+=======
She throws her black hair over, over, over her shoulder and out of her way. She can’t stand it any damn more.
“Please, baby, hand me some scissors?” She calls over her shoulder and you hand her the scissors, curious why she needs them when all she’s doing is working on a pair of wings. You guess it would be okay, and not suspicious if she’d asked for wire-cutters; but she asked for scissors.
She walks away, toward the bathroom. You follow diligently.
She surveys herself in the mirror, turning this way, that way and this way again, until she decides that she has something right.
She takes a ribbon and ties an even rope of thin blackness down her hair at the nape of her neck. It nestles her spine and it’s so familiar to you. She takes her scissors and cuts just below the autumn-striped ribbon, cutting a sliver of ribbon and at least foot hair off.
She sighs. “There; much better.”
Suddenly, you’re spotted in the mirror. “Did you need something?” Her caramelized eyes gaze at you.
“Nothing, Opal,” you mutter, glancing down at the ground. You’ll never say how much you’ll miss her hair.
“I like this cut,” Opal says, admiring, but she’s talking to you, “much more practical, don’t you think?”
You finger the long blonde hair that reaches down to tickle the top of your thigh. “Mhmm.” You ‘agree’.
You still have to say; you miss her long, large, flowing, beautiful hair.

*looks up and sees the metaphor go straight over my head*
All this thinking is hurting my brain. I feel like Pex now. Happy?
*claps with Ohan* I likes it, even though I’m too dumb to truly get it.

*shruggs* I never said you couldn’t have an e-platypus anywayz.
Grazi.

If I say sorry, will you stop harping on the fact that I ~jOkInGlY~ called you a lolicon?

This story is interested.
I like some of the descriptors, like “caramelized eyes”. I can picture that, it’s nice.
Second person is also a good time if done well.
I’m not quite sure if this is supposed to tie into canon? Or maybe it’s AU? It seems like Opal is a little out of character, and I can’t really glean a point from it.
But good job, interesting ship.

It’s canon and before anything really starts going on. Teenage years, I guess you would say. And I guess she could be OOC; but, really, all she was is get angry that her hair was in the way, then go cut it herself, but ask Lili/her lover (I guess the proper word is) how she liked her new hair *shrug*. Is that too out-there? Plus, it’s all a metaphor on Opal’s character itself so . . . yeah . . .

I liked it TWS. Not like I don’t like any of your stories, but this is good just like all of yours. Great Job!

I have a suggestion-why don’t you hire a person who knows how to write!!!
Mwahahahaha I love revenge:)

i luv your writing. how’d you learn to write like this? *jealous* kidding. But GREAT story! I luvs it. I need to read your new ones.

Thanks, iwiwaf
And, abra, I would but, seeing as I can both speak AND write the english language, that seems a little redundent.
But, maybe, you could download a program that deletes bad insults and poor writing, and then we’d be set ♥
