Haley's POV

"I'm bored," I said to my two friends as we sat outside in the late afternoon.

"Go clean something," Julianna said as she picked roses for the millionth time this week.

"Uh no," I replied.

We were silent. I looked at Joseph who had his nose buried in a book that he had borrowed from Lord Cornwallis.

"I'm bored," I repeated. There was no answer," I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm Bor-"

"Alright already!!" Julianna shouted as Joseph started laughing," What do you want to do?"

"Psh," I replied," How the hell should I know?"

"You're the one that is bored," Julianna said.

"So? If I'm bored, then you two are supposed to be the ones giving me something to do."

Julianna leaned back in her spot with a thoughtful look on her face. Recognizing that evil grin, I smirked.

"I have an idea," she said, and she ran inside.

"Well that's promising," I said.

"Oh this ought to be good," Joseph whispered.

After a few moments, Julianna came back out, concealing something under her gown. She looked around then sat down next to me.

"I believe you lost a bet to Haley a few months ago," she said as she revealed an orange cap gun to Joseph. He stared at it.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me," he said with a hint of amusement.

"Tonight," she said simply, and dropped it in his lap. She looked across the grounds.

"Hey you guys look," Julianna said,"It's Sir Powder Face."

We looked. General O'Hara was coming towards us, whistling a tune as he walked. He smiled at us when he noticed us sitting there.

"Good afternoon children," he said brightly.

"Good evening, General," we said in unison. Julianna watched in amusement as he walked inside.

"What?" I asked, noticing her look.

Julianna looked at us," I have a hilarious idea."

We stared at her in confusion.

"SO," she said," Is the Trio dead or are we up for a little old fashioned Trio fun?"

Joseph and I looked at each other.

"Aw, what the hell," he said," I'm in."

True, we were all a little afraid to cause some trouble after our incident with the Colonel, but O'Hara wasn't even half as bad as him. We couldn't help ourselves. Plus I was bored, and it was something to do. Lord knows I need a good laugh.

"Ok, so what's your brilliant idea?"

"Follow me," Julianna replied.

We ran inside and down to the basement. We stopped at a door. Julianna pulled the handle and pushed it open, revealing stacks of dud cannon balls.

"Oooooh," I said.

Julianna explained to us what she was thinking of doing, and we loved it.

"I love how your evil little mind works," Joseph said with a grin.

"Let's do it before the Lord General gets done with his meeting."

We grabbed a couple of the cannons and ran out of the room.

I poked my head around the corner. O'Hara was still whistling his tune. He was standing by the door to his room, fixing his jacket. On the other end of the hallway, Joseph poked his head around the corner, and looked at me. I gave him the thumbs up, and he started giggling. Julianna, who had been standing behind me started giggling too. She looked out at Joseph and motioned for him to go as O'Hara started walking towards Cornwallis's room.

Joseph backed up a little and screamed," CANNON FIRE!!"

At that moment Julianna threw her cannon ball through the window, then I bounced mine across the floor and watched it roll towards O'Hara, who screamed an almost high pitched scream and threw himself on the floor. Joseph snuck out from his spot and joined us around the corner as we held our cramped stomaches and laughed. Lord Cornwallis and Colonel Tavington came running out of the room, and stared at O'Hara as the cannon ball rolled down the hall and tapped him pathetically on his side. At that point we booked it back outside to the gardens, before we burst out laughing and gave ourselves away.

"Oh my god!" I gasped," That was so funny! that was so perfect."

"Oh yea," Joseph said through fits of laughter," we still got it."

" That was awesome," Julianna said.

We sat there laughing until tears fell from our eyes. it was a lucky thing that we had a few extra moments to calm down, for Lord Cornwallis, followed by the Colonel and a deeply blushing General, came outside. They stopped in front of us.

"Children," Cornwallis said. We stared at him innocently," Were you out here the whole time?"

We nodded at him. I was really impressed with how good Julianna was keeping a straight face.

"An incident just occured," Cornwallis said. He continued to explain to us what O'Hara had told him, and our faces slowly stretched into smirks.

"You screamed?" I asked, and the General blushed again.

"My goodness, what happened inside?" Jyoti's voice said from behing the Colonel. She pushed through him and sat down next to Julianna, who filled her in on what we were just told. She did not bother to hide her laughter.

"That will do," Cornwallis said. The four of us stopped giggling," As long as you promise that you were not behind it."

We nodded.

"Well alright," he said," I will see you all later."

He walked away with O'Hara following closely behind him. The Colonel, however, stood behind and stared at us. We stared back. We knew he wasn't fooled by us. He didn't say anything to the Lord General about it. We knew he liked seeing the General get humiliated.

"Colonel Tavington," Cornwallis called," I'm over here."

He continued to stare at us for a few seconds and then turned and walked away. We watched him for a moment. Jyoti then turned to Julianna.

"It was you guys wasn't it?" She asked.

In response, the three of us burst out laughing again. She joined in with us.

"Why wasn't I invited," she laughed.

We told her about our plans for that night, and invited her to be a part of it.

"I think it would be more amusing to watch the Trio at work," she said," I have heard a ton of stuff about you guys since I have been here. I have to see this!"

"We have to plan it out first so that no one gets hurt," I said.

"I have a back up plan if something should happen," Joseph said,"Since I'm the one that has to do most of the work tonight."
