3rd POV

Everyone's eyes and mouths are open.

Riku had revealed that him and Ryuu and Lily were going to spend Christmas at a cabin. But the best part was everyone. And I mean EVERYONE Was also invited. With Riku saying,"There's more than enough room for y'all."

The cabin was split into 2 when it comes to bedrooms. The right side of the cabin is where the boys "dorms" are and where they sleep. And the left is for the girls.

Yume can't help but to smile.
The gang had decided to go awhile before sunset. So they would be able to stay up late and just.... Talk.

By the time they got there/here it was basically already night. The girls had decided to just hang out and talk in their hallway/part of the cabin.

The girls all basically wore the same pajamas. Big baggy shirts. But whatever bottoms.

Lily sits in front of a long mirror as Brec messes with her hair. Moving it in certain places and even tieing it up.

"Have you ever tried short hair?"
Brec says.

Lily slowly and softly nods her head.
"Yeah.... But my father would never allow it."
"Why?"

Lily pulls a part of her hair that's usually in front of her ear behind it.
"There's usually an earpiece there so he can tell me what to say and do. He never let me do anything with my hair so it would stay hidden."

Yume's ears perk up.
"Oh right. Ryuu said one time that he tried to pick up that exact same piece of your hair but to slapped his hand away."

Lily nods her head.
"Mm--hm. So he wouldn't see it."

"Well you know what Lily!"
Brec starts.

"Your father isn't here now. And something tells me you won't see him for awhile. So I say, we cut your hair whichever way you want!"
"Really!?"
Lily replies. Her eyes and whole body perking up.

"Really."
"Right now!?"
"Right now."

Koharu giggles. Lily turns to her way confused.

"What is it Koharu-Sama?"
"It's just--You sound like a child Lily-Chan."
"Well technically I still am."

All the girls except Lily share confused glances. Mahiru slowly opens her mouth.

"Umm.... Lily-San.... How old are you exactly?"

Lily looks down.

"Guess...."
"Well we thought you were probably around our age. 14."
Yume says softly.

Lily gives herself a small soft smile. She looks at the others.

"Really? I'm actually 12. I'm not even a teen yet."
"So you're still in your first year of middle school?" Yume says
"I would be if I even went to school. My father never really cared about education. I wasn't even home-schooled. So I guess I don't really know anything."

Lily looks at them and gives the girls a gentle smile.

"Can we just.... Talk about this later please....?"

The girls slowly nod their heads. Brec changes the subject very quickly.

"So! How would you want your hair."
"Well.... Do you know an anime character named Kakehi Sumire?"

Brec perks up.
"Yeah! The class president in Boruto right!"
"Mm-hm! I've always wanted hair like hers. I want my hair to be something like that but only enough long hair for one braid."
"Got it! I need a picture though."

Brec hands Lily her phone and chooses a picture of Sumire.
After Brec had finished the end result was Lily's bangs still being the same, but below that her hair was now different.
(Lily's new design will come out soon.)

The girls smile at Lily's new look. Happiness swirls in Lily's chest as she quickly turns around and gives Brec the biggest hug.

"Arigato Brec-Onee-Chan."
