It was a sunny and hot day in Skyworld for Pit and Palutena- today was their day off from protecting the world from Medusa and Hades
How will they spend their day off? Housecleaning of course!
Palutena woke up before Pit, with her hair in a large bun, ready to prepare breakfast.
Palutena yells from the kitchen: Wake up Pit! we have lots of work to do today!
Palutena can hear Pit's snore go undisturbed.
Palutena walks into Pit's room
Palutena: Come on Pit, we have lots of cleaning to do!
Pit continues to snore
Palutena uses her staff to lift pit off the bed, and drops him from three feet above the floor.
Pit: ow! What was that for!
Palutena: You can't just snore your way out of doing house chores you know.
Pit: eh he, I know.
Pit notices Palutena's hair, the bun attached being almost the size of her head.
Pit: Wow, you really mean business palutena, I've never seen your hair in a bun before!
Palutena starts to blush
Palutena: Yeah, it's not often we get time to tidy up the house, so I want to make sure nothing will
get in the way of our work! And by the way, it's way too hot out to keep my hair down.
Palutena: Now come on, lets go have breakfast.
Pit: MMMmm.. I hope it's waffles this time!
Pit's desires are quickly fulfilled as his nose picks up the familiar smell of his favorite breakfast.
Pit and palutena walk into the kitchen with waffles displayed on the table on a large plate
Palutena: Let me get us some plates first
Palutena reaches up into one of the cabinets
As palutena reaches up for two plates, her large bun begins to unravel
Palutena: Oh no!
The bun breaks free and elegantly spirals down her back
The green mane spreads back into it's long straight former length, the ends of her hair touch her calves.
Palutena: Eugh, that bun took me a while to make... So much for being out of the way.
Pit: Why not try a ponytail palutena? I hear that's a good way to keep it out of the way!
Palutena: I really don't like the look of ponytails, and after all,
my hair would probably still get in the way of some chores, it's just so long...
Pit: Maybe we could trim it a little!
Before palutena could say anything, Pit runs to his room
Pit: one second palutena!
Pit comes back with a long white sheet from his bed
Pit: come on lady palutena, lets give you a haircut! Our first task for today!
Palutena: Pit I'm fine with my hair right now silly, I like my hair how it is.
Palutena gathers her hair into her arms and runs her hands through it
It was heavy, and very thick. But It was also very straight and uniform.
Palutena: I've been growing this hair for many years, and I actually quite like how healthy it's been looking recently.
Pit: But palutena you've grown that hair forever! Don't you ever want to cut it?
Palutena: Pit, I'm a goddess, my hair is naturally thick and split ends are non existent, why would I ever need to cut my hair?
Pit: Um, I don't know, maybe because it's impractical and can get in the way?
Palutena: It's just this one day pit! I can just bare with it.
Pit: Oh come on palutena, Give it a try, are you scared?
Pit gives Palutena a mischeivous smile
Palutena: Pit are you saying you don't like the way my hair looks?
Pit: It's beautiful! But all that hair must be a struggle to maintain palutena, it just seems like it's too much hair!
Palutena: Well I'm sorry to say pit, but you're going to have to put that sheet away. I'm not cutting my hair.
Pit frowned and walked back to his room
Palutena grabbed her mass of hair and went through the process of putting it back into a bun
After about 5 minutes of constant effort, Palutena's hair is finally back into a loose bun, with the ends of her hair sticking about a foot out from the back of the bun
Palutena starts by washing the dishes from breakfast
Palutena starts to talk to herself
Palutena: Jeez I've never cut my hair before...
Palutena: I don't even know why I've grown it this long.
Palutena begins to ponder the thought of not having hair covering her back anymore
Palutena's loose and heavy bun begins to creep foward, and with it, the ends of her hair begin to creep to the front of her eyes as she washes the dishes.
Palutena aggresivly blows the hair from her face, but the hair refuses to conform, and goes right back to covering her eyes.
The heat of the hot spring day started to get to palutena. That and her hair.
