This is kinda short and rushed but I thought this would be funny and wanted to get it out before I spent another ten weeks trying to write it up. Also let's just pretend that Vikk showers before Josh.

Vikk had just stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around himself when he glanced at the fogged up mirror. Memories of his young self drawing faces and writing illegible words on the misty surface sprung to his mind. Letting a small smile break out on his face, he drew a simple smiley face on the mirror before leaving the bathroom and quickly making his way to his room to get dressed.

He completely forgot about the drawing until an hour or so later.

(Okay if any information in here is inaccurate I'm sorry, I'm not that good when it comes to this kind of thing)

"ARGH!"

Vikk peeked out of his room to see Josh making a mad dash back to his own room, slamming his door once he got there. After a few minutes of wondering what the heck just happened (as well as how nobody else in the house seemed concerned), Vikk decisively knocked on Josh's door.

"Wh-Who's there?"Josh demanded, a slight hint of fear in his voice.

"Uh...it's Vikk," the younger boy answered. A gasp was heard before the door flew upon.

"Vikk?!" Josh exclaimed. "There...there's a ghost in our bathroom!"

"...What...?"

"They wrote on the mirror! I-I stepped out of the shower and looked at the mirror and there was the creepy smiley face on it! I didn't draw that on! I don't know where it came from!" Josh said extremely quickly. Vikk lifted an eyebrow until his mind registered what Josh had said. 'A creepy smiley face'.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Go look for yourself, I bet it's still there!"

Vikk walked into the bathroom doubtfully, looking at the mirror which was mostly cleared up.

Then he saw it.

The edges of a curved line that was obviously the smile Josh was talking about. And, if he looked close enough, Vikk could see the two short lines that represented the eyes.

The face was the exact same one he had drawn around an hour ago.

'Of course', Vikk thought, 'It doesn't fade with the mist - it stays there until it's physically washed off.' Now obviously Josh either didn't know or didn't think of that.

There were two things Vikk could do with this information. Tell Josh that he had made the drawing and that it just resurfaced once the shower had steamed up the mirror again, or...

Next day. Another slam.

A knock on his door.

"Vikk, what the hell is going on with Josh?" Simon asked, arms folded. "Why does he keep slamming his-"

"He thinks there's a ghost in our bathroom."

"Wait, what?"

"And I may or may not be playing a trick on him..."

"You...you what?"

Vikk smiled and shrugged in a way that said 'I just wanted to have fun.'

Suddenly a door clicked open, and Josh pushed Simon out of the way so he could talk to Vikk.

"VIKK IT WROTE MY NAME. IT WROTE MY NAME EVERYWHERE ON THE MIRROR, YOU HAVE TO HELP."

Simon, confused and very slightly freaked out, decided to investigate and entered his friends' bathroom. One glance at the mirror (which hadn't cleared up as much as the day before) and he noticed the name 'Joshua' written forwards and backwards several times all over the mirror. But the one thing that he noticed that Josh obviously hadn't...

...Was that the words were in Vikk's handwriting.

I dunno, guys. I know it cut off at a random time but I really couldn't think of how I could continue this. I guess Vikk just keeps the act up, continually writing things that Josh would freak out to like 'Your viewers are gonna like your video' or 'Wasn't that a fun game of Monopoly?'

I'll let you guys come up with ways that either Vikk reveals what he's been doing to Josh or how Josh could figure it out on his own.
