Chapter 4 The Real Blackboard Licker is Revealed and Watch Out America!
Meagan hit Sirius in the back of the head. "YOU TOLD THEM I LICKED THE BLACKBOARD?" She hollered at him, hitting him in the sides and making him hide his head in his hands. He hit the wall and shrunk down to the ground.
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed. James, however, was leaning forward in his seat and was watching with much interest. Lupin was on the couch and treated it as normality. "IT WAS YOU SIRIUS! ADMIT IT! YOU LICKED THE BLACKBOARD!" Meagan screeched.
"YOU DID!" Sirius howled like a dog. He was now cowering against the wall. With a "pop" he transformed into his Animagi self and scampered away. "YOU BETTER RUN!" Meagan said, starting after him. "Meagan." Harry said, putting a hand on Meagan's shoulder. Meagan tried to jerk out of it but Harry held firm.
Sirius pranced back into the room with a photo album in his mouth. He changed back and took it out of his mouth. It was labeled, "The Marauders." "I remember taking a picture of it," Sirius confirmed, "It'll be in here." He opened the book and flipped through the pages. He came to rest on the fateful picture.
Harry, James, and Lupin were now looking over Meagan and Sirius's shoulders. Immediately, Meagan and Sirius burst into fits of hysterical laughter. Lupin was having quite a hard time holding a straight face. Harry's mouth was open and his eyebrows were up. James was now staring at it with great dislike.
It was a picture of someone licking the blackboard all right, but it wasn't Sirius or Meagan. It was the Marauder they liked to call… Prongs.
James Potter was staring at the picture in great dislike. His nose was wrinkled and his face was contorted into a look of great dislike. He closed the photo album with a snap and strode away, leaving Meagan and the others to laugh themselves to tears.

Crystal sipped on her soda. Her parents had allowed her to go to America with Brian and the Blacks. Sirius and Lizzie were there, of coarse. Lizzie missed America and just had to come.
Brian was sitting next to her, watching his sister and brother-in-law with great interest. "If I ever do that, Crystal, shoot me." He said, taking a sip of his own soda. Crystal took another long sip of her soda. "Don't worry," She said, "I will."
"Hey." Said a voice. Brian and Crystal looked up. It was a boy and girl. "Can we hang with you?" Asked the girl. Crystal nodded. "Sure."
The boy and girl sat down. "I'm Aaron." Aaron said, holding out his hand. Crystal shook his hand and he made a funny look, but didn't say anything. "Yeah, and I'm Alexandra, but my friends call me Alex." Alex said. "Are all people in America named alphabetically?" Asked Brian, who got a whack to the back of the head from Crystal. "I wouldn't talk, Brian Black. As all your sibling's name's begin with B." She said. He blushed.
"Are you British?" Alex asked Brian. He nodded. "Yep." He said. "And are you American?" Aaron asked Crystal. Crystal's eyebrows went up. "No. My mom's American though. I probably got the American accent from her." She said.
"Hey, dip-stick." Bryce said, coming up to Brian and hitting his head. Brian turned around, rubbing his head and glared. "Heya Bryce." He said, not happy at all that his brother had decided to check up on him. "Who're your friends?" Bryce asked. "This is Aaron, and this is Alex." Crystal said. Bryce sat down, making Brian groan. Alex looked at Bryce in interest.
Crystal looked over at Ethan who was still saying, "Hello! You just love my accent, don't you? Yes, yes, I'll keep talking! Don't worry, my mouth never stops!" Crystal shook her head, "You can say that again."
She turned back to the others. "Sorry." She said. "I'm gonna go shopping… whose with me?"
~*~
Crystal opened the door to her hotel room. She closed her eyes and dropped her shopping bags, and fell on the bed. "Having a nice time, honey?" Asked a voice. Crystal jumped a full foot into the air, looked around, saw Meagan, and groaned. And I was having a good time… she thought.
Meagan smiled. She got of the chair beside the bed. "Happy to see you too." She said.
Brian came into the room, saw Meagan, and screamed. "AHH!" He hollered, falling over backwards. "And I'm just glad you're happy to see me." She said sarcastically. "Sorry." He said.
"Came down to see my native homeland." Meagan said with a grin. "I'm sure Uncle Mark was happy." Crystal said, her eyes purple. "Oh yes, so glad, in fact, he slammed the door on my face!" Meagan said. Brian raised his eyebrows. "Okay then…" he said.
"Are you staying?" Asked Crystal nervously. "No, no, I have to help your father with the twins. You know them… They got into the attic again and started to take apart my old supplies." Meagan said. She sighed and shook her head. "I wonder where they got their energy from… probably from me… but what the hay." She said.
