SMO Chapter 4.3 : Makeover

Suuco finally finished with Shi's new look.

Shina looked like an entirely different person.

Before, she had long blonde hair and wore a Cyan Headband with a Slightly darker Flower on her left. She wore a Cyan dress with some parts of it being Dark Blue and a shorter Skirt than your usual dress. She also wore some makeup on her, which made her "glow" a bit too much.

Now, her hair style was completely changed. Instead of her straight hair, she had her hair put into a Ponytail. To hide the Dress and her Hair, or at least most of it, she wore one of Suuco's spare Hoodies, which made her look completely different than before.

"Hmm, I have to admit, I like the way this looks." Shi takes a hand held mirror from her bag and looks at her mew style.

"Well, I didn't live alone with my sister for a few years and Not pick anything up. I even sometimes brush my sisters hair when she demands it. But only if I make her pouty." Suuco start to take out a cas from his bag.

"This will be the final touch, but I want to warn you. If anything, and I mean Anything, happens to these, then I will not forgive anyone who let that "Anything" happen to these." Suuco opens the case, and revealse a pair of glasses.

"Wait, glasses? Is that what you were going on about?" Shi looks at the glasses, wondering what Suuco could be thinking to not forgive anyone for the pair of glasses.

"These were my Grandfathers. I don't have very much to remember him by. I only have this, amd his collection of Anime and Manga." Suuco takes the glasses from the case, amd puts them on Shi.

"Take care of them. As long as you can do that, then I don't care where you take them. You could also keep the hoodie if you want. It suits you with the dress." Suuco gives her a smile, and Shi can only turn around, slightly red.

"Anyways, this might work, so let's put this to the test." Shi begins to walk towards the street, with Suuco and Mina in tow.

As they walk up to the street, one of the black cars stop.

'Uh oh.' Shi shifts a little, but stays calm.

"Hey kids, we're looking for a girl named 'Shina Bellpoint'. Have any of you seen her? Or at least know somebody who does?" One of the Guards in the car, who looked stronger than the average man, asked this with a slightly worried face.

Without saying a word, Suuco, Mina, and the Disguised Shi all shook there heads, making the Guard give a heavy sigh.

"Well, if you do see her, then talk to one of the people in the black cars. If we don't find her, then..." He stops there, and instead looks at the ground.

"Let's just say, we would be in pretty big trouble. Thank you for your time." He rolls up his window, and the person in the driver seat continues.

All sighing in unison, they start crossing the street, and onwards to Suuco's home.

. . .

Finally making it home, Suuco opens the door, and they all walk in, giving a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we made it. Mina, please show Shi around while I go back and pick up Suzu. I only have about 5 Minutes left until her school is out. So make yourselves at home, and I'll be right back." Suuco leaves for Suzu's School, and leaves the other two behind.

Mina beckons toward Shi to follow her. As they go into each room, Mina says only the name of the room, and on the way, pays her respects to the little shrine. Shi does the same, and pays her respects.

For their final stop, they stop in front of the stairs.

"So, what's upstairs?" Shi asks Mina, but Mina just shrugs.

"So you haven't been up there? Wanna check it put?" Shi begins up the stairs, but Mina tugs on her skirt.

"...wait." Mina shakes her head, wanting to get Suuco's permission before they do anything else.

"Fine. We'll wait until Suuco comes back, and then we explore. Okay?" Mina nods her head, and they head back to the living room.

After a few minutes, Suuco and Suzu open the door and walk inside.

Almost immediately, Suzu runs up to Shi and greets her.

"So you must be Shina!y name is Suzu. Nice to meet you!" Being full of energy, she extends her hand for a handshake.

"Well aren't you something. Suuco, is this the Sister you said you would introduce me to?" Shi stares at Suzu, not knowing what to do.

Before Suuco could answer, Shi hugs Suzu.

"Can I keep her?" Shi looks at Suuco with serious eyes, while still holding onto the struggling Suzu.

"Umm, no? I don't think she would like it very much. I also don't think that you can just take someone else's sister without the concent of the person in question. And even if they agreed, I wouldn't. I can't just give away my cute little sister." With a look of disappointment, Shi lets go of Suzu and sits on the sofa with her arms crossed, unable to say anything back.

"Ok, well with thag done, I'll go and make Dinner. You guys can do what you want until I finish." Before he could start, Shi walks up to him.

"What's upstairs?" She simply asked, Mina also looking curious.

"Well, how about we have Suzu show you upstairs. I'll just make dinner while you guys explore." Suuco gets back to work, and everybody else goes upstairs, with Suzu in the lead.

. . .

Bing upstairs, Suuco couldn't hear them, so they were able to talk about anything without him noticing.

"So, who's rooms are who's?" Shi looks at the 4 Doors that were in the hallway.

"The first one to the left is my brother's, while the one next to it is mine. The other two are empty, since our grandfather wanted to live in the basement, where he kept most of his personal belongings." Suzu walks further into the hall and pulls on a string.

A Ladder rolls down from a hatch on the ceiling.

"Ooh, an attic. We have one at my house, but I was never allowed up there." Shi looks up, eyes thirsting to explore what she has never seen before.

"Wanna be my guest?" Suzu beckons towards the Ladder, and Shi decides to take her offer. Mina also agrees, since she started to get curious.

Going up, the girls enter a large room that had many boxes and cobwebs.

"Spooky. This seems like it'll be fun." Shi begins going through some of the boxes, finding trinkets and old clothing.

Mina simply looked around, and Suzu looked through her old collection of stuffed animals.

"Those look cute. Why are they up here?" Shi walks up to Suzu, seeing the Stuffed Animals she was holding.

"Well, for starters, there aren't very many, so I don't hold any attachment to them. And secondly, I don't really like having too many cute things around me. I'd rather prefer if there was Anime or Manga that I could read." Suzu puts the stuffed animals back into the box.

"Well, if you don't want them, then give them to me. I adore cute things." Shi picks up the box while giving Suzu her request.

"Well, if you want them, then you can take them. But you owe me something in return. I don't know what that would be, but I'll think of something later." Suzu let's her carry the box down the ladder, and Mina walks up to Suzu with something in hand.

"Oh, that use to be my brothers. If you want it, then you should ask him instead of me." Suzu and Mina go back down the ladder, to hear Suuco's voice announcing that Dinner was ready.

Going back downstairs, the girls smell a sweet fragrance in the air.

"Something smells nice. What did you make?" Shi sits at the table, along with Mina and Suzu.

"Well, other than the dinner that I made, I decided that I would make a Lava Cake. It was a little difficult, but I got it to work." Suuco starts to set up the table, but was stopped by Mina, who showed him the object in her hands.

"Is that... my old pocket-watch?" Suuco gently takes it from her hands.

"This used to be my father's. This was one of the only things that I had to remember them by."

"Mina wanted to know if she could keep it. I knew how important it was to you, but I think you should let her keep it. Afterall, Shina still has the glasses from our grandfather." Suzu looks at Suuco, who didn't know what to choose.

After a bit of thinking, he hands it back to Mina.

"I will let you have this, but it will have the same terms as the glasses. So make sure nothing happens to it. Okay?" Mina nods, and starts looking at the pocketwatch with amazement.

"I almost forgot how rare a Pocketwatch is nowadays. If you sold it, you could make a lot of money. Not that I am telling you to sell it, of course." Shi was sitting next to Mina, so she also looked at the watch curiously.

"Well, anyways, with that out of the way, let's eat!"
