Part Two
Chapter Two
After their first failed attempt, Duo and Wufei vowed to stay up until they thought of something that would work. They sat down and pondered weak spots, and finally came up with a plan. They rushed around the house, gathering everything they would need for the not-so-intricate-plan. Once everything had been assembled, they got dinner, and waited for everyone to go to sleep.
"Hey Wu-man, you think they're sleeping?"
"They should be... and don't call me Wu-man."
They grabbed what they'd need and slowly made their way down to Tamen's room. During their brainstorm, they had noted that Tamen slept quite heavily and decided to use this to their advantage. Duo snickered when he looked at the bottle in his hand. Indelible. He didn't know what that meant, but it couldn't be good. They finished the plan swiftly and without any problems... until Tamen woke up.
Tamen yawned and stretched her arms above her head. She walked over and sat down at the vanity in her room and picked up the hair brush. She started to move it through her hair, when she found that it was quite hard. Looking into the mirror, she saw that her hair, which used to be a strong electric blue, was now a just-as-strong-royal purple. She growled and stood up. They were going to pay for this.
She made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. When she entered, she saw Wufei and Duo stifling laughs. She calmed herself to the point where she could get to the other side of the room without throttling both of them, unless they decided to make a...
"What happened Tamen?" Wufei asked, trying to sound innocent. That did it. Tamen grabbed the nearest piece of silverware, which just happened to be a large wooden spoon, and beat Wufei over the head with it until he was unconscious.
"Do YOU want to try me?" She asked Duo, sounding extremely agitated. Duo quickly shook his head 'no' and then made his way out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his room.
The rest of Tamen's day was used to peroxide out the purple, and replace it with it's original blue, but the others, were using this time to make additions and corrections to their plan.
Two-thirty in the morning
Since Ashley was up anyway, she decided to go see if everything would be fit to start prank one. She walked down the stairs, and down the hall. As she opened the door to Duo's room, she saw him and Wufei leaned up against the side wall. They tried to stay up she thought to herself. They didn't seem to be moving, so she went back up the stairs and woke up Kelly and Heero, and ATTEMPTED to wake up Tamen. After several futile attempts, they left her to her sleep. She could hear about the triumph in the morning.
"Quickly. We must go now. Super glue?"
"Check"
"That's pretty much all we need for this one. If they try to get us back, we can bring out the big guns."
They all snuck down the hallway and back into the room. On their way down the hall, they found Tamen, who looked like she had been beaten. I guess morning isn't her good time...They took hold of her and dragged her down the hallway. As they opened the door, they found Wufei and Duo in the same positions as before.
"Begin."
The team worked fast, as to be out before they were noticed. The glue was poured onto Wufei's hand, and then, using much precision, the aforementioned hand was attached to Duo's newly unclothed rear, thanks to Tamen. They made sure everything would set for the morning, and left the room, satisfied with how well this war was going already. Tamen was the only one who had been hit, and that was to be expected.
They all went back into their rooms, Tamen, had just barely hit the bed, and she was asleep.
"She's worse than ALLISON!"
Ashley took Tamen's laptop and went back into her room to wait for the blood-curdling scream, that would happen only three hours later.
She was just about finished checking all the stories she had missed, when the scream was heard. Duo's most-likely she thought to herself and went to wake the rest of the house so they could see how their workmanship paid off. Kelly in her room jumped out of bed the minute she heard the scream. She woke up to certain things, and this was one of them. Tamen even heard the scream and made her way to the room. As they all reached the partial opened door, they saw light spilling through it. They smirked and approached the door. As they entered, their smirks widened to smiles, and they burst out laughing. There was Duo dragging Wufei around the room squealing like a girl, and Wufei, trying to hold himself to a spot to get his hand off Duo's butt. Even Heero had to smile at the hilarious picture they made.
When Duo and Wufei heard the laughing, they turned to see everyone pointing and laughing like they hadn't laughed in years.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Duo shouted. That just made everyone laugh louder. Ashley brought out the camera and took a picture, pocketing it as soon as it started to show the site before them. Everyone left to leave Duo and Wufei alone to fix their problem, and do their own thing.
Later that night, Wufei and Duo came down. Wufei's hands were all red and Duo refused to sit down, even to eat dinner, he just walked around the table and picked up whatever sat in front of him, even if it were on someone else's plate. This got him bit a couple of times.
Duo was upstairs thinking about what else he could do to get back at Kelly. After several failed attempts, he reached a decision.
"Aww! Screw this! I give up!" he came down the stairs, heading towards the ground floor of the house. He entered the living room where everyone had gathered.
"Guys I-"
"Shhh-Buffy's on!" Came two chorused voices. They didn't even remove their eyes from the screen. Tamen looked over. She didn't mind missing Buffy for once, so she motioned for him to follow her to the kitchen where they could talk without hearing "shhhh" every three seconds.
They exited and sat down. Duo started, "About the prank war. I can't take any more like that last one," the thought of it made him visibly shudder. "That and I can't think of anything else to do, so I-" he was cut off as Ashley and Kelly walked into the room.
"What?"
"I give up okay?"
"Fine. Ruin my fun,"
"Wanna play tennis?" Tamen asked, hopeful. She knew that she was the only one who could play the game with some degree of correct-ness. All the others, or so she'd seen would either cheat or injure themselves or others.
"Sure!" Ashley said, glad to have something to do. Kelly nodded, as did Duo. Everyone else just kind of watched until Wufei came out.
"Maxwell, what are you doing with those weak onnas?" The teams thus far consisted of Ashley and Kelly against Tamen and Duo, and for Ashley and Kelly's skill level, which wasn't very high at all, they were faring pretty well, but to no one's surprise, Tamen's team was winning.
"I'm playing tennis Wu-man!"
"Don't call me Wu-man!"
"Fine," A smile crept upon his face. "Wanna play?" Wufei got a racket and got ready to hit the ball back across the net. As Tamen served, Ashley ran forward and swung the racket, effectively knocking the ball back over the net..... and hitting Wufei in the face. He was determined not to show pain, but damn, it hurt.
Ashley walked to the sidelines and put down the racket. "Sorry?"
"I think you broke him," Kelly said nonchalantly. Blood started to trickle from the corner of his mouth. Tamen sighed.
"It's back to the hospital we go,"
The car ride was short and silent, and when they finally got him to the hospital, he refused to let any of the "weak" doctors touch him.
"His jaw has been dislocated and....."
"Look what you did!"
"Uhhh... oops?"
"Maybe you should let me continue," the four shut up and waited for the doctor to continue. "and it has been broken in three places. We're putting a cast on now, and he wont be able to move his mouth for at least a few weeks." Duo jumped up.
"He wont be able to talk!"
"I suggest you buy him a marker board to write down requests. Also, he's going to have quite a headache when you leave, so I think you should keep him from loud noises or loud people," With that, two of the people in the room turned to look at Ashley. Upon seeing the looks coming from her comrades, she spoke.
"What?"
"If you don't know I'm not going to tell you," Tamen stated, and with that, they all piled back into the car and sped off, completely oblivious to the fact that Wufei was supposed to be coming home that night.
