Chapter 14: All Is Fair in Love and Prank Wars

For the next few days the halls were filled with screams as Maria caused pranks to Fandral for revenge and Loki his brother for fun. It was mostly amusing when on the third day Maria had told Loki of a very devious prank to pull off. Thor and Fandral had kidnapped Maria in the earlier days as a payback prank taking her idea of dumping snow on the others and using it against her. Her skin had turned blue as she woke up in bed and yelled "Holy hell nuggets I am awake" the two pranksters were laughing down the hall and the front of her white tunic she used for sleeping was now see through to the point she caught Fandral gawking at her form which was now see through because of the soaking water on the garment. Taking one of her daggers she chucked it to where they had both been as they dashed off laughing.

"Oh it's on." she had said as she enchanted Fandral's mirror with a spell that exact morning which would turn him into a female the next day. The tricky bit about the spell was that it was a layered illusion spell. When Fandral would next look into the mirror he would turn into a female but he would see himself as his usual male self. Later the next day she found Loki in the dining hall as she sat down grinning.

Loki saw Maria grinning as she sat down. "You certainly look happy. What did you do to Fandral?"

Maria grinned "You'll see" she said before taking a bite out of an apple. "He and Thor mostly, Fandral and him were being perverts. I just turned the tables you could say."

Fandral walks into the dining hall thinking all is well and when Loki notices Maria turned him into a female he bites back a laugh.

"What is wrong with you two?" says a very confused Fandral that is until he notices the voice change. "I apologize voice seems to have cracked"

"Fandral, you look ravishing." Loki smiled while trying not to laugh.

Maria chuckled "Utterly dashing"

Fandral sits down next to Maria. "That is my title: Fandral the Dashing." Fandral winked at her completely unaware that he was a female.

Loki chuckled to himself. "She does not mean it in that way."

"What does she mean?" Fandral raised a brow.

Maria held back a mischievous grin "I think his ladyship does not understand the problem yet. Loki it's such a beautiful day for pranks do you wish to join me in one?" she said the hidden code being and she hoped he could understand it she was basically saying. "Best prank by far this week."

Fandral tilted his head confused "I think you have me confused Maria. I am not a lady."

Maria chuckled and walked out of the dining hall "Whatever helps you sleep at night Fandralina" she said before heading out to groom Kuro.

Loki looked to the very confused Fandral and chuckled "She pranked you really hard my friend." he said laughing as Maria left.

Fandral looked to Loki "How so?"

Loki chuckled and summoned a non enchanted mirror handing it to the poor gent turned into a Lady. "See for yourself."

Fandral took the mirror and when he looked in his, more or less now her reflection, the color drained from his face. "She turned me into a female?!" he seemed to turn red from embarrassment at this comment.

Loki laughed "I do not know how she accomplished such a feat but it was brilliant I tell you brilliant." tears of mirth had actually formed in Loki's eyes as he wiped them away.

"So that is what she meant by dashing" Fandral grumbled. "Why does she only prank me?"

He said with a pout as he crossed his arms his feminine voice making Loki chuckle. "This is not amusing Loki"

Loki chuckled but sighed regaining his composure amused at Fandral's punishment. "Did you spy on her pervasively?"

Fandral sighed before grumbling. "Maybe…" he said. "She had a beautiful form when we pranked her…." he took notice of Loki's glare. "What? It was your brothers idea I just followed along and took in the sights."

Loki chuckled and sipped his tea "I did warn you Fandral. Maria is a one man only being." he smirked at his friend's predicament. "I am one lucky god."

Fandral ate an apple. "So how do I get out of this prank then?" he said looking to Loki. "The one your fiance placed on me."

Smirking Loki stood up and walked out of the dining hall before replying "Apologize to her. Maria forgives but she rarely if ever forgets."

Fandral grumbled but his pride would not allow him to apologize to her so he sat down on a bench crossing his arms. "How did I not know I was female before now?"

Loki chuckled "a possibility is that she used an illusion trick on you dear friend." he smirked a bit amused at Fandral's theatrics. "I might ask her how she accomplished the spell for future use." he said. "My guess is that you were filled with your ego my friend." Loki chuckled. "I for one am amused this was indeed a brilliant prank"

"You would be amused wouldn't you Laufeyson?" Fandral held up a mirror to his face. "I still look quite handsome." He remarked to himself.

