A/N: I am writers' blocked in almost everything. SO let's work on Harvest Moon Pranks! Interesting request, TheSoundofMelodies. Here it is!
Victim: Gill
Prankers: Hamilton and Molly/Hikari
Producer: Wizard
Witness: Witch, but I call her Vivi here. Let me know if I had it wrong.
OWSI: Eh, you can decide. I'm not totally sure.
This was out of the blue, and at this point, I still have no idea what prank to pull on Gill.
… (Currently on the internet, researching…)
AHA! I GOT IT! I HAVE A PERFECT ONE FOR GILL, BOO YAH! Sorry to Gill fans, but don't freak. It's funny and non messy. Now I just have to get the humor right and this will become my favorite chapter! TheSoundofMelodies, THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA SOOOOO MUCH. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THIS INSANELY AWESOME IDEA, OTHERWISE. :D
Onwards!
"Hm…you say you want to prank Gill? Where am I involved?" asked the red haired, girl, Selena asked. Molly wanted to prank at Gill for April Fools' Day and she needed Selena's help.
"You don't have to do any of the pranking. The only thing I need from you is a bottle of old nail polish. Like one you don't even need anymore or has a really ugly color." Molly explained, crossing her fingers hopefully behind her back as she waited for Selena's response. Selena wasn't the one to give up something like nail polish so easily.
"Well, I could give you a bottle, I suppose. What will you do with it, though?" Selena inquired curiously.
"Well, you see…" Molly whispered in Selena's ear, and the red head giggled.
"That sounds really funny! Can I come to watch?" she asked excitedly.
"Sure!" Molly exclaimed. "The more the merrier!"
"…So…you want me to….help…you…?" Wizard asked cautiously when Molly narrated her idea of pranking Gill to him.
Molly and Wizard were best friends. Somehow Molly never seemed to really be able to get along well with the other townsfolk, except Selena, Wizard, and Hamilton, the mayor, AKA Gill's insane father.
"Yes! And we still need to get back at him for being so mean, right?" Molly was bursting with happiness that the Wizard seemed to take her epic idea into consideration.
"…Okay..I….will help…you….What do you…need?..." he stuttered and maybe Molly just didn't take notice, but he blushed a little. So Vivi hadn't been lying earlier…
"Yay! All I need is a sheet of something called, 'parchment paper'. Do you know what that is? Or maybe you could possibly have it?" Molly tapped her chin in curiosity, confusion, and to the Wizard, cuteness.
Although he normally didn't use things invented by mortals, he did know what their things were and how they were used. "Ha ha…I…know what it..is…Wait…here..I'll go and fetch…it…" And he quickly walked off to search the cupboards.
Wizard, after a while, found the long and skinny box of parchment paper. He strolled back to where Molly appeared rather impatient and excited.
"Finally!" Now, the prank book said to, 'lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat and sturdy surface.' I wonder what that could possibly mean…" she trailed off, deep in thought trying to decipher what the book could have possibly meant. Wizard chuckled a bit. Molly was so cute when she was clueless like that. If only their relation could take a small step further…
"Here. I'll…handle that…part…" he opened the box and pulled a fairly medium sheet of the parchment paper, while Molly admired his work in fascination like a child dreaming to become a professional football player.
"Now, we spill some of this nail polish on the paper!" Molly exclaimed, searching her pockets for the maroon glass bottle that she'd tucked in her pocket earlier when she was with Selena.
"Nail…polish?" the Wizard was genuinely confused as Molly had been earlier with the parchment. Only even more than she had been.
"Yeah, weird girls paint their fingernails with it. Now hand me the parch- whatever it's called."
Wizard handed her the sheet of parchment paper and observed Molly's actions as she skillfully opened the strange and bizarre bottle of nail polish. He then gazed absorbedly while she spilled a small pool of the now (Wizard realized) smelly liquid onto the parchment paper, making a small, neat little puddle. He mentally noted that there wasn't the smallest bit of mess in sight with rather a pleased satisfaction.
"There! Now all we do is waiting 'til it dries. Then we peel if off." Molly explained with a mischievous glint in her eye.
The duo played checkers, chess, and wand tag (Wizard didn't know at all what it was) for several hours. Then they checked on the "Creation of Revenge", as Molly had begun to refer to it.
"It's all ready! See?" asked Molly as she pulled the parchment paper off. And now they were left with this strange oval-shaped thing…
"…What do we…do now…?" Wizard asked cautiously, examining the newly made object in Molly's hands.
"Let's go!" Molly cried and she grabbed his wrist securely and tugged him to the Town Hall. What am I getting myself into? Wizard thought, groaning and smacking his palm against his face.
"…So, what…do we…do?" he asked, as they began to near the Town Hall and Molly waved to Vivi, who was standing outside, and Hamilton, who was holding a bizarre silver box that the Wizard had never seen before.
