A/N: Okay, so a friend posted this basic idea on facebook. It's a video that some Asian dude decided to do exactly this same thing, but instead of a couch, he went through drive-throughs. And yes, majority of the drive-throughs were McDonalds. Anyway... let's just say he freaked the workers out because NO ONE was in the car. At least, that's what it looked like. So I altered it slightly to give you this!


Ghost Couch

Washy and Massy are back in action! Due to needing a little help in planning, I have asked West to come join us for this one. This is East Washington, aka Washy. Anyway, our next prank is being done during a get together with Dad and Uncle Canada. If I explain it to you, then that will ruin the fun, however I will say this; dad is going to get sooooo much more paranoid... At least, I hope that's all that happens. Hehehe. Okay, so, Massy and I needed to create a sort of replica of the couch that would be in the house they were staying at. At least a part of it.

Anyway, with West's help we created a perfect replica of a seat. Now, we weren't going to remove the couch, instead we were going to just replace a cushion with me and Massy. West helped get the portions correct, while Massy and I made the patterns. Once that was finished we arrived a few hours before dad and Uncle Canada would get there and set up.

I removed the cushion and sat on the board, or whatever it is called that is underneath the cushions, and West put my camo on me. I sat cross-legged so my feet weren't sticking out. Massy did the same thing. We used material that we could see out of see out of, but they couldn't see through. West gave a smirk, letting me know everything looked perfect. She then took the cushions and put them where they wouldn't be found easily. I'm not sure where they were put, but they were hidden. We just finished as a car was pulling into the driveway. West was to make sure that we weren't sat on.

I had no idea as to what West had in mind, but I trusted her enough to know she'd pull it off. The door opened and Rain had moved to the kitchen. Once Dad and Uncle Canada entered Rain came out and welcomed them.

"Dad! Uncle Mattie! Welcome!" West greeted.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be doing paperwork?" Dad asked.

"Paperwork is so boring and East wanted some work so I dumped it on her. She wasn't too excited about that, but I never get to see you!" West replied.

She did what?! She didn't tell me that all her work was being faxed over to me! I said SOME work, not all… I'll have to plan on getting her back.

"Watch yourself. Oh yes, you better sleep with one eye open." I mutter.

Apparently, silence was reigning when I said that, because I heard dad yelp in surprise. I looked out of the corner at Massy upon hearing a snicker from her side of the couch. It wasn't going exactly as planned, but this was better than nothing.

"What was that?" Dad asked, I could only imagine him looking around.

"What was what? I didn't hear anything. Besides, I've made some dinner for you two. It's never a good thing to talk on an empty stomach." West stated.

Now that she's said something, I could smell the food. Okay, that's just cruel and unusual punishment. West is so going to be paid back for this!

"I know where you sleep." I made my voice somewhat hoarse and tried to give it a different accent.

"There it is again! Are there ghosts?" Dad's tone was clearly borderline freaked out.

"Of course we're ghosts! We're ghosts of Days past and Days Present." Massy replied disguising her accent pretty well.

"Gah! Mattie, there's ghosts!" I could only imagine dad jumping into Uncle Canada's arms. I had to stifle my laughter.

"That's interesting, I don't hear anything. Are you sure you're hearing it? Perhaps it's just your imagination." West replied calmly.

Okay, Uncle Canada had to have known what was up. Interestingly enough I hear Uncle Canada's voice next.

"Al, I'm only hearing the wind. There's nothing there."

What?! Uncle Canada is playing along? Oh this is too good. But then again, it's no fun if only dad is scared. What to use to get Uncle Canada scared, but not go into angry Canadian mode? This is when I wish I knew a little more about Uncle Canada. West, apparently, caught the same thought that I had… oh yeah, did I mention we're twins? I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

"Wind? I'm not hearing any wind, Uncle Mattie. Are you sure you're hearing the wind?" West asked.

Aaaaand cue the song 'colors of the wind' from Pocahontas in my head. Unknowingly I began to hum it in a low, almost inaudible tune. Massy joined me shortly thereafter. From the reactions of dad and Uncle Canada, they were not enjoying this.

"Umm, I'm going to go…. Sit on the… uh… couch." I heard dad say before hearing his footsteps coming closer.

