Today's prompt goes:
Guest - :How about Niff meet Ottthan and they decide to play pranks on their families (parents, siblings, uncles etc) together and the families ask Wes to prank them back so Wes tells all the Warblers to ignore them so they think they're invisible, and the older Warblers are in on the 'secret prank'
I didn't follow it fully but I hope I'll be forgiven.
Nick and Jeff were laughing happily at the prank they'd managed to pull on Thavid. Thad and David had left the tent they were sharing and got hit with a cascade of water. No one knew how Niff managed to rig the bucket but it had hit Thad and David. Nick and Jeff ran down the path laughing happily. They both thought this was great, so many people to play pranks on. Some they hadn't even pranked before! But they were going to stay away from that really really big dude and Jesper… no Jasper… Mama! That was what the older Warblers called him. Nick and Jeff both recalled meeting the guy at the annual midsummer parties but his name never stuck.
It was great idea of Wes, Trent and um… Bastian? Anyway it was a great idea to do this camping trip. They had a big patch for themselves since there were lots of them. They were staying by a lake and had put their tents up near the water but not too far away either. They had put them up in half a circle and the tent in the middle belonged to Wes, or rather would belong to him when he got there. But there's also where the camp got split. On the left side of Wes' tent were the tents of the older Warblers and on the right were the Warblers that were younger than Wes. Nick and Jeff was sneaking closer to a tent where they knew a Latino, who they thought was called Austin, and the transgender Warbler lived. They were going to put a fake snake in their tent. Nick crawled to the back and threw the snake in. They waited a few minutes and then… There was a shriek yelp and the girl stormed out.
"OTTO!" she shrieked angrily. "NATHAN!"
Her boyfriend hurried after her to calm her down. He was smiling a little. They watched him hold a rubber snake behind his back. But Nick and Jeff were more focused on these Otto and Nathan guys that she'd screamed at. They snuck through the bushes to see where she and her boyfriend were going. Nick had a vague memory of meeting the duo at a midsummer party but he also remembered that they were never left alone with them. Wes was always there or some of the older boys. But why? Then they saw them. Nathan had brown hair and brown eyes and his companion Otto had blonde hair and blue eyes. Jeff tilted his head to the side when he saw the older boys jog by the water. They hadn't seen the furious girl yet.
"OTTHAN!" she shrieked and the boys turned to look at her.
"AAAH!" they screamed in fear and started to run faster but the girl was gaining on them.
"How can she run so fast without shoes?" Otto asked.
"She wears high fashion high heels all the time", Nathan replied as they ran around and around the campsite with Justine after them.
"That doesn't make any sense!" Otto yelled.
"She's used to uncomfortable shoes!" Nathan screamed. "AH!" he dodged a swat from Justine's nails.
All of the Warblers were watching this spectacle.
"For a delicate cherry blossom she is not very delicate when angered", Bastian Nolan said.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Justine screamed at him and before Bastian could reply his brother Malcolm covered his mouth with his hands.
"He said nothing Just", he said. "Oh look Othan's getting away."
"WHAT?! OH NO YOU DON'T!" Justine screamed and took off after them. Nick realized that if his life was a cartoon there would be a trail of dust coming after her and her feet would just be little spots as they moved. He giggled when he imagined the faces on Nathan and Otto.
"STOP THIS AT ONCE!" a stern voice yelled and the two troublemakers and Justine turned to look at Jerry Jonston, the mama of the Warblers and the camp's leader. Nick and Jeff watched as he talked to the running trio about what had happened and Justine's boyfriend walked up to the group slowly. Nick and Jeff chuckled while listening to the lecture but then:
"And ask for forgiveness for the snake too", Austin said.
"Snake?" Nathan asked. "What snake? We only used a spider." Austin held up the snake.
"That's not ours", Otto said. "I swear we've never seen it before."
"Then who's is it!?" Justine yelled.
"Uh…" Otto and Nathan started looking around as did Justine and her eyes fell on Nick and Jeff.
"Uh oh", Jeff said and the two ran.
"COME BACK HERE!" Justine screamed and followed.
Nick and Jeff had no idea how long that crazy lady chased them but they were getting tired. They'd run through the forest to try and shake her off. But she was gaining on them again.
"In here", a voice called and Niff dove into the tent that was held open. It closed before Justine saw where they went. Nick and Jeff lay panting and looked up at their saviors. They were older. One blonde and one brunette. One with blue eyes the other with dark eyes. The blonde grinned.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", he said
And the rest is history. The quartet now started pulling pranks together and it got worse and worse for every prank. Wes arrived to the circus and as soon as he did he was asked to help out.
"Let me see if I've understood this correctly", Wes asked as he looked at the Warblers all around him, older and younger. "You want me to prank Otthan and Niff because they have pranked every single one of you these past few days?"
