《Seeing Double》31

"TOBIN." I scream when I see my reflection in the mirror while drying off after my morning shower.
"What's wrong?" Tobin asks after rushing into the bathroom.
"Who did this?" I ask.
"I have no idea Astrid." Tobin asks.
"I'm gonna fucking strangle whoever it was."
I finish drying off, put on my clothes, wait for Tobin to do the same, then the two of us go to the breakfast room. When we enter the room I realize we are the last one's down for breakfast so this should make this a lot easier.
"HEY." I shout getting everyone's attention.
"For fuck's sake." Kelley says and shakes her head.
"Which one of you fucks put hair dye into my shampoo and turned my hair fucking black?" I seethe.
No answer.
"WELL?" I shout.
No answer again
"Well I better not find out who it was because if I do I will fucking ruin you."
"I don't see what the big deal is. It's just hair." Allie mumbles.
"Oh bitch." Kelley says then she walks over to me.
"The big deal Ms. Long is that I had stage four Leukemia when I was 14 and all my hair fell out. It took me years to get my hair back to what it once was and now it's fucking ruined because somebody decided to put fucking black hair dye in my fucking shampoo. So yeah, that's why it's a big fucking deal you......" I say and try not to get emotional or say something I'll regret.
"Come on." Kelley says and intertwines our hands. "Let's go."
Kelley then leads me out of the meal room, out of the hotel, and into one of the rentals. My twin drives for 20 minutes then she pulls up to our favorite diner in Atlanta. It's a hole in the wall, but the breakfast is amazing.
"O'Hara twins." The longtime owner says when we step inside.
"Hey Mags." My twin and I say in unison.
"You two sit down and I'll get your food started."
"Thanks Mags." Kelley says.
Kelley and I sit across from each other in a booth then Mags brings out a pot of coffee, 2 cups for the coffee, 2 glasses of Apple juice, and 2 waters.
"Thanks Mags." I say.
"Of course. Your food will be out soon." Mags says then she leaves.
"It was Allie wasn't it?" I question.
"Yeah." Kelley says.
"Well she's fucked."
"How bad are you getting her back?"
"She's gonna look like a smurf with green hair when I'm done with her. I may even cut her hair or I may hide her training shit so she has to run...I haven't decided how bad I'm gonna get her."
"Here you ladies go." Mags says as she approach's the table.
"That was quick." Kelley says as we make room to set the plates down.
"You girls have priority." Mags says then she puts my plate in front of me. "For Astrid we have the Astrid special..and for Kelley we have the Kelley special."
"Fuck I missed this." I say and open my silverware.
"Don't be a stranger again." Mags teasingly says.
"Yes Ma'am." Kelley and I say.
"Enjoy girls." Mags says and heads back to the kitchen

"How do you eat that much?" Kelley asks and points to my plate.
The Astrid special is 4 pancakes covered in syrup, 3 eggs sunny-side up, 4 pieces of bacon, a lump of hash browns, and a biscuit with gravy on it.
"I'm bigger than you Kelley." I say then take a sip of coffee. "I have more person to feed."
"Right." Kelley says sarcastically.
"I don't even know what your eating." I say.
"It's good as fuck." Kelley moans.
The two of us dig in to our breakfast and eat in silence because the food is bomb as fuck.
"I'm so glad we don't have training today." I say after clearing my plate.
"Same." My twin says.
Kelley and I finish up our coffee's and pay for our breakfast then get back in the car and head for the hair salon.
"Put your hood up." Kelley says after we park at the salon.
I do as my twin says and put my hood over my head then the two of us get out of the car and walk towards the hair salon.
"Hey Sasha." Kelley says as we enter the hair salon.
"Hey Kelley...and Astrid." Sasha says.
Sasha was our Hair lady growing up and I guess Kelley's stuck with her while I was in Germany.
"Long time no see." I say and hug Sasha.
"Nice to see you again."
"You too." I say then sit in the chair Kelley points to.
"So one of our teammates decided to prank Astrid and did this." Kelley says then she pulls the hood off my head. "Can you fix it?"
Sasha is the person who helped me with tips to grow my hair back and she also fitted me with a wig so it wouldn't be noticeable to our class mates.
"Of course." Sasha says then she looks at me. "I assume you want your natural hair color back?"
"Please." I beg.
"Let me work my magic." Sasha says.
Sasha spins me around then I relax and talk to the hairdresser while she goes to work fixing my hair which takes ages.
"And...Finished." Sasha says then she spins me around and shows me a mirror.
"Damn Sasha." I say and look at my hair that looks as good as new. "You are a miracle worker."
"I know." Sasha says smugly making all of us laugh. "Now what color dye do you want?"
"Huh?" Kelley says.
"Oh you better be getting this teammate back. You and I worked hard to get that hair the way it is."
"Green please." I say.
"Now you're talking." Sasha says and hands me neon green hair dye. "Just put it in her shampoo and you're good to go."
"Will do." I say
"How much do we owe you?" Kelley asks as I open my wallet.
"You're good to go." Sasha says causing my twin and I to look at her like she's crazy. "I remember how hard you worked to get your hair back so give me a hug and go prank that jerk."
"I can do that." I say.
I stand up and hug Sasha then grab the hair dye before Kelley and I head to the car. Kelley drives us back to the hotel then we head to Jill's room and deliver the keys back to the head coach. The two of us then head to Kelley's room.