Loki arched an eyebrow and shook his head. "Even as a female you are still full of yourself Fandral." he said before leaving the room. "I wonder how long this spell will last." he smirked. " Hopefully a long while. Well good luck on your endeavors." he said before heading to the stables where he found Maria grooming Kuro.

"How long does your prank last?" Loki walked over to Esmeralda and gave her a sugar cube

Maria smirked "Ahhhh so he realized the genderbend did he?" she said as she groomed Kuro who seemed to chuckle nodding his head up and down. "The spell will last for however long it takes him to apologize" she chuckled.

"Then I think we may be stuck with a female Fandral for all eternity." He chuckled as he began grooming Esmeralda's mane. "He has too much pride to apologize."

"I will bring popcorn for the amusement then" Maria almost laughed. "I prank as a lesson teaching as well as amusement. He will find out something about pride soon enough."

"What do you have planned?" Loki smirked.

"That spell does more than just gender bend the person" she grinned "It makes the person its cast upon experience what it is like to be of the opposite sex" she smirked "Normally my brothers challenged the other to do it for twenty four hours but….." she bit back a chuckle "they sometimes forget women tend to have a cycle."

Loki barely held back his laughter. "So, Fandral will begin her cycle and then practically beg you to change her back? That is ingenious." he smirked "You devious little devil." he said as he watched her grin back.

Maria chuckled but grinned "I am terrible aren't I?" she said placing a hand on her ribs doubling over with laughter. "I will be so amused when he begins to realize the pranks effects."

Sif arrived at the stable. "Maria."

"Yes?" Maria said innocently somewhat confused now when Sif enters. "Who is summoning me?"

"Fandral requests your presence immediately." Sif's eyes had just a twinkle of mischief. She approved of Maria's prank.

"Sif what could possibly be the matter?" Maria said smirking at the warrior she said faking shock.

"I think we both know what he is going through." Sif held back her laughter.

Maria eyed Sif with fake surprise shock "Do tell." she said but curious. "Is Fandralina in any pain?" She said trying to control her laughter and heard Loki bite back his own laugh. "If she is I wonder what could have caused such distress." she said biting her own laughter back.

"She has started her monthly cycle and it is extremely painful. That is why I was sent to fetch you." Sif smiled.

Maria smirked before breaking into laughter. "Oh this prank is good revenge. Tell Fandralina that the spell would last until he apologizes for his rude perverseness this morning." she said leaning on the wooden door of the stable. "Otherwise she may be stuck like this for a while" Maria smirked. "Sif admit it you are completely amused right now and want to laugh."

Loki doubled over laughing as well as Maria talked before replying "Brilliant absolutely brilliant."

Sif laughed a little. "I am amused. After all the pervasive flirt jokes Fandral has made, he deserves this."

Maria full on smirked "Appropriate yes?"

"Completely appropriate." Sif nodded her head in agreement.

Maria sighed "He still has to apologize for being a peeping tom though. I think he thought it would be amusing to look through my nightshirt when a bucket of ice water is dumped on me." she said with a shrug. "His apology to me when he means it will break the spell on its own." she smirked "Lets see how long this lasts." she said. "I will go with you Sif and tell him the same. Only he can change back into a he though." she shrugged. "I will even be amused if Thor has a blushing fit mainly because it was his idea to dump the water over me." she said casually.

Sif led Maria to Fandral's home in the city. She opened the door and the three of them saw Fandral on the floor in the fetal position.

"I now wonder why you have the key to his home Sif?" Maria said with a chuckle

"He gave it to me so when I found you he wouldn't have to unlock the door." Sif laid the key on a nearby table and smirked when she saw Fandral. "Women are weak, huh?" She smiled at Fandral.

"Urgh this is agony." moaned a very cramped up Fandral.

Maria chuckled "The spell will only end Fandral once you apologize." she chuckled "I wonder why I did not think of this sooner." she said leaning against the wall arms crossed clearly amused.

"You are a devil Maria." he said no matter what he would not apologize to her his pride was taking a major beating with this torment.

