"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

Suzuka's Hair is What Color

"Hey Gilliam, we're back." Gene said as he walked onto the ship with Melfina. "We're going to be leaving soon so make sure everything is ready." He told his ship as he walked to the cockpit with Mel.

"All right Gene." Gilliam replied.

"Well since I'm not needed here I think I'll go take a bath." Suzuka said heading towards her room.

Aisha and Jim watched her walk away and tried desperately to contain their laughter.

"How long do you think it will take?" Aisha asked snickering.

Sobering up Jim looked at his watch. "Oh I'd say it'll take about an hour before she realizes what we've done." Thinking back on their little project, he started laughing. "She's –ha- going to –ha ha- kill us, you know that right?"

"Yeah, but it will be so worth it when we see her face." Aisha replied with an evil glint in her eyes.

"That it will." Jim said nodding. "Well how about we go and get some food while we're waiting?"

"Let's." She said smirking. "I don't want to sit around waiting it'll just make us look suspicious."

Jim just rolled his eyes. 'Yeah, like Suzuka will have any doubt as to who the guilty party is.' He thought. 'I hope her reaction will be worth all the pain we'll be in. Cause we will definitely be in a lot of it by the time she's done with us.'

oooooOne Hour Later

Aisha and Jim were sitting at the kitchen table when they heard an ear shattering scream.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH. WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?" Was heard from a few doors down.

"Quick, get the camera ready." Aisha said as she faced the hallway waiting for their victim to arrive.

Suzuka had just finished drying her hair when she looked in the mirror. She blinked and looked closer. Yes that was really her with BRIGHT PINK HAIR! Screaming she ran out of her room in search of the ones responsible.

Running into the kitchen she was suddenly blinded by a quick flash. After clearing her vision she looked over and saw Jim holding a camera and clutching his sides as he laughed, while Aisha was rolling around on the floor because she was laughing so hard.

"WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TO ME?" She yelled, effectively getting both of their attention.

"Ha haa hah." Aisha could only laugh, Suzuka just looked too funny.

Suddenly Gene and Melfina came running in. "What's going on we heard your scr—haha hhaaaa." Gene started to ask but seeing Suzuka with pick hair made him burst out into laughter.

Melfina was trying to be polite and not laugh, but she wasn't able to, so she covered her mouth trying to muffle the sound instead.

Turning to face the newcomers Suzuka glared. "You think this is funny?" She asked venomously while pointing to her hair. Looking at the laughing pair she huffed and turned her attention back to the evil ones who had done this to her. "What did you do?" She asked again her eyes narrowing.

"We –ha- put some –haha- hair dye in –ha- your shampoo." Jim managed to say between laughs. "But I didn't think it would turn out this great." He said trying to control his mirth.

"Yeah Suzu, you look –snicker- great." Aisha said snickering. "I think you should keep it this –snicker- color."

Giving Jim and Aisha a murderous look Suzuka walked towards them and swiftly grabbed the camera from Jim's hands. Knowing that it would be pointless to try and get it back Jim stayed rooted to his spot.

Gene, who had seen Suzuka's look and decided it would be safer anywhere but there, did the smartest thing he'd ever done. He grabbed Mel's hand and took off.

"You two," Suzuka said pointing at the now nervous pranksters. "are dead. But being as I'm honorable I will give you a" she paused tapping her chin in thought. "five second head start."

Gulping Jim looked over at Aisha to see her visibly shaking. 'Perhaps we did go a little far.' He thought worriedly. 'I hope she doesn't kill us this time.'

Suzuka looked into their eyes. "Five."

Aisha and Jim bolted out of the kitchen as fast as they could. Neither of them wanted to be on the receiving end of her punishment.

"Four." She said as she slowly picked up her wooden sword and took a few practice swings.

"Three." She could still here footsteps and swearing in the distance as her prey tried futilely to escape her wrath.

"Two."

"One." She said smirking, her eyes lighting up evilly. "Times up." With that she calmly walked out of the kitchen with one thing on her mind. 'Payback.'
