Chapter 48 - Becoming The Luna; Part 2

After breakfast and a round of shenanigans, my mother and I started to head for the pack town, to visit one of the small hair salon shops. It was a nice walk on the beach. I noticed my mom was really careful in the path she took. What the hell happened while I slept? No point in asking her about it, since she's so focused on getting me ready to look the part of a royal Luna. For once, the sky was clear and the normal gloomy day disappeared. "Mom can we visit the sand bars later?" I asked. "No! I mean no, we don't have the time today" my mom said. Yeah okay, that wasn't suspicious. It was such a nice day, I wanted to do more than just what's on the agenda. I better let it go otherwise I'd have to deal with my moms wrath. I'm starting to grow more nervous as we approach the Water mirror. I never gone all out before for... well anything. We reach the water mirror and I'll never get over how cool it is. It's completely invisible but once you reach the barrier it send ripples all through the water mirror wall. It's really magnetic. I walk through it and I'm greeted by the entire pack. "Happy Birthday" the crowd echos. "Thank you" I replied with a bow. "Luna, this way!" the Omega Valentina states. She grabs me by the hand and pulls me towards her shop, where an entire squad of women are waiting to wait on me hand and foot. "This way, this way!" the ladies insist. "Okay, okay" I tell them feeling overwhelmed. I'm placed in a chair that has a soak tub where'd you put your feet in. Two of the ladies start washing my hair. Oh my moon goddess this feels so amazing. They're giving me a scalp massage and they run this shampoo through my hair. It's smells so good. It's smells like strawberries and cream. Once they finish up, they start towel drying my hair. Then I'm placed in a styling chair. "Hello Luna, I'm very honored to do your hair today, my name is Stacy". I nod in compliance. "Now can you tell me how you usually wear your hair?" Stacy asks. "Ummm normally a messy bun?" I answer more like a question, why am I so nervous? "That won't do at all" Stacy replies. "Do you have any hair styles you like?" Stacy once again asks. "I never have paid any attention to hair trends, I'm sorry. I feel like I'm in capable hands and you have the freedom to create whatever you want, just don't please chop all my hair off" Dahlia replies. "I would never dare. Your hair is a beautiful length, I love that it's so long. A small trim and then a styling, is that okay?" Stacy asks. I nod yes. "Dahlia I'll just be outside at the floral shop" my mom states. "Luna, shall we begin?" Stacy asks. I once again nod my head yes. I'm afraid to move. "Once we get started the women from the nail department will come give your nails a nice work up, while I'm styling your hair" Stacy says. "I've never had my nails done before" I say out loud. "Oh no, a Luna must always look flawless" Stacy says with a wink. I chuckle and I can tell I'm stating to become more relaxed. Stacy starts to trim tiny pieces of dead ends off my hair. I start to get anxious again as a women with a tub comes with two other assistants. Oh God this is all so much. "Greeting Luna, I am Sam, and this is Beatrice and Aurora. We will be taking care of your nails today" Sam said. "Hello" I shyly say back. Sam dives right in, to place my feet in that tub thing, and she starts to use this stone like thing to scrap the bottom of my feet. I takes everything in my power not to kick her, it tickles so bad. At the same time Beatrice and Aurora are working on my finger nails and that tickles just as much! "Luna, would you like a refreshment, please call me Ethel" an older lady asks. "I am a bit thirsty, do you have juice?" I ask. "Of course, what kind would you prefer?" Ethel asks. "Orange juice please" I say with a smile. "I'll go grab that" Ethel states. These women are making me feel like a goddess. "Hello Luna! I am Mary, if you need any snacks please don't hesitate to ask!" Mary says with enthusiasm. "Thank you" I reply back. I'm surrounded by these ladies and they look at me with such admiration, I hope I can fulfill my duties as their Luna. Ethel comes back with my juice, and she placed a very old fashion red and with swirled paper straw in it, so she could offer me sips as I'm getting fought over by the hair and nail ladies. I haven't seen one of these in forever! Mary comes back with a plate that has a variety of fruits some covered in chocolate, and some assorted cheeses. My eyes grew huge, I've never been the type to pass up food. "Yes!" is all I could say without moving. The older women chuckle at me. Mary starts offering me fruits and cheeses on a tooth pick so I don't have to move. Ethel and Mary kept me company while the other ladies worked their magic. "All done" I hear Sam say. Stacy stops working so I can look at my toes. "There beautiful!" I say beaming. "We've finished as well" Aurora and Beatrice declared. "Thank you so much" I tell them. I liked their work. It was a timeless, French tips with a shorter length. They didn't even add any acrylic or fake nails like I've seen my mom get done. "Enjoy your birthday" Sam says. "Luna, just a few more minutes and I'll have your hair finished. "Okay great!" I say. Thank God I'm almost done. I've been afraid to say something but my legs fell asleep awhile ago and it's moving up my ass cheek. A few more minutes go by and my mom comes back in, with a couple other ladies. I just glare at her. "Oh honey, you look amazing so far. That's my daughter, the Luna!" she says to the lady standing next to her. Damn, can she be anymore embarrassing. "Luna, your hair is finished!" Stacy says with extreme enthusiasm. "Let me spin you around" Stacy states again. I'm actually nervous to see what she did to me. Stacy spun me around to look in the mirror. I didn't see the sickly child I was, or the tattered teen I've become. I saw a beautiful young lady. Stacy styled my fiery red hair in wild waves and a braided crown. Stacy also gave me a braid that came down the back of my head. She also intricately placed small flowers all over my hair. I looked like a goddess and these fine ladies made me truly feel like one as well. "Thank you so much!" I say with a tear forming. She spins me back around and my mom is already sniffling. "You look amazing!" my mom said. I gently got up from the chair, I haven't got all the feeling back in my legs, so I shuffle and scoot towards my mom. "Whats wrong!?" my mom asked worried. "My bum fell asleep" I tell her. How ruthless can she be? My mom's laughing at me like a hyena! "Are you done mom? Come give me a hand" I stated. "Oh sorry, let's go, we have more to do!" My mom states. "Whar do we have to do now?" I ask her. "Well, your makeup of course!" my mom said. "This is Piper, she will be doing your makeup today" My mom said. "Nice to meet you Luna, I am honored" Piper states. "Nice to meet you" I stated. "Piper will be escorting us, to the mansion to do your make up" My mom said. "All hell" is all I managed and my mom gave me one of her ninja smacks on the back of the head. Is everyone against me today? Even Piper is laughing at me. We head out of the shop and it seems we spend half the day saying goodbye. My mom hurries us along to get back to the mansion and get caught back up, on her schedule of beautification torture.
