After a few minutes, which undoubtedly felt like hours for both foals, Fred finally finished his job, which he considered a masterpiece considering how little he had to begin with. Tony took a few seconds to be prepared to see what his older brother had been able to accomplish. Having his hair so short was something new for him, it had been a long time since Rarity decided to leave her son's hair to grow long. Tony never complained about it. The colt never complained about having long hair, luckily it never got tangled up and it was easy to keep it out of his eyes. However, after the last trick of his older sister, now his hair was very short, too short for the little colt to feel comfortable. Fred had been trying for a long time to encourage his little brother, who had spent the last half hour sobbing. The blue haired foal appreciated the gesture, but that wasn't going to make his hair grow faster.

Once he was able to gather enough strength to finally look in the mirror, something he haven't done since that morning when his sister took him to the barbershop as their mother requested. Tony looked up, almost flushed from the effort to keep his tears, and smiled at his brother. Fred returned the smile. "Come on sweetheart, you're all a little man already." Tony nodded and, still with doubts, turned quickly, he thought it would hurt less if he did it quickly.

His mane used to be so long and almost waved in the wind, although there was no breeze. Tony only brushed his hair right after getting up and not once more in all day. He had never been careful with his hair and yet it always looked bright and vibrant, like with own life. Now, his hair was barely touching his back, his tips were unbound, rebellious, uncontrollable. With a single glance, all his fur and hair began to lose luster, earlier he was disgusted, but losing his long hair no doubt bothered him more than he could have expected. All those tears that had been holding for a while, suddenly came out without even giving him time to fully analyze the situation. Considering how he looked before Fred offered to fix his hair, he had done a pretty decent job.

Without losing a second and without looking away from the mirror, Tony turned to his brother's arms, without uttering a word and still crying. Fred hated to see his little brother so upset, he had always tried to keep him from losing his shine, for the first time in his life, he had not succeeded. Combining all the positivity that could, he tried to encourage Tony: "If you look at it from here it's like your old hairstyle and you look great !! Now even I myself want to have my mane that short, it must be very fresh in summer and besides-" . He got cut by the little one: "It's… it's not that bad…"

No doubt that answer caught the older one with his guard low: "Then… why are you crying honey?". Still sobbing: "I miss my long hair…". At this point Fred just kept quiet, smiling and caressing his brother's head, though not for long: "You know, you're going to flirt a lot." He got just what he was looking for, a small laugh between Tony's sobs.

In the distance, barely audible to the two foals, sompeny was trying to make up her error.

"M-mommy…" she hesitated. It's true that this wasn't the first time Mimi tried to make his little borther less loveable for her mother, she really wanted Rarity to get back with her father, and for some reason Tony was on her way to get her family back together. But the truth is, Rarity has never been so quiet after she messed up. Rares usually gets a bit red while shouting to her for a few seconds, then she breathes really deep and burry Mimi. This time was different, her mother haven't even looked at her since they came back from the barber's. "Maybe I really went too far this time", Mimi thought. Well, maybe getting your little brother a new hairstyle making him look pretty much like his father, who simply ran away after getting Rarity pregnant and making her remember everything that guy made them after everything she's doing trying to give you and your brothers the best of the lives is going pretty too far.

"Mom", there were no hesitation this time, only repentance. Mimi was really sorry for what she's done. Not like those other times she said she was sorry but nothing more far away from reality. But still no reponse.

Later, that night, Rarity spoke the first words in all day to her daugther, "Goodnight, sweety". Cold, it was so cold. That was the last time Mimi dared to mess with her little brother, not for him, but for her mother.
