Beatrice's blowwave

Beatrice flew out of the batcave chocked up with tears. She had never felt so devastated in her life, she really thought her and Norman were going to make a go of it, she knew she was in love with him already. " It's my own fault" she said out loud, "I should have known we weren't compatible, after all he is a noctule bat and I am a soprano pipistrelle, we like ducking and diving a bit more, his flight pattern is too straightforward for my liking". As she said it she knew it wasn't true, she loved his flying in a straight line, high overhead and his sexy narrow wings and she really loved the fact he was a naturally BIG bat. She landed on the nearest oak tree branch and began to wipe her eyes with her wing.
"What's up little one" said a booming voice. Beatrice instantly recognised the tree resonance and said "oh hello, I am sorry, I am a bit upset about my boyfriend, we have just split up " she replied. The oak tree was about to reply when Tina, one of the tiny teenage bats flew and landed beside her. "Hello Beatrice" she said. "I am doing a promotional leaflet drop for the new hairdressers that has opened up called Bat Bouffant, they do hair, nails, baticures and everything, they have 20% off if you go today" and with that she flew off. Beatrice looked at the leaflet thought 'oh what the hell, I'll go for it, I need something' and with that she said goodbye to the oak and flew off to the hairdressers.
As Beatrice flew into Bat Bouffant she recognised Deb Daubenton bat. Beatrice had always liked Deb, mainly because she admired her humility and sense of humour. Because Deb was a Daubenton, she had always had naturally very hairy feet to seize the insects as she skimmed over the water surface, but the other bats had made her life a misery with all kinds of pisstakes. They had called her names like 'yeti foot' and 'wig wings'cause they couldn't believe that the hair was all her own, amongst many others. "Hello Bea" Deb said, "have you come for a Bat Blowwave?" "yes"Beatrice replied. Then out of curiosity she asked "what made you set up the salon Deb?" Deb replied "oh you know, I have spent a fortune over the years trying to keep my unruly hairy feet in trim, so I decided to train myself and help out the other Daubentons, anyway Bea, what's all this I hear about you and Norman?" Beatrice's heart sank, of course the hairdressers is the second place to find out the gossip next to the chatting in the pub, she should have thought this through. Deb could see her face drop and said "I am sorry Bea, I didn't mean to pry, come on I will give you the works, bugger those male bats, lie back and be pampered" and with that she set to work....
