A/N: First Time We Pranked Master Eraqus, as requested by Amulet Misty. Terra's thirteen years old here, and Aqua's twelve. Again, this chapter isn't betaed, so if you catch any errors, don't hesitate to let me know.
Thank you: TopazDragon98, Amulet Misty, and Walker of Nothing.
~ Now just try to take that shirt of yours off, Terra. You get all my money if you succeed by yourself, she thought, smirking. ~
"There he is! Quick, let's hide!" Terra whispered, when he heard approaching footsteps in the corridor.
He quickly pulled Aqua with him towards the long, yellow curtains. The latter nearly lost her balance because of the force he used to pull her along with him.
"Oops, sorry," he whispered, unable to hide the grin that adorned his face.
The bluenette let out a nervous giggle. "It's okay. I'm starting to get used to it, anyway."
This earned her a playful push from the brunet boy.
Their hideout didn't have to be that special, because they wouldn't make use of it for longer than a few seconds. Here was hoping that their preparation hadn't been all for nothing. That would really suck, especially because they had worked so hard to make sure they would succeed...
As soon as the two had ducked away, the door, which was slightly ajar, started to move. Before Master Eraqus had a chance to do anything, the bucket that they had managed to balance carefully on top of the door tumbled down and fell on top of his head. Confetti in all the colors of the rainbow rained down on his form, but all he did was just stand there, completely tense.
"Uh-oh, looks like he didn't like our prank," Terra muttered, worried now.
The man removed the now empty bucket from his head and ran a hand through his hair to get rid of the tiny pieces of colored paper. "Sometimes I wonder how I survived these past years with the two of you," he muttered under his breath.
Fortunately for them, Master Eraqus could laugh at their creativity (and at the fact that it was only confetti that rained down on him, not a bucket of water or any other slimy substance that would take hours to wash out of his hair).
"But you have to promise me to never pull a more dangerous prank than this one, okay?" he said to his pupils.
They both nodded and cried simultaneously, "I promise!"
-Five years later...
It took all of Aqua's willpower not to erupt into a mad fit of giggles, because Terra looked absolutely ridiculous. Oh boy, he was going to be furious when he found out what she'd done to him! So the last thing she wanted to happen now was the brunet teen to wake up.
She wasn't finished with him yet, though. Now that she'd managed to glue Terra's hand against his cheek without him waking up, it was his other hand's turn. Quickly and agily, Aqua took his other hand that was resting on his stomach, and put some of the fast-drying glue that she'd found in her room on it, knowing very well that it wouldn't be too long before he opened his eyes. She had to hurry if she didn't want him to see her here and ask what the hell she was doing in his room when he hadn't asked her to come in...for the second time this week. Therefore, she just put his hand against his other cheek this time. That saved some time.
Of course, it would have been even more hilarious if he'd woken up and discovered that his pillow was glued to his other hand. But she could always save that for a next time.
The pretty bluenette stepped back to admire her new masterpiece. Now just try to take that shirt of yours off, Terra. You get all my money if you succeed by yourself, she thought, smirking.
With that, she turned around and tiptoed out of his bedroom, smiling at the thought that a big, nasty surprise would await Terra when he woke up. It served him more than right, though.
And now, it was time for a great breakfast.
A/N: The second part of this chapter was a nod to 'Prankwar', my most popular Terqua story on this site. It's a snippet of the fifth chapter: Glue 'em Together! For those of you who might have read it: yes, the results of this prank was exactly why Master Eraqus had warned them to be careful...
Next chapter: "Terra misfired a fire spell. That's what happened."
