Okay, this is my first story, even though I've been on this site for a couple years XD I'm trying my best, but it may not be very good most of the time, so please bare with me! :)

It was almost morning by the time one of them started to stir. Dawn sat up, rubbing her eyes. She yawned into her hand, a yawn so big it stretched her jaw out, popping her ears. Massaging her jawline she stood, stepping over Misty to get to the bathroom. She shut the door behind her, jolting May awake.

"D'wah? What time is – HYAAUGH." Her question was cut off by a yawn as she rolled onto her side to look at the alarm clock that was sitting on her night stand. She kicked off the covers and stood up, heading over toward the bathroom door, which Dawn had apparently forgotten to lock, since May was able to turn the knob and get it partially open before Dawn screamed on the other side. "Sorry!" May cried as she slammed the door close again. She leaned against the wall, sliding to the floor where she landed with a dull thud.

Misty was sitting up, her eyes still half closed in drowsiness as she asked, "What's going on May? Did you walk in on Dawn again?"

"Yes," May yawned. "That girl needs to learn how to lock the door behind her when she needs to go pee in the morning. I hate it when that happens after you two sleep over."

"Speaking of which," Dawn called through the door as they heard a flush. "May, do you know what happened to my hat? I can't find it again."

May sighed as she stood, using the wall for support. "Max probably knows where it is. He seems to know everything when it comes to the lost and found. Let me go see if he's awake yet." She shuffled out of the room, dragging her feet along the carpet.

Misty ran a hand through her hair as she stood and walked over to the bathroom door, opening it, knowing it was finally safe. Dawn was standing in front of the mirror trying to tame the mess she called her hair. It was frizzy and stuck out at odd angles. She was pulling a brush through her blue locks, trying to get rid of the tangles. She set the brush down on the counter, running her fingers through her hair, causing some strands to rise with static electricity. "Whoops," she said, grabbing one of the many types of elastic hair bands that sat on a hook above the light switch. She pulled her hair into a loose bun at the nape of her neck, wisps of hair falling loose, framing her fair face.

"Dawn, you look fine," Misty said as she sat on the edge of the tub, crossing her legs as she yawned.

"I do not. I look horrible." Dawn leaned over and reached into her over night bag that was laying next to the sink. After digging around for a few minutes her search seemed to become frantic, objects flying from her bag as she tried getting to the bottom. "Oh my gosh, I can't find them!" Dawn cried, her hands finally stilling.

"What this time?" Misty yawned, bending over to pick up the items that Dawn had cast aside in her search. Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, Tampons (Ew, Misty thought), her shampoo and conditioner, and a bunch of accessories that she couldn't identify, but she picked them up anyway, handing them over to Dawn as she hastily helped clean up her mess.

"Thanks. And I left my clips at home, I can't believe it, I forgot that I wore my hair half up to school Friday." She sighed and sat back on her hands on the shiny linoleum floor.

"I'm betting they're by your bed. That's where you always put them when May and I stay over," Misty said as she sat next to her younger friend. "We can stop by your house today on our way to town."

Dawn sighed again. "Yeah, maybe. I guess I could go without my hat too, that is if May doesn't find it. I bet Max isn't even up yet."

Misty leaned back toward the door, listening as May came back into the room. "He awake yet, May?" she called.

"No," May replied. "The little twerp is still out cold. I mean, it's almost ten. He's usually up by now." She sighed as she dropped down to the floor with the other girls. So, what's with the little social gathering? You two aren't gossiping again are you?" She raised an eyebrow first at Dawn, who just smiled sheepishly, then at Misty who became suddenly interested in what she called her nails. "Come on, tell me," she said, looking between the two of them.

"Well, actually, I hadn't told her anything yet, you came in before I could say anything," Misty responded, rolling her eyes. May laughed, with Dawn joining it. Misty grinned. "Okay, how about we go into Max's room and either write all over his face with marker, or make it to where he can't get out of his room?"

The two laughed again.

"I say marker," May said.

"I say trap him," Dawn said.

The two looked at each each, then held up their hand in silent agreement for a game of rock-paper-scissors. In a two-out-of-three game, Dawn won. She hooted and punched the air. "Yesss, I am the rock-paper-scissors queen, hee hee!"

May and Misty quickly cover her mouth, straining their ears to see if anybody had heard Dawn's outburst. When they were answered with silence they both gave sighs of relief, releasing Dawn.

"You dummy, you could have woken up the whole house," May hissed. slapping her in the back of the head.

"Ow! Meanie!" she whispered, sticking her tongue out like a five year old at May, which got the brunette mad.

"Why you -!"

May lunged at the blunette, but Misty stopped her in time, muttering, "Quit it. Remember who we're supposed to torture here. Max, not each other."

They glared at each other, both of them going "Hmph!" as they looked away. Misty just rolled her eyes and stood, her friends following suit.

"Come on, let's go."

They went through May's room to the door, listening. They could hear the snores of May's father down the hall in her parents' room, and the light breathing of Max across the hall. Misty took a step into the hall, then a few more when she figured it was safe. When she looked back and saw that Dawn wasn't following, she pulled the blue-haired girl into the hall behind her. Dawn stumbled over her feet and into Misty, who almost fell over, even with how light Dawn was.

"May," Misty hissed over her shoulder as she picked Dawn off of her. "Get an old T-shirt. One that's long-sleeved."

May nodded her head vigorously and disappeared behind her door. Misty and Dawn could hear her rummaging around through her draws, and heard her when she murmured, "A-ha!" She rushed back into the hall with a faded black tee with white sleeves. She handed it to Misty who silently opened Max's door enough to where she could peek her head around the frame and check to see if he was still asleep. And he was, all three of them could hear his light breathing as he dreamed, unknowingly the source of the girls' latest prank on him. The last time they had set a prank, there had been pillow feathers everywhere in his room. The girls had to clean the whole thing up, but they never gave up.

Misty silently shut the door, tying one white sleeve in a knot around the doorknob, pulling it till it was tight, but loose enough so somebody could untie it once Max started wailing for help. They were sure to get in trouble for trapping him, but it was worth the laugh they were getting. Misty pulled the tee across the hallway to May's door, but paused before she tied it to the doorknob. "Wait, we still need to change, don't we?"

May and Dawn looked at each other, then at Misty, nodding. They rushed back into May's room, hurridly getting dressed so they could get out of the house before anybody else woke up and caught them in the act of trapping Max in his room.

After getting ready they finished tying the tee to May's door and hurried downstairs, giggling as they each grabbed an apple from the bowl of fruit on the table. May scribbled a quick note for her parents, letting them know where they were going, and writing below:

P.S. Don't kill us for tying Max up, it was just a harmless prank :D XD

Love, MMD

XOXOXO

Then they hurried out the door, making sure that the front door didn't slam behind them. They ran laughing to May's red '07 Infiniti, throwing their bags in the back and climbing in. As May pulled out of her driveway they rolled the windows down, then they drove off toward town to spend their day.

Hoo, first chapter down. So tell me what you think please? I'd like to know how I did. Please and thank you!