"Just watch." Molly smirked mischievously and whispered something to Hamilton and Vivi. They all snickered simultaneously
Molly peeked into the Hall. There was no one inside, so she gestured to the others to follow her inside. Hamilton thrusted the strange box into poor Wizard's hands, leaving him disorientated and perplexed and looking stupider than ever.
"…Wait. What is…this…for?.." Wizard asked, before Hamilton had a chance to scamper inside. He spun around.
"Oh! All you do is record us doing the prank! See, press this button, and, ta da! Now just stay quiet, and if you see Gill, say a codeword!'
"What is a…codeword?" What was a codeword, anyway? Wizard thought, bewildered at the new word. Mortals were really strange…
"I'm not going to explain it all. All you have to do is say 'Sparky Sparky Boom!' when you see Gill." Hamilton explained gleefully before skipping enthusiastically into the Town Hall.
"….Okay…" Wizard just stood there, not sure of himself. He didn't know how to use the strange metal box in his hands, but what was the stipulation anyway? He had enough memory to be able to know what happened precisely. Wizard was a Wizard, not a stupid mortal. He was smarter than most.
With Molly, Hammy, and Vivi~ Not POV. Just what they're doing~ :)
Molly scanned the room. Where is his desk? She wondered. Hamilton pointed over to a tidy, plain mahogany desk that had a fresh stack of files. In front of the stack laid a small sign.
It read, "Gill Hamilton".
"So, which paper would be the most important to him?" Molly asked aloud, shooting Vivi a glare to stop her from touching the glass globe on the bookshelf. Both girls looked at Hamilton inquisitively.
"Well, the deed for some place is pretty crucial. How about the deed for your farm?" Hamilton shuffled through a file drawer and pulled out an oak tag file folder. "Here, put the nail polish on this."
Molly quietly placed the small dried nail polish on to the paper. Then she sprayed some water for extra effect.
"Wow. It really looks like you spilled nail polish on it." commented Vivi, as she awed at Molly's work.
Just then the Wizard came rushing in.
"…Sparky…Sparky…Boom…"
"OH NO! HIDE!" Hamilton quickly dove for his desk. Vivi, Molly, and Wizard joined him. They all squirmed, trying to get in a spot where Gill couldn't discover them.
Then they heard footsteps walking in.
At first, the feet seemed to stop in the center of the room. Then they continued on to Gill's desk. Molly recognized a pair of black shoes. It's Gill! she thought. Then she heard Gill's aggravated voice.
"FATHER. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Gill's enraged face would've been something Molly wanted to see. Too bad she couldn't take a peek, especially when she was squished between Wizard and Hamilton.
"I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE MY PAPERS ALONE!" Molly shook a little at Gill's fuming shout. He'd always be grumpy, but not this angry. She even felt a little sorry for Gill. Hamilton could get annoying every now and then.
"FATHER? GET OUT OF WHERE EVER YOU ARE! I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HIDING!" the quad of pranksters exchanged fretful glances as footsteps neared their hiding place. Soon, eight alarmed eyes met a pair of exceptionally heated blue ones. Out of natural intuition, all four criminals screamed, well, except for the Wizard, who kept his cool and calm demeanor.
"Uh, hi?" Molly asked shyly, waving timidly, hoping in the very least to humor Gill, although she knew very well that his lips wouldn't even at least twitch a bit. Then she was bombarded with the very last reaction she had been expecting from him. In fact, Gill stunned everyone.
"You guys, ha-ha, are the, ha-ha, the, ha-ha, most hilarious group of people I have ever seen in my life! Oh, the horrified faces of yours! So priceless!
"What?" Vivi had been assuming that Gill would punch each one of them in the face right away.
"Did you guys ever t-think th-that S-Selena w-would k-keep it a s-secret?" Gill slapped his knee, and then he had to face the daggers that Molly shot him with her furious eyes.
"She told you? Where is that jerk?"
"I didn't think you'd be so gullible." said a highly feminine voice that sounded from the door. Hamilton, despite his reputation for normally being friendly to all of the townspeople, growled faintly. All four of the pranksters climbed out from under the desk and stood up to face Selena and glare at her. She ruined everything!
"Speak of the devil. Well, anyway, this means PRANK WAR!" Vivi dramatically pumped a fist in the air. Four versus two! We will so win!"
"Yeah right. We'll recruit Angela. She is the queen of pranks, you know." Selena retorted.
As if on cue, Angela walked in.
"I'd love to be on your team, Selena!" she cheered happily. Then Celia, from Forget-Me-Not-Valley, walked in, too.
"I am so joining Molly and her team!" she cried.
Then Luke walked in.
"I AM GOING WITH CELIA! AND WE ARE GOING TO BE CALLED THE EXTREME TEAM!"
Everyone groaned. This was going to be 'extreme', alright.