She walked over to the window. "Well, must be going. Have fun! Make sure Sirius had the time of his life." She said, her eyes purple and her lips curling into an evil smile. She disappeared with a small pop.
~*~
"Mmfrg…" Crystal said. Brian shook her harder. "C'mon, Crystal, wake up!" He hissed, deciding it was almost time to jump on her. "Mmfrg… I'm getting up…" Crystal said, rolling over and hitting him across the face. Brian was knocked over and landed with his face on the ground.
"Thanks!" He grunted. "Mmph. It's 5!" Crystal said, looking at the clock. "Yeah, we're going to pull the biggest prank we have ever committed in our young lives." Brian said. At the word prank, Crystal leapt out of bed. "Do you have equipment?" She asked. He nodded. "Let's go!" He said.
They slowly opened the door to Brynn, Bryce, Ethan, and Mac's room. It squeaked slightly, making Crystal cringe. She looked over at Brian, who had his teeth clenched.
Brynn coughed. Brian mouthed, 'Fire in the hole!' and rolled over behind the dresser. Brynn rolled over, drawing the blankets closer and mumbled, "Kiss me and kiss me hard, Mac." Crystal held her nose to keep herself from laughing out loud. "Kiss me and kiss me hard, Mac!" She mimicked, falling into Brian's arms. Brian rolled his eyes and dropped her.
Brian pulled shaving cream out of his bag. It was labeled, 'Glow Cream-For Pranksters 4 & up.' "Isn't America great?" He whispered, looking at Crystal's amazed face. "I wondered why you bought shaving cream…" She said. "Oh, I bought it so I could shave, too." He said sarcastically.
He shook it up and threw it to Crystal. He took one out himself and approached Bryce's bed. "I've waited so long for this…" He whispered. He removed the cap and pressed the button. The shaving cream glowed hot pink. He drew two little devil horns sticking out of the top of Bryce's head, and made them magically stick up. Then he drew a beard on with glowing green. He made a devil's tail and enchanted that too.
He stepped back to admire his work. He nodded approvingly. He looked at Crystal. "What do ya think?" He asked. "Fits his personality perfectly." She said.
She went over to do Brynn. Brynn had rolled onto her back and was now mumbling, "I love you… KISS ME!" Crystal made a face. Then she took the pink shaving cream and sprayed Brynn's lips, making it look like her lips were huge and puffy. Then she did it to Brynn's hair with green. She smeared red paint onto Brynn's nose, adding a nice affect.
She stood back to admire her handiwork. "Mm?" She asked. "Great!" Brian said wickedly.
Crystal scampered over to do Mac. She sprayed pink shaving cream into her hands, rubbed together, and spiked his hair. It was interesting to see Mac with spiked, pink hair. She then magically drew glasses on and buckteeth, to add affect. She also drew on freckles, which made him look like a geek trying to be cool. She had also made sure the marker she had drawn it with was permanent marker. She even changed his PJs into a blouse with large shorts and suspenders.
She went back to Brian and threw him the shaving cream. "Let me see you try to match that." She said, smirking. "Oooh… I will, don't you worry." He said.
He strolled over to Ethan. He waved his wand and changed Ethan's PJs into Barney PJs with booties. He died Ethan's hair purple and painted his face green. He took hot pink and glowing green shaving and put spots all over his face and hair. Brian made the Barneys all over the PJs smile and sing the Barney theme song.
Brian smiled triumphantly as he walked back. "We tied." Crystal said as they gave each other high fives.
To make matters much, much worse, Brian and Crystal TP-ed the whole room. Toilet Paper hung from everything that it could stick to… And even things it couldn't when it was held up by magic.
Yawning, Brian and Crystal left the room, very pleased with themselves. They changed out of their clothes and back into their PJs and settled down for a nice, summer night…
~*~
After what seemed like a few minuets, screams erupted from the other room. Crystal shrieked and fell out of her bed. Then, remembering her late night, grinned.
But that grin didn't last long, for Brynn, Bryce, Ethan, and Mac ran into the room. Crystal just had to laugh. It was the funniest sight, Ethan in Barney PJs, Mac dressed like a dork with pink, spiked hair, Bryce with devil horns and tail, and Brynn with pink hair, a red nose, big puffy lips. And to top it all off, they were all covered in toilet paper…
Brian gave a snort in the bed next to Crystal, got up, snorted and laughed. Crystal reached for the camera on her night table and took several different pictures.
The four teenagers looked shocked. This was the best prank Brian and Crystal had ever pulled in their lives…
