a thought struck her - if the mare was insane, what if she was also homeless? That just wouldn't do! As the pink pony was allowing the darkly-colored flutter to carefully examine the modified accessory, she asked as casually as she could, "So...where are ya stayin', darlin'?"

"How's this, hon?" "Ohhh..." Novaluna stared at the ribbon and her face lit up. "It's beautiful!" She said happily. "Sooooo...... where are ya stayin' darlin'?" NovaLuna looked up from the ribbons and said brightly- "Oh, I don't know yet. See, I crash landed here on a comet, and I don't know where I am or what I'm doing here or how I'm going to get back to where I used to live which is strange, see, cause I don't really know exactly where I used to live- If I had a home at all! But...." The flutter spoke as calmly as though this happened to ponies every day. "I guess I'll take life as it comes!" And she resumed looking at the ribbons.

"See, I crash landed here on a comet..." Yep. The poor thing was definitely insane. But Amber was distressed to find out that, as she had predicted, the poor thing didn't have a home. "Oh, well that won't do! Ever'one needs a home! Now let's see, darlin'...I do have a might' big attic...Well, I guess yer welcome to stay with me! Most of my attic is taken up with clothes racks - I sorta double as a boutique, ya see - but if ya want, I live above my shop, so we could sorta share my space!" Hmm...didn't this used to be a psychologist's office? Maybe I could call in the old owner... "Oh - and if ya think that's charity and don't want to take my offer, ya could work in my shop part-time if you feel the need. Or ya could get a little cash out of it too - consider livin' here one of the job perks!"

"Sure ya do!" Amber was still skeptical of any sort of style an insane mind would create, but maybe it would even put a bizarre twist on things. Amberlocks had been in business long enough to know that success comes from playing off of fads. Lucky for her, the latest fads involoved cries for individuality. By now the owner of the salon had gotten the hair up into a lovely bun, with strands of long hair hanging out of the sides. The ribbons trailing from the hair accentuated the wings beautifully, and Amber smiled in satisfaction. Amber, hon, ya've done it again! "Well, there ya go!", Amber exclaimed after a moment, whirling the salon chair around so Nova could get a good look at herself. "Ya like it, darlin'?" "Anyhow, I expect you'll be wantin' to see yer new room! Follow me, darlin!" With that, she trotted up a staircase at the back of the shop.

Glitterlilly stomped along. She would sometimes start to skip a bit, since it was so nice out. Then she would catch herself, look around hastily to see if someone was looking and had maybe caught her being happy, then she would stick her lip out and wait to feel gloomy again.
I can't believe Triple Treat said I was too young to flambe a pudding. I take care of all sorts of things. I am NOT too young. I'm NOT. I just won't smile until he lets me flambe, that will show him.
She kicked a stone and stomped a few hundred more feet. After a bit she noticed the salon. It looked...girly.
Glitterlilly felt herself drawn to it. She peered through the windows. Getting her hair done seemed like something a princess would do, and she liked picture books about princesses.
She pressed her little purple nose right against the window and made a big foggy mess. She didn't have any money, but it sure looked nice.

Amberlocks looked up from the drawer of hair accessories she'd been organizing and saw a little face pressed against her window. She walked to her door and poked her head out. "Hey there darlin'! Would ya like to come in? I can give ya a nice hairdo!"

Novaluna clopped down the stairs. (See attic thread) Seeing amber she called- "Hi! Morning!" Then she saw the pony amber was greeting. "Oh! A customer! Can I do this one? I've got a few ideas! Or..... maybe you could show me how to do it first?"
