"Psst!" I turned to see Dex holding up a bright green elixir. "What's that one for?" I whispered. Dex grinned, showing his dimples. "Well, you weren't with us yet, but we pranked Fitz and turned his hair green once," Dex explained. "But this one will turn both his hair, eyes, and skin bright green!" I smirked. "I'm glad Sophie recruited you too," I said, tugging my bangs over my eyes instinctively, but seeing the strands of ice blue in my hair made me blow it away. Luckily, the silver hadn't been changed, or I may have actually carried out my threat to Keefe.

"But how are you planning to set that up?" I asked. Dex's grin grew even bigger. "I'll either slip it into our deserts or I'll put it in his shampoo. Either way will work out!"

"You're an evil genius," I said. Dex laughed. "Also, taking in your suggestion, Keefe will not be expecting it tomorrow morning. And if Sophie sticks to the plan of staying in her room until late morning, Keefe won't be able to shower until she gets out!" He winked one of his periwinkle eyes.

"Dex!" Sophie whisper-yelled. We both whipped our heads in her direction. "I set up Biana's pranks. She will not be pleased tomorrow morning." She smiled. "And the backup ones are set up too, so they might end up falling for more than one."

"We agreed Linh doesn't get pranked, right?" I asked, getting slightly worried. I fidgeted with my hands. Sophie nodded. "Yep! She doesn't deserve a prank. Marella might get one, depending if she falls for it."

"Which reminds me, Dex, did you finish Keefe's yet?" Sophie asked, looking at Dex. He grinned, dimples showing. "The silver hair one is. The second part, not yet, but it will be done by midnight," he promised. I grinned from ear to ear. If he was going to make me turn my hair his eye color, I was going to do the same thing back. At least I cared about my hair less than him, and his was permanent. Unless we gave him the antidote, which I didn't plan on giving back unless he gave each of us a favor or something. And for the second part of his prank, Sophie had used one of the tricks Keefe had suggested to her once. Revenge time, I thought venomously.

"GUYS! Everybody come downstairs! I have one more dare that everyone has to do, otherwise you'll get the ultra-makeover!" Biana yelled. Me, Sophie, and Dex looked at each other nervously before bolting downstairs. She looked victoriously happy when she saw us. I noticed that Fitz and Keefe were sitting on the sofa eating butterblasts, and Marella and Linh were sitting on the rug playing some sort of card game. At least the butterblasts they were eating weren't the ones we had rigged up for the pranks.

"Okay, here's my dare. We all have to go get our matchmaking packets!" Biana squealed. Everyone, including myself, groaned. "Biana, please, anything else?" Sophie begged, hands together. Biana shook her head. "Nope! We're all old enough to get them, and we might as well by now." I was tempted to pull my bangs over my eyes again, but remembered the stupid dare and forced my hands by my sides.

And I knew that everyone, including myself, would follow through with it. No one, in their right mind, would refuse anything Biana ordered if she was dedicated enough towards it. In any case, at least the prank on her would hopefully be enough as revenge for both making us play truth or dare and making us get our matchmaking packets. But I knew that as bad as the pranks could be, I had a feeling that the matchmaking packets would be a hundred times worse.

After a couple hours of random games, desserts (some of which were rigged with pranks), and a pretty fun night, we all went to bed. Except me, Sophie, and Dex. A couple hours before midnight, we set up Keefe's prank by sneaking into his bedroom.

Then the rest of us went to sleep. I slipped under the covers silently, hoping that Linh didn't hear, as we slept in the same room. I laid my head on my pillow, sighing contently. I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning, I thought, smiling as I closed my eyes, welcoming the darkness.

A/N I'm actually laughing / coughing at the fact that Tam's hair is ice blue *cough cough cough*. Also I forgot to mention... I drew a cover picture for this fan fiction!!! I finally finished, it's not super great and it took me... 9 hours... according to the time-lapse... but it was 100% worth it! (it was my first piece of digital art that I actually finished). Here it is! If you want to repost it or something please credit me or something like that. 

Also, the next PoV is probably going to be in Keefe, Fitz, Biana, Linh, Marella, and Dex's PoV (I'm not 100% if it will be in all of theirs)