The assembled Warblers, some with their hair or skin in new interesting new color, nodded as one. Wes had arrived late to the Warbler camping site because he had been sick. But during the week he was gone chaos had erupted around the camp site. It had began almost at once when the pranksters of Wes' past met with the pranksters of his present.
"We don't ask for nothing too humiliating or damaging", Jerry said calmly. "Just something that will teach them a lesson."
"They do this for attention you know", Trent pointed out. Wes had been thinking of a suitable prank and when Trent said that a wicked grin crept onto his face. The other Warblers all looked a little worried.
"Wes", Jerry said sternly. "No maiming, injury, murder or panic attacks."
"Would I do that?" Wes asked and grinned. "But you're right. None of that. I actually have a great idea. This is what we'll do. We'll ignore them completely."
They all stared at him.
"What?" Mark asked.
"Look", Wes said. "Otthan and Niff thrives on us reacting to their pranks so if we stop reacting, if we stop even acknowledging them pranks they'll get bored and they might even think they're invisible."
"That could lead to some amazing black mailing videos", Blaine quipped and everyone laughed.
"Then it's settled", Wes said. "Operation Ghost is a go."
The next morning Otthan and Niff woke later than everyone else, thanks to the sleeping pills Justine snuck into their drinks as an own personal revenge. The camp had made up a system when it came to food. Everyone had to wait in line to await their turn. Since the pranksters woke up late they had to be the last in line. That didn't bother them and they soon had their food and headed for their friends.
"Morning", Nate said as he plopped down beside his boyfriend. Nathan kissed his cheek. No reaction, Mitch didn't even say anything.
"Mitch?" Nate asked. "Baby? Aw you aren't still mad for that prank are you?"
The prank he talked about had been performed yesterday and the victims were Mitch, Bastian Nolan, Ethan Hughes and Joseph Hughes. The four had asked Nathan to get them four bottles of water. Nathan and Jeff had taken the opportunity to put die in the water. Since the bottles weren't see through the four victims had had no idea of what was going on. Until they had seen each other's teeth… Joseph's teeth were now purple, Ethan's were green, Bastian's were the same blue as his hair and Mitch's were turquoise. The worst thing… it couldn't be washed away. It was going to last a month and in two weeks time… Mitch had to make a huge fashion presentation with Justine. His teeth nearly glow with turquoise. He had been so mad at Nathan, which was why he was taking part of the prank. Nathan though was used to Mitch trying to ignore him so he was prepared.
"Aw baby I didn't know about the lasting effect", he said and kissed Mitch's cheek. "I swear. But you know…" he rubbed Mitch's knee. "Turquoise isn't a bad color on you." He kissed Mitch's neck.
"Did you sleep well last night", Mitch asked looking at David. David smiled.
"Yeah, I finally found that stupid spider that kept crawling on me", David replied.
"Maybe it likes you", Nathan said.
"Maybe it likes you", Mitch said.
"I said that."
"Maybe Mitch", David said and shrugged. "So what's the plan today?"
"Just laze around and play some sports!" Otto said happily as he plopped down beside Juan Ferrera.
"Just laze around and play some sports", Juan replied to David's question.
"Copycat!" Otto said happily and punched Juan's arm in a friendly way. But Juan didn't even blink. "Juan? Yohoo!" Otto waved in front of his face. "Juaney-Honey?" Juan hated that nickname and would always slap whoever said it but now he acted as if his hadn't heard. Otto looked at Nathan. Nathan looked at Otto.
"Juaney-Honey", Nathan tried. Nothing. He and Otto both started trying to get a reaction of everyone around the camp fire. But no one reacted. Not even when they stole food from them. Otto and Nathan looked at each other.
"Are we dead?!" Nathan squeaked.
"N-no", Otto said. "We can't be! I mean… I mean… they wouldn't sit here calmly if they knew right?! Maybe… Maybe we're just invisible and they can't hear us either!"
"D-didn't Jerry tell us that story about this place?" Nathan stuttered. "H-how it on certain night makes people end up in the t-twilight zone thingy?"
"Y-you think we ended up there last night when we w-went through the fog?"
The two stared at each other and then ran to find Nick and Jeff. Maybe the two of them were in the same situation as them. As soon as they were out of earshot their friends started laughing. This was going to teach them a lesson. But they had one part left, well two, parts left that would scare the four pranksters into stopping their pranks for the rest of their trip.
Nick and Jeff hadn't had it any easier this morning. For them it was worse though since Wes couldn't see them, no matter what they did. They had hugged him, pulled on his arm and thrown water balloons at him. But he didn't do anything about it all. He didn't even seem to register that he was wet. Then when Nathan and Otto told them they had the same problem and that they were in the twilight zone it made sense to all of them. To them Wes looked wet at the moment and they had pulled on his arm. But for Wes that wasn't real so he didn't know it had happened.
