Prank Wars Chapter 1: And So It Begins

Tim began to awake from a dream the first thing that came to his mind was that something was fishy. Then he realized that it smelled fishy too. As he began to slip into the waking world and he realized something also felt fishy. With that realization his eyes snapped open and he was fully conscious, he jumped out of his bed and screamed at the top of his lungs "Cassandra!" He pulled back the covers too his bed and saw that his bed was full of icky smelly fish. From outside his room, Tim could hear maniacal laughter of a teenage girl.

"That's the last straw," Tim said to himself. Cassandra had recently discovered the joy of pranking. She had been terrorizing the bat family for almost a week. She had caught Dick putting shaving cream in Tim's milk shake and then asked Oracle about it. So far they had been indulging her antics without retaliation but the fish, the fish was going way too far it was now time for an all out assault. "But first a shower cause right now she'll smell me coming a mile away," said Tim

Tim waited until that night when he knew Cass was out on patrol and snuck into her cave. After a whole day of planning he had come up with the perfect revenge. It took about an hour of tampering with pipes and a shampoo bottle to setup but he knew the reward would be worth the effort. Tim then placed microphones in her cave so he could witness the fallout from a safe distance. Robin moved back into the shadows and began his retreat, laughing as he thought of the beautiful trap that he had set.

Cass returned from her patrol near dawn. She slipped out of her costume and made her way to the shower, which was her custom. She turned on the water and step in; she smiled as she thought back on her fish prank. She closed her eyes and relaxed as the warm water streamed over her. After a long relaxing shower she got out and dried off. She went to go get some cloths and in the process as she walked past the mirror. As she walked past she did a double take, there was momentary pause, then the intake of breath, and then the high pitched, long drawn out scream.

Tim thought his eardrums would burst and he had to take his ear piece out, but still her continued scream was like music to his ears, and he smiled with content.

Cass looked into the mirror with horror. She was orange, orange from head to toe. Her skin was dyed a deep orange and she had green hair matched. Then she heard Tim's voice over a microphone taunting her, "pay backs a bitch isn't it, Little Miss Umpa Lumpa." She was shocked at first but now she jumped strait too denial. "Must be dream, has to be dream," she said to herself. After about ten minutes of trying to wakeup and pinching her orange skin she came to two conclusions. One, that this was unfortunately not a dream, and two, that Robin would pay. He would pay dearly.
