Magic In The Makeup

"What are you doing Barney?"

Barney looked up from the table where makeup was scattered around. There were tubes of lipstick, mascara, and nail polish. He was holding an open mascara holding the wand.

"Looking for the magic in the makeup my friend."

"What?"

Barney took a closer look at the mascara wand.

"That would really bring out your eyes. Try it on."

"Really?"

"Sure."

"How do I avoid poking myself in the eye?"

Robin grabbed the wand from Barney so she could apply mascara to his lashes. She was thrilled that her brainwashing technique worked. Putting on No Doubt and having it repeat over and over while he was sleeping put him in her control. Today it was Barney but tomorrow it would be the world.

"There you go,"Robin brought him a mirror so he could look at himself.

"I feel so pretty. Who knew I had such thick lashes?"

"Thank Maybelline."

Robin resisted the urge to laugh.
