It was a day like any other and Theresa Smith was doing pretty well for herself. She had just finished reading a new book "Galactic tides 4" and was looking forward to playing "NotCraft" for a while. She had decided to treat herself and go to a nice cafe with "Galactic tides 5" in her arms. It was a nice little out of the way place, there wasn't anyone else there besides the barista and her at the moment and the barista was clearly busy with other things, but that was fine. She came here more to read than anything else.
It was as she sat down that she noticed a really creepy guy was standing right there. Right outside the cafe window, just staring right at her. What the hell? She practically flinched back and the really creepy weirdo's smile rose a little. But then he looked at her again and started frowning. What was with this creep?
He walked into the cafe and bee lined right for her. She was scared but his next words left her dumbfounded.
"You should make yourself pretty for me."
W-What?
"What?"
"You're not pretty, you should make yourself look good for me. I'm not gonna like you otherwise."
What the hell? How does anyone have this much arrogance?
"I don't intend to look pretty for you, you, you creep! Go screw yourself!"
The creepy fucking weirdo just shakes his head slowly back and forth.
"You should buy some high heels and wear them."
"Go fuck yourself!"
At this point Theresa was well and truly mad. This arrogant creepy weirdo had just walked up and said all, all of that! What the hell, who does that?!
He didn't say anything more and just walked away, shaking his head.
It put Theresa in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

The next day
Theresa decided to go shopping. It wasn't something she did often but, well, shopping could be fun right? And she really wanted to do something to take her mind off from that guy from the other day. No one had ever insulted her looks like that. Seriously, that man must be deranged or mentally ill.
She picked up some basic things, a nice shirt, a new bag, and as she was walking by, she saw some high heels.
No, no I don't need these. That guy was crazy, I don't need high heels. But, but it is on sale with a nice bag...maybe, just for the bag, I'll never actually wear them of course.
She finished up her shopping and went home with her new clothes, bag and pair of heels.
Dawn of a new day
Theresa was surprised at herself. She was outside for 3 days in a row, of her own free will, that had to be some sort of record. She wasn't really a recluse but she, she just didnt like going out all that much okay? Anyway, she had decided that she wanted to go to the mall, just to window shop. Not to actually buy anything per se, just see what's around, maybe grab a corn dog or something and then go home and play some more "NotCraft" and maybe some "Smash Sis's".
As she was walking through the mall, looking at what was on display, she saw the same guy again! He had, sadly, seen her first and was making a line right towards her with a weird casual intensity to him. Probably the kind you'd see in a horror movie villain or a serial killer. He stopped, far, far too close to her and looked her up and down.
"Better. You should work on your face and hair next."
"Y-You! What do you even mean by better huh?! You can just go away!"
"Your heels are nice, its nice that you wore them for me."
"...What?"
It was only now, as of right now, that she realized she had been wearing and walking around in high heels all day today. She was so shocked she didn't even have anything more to say before the man spoke up again.
"Maybe dye it blond too."
"Go away! I didn't wear these for you! I just, they just, they just feel comfortable okay?!"
For a brief second, the world screeched to a halt at the sheer bullshit of that lie. Even the creepy man looked like he was shocked that someone could be so shameless. He then merely shook his head and walked away again!
"It, it wasn't for you..." She called to his back as he walked away.
Theresa walked herself home in high heels that day.
Yet another new dawn arrives
Theresa was well and truly angry. That man, that man! He was so, so, creepy and weird and shameless and mean and rude! He was so rude! Who says that? Who says any of that huh? Huh? No one! She grumbled about it all day today but she was going to show him huh? Today was going to be a hair day. That creep had at least reminded her that she should really take care of her hair. After all, it had been a while since she had last got it done or done at all really right? Usually she just got it cut, but surely, a nice actual hair day would be fine right? Right?
She approached a nice little spa daycare/hair salon/makeover type place. You know, one of those all in one type of places that just seem to keep on expanding and expanding until they do a little bit of everything. It would cost a good bit of money really but it's not like she was hurting for that any time soon, well, not too much right? It should also be fine.
Theresa took a seat and waited and when her hair salon person (salonist?) called for her, she went and sat down in the chair.
"Oh, you have such nice hair! We have so many options and available things we can do with it, really pretty a cute doll like yourself right up!"
"...At least someone thinks it looks good..." she mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing! So uh, what's first?"
"Oh first we wash and dry and condition it and...."
And so the lady went on and went through the steps with her as her hair slowly got more and more, well, shiny for starters. After all that was done, the hair salon spoke up again.
"Woo, the basics are always a pretty great start! Now, hmmmmmm, what do you think of dyeing it? Maybe, a beach blond hmm? You'd look amazing with such a style mixing with your hair!"
"Uhhhh, I dunno, I don't think, I don't know if that's really for me..."
"Oh buy you'd look absolutely dazzling, are you sure?"
It, it wasn't like he'd be doing it for him after all! His words didn't matter! But, but if she looked nice, was there any real harm in it? After all, looking good, was a good thing right?
"S-Sure, let's go through with that."
"Absolutely!"
It wasn't long before all of the hair stuff was done and Theresa looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit, she was stunningly beautiful. The blonde hair, okay, maybe that was a really good idea. Good ideas can come from bad places right? There's no reason to think any deeper on it really. It is what is.
