Shampoo
‘Erik! have you seen my Johnson's baby shampoo for kids, ya know the one that doesn't hurt my lil eyes?’ shouted Ashley from the bedroom
‘No hun, sorry! why?’ asked a bemused Erik
‘Cos John and Derek, the MTB camera guys will be here in a minute and i need it for my shower scenes’
‘Well Dans in the bathroom now, he might know where it is’
‘Ok thanks’ said Ashley as he headed off into the bathroom. He pushed open the door and shoved his way through the clouds of steam and the smell of Dans ...well just the smell of Dan really.
‘Ashley what's up dude?’ Dan asked, stopping shaving his legs to look up
‘Have you seen my Johnson's baby shampoo?’ said Ashley, holding his stomach to stop himself throwing up at the sight of a naked Dan
‘Yeah i used the last bit a minute ago’
‘You idiot! Now what am i gonna use for the cameras!?’
‘Sorry man....it just leaves my hair so soft’ he said rubbing his smooth legs
‘Eurgh! Do you have to do that in other peoples company you big gay’
‘What's going on?!’ shouted Jacob running in with his guitar strapped firmly to his back
‘Dan used all my shampoo!’ complained Ashley jumping up and down like a 5 year old
‘Dan..is this true?’
Dan look down and played with his thumbs ‘yes Jacob’
‘Now now its ok. Ashley you’ll have to use my shampoo today’
‘But I....’
‘No buts’ scalded Jacob ‘Its in my room, I'll be right back ok. No fighting you two’ he said looking back before he left the room. Ashley stuck out his tongue at Dan causing Dans eyes to fill with tears. Dan stared at Ashley for a few minutes before speaking
‘So you gonna get the hell out or what?’ he said
‘Oh yeah sorry’ spat Ashley as he left‘ Everything sorted?’ asked Erik
‘Yeah i guess. Where's Trevor by the way?’
‘He went with Lou to that Cat convention remember...or was it Fat? Oh well whatever, he’ll be back tomorrow’
‘Oh yeah i forgot. I'm not surprised he went away really, I mean what after we shaved his head coloured in his face’
‘I’m sure that permanent marker will come off one day’ smiled Erik
‘Ashley! I’ve got your shampoo!’ shouted Jacob running through the room looking very pleased with himself indeed
‘Cheers Jake’ grinned Ashley as Jacob passed him a small yellow bottle. He held it to his eyes as he read the label ‘you sure i can use this?’ asked Ashley looking worried all of a sudden
‘Yeah, I use it all the time’
‘Jake you wash your hair every 3 months’
‘yeah what's your point?’
‘Oh nothing except for the fact that it says use one pea sized amount or the smell will attract rabid dogs and polar bears’
‘Don’t worry about it...its just a joke’
‘Honest?’
‘yes, now go! the camera guys just pulled up’
‘Ok, see you guys later’
‘Yeah, goodnight ash, just incase i miss u’
‘Ok!’
Jacob let out an evil cackle
‘What the hell was that man?’ asked Erik
‘Oh nothing’ he said, grinning to himself.
Ashley pulled off the cap of the bottle and squirted out the shampoo into his hand, he was slightly put off at the green colour but still he needed some lather to cover all of his parts that even the x-rated version of MTB wouldn't see. He rubbed it into his hair and gave the camera a look
‘Ok Ash we need more lather’
‘But I can’t use any more or....’
‘No buts’ shouted one of the camera men as he grabbed the bottle and poured it all over his head
Ashley rubbed it in and began to rinse. They all gasped. He let out a cry of horror as he looked at his hands. His nightmare was coming true! What the hell was going on!
In the other room a spine tingling scream was heard. Ashley came running out stark naked , holding his head.
‘Ash what's wrong?’ asked Erik
‘IM BALD!’ he cried uncovering his new look
‘Mwahahahaha my plan worked!’ laughed Jacob
‘What!?’
‘Now I'll be the cute one and everyone will love me!’ he cried
‘Nooooooooooooooooooooooo’ screamed Ashley.He sat up quickly in his bed. What? Was it all a dream. He felt his head...he had hair. He pulled out the mirror from his drawer and checked himself out, perfect blonde hair.
‘Phew!’ he thought to himself. He lay back down and drifted back to sleep. But Jacob was outside and he had heard the whole dream as Ashley said it all aloud, now he had a plan and he would be the cutest one in O-Town and no-one could stop him!
