Camping Trip Part 4: Camping Tricks Again
An AU Fake Fanfic
"What do you suppose they're plotting?" Ryo asked JJ, as he rinsed his hair next to the stream, not paying attention to the dark streaks in the water that fell to the soil.
"I don't know." JJ had his back turned as he finger combed his hair, not realizing the red coloring of the conditioner. "We just have to..." He trailed off as he brought his hands down. They were stained with red color. "What the...?? Oh, shit!"
"What?!" Ryo whirled, and froze. "You-you're hair..." He paused because JJ was gaping at him. He brought down his own hands. They were stained black.
"DEE LAYTNER!!"
"DRAKE PARKER!!"
The shouts reached the campsite. Drake and Dee exchanged a glance. "I opt for making ourselves scarce." Drake told Dee.
"Right behind you."
"Those....those...." JJ rinsed the last of the colored conditioner out of his hair. "If this is permanent - they're dead."
Ryo held up a mirror, studying his wet, jet black hair. The skin around his hair was stained, as well as his hands and wrists. "How do you get this off your skin?"
"Soap. Provided they haven't done anything to that."
"And hair?"
"Shampoo, if it's not permanent. If it is..." JJ squeezed out his hair, picking up a towel and drying it a little.
"How can you tell?" Ryo turned worriedly.
"It's atleast semi-permanent." JJ told him, looking at his towel.
"How do you know?"
"It's not coming off on the towel." JJ replied. "I'm going to give them a piece of my mind." JJ started forward, but Ryo grabbed his arm.
"No. No, we're not."
"What?! After this, they - !"
"It's like you said two nights ago. We're not going to get mad...We're getting even..." Ryo's eyes narrowed, and he looked in the campsite's general direction.
JJ's eyes widened as he looked at Ryo. "You're a dangerous person to make mad, McClane. I think I'll make note of that."
"Don't I have the right to be angry?" Ryo turned, looking suddenly worried.
JJ couldn't help but laugh at the sudden change in expression. "Yes, every right." He assured him.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Pardon?"
"Dee and Drake." Ryo reminded him.
"Drake and Dee." JJ frowned thoughtfully.
"Dee and Drake." Ryo repeated.
"...Is Dee afraid of spiders or anything like that?"
"Spiders? I don't thing so...Is Drake afraid of spiders?"
"Oh, yah." JJ laughed. "It was pretty funny. At my apartment there was this spider and he freaked. And it was just this little tiny one, too."
"Wait...grasshoppers."
"Grasshoppers?: Dee's afraid of grasshoppers?"
"I know it's odd, but he really is."
"Okay, here's the plan..."
Nighttime...
Dee and Drake walked slowly into the camp. JJ and Ryo were at the look-out point. Dee motioned to a covered pot and bowl near the plates and cups. Drake glance over at the look-out point, then nodded.
"Ew!!"
"Ack!"
JJ and Ryo snickered, glancing back. Dee had fallen over backward from the pot, the bowl was on the ground and Drake was eyeing it warily as he backed away. Their laughter drifted back to their partners.
"That was uncalled for!" Dee shouted at them.
"Need some hairdye!" Ryo shouted back.
"Just ignore them." JJ told Ryo, putting a restraining hand on his arm.
"Red's a good color for you!" Drake called out.
"How's the salad!" JJ called back.
"What happened to ignoring them?" Ryo asked.
"Have a nice shift!" Drake shouted.
"Yours starts at 3!" JJ replied.
"If you can get in to wake us up!" Dee called.
"What??" Ryo lept to his feet, but Dee and Drake had already made it into their tent. "Dee!!"
"They wouldn't!" JJ was also on his feet.
"They would." Ryo crossed his arms.
"You creeps!" JJ shouted out, then turned around to sit back down, watching the factory.
Ryo groaned as he sat back down. "We would have been up twenty-four straight hours as it was. I don't know if I can last twenty-eight or twenty-nine."
