A/N: This one is for Bellaroe who requested a story of Fred and George pranking their mom. It's set in the Dear Prankster Ps. Prefect world. (I mentioned that George and Fred didn't prank Molly because she was a really good prankster.)

"Ready Gred?"
"Ready Forge." The two troublemaking six year olds snuck out of there room, looking both ways before stepping into the hallway. They made their way down the hallway, avoiding the creaky spots and loose floorboards. It was the day before their birthday, and they wanted to bring it in with their favorite thing, a well planned, and executed, prank.

It didn't matter in the slightest bit that their mother had grounded them and taken away all their supplies. Never let it be said that the Weasley twins weren't resourceful. As it was, they had planned this specific, magic free prank, with their mother specifically in mind. She'd rue the day she had locked the two of them in their room with nothing to do. (or that she had made Percy watch them, that was a blow below the belt in Fred's opinion.)

They made it down the hallway unnoticed, and then proceeded to the more difficult task, the stairs. They had to get up a two flights without waking anyone, or dropping their many supplies. A quick glance at each other and Fred took the first step, handing over his metal materials so they wouldn't clink. He took another two, skipping the third step because it creaked. He paused as George handed him the material and ascended the same steps. He went up three more, and Fred passed the material back to him. They did that all the way upstairs, silently and excitedly. They finally made it to the top floor, and they made their way past Ron's room, giggling when they heard his snores coming from the room.

"We'll get him later." Fred whispered, smirking at his twin. George nodded his head eagerly, a grin lifting his lips as he glanced one last time at the door. Tonight was about mum, he wouldn't lose focus on anything less than pranking her.

They stopped in front of the door, their hearts pounding with excitement as they slowly opened the door. George entered first, and he tip toed to the bed, Fred followed him, shutting the door behind him. He barely suppressed a giggle as his twin started to set up the prank.

A half hour later, they were finished, and it was perfect. They snuck back out of the room, slipping down the stairs into their room without a squeak.

They went to bed with mischievous smiles, completely unaware they had just started a prank war.

Percy was walking by their room the next morning and he heard a yell, followed by a bang and another yell. He rushed to the door and threw it open before stepping back and letting out a loud laugh.

Fred and George were covered in yarn, talcum powder, and something that looked suspiciously like molasses.

The twins had been pranked, but by who?

Fred and George looked at each other with shocked frowns. They took a breath and breathed out the same words together. "This is war."

"Morning, loves." Molly said, smiling as the twins came down in a sticky, powdery mess.

"How did you do it?" Fred asked, pulling a chunk of yarn from his hair.

"How did you pull our prank on us?" George finished, sitting down at the kitchen table. Molly smiled at the twins as she placed a platter of pancakes in front of them.

"What makes you think it was me, Dear?" she asked innocently before turning and walking to the refrigerator. Fred took the moment her back was too them and dropped a bit of red liquid into Molly's pumpkin juice. The liquid dissolved in the drink as George gave it a quick stir before sitting down again. Molly turned back to them and smiled sweetly.

"Because that was the prank trap we set up in your room." They said together. Molly just smiled and sat down. She picked up her cup of pumpkin juice and gave the boys one last smile. Fred and George shared a mischievous smile and took a sip of their own juice, promptly choking as the hot liquid poured down their throats.

The hot sauce they had poured in her cup had wound up in theirs!

They'd need something better if they wanted to get their mum back.

-w-w-w-w-

A week later and they still hadn't managed to pull even one prank off on their mum. Any time they tried something she thwarted it before it could actually go off on her. They'd tried to get her in her sleep, while she cooked, while she cleaned, while she showered, while she watched Ginny. Nothing they tried worked, and they were getting pranked left and right!

The twins were at the end of their proverbial rope. They had literally tried everything they could think of, with and without magic. The rest of the house had grown quieter than normal, trying to stay clear of the pranking madness that was going on in the rickety house, but some still got caught in the cross fire. Ron's nose grew two sizes, Ginny's hair turned blue, and Percy started to squeak any time he talked. Bill and Charlie managed to avoid the messy war thanks to Hogwarts, but they were receiving owl updates about it almost every day.

Yes, the Weasley twins were ready to admit defeat. They had met a worthy opponent, and she had bested them.

"Wonderful-" Fred started, standing in front of her as she prepared their dinner.

"Dearest-" George continued.

"Brilliant-"

"Worthy-"

"Mum." They finished together. Molly turned towards them slightly warily.

"We wish to declare our defeat. You have proved a thoroughly worthy opponent." They bowed at the waist before offering their hands. Molly grabbed them with a big grin.

"I accept your defeat." She said the twins grinned innocently at her as she turned back to her soup. They backed up, quietly before flat out running from the room. A moment later an explosion was heard through out the house followed by two noises. Mischievous laughter from the twins and a scream.

"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY, THIS IS WAR!"

A/N: That was a flat out blast to write. I might be writing another story based off the young life of Fred and George, I can't imagine the mayhem they would have caused.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a review :D
