Pippi II, Date Night Prep
The nice guy with W.E. was nice enough to give Pippi an address. Her mom's handler arranged for a car in which she could carry everything she'd need - which is significant. According to her source, there's a lot to do.

Pippi, with a backpack on her back, and a beauty case in hand, moves up to knock on Maria's door.

Maria was actually home and doing some chores. She wasn't exactly June Cleaver or organized. Today she was at least making an effort to clean up a bit.

The knock at the door was a surprise. Her rent was paid so it couldn't be the landlord.

Maria opened the door. "Can I help you?" she asked the blond standing there. In her head she could hear Bruce admonishing her for not looking to see who was there before opening the door.

	Pippi shakes her head. "This is the address I was given. He assured me that you had a date and you needed to be gotten ready. I'm Pippi Peppers. I know I'm just a beauty school student, but I assure you, I'm qualified." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria's eyes narrowed. "Who sent you?" Maria asked. This had Thomas written all over it. "I assure you, I don't have a date." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yes, this was definitely Thomas' doing. Okay, she could play along. Just to show him that this didn't bother her like he had been planning on. "Sure, whatever," she said and opened the door wider to allow the girl in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was going to kill Thomas the next time she saw him. Or give him the noogie or wedgie of a lifetime. Probably both. "I guess the kitchen sink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi nods, moving to the kitchen and starts setting her things out on the countertop, and sets to locating a suitable chair. "Obviously this would be easier in a spa or shop, but we can make due." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope, not a clue. But he seemed pretty well connected, so it might be an actor or something." she comments, off hand, while testing to get the water the right temperature, preparing a mud mask first since it needs to stay on the longest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria just hated to think what kind of guy Thomas had set her up with. Of course this was a clear indicator that she needed to find a guy. Otherwise Thomas could keep doing this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2012-11-30 12:18 am UTC (link)
	The treatment doesn't include seaweed wraps or deep tissue massage - possibly only because Pippi didn't bring everything she could have. What there is is extensive enough - mud mask, skin treatment, scented shampoo, conditioner - and whatever her deficiencies, she's actually quite good, spa quality anyway, at this.

	"It shouldn't, not as much as a full spa treatment, anyway. But when we're done with your hair, we still have your nails, clean up the mask, and do your make up. Maybe another hour to do everything right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-11-30 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Maria said. That didn't sound too bad. It was better than hearing her say a few hours. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Really, other than the pretty mindless small talk amidst all of it, similar to what you'd get in any salon, really, its not that bad. She's good at what she does, and knows her beauty products. She does spend quite a while working the lather into Maria's hair, making sure she's properly washed and conditioned, then washes everything out before getting to the drying and styling while its still a little damp.
