Forever

Chapter 17

Keefe's POV:

Fitz had just hailed me, he, Dex, Tam, Wylie and I were going to have a 'boys night'. Oh, and prank the girls. Maybe kiss them. I cracked my knuckles and got to work.

~A Few Hours Later~

Fitz let us in through the backdoor. We snuck up to his room, and dumped our satchels on the bed. Elixirs, effluxers, and reekrods stumbled out. 

The next few minutes were spent hurriedly mixing things into shampoo, hiding reekrods and effluxers in clever places, replacing cosmetic elixirs with prank ones, and finally, hiding in the closet with an imparter rigged to record the whole thing. 

We were ready.

~Downstairs~

Biana's POV:

The girls and I finished our dinner, and rushed upstairs, toting plates of dessert.

"MAKEOVER TIME!" I screamed, Linh, Stina, and Marella cheered. Sophie groaned. We laughed at her, and I dragged her to the bathroom. I had my first victim.

"Do I have to do this?" Sophie whined as we forced elixirs down her throat.

"Of course." I countered, downing a few solutions of my own. Strange, they tasted a little weird. 

Suddenly Sophie shrieked, I whipped around and watched in horror as her air poofed out into an orange afro! 

Before she could laugh, Marella's skin turned purple, and her eyes red. Linh grew a mustache, Stina had bushy, teal eyebrows, and I... oh no. THEY DIDN'T. 

I screeched in rage and started tearing open cabinets, looking for the remedy I stored in case something like this ever happened. I was only met with cloud after cloud of stinky gasses and smells. 

Finally, Sophie cried, "I FOUND IT!" from the window seat. She rushed over, clutching the bottle like it would cure cancer. We chugged the contents, and our affects faded.

Fitz's POV:

I leaped us back to my room, just as we burst out laughing. Tears rolled down our faces as we struggled to stand.

"That...was...BRILLIANT!" Dex gasped, clutching his sides.

"Now we get to kiss them, right?" Wylie asked, sitting up. I nodded.

"Tonight."

~3 am~

Tam's POV:

We snuck onto Biana's windowsill. I gathered shadows, hiding us in plain sight. Fitz raised his hand and the latch slowly creaked open. 

We froze, making sure none of them had woken up. All clear. I slipped over to Biana's sleeping form. When we were all in position, Fitz nodded. Slowly, carefully, we leaned down...

"GET THEM!!!!!" Stina yelled, shooting out of her sleeping bag. The other girls followed, and *WHACK*

"THEY HAVE PILLOWS!!!!" I yelled, clambering away from Biana. She smiled, and I had trouble standing. Clearly, she was aiming for that, and swept my legs out from under me with her pillow. I hit the floor with a thud, and heard the others doing the same. 

The girls stood over us, arms crossed, pillows ready. (I needed some girl power)

"Out." Biana said. We scrambled toward the window, but not before being whacked one more time.

Sophie's POV:

I watched with a glare as the boys scurried out the window, tails between their legs. As soon as they were gone, we all burst out laughing.

"THAT WAS THE BEST IDEA EVER LINH!" Marella howled. It had really shocked us when the sweet hydrokinetic came up with it. But we were all in.

"That'll teach them to prank us!" I exclaimed, laughing as I slid to the floor.

"Yes, it did." Said Stina.
