Mission; Scare Gill! Part 1

~Author Note (A.N): Sorry for the long wait! I might have sprained my arm after I wrote half of this… O_O" But I still wrote it! :3 And thanks to my first reviewer,CAPJHMPAgirl, who helped me fix my writing. I'm still sorta new, but anyways, chapter 04! :3~

Hikari was sound asleep in her sheep pajamas her parents had gotten her 2 months ago before they left, again, to take care of their other farms far away. "Hikari! Hikari! Hiki! Oh, come on! I see sheep running away!" Luke called to Hikari in her ear, and since Hikari adored sheep, she bolted right out of bed, Luke rolling his eyes and laughing.

"Wh-where's the sheep!?" Hikari said sleepily, her red hair totally messed up from too much rolling around in bed. Luke sighed and got her turquoise hair elastic from her drawer, gesturing for her to stand up.

"Mornin' Luke…" Hikari sighed, giving him an annoyed look that she woke him up so early as a daily routine. Each morning, he always woke her up at 6:00 exactly, so she could practice waking up each morning before she became a real farmer.

"Morning Hiki. Today's gonna be a lot of fun." Luke exclaimed, putting the hair elastic in his mouth as he braided Hikari's hair, since she couldn't braid it from behind. Hikari yawned, and Luke chuckled, since she always looked so funny when she yawned.

"Huh..? Oh… yeah, the prank we're gonna do on Gillian." Hikari remembered, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she picked out clothes for that day.

"Mhm!" Luke murmured, the hair elastic still in his mouth, until he finally braided her hair.

"Thanks Luke. And by the way, Luke," Hikari said, looking at Luke as she grabbed the rest of her stuff so she could change in her orange bathroom (yes, she loves the color orange, just like Rin Kagamine, my favorite Vocaloid of all time x3).

"Yeah? Come on, hurry up. I wanna do the prank soon!" Luke complained, getting all jumpy and excited for the prank. Hikari sighed at his enthusiasm, and walked over to the bathroom door.

"How'd you learn how to braid?" Hikari asked, her eyes lighting up as Luke's face flushed. She smirked at his face and leaned against the door pane.

"W-well…. I-I used to, uh…. Braid my hair…" Luke said quietly, his face turning a light red. Hikari stifled a giggle at Luke's facial expression.

"What was that, Lukeian?" Hikari asked, smirking at Luke's nickname, coming up with it after she heard Luke's nickname for the pompous rich boy, Gill.

"I… I used to braid my hair." Luke said, his face growing an even darker shade of red. Hikari giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Oh really?" Hikari said, smirking at her little comment. She absolutely loved to get on Luke's nerves, especially about his hair techniques. She already knew about his hair and how he used to braid it so he could be 'mommy's little girl', but it didn't stop her from teasing him anyways.

"Yeah, really..." Luke said, remembering what he used to do every day when his mom was alive…

*Flashback from 4 years ago*

Luke's mother, Emma, was at her black stained coffee table, sighing as she looked out the window at Bo, trying to copy Luke's chopping techniques, occasionally hitting his large wooden stick he pretended as an axe, on his forehead, making him fall to the ground, rubbing his new bump on his forehead.

"Mommy, come see this! I made you something!" Little Luke called to his mother, and he smirked, prepared to make his mother squeal. He knew she absolutely wanted a baby girl, but since daddy had said that mommy wouldn't bring any more babies home after Bo, she had been depressed for what had seemed like eternity.

"Coming, Luke." Emma sighed, slowly getting up from her coffee table and walking towards where Luke's voice had come from, which was the bathroom.

"Hurry up mommy! I can't wait all day! Bo's waiting for me to go outside!" Luke called to his mother, and she attempted to pick up her pace, with no such luck. Once she reached the bathroom, her eye's widened, a large smile spreading across Luke's face. Luke had tied his long blue hair into a braid, making him seem like a girl with those big golden eyes and adorable smile.

"What do you think mommy? Do I look like a pretty princess?" Luke said, grinning and adjusting his braid so it caressed his face, and Emma just stared. Suddenly, she burst out laughing and hugged Luke, her eyes full of tears threatening to fall.

"Thank you Luke…" His mother whispered in his ear, and Luke's smiled widened even more.

'I'll wear this all the time, so mommy is never sad anymore! Now just how do I explain this to Hikari…? Oh well!' Luke thought, not caring about what his 4 year old friend would say.

"You're welcome mommy… I love you." Luke mumbled into his mother's ear, and they stood there hugging for what seemed like forever, but what was actually 5 minutes.

"Now, how about I make you and Bo some banana pudding?" Emma asked, and Luke cheered as he raced to go tell Bo, his braid still in his hair. Emma just grinned and walked back to the kitchen to get the banana pudding ready for her son and her daughter.

*End of flashback*

"Luke..? Luke! Earth to Luke, come on, snap out of it!" Hikari called into Luke's ear, snapping out him out of his flashback and causing him to fall on his butt. The two tricksters laughed as Hikari helped him up, as she had just finished getting dressed into the regular outfit.

"You ok, Lukeian? You were out of sync for about 5 minutes now!" Hikari said, shaking her head, making her braid move from her left arm to her right and back again.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Just a little daydream, you know? Now, let's go get our pranks on! We have 5 hours before Gillian gets to the tree, so let's go!" Luke cheered, as did Hikari. They quickly grabbed all their materials for the prank, and raced to Brownie Ranch, yet again being watched by 2 pairs of blue eyes.

'Watch out, you evil tricksters, because I'm about to get my Juliet on!' Luna thought, jumping up from her hiding spot and racing to Mayor Hamilton's house, followed by Candace, and a strange red head girl.

"Gilly-poo, don't worry! I will save you, and you WILL become my Romeo! ~" Luna squealed out to no one, and raced on ahead, leaving Candace and the red head in the dust.

"Humph! That was RUDE! Come on Candace, darling! We have to save Lukey-kins from that witch, Hikari!' The red head girl stated to Candace, and rushed on ahead toward the over excited Luna, making Candace sigh.

'I don't like making my friends angry at me. I guess I have to do what Luna and Selena tell me to do…' Candace thought, addressing the red head as Selena. She slowly began to jog toward the over hyper 8 year olds, now slowly getting closer to Mayor Hamilton's house to warn Gill and the Mayor about the terrible prank going on this afternoon.

But Gill was already halfway there to Brownie Ranch…
