Speaking of May she comes to join them, "Hey guys, Gonzales can't make it wanted me to tell you. Hi Siv, Hi Sylvia"

"Hey, May." A smile and a wave of a fish stick. "I was just talking about possible people to do videos with. Would you be interested?"

"Me?" May says stunned, she shoots a look to Sam for reassurance. WHile she likes Siv and Sylvia fine, Sam's the one she considers a real friend and can trust.

Sam nods. "You saw the video she did with me, right?"

"Sylvi, you have a smartphone, right? You could show her?"

Sylvi follows her look to Sam...then returns her attention to her fish sticks.

But looks up again at Sam's suggestion...and smiles. "Yeah. Hang on..."

Sam blushes a little. "Sylvi was really nice when she did me."

A few moments later, the video is keyed up and she's showing it to May. "It starts really simple, then we eventually got kind of glam with it."

"Wow," May says staring and forgetting about her fish sticks, "I .. i don't think I could ever look that good"

Another grateful smile to Sam. "Well, you were a really good model. And you learned quick."

"Well, you'd look different than Sam, but it'd be what looks best on you. Everybody's different."

"If you want, we could do it at your home? I can bring my stuff. That's what I did when we did Sam's video. That's her room."

"Yeah I've seen it, her room I Mean. SUrprised Odin let you in" May jokes

Sam nods. "And... I mean, I can do the basic looks my myself, mostly."

Sylvi bites her lip. "We...could go shopping for stuff for you, Sam, if you want. If you run out of what I left you. And yeah, the glam stuff is easier with help."

Siv says "Up to you, but so far Sylvia has a pretty good record, and you'd really be helping her out at the same time"

May says smiles "Lupita's gonna laugh at me, but.. sure. I guess why not? right?"

"It's true," Sylvi agrees with Siv. "I need content. YouTube is a harsh taskmaster."

"Lupita won't laugh."

Sylvi beams at her. "Great! How about..." And they schedule a time.

"She didn't laugh at me."

"Besides, she's next on my list to ask, I think."

The time goes well but the mention of Lupe

"I don't think you'll be able to get Lupita to go along. She's.. stubborn" May says

"Well, I wouldn't try to force her. But can't hurt to ask."

"So am I. But maybe if you did a punk look?"

"Well, it depends on what she wants."

Siv grins "I was kind of punk , " She plays with her streaked hair "Remember when it was all blue?"

"I do."

"I liked that! And anytime you want to play model, Siv, you just say."

"I was thinking of going back to it fully" Siv says "I let it grow out and touched it up, but ... it worked for me. Sam is the one who saved the hair that time" Thumbs up

May smiles "So is your youtube channel monetized yet?" To Sylvi

"Not really," she answers May. "I'm still getting followers. Sam's mom has sort of talked me through that part, but I don't know that I really completely understand how it works, entirely," she admits.

"Dyeing I can do." Thumbs up.

"At least kool aid or manic panic."

"Hey, Sam...I don't know that I'd want to do it...but if I were gonna dye my hair, what color would you think would be good?"

"Hm." She considers.

"Bet you would look good with those fancy fadey ones. Color at the bottom, but regular up top?"

"Like... purple to pink to blonde."

"Like a sunset" May chimes

"Yes!"

"Huh..." Sylvi pulls out a mirror and takes a look, trying to picture it.

"Ombre, right? That's what they call that fade-effect?"

"Mm Long as I don't try to sail into it" Siv says looking at Sylvi's head

"Sail into it?" May says confused

Sylvi laughs then cuts off when May speaks.

"Ombre, right."

"Well...yeah, like...sailing off into the sunset. Kind of like...um...daydreaming, right?"

She looks in the mirror again, then looks at Sam. "You could do that? And...it's be temporary?"
