You sat on the toilet lid with your towel wrapped around your shoulders. The smell of the dye stuck in your nose. Ruby stood at the sink washing her hands of the remnants of the hair dye that clung to them.

Whilst you sat there you clicked on the timer on your phone allowing the time to start counting down, to tell you when you needed to wash out the hair dye.

Due to Ruby regularly dying her own hair she offered to dye yours for you, and seen as you had wanted to change your hair colour for some time.

Once she had finished washing her hands she sat down on the edge of the bath.

"Now we just have to wait," she smiled.

"How do you do this so often? I feel like I'm going to choke on the fumes," you frowned.

Ruby laughed at you.

"You get used to it," she smiled, "The burning in your lungs becomes normal, which probably isn't good, I actually don't know what damage this does, but I can't imagine it does anything good."

You let out a sigh, "Could have told me that before you put death syrup into my hair."

"Death syrup?"

You shrugged your shoulders, not really know exactly why you had chosen that as the words that escaped your mouth.

"Well it is kind of a syrupy consistency and from the burning it is probably taking days off of your life. Nothing that has that smell to it ever does anything good to your lungs," You explained.

She shook her head laughing softly.

"You can somehow turn something normal into something so bewildering," she smiled, "But I guess that is why we are so close, you never seem to falter to be entertaining, nor do you have a problem with making me smile and laugh."

Her comment made you smile, "It's not like you ever can keep things normal and average, I don't think you being a werewolf will ever lead to us every being normal. Normality is a fantasy really."

Her expression was soft as she reached out to hold your hand softly.

"Who wants to be normal?" she laughed, "Normal is so overrated. We are happy with one of us being a werewolf and our death syrup."

You let out a giggle, "You are never going to let me drop the whole death syrup thing are you?"
