Chapter 63: The Orange Beanie
Ever since Ezra's been on the Ghost, he's always seen with a orange beanie on his head. The crew once in a while got a peck at a piece of hair sticking out but he always fixed it. They were getting more and more curious by the day. They even asked Zeb who was his roommate if he's seen him without his hat. Zeb shook his head and said, "No, he even sleeps with it on." They all furrowed their eyebrows in confusion when Zeb smirked, "I have a plan." He stood up and yelled "Kid, come here." They winced and Hera said slightly glaring, "We have comms for a reason, Zeb." He rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry forgot."
A minute later, Ezra walked in with the beanie on and Zeb reached up behind him but Ezra turned around quickly and said calmly, "Don't touch my hat." And walked out like nothing at all happened.
The next day, The crew were in the kitchen talking about upcoming missions and supplies when Ezra walked in without seeing them. He went up to the cabinet and went on his tiptoes reaching for a cup making Zeb silently snicker. Filling it up with tap water and being distracted, Zeb stealthily snuck over and swiftly grabbed the beanie perched on his head.
What they didn't expect though was a long tumble of hair to tumble down his back to his hips in a braid. He continued as if nothing happened and The crew watched his now discovered blue hair swish with his movement.
He placed his cup in the sink and turned around to only jump at the staring wide eyed crew. But Ezra quickly noticed the hat in Zeb's hand and he frowned, "Seriously Zeb? I just put my hair up and now I have to redo it." He snatched the hat and placed it on the table. The crew watched him take his braid from his back and take out the tie.
He steadily undid the braid but said as he sensed confusion, "You may ask questions. I know your dying too." Sabine said off the bat, "Why is your hair so long?" He looked at her as he finished undoing it and flung it out to puffed out the wavy hair, "When I was on the streets, I didn't have anything to cut my hair and when I did have something to cut it off, I'd donate it for credits." "Why did you get paid for your hair?" Zeb asked. "Blue hair is rare." He said simply with a shrug. They nodded when Hera asked, "Why'd you want to hide this from us?" He smiled as he tied it off and separated it into three parts and started braiding it again gently, "I wasn't trying to. It's just a pain to put back up and the beanie keeps it all out of my way." She nodded in understanding.
'If I had that much hair, I wouldn't want it in my way anyway.' She thought.
"Then why don't you cut it?" Kanan voiced. Ezra tilted his head side to side, "I am actually cutting it soon. I just need to get a pair of scissors." They all smirked and Hera stood up as he tied off the end of his hair and went to a drawer. Pulling out a shiny pair of scissors, Ezra smirked to and grabbed the object. He smiled as he placed it above the hair tie and everyone could hear the scissors work through the thick navy blue hair.
After a minute of sawing with the scissors, Ezra pulled his braid in front of him. They smiled as his hair was now a bob and he said "Looks about a foot. And since we're on Lothal, I'm going to cash this in." He took his hat off the table and walked out with his braid in hand.
They all towards each other and Hera said, "I'm going." And dashed out the room to catch up. Sabine also made a dash for it which left the boys. They shrugged their shoulders and walked out calmly.
Ezra with his beanie on again to try and hide his uneven hair and the others silently walked to the city, the Kid leading them to the barber shop. He smiled as he walked in with the others behind him. A girl with a brown pixie cut immediately noticed the new comers and when she saw Ezra, her face lit up. She ran up and hugged him. He chuckled as she pulled away and he held up his braid, "I got something." She smirked and took the tied hair going over to a long ruler going up the wall.
She gasped as she said, "Ez, new record, two feet." Ezra laughed as The crews mouth dropped open from the length.
'Man that's a lot up hair.' She walked over to her station and Ezra followed after her and sat in her seat. The unanimous person grabbed her scissors and said, "Same as last time?" "You know it."
Quickly trimming it up and making it look it presentable. (His hair in season 1.)
"Ok all done. Let me get you your credits." And walked up to the main desk and opening the cash register, she pulled out 20 credits. He shook his hair out with his hand and grabbed the credits from her hand.
"Thanks, Em. I'll see you later." The silent crew walked out with a now short haired teen.
