THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! To everyone who favorited/followed this! You people are awesome! Also a special THANK YOU! To every one who sent me a review- you people rock my world and make my day a little brighter! Not even kidding or exaggerating. Seriously, I love reviews.
Ok I'm done now. On with the day.
Day 10
M: Luffy! I need your help today!
L: With what? More pranks?
M: Yes. Ace turned my room into a giant birdcage, locked me in it, and then spread a bunch of pictures of me sleeping inside it around. A minute hasn't gone by since that didn't contain a smirk, snicker, or the none-too-subtle bellow of laughter. If he wants a war, he'll have it, but I can't hold my own alone. Will you join me? Permanently, or at least until this war is over? I need an ally, Lu.
L: (considers for a moment) What will I get if I join you?
M: You will be given permission to harass your brother and Thatch, and extra meat at dinner.
L: Ok. I'm in.
M: Yes!
L: So now that I have agreed to join you, what will you have me do?
M: (thinks) I have no idea. We already revealed your relationship with Zoro, had you play the "I am leaving the pirate hood for the Navy" card, and pretty much gave Ace the fan girl-nightmare plague. We have also already followed thatch around like ninja-stalkers and gave him a small case of paranoia. I can't really think of anything else like those at the moment.
L: So do you want something elaborate? Or something effective?
M: Effective is key. Elaborate I bonus.
L: ok. Well if you can't think of anything elaborate, but effective, why not go with something simple but classic and effective?
M: What do you have in mind?
(With Ace and Thatch)
A: ...and so he was chasing me across the deck and I hid behind Pops. Marco was about to go phoenix on me but stopped after pops pointed out that trying to kill me that way wouldn't be very practical because I was fire. Marco actually SCOWLED at Pops and I think that was what finally made Pops ask what happened. (Ace tries to suppress a laugh and continues) A-And so I took out one of the pictures I was holding on to and showed it to him- (laughs a bit) and he-he starts laughing so hard th-that the nurses had to try to restrain him! Hahaha! (Tears of laughter stream down his face as he breaks down into uncontrollable laughter).
T: (Laughs along with Ace) Ahahaha! That's hilarious! I wish I were there to see Marco's face! That would have made everything totally worth it!
A: aha! Yeah. It was funny. By far tops everything we have done to that man by FAR!
T: Agreed! Though I could have done without the splinters and broken thumb.
A: There is a reason you aim before swinging a hammer. It's like in pool. You don't line your stick up perfectly and practice the movement just to change it up as you're doing the actual motion.
T: I know, I know. I just don't get how I could miss so often! I am surprised my thumb isn't mush from all the abuse it took just getting the perch up.
A: you didn't learn...
T: oh just shut it. But like I said, TOTALLY worth it.
A: absolutely! ... Pfft. His face when he saw everybody looking at the pictures! (Again breaks down into uncontrollable laughter) Excuse me. I have to use the bathroom for a moment. Be right back.
T: Haha! Don't piss yourself before you get there!
Ace didn't reply. He was too busy laughing his head off while trying to hold it and run to the bathroom in record speed. When he made it, he was ready to burst and quickly went to the toilet, unzipped him pants, and relieved himself. Sometime while he was doing this, he felt wetness on his feet, like he was standing in a puddle. He looked down and saw that that was exactly what he was doing. It took him a moment to register exactly WHAT he was standing in and how it got to be there, but when it finally did compute with his brain, he felt like an idiot. He quickly got some towels, a bucket, a scrubber and some soap to clean the mess up, all the while cursing Marco's name. When he was finished, he went back out to meet Thatch again.
T: Took you long enough. What happened? Did you fall overboard several times on the way back?
A: (bitterly) no.
T: What happened then?
A: Marco is what happened.
T: Oh really? So what was his revenge?
A: he put clear plastic wrap over the toilet and I didn't notice.
T: ... Hahaha! That's a CLASSIC! You should know to expect that sort of cruel trick in a prank war that, might I say, YOU started.
A: I know. I just thought we were being elaborate and original here. Considering his previous pranks, I didn't think he'd go classical.
T: (snorts) so... How messy was it?
A: Extremely.
A/N- ok. Sorry this wasn't up a little sooner. I just want to add a few things.
1) Marco and Luffy were not following Ace around to predict when and where he'll go. The put plastic wrap over every toilet on the ship, warned everybody to stay away from the bathrooms unless they want to be pulled into the prank war, and also told them to stay quiet about this so ace and thatch didn't find out.
2) Luffy and Marco were not formally a team until now. Now they are. So if you guys want me to come up with team names or want to come up with them yourselves, tell me. Please. Thank you
3) I know I said I am not running low on pranks, but I do love a huge list to choose from! Suggestions are very much appreciated :D (thank you Pokepika's Haunt!)
