Pink Scissors and Morning Chaos

Yuki bounced on her pink heels as she unlocked the door to her magical hair salon. Her tiny scissor earrings jingled with each step. The morning sun streamed through the windows, making her vibrant pink hair sparkle under her cute hairpins.

"Another beautiful day to make people look fabulous!" she sang, adjusting her pink dress and checking her green eyes in the mirror.

Her phone buzzed with a text from her magical girl friends, Maki and Yuko. They were running late again. Yuki shrugged and started arranging her magical hair tools—glittering scissors, rainbow combs, and bottles of shimmering hair potions.

Outside, she heard shouting and what sounded like... dragging? Through the window, she spotted five boys with incredibly long, messy hair covering their faces. Their parents were practically pulling them down the street toward her salon.

One boy with glasses peeked through his shaggy bangs, looking absolutely terrified.

"Oh my," Yuki whispered, her green eyes widening. "This is going to be interesting."

The Sparrow Scramble

The salon door burst open with a thunderous crash. Five boys tumbled inside, their parents pushing them forward with determined expressions. Each boy had hair so long and tangled it completely covered their faces like messy curtains.

"Please help us!" gasped a mother with short, smart-looking hair. "They haven't had haircuts in months!"

Yuki watched in amazement as the boys huddled together like scared puppies. One boy with glasses peeking through his bangs whispered, "I can't see the scissors from here. Maybe they're not that sharp."

"Don't even think about it, Kenji," hissed another boy. "Remember what happened last time?"

Just then, Yuki's phone buzzed loudly. The sudden sound made all five boys jump and scramble toward the window like startled sparrows trying to escape.

"Maki and Yuko are stuck in traffic!" Yuki announced, reading her text. She looked at the chaos unfolding - boys pressed against the glass, parents blocking the door, and hair everywhere.

"Well," she said, adjusting her tiny scissor earrings with a determined smile, "looks like it's just me and you boys for now."