Well, crap. Massy and myself ARE the couch! I mean, sure, being personifications did have its perks, but dad is… well, let's just say being the big nation that he is, he's not as light as say, oh, Idaho or even Hawaii. Thankfully our costumes were more than just fabric… but we weren't sure how well they would stand up to someone sitting on them. When dad came closer I held my breath. Thankfully he sat in the middle and lay down. I felt my phone vibrate, and I'm sure dad did too. Why I think that, you may ask? Well, dad shot up and jumped off the couch.

"What was that?" I heard.

Ya know, it's really really annoying not being able to see what was going on… oh well. Hopefully West put the camera up and is recording it.

"What was what?" I heard the innocent voice of West.

Oh, so that's how West was going to keep them off the couch… that's smart. I definitely wouldn't have thought of that. Uncle Canada came over with Kumajirou in his hands. He set the bear down on the couch and the bear curled up and went to sleep. Thinking dad had enough of looking over his shoulder every second, I decided that I would save them from being anymore embarrassed. I moved quickly, putting my feet under me and jumping into dad's arms. Of course I flung off the cover before colliding, but I got to see his look! It was priceless!

He surprised me anyway, because even though he was about to jump away and run and hide, he somehow managed to catch me in his… frozen-in-fear state. Massy did the same thing with Uncle Canada. He wasn't as scared as dad, but he did jump! Once Massy and I were put back down on the ground the three of us; West, Massy and me, laughed. West held up a camera, and I clearly understood what she meant.

"Dudettes, that was awesome!" Dad cried running over to us.

Huh, so he wasn't going to scold us. Uncle Canada on the other hand, looked like he would get his revenge… uh oh, that was not going to bode well for us… not well for us at all. I will have tell West once we're out of earshot; we're going to have to raise our defenses.

"Did you get it?" Massy asked running up to West.

"Yep. All that's needed is to put it on the computer and upload it." West stated.

I knew where she was going to upload it. You have a lot of places to upload items when you are the technological capitol of a nation… or at least have the main HQ of the biggest computer/software company. I began to wonder what she would use Microsoft's help for. Either way, it was going to be epic.

"Where are you going to upload that?" The three of us turned to the unusual tone.

Uncle Canada was looking at us with a glare. I gulped and looked at West. West and I shared a look at we both nodded at once. Massy had no idea what was going on, but West and I knew that it would take some diplomacy to prevent a war… a prank war.

"Umm, well, we'd, uh…" West stumbled with what she was going to say, then tried for a change in topic. "Did you like the present I gave you Uncle Mattie?"

Uncle Mattie just continued to look at us with that look of his, "I did. Now, where are you going to upload that?"

West's distraction failed… this was not going to bode well.

"What West meant to say, is that we will…umm, upload it after making uhh..." I was having difficulty coming up with a word to fill in.

"Corrections." West filled in for me.

"Yeah that's it! Corrections! Massy will help too!" I said putting my arm around Massy.


*hours later*

"What was that about?" Massy asked.

"Uncle Canada is not one you want to start a prank war with. Not when he's got BC and Alberta." I said.

"Huh? Why?" Massy asked.

"It can get worse than New York and Texas in the same room. They have ways of pranking you that are unheard of." West explained.

"It's downright scary. And that look that he sent us? Yeah, that clearly says that he will not hold back." I explained.

"Okay. So what's that got to do with me? I'm not on the border." Massy asked.

"That's just it, you're close enough… and you have" here West and I looked around.

"Quebec." I finished for West in a whisper.

"That bad?" Massy asked.

"Sis, just pray that you never have to be in a prank war with a Canadian." West stated.


Washy: Crap, I should have probably warned ya about Uncle Mattie, huh?

West: You forgot?

Washy: What? I don't get to meet him as often as you do!

Massy: I still completely don' t understand why you two are scared of Uncle Mattie.

Washy: I just hope you don't have to experience it... If BC is any indication...

A/N: Canada is NOT amused... not sure why I had him not like it... but, meh. It's fun this way. XD

Ok, so I have to give a slight reason (or explanation) as to why I think Canadians are good pranksters. It all can be summed up like this:

If you can come up with a drinking game out of a harmless children's game, what's stopping you from getting ideas for pranks?! That's just a creepy thought, eh? Besides... they're the quiet and nice ones, and their universities have slightly more workloads than the US (If what I have heard is correct), so they have quite a few ways of getting interesting pranks... I'm assuming.
