Kino: I'm finally updating this. Gosh, Shakespeare is really addicting! Ha ha, that's funny because Shakespeare is my anti-drug. I'm working on chapters for my other stories, as well as a surprise story... No, it is not another Shakespeare meets Bionicle! it's... different.

115 Ways to Annoy the Turaga

The Second way to Annoy the Turaga

"I can't believe that didn't work!" Kotu exclaimed, causing Takua to wince. "It was so perfect. It was flawless. How did it go wrong?"

"I have no idea— and I'm the one who pulled it off!" Takua said.

"You didn't pull it off, he had ear plugs in his ears. We would be one less Turaga at this point."

"Wait are you saying that I could actually fire Turaga Vakama?"

"Yeah, basic law, hello. Where were you when we went over this? You were sleeping, then, weren't you? Okay, basic law states, that if a Matoran feels that a Turaga is not living up to their duties, he and slash or she—"

"'And slash or'?"

"Shut up. Anyway, if a Matoran feels that a Tuaraga is not living up to their duties, then he and slash or she may fire the said Tuaraga."

"Unbelieveable!"

"What, the fact you can actually fire Turaga Vakama?"

"What? No! The fact that the writer used 'and slash or'."

"It happens."

"Who wrote it?"

"How would I— You're joking, aren't you." It wasn't a question.

"You've gotten good."

"Yeah, I know. So anyway, I'm going to need that ladder now."

"Why do you need the ladder?"

"For my prank, duh."

"What are you planning on doing with it? Planting a bucket of water above the door and wait until the come through to see them sobbing wet? Because, if you are, I already did that, several times. Toa Tahu opens his door very carefully, thanks to me."

"No wonder he doesn't like to visit Ga-Koro anymore."

"I know, I'm a genius. Will you tell me how your prank goes?"

Kotu just grinned, leaving a very confused and excited Takua behind to ponder at the thought of putting another bucket of water above his Koro's Toa's door.

Hahli gazed worriedly up at her friend. She was helping her to lift warm blankets and fluffy pillows onto the top of Kotu's hut.

Kotu had said she wanted to stargaze tonight and needed as many warm blankets and fluffy pillows as the two of them could find.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?" she asked in her ever soft voice.

"Could you bring me another blanket?" Kotu asked, settling onto the highest part of her hut.

"Sure."

Hahli climbed down the ladder uneasily. When she reached the lily pad, it rippled with the water under her feet. Grabbing the last blanket, and tucking it under her arm, she began to climb up again.

Hahli thought as she climbed, Now would be a good time to tell her I'm afraid of heights.

"Thanks a bula berry bunch, Hahli." Kotu said.

"Always glad to help a friend. Well, goodnight. If you need anything else, you know where I'll be."

Kotu waited until Hahli was gone before sighing and leaning back on the fluffy pillows. Yep, it most certainly was going to be a long night.

Turaga Nokama glanced in at all of the sleeping Ga-Matoran, smiling. Slowly, she made her way to the last of the huts.

Tip-toeing, she looked inside Hahli's hut. She was asleep. Doing the same quiet action, she moved onto Kotu's hut. She wasn't there.

Frowning, she stepped inside and looked about. The mischievous Ga-Matoran was on the loose.

Carefully, she watched her footing and scanned all shadows before heading out to scratch the top of her mask.

As she stood there, confused, a great fluffy pillow landed straight on her head.

Glaring up, she spotted blankets. Looking off to the side, she found a ladder. Smirking, she climbed it.

Nokama found Kotu snoring peacefully atop her hut. The smirk grew wider as she got an idea. Winding up her trident, she carefully aimed to make sure that the Ga-Matoran would fall below safely.

With a resounding 'thunk', Kotu yelped and leapt off her hut and into the cold waters of Naho Bay.

The old Turaga found herself giggling as she climbed down.

"Turaga?" Hahli asked, having been awakened.

"One of Kotu's pranks, Hahli. You'd think she would have been smarter. Sleeping on top of her hut, humph. She could have at least waited until after I did my rounds."

"Prank?" Hahli was a bit taken aback. Kotu had told her she would be stargazing, not sleeping on top her hut.

Kotu sighed as she stood by her friend.

"Well," she said, "at least I'm not the only one to have had my prank foiled."

Kino: Another prank gone to dust. Ah well, maybe someone else could get a good prank in.
