Disclaimer: You're asking if I own Disney's Recess? I don't even own myself. I used to own my mind, but I don't know where it is anymore…

OGE: That's right, I'm still here and I'm still fly! I took this down and put it back up for one reason and one reason only. I don't want the review page used as a message board. That and the deal between MissPsycho has been resolved and I'm free to write MY, read it, comprehend it, MY fic in peace. FINALLY! If you have anything to say about me in general, then you can email me and I can ignore you in the comfort of my own inbox. If you have anything to say about the fic, then you can review.

Prologue

The school bell rang signaling the end of another day of imprisonment at Third Street School. Children piled out of the front doors to get to their own after school activities. Some had plans, some had lessons, some had things to do, some were going to the arcade, some were heading to Kelso's and others were just going home.

But two figures atop the roof of Third Street were not inclined to join their schoolmates below and head away from the building. One slightly bigger than the other, they stood apart and facing each other at opposite ends of the roof.

Silence reigned between the two while the noise of children being freed and running wild was carried up by the winds. It wasn't until the last child was out the door until one of the figures, the slighter, feminine one, spoke.

" So tell me, what exactly is it you want from me? I mean not just everyone is called here just for convo sake. You either want something from me or you want me to do something for you. And judging by the location you specified in your note, I'd say you'd really want privacy so it must be important."

" I didn't know you could speak in full sentence structure without using your usual conjunction." The larger, masculine, one smirked.

The female snorted and crossed her arms. " And here I thought you couldn't without sounding like a pompous jackass. And I only speak that way around the others."

Unexpectedly, the male smiled completely.

" Why are you smiling?" The female asked; a single brown raised in confusion," I just insulted you. You can't be that stupid…"

" I'm smiling because that's the reason I called for you. You're the only one that I can trust to do this for me."

" And why me? Why not someone else? And don't you usually turn to Detweiler and his merry men for favors and all?"

The male's eyes narrowed at the mention of names. " They are exactly what this is about. I called for you because you're supposed to be the best."

" I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific. I happen to be the best at a lot of things…" The slighter one tossed her head a bit arrogantly to emphasize her point.

The male calmly closed the distance between them as if to make sure that no one else heard what was about to be said.

" You see, Detweiler has something I want."

She shrugged. " Why not just take it then."

" Because it's not that easy. It isn't done that way. This is a physical possession. It's a title. He has it and I want it back. I've let him hold onto it long enough. The only problem is, all of my resources are outdated and I don't have the time to come up with new ones; considering my lifestyle. I need someone to do that for me and-"

" –And you chose me. Well, I am honored that you considered my talents. So what did you have in mind?"

" Pranks."

" Pranks? Well, you've come to the right place."

He shook his head. " No, not just cheap water balloon, banana peel pranks. I need something better. I don't want to just prank him once. I want to prank him a few times with some small, damaging things, and then humiliate him with something big and magnificent. Something no one else would think of, but they would remember it once it happened…"

" Hmm…you're in luck. I'm just the person to help you, and I know exactly what I can do for you. But I wanna know something…"

" What's in it for you?"

" You're very perceptive."

He shrugged." You gotta learn to read people in my area of play. I noticed how Detweiler seems to enjoy pranking you. I'll let you hang around me for a while, I'm sure he'll leave you alone. You'll even have more pull around the playground. Not to mention the payback on Detweiler and company. Sweet enough?"

" I'll have to brush my teeth after this. But tell me, why did you think of just me and not the others too?" She tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

" Simple. Your rep exceeds you. I've heard of others that were better and even some other school kids that were the best. But I don't just need best, I need cruel too."

The female tossed her hair and smirked decidedly predatorily. " Well, in my line of play you've got to be cruel to rule. I'm sure you understand."

The male extended his hand. " All terms of the agreement are out of the way. The stage is set and all we have to do is memorize our lines. Curtain rises at the first bell tomorrow, think you can handle it?"

" Of course. I'm a great actor," The female intrepidly grabbed his hand in a firm handshake to seal the deal," You'll have your title as Prankster Prince back in no time at all your majesty. I am the cruelest of the Ashley's. There's a reason for it."

The male smiled in triumph as he released her hand and moved towards the door to leave. " I'll leave everything to your sadistic mind. I'm counting on you Ashley B.!"

 " Leave everything to me King Bob!! Ashley Boulais will not fail!"
