Roman's Influential Orb

The Pranks

Virgil fullfils his promise to Demi.

Virgil decided that today he would do some pranks and tricks on the others with Roman to satisfy Demi for a while.

"Hey Roman, Do you want to go and prank the others?" Virgil said. "If we get up now we can catch them before they wake up."

Virgil and Roman had stayed up all night as Roman was still getting over his experiences and wasn't really tired, Virgil was exhausted but managed to stay awake for Roman.

"Nuh-uh Virgil, you're practically drooping. You are going to get some sleep!" Roman told him.

"But-" Virgil said.

"No Buts." Roman interrupted.

"Come on! I'll sleep after we're done!" Virgil promised.

"I know you and I know you won't." Roman scolded.

"Pleeeeeeeeease!" Virgil said as he turned on his puppy dog eyes.

Roman looked away for a minute and then responded, "Okay fine, but you really have to sleep after we've done this."

"Pinky promise."

As Virgil's pinky wrapped around Roman's, he felt happiness blossom in his chest. He might miss this but as soon as he keeps all of his promises he'll set Roman up with someone. It's for the best.

"Pinky promise."

"Okay, so what should we do first. Patton? Slime bucket as he exits his room?"

"Yeah and lets cover Logan's room in confetti."

"Ooh good idea. You do Logan and I'll do Patton."

"Yeah, see ya soon, be prepared to see Logan covered in glitter. This'll be fun." Roman spoke as a slightly mischievous smile spread across his face. Not a smirk or a fake smile, a real genuine smile. It's for the best. Stay strong, Virgil.

As they parted, Virgil reminded himself that he had to do what he had to do and this wasn't helping.

He entered Patton's room quietly, careful to be quiet enough not to wake Patton and summoned the bucket of green slime quickly placing it in it's spot. Virgil escaped the room with a small smile just as Roman finished setting up his prank. He saw Roman stare at him in shock and awe, he really wished he wouldn't. It only made his job harder.

Roman shook his head and went to stand next to Virgil in the hallway, he quickly took his and and dragged him down to the kitchen.
When they got there Roman let go of his hand and started to make everyone bacon and eggs.

A few minutes later, Logan walked in covered head to toe in glitter and as he was wearing his usual unicorn onesie this just made it better. There was glitter from every colour of the rainbow stuck to Logan yet Roman had done a very good job at not getting any glitter on Logan's face. It was hilarious.

No more than five seconds later, we hear a scream from Patton's room and unfortunately a little too late we remember the other consequence of a slime bucket prank. The bucket, cause I really wasn't thinking when I used a metal bucket. We reach Patton's room with Logan in the lead, he's already fussing over Patton and making sure he's okay. Luckily he hadn't gained anything other than a small bump on his head. The slime had pooled at his feet so they were still unaware of their situations. Patton's clothes were covered in slime so when he and Logan hugged, Logan became slightly slimy and Patton gained some glitter. This was when they both looked down at themselves them at each other. Patton burst out laughing and Logan seemed in shock.

"C-come on Logan, go change your clothes, put your onesie in the wash and have a shower." Patton said through laughter.

"It's only glitter Patton, you shower first." Logan insisted.

"I suppose your right, I'll see you when I'm a lot less slimy." Patton waved as he walked into the bathroom.

"Now explain yourselves!" Logan demanded.

"I was only trying to keep my promise to Demi and Roman is still feeling shook up about his experiences, Imagine not being you or knowing where you are then waking up to see someone important to you in a pool of their own blood." Virgil spoke up.

"All right, I trust this will not be a regular occurrence." Logan said softly.

"Maybe... Now come on Roman, the bacon and eggs you made is getting cold." Virgil dragged Roman out of the room and sat down at the table.

Virgil has to stop doing this to himself. Virgil has to remember that for the greater good. Virgil has to remember that the most he can ever let Roman be is his best friend. Forever. This is all for the best... It'll be alright. He'll move on... Everything will be all right. He has to remember this.
