Chapter Text
June 15th 12:34 pm
I stand behind the clothes rack on the Try Not To Laugh set 'looking at the props'. I try to make it look like I need to find what to pick, but I already have an absolutely funny idea. Two words: Crazy. Fangirl.
Courtney was in the seat and I was next. I'm gonna pull it on her and hope I succeed.
Shayne was right before me, pulling the 'pizza place' joke on her. He laid on the ground with his feet in the air with a long messy red wig on, kicking them like a schoolgirl. "Hello? Pizza Hut? You're my favorite pizza place!" Courtney spits her water and laughs. "Dammit Shayne! You always get me with this!" Shayne just kept laughing as he walked to the back where I was.
"A classic, a true classic." I said, chuckling at the dirty blonde boy as I ruffled his hair. It's so, so soft, and freshly cut. He looked very good with this short hair. "I know, I know! I'm a genius!" He said with a beaming smile, pushing his head into my hand a bit. So adorable, reminds me of my brother.
"Ava! Are you ready?" Court questioned me. Oh yeah, I'm ready. "Yes ma'am!" "Alrighty! Let's go!" And with that I take a deep breath and run around the corner screaming. "AHHHH OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD! IS THAT COURTNEY RUTH MILLER FROM SMOSH?!" At this point I'm jumping up and down with a shocked look on my face. I blink my wide eyes SUPER fast at her. Please crack, Court, please...
Before I can say anything else, she spits her water at me, well pretty much on me. Damn, I was about to get to the good part. "Aveline! What the hell was that?!" Courtney is laughing so hard she starts to fall off the chair, I run and try to catch her. "Be careful! But it was pretty funny, wasn't it?" I chuckle and smile at her. "It was really funny. Good job!"
I was the last to go for Courtneys round, next was me. This is gonna be fun. "Okay, who's gonna make me totally not laugh first?" Some, well most, would say that I don't laugh easy. It's pretty true. I'm well known for not cracking when we play Try Not To Laugh. There are very few people who can make laugh; Shayne, Tommy, Courtney, Olivia, and mostly Damien. By God is that man is hilarious. Damien is one of my best friends, he and Ian are the two people I will tell any and everything to. I mean, I live with Damien for god's sake, of course I tell him everything.
"I'll go!" Keith yells out first. "Bring it on Keith!" I chuckle as I put water in my mouth. This should be fun....
1:14 pm
Okay, I got one person left, Courtney. "I'm ready for you Court!" I yell as I face the folding wall. "Oh you better be baby, you're in for it." Oh no....
Courtney runs around the corner with her phone in her hand, taking the photos of me with the flash on. "Ava! Ava! Is that you? How's Shayne? Do you like working for Smosh? Can I please have your number!?" She's copying my bit, damnit. I'm struggling so hard not to laugh...please stop.
Court can tell I'm struggling to hold it in. She stops jumping and looks me dead in my eyes, her green eyes wide. "Spit on me!!! Please!" FUCK! I spit my water at her not being able to hold it in any longer.
"Courtney! You stole my bit!" I started laughing so hard I started not making a sound. "It was a golden opportunity! I needed to take it!" She said crossing her arms laughing with me.
As Alex finished mopping up the water, we all gathered around the stool to do our outro. "Thank you everybody for watching! If you liked this video, please subscribe and hit that notification bell! As always it's an honor to be on this show and in videos with these lovely people. To see more of me, you can find me as TheAvaEffect on pretty much everything! Let them know in the comments that ya like me, please. Keep an eye out, I got a few more things I'll be popping into this week! Peace out!" I say as I hang on to Noah as he sits in the stool. I put up my two fingers making a peace sign.
2:05pm
I. Am. Beat. Let's go home, please. I run my fingers through my past shoulders, too long, hair. I really need to get my hair done again. I'm thinking purple this time? I usually get my haircut into a short wolf-cut. Super long hair is just too much for me to handle. I also usually get my hair dyed with different colors because my natural dark brown hair is boring to me.
Currently sporting a dark red low light? I've mostly had the same hair color for 3 years, I had light brown-almost dirty blonde hair for a few months last year.
I got a huge donation on my charity stream to change it back to this red. Which is fair, because I didn't dig the light color much either.
Fuck it, I got time, lets see if Megan is open at all today. I pull out my phone and call my salon.
Ring Ring,Ring Ring
"This is The Vault, how can I help you?" The guy on the other end of the phone answered nicely. This is definitely Jermey. "Hey Jerm! This is Ava, is Megan open today? I really need a cut and color. I know it's very very last minute, but I need it. It's been a long week my dude." I say with a smile on my face. Please be open, please, " Hey honey! She's open all day, her 3pm just canceled on her 5 minutes before you called! Do you wanna take that?"
"Yes! I'll take it!" I sigh in relief.
"Awesome! I'll let her know, see you in an hour!" "Thanks doll!" I end the call and open my message app. I should tell Damien that I'll be home later than him.