Palutena: Pit! come back! And bring the sheet too!
Palutena could hear Pit frantically rushing back to the kitchen
Pit couldn't wait to finally have a chance to cut palutena's long silky hair
Pit came into the kitchen to see palutena sitting on a stool with her leg crossed over the other, and her hair in a messy bun.
Palutena: Actually pit, I don't think we need the cape, it's honestly way too hot.
Palutena: After all, that's why I'm cutting my hair off.
Pit didn't think he'd ever hear those words
Pit: well then shall we get started with the cut?
Palutena: Sure, but please don't call it the cut.
Pit starts to undo Palutena's messy bun
As the bun starts to unravel, Pit weighs the hair as it spirals into his hands
Pit: This is so much hair! How long have you been growing it!?
Palutena: Lets just say I've been growing it for longer than I've known you Pit.
Pit attempts to discreetly get a quick smell of her lucious hair
Pit could tell it was the smell of her ocean breeze conditioner, it smelled so fresh.
Palutena got more and more nervous as Pit prepared her for the chop
Palutena thought to herself, she was lucky to be capable of growing hair this long, should she really be cutting it?
Pit begins to comb out palutena's long hair, combing all the way from root to tip
The comb glided down her hair seamlesslesly as pit combed and combed, to make sure he would cut it evenly.
Pit: Hmmm, your hair is super thick, I should probably do this in sections
Pit sectioned out the hair from the back, and brought most of palutena's hair in front of her, and left a small section at Palutena's nape.
Palutena wished she could see what was happening behind her, all she could do was hope Pit knew what he was doing.
Pit: Alright! Here we go! Time to say farewell to all this hair!
Palutena shuttered, she couldn't believe she was about to get rid of one of her defining features.
Pit raised the large stainless steel scissors up to Palutena's neck, the feeling made Palutena flinch a little bit
Pit: How about here??
Palutena felt the cold steel at the top of her neck
Palutena:No! Lower pit! I don't want a bowl cut!
Pit lowered the scissors a little bit farther down her neck.
Pit: How about here?
Palutena thought to herself: Maybe I don't have to get it this short, maybe like a long bob... that way it can grow a little if I don't like it...
Palutena: Ummm.. maybe a litt-
Pit could barely wait to start cutting her hair
Before Palutena could say anything, Pit snapped the scissors shut
Palutena couldn't believe it had happened, for a moment she hoped that maybe her hair couldn't be cut under normal means,
but the feeling of her own hair falling lifelessly down her back was a very distinct and unforgettable feeling
The long 5 foot lock of hair remained bunched together as it hit the floor
Pit: First cut done!
Palutena: How short is it!?
Pit: Don't worry! You'll look nice! You'll see it when you're done.
Pit grabbed another section of hair, as it was pulled away from the front of palutena, she watched as that was the last time she would see that hair
*SCHHNKKK* Palutena heard as her hair was severed behind her.
At this point pit could start to see the back of palutena's right shoulder, not a common sight with palutena's long hair.
Pit eyed the hair in front of her right shoulder that had yet meet the hungry scissors
Palutena began to have second thoughts about cutting her hair, maybe it was early enough to quit? the only hair cut so far was beneath the rest of it.
Palutena: Um Pit, would you mind slowing down for a second?
Pit came around to the front of palutena and grabbed the rest of the hair on the right side of her head, which was in front of right shoulder
Pit: what do you mean?
Pit lined the scissors a little below her chin
Palutena put a hand up to pit in attempt to slow him down-
*SCHNN* SCHNN* *SCHNNN* The scissors attempted to chew through the mass of hair, but it was almost twice the thickness of a normal ponytail
*SCHHHNK* as the final slice seperated the thick mass of hair, Pit slowly walked and brought it around to the front of palutena and held it up in the air
Pit: Wow! look how long this is! It almost touches the ground!
Pit shook the long thick green hair in front of Palutena, and then let it go, dropping it on the ground in front of her.
