Sour Hair Day

Summary: When Swizzle’s hair starts to get a little too long and it starts getting in the way for racing, blocking his eyes like a curtain with a window, the other racers suggest that he gets a haircut. But he refuses to do so.

It was another day in Sugar Rush, and the racers were in the middle of the race. Jubileena Bing-Bing was in the lead in first place. They were racing, and Jubileena sped in her Cherriot, and she was gonna win.

Crumbelina: Not if I can help it!

Minty: Make way, for I’m winning today!

Vanellope wasn’t racing today. But instead, she was being the announcer.

Vanellope: Ohhh, heck yeah! The crowd goes wild! Jubileena Bing-Bing is in the lead, looks like the gold is for her today! But wait, Crumbelina DiCaramello and Minty Zaki are fighting for second place. This is getting fantastic fans! Who’s winning? Cheerful Cherry Jubileena Bing-Bing, Luxurious Crumbelina DiCaramello, or Surprising Ice Cream Minty Zaki?

The crowd was cheering for the racers and to who won. They hoped their favorite racer would win. Who’s winning today? It’s a challenge!

And the winner is… Jubileena Bing-Bing!

Jubileena Bing-Bing danced and twirled and cheered: Oh yeah! It’s zingy!

Vanellope handed Jubileena her trophy: Congratulations to our sweet-cherry-loving winner!

Jubileena hugged Vanellope, after getting her trophy, and putting it down for a moment: Thank you, Vanellope.(waving to her fans) It’s zingy, my fans!

As they cheered for their friend, a racer came to Jubileena and Rancis’s view; Swizzle. He was fiddling with his hair to calm it down as he leaned against his kart.

Jubileena: Hey Swizzle!

Swizzle didn’t respond back, but he waved back at her.

Candlehead walked over towards Swizzle, and said: Hey Swizz.

Swizzle looked up at her, brushing his hair away: Oh, hey Candles.

Jubileena and Rancis walked over to them.

Rancis: Swizzle, you nearly hurt yourself on the track cause you couldn’t see. Are you sure you’re okay?

Swizzle brushed it off by saying: I-I’m fine, Rancis.

Taffyta said from afar, snickering: Yeah, well, you look like a lopsided lollipop.(licking a lollipop she had)

Adorabeezle was overhead with her twin sister, Nougetsia Brumblestain, but she wasn’t brave to say anything. Both the sisters watched.

Adorabeezle: Come on guys, don’t be mean. There’s always next time.(to Swizzle, hesitant) But maybe at least think of trimming your bangs.

Swizzle shook his head: No thanks, I’m keeping it like this.

Crumbelina: Oh, please, Malarkey. So if I were you, I’d cut it.

Swizzle groaned and left quietly.

Vanellope and Gloyd heard and saw the drama happening as Swizzle left.

Gloyd: You think he’s good?

Vanellope: I’m not sure. Hmmm… hey, let’s go check on him.

Gloyd nodded and replied back: Good idea.

Vanellope and Gloyd hopped onto their karts, and sped off to Swizzle’s place.

When they got there, Gloyd knocked on Swizzle’s door.

Gloyd: Yo, Swizz!

Swizzle’s voice came from inside, and he mumble quietly: It’s open.

Gloyd opens the door, and he and Vanellope walk inside. There they find Swizzle in his bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror.

Vanellope: Hey Swizzle. You good?

Swizzle yelped when he saw Vanellope and Gloyd standing behind him.

Gloyd: Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.

Swizzle chuckled nervously: Heh. I-I wasn’t scared.

Vanellope: Ooo-okay then…(trying to calm him) Listen, about what they said, ignore them. Those were just some stupid jokes between them.

Swizzle: Well they weren’t funny. And I’m not getting a haircut. No way, no how.

Gloyd then got mischievous idea.

Gloyd: Okay then… how about a bet?

Swizzle: What kind of bet?

Vanellope realized: Oooh… heck yes!

Gloyd: If you lose this bet, you have to get a haircut. And no backing out of it.

Swizzle: And if I win?

Gloyd: If you win, we’ll leave you alone. Fair is fair. You, me, Adorabeezle, and Rancis, on tomorrow race.

Swizzle: Alright… deal.

The next day: The Race Bet

The racers settled into their racing karts. Swizzle fiddled with his hair still, trying to maintain it calm and for it to behave, yet it still was in his way.

Adorabeezle hopped on her Ice Rocket. She looked at Swizzle with a smirk.

Adorabeezle: Are you sure you can race, Swizzle? Cause your hair says otherwise.

Swizzle scoffed and rolled his eyes: Beezy, I’m fine. I’ll win for sure.

