Cappie woke up to a crazy racquet coming from the backyard. He rolled over and saw the ultrasound picture framed sitting on his nightstand. Noisy brothers waking him up was good practice for when his son or daughter woke him up in the middle of the night. He got up and looked out his window. The brothers were running drills of some sort.
"What the hell is going on?" Cappie asked when he came out onto the back porch.
"Just preparing for war." Beaver said, handing pledge Pickle a water gun for target practice.
"Got to be ready for an Omega Chi retaliation." Heath added.
"Good to know." Cappie said. "Keep practicing."
"You got it chief." Beaver replied. "Pledge Spitter we need more balloons."
Cappie sat in one of the lawn chairs and watched in amazement. The Omega Chi's are going to be sorry they ever messed with Kappa Tau. They were hitting every target perfectly and their refueling time was almost nothing. The Kappa Tau's were going to win this battle without a problem.
Since the brothers seemed to have a handle on things, Cappie decided to see what Rebecca was doing. He got up from the chair and walked over to the ZBZ house.
When Cappie rang the doorbell, he was pleasantly surprised by who answered.
"Casey. Hi." He smiled.
"Hey. How's it going?" She replied.
"Just dandy." He chuckled. "The brothers are running covert ops in the backyard. We'll totally beat any kind of Omega Chi retaliation."
"You boys and your silly wars." Casey giggled.
"Speaking of wars; how's the presidential take down going?" Cappie asked.
"Ash and I are digging up dirt as we speak." Casey smiled. "You here to see Rebecca."
"Yes I am." He replied. "Is she here?"
"Cappie?" Rebecca said, coming out of the kitchen. "What are you doing here?"
He wrapped his arms around her. "I was bored at the house and thought I'd come see what you were up to."
"That was very sweet of you. If you'd like, I don't have class for another few hours; we can go get some lunch." Rebecca replied.
"Sounds great. Just tell me where and we'll go." Cappie said.
"How about that cute little Italian place just off campus." Rebecca said.
"Italian it is." Cappie replied. He turned back to Casey, "I'll see you later Case."
"Bye guys. Have fun." Casey said as the two walked out the door.
"You and Casey seem to be very chummy." Rebecca stated as her and Cappie waited for their food.
He took a sip of his beer. "We're friends."
"Just friends?" Rebecca asked, trying to get him to spill his real relationship with Casey.
"Yes, just friends. I'm dating you remember." Cappie chuckled.
"I'm just checking." Rebecca smiled.
"You have nothing to worry about. You're the one I want to be with." Cappie smiled back.
As the two ate lunch, Rebecca was still suspicious of Cappie and Casey, but she decided to let it go for now. Right now, she had Cappie, so she was in control of the game; a game that had no official rules and limitless amounts of players.
"What did you find?" Casey whispered to Ashleigh in their room. Even though they were in the privacy of their own room, they both knew Frannie could have spies anywhere.
"This girl is as perfect as she looks. It's going to be hard to find anything to use against her." Ashleigh replied, also whispering.
"We just have to look harder. We need this dirt. There's got to be something she's hiding." Casey said.
"We've looked everywhere Case." Ashleigh said.
"Not everywhere." Casey replied. She looked like she had an idea.
"Ooh, I sense a plan. Tell me!" Ashleigh said excitedly. She always loved the plans that Casey came up with.
"Frannie's going to be doing a spa night with the pledges tonight. She'll be in the living room all night which means her room will be open." Casey explained.
"I see where this is going." Ashleigh said.
"Yup. I'll sneak into her room while you watch the living room to make sure she doesn't come back upstairs." Casey continued.
"I love it. This will definitely give us some dirt." Ashleigh said excitedly. The two couldn't wait until tonight to get started.