Of course bugga! See you later, can't wait to hear about it. Might be streaming, but I'll listen after
2:08pm
From:Cat-dad Dames
Oh, speaking of hair! I also went and got my hair done today! Can't wait to see yours😁
2:08pm
Oh yeah, it's Tuesday. He steams at 6:30 ish, I might not be home by then, But I'll be sure to get dinner for him. I wonder how much hair he got cut off today. I kinda liked how long it was, I hope it wasn't much.
To: Cat-dad Dames
Forgot it was Tuesday! Dinner? In-N-Out? Can't wait to see the hair!
2:08pm
I message him back like his opinion will matter, I'm getting dinner out and bringing it home for us anyway. I lock my phone and put it in my bag before opening my black car door and hoping into the seat.
I start my car and make my drive across town to get to The Vault. I take my phone out and put it on the mount that's on my dash, opening Spotify, I choose my day list to start playing. Laidback Sunny Tuesday Afternoon, interesting. I fuck with it.
2:52 pm
I open the door to the salon and walk up to the counter. "Oh my goodness! I missed you so much babes!" Jeremy practically squealed at me. He hops up from his chair and starts maneuvering around the desk to get to me. Jerm ingolfs me into a hug, he's 6'2 and very toned, I'm only about 5'4 and clocking in 179 pounds. I'm not skinny but I'm not very big either, I'm actually quite happy with my weight nowadays. I give into Jeremys hug, wrapping my arms around him. He's always given me 'older brother' energy.
"Oh my! I'm so happy to see you!" I exclaimed before letting go. "Now where's my favorite stylist?" I'm so excited to see Megan, it's been too long! "Yes, yes! Hold on." Holding.
"Meg! Ava is here!" Jeremy yells across the small salon as he takes a few steps in the direction I assumed Megan to be in. I chuckle slightly at the way he tried to get her attention.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Around the conor comes a light skinned lady about my age with a blue blouse and nice pants that were black and had thin gold strips patterned across them. Megan! "Oh my darling, Ava! I have missed you!" "I missed you too Meg! It's been too long, look at this hair!" I say as I give Meg a small hug. "Well, let's go fix that!" She takes my hand and leads me over to a station by the window on the right of the salon, I sit in the black spinny chair.
"What color are we thinking, babe?" My attention shot up to her already knowing what to say. "I'm thinking royal purple! It's a color I've always wanted to try. I also don't think I wanna go full head this time. Throw some silver highlights in, would ya? And let's not take too much off? I think I wanna keep it more 70s shag-like for a bit." Megan's eyebrows raised a little bit as she smiled in excitement. "I think that's going to look lovely! Let's do it!" I shake my head in agreement with a huge smile on my face.
I pull out my phone to check my messages.
From:Work Wife

2:36pm
Courtney sent a cute double heart at the end of the text. Awe.
To:Work Wife

From:Cat-dad Dames
How about some good ol Panda Express? I can't wait for you to see this sick new color I dyed my hair today also😊💜
2:41pm
Damien adds a smiley face and purple heart to the end of his message. Sending hearts isn't out of the ordinary for us, it's pretty normal, but he hasn't sent purple before. Is he finally catching on to it being my favorte color?
To:Cat-dad Dames
I think I can manage that. I'm dying my hair too 💜😲
3:16pm
I add a surprised face to the end of my message, along with a purple heart, hinting at my hair color.
It's crazy how we both get our hair done the same day with no plan. WAIT! No more blue Damien hair? I really liked that blue pop in the front of his hair.
I lock my phone and put it under the cape to watch Megan do her thing.
