"Bowl?"

"Check!"

"Glue?"

"Check!"

"Scissors?"

"Check!"

"Finger Paint?"

"Yep!" Bree answered, smiling a full-tooth smile at her sister. Carefully, she settled each item down into her backpack.

Just then Miss Springs wheeled a gray cart into the room. The top was littered with small cartons of milk, and a lot of straws.

"Gather around children! It's milk time!" the young kindergarten teacher announced, beckoning the children forward.

The class of twelve moved quickly, eager for the sweet taste of milk to reach their small lips. Ebony exchanged a look with Brianna, before bounding off towards the cart. Once there, Ebby grabbed a carton for herself while Bree grabbed two. One for herself and the other for Operation Prank the Teacher.

"Settle down, class!" Miss. Springs instructed. "Drink your milk children! And once you're done, please go lay down on the mats for nap time!"

Bree wrinkled her nose. She didn't want a sodding nap. She wanted to go home, play weapons with Mommy while eating ice cream with Uncle Xander, and playing Stuffed Animal Party with Aunt Willow.

But that wasn't going to happen. She would have to take a nap. Naps were evil with a capital E.

Pouting, Bree turned to her sister slash best friend and without question the two grabbed each other's hands. Checking that coast was clear and their teacher was distracted; Ebony and Brianna closed their eyes and started chanting.

Goddess of liquids, hear our plea,

Let your magic bless this milk,

In one hour, the drinker shall awake,

So mote it be, bobbly blake!

"What on earth are you two girls doing?" a feminine voice asked, startling the two out of their concentration.

Opening their eyes they were met with the looming stern face of Miss. Springs. She turned her sharp gaze to Ebony and demanded an explanation.

"Well?"

Ever the quick one, Bree came to her sister's rescue, "We were praying, Miss. Aunt Willow says we should pray for everything the goddess gives us."

"The goddess?" Miss. Springs asked, arching an eyebrow.

Lip quivering slightly, Ebony let a few tears loose.

"Don't be mad at us Miss. Springs!" she cried, throwing herself at her teacher.

"It's okay, dear. I'm not mad, honest." Miss. Springs reassured, her face softening as she looked down at the sobbing girl.

"T-Then you'll take this milk that we saved specially for you, right?" Ebby asked, hiccuping.

"Of course!" the blonde haired teacher answered, taking a sip of the milk from the red straw. "Now, be good children and go lay down for your nap!"

With that, Ebby and Bree were running to the mat for a nap. Humming to herself, Miss. Springs made her way back to the paint colored teachers' desk and finished off the small carton of milk.

Within five minutes, she was dead to the world.

An hour later, screams echoed throughout the school coming from the kindergarten classroom. As quick as lightning, Principal Juno fled from her office to Miss. Springs' classroom.

"Martha, what's wrong?" she asked, but she knew the answer.

Martha Springs was covered from head to toe in blue finger paint. A bowl was super glued to her back and she was sprouting a new haircut and color. An angry red colored her cheeks clashing horribly with her green-haired crew cut.

"Principal, I insist you expel these…these scoundrels!" Miss. Springs hissed, pushing two students forward.

Principal Juno was greeted with innocent eyes and coy smiles from Bath's Elemantry School's worst troublemakers.

Ebony Wilkins and Brianna Summers.