The long uniform hair seperated itself once it hit the floor, never to be uniform again.
It pained palutena to see Pit playing with her hair, something she had been been taking care of and growing forever.
Palutena decided it was time to just give in and let Pit do his work, after all, it was just hair.
Pit continued to cut the hair that was now on her left side. But then Palutena had a thought:
Palutena: May I cut a little bit?
Pit was surprised by what Palutena said.
Pit: Yeah sure!
Pit handed the scissors to Palutena
Palutena grabed the rest of the long hair, and brings it in front of her left shoulder
Palutena raises the scissors up to the hair, just below her chin
Palutena waits a moment and looks down at the ends of the rest of her hair
Palutena begins to cut the hair
*SCHNN* SCHNN* *SCHNNN* the scissors struggled to cut through her ridicoulosly thick hair
*SCHNNNK* The scissors triumped over what was left of her lucious mane.
Palutena lifts up the hair and looks at it, she looked at it's perfect shine, and how uniformly straight it is, and then lays it on her lap.
Palutena hands the scissors back to pit
Palutena's hair was all short now, choppy but short,  the longest being in front, barely reaching her shoulders.
Pit: How about a little bit shorter in the back and we'll keep it this long in the front?
Palutena still in shock from losing something so close to her just says "Ye-Yeah sure."
Palutena's head felt so much lighter, and not to mention, a lot cooler too with the insulation of her hair being gone.
Palutena picked up the lock of hair from her lap and played with the perfectly blunt ends of it
*snip* *snip* *snip* *snip* could be heard from behind as pit evened out the hair in back of palutena
Palutena could hear Pit start to finish up as he came around to both sides of her head, cutting her hair at a slight downward angle, right below her ears.
Pit:Alright Palutena! You're all done!
Palutena looked around her, all she could see was green. Green on the floor, and green on her lap.
A pile of hair had accumulated around the stool she was sitting on, and she still had the lock of hair on her lap.
She picked up the lock of hair off her lap and let it go in front of her, landing on her feet then sliding off.
Palutena reached to feel her new hair
It was shorter than she had ever felt it to be before.
she shook her head to feel the weight of the hair gone, and instead the ends of her hair almost smacking her in the face.
she was also surprised not see hair trailing miles behind her, but the best part was feeling the cool breeze on her back and neck.
Pit rushed to his room and came back with a small mirror to show palutena.
Palutena looked at herself and started to stroke her hair
Pit: You look amazing Palutena! It really suits you!
Palutena: Thanks pit, you really did a good job, although I'm not sure this is quite my style.
Palutena looked at the floor covered in her own long hair, the same hair that used to cascade down her back, all the way down to her thighs and curve at the end.
Instinctivly, Palutena tried to flip her hair back, as her body hadn't adapted to the loss of her hair yet.
Pit: It must be nice not to have ponytails or buns anymore!
Palutena: Heh, yeah. I'll defintily miss the hair though.
Pit: Next time it gets that long can I cut it with clippers? That was a lot of fun!
Palutena laughed
Palutena: Oh, Pit, It's going to take many many years for it to grow to such a length again, but to answer your question: Sure.
Pit jumped for joy, he couldn't wait for her hair to grow back, just as much as palutena did.
Palutena: Alright, for our first chore... Let's get all this hair in the garbage...
Pit: Alrighty!
Palutena watched as Pit sweeped all of hair and dumped it in the trash, never to be seen again.
Palutena knew she would get used to her new cut, she would have to; her hair won't be growing back anytime back anytime soon.
This story took quite a while to make, but I'm pretty happy with the result, Like always, I would LOVE any feedback, and would love recommendations for whos hair to cut next :)
Sorry for any typos :s I tried

I have a request:
Do you think you can do a Shantae fanfic about Rottytops wanting to give Shantae a haircut so it would look just like her’s. Shantae refuses at first since her ponytail is a lethal weapon, but Rottytops offers Shantae a special whip for her to use until it grows back, and Shantae nervously agrees.