By lunchtime the boys were sitting near the lake. All four looking miserable. No one could see, hear or feel them. They were all sitting there trying to figure out how to get out of this mess. That's when Isaac Newton walked into the glade where they were sitting.
"Hi guys", he said happily.
"His Isaac", they replied and he walked on. Then they realized what had just happened. They all got up and ran after Isaac, singing:
Nate: Isaac, can you hear me?
Isaac turned to them.
Otto: Can you feel me near you?
Otto took his hand and nuzzled it. Isaac looked really confused.
Nick: Isaac, can you see me?
Nick asked and jumped up and down.
Jeff: Can I help to cheer you?
Jeff asked and hugged him tightly to him. Isaac looked even more confused.
All: Ooh, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac
Nate: Isaac, can you hear me?
"Of course I can hear you", Isaac said and rolled his eyes.
Otto: Can you feel me near you?
"With your breath? A dead could feel your stench." Isaac replied calmly.
Nick: Isaac, can you see me?
"I'm not blind so why shouldn't I?" was the reply Isaac gave.
Jeff: Can I help to cheer you?
"There's no need for that at the moment."
All: Ooh, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac
Nate: Isaac, can you hear me?
Otto: Can you feel me near you?
Nick: Isaac, can you see me?
Jeff: Can I help to cheer you?
Ooh, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac!
"ENOUGH!" Isaac yelled and the four looked at him. "Yes Nate I can hear you. Yes Otto I can feel you near me. Yes Nick I can see you. You don't need to cheer me Jeff, good day." He turned and walked away. The four boys looked at each other and ran towards the camp again.
"Guys guys we're back!" they screamed but no one seemed to hear, feel or see them. They ran back and forth between their friends but no one acknowledged them. The boys look at each other.
"ISAAC!" they all screamed and ran after their friend.
"Let me see if I get this straight", Isaac aid and looked at the four boys in front of him. "I am the only one that can see, hear, feel or get annoyed by you four idiots?"
"Yes", the four said. "Wait what?"
Isaac rubbed his temples.
"Why does this happen to me?"
"Hey!" the four objected at that statement.
"We are the ones in trouble here after all", Nate added.
"Do you know why you are the ones in trouble after all?"
Nathan opened his mouth to respond but then closed it again. The four of them looked at each other and then Isaac, but before they could answer a deep voice said:
"Those who enter here are in league with the devil and need to be punished."
The four turned around. Behind them stood a short figure dressed in a black cowl with a hood on it. They couldn't see his face and his hands were hidden within the wide sleeves of the cowl. The four pranksters stared at him.
"Who are you?" Jeff asked.
"Who's who?" Isaac asked.
"I'm Samil", the figure answered. "And this is my domain. The devil appears to believe you guilty of something worthy his attention."
"What?!" the four screamed.
"Uh guys?" Isaac asked when he saw the fear on their faces.
"This is the crossfire", Samil explained with his deep voice. "You can either come with me now and face your doom… or…" He trailed off and just stood there looking at them with invisible eyes.
"Or?" Otto urged when Samil didn't continue.
"Or make amends for your sins", Samil explained.
"What sins?" Nick asked.
Samil turned to look at Isaac, Isaac whoever seemed unaware of it. He was watching his friends with a cocked eyebrow.
"Countless", Samil said darkly.
"How can we make amends?" Jeff hurriedly asked.
"Let me tell you."
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Otto asked his friends as they stood on the pier, looking into the water. They were all naked except for little fig leaves over their more uhum personal regions.
"You are the sons of Adam and Eve and they dressed as such", Samil said calmly. Isaac was watching the four with a wide grin on his face. It had become clear quite fast that he couldn't see Samil, because Isaac wasn't in the crossfire. But the reason he could see them at all was because Samil needed a witness to the boys'… amends making. They had put themselves through all the pranks they'd put their friends through. Not only that but they had to do it in front of Isaac.
For some reason all of their friends were now at the beach, having a great time. Samil had explained to them that they would come back to their world if they died their colors in the colors of the church, which is blue, purple, red, green, black, white and grey and wore only fig leaves. They looked very interesting. David was using his video camera to film the four boys, but for them it looked as if he was filming the water polo game. Nathan sighed and the boys started to sing Barbie Girl. After a little bit the boys watching couldn't take it anymore, not with their dancing and all that and they started laughing hysterically. As did Samil, he laughed with a much lighter voice… a voice the four culprits recognized.
"WES?!" they screamed and Wes threw back the hood and laughed.
"Gotcha!" he said. The four boys blushed and looked at each other… and started laughing as well. The prank had been EPIC!
Okay people I'm not quite ready yet to accept more prompts. So please try to either write the stories yourselves or wait for me to catch up. Thank you.
