I'm bored" Joe complained. "Good for you" Frank replied. The brothers were seated in the living room of the hardy household. They were hanging out with their friends after having a big celebration. "I know, let's have a prank war" Nancy Drew exclaimed, jumping up from her spot on the floor. "Fine, but we need rules and bigger teams" Callie, Frank's girlfriend, agreed. " let's start with rules then we can go recruit teams" Vanessa suggested. "Ok first rule, no messing up people's relationships" Frank said. "second rule, no impersonating people without their approval" Nancy pitched in. "Third rule, each team can have up to nine players." Joe said. "Fourth rule, girls versus boys" Vanessa explained" it's funner that way." Ok fifth and final rule," Callie exclaimed, " we aren't allowed to prank anyone who isn't playing." "Ok so we have our rules, now we just need our recruits. Pranking starts tomorrow morning, that way we have time to recruit, plan and get supplies." Frank declared. "Let's start... Now" Vanessa said while glancing at her watch. The girls scurried into the kitchen in search of Laura and Gertrude Hardy, while the boys ran to their fathers study. "Laura, Gertrude, we need a favour." Nancy gasped as she found the two women baking. "Sure dear, whatever you need" Laura said. "We're having a prank war and we need you guys on our team" Callie explained. " of course we will be on your team." Gertrude reassured the girls. "Only four more team members to go, then we can start planing." Vanessa squealed in delight. "No doubt the boys will get Sam, so I think we should get Ethel, and your mom,Vanessa. "Laura suggested. "Laura, your a genius" Vanessa exclaimed. "we could also get Hannah and then have one spot open for a double agent"
In their fathers study the boys were having much success too. So far they had recruited Fenton, Sam, and jack. "We should get Carson. He would love to help us prank Nancy" Frank suggested. "Oh, we should get Con too. We could pull some arrest pranks and such. We should also get Ezra." Joe exclaimed.
After a few quick phone calls, both teams had soon reached 8 of the 9 players. The boys had agreed that Carson, jack , con and Ezra were to meet the hardy's in an hour after the girls had left. The girls were to meet up at Vanessa's house, were they would set up camp.
The boys' team was hard at work planning pranks and setting up camp at the Hardy house. " I know" Joe said. "Con, you could arrest me, Frank and dad and then call mom and say that I had sabotaged jacks plane, leading to his death. And then when you went to arrest me, Frank and dad tried to shoot you and Ezra to protect me. That would get Nancy, Callie, Vanessa and mom." Ok sounds perfect, for our finale prank," con exclaimed. "we could even get someone else from the precint to arrest you guys. what do you say jack, feeling up to being dead for a while?" Jack just shrugged" I guess so" "ok but first I need to tell the cops at the station that we're having a prank war, so they won't freak when they see you or anything else like that." Ezra said. "Ok now it's supplies time." Frank said. " we need more pranks first" Fenton said, halting the group. "Ok like what?" Joe asked. " we could do some whoopee cushion pranks, food pranks, toilet pranks and I know a couple prank that involve phones and a couple more involving toothbrushes." Jack supplied. "Now, it's supplies time" Carson said.
At the bender house the girls were deciding the best way to prank the boys. " I've got it," Vanessa exclaimed" we could "kidnap" Joe and then tickle torture him" "tickle torture?" Callie echoed. "We tie him up and tickle him" Nancy explained,"we could also do food pranks" "I've got you covered there, Nancy" Hannah said. " we also need someone to find out who's on the boys' team. Andrea think you got that." Callie asked. Andrea nodded. " we should also have walkie talkies and cameras. That way we can be prepared." Nancy explained, " van could you do that?" "Sure can" Vanessa exclaimed. "Now we just need supplies." Andrea said. "Me and Gertrude will get the stuff for the food pranks, Nancy you, Vanessa and Caillie go get the basement ready for Joseph. He'll need to think he's somewhere else." Hannah ordered,"Andrea, you and Laura go and buy the cameras and walkie talkies."
Both teams had a plan and supplies and now came the boring part. Waiting for the next morning.