Maria smirked "Heh, thank you Fandral, I take that as a compliment as I learned from the best uncle devil ever in hell." she said sassing him back.

Fandral turned to glare at Maria. "Why torment me? Thor was part of the prank as well?"

Maria grinned "Oh your predicament will also affect him I can assure you."

Sif looked to Maria. "What does this prank do?"

Maria grinned and whispered to Sif "Let us just say this Thor might think Fandral as Jane Foster and maybe try to make out if he does not apologize." she chuckled

Sif covered her mouth both in shock and almost choked on laughter "You are terrible Maria"

Maria grinned "Tell me something I do not know." she looked to Fandral. "So are you ready to apologize Fandral?" she asked arching an eyebrow.

Fandral glare "Why should I you fiend?" he said turning away as he curled into a ball.

Maria shrugged and replied "Suit yourself. Though I believe you might need someone to aide you while you determine your mind as to if you will apologize. Enjoy the month." she said as she was about to walk away she heard Fandral groan. "Sif, I cannot help a person that does not help themselves. Do you want to stay with Miss Fandralina here?" she said as she was about to open the door.

Sif nodded. "I shall stay with her during this time of pain and agony." She hid her smile.

Maria smirked "Suit yourself Sif. If he decides to apologize call me I shall return again." she said as she exited Fandral's home and teleported back to the stables where Loki was grooming Esmeralda smirking. "Oh he is doubled over with pain." she said laughing.

Loki looked up from where he was with Esmeralda grinning. "You must teach me that trick Maria I imagine if it was cast on my brother I may die of laughter."

Maria grinned. "I can't reveal all my tricks of the trade can I?"

"Maybe it can be a wedding gift?" Loki smiled hoping she would say yes.

"Alright" she smirked "Turning Thor into a bridesmaid would be pretty amusing." she said "Though now I have to figure out another surprise gift to give you." she said trying to think of something in the dark corners of her mind that way Loki could not read it.

"I have quite a surprise present for you." Loki's eyes glinted with mischief. "I can not wait to see Thor as a bridesmaid especially since I told him he would be my best man."

Maria leaned against Esmeralda's stall door which separated Loki and her. "I wonder how many surprises you can shock me with because I intend to surprise you with something at the very least." she said smiling.

"It is rare that I can be surprised but you are a rare woman. Perhaps you can surprise me." Loki walked out of Esmeralda's stall. "What kind of surprise are you planning?"

"I am still thinking on it." she smiled "Though I will try my upmost best to surprise you with a gift." she said. "Also even if I knew what the surprise may be I would never tell. Where is the surprise in that?" she chuckled.

"I shall not tell you your surprise either but I promise you'll love it." He purred into her ear and then walked to get a bucket of water to bathe Emeralda.

Maria nearly blushed but kept herself calm as she grinned at Loki. "Flirt." she smirked in response before walking to Kuro's stall and brushing the knots in his mane. "Kuro, I swear where did all of these knots occur from?" she said as she ran the brush down his mane. "I just brushed you yesterday and today how can it be this matted?" she said shaking her head as if scolding a child. Kuro seemed amused before shaking his head back and forth again as if scheming. Maria was not aware that Kuro had done some flirting of his own to Loki's horse Esmeralda.

Loki sighed, "Same here and she is usually so clean. Perhaps Esmeralda snuck out or something." He directed his words to his horse which knocked the bucket of water all over him. "At least I know you were up to something." Loki mumbled as he examined how wet his legs were. "Maria, I hope you aren't laughing." He semi-threatened her.

Maria turned around to notice this as she had been completely absorbed with working on Kuro she now just noticed Loki's predicament and covered her mouth with her hand to hide a semi shocked semi laughing expression. "What happened?" she breathed out not revealing her laughter before walking up to Loki. "Here let me help with that water." she said holding out her hand she used her frost magic to levitate the water out of the stall and on Loki's clothes before sending it off into a bucket. "There better?" she said semi smiling a bit.

"That is better. Thank you but I detect a smile. Was my predicament amusing?" Loki began washing Esmeralda's mane again.

Maria went back to grooming Kuro. "No just happy to help." she said casually the amusing thought hidden deep in the dark corner of her mind. "Who dumped the water on you?" she said curious.

