Chapter Six: Coconut Rampage

They're both asleep. Mwahaha, good. I grin evilly at Riku's sleeping form from his bedroom door. With the both of them asleep, and me being somewhat back to normal, they won't expect me to run off. Well... maybe they would, my character seems to always say something about my next move, but I don't think either of them will be expecting this. Hopefully I won't be gone that long, so they'll never know that I was gone if I can manage to keep quiet and do this quickly but effectively.

Mwahaha, this is going to be GREAT!

I giggle to myself as I jump down the last few steps of the ladder to the sand. Then I tip toe my way to one of the near by coconut trees, and climb my way gingerly up it to grab a few of the fruit. If my plan works, no one on the entire island is going to want to see a coconut again.

Mwahaha.

****

I wake up to the sweet sound of a loud thump. Then several other thumps, and a slightly enraged scream. I don't open my eyes--for I already know what happened--and I smile to myself, happy that it worked. However, I do need to put up some sort of act, so that no one will suspect me. So I jump up to my feet with a surprised yelp and look around acting like the world was under attack. And, in a way, it kinda was.

Attacked by Katie Smyth and her army of coconuts. Mwahaha.

"What? Huh?" I say as I look at Courtney's figure spralled out on the floor, half in the room half out, coconuts all over her. I cock an eyebrow at her as she looks back at me. "Errr..." I say before I bust out laughing.

"I don't see what so damn funny here." she growls at me. Damn she's royally pissed, and I'm lovin' every minute of it!

"I do." I say between breaths, "If you were me, you'd laugh your ass off. Probably even harder than I am right now!"

"Wouldn't doubt it." she mumbles as she carefully gets up, tryin' not to trip over the mound of coconuts scattered all over the floor... Well, I guess it wouldn't be a mound then would it? Oh well. Anyway, I bust up laughing once again. She can't resist the urge to look at me with an accusing eye. "You did this, didn't you?"

I stop laughing. Dammit, I'm busted... Hold on, wait a sec, I can still act innocent. Just don't act TOO innocent.

"What, you think I did this? HA! I wish! This is great! But seriously, if I did, don't you think I would be a little more crafty than to use a bunch of lousy coconuts?! C'mon, give me some freggin' credit! I'm more imaginative than that!" Lesson One: no better way to make someone believe you, than to diss on your own work. I am good.

Yelp, crash, and thump, thump, thump.

Looks like Riku pulled his trap. Mwahaha. Courtney looks past the assumption that I did it, for now, and runs into the hall to see Riku, who is also spralled out on the floor covered with coconuts. We both simultaniously laugh histarically, to the point where we both fall to the ground holding our stomaches.

"Ah, Courtney! It hurts!" I gasp for air.

"I know, me too!"

He stands up slowly confused and angered by the stunt. "Ok, haha. Who did it?" He asks as he towers over us, lookin' down trying to be intimdating.

"Wasn't me." We both say at once, AGAIN.

We hear another scream and more thumps. Looks like someone else pulled their trap as well. What? Did you actually think that I would limit my prank to just the people I know? HA! Yeah right! We must ALL join in on the fun!

Of course keeping up my act calls for me to be totally oblivious as to what had just happened. So, as my two companions rush out to see what the hell has just happened I must run to see too. Even though I already know.

A few more screams sound off before we even reach the front door of the tree house. I hang back alittle as to not get hit by the next wave of my ingenius plan. Courtney and Riku fall for it just like the first time, they trip over the thin rope, fall, and get pelted with a dozen or so coconuts. I stare wide eyed at them, from my still standing position, as part of my act, and for the fact that I almost couldn't believe they fell for the same thing twice. God damn, I am a genius. A FUCKING GENIUS!! I am the Goddess of Pranks. I should get a medal. Honestly, I should.

When I walk out the door--carefully stepping over Riku and Courtney-- and onto the small deck, I see what my wonderful creation has done. And to tell the truth, it's almost the equivalent of angels singing. Actually, the singing is just a bunch of muffled screams, but hey, close enough.

"Looks like we have some sort of coconut epidemic or somethin'." I say, adding to my acting. "It's almost like a horror movie, "The Curse of the Coconuts"! Oh no you guys! We've pissed off the Coconut Race! We're all gonna DIE!!" I turn to my friends just in time to be pelted with several coconuts. "HEY! Those things HURT!" I yell rubbing the numerous spots where coconut hit flesh.

"Naw, ya THINK!" C and Riku yell, glarring at me.

I laugh nervously. "What?"

Courtney walks up to me slowly, and puts an arm around my neck and pulls me close to her face. I have a bad feeling about this. "Katie, my FRIEND." She wrenches at my neck. Ow... "Don't you find it a little odd that the ONLY person on this island who hasn't been hit with a pile of coconuts is YOU...?"

Shit, my act has let me down. Lesson Two: when pulling a prank make sure you do it on yourself too. Because NO ONE suspects someone whos been hit, NO ONE. "Uh... no, not at all!" I say, but I'm busted, it's written all over my face that I'm guilty. There's no way of acting myself outta this one. Damn... Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. "Heh-heh... see ya!" I jerk from her grasp and make a break for the ladder, however I don't make it very far. I kinda forgot about that OTHER person whom was also standin' behind me. Well, fuck me up the goat ass, I'm screwed.

Of course he grabs my arms and pins them behind my back before I get very far. I sag slightly in defeat. Wonder what they're gonna do to me. Can't be anythin' good. "What are we going to do to her Courtney?" I hear Riku ask. Oh GREAT, ask HER! I know she can think of a few HORRIBLE things to do...

"There's a saying, "Let the punishment fit the crime" I think it goes, and I think this would be a wonderful time to demonstrate just what that saying means." she says, I can see the evil glint in her eyes. Yup, definitely screwed. I'll bet ya she's gonna do somethin' like tie me to a wall and have everyone on the island throw a coconut at me. "So, in accordance to that phrase, I propose we tie her to a stake and let everyone on the island throw a coconut at her." Holy ancient reptile dung! Can she read my MIND?! Dammit, that's it Smyth, no more thinkin' for you! You give people ideas!

I gulp. I don't wanna be hit with a bunch of coconuts! That's why I stayed AWAY from my traps! Coconuts are HARD! They leave BRUISES! and BUMPS! and anyother such OUCHIES!!! "Ah, c'mon C! That's like cruel and unusual punishment! It's not fair!" I pleed, while also tryin' to loosen the grip Riku has on my arms.

"Oh, and you think what you did to US is fair?!" She argues.

"But... but... THAT WAS JUST A PRANK!! A simple harmless little PRANK! I meant no harm!! Really! I didn't!"

"Yeah right." she rolls her eyes. Damn, ok, so acting pitiful to her doesn't work. My last chance is...

"Riku?" I say looking back at him with the best of my ability. "You believe me don't you?" I give him my best shot of puppy dog eyes, and it seems to be working. "Riku, let me go." I put my head on his shoulder then nuzzle my way inbetween the place where his neck and shoulders meet. "Please...?"

"Don't do it Riku." Courtney warns.

"Please?" I say again. The grip on my arms loosens, YES! I AM a genius! Not wasting any time I jerk my arms from his grip and I make a beline for the ladder. "SUCKER!" I yell leaping down the ladder ungracfully, but I manage to land on my feet and I high-tail it out of there faster than you can say... well any really long word would be fine to put in here, I can't think of one at present cuz I'm doin' my best to run in sand and get away from all the people that probably want to kill me. Though my life may be in jeopardy, I only have one thing to say...

Mwahaha, that was GREAT!
