Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Leverage.
A/N: Just wanted to give a little warning that this will be a little continuation of one of my other stories, Friday the Thirteenth, and you may want to read it if you haven't already so you aren't confused at parts but that is of course completely up to you. I decided to write this one because I just love Halloween and couldn't resist it. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy and reviews would be awesome.
Hardison went to ask Eliot a question about one of the cameras he let the hitter borrow but noticed that he was looking off into space with a relatively serious face, "Hey Eliot!"
Eliot jumped a little then looked over at the hacker with an aggravated face, but what else was new, "What man?"
"I was just wondering if you were ever going to return my camera, which was very expensive, anytime soon, but I think I'd rather know what in the world you were just thinking about instead," Hardison asked his curiosity piqued.
"I told you I'd return your damn camera tomorrow and I was just thinking about when Nate and Parker played that prank on us two months ago," he replied getting up from the couch to go grab another beer from the refrigerator.
Hardison thought back to that night causing a shiver to run down his back, "Man what they did to us was just evil, like pure evil. I still can't believe it was Nate and not Parker who thought of it, I mean I thought the man was made of mostly good but after that little fiasco I'm not so sure. What made you start thinking of that night anyway?"
Eliot came back, beer in hand, plopping down on the couch. "Cause I've been thinking. Thinking that it's about time we exact some revenge of our own," he said nodding his head up and down slowly with a little evil grin showing up.
"Aw now that's what I'm talking about, baby!" Hardison agreed but lost a little bit of his enthusiasm asking, "But are we sure we want to do that man? Cause I don't really want to be put on YouTube again screaming like a little girl."
"Trust me after this they won't want to prank us again," Eliot reassured him, "So are you in or not?"
Hardison thought about the pros and cons of pulling a prank on Nate and Parker coming up with the decision that it would be worth whatever punishment they decided to dish out, "Yeah I'm in. But do you think Parker will actually tase us?"
"It's not that bad getting tased cause there's probably a 75 to 100 percent probability that she will," Eliot shrugged as if it wasn't bad having an electric shock run through you.
"So what's the plan?" the hacker asked curious as to what the hitter had up his sleeve.
"I'll explain it all later when we meet up with Sophie cause she wants in on it too," he replied.
"Why does she want to get back at them?"
"I think it's more towards Nate than Parker," he replied shrugging his shoulders and taking a drink from his beer.
"Makes since I suppose," Hardison reasoned, "Man I can't wait for this! It's going to be soooo awesome!"
Nate walked into his place with Parker behind him catching the last few words, "What's going to be awesome?"
Hardison's eyes widened at being caught, "Uh. Well um-"
Eliot stood up giving Alec's stomach an elbow, "Fishing! Fishing is going to be awesome."
Parker shrugged walking into the kitchen so she could find something to eat wondering if Nate had any cereal.
Nate's face was one of confusion and one that said he didn't quite believe them, "Fishing? Hardison, the man who would die without technology, is excited about fishing?"
"Yeah man, I've been telling him about a boat I've rented and he said he wanted to go," Eliot explained seeing Nate still wasn't quite believing the story, "Aaannd that boat happens to be one of the most technologically enhanced ones made today so he wants to go and check it out. Isn't that right Hardison?"
"Uh yeah! Man the things I've heard that boat can do. I can't believe it, not until I check it out first hand," Hardison agreed noticing the disbelief slowly dissipate from Nate's face.
Nate looked from Eliot to Hardison knowing something was up but didn't quite know, "Fishing?"
"Well I'll be fishing, Hardison will probably be drooling over the boat too much to fish," Eliot continued praying Nate bought it.
Nate studied the two men a few minutes longer, "If you two are going to a strip joint you don't have to concoct a wild elaborate story. You can just say so."
Hardison was about to say they were really going fishing but Eliot spoke before he could, "You caught us Nate. We just didn't know what you'd think so…..yeah, but you're right we're going to a new strip joint I found out about here recently." Hardison looked over at Eliot with a look of disbelief but quickly turned back to Nate nodding his head in agreement realizing Eliot's plan.