"Esmeralda dumped it on me." Loki removed a few knots in her hair. "I think she knows something."

"Same with Kuro" she replied eyeing her horse. "He is acting off today." she said and as she said it her horse attempted to nip her fingers before shaking his head amused again. "Ayyup something is definitely off."

"I wonder if it means something?" Loki thought aloud as he kept washing Esmeralda. "What do you think Maria?"

Maria eyed Kuro and Esmeralda "I think something is definitely off. Does Esmeralda have hay in her mane?" she asked taking out some of the pieces of hay in Kuro's mane.

"Yes." Loki picked out a few strands of hay. "Do you have a theory?" He continued to remove hay from her mane.

"I don't even know." Maria said facepalming herself. "Kuro, tell me one thing and be honest." she said looking to the horse. "Nod up and down for yes left and right for no." The horse neighed and nodded. "Ok. Did you by chance flirt with your stable friend here?" she asked and Kuro shook his head left and right. "Why do I doubt that highly….." she said facepalming herself.

"He flirted with her?" Loki walked into Kuro's stall. "What exactly did you do?" he asked the horse not really expecting a response.

Kuro turns around in his stall his rear facing Loki's face and Maria puffs her cheeks "Kuro how rude!" she was frustrated with the horse. "Kuro, I swear if you did what I think you did-" her voice is cut off as Kuro kicks the straw into Maria's hair. "...Ok sheesh…" she said. "Someone is being a spoiled brat…" she muttered before heading out the door with Loki and locking it behind her.

"I think they did what we think they did." Loki noted as he walked out of Kuro's stall. "That is the only reason they would both be acting like this." He closed Esmeralda's stall door.

Maria eyed the two horses before looking to Kuro. "You sir are not getting out of being a father if you screwed her understand?" she said talking to Kuro who suddenly turned around and neighed in protest. "Nope you are not getting out of this one you horny horse." she said dusting herself off. "I am off to shower myself off" she chuckled as she walked with Loki.

"Speaking of children, we have not had sex with protection or anything. Have you felt weird?" Loki asked with concern hoping, praying that she was not pregnant.

"No I have not felt weird." she said walking with Loki. "Why?" she knew he was worried about her having kids as she chuckled "I actually took precautions using a spell so do not worry"

Loki sighed with relief. "You are one amazing woman Maria" he smiled and hugged her from behind as the afternoon sun was high in the sky.

Maria chuckled "I have to be prepared on some extent" she said as she and Loki walked into the palace and she went to her room. "Now if you will excuse me good sir, I have to get washed up." she said smirking.

Loki grinned mischievously. "I shall see you later then." Loki teleported himself to her shower and waited for his darling Maria to arrive.

Maria shook her head smiling as she entered her room and chuckled as she locked the door to her room, she grabbed some fresh clothes. Then, removing her hair tie she let her long brown hair fall about her shoulders ending at the small of her back, as she entered the bathroom and stripped her dirty clothings turning on the warm water of the shower.

"Hey, a little warning would be nice." Loki complained as his wet clothes appeared on the floor.

Maria jumped startled and replied "I thought you went to your room Loki" she said as she entered the shower noticing Loki now naked. "Hang on a moment I will get you a change of clothes she said and was about to step out of the shower when Loki pulled her back in.

"My clothes are just a teleport moment away." Loki whispered into her ear as he pulled against his chest."But you my darling are very elusive" he said smirking as the water made their bodies slick. "And I just had to catch you" he said as he kissed the pulse on her neck and let his hands roam the upper part of her body. "I have not been allowed to see you since this morning darling." he said as he pulled her tight against his body.

Maria gasped as Loki pulled her into his embrace she was trapped yet again and could only imagine as to what he had planned. But just imagining as to what he might do to her sent a shiver of pleasure up her spine. "Loki could I please wash up first?" she chuckled no matter where she went it seemed that he was always trying to take her. Whether it be in bed, the shower, or for gods sakes the horse stalls. She smiled a bit and taking a bottle of sweet smelling rose liquid soap she poured the soup on her hand as she stepped away from Loki allowing her hands travel all over her body forming a lather before rinsing it off. Her back was to Loki and she sensed his gaze on her body as she rinsed off. As suddenly as she thought his name, Loki's form pinned her against the wall of the shower from behind. This position actually made her blush red as she felt his hands travel all over her form from being pinned. That and the combination of the cool tile of the wall of the shower did not help matters.