Vanellope was in her kart, which she had built with Ralph, the Candy Kart, and she giggled: Please. You’ll probably crash on Gumball Gorge by a gumball for sure. Guh-doi!

Swizzle groaned: Oh, I won’t. You’ll see.

Game Announcer: Drivers, start your engines! 3…2…1… GO!

And they’re off!

The race has started, and Vanellope is in the lead in first place, Rancis in second place, Adorabeezle in third, Gloy in fourth, and sadly, Swizzle, because of his hair, in last place.

Adorabeezle now’s in the lead, and gets a…

Announcer: Power Up!

Her Ice Cream Cannon activated. She turned and was ready to aim her cannon at the others. She shot one scoop.

Vanellope: Woah! That’s one move, Beezy!

Vanellope was able to dodge it as fast as she could.

Gloyd yelled: Oh boy! Aah!!!!

Rancis: Nyeh?!(gasps) Oh no!

Rancis put the pedal to the metal, and avoided that giant ice cream scoop.

Rancis: Phew, that was close!

But Swizzle got distracted with his hair again in his eyes, so he tried to fiddle with it to calm it down, and move it away from his face, but he now noticed the ice cream scoop.

Swizzle: Oh no! Oh no, no,no,no-!

Splat!

Announcer: Ohhhh! A-La-Mode!

Adorabeezle’s fans cheered and applauded at the A-La-Mode.

Candlehead: Eee…(squints) he’s gonna be covered in whipped cream now.

Taffyta: I’m not even surprised.(licking lollipop) He was soo gonna crash.

Crumbelina: I’m not shocked. That was gonna happen.

After the race…

Swizzle parked his kart, and tried to get off the ice cream dripping on his clothes and hair.

Swizzle:(muttering in embarrassment): Ohh, so gross!

Gloyd came by, and with a hint of mischief in his eyes he said: So, about that bet?

Swizzle rolled his eyes.

Swizzle: Ugh, fine. I’ll go to the barbershop, but only because of this stupid bet!

Adorabeezle: Hey,(putting a hand on Swizzle’s shoulder) At least you tried your best. You gave it your best shot.

Minty walked up to him.

Minty: Hey, maybe you’ll now actually let someone see your face again. It’s actually your best feature.

Swizzle blushed and flushed a bit: Oh, uh… thanks, I guess.

Vanellope grinned, and nudged Swizzle on the shoulder: Well, what are you still doing here? Head to the barbershop!

Gloyd: Get a haircut! Trim your bangs!

Swizzle: Okay, okay, just calm down! I’m going.

Swizzle jumped onto his kart, started its engine, and sped off to the barbershop. He found and heard of the best one by some citizens, and parked there.

He hopped out and took a deep breath as he looked at the building.

Swizzle:(sighs) Okay, Malarkey. It’s just a trim.

He walks but hits his head with the wall.

Swizzle: Ow!

Then, the door opened, and a handsome, tall man with a long high ponytail, and his beard was faded slightly in his face you couldn’t notice. He wore a peppermint barber apron, and his eyes were brown and gold.

Barber: Are you alright, young man?

Swizzle looked up at him, and slowly stood up, rubbing his forehead.

Swizzle: I’m alright. Just, missed the door.(sighs) Maybe that bet had its reason.

The barber chuckled: A bet, huh? Well, come inside. And I might have an ice pack for your forehead if you need it.

Swizzle rubbed his head and nodded: Sure.(mutters)Thanks, I guess.

The barber led Swizzle inside, cleaned his chair and area, and after cleaning it, he patted the barber chair.

Barber: Hop on up here, kiddo. I can tell you need a trim. But, would you like a shampoo to get it fresh and clean? I’ll make sure to be gentle, and it’ll help make your hair easy to cut and style.

Swizzle: Umm… sure. I guess a wash sounds fine. But let the water be warm.

The barber chuckled and nodded: Not a problem, my friend. This way, please.

Swizzle followed the barber to the wash station, and sat down in the chair. The barber slowly removed Swizzle’s beanie, then lowered his head on the wash basin. The barber started the water, but made sure it was warm.

Barber: Perfect. Warm water.

Swizzle closed his eyes shut and relaxed. He had to admit, it felt nice to get his hair cleaned. The barber then left, and came back with a small ice pack and put it on Swizzle’s head.

Swizzle: Oh, thanks.(holding the ice pack)

Barber: No problem, kid. You hit your forehead hard on the wall. So, after the shampoo, tell me about the bet.

Swizzle: Fine.

The barber applied some shampoo. It had a nice scent. A scent of blueberry.

Swizzle: That smells nice. My friend Jubileena’s sister, Citrusella also likes that scent. And that’s my favorite scent too. Is it blueberry?

Barber: Indeed it is.

