Once upon a time at the Watanomie house, Harmony was watching her favorite Disney Princess movie (take a wild guess on what it is). Stroke by stroke, Harmony vowed to keep her hair as beautiful as possible and to never ever cut it. Just then, Valentina came into the room.

"Do you have to be hogging the TV again?" she asked.

"I love this movie!" said Harmony. "I want to be just like Rapunzel when I grow up!"

"Dream on!" Valentina laughed. "Your hair will never get that long, even if you never cut it!"

"Quiet! I can't hear the singing!"

"You know how much I hate music, don't you!" said Valentina. "Just because mom and dad aren't here doesn't mean you have to boss me around!"

"Just go away!" Harmony yelled.

Once the movie was over, Harmony went up to her room and locked the door to keep Valentina away. And so she continued to brush her hair. But then, *SNAP!* her hairbrush broke in half!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

But of course, the shouting attracted Valentina. So after she banged on the door for a whole minute, her older sister angrily unlocked the door.

"What's going on in her- WAH-HAH HAH!" Valentina laughed. "You'll never get your 'Rapunzel hair' now!"

"I don't even know why I let you in!" said Harmony. "I can't leave my hair like this! It's going to get tangled! It's going to become messy! It's going to become sloppy! It's going-"

"Enough, already!"

"Alright, I need to go to the store to buy a new hairbrush! Stay here and don't do anything stupid!" said Harmony.

"Hey! You're not allowed to leave the house when mom and dad are away!" Valentina said.

"This is a hair emergency!"

At the local Walmart, Harmony ran up and down the aisles looking for the perfect hairbrush. She could only get one that her own hair agreed with. But after hours of hair brushing, nothing seemed to work. Harmony was about to leave, but she spotted something interesting. It was a map that read:

Map to the Cave of the Golden Hairbrush

Only for people who love their hair more than anything else!

"This is perfect!" Harmony exclaimed. "I'll bet this will make my hair grow as long as Rapunzel's!"

Harmony paid for the map and started to run outside.

"At last! I'll be the first real-life Rapunzel!"

"Wait!"

"Huh? Who said that?" asked Harmony.

"I did!"

Harmony looked down. The map that she had bought now had a face!

"AHHH! Who are you?!"

"I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map!"

"Yes I know you're a map, but who are you?"

"I am Pam the map!" said Pam. I just wanted to warn you that if you seek the Golden Hairbrush, you need someone to go with you. For it is impossible to make it on your own!"

"What?!" Harmony cried. "I don't have anyone reliable to take with me on this journey!"

"You don't have any siblings?" Pam asked.

"In my dreams, no. But in real-life, I have my one younger sister: Valentina."

"Why won't you let her go with you?"

"Because she hates me! And I hate her!"

"Well," said Pam. "I guess you'll just have to have ugly hair for the rest of your life..."

"No, wait!" said Harmony. "I guess I could convince her somehow..."

"That's the spirit!"

"C'mon! I'll take you home!"

When Harmony went back inside, she didn't see Valentina at first. After some looking around, Harmony found her sleeping in her very own bed!

"What are you doing in here!!!" screamed Harmony.

"Gah!" Valentina shouted. "Aw man, you ruined my awesome dream!"

"Did it involve you being adopted by aliens named QWERTY?"

"No, I became president and banned music in the whole universe!"

"Enough!" Harmony said. "Why are you in my bed and not in yours?!"

"Because your bed is more comfortable than mine!" said Valentina. "Anyway, did you find a new hairbrush? I'll bet you didn't!"

"You're right, I didn't! But I did find this treasure map to the, uh, 'Golden Earplugs'!"

"Why would you want some earplugs?" asked Valentina.

"They're going to be for you!" said Harmony. "Because I'm going to help you get these earplugs so that you don't have to listen to music ever again!"

"Why are you suddenly being nice to me?" said Valentina.

"Because I feel sorry for you, that's why!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Where do we go?"

"Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?" asked Harmony.

"Uh, the police?"

"No, the map!"

"What map?"

"This map I have right here!" Harmony replied. "It says to get to the Golden Earplugs, first you have to go through the Shampoo Swamp, then you have to make your way into the Forest of Locks, and that's how you get to the Cave of the Golden Hairbru- uh, I mean Earplugs!"

"Huh?" asked Valentina. "How come all the places we visit are hair-related, huh?"

"I guess they couldn't come up with anything else!" said Harmony.

"Then let's get going to those earplugs!"

"Right! So remember: Swamp, Forest, Golden Earplugs!"