"Me either." JJ sighed. "Why don't we take shifts? One of us goes sleep until 3 while the other watches the factory, then switch."
Ryo nodded. "Who gets first watch?"
"I volunteer. I"ve pulled 24 hour days before." JJ told him.
Ryo looked relieved. "Okay." He stood up. "See you at 3."
"Goodnight." JJ turned back to the factory.
3 AM...
JJ, yawning, slipped into the tent he shared with Ryo. "Ryo...Ryo..."
Ryo groaned. "Not now, Dee."
JJ rolled his eyes. "Officer McClane." He tried again, shaking his shoulder.
Ryo shot awake. "What? Oh, my shift?" He yawned.
"Yah." JJ yawned too.
"Okay, goodnight." Ryo stretched and exited the tent.
JJ shook his head as he climbed into the sleeping bag. "Mad as you were, you still dream about Dee? That's ridiculous, McClane. I'd never dream about someone I'm mad at..." He muttered as he fell asleep.
Morning...
"JJ." Ryo shook the younger cop's shoulder.
"Drake, I'm still tired." He murmurred.
Ryo paused, then shook his head. "Officer Adams."
"Yes?"" JJ's eyes shot open. "Oh, Ryo - it's you."
"I thought we might want to eat and leave before Dee and Drake wake up."
"I say we skip cooking."
"So what do we eat?"
"Let's head into town, and eat there."
"We're only supposed to go into town for supplies."
"And we're washing our hair with what?" JJ reminded him.
"Town it is...but they've got the keys."
"Ta-da!" JJ produced a set of keys.
"Where'd you get those?" Ryo asked
"They always hand out two, just in case. And I always keep one...just in case."
"Well, after we get some new clothes on we can go."
"What about Dee and Drake?"
"What about them?"
"Are we going to let them get away with what they did last night?"
"What should we do?"
"Well..."
Drake stretched as he came awake, listening. He couldn't hear anything from outside the tent. They'd locked the zippers on the tent door together so it couldn't be opened from the outside. Judging from the light it was daytime. 'Yo, Dee, you awake?"
"Yah, what's up?"
"Guilt. Shouldn't have shirked our shift."
"I guess maybe we should apoloize."
They were silent for several minutes, contemplating that thought. Suddenly there was several sounds from outside the tent, which promptly fell in on them. "Hey!"
"Whoa!"
They heard the van doors. Then the engine turned on, and grew fainter, before disappearing completely.
"They took the van." Drake said needlessly.
"I don't suppose you have the key to the lock." Dee mentioned.
"I don't suppose your flashlight is close enough to reach without searching."
"Drake, I think we're out of our league."
"Really?" Was the sarcastic response. "So, what are we going to do?"
Town...
"This is going to take forever to wash out." JJ sighed, looking in a mirror. His hair was still shaded multicolors of red.
Ryo sighed, looking at his hair, which was still black. "Atleast our skin's no longer stained."
"True."
"What do you think Dee and Drake are planning?"
"I don't know. But we should be heading back. Though I would suggest buying some boxes with locks to protect our stuff."
"If they haven't been tampered with already." Ryo brought up.
"Good point. We should check through them when we get back."
"Here we are, on assignment, and we're spending twice the amount of time and energy on pranks than we are on the factory we're supposed to be watching."
"Nothing's happening at the factory." JJ pointed out.
"True."
To Be Continued...
As soon as I figure out where to go from here. *lol*
I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed the story so far.
You know, I had this written, but I couldn't get it typed up right away, but someone mentioned the tent being knocked down. Good guess! There was also questions of whether this would turn into a lemon. Well, I definately think that after all this, our couples should make out..er, up. So I'd definately say it'll have lime in it. But w/ ff.net rules I tend to avoid lemons. Hope everyone can be satisfied with a lime.
Anyone have any suggestions for where to go from here? You know you do, don't be shy! :)