"See was that so hard?" Nate asked joining Parker at the table to read the paper.
"Guess not," Alec responded turning around with a sigh of relief that Nate bought their story and that their prank wasn't revealed.
Eliot nodded then sat back down on the couch praying they got away with telling Nate a lie, which rarely ever happened especially when it was one of the team that was lying. He pulled out his phone to text Sophie that they were going to go through with the prank and to meet them at his house later that night so they could go through the plans.
Parker looked up from her bowl of cereal to glance over at Hardison and Eliot who were still here; she didn't get why everyone had to come to headquarters so often because honestly what was so amazing that they had to hang here? She did enjoy their company but here lately she's just wanted to be with Nate alone and with the guys over all the time, being alone was something that didn't happen very often. They usually only came to Nate's because it was closer than her place but lately she's been thinking that the extra time and gas might be worth going to her house.
She was just about through with her cereal when she suddenly received a brilliant idea on how to solve their alone time problems, "Nate?"
He put the paper down turning his head so he could look at her, "Yeah?"
"I've been thinking."
"About?" he asked with a smile wondering what was on the thief's mind.
"That since headquarters AKA your place usually has a lot of company that maybe you could move in with me?" she suggested but said it in a way as though it sounded as a question. "That way we can have more time to ourselves."
"You want me to move in with you?" he asked never thinking that he'd hear her ever speak those words because even though she seemed comfortable with their relationship he'd always thought and assumed he'd be the one taking all the steps forward in the relationship.
"Yes," she replied simply trying to read his face to see what he was thinking about.
He reached over placing his hand on the side of her face giving her a warm smile, "I'd love to move in."
"Really?"
"Really," he whispered before placing a small kiss on her lips which she gladly accepted.
"Hey. What did I tell you two about kissing in front of me?" Hardison called out.
They ended the kiss with Nate responding, "My house and I think I remember us telling you that we don't care about what you have to say about our PDA."
Hardison mumbled, "Just plain disrespectful and apparently it won't be your house for long."
Eliot shot his head up, a plan on how they were going to go through with their plan of revenge forming in his head, "Hey Nate you want help moving?"
"Uh yeah that'd be great," he said appreciatively.
"Good, Hardison and I can help," Eliot told him not believing such a perfect opportunity as this one just landed in their lap.
"Whoa I don't remember Hardison saying he'd help," Alec interjected.
Eliot gave Hardison a glare telling him to agree with helping or there would be pain coming to him later. Hardison was confused as to why it was such a dire thing that he volunteer to help but decided it was best just to play along, "I mean I would love to help if you guys supply some orange soda for payment of my services."
"I'm sure we can afford that," Parker replied happy that it wouldn't take long to get him moved in.
"So when are you going to do it?" Eliot asked hoping it was before the end of the month which was next week that way they could scare them on Halloween.
Nate shrugged looking over at Parker, "When do you want me to move in?"
"I don't see why we can't start this weekend that way we can go ahead and get it over with."
"Fine by me," Nate agreed looking back towards Eliot and Hardison.
Eliot nodded, "Sounds great just call us when you're ready to start and we'll be here to help you."
"Well I suppose I'll start packing," Nate said standing up, "You want to keep me company Parker?"
"Sure," she agreed following him upstairs a feeling of excitement washing over her now that they would have more time to each other.
Eliot made sure they were out of earshot before looking over at Hardison with a huge smile on his face.
"Man why in the hell did you volunteer me to help move?" Hardison asked.
"Cause man that's the way in so we can set everything up that we're going to need for our little plan to work," Eliot whispered, "This is going to be so sweet."
Hardison smiled finally realizing why Eliot wanted them to help, "Oh I do agree."
A/N: Well there's chapter one and I hope you enjoyed it. I should have the second chapter up by the end of the week.
