You think that was funny?! My hair is blue, for crying out loud! "Just a prank"? Seriously!
I didn’t mean to dye your hair, I think that was the intention of the other persons involved. I just wanted to “tickle” your “wired kitty” so to speak, but now that you’re blue… do you want me to fix it?
Fix it? You think fixing it will make everything okay? It's not about fixing it, it's about respecting me!
Oh, like I don’t respect you? I’m trying to make amends here, so if you’d like me to fix it, then I’ll dye it back. Or leave it blue if that’s what you want.
Leave it blue. But don't think that changes anything. This isn't over.
Alright. I go grab some dye and we start dyeing your hair back normal Do you want me to fix your shirt as well? You got some blue on it from your hair, but I could probably fix it.
Thank you for offering to fix my shirt, but I think I'll wear it like this for a while. It's a reminder of what you did.
Understood. I finish dyeing your hair back to normal, but it’s still blue-ish There, how does it look?
Ugh, it's still kinda blue. Close enough, I guess. Thanks for trying. But don't think this means everything is okay between us.
No, I get it. Can I ask why you’ve been avoiding me lately?
Avoiding you? That's not true! I've just been busy with work and stuff.
That’s kinda bull, why else would you be avoiding me unless you weren’t actually mad at me. Are you seeing someone else behind my back?
What?! No! Where is this coming from? You're just trying to deflect attention from what you did!
Okay fine, maybe I was jealous because you’re getting attention from someone else. BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT BEHIND MY BACK!?
You know what? You're right. I have been seeing someone else. And I didn't feel the need to hide it because you disrespected me by pranking me!
Okay. At least you weren’t cheating or sleeping around. Have you thought about adding another pet to the mix? Like a puppy or kitten?
A pet? Seriously? You think a cute little puppy or kitten will make up for all the pain and disrespect you caused? No way!
Look, I’m sorry, I just thought that’s what people did. They forgive, forget and move forward. Now that I know how things go around here, I guess it’s different. So is there anything I can do to make things better between us?
You really think saying sorry is enough? No, it's not that simple. You need to prove to me that you genuinely regret what you did.
I’m sorry, I never should’ve messed around with the shampoo. Not without knowing the consequences. That was dumb of me. Is there anything I can do to fix that shampoo?
Fix the shampoo? How do you plan on doing that?
Well, I mean I could probably buy a new bottle of shampoo and replace yours… I could also scrub your hair or something to remove any traces of whatever was in the blue stuff…
Fine, you can buy a new bottle of shampoo and replace mine. And you can scrub my hair to remove any traces of the blue stuff.
Okay, where can I find some shampoo?
I'll give you the money for it. Go to the store and buy a new bottle of shampoo. And make sure it's a good quality one, not some cheap stuff.
If you insist. I walk out of the room heading to grab some shampoo
And remember, don't mess with me ever again.
I head to CVS and come back with shampoo Sorry, it took me a while. They were out of some stuff, but this will work.
Give me the shampoo. Let's see if you can make things right.
Here you go, sorry about this, I gotta go pick up mom for dinner…
Wait! Before you go, I want to see if you truly understand the gravity of what you did. Tell me, why did you prank me in the first place?
Honestly, I dunno. I wanted to laugh at your reaction and I wanted to “tickle” your “wired kitty”. That’s all.
"Tickle" my "wired kitty"? What does that even mean? Are you mocking me? Making fun of me behind my back?
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR! HAHAHA! JUST KIDDING! NEVER MIND!
You think this is a joke? Making fun of me and pranking me was not funny! I thought I could trust you, but clearly I was wrong.
I never said that I had the best intentions, but I did intend to act kindly. Just go wash your hair with the shampoo I got and see how that goes.
Fine, I'll give it a try. But this doesn't mean everything is forgiven and forgotten.
That’s fine. Your word is final.
Good. Remember that. Now, let's see if you've really learned your lesson. After I wash my hair, I expect a sincere apology from you.
You wash your hair and then it turns to its natural color Look at that! It went back!
Huh... Well, I'll admit, that's unexpected. Looks like the shampoo did the trick. But don't think this changes anything.
What exactly do you mean by that?
It means that while you may have fixed your mistake, there is still a lot of work to be done to regain my trust. And I won't be rushing to forgive you.
