#6 - Expect the Unexpected
Trigger Warning: Attempted suicide.
The next morning, Beauty woke up, instantly remembering last night. He looked at Scott who was sleeping next to her. She smiled. "Mmm..." Scott moaned and opened his eyes. "Oh, morning babe." He said. "Morning Scott." She said, kissing him on the forehead. He chuckled. "Did you enjoy last night?" He asked. "Yeah. I did." Beauty replied. She got up and yawned. "Well, we should probably get dressed and go get breakfast." She said. "Alright." Scott said. They both got dressed and went downstairs. Everyone was sitting at the table, talking when Chica saw Beauty and Scott. "Good morning, you two." She said. "Morning." Beauty said. Then, Fritz noticed marks on her neck. "Hey, Beauty, what happened to your neck?" He asked. Beauty noticed and put her hand on her neck. "Oh, this? Don't worry about it. I'm fine." She said.
Chibi was talking to Anthony when she saw Beauty. "Good morning Beauty." She said.
"Morning, Chibi." Beauty said as she and Scott sat down. "So, Freddy, what's for breakfast?" Golden asked. "I'm making some pancakes." Freddy replied.
"Yay!" Chibi cheered. "I love pancakes!"
Freddy smiled. "Alright. I'll go ahead and get cooking." He said, getting the ingredients for the pancakes. "Hey, guys, so I've been thinking..." Chirp started. "About what?" Mangle asked. "Well, since Bonbon doesn't like Beauty, I was thinking that we should change Beauty's appearance. That way, Bonbon won't be able to tell that that was her." She replied.
Chibi looked at her. "Go on." She said.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe we should dye her hair a different color. Maybe put some white hair dye on the tips." Chirp said.
"That sounds good." Said Chibi.
"Alright. So we'll go to the salon after we eat. Does that sound good?" Chirp asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, Freddy came to the table with the pancakes on a plate. "The pancakes are ready." He said, setting the pancakes on the table.
Chibi happily took the pancakes and was about to eat them when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned to see who it was.
"Chibi, I'm not sure about this. I mean, what if Bonbon finds out right off the bat that it was me?" Beauty asked.
"I don't know either. But we might as well try." Chibi answered.
"Alright." Beauty said.
Later, they all have finished their breakfast and Beauty, Chibi, and Chirp all went outside. "Hey Freddy? Is it alright if I use your car?" Chirp asked. "Sure. I don't mind." Freddy replied. "Okay. Thanks." Chirp said. The three girls went in the car and Chirp started the engine. "Alright. We'll be back soon." Chirp said. "Alright. Be careful." Bonnie said. "We will." Chirp said. The others watched as they drove down the street and out of sight.
Beauty and Chirp were talking on the way there. But Chibi wasn't listening to what they were saying. Instead, she watched everything go by as they drove.
"So... What's the whole purpose of giving me this makeover?" Beauty asked. "Hmm... Well, half of it is fooling Bonbon and the other half is... um..." Chirp said. "What's the other half?" Beauty asked. "Well, since you and Scott are getting married, I was thinking that maybe I should give you a new, fresh start." She replied. "Really? Thanks." Beauty said. "No problem." She said. Later, they arrived at the salon. "Alright. We're here." Chirp said, getting out of the car.
"Huh? Oh." Chibi said, noticing that they arrived. She got out the car and followed the others into the salon.
The receptionist greeted Chirp at the front desk. "Hello. What's your name?" She asked. "Chirp. I have an appointment for my friend." Chirp answered. "Oh, yeah, okay, follow me this way." The lady said. She led Chirp, Beauty, and Chibi to the waiting room. "Alright, I want you two to wait here until your friend's done, okay?" She asked. "Okay." Chirp replied. "Alright. Follow me, miss." The lady said as she led Beauty to the chair. "Alright, sweetie, I want you to sit in this chair." The lady said. Beauty sat on the chair and rested her head in the sink. "Don't worry. I got the rest handled." She said as she took out a bottle of white hair dye and applied it on the tips of Beauty's hair. She got out a bottle of shampoo and shampooed her hair. Then, she rinsed her hair until a white foam began to start up in the water. "Okay. Now you just have to stay here for at least 20 minutes." She said. "Alright." Beauty said. The lady walked into the waiting room. "Girls, she'll be out soon." She said.
"That's good." Chibi said.
