"Owww!" Bobby yelled. "Watch it!"
"Shhh! Do you want the whole institute to know that we're here? Cause if you do, you can just tell Jean and she'll spread the news," Jubilee hissed.
"Why are we whispering anyway? It's not like they can hear us," Bobby questioned.
"We're whispering because when people play pranks on other people, they don't talk loudly or yell. They whisper. It must be some kinda tradition or something. And don't forget the wonderful fact that Logan has sensitive hearing. Oh, and you did remember to block your mind right? From Jean and the Professor?" asked Jubilee.
"Yep. Did you bring the cutters?"
"We don't need the cutters moron. We're not gonna cut the wires, we're just gonna pull them. It's the red wire right?" She asked, confused.
"No, it's the blue one"
"Red wire!"
"Blue wire!"
"Stupid, it says here in the book to cut the red wire!" She argued.
"There's a book? Ahha! It says cut the wire not pull the wire,"
"Didn't you read the lower part? It says only to cut the wire if the target is home alone/if you are not living with the target."
"How can I read it? You're the one holding the book!" Bobby complained.
"Well, it is my book." Jubilee stated.
"What's the title of the book?"
"Guide for Dummies: How to pull a prank."
"Hahaha! So you're a dummy?" Bobby laughed.
"No, but you are. My favourite book is upstairs. A friend gave it to me. She thought it would make me forgive her for her little mistake but I played my first prank on her. Anyway, the book says that when your partner is stupid or insane, bring a guide for dummies. And you, my friend are both." Jubilee said evilly.
"Ouch…That hurts. I'm sure your friend regretted giving you that book. It was like releasing a trapped dog, once released, it bites you back," Bobby sniggered unaware that he just signed his own death warrant.
"Bobby Drake! Did you just refer to me as a dog?" she shouted while her hand was near the wires.
"Um… yeah,"
"You're gonna pay!" But when she tried to untangle her hand from the wires, she accidentally pulled a wire. Then, all the lights went out.
Bobby shone the flashlight at her hand.
"Ah-ha! I told you it was the blue wire. That book was wrong," He smirked.
Suddenly an alarm sounded.
"Yes, the book was wrong wasn't it?" said Jubilee sarcastically.
"But it was still your fault. You pulled the wire," Bobby accused.
"You can't lose, can you?" Jubilee asked. "Come on, let's get outta here. And remember, no powers. We don't want to leave any evidence." she lectured.
They both ran up the back stairs while the other students ran down the main stairs to see what the problem was.
They reached Jean's room.
"Target is out," whispered Jubilee.
"Again, you do NOT have to whisper, they are all downstairs. Oh, and I just remembered, Logan's gone out,"
"Let's just do this. Okay, place the tin in the middle of the room," Jubilee ordered
Bobby obeyed her orders placing the neon paint tin (2 litres and they mixed a couple of neon colours i.e. yellow, green, blue) in the middle of Jean's room. Then, he went back near the door.
"Moron, open the tin. Otherwise, how am I supposed to throw the fireworks in the can?" Jubes rolled her eyes.
"Yes, sir," Bobby gave a sarcastic salute.
"Hurry, I can hear her coming." Jubilee said. Bobby quickly opened the can.
"How are we gonna escape?" Bobby panicked.
"Through the window, make an ice slide,"
Bobby made an ice slide down to the mansion grounds. Jubilee threw a couple of fireworks in the tin. It exploded at the exact same time when Jean entered the room looking for her hair spray.
They heard a high pitched scream after the explosion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Jamie ran to see what the commotion was all about. Neon colours and streams of red were running down Jeans face.
He screamed running down the stairs.
"Eeep! Logan! Jean, Ginger! Red! Hair! Not! Any! More!" He panicked.
Logan jumped up the stairs, trying his best not to laugh.
Rogue came up behind him.
"Told you it wasn't her natural hair colour! COUGH IT UP." She laughed.
Logan grunted pulling 20 dollars out of his pocket passing it to Rogue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aaargh…" Another scream was heard. This time it was from Ororo's room. Rogue and Logan quickly ran up to her room.
They saw her standing in front of her beloved plants. Some of the plants are covered with neon paint.
She looked shocked. "My plants. Who killed my lovely innocent plants?"
"Ice cube! Fireworks!" Logan yelled.
The two came in (unwillingly) as they were being held by telekinesis from Jean. "Here are those two brats who ruined my hair not to mention my room!"
"You two have 2 hours of early morning training sessions with me everyday starting tomorrow for 2 whole months" Logan said angrily.
"But we exposed Jean in her 'true colours'! Plus, we even repainted her room in beautiful neon paint," Jubilee pleaded.
"I'll have to see her room first," Logan was making his way to Jean's room. "Wow! Good job, kids. No danger room sessions for a month,"
"Yay!" They both cheered.
Rogue who was trying to keep her laughter in check by stuffing her fists in her mouth (started when she saw Jean's 'true colours') couldn't help it when she saw Jean's room. She laughed out loud to which everyone responded by looking at her rather strangely.
Jean's room was a total mess. The neon colours didn't mix well which caused some parts of the room to be in orange colour, others in yellow and the rest in bright green neon colours.
"Logan!" Jean and Ororo shouted angrily.
"Ooops… Erm.. Okay, one hour of early danger room sessions on weekdays for a month,"
"A month? But we…" Bobby was cut off by Jubilee who elbowed him hard in the ribs "You don't know when to shut up, do you?"
"Icicle, you better learn when to keep your mouth shut." Rogue laughed. "But, I gotta hand it tah yah two. Yah did a nice number on her room."
"Thanks. Wanna borrow my '1001 pranks' book? It's my favourite. It has 1001 different kinds of trick and pranks in it. And you can buy all the materials needed on their website," said Jubilee who was trying hard to please Rogue (Rogue had been her and Jamie's idol since they started staying at the institute, she helped them a lot)
"Sounds cool. Mah room, after dinner tonight. Both of you."
"We're not in trouble, are we?" Bobby asked. He was anxious not to get on Rogue's bad side because he saw what happened to Pietro who thought it was a brilliant idea to play a prank on Rogue.
Let's just say, Pietro will always think twice before playing a prank on anyone ever again. That is, if he ever overcame the trauma.
"Not if you bring the book, icicle" she grinned. Both mutants looked at her stangely. What happened to the Rogue they knew and fear?
The weather was unpleasant, thunder; lightning and the likes of it overtook the grey skies. The area surrounding Xavier's mansion was dark and gloomy. After all, Storm wasn't in the best of moods since Jubilee and Bobby had just played one of their all-famous pranks on her so she didn't bother to change the weather back to normal. But the weather was the opposite of Rogue's emotions at the moment.

The paint thing I took from Mr Bean. Only difference was that he planned to paint his room in white and covered the furniture with newspaper first before the paint tin exploded. He did a pretty good job. You have gotta see the episode. Very funny…
I'm not sure if the prank books really exists. Tell me if they do.
So, what do ya'll think? It's my first fanfiction. Is the story a lost cause? Should I continue? Or should I just stick to reading fanfictions instead of typing them?
Please, please review! And if you wanna flame me, please don't hide under anonymous.
