Time Force: The Great Christmas Caper

Chapter 27: The Time Force gets Pranked

Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny enjoy working in the Time Force Headquarters. Their work is important, but it can get cold and frosty during the wintertime. But one day, the friends were feeling bothered. Pitch Black was causing trouble in the world again. He escaped from their trap to catch him, and he went off to plot his revenge. He stopped in New York City and was starting a search for the Time Force members with his dark minions.

Meanwhile, Edith and Agnes were at the New York City School of Performing Arts, enjoying their lunch break with their friends. They enjoyed each other's company and stayed as close to each other as sisters of the Gru family. That day, they were chatting about their plan to prank the Time Force members in a secret way. "So," said Edith, "how do we prank Margo and her besties without them even knowing it?" "I'd say we prank the four of them with a net trap that they would be caught in," replied Agnes. "What do you say to that idea for a prank we would pull on Margo and her besties?" "Sounds good," said Edith. "I think my idea for a prank we would pull on the four of them would be that we would splish-splash-splosh them all with muddy water."

"That sounds like a good idea for a prank we would pull off," agreed Agnes. "This would give us a chance to be silly pranksters against the Time Force." Edith and Agnes thought this prank would be pulled off in a critical way that was possible. Not long ago, they had splattered their friends with muddy water from homecoming week. Sometimes, this makes the two girls naughty. As Edith and Agnes were on their lunch break, they still chatted about their plan to prank Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny at the same time. They were looking forward to nearly making the Time Force's eyes pop out.

After their school day was over at the New York City School of Performing Arts, they returned to their home where they lived with their parents, Gru and Lucy Wilde, the two agents of the Anti-Villain League. Inside of their bedroom, Edith and Agnes were plotting a prank on the Time Force members by sketching out their plan. "I hope this prank would go according to our plan," said Edith. "I hope so, too," replied Agnes. "I really hope so, too. We'll make sure we successfully prank Margo and her besties before it goes wrong." Edith and Agnes kept plotting to pull a prank on their oldest sister and her besties all at the same time.

Just then, Gru and Lucy bustled up. "Edith and Agnes," he said, "why're you two plotting a prank on Margo?" "This would be a great prank we would pull on the Time Force," said Agnes. "What's more," added Edith, "When we try to prank Margo and her besties, we would see what happens when it goes according to our plan." "I don't care," said Gru. And Lucy said, "On second thought, if you two try to prank Margo, what will she think?" Edith and Agnes didn't know what to say.

By that evening, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were having doubts about the prank that Edith and Agnes would pull onto the four of them. "I hope we would think of a way to stay clean," said Sherman. "It's bound to hear that we would need to keep ourselves clean so we can head to the concert for Miss Elsa when we arrive on time for the concert." And he was right. Then, Margo said, "Guys, we need to think of a way to stay clean while getting ready for the concert that Miss Elsa will be performing at." Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were getting into position when they found Edith and Agnes at a distance of 20 feet away from them. The four teenagers were on the roof of an apartment building in New York City, and Edith and Agnes saw them all the way up in a height of 28 feet high. "We're sure to be clean while on this roof," said Antonio. "We'd better be," replied Penny.

Just then, A huge mud puddle was spotted by Edith and Agnes. "Look at that big puddle!" said Agnes. "It's big enough for splish-splash-sploshing." "I think we will be ready to pull this prank off onto our sister," agreed Edith. "Here we go!" they said at the same time. "One...two...THREE!" Edith and Agnes ran into the big puddle and flung muddy water into the air. Then, there was trouble.

Muddy water flew high into the air... "Not again." ...and splooshed down all over Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny. SPLOOSH! "Oh, nooooo! My legs!" said Antonio. "Ruined!" "EDITH! AGNES!" Margo cried out from offscreen. Edith and Agnes screeched to a stop and reversed slowly. They saw that they had splish-splash-sploshed Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny. "Breaking beanies!" said Edith. "Fizzling fireboxes!" said Agnes.

"Look what you've done to my besties! They're soaked!" said Margo. "Also, Edith and Agnes, I hear from Mr. Peabody that you have ruined the flour and strawberries for Miss Elsa's grand tea. This is a disaster." The Time Force members walked off, soaked with muddy water from the prank that Edith and Agnes pulled off. Edith and Agnes felt terrible. "Oh, no..." said Edith. "This prank isn't fun anymore." "It's all gone wrong," replied Agnes. They were feeling very sad.

Edith and Agnes were feeling sad that their prank didn't go so well as they planned it would. They found Gru and Lucy and told them about their prank they pulled on Margo. "Can you two explain the prank you pulled on Margo?" asked Gru. "This prank was our chance to trick Margo,"replied Edith and Agnes. "We were trying extra hard to prank Margo without her even knowing it. Even you don't prank us without us even knowing it, but we pranked Margo at once."

Edith and Agnes saw that the Time Force members had delivered fresh flour and strawberries to the bakery. They found Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny looking very cross. "Your stupid prank means we'll be late for the concert!" said Penny. "No you won't," said Edith. "We'll wait here for the cakes and THEN we'll deliver them." "You four can go to the washdown, and all four of you will be clean for the concert," said Agnes. This time, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny listened and they were delighted to hear this from the two girls. "Thank you, Edith and Agnes!" said Margo. "Now, I'll be shiny and best and gleam MORE than the rest," said Sherman.

Soon, Edith and Agnes went back to Gru's house and they got cleaned up from their prank they pulled on Margo, and they were soon shiny and squeaky-clean, feeling more important than ever. And after delivering the fresh strawberry cakes for the grand tea, they found Mr. Peabody, who was with Elsa and Anna, the two Arendelle guardians, at the New York City Concert Hall. Meanwhile, back at the Time Force Headquarters, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were back in their team locker room, with just four lockers in them, getting cleaned up for the concert for Elsa and Anna, the two Arendelle guardians. And so, the four of them took a shower together, and they were getting washed up from head to toe. Soon, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny were shiny and squeaky-clean. They got ready for the important concert, feeling more important than ever. But as they were getting ready for the concert, they combed their hair and brushed their teeth in order to get ready for the concert.

At last, Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny arrived, all nice and shiny and squeaky-clean for the concert. The sky was almost reaching nighttime, and the Time Force members hoped that they would be ready for the concert for Elsa and Anna. Later, Edith and Agnes saw Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny at the entrance to the New York City Concert Hall. "I'm sorry we pranked the four of you," said Agnes. "You go first." "Thanks, Agnes, it feels good to be friends," said Sherman. "But how did you deliver the cakes for the grand tea?" "We waited for them before we would deliver them in time," replied Edith. And she was right. Mr. Peabody said, "At last! You kids made Elsa and Anna very late!"

"Not at all, Mr. Peabody," said Elsa. "Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny made me very happy." "We had the ride of our lives, so many people to sing to, and such fun," agreed Anna. Mr. Peabody was delighted to hear what Elsa and Anna said to them. That night was Elsa and Anna's concert. Elsa played on the piano while Anna conducted the chamber orchestra accompanying the piano that Elsa was performing the concert on. Plus, the Time Force members were singing.

There was another surprise. Max, Gidget, Mel, Buddy, Chloe, Tiberius, Norman, Duke, Pops, Daisy, and Snowball were using their strong lamps to light the concert. Edith and Agnes gasped. They had to shine their strong lamps on Margo, Antonio, Sherman, and Penny, so they would see them singing sweetly while the concert was going on. Then, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps came by, shining their strong lamps to light the concert as usual. After the concert was over, everyone cheered and applauded for the Time Force, and the two Arendelle sisters. The Arendelle concert was over, and Elsa and Anna were very proud of it.
