Chapter 4

Original Prankster

A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Please keep them coming. Ok, now I was asked about the whole Darla thing so here it goes; I don't know whether or not I am going to explain why/how she pops up in this fic or if I'll put it off and do it in the next one (that is, if ya'll still want another one) but I will say this; it is actually Darla. Its not The First, or some other demon messing with Sarai's mind and Darla's not being evil and sneaky. I wouldn't do that to Sarai.

Sarai came out of her room at seven-thirty sharp ready for action. "Hi everyone." she said cheerfully as she walked toward her grandfather and looked him up and down. He was now wearing brown slacks with a white sweater and a brown blazer. "Like the Clothes." Sarai added approvingly and very nicely, which scared everyone else in the room. They all knew that a very nice Sarai actually meant a very plotting Sarai and a very plotting Sarai meant hijinks were highly likely to ensue.

"Thank you." Shane answered, oblivious to the fact that he was Sarai's latest target.

As Sarai went to join Dawn on one of the Sofa's she felt someone grab her wrist and pull her off to the side. It was Angel. "Just, please keep it tame?" Angel asked.

"I am sorry I don't know what you're talking about."

"Princess, haven't we already established that I know your up to something?" he questioned nicely.

"Yes, that part I know. I was talking about how I didn't know what you mean because this 'tame' that you speak of isn't in my vocabulary." she answered grinning wickedly and then walking away.

Sarai was having a nice chat with Dawn and Gunn until the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." she offered.

"That can't be the food already. Can it?" Fred questioned.

"Hey." Sarai greeted as she opened the door.

"I am not late an I?" Ryan asked walking into the room, causing Angel to be in an even worse mood.

"Nope. The food hasn't come yet."

"Cool."

Sarai and Ryan walked over to wear everyone else was. Ryan approached Angel. "Hi, um...Sarai mentioned today that your ah-birthday was the other day....so ah....here." He said a bit unsure of himself, which happened often when he was talking to Angel. Ryan then handed Angel a bag. Angel pulled out the contents of the bag which was a cape very much reassembling Dracula's.

"Oh that is so sweet. Is that so sweet daddy?" Sarai exclaimed like any love stricken teenage girl would as Angel just eyed the cape and the teenage boy infront of him.

"Ah....yeah.....thanks." Angel said awkwardly, and realizing that Ryan was aware of his vampire-ness.

"OH! I almost forgot, you haven't met Lorne yet." Sarai stated. "This is Lorne. Lorne this is Ryan."

"Hi...." Ryan said a bit disturbed by Lorne's appearance.

"Hello." Lorne responded and then mouthed the word 'cute' to Sarai when Ryan wasn't looking. Sarai just winked at Lorne in response.

"Oh yeah and that's my grandfather over there." Sarai added quickly.

A few minutes past with everyone talking and relatively getting along.

"Um...Liam I could use a refreshment of some sort." Shane said.

'Bingo. Let the fun begin.' Sarai thought. "Come with me, I'll help you get a drink." Sarai offered.

'This can't end well.' Everyone else thought as Sarai and Shane went into the kitchen. Lorne even had his hands covering his eyes a bit.

"Ok, Here." Sarai said handing Shane a can of soda.

"How do you open this?" he asked.

"Ok, well you pull this little tab up and it'll make a hole that out drink out of. But first, in order to make it taste better you need to shake the can up. The more you shake it, the better it'll taste. Trust me." she explained with a straight face. 'No one says bad things about my dad and gets away it with!!'

Shane did as Sarai said and shook up the can and then opened it, which of course caused it to explode all over Shane. Everyone went into the kitchen too see what happened.

"What happened?" Cordy asked.

"I opened this beverage, after I shook it and it soiled me." Shane said.

"Well that's why, you're not supposed to shake em'." Doyle said.

"She told me I did." Shane responded pointing at Sarai, who had a shocked face on.

"No, I said don't shake it. You must've miss heard me."

"I don't believe I did."

"Well I believe it. I know what I said., now why on earth would I tell you to do something like that? Its cool though, you're stressed out. Sent to another whole different millennium, its not surprising you misunderstood." Sarai was a very convincing liar.

"Yes, perhaps you are right." Shane stated confused before he went to change his clothing.

"Sarai, can I talk to you for a second in your room?" Cordelia asked

"Yeah, sure." The two walked into her room.

"Look, we both you were lying just now. I really think you should call of the pranks. Angel is really stressed out right now. I don't think he needs you causing trouble to add to it." Cordelia said thoughtfully.

'Yes, well my mother would think differently.' "Cordy, with all do respect the last thing I need is you trying to tell me what to do in my home." Sarai said defensively before leaving the room.

A little while later everyone was gathered around the table eating they're Chinese Food. Sarai and Angel were scooping out some of the food from the cartons onto plates for everyone. Somehow Sarai 'accidently' managed to lace her grandfathers 'Beef n' Broccoli' and 'Sweet n' Sour Chicken' with some of her super hot peppers that came with her's and Spike's 'General Tso's Chicken.'

"My little hellraiser." Angel affectionately stated patting Sarai's head when he got site of her in her latest scheme. Sarai just smiled brightly.

Sarai little plan worked of course and she got great amusement out of watching her grandfather gasp and stumble in efforts of getting the hot taste of out his mouth.

"Oops. I guess somehow some of the peppers got on some of the other plates." Sarai observed out loud.

"I must say precious I am rather surprised that you stopped with your attacks after we ate." Angel said to Sarai, in regards tot he peppers being the last prank of the night, after everyone left that night. "Wait, what else did you do?" he added after noticing the smile on her face.

"Does your dad sleep with his socks on?"

"Yes....why?" Angel questioned.

"Well then you'll find out tomorrow when he changes them."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Patients dear daddy, patients." Sarai answered before going into her room. After she shut her door she took out the super-super glue stick that was in her pocket and out in her underwear draw, where she kept all her 'supplies' since it's the one place no one -especially Angel- never goes. And then as she got into bed at watched some late night TV, she was a very satisfied Sarai. Not nearly satisfied enough to give up on her plans....and what great plans they were going to be too.

TBC

A/N: That's all for now. I think this fic is going to be shorter then the others. Maybe they'll be 2 or 3 more chapters and then that's it. Up next, Sarai continues her little 'mission' and there's going to be a nice little argument, but between who you ask? Just review, wait and find out.