"Let me." were his only words as he took the soup from her hands and did the same actions as she had. His hands massaged her breast causing her to gasp as his touch traveled to in between her thighs. The cold of the tile and the warmth of the steam from the shower made her gasp as he continued.

As he bathed her, she bit back a small moan as his hands traveled her body. "You enjoy my touch don't you." Loki whispered seductively in her ear as he inserted a finger within her wet arousal. "So wet for me. I'm beginning to think that you really do love me." He teased as he began with a slow pumping action as his palm rubbed over her clit. Pleasuring Maria as he felt her arch and bite back a gasp. "I am going to do so many things to you once we are married my dear. Things you cannot even imagine." He replied as he trailed kisses along her neck and inserted another finger into her. As he continued his slow torment of pleasure upon his fiancée, he heard her gasp as he curved his fingers into a come hither motion, rubbing right over a sensitive spot inside her.

Maria gasped as Loki tormented her in the hot shower blushing red before she smirked a bit and made her rear graze his arousal on accident. "And what if I enjoy your touch Loki?" she said his name purposefully almost in almost a dark seductive growl of her own as she leaned against his tall form. What surprised her the most was when he growled deep in her ear almost demanding and dominant.

"Turn around" where the only words that Loki had been able to manage at this point. Her scent teased his nostrils as she stood there pinned and at his mercy. Her soft flesh was pressed against his own as he felt his own arousal harden against her own soft flesh of her rear. His voice was the combination of a gasp and a growl as the next words exited his lips. "If you do not turn around immediately Maria I will enter you from behind torturously slow." He loved her surprises and her sharp wit since the day she helped him sleep to the day Sigyn was removed from the palace. Unlike others whom he had met before her, Maria was not some damsel in distress, she was not weak, and he loved that about the lovely woman pinned against his form. Not to mention she did not fear him as others usually did. She challenged him and he enjoyed the challenges that she brought with her kind but fire spirited nature.

Maria turned around as she put her hands to hold onto Loki's neck as she looked up at the trickster god grinning. "And if i am rebellious?" she said before Loki picked her up and pinned her against the tile.

Loki smirked before tracing a path of nips down her collarbone "Well then I will make sure to slowly pleasure you till you beg me to enter you hard." He ran his hands up and down her sides, smiling when he saw her shiver slightly.

Maria's body let out a slight shudder of pleasure from anticipation as she cupped Loki's cheek and kissed him lightly on the lips. "And if I want to enjoy the slow pleasure what then?" she asked as she smiled up at him. (done) (hope that helps)

"Then you shall get a lot of enjoyment." Loki smirked as his hand slipped down between her legs and played with her folds as he pinned her against the wall of the shower. As he ran his thumb along her clit. He knew she was not going to yield easily and was a bit shocked when she pulled him into a kiss that left him breathless. "Maria…" he said as the growl in his throat formed as he pulled her against his body.

Maria pulled Loki into a passionate kiss as he pleasured her she arched a bit at the touch. She smirked as he tried to tease her he was always full of mischief and she loved that about him. However she sometimes thought that he enjoyed her own mischief.

Loki nipped at her bottom lip as she kissed him and ran his fingers around her entrance but he never actually entered her. "You cannot resist me forever love." he chuckled as he nipped her collarbone then moved to Maria's breasts.

Maria arched as Loki teased her she knew he was trying to get her to yield but like always she would not without a slight sense of rebellion.

Loki placed his finger just inside her entrance, teasing her. He was so close to entering her and yet so far away. "If you yield I can give you an amazing orgasm." He kissed her cheek lightly.

Maria smirked as she kissed Loki lightly "And what if I do not yield?" she asked innocently tilting her head to the side almost teasing a bit as she felt him turn the water off before nipping her ear causing her to gasp.

Loki smirked as he continued his detailed exploration of Maria's body taking in the taste of her skin on his tongue. "If you do not yield my dear I will make it so you will begin to beg for me to enter you."
