Ami couldn't be stopped. She was mostly avoiding all the monsters she could, only fighting what was necessary. Why you ask?
She was on a mission.
She had to seek out 7 very important objects. This wasn't a mission given by any of the higher ups, nor was it particularly dire to anyone but Ami. However, Sasha still needed these 7 objects, and there was no time to waste.
Once retrieved, she came out of the dorms with a small bag- the seven objects were placed towards the bottom, and a spare dress had been put on top, both as a decoy and because Ami really needed a change of clothes. When she returned back to the bunks, she set the dress down her own bed, and ran off towards the life labs. Where better to find a life hunter than their natural habitat?
Besides, if she was being honest with herself, she liked the labs. They felt meticulously habitual, and she appreciated that. Ami finally found Sasha somewhere near the minipet pens, and called out, "Sasha!"

The minipet lab was quickly becoming Sasha's favorite place, especially when she wanted to lose herself in her thoughts. Mundane actions, like feeding time, checking charts and cleaning pens, taking notes - these were usually mindless enough that Sasha could focus on sorting out her own thoughts and aspirations while actually accomplishing something.
When she heard her name called out, it took Sasha a moment to disentangle herself from her thoughts. A few dazed blinks later, Sasha was beaming at Ami as she set aside the clipboard she'd been carrying around.
"Ami! It's nice to see you - what are you.. what are you doing here?"
Needless to say, Sasha was all curious smiles when she caught sight of the bag that Ami held.

Ami skipped all the pleasantries, and set the bag down on a table near her. "Read all of these. By tomorrow. All 4,100 words." Yes, she was that into it.
Less brusquely, she said, "Cute shoes by the way."

Sasha peered into the bag. There were ... six? Seven. Seven books.
"That's.. I.. I can't read that fast!"
She pulled out the top book.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?"
Sasha glanced down at her shoes, a bewildered look on her face.
"Ah, thanks?"

"Oh yes you can!" she argued. It wasn't like she'd tried before or anything. Nope. Never.
Sighing, she leaned on the table, like this was a great work of effort to conjure up seven books. "Sasha this is Harry Potter. This is like my bible if I was actually religious." She looked up and said, "They're just the best books. Like they are. There's no disputing it."
TLDR; do it Sasha do it do it.

Sasha bit her lip as she looked at each book in turn.
They were huge. They were huge books.
And there were seven of them.
"I .. I mean, I want to read them, I just. Can we compromise?" Sasha looked hopeful.
"Like. One a month?"

"A week." Ami was not compromising when it came to Harry freakin' Potter.

Sasha could tell that Harry Potter was very, very important to Ami, so she dipped her head in a nod, a serious nod, despite the smile on her face.
"Okay, okay. A week. I'll.. I'll do my best." Sasha cleared her throat and set the books aside.
"Is.. is that the only reason you stopped by? I mean.. n-not to say that it's a perfectly good reason. It is, I'm just. You know. Wondering."

Ami noticed that Sasha was holding a clipboard and looked around. No hunters seemed to be rushing frantically, and the minipets at least LOOKED like they were holding up.
"Am I keeping you from something?" she said politely, "If not ... I was wondering if you found a hair salon yet?."

"I'm," Sasha glanced at her phone before smiling at Ami once again, "I'm due for a break now. Have you eaten? Ever since Jerry got stuck on the roof and Ariane found him, I've been packing two sandwiches."
Sasha rummaged briefly through a brightly colored, totally visually offensive tote bag, producing two sandwiches - pb&j - with a flourish.
"And.. a hair salon? Not.. not yet, no. I think.. if I decide, I'll just have to ask someone to do it for me. Someone here, unless I want to waste a day of leave getting it done." Sasha pursed her lips.
"I wish I could just cut my own hair. I used to trim my papa's hair, but cutting your own hair isn't so simple."

Ami was a little turned off by the idea of PB&J, but Sasha was offering it so innocently and adorably that Ami couldn't just turn that down. She took the baggy from Sasha hand and just held it for a moment, pulling up a stool from one of the wayward tables.
She took a hesitant bite, and was actually surprised to find it didn't taste half bad. "You cut hair?" Ami said, surprised once more by Sasha. She was just a bundle of surprises, wasn't she?

Sasha slowly peeled the crust off of the bread, setting it aside before she took a bite. After a few thoughtful, thorough chews she swallowed, lifting a finger.
"I cut my papa's hair," she emphasized, lifting her brows before she took another bite of the sandwich.
Chew, swallow.
"Why do you ask? All of the hair questions, I mean."

Hot damn Sasha was even adorable eating a sandwich. The way she peeled off the crusts reminded Ami of a kindergartner. There was a youth about Sasha that Ami appreciated somewhat.
At Sasha's question she responded, "Still looking to cut my hair, remember?" She looked up at Sasha, and had a thought. Rather nonchalantly, she asked, "Say, d'you think you could do it?"

"Oooh, you want me to cut your hair?"
Sasha set aside the half-eaten sandwich, looking insanely interested by the prospect of cutting all that hair.
"I... I don't know if I could do anything like... complicated. What did you.. how are you.. how short?"

Ami pulled her massive braid around to sit on her lap. It was nearly down to her thighs when she stood- that was just getting too long, even for her. She held her hand up right above her belly button and said, "Like here maybe? A bit shorter than yours? Nothing fancy ... just cut."
If Sasha was excited to cut all this hair, just wait until she saw it down.
Ami was ******** rapunzel.
