Pink Scissors and Purple Eyes
Yuki stood in front of her magical salon mirror, adjusting her scissor-shaped hairpins. Her pink curls bounced as she practiced her brightest smile. The purple sparkles in her eyes matched the excitement bubbling in her chest.
"Today's the day, Maki and Yuko!" she called to her best friends. "We're finally opening our salon in Nakaiboto village!"
Maki, with her emerald green hair tied in neat braids, polished her silver scissors. "I can't wait to help everyone look their best."
Yuko, whose golden blonde hair shimmered like sunshine, arranged colorful hair ribbons on the counter. "The villagers will love our magical makeovers."
Through the salon window, Yuki spotted five boys running past. Their long, greasy hair flew behind them like messy flags. One boy's hair was so tangled it covered his entire face.
"Those poor boys need our help," Yuki whispered, her heart filling with determination.
The boys disappeared around a corner, shouting something about scissors being scary.
The Wild Chase
The salon door burst open with a crash. A woman with short brown hair rushed in, her face pale with worry.
"Please help!" she gasped. "Those bullies are at it again!"
Yuki dropped her brush. "What bullies?"
"Ryusei and his gang," the woman explained quickly. "They have giant scissors and they're chasing five boys through the village. They want to cut their hair as a cruel joke!"
Through the window, Yuki spotted the chaos. Three bigger boys with enormous silver scissors ran after five smaller ones. The smaller boys screamed as they dodged around market stalls.
"Ren! Riku! Run faster!" one boy shouted to his friends.
Maki grabbed her scissors case. "We have to stop this!"
"But those boys hate scissors," Yuko pointed out. "They'll be terrified of us too."
The woman wrung her hands. "Their parents sent them for haircuts, but they ran away. Now Ryusei thinks it's funny to terrorize them with those huge scissors!"
A crash echoed outside as someone knocked over a vegetable cart.
Yuki's purple eyes sparkled with determination. "Magical hairdressers don't let bullies hurt anyone!"