"Allie's your roommate right?" I ask.
"Yeah." Kelley says. "And no I didn't know she was going to prank you."
"I know." I say as we get to Kelley's room.
The two of us walk into kelley's room and find it to be empty so I go into the bathroom and grab Allie's shampoo.
"Kelley her shampoo is green." I say. "Perfect."
I dump out Allie's shampoo and replace it with the green hair dye then put it back where I found it. I then grab Kelley's tube of icy hot and walk back into the bedroom part of the room.
"Where's her underwear?"
"2nd drawer." My twin says.
I open the 2nd drawer and put icy hot in all of Allie's thongs and bra's then I shut the drawer before I head back to the bathroom and place the icy hot where I found it.
"See ya Kelloggs." I say as I leave.
"Bye Strides." Kelley says then she returns her attention to her computer. "HOPEY."
I chuckle to myself then leave the room and head to mine and Tobin's room. As I'm walking I pass by Allie and Alex. When Allie see's me she gulps, but I walk past her and pay her no mind. I continue on walking and eventually get to my room.
"Boo Bear?" I question after I lock the door to our room. "Boo Bear are you in here?"
I walk further in to our room and see Tobin watching something on her laptop. I grab one of the shirts from the floor then throw it at my girlfriend which startles her.
"Fucking hell." Tobin says and catches her breathe.
"So how do you like my hair?" I ask as I lay down next to the forward.
"I'm very happy it's back." Tobin says as she plays with it. "Black didn't suit you."
"No it did not."
"Are you okay?" Tobin asks as she strokes my face.
"I'm...I don't really know what I am right now to be honest." I admit.
"Well what's going through your mind?"
"Well...I want to punch Allie in her face, I'm pissed that you and everybody else had to learn that I had leukemia, and I'm pretty sure I scared Mal half to death."
"Mal actually asked me to text her when you get back, but we have a tactics meeting so let's go." Tobin says.
The two of us head down to the team meeting and the moment I get into the room Mal tightly hugs me.
"Well hello to you too." I say and hug the young forward.
"Are you okay?" Mal mumbles into my chest.
"Honestly no." I admit. "But we have a meeting so we can talk later."
Mal detaches herself from me and goes and sits down across the aisle from Tobin and I
"ASTRID." I hear Allie scream when she walks in the room.
"Payback's a bitch." I say as I face away from the midfielder.
"Oh my god your hair's green." Pinoe says while the team subtly laugh.
"And she put fucking icy hot in my thongs and bra's." Allie huffs so I face her.
"You're lucky you aren't a smurf with green hair right now." I say.
"My prank wasn't even that bad." Allie says in her fucking whiney voice.
"Bad? You don't think your prank was that bad?" I rhetorically ask.
"Do not blow up." Tobin whispers so I take a deep breathe.
"Think about what you did Allie." I say.
"I just put hair dye in your shampoo." Allie states.
"Yes, but in doing so you could've ruined my hair."
"How?"
"Allie you are a fucking idiot." Kelley says.
Guess she's mad too.
"What? How?" Allie asks so I look at Kelley
"Go for it." My twin mouths.
"Allie I had stage four Leukemia when I was 14. The Leukemia was so bad that I had to have chemotherapy every two weeks for a year just to beat the cancer. I had to wear a wig all throughout high school because my hair didn't grow back correctly. During my junior and senior year I had to get hair transplants and other shit to get my hair to where it is today...and you almost fucking ruined it." I say.
I'm then hand a tissue box from Ali who's sitting in front of me.
"Because of your idiotic and petulant prank today the whole team now knows I had Leukemia...not even Christen knew about my cancer. I don't know if you realize, but Kelley and I were gone for 7 fucking hours because I had to get my hairdresser, who helped me get my hair back in high school, to fix YOUR fuck up. Hell we were gone so long Kelley went and got us lunch that we ate with our hairdresser then continued for a couple more hours before she got it back to what it is now."
I now use one of those tissue's I was given to wipe the tears from my eyes.
"My hair is my greatest achievement because everyday when I feel it I am reminded of the war I won to get my hair back to where it is now...You are so lucky we have game tomorrow otherwise you would be a smurf with green hair, your bed would be full of itching powder, and your gear would be at the bottom of Lake Lanier...Next time you want to prank me do something to my clothes, my training gear, or even my cars, but touch my hair again and I will fucking ruin you."
"Holy shit." Someone mumbles.
"We can do the line up at dinner. You guys are free to go." Jill say so I quickly exit the room and take the stairs up to my room.
Once in my room I start packing all off my clothes into my suitcase.
"What are you doing?" Tobin asks as I keep packing.
Didn't hear her come into the room.
"I don't know." I say then Tobin tackles me to the bed.
"No." My girlfriend says.
Tobin then tightly wraps her arms around me.
"Let me go." I say and weakly push on my girlfriend.
"No."
"Please." I beg then sniffle.
"No."
"Tobin please."
"I'm never letting you go." Tobin whispers then she kisses my head.
That's all it takes for me to burst into tears.
Tobin relaxes her hold on me then I put my head on my girlfriends chest and get all my emotions out.
"I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry." I say between sobs.
"It's okay baby." Tobin says and plays with my hair. "You're safe now."

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