After the shampoo, he added some hair condition to make it shine more. And he then rinsed the hair conditioner, grabbed a towel, and towel-dried Swizzle’s hair.

Barber: Now let’s get back to the chair.

Swizzle stood up, towel still on his head and nodded. He now sat in the big barber chair, and it felt weird, but he managed to stay calm. The barber put a paper around his neck, and then grabbed a peppermint striped barber cape, and draped it over Swizzle.

Barber: Perfect! Now you’re all set for your haircut.(continues to towel-dry Swizzle’s hair) Man, your hair is a nice shade, but really split in the ends. And I’m guessing your bangs are in the way. Let’s pin them up.

The barber grabbed a few clips and a comb, and combed the bangs to the side, then pinned them with the hair clip. Now Swizzle could see his face.

The barber combed out each section, and carefully applied some detangling spray to get rid of any tangles. Then came time for the real haircut.

Swizzle’s body shook a bit, but he tried to stay calm.

Swizzle repeated to himself: It’s just a haircut, it’s just a haircut. It’s just a trim.

The barber removed the hair clips from Swizzle’s bangs, and now came the real deal.

The cold steel of the scissors hovered near Swizzle’s bangs. He swallowed hard, watching in the mirror as the barber positioned his fingers to measure the length before making the first snip. A small section of green hair floated down onto the cape. Swizzle tensed but kept still, his fingers gripping the armrest again. It wasn’t much—just a tiny bit.

Swizzle whispered in a muttering tone: Phew…

Barber: (noticing Swizzle’s reaction) So… Is this your first haircut in a while, little guy?

Swizzle: (nods slightly) Yeah… I usually just let it grow out.

Barber: (chuckling as he trims another small section) I could tell that. You’ve got some serious length here. But don’t you worry, I’ll make sure to keep it light. But it’s just gonna be shaping it up a bit.

Swizzle exhaled slowly. He kept watching the falling strands, trying not to think too much about them. The barber worked quickly but carefully, trimming the ends, shaping up the layers.

After a few minutes, Swizzle started to relax. The rhythmic snip snip was oddly soothing. He still wasn’t thrilled about this, but at least it wasn’t as bad as he imagined.

Barber: (tilting Swizzle’s head slightly to one side) So, about this bet—what exactly happened?(snipping the sides)

Swizzle sighed, embarrassed he replied: Well, I kinda… crashed in a race. Again. My friends said my hair’s getting in the way, and, well… here I am.

The barber smirked as he trimmed around Swizzle’s ears: Well, sounds to me like they were just looking out for you.(turning Swizzle’s head to the other side) You’re lucky to have friends like that, young boy.

Swizzle huffed: Yeah, maybe… but they didn’t have to be pushy about it. I’m not a baby, and I can take care of myself.

The barber chuckled.: Well, you know… friends are like that sometimes.

Swizzle glanced down, noticing the growing pile of dark green clippings on the cape. He fidgeted slightly, but before he could overthink it, the barber stepped back and brushed off some stray hairs.

Barber: (grinning) Alright, we’re almost done. We just a few finishing touches.We’re gonna make you fabulous, elegant, my young boy! You’ll be making eyes fall.(turning Swizzle’s head to the sides, then whispers) I promise, I’ll give you a great style. And you’ll also be turning heads!

Swizzle flushed a bit at the barber’s words. Could he actually turn more heads? He shrugged at the barber.

Swizzle: I already have heads turning. So I don’t think so.

Barber: Trust me, you may turn heads now, but sooner or later, more will turn towards you.

After some pomade, hair gel, and a bit of hairspray, the barber spun the chair for it to face the mirror. He removed the cape, dusted off Swizzle any hairs, and…

Barber: Voila!

Swizzle’s eyes widened in surprise. His hair was still his usual style, but instead, it was a bit shorter in the front, much more wavy, and had some shimmer to it that caught the light.

Swizzle: It’s actually… not that bad. My hair looks really good.

Barber: I told you, kiddo. You are handsome. Now, go out there and show everyone the stylish you!

Swizzle grinned with a giggle: Thanks.

With that, he grabbed his beanie, and left the barbershop. But he decided to not put his beanie on, and hopped onto his kart.

Back at the Random Roster…

The racers were chatting, when they heard footsteps approaching. And when they all turned, their jaws dropped when. They saw Swizzle’s new haircut.

Vanellope: Well,well, don’t you look dapper with this new do?

Minty: Wow. Your new haircut looks so cute!

Swizzle blushed: Thanks guys. Maybe you were right.

Adorabeezle: We know. And without the beanie, I’m surprised. It honestly suits you.

Swizzle smiled, and he actually felt more confident. And the barber was right, more fans turned their heads and screamed for his autograph when he passed by.

it’s fine!

love it! Done!
