[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I do!"

"I'll make my way back, don't worry."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He laughed. "All right. I'll see if we can make a side trip soon."

"Don't get into too much trouble without me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Awesome. Do you have any siblings?"

"I'll try."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yep," he said, trying to disguise a wince.

"Very good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Brother, sister?"

Just as they were about to turn into the salon, they were stopped by a group of girls.
"Oh my god, are you Edward Cullen?" one of them asked, eyes wide. She had a necklace on that said 'Bite Me'.
"Unfortunatley," he said quietly, trying to find a way out.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Two brothers and two sisters."

Mimi stood there, biting her lip to keep from laughing but at the same time hoping no one really noticed her there.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Big family, huh?"

"I'd totally give up my family for you, Edward. Turn me into a vampire."
"I'm sure they wouldn't want to here that."
"I've always been Team Edward."
And so the onslaught of girly fandom continued, with Edward slowly backing away from the crowd and trying to appease them and get rid of them at the same time.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yep."

The owner of the salon noticed the crowd outside the store and went out to see what was going on. "Why, I'm astonished at you young ladies!" the elderly woman with long silver hair bellowed at them. "Being rude to this young man while he's out for an afternoon stroll. Go on, get, all of you!" There was a collective moan of complaint from the fangirls. "Don't make me call up a higher authority!" she threatened. The crowd dispersed.
Michelle started towards the door, but the woman stopped her. "You too. Get."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you okay?" she asked, looking up at him.

"She's with me," Edward explained.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"And, um, I was kind of hoping to get my hair cut."
The woman immediately brightened. "Well, come on in, then," she said, holding the door open for them to enter anyway. "I'll have to apologize for those girls, young man. I let them hang around here some days when the ice cream shop next door is on a lunch break, but they were behaving terribly."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You look tense."

"Oh no, I'm used to it. But thank you, anyway," he said.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Family..." he shrugged.

"The life of a celebrity," she clucked, leading Mimi over to a chair. "What'll it be, then, kiddo?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"I just want it short. A little less than shoulder length? Other than that I'm clueless."
"Used to long hair for a while, huh?"
"You have no idea."
"What do you want it to look like, how about?"
She shrugged, unable to imagine herself with short hair. "Surprise me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What about it?"

Edward went and sat down, ignoring the looks that he was getting.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It's not always fun and games."

"In all my years owning this place, I've never heard that before."
She grinned. "Good to know."
"You sure about this?"
"Yep."
"All right, then. You in for a haircut, too, young man?" she called over to Edward as she got various things from corners of the room.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, yeah."

"I'll pass, thanks."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He shrugged. "Do you really want to meet them?"

She shrugged and turned back to Mimi. "Okay, are you donating?"
"Sure."
Nodding, the woman took a rubberband and made a ponytail out of most of her braid and snipped it away, putting the resulting length of hair on an empty space of a naarby table. "Go ahead and take out the rest of your braid while I get this ready."
Mimi murmured an agreement and started running her fingers through her dramatically shorter hair, undoing the plaits as she did so.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't see why there would be a problem."

Edward looked around as this was going on.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, just you wait."

And blah, she got her hair cut and it was dramatically short and she was kind of unrecognizable.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Should I be scared?"

((xD))

Edward looked up when she was done and grinned. "You look great."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Mmmm... maybe."

"Yeah?" she asked, standing up and tugging at the ends of her hair.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Do you want to brief me a little?"

"Definitley."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Um. Sure." He sighed. "Brace yourself."

"Thanks," she replied, smiling.
"You two are so cute," the hair lady told them on her way to the cash register.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Bracing."

"We try."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"All right. There's my oldest sister, Hannah. She's got a black belt in every martial art imaginable and has kind of a temper, and she's never been afraid to beat anyone up, especially not that one time her now ex-boyfriend cheated on her." He shook his head. "A few times she's been hired out as a hitwoman. And she likes that job a little too much."

Mimi elbowed him in the ribs and gave the woman money. "Thank you so much for the haircut."
"Oh, any time. Good-bye now!"
And they left.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Alright.." she said slowly.

"And now what do we do?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"And after that is my brother, Brian. He got beat up the most. He speaks seventeen languages and works almost exclusively as a mercenary spy for whichever country is hiring, and he's never once gotten arrested. He's got this impeccable sense of timing that I'm sure isn't unrelated to some sort of special ability. He mutters to himself a lot and is kind of a lot more than paranoid."

"No idea," she replied, taking a random direction. "Let's explore."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She just nodded, staring at her hands.

"Sounds good."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"And my younger brother, Joe. He's a real character. He was a contortionist for a while in the circus or something, and now he's a professional lock picker. I don't know when the transition happened. He's a real flirt and can pick his way out of anything, real smooth talker."

"Huzzah."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And your other sister?"

"This way," he said, crossing the street.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ivy," he replied, nodding. "Nickname, not irony. Her real name is Irene. She's about your age, maybe a little older. Runs a nice little herb shop back home, except in the back of the store is where she experiments with poisons. Helps out my assassin friend every now and then. Lots of good work comes her way."

"Have a place in mind already?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You have an assassin friend?"

"Sort of."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You bet."

"Ooh, do tell."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you guys on good terms?"

"I'll show you the place, but it's only active at night."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yeah, we still talk and stuff. My family thinks I'm a big disappointment, though."

"Are we going there at night?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why? Because you're not doing anything illegal?" she asked, rolling her eyes.

"Sure are."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He laughed. "Something like that."

"Excellent. What is it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, you're great the way you are. And I still want to meet them."

"Wanna guess?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"All right, if you say so."

"Of course," she replied, thinking as they walked. "Some kind of night club, right? Ray'll get a kick out of that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I do. I think I can handle it."

"Something like that."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I sure hope so."

"Am I going to like it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Don't worry."

"You'll find it amusing."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So when do you want to go?"

"Ooh, even better."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Now," she said jokingly.

"I thought so."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That can be arranged," he joked back.

"Is it dressy?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, Mimi's taking a nap still, I assume."

"Not...quite."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"We can go and be back by the time she wakes up."

"What does that mean?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you sure?"

"It's a different kind of dressy."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Maybe."

"I still don't know what that means."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We don't have to go."

"You'll see tonight."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"But you want to."

"How will I know what to wear?" she teased.
