A/N- So, in case you guys didn't know, XxBlackEaglexX has started a story of her own. It's called Fireworks in Hollywood. Read it, she's doing really good. Personally, I love it.

-MOMENT OF ADVERITISING ENDS-

I recently broke my computer chair. The wheel just snapped off, and I swear to grapes that it had nothing at all to do with me leaning back on it all the time. I'm innocent! I am not a chair-breaking kind of girl!

DUIUSUCULUAUIUMUEURU!U- We do not own the Maximum Ride characters. Not now, not ever.

Chapter Twenty-One

written by MissMusic17

I was so going to kill Rissa for this.

It took forty-five long minutes to scrape the gunk out of my hair alone. The rest of me took another half hour. I was furious at her. I needed revenge.

I got dried off and dressed without really looking at what I was doing. I was planning. After I had finished up, I thanked Max for using her shower, and walked down to our room. Opening the door, I saw Ash lying on the couch, channel surfing, with Rissa nowhere to be seen. He looked up, and seeing me searching for her, explained.

"She went down for breakfast in the lobby with Iggy, Nudge, and Angel."

I nodded. "Good. I need to get her back. Don't tell her, okay?"

"My lips are sealed." He said, grinning.

I grinned my best evil smile, and stole Rissa's beloved MooMoo (her iPod Touch) out of her duffel bag. My hostage. If I get hurt, so does MooMoo, so I'm safe. Now, on to my real revenge. If Rissa was going to do this to me, well, let the prank wars begin!

I went into the bathroom, and grabbed our shampoo bottle. I opened it up and squeezed all the shampoo into the trash, and turned to Ash.

"Hey, do me a favor and make some bright blue hair dye. A lot of it."

He grinned, realizing exactly what I was doing, and his eyes went black, and a second later, I felt the bottle get heavy again as it filled with the dye. I smirked, and stuck it back in the shower.

"Okay, now, all we have to do is make sure Rissa takes first shower." I told him, settling in for a bit of a wait.

LATER THAT EVENING…

What did Gina take me for? An idiot? When it had gotten late, they both said I could take first shower. When I'd sqeezed out the shampoo into my hand, I had noticed that it was bright blue, not clear, and it stained my hand.

I just skipped washing my hair.

When I had gotten out, they were asleep on the bed, probably thinking that I had fallen for their little tricks. But I was the queen of pranks, and so I ran back in there and grabbed the 'shampoo'. I rubbed it into their hair, thanking my lucky stars that they didn't wake up.

Those two would have a big surprise in the morning.

THE NEXT MORNING…

I lazily opened my eyes, not really feeling like waking up, but I did anyway.

I glanced up at Ash, still asleep, a small smile on his face. His shirt was wrinkled from sleeping in it, his beautiful eyes were shut, and his hair was a nice, neon blue. Wait, blue…?

"OH MY GOD RISSA WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO HIM?" I screeched, wondering how it had gone wrong but still knowing Rissa was to blame, somehow.

"Good morning sunshine!" she said, smiling at me.

"What. Did. You. Do."

Rissa just grinned. "Well, you didn't really think I was dumb enough to fall for the hair dye, now did you?"

A horrible realization dawned on me, and I grabbed a strand of my hair, held it up to my face, and screeched again. It was blue too.

By now, Ash had been woken up by my yelling, and saw me. He started to laugh, and I slapped him. I was not in the mood for anything funny.

"Look at yourself, we'll see who's laughing then." I told him, effectively shutting him up. Rissa laughed at his face, and called out toward the couch.

"Ain't this great?"

Oh no. Would the horror never end? I looked over at the couch, and yes, the whole other flock, all seven of them, even Dr. M, was sitting and watching us, faces red from holding in laughter, except for the Doctor, who looked upset. We had an audience. I gave them the death glare, and they burst out laughing. Great. My scary face is funny now. At seeing the intensified glare, though, Dr. M offered a peace treaty.

"Why don't we go have some fun today. There's an off road track nearby, you kids could go and do something together that doesn't involve pranking each other."

Oh yeah. Dirt bikes and me have had some fun times together. Bring it on!