20 minutes later
Beauty's hair has been dried and she walked into the waiting room. "Um, hey, I didn't know if I was allowed out or not, so..." Beauty said. Everyone turned to see Beauty. "Oh my gosh! Beauty, you look gorgeous!" Chirp squealed. "Do you have a mirror or anything?" Beauty asked. "Follow me." The lady said as she led Beauty to a mirror. Beauty was astonished by what she looked like. The bottom half of her hair is dyed white with two white streaks leading up to the back of her head. "Wow... thanks." Beauty said. "No problem. Do you like it?" The lady asked. "I don't know... Chibi?" Beauty said, looking at Chibi.
"I think that it looks great!" She said.
Beauty looked at the lady. "It looks great. Thanks." She said. "You're welcome." The lady said. The three girls went outside the salon. "Thanks for giving me a makeover, Chirp." Beauty said. "Ah, no problem. Anything for a friend." Chirp said. "Well, we should probably get home." Beauty said. "Yeah, We should." Chirp said. All of them got in the car and drove back to Freddy's house. Once there, everyone looked at Beauty. "Wow. You look amazing." Scott said. "Thanks." Beauty said. "Hey Chibi. How was it?" Anthony asked.
"It went well." She responded "Beauty looks amazing!"
"Thank you." Beauty said, smiling brightly. Scott smiled. "Hey Beauty. I want to show you something." he said. "Sure. What is it?" She asked. "I think you and Chibi will like it. Anthony, do you wanna come with me?" Scott asked, looking at Anthony. "Sure. Chibi, do you want to come with us?" He asked.
"Yes. I would." She responded.
"Alright. Let's go." Scott and the others went to his car and drove off to the spot that Scott wanted to show them. "Alright. For this surprise, you're gonna need a blindfold." Scott said. "Huh? Why?" Beauty asked. "You'll see." Scott replied. He got two blindfolds out of his pocket and gave one to Anthony. He looked at Scott, uncertain, but he assured him that everything's fine. Scott put the blindfold on Beauty while Anthony put the blindfold on Chibi. The two guys led the girls to a house. They took the blindfold off the two girls and they were amazed. It was a really big house. In fact, it's just as big as Chica's house with a big fountain in the front yard and multiple flowers lined up on the side of the driveway. "Oh my gosh, Scott. You didn't have to." Beauty said. "Well, my mom convinced me. If we're gonna get married, we should have our own house. Plus if you want a family, of course." He said.
"Scott. Don't get me wrong. This house looks amazing! But, while I understand why if it's for you and Beauty getting married, then I don't understand why it would have to involve me too. I'm sorry if that came out as mean, I don't mean it to be. I'm just really confused is all." She said.
Scott looked at Chibi. "Well, Chibi. You're our guest of honor." He said.
Chibi was surprised. "I'm what?" She said.
"A guest of honor. Since you are Beauty's best friend, I figured that it would be okay if we include you in the family." Scott said.
Chibi didn't know how to respond. They consider her a part of the family. She looked at the ground. "I-I had no idea you guys thought of me as family." She said.
Beauty hugged Chibi. "Well, now you do." She pulled away and looked at her. "You know, I always wanted a family and you... you're like a little sister to me. You are so sweet and innocent and you are just a really great friend. We'll be more than happy to include you in the family." She said.
This made Chibi feel happy. "T-Thank you. I-I'd be happy to be part of the family." She said.
"You're welcome." Beauty said. Then, Scott tapped Beauty on the shoulder. Beauty turned around and saw a pair of keys in his hand. "Here's the keys to the house." He said as he gave Beauty the keys. "Thanks." Beauty said. "You're welcome." Scott said, kissing her on the cheek. "I love you." He said. "I love you too, Scott." Beauty said and hugged him. Anthony looked at Chibi. "Need a hug?" He asked.
Chibi extended her arms "Yes." She said.
Anthony hugged her. That moment of peace in their lives. It was perfect. Scott and Beauty are getting married, Chibi's been accepted into the family, it was wonderful. Scott looked at the two of them. "Well, who wants to take a look inside?" Scott asked.
"Me!" Chibi said.
"Alright! Let's go." Scott said as Beauty turned the key and all of them went inside.
Meanwhile, a boy with short, reddish brown hair with an orange highlight on the front and blue eyes sat at the kitchen table of his home. The kitchen was dark and quiet, with the green glow of the digital clock on top of the oven being the only light. The table was clean say for a couple of pill bottles knocked over and an empty glass on the table. One of them was almost empty, implying that the boy had been swallowing the pills. He gave out a heavy sigh. He wanted his life to end at this point. The only thing that kept him alive was the thought of the girl that he loved. A sudden ring from his cell phone jolted him out of his thoughts. He picked up his phone to see who it was. The caller ID said the name... Bonbon. He answered it. "Hello?" He said in a low and scratchy voice.
"Troy, I need you right here, right now."
