Chapter 2: Plan of Action

Lauren shook her head as they left. When the door closed behind them she turned to the ghouls and said "Alright, ghouls. Let's go to my room and begin preparing some pranks that'll leave the cadets wishing Jamal had never flung those potatoes."
"Yeah!" they cheered, following Lauren up the stairs.
Once in her room, Lauren pulled out a notebook and asked "Any ideas?"
"Oh! We could trick them by putting vanilla pudding inside a mayonnaise jar and eating it around them." Tanis suggested.
"Nice one! And we should cut out pieces of playdough, wrap them in wrappers, and offer it to them as gum." Elsa suggested.
"Those are both great ideas!" Lauren said, scribbling furiously.
"We should replace the cream in Oreos with toothpaste and give them a pack." Phantasma suggested.
"Yes! We could do a whole bunch of food-related pranks and they would never know because they trust me to bring them food. We should dip cheese puffs and Brussel sprouts in chocolate and put them in a whopper box and tell them it's candy. And we could give them doughnuts full of mayonnaise. Oh, we should make caramel coated onions in place of apples." Lauren suggested, writing them down.
"Those are fangtastic ideas. We should also put googly eyes on all of their food you buy them." Sibella proposed.
"Yeah. Or replace their deodorant with cream cheese." Winnie added.
"They have a lot of electronics. Let's replace all of their batteries with Smarties!" Elsa put forward.
"While they're sleeping we should move their beds outside." Phantasma urged.
"Yes! And we should tape those TNT pop-its to their doors so when they shut them it makes a loud band. The Colonel would totally freak." Winnie encouraged.
"He'd freak even more if we put an air horn on his chair so that the next time he sits down a loud bang is made! The cadets would be so busted." Sibella suggested.
"We should put red Kool-Aid powder in their shower head so when they go to shower, red liquid erupts onto them." Tanis proposed.
"Yes! And before they can jump out of the shower and grab their clothes, we should swipe their clothes and towels so they have to streak back to their dorm without getting busted by the Colonel." Lauren added excitedly.
"You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you, Lauren?" Sibella chided.
Lauren nudged her in the ribs before replying "You know I would."
Consequently, the ghouls burst into laughter. After a moment they all settled down and continued suggesting prank ideas. "We should zip tie their knives and scissors closed," Winnie suggested.
"That's brilliant!" Lauren cried as she wrote it down.
"And we've got plenty of rotten tomatoes in the garden. There's so many I doubt Miss Grimwood would mind if we used them to ambush the cadets." Elsa proposed.
"And we should throw water balloons at them." Phantasma added.
"With glitter added in. Imagine the cadets covered in glitter!" Tanis shrieked with glee.
"We should replace their toothpaste with maximum strength Orajel. Their mouths will be so numb they'll barely be able to talk or chew." Lauren told them as she wrote it down. "Okay, girls, we have twenty prank ideas with five days to do them in. I'm sure the cadets have just as many. They may be idiots, but they're strategic idiots and will definitely have plenty of pranks in store for us. But we're smarter than they are so it won't be hard to win this. We have a fangtastic list of pranks that I say we get started on right now so we can give them a reason to regret declaring this in the first place. And we'll easily outstrip them during the paintball game. We each pick a person, take them out, and the six of us will be the last people standing. Now let's get started. What prank should we do first?"
"The food-related ones!" Tanis suggested.
Everyone agreed so Lauren grabbed her purse and said, "Let's go grocery shopping."
The six ghouls clasped hands and teleported to the nearest supermarket. Once they were inside, Lauren said "Okay, girls, we need chocolate chips, caramel, onions, cheese puffs, Brussel sprouts, Oreos, toothpaste, vanilla pudding, cream cheese, mayonnaise, donuts, Kool-Aid powder, and Smarties. We should probably just get everything we need for our pranks so we might as well also get some playdough, a pack of gum, deodorant, googly eyes, double A batteries, TNT Pop-Its, an air horn, maximum strength Orajel, water balloons, glitter, and zip ties. The rest of the things we'll need we have back at school. Let's get shopping."
After twenty minutes, they had bought the items and were back at school. Lauren had teleported them into the kitchen. "Let's take the food out of the bags." As the ghouls did that, Lauren pulled out several pots and pans as well as a mixing spoon. When she was done with that she turned towards the ghouls to see that they had pulled all of the items out of the bags and started opening them. "This is going to be so fun. Let's do the chocolate covered cheese puffs and Brussel sprouts first." Lauren took a pot and said, "Tanis, fill this up with the chocolate chips please." Tanis emptied the entire bag into the pot. When the last chocolate chip fell, Lauren lit up her hands. In seconds, the chocolate melted. Holding the pot with one hand, she grabbed a spoon with the other and stirred until it was completely melted. She doused the flame and set the pot on the table before pulling out six prongs. "Okay, let's dip these and set them on the trays." After an hour, they had all of their food pranks to deliver. All that was left was seeing the cadets reactions.
