Three down, two to go. Emma was our next victim because Adam was saved for last. Although, Emma didn't do anything to us but we wanted to prank everyone and Emma was no exception. Since we couldn't think of anything really good, we looked through some prank books and websites. Then, we found one which was pretty good and simple. We were going to draw on Emma's face while she was asleep and the next morning would be a nightmare for her. It was simple and great. When our punishment was over, we decided it was about time to get her.
It seems that Emma kind of sensed that something was up. We decided the time wasn't now. If Emma realizes it, the prank will be a failure and we won't tolerate faliure. First, we must convinced Emma that we weren't up to no good. That we had learned our lesson. We had to fool her for now and strike later.
After a whole week and it was a long week, we had finally convinced Emma that we were good. Our chance to strike finally revealed itself. That very night, Sam and I snuck into Emma's room and it wasn't easy. Because Emma can sense emotion while she's sleeping. We had to control our emotion. We had to be not too excited, happy, or scared. Any of those emotions can wake her.
We then drew on her face, making a black curly mustache, red circles on her cheeks, brown dots on her cheeks, chin, and nose with a couple of big red dots on her nose. Next, were lines near her eyes to make her look old. We also put a fresh layer of purple lipstick on her lips mixed with some blue and gold and yellow. Then we left quickly.
Just then, Adam was in the corridor checking on everyone. We had to get to our rooms before Adam and he must not see us. Luckily, Adam didn't have any powers so he couldn't sense us. Also the lights were turned off because Adam didn't want to wake anyone.
I transformed into Jesse and phased the wall and we entered the next room. Adam was getting closer to our rooms every minute. Unfortunately, Sam's room is across the corridor. Somehow she and I must cross the corridor while Adam is checking. I phased the wall in another room and we were still one room ahead of Adam.
Sam said she could project an image into Adam's mind to distract him but that may scare Adam. That was a risk we had to take. Sam will project the image while I phased the wall so Sam could enter. As Adam walked closer, Adam thought he was in a dark cave and there was no light. And then when Sam had gotten into her room safely, Sam slowly transformed the image of the dark cave into Sanctuary.
Sam made him think his eyes were playing tricks on him. We successfully returned to our rooms safely. That was a close call but that is what makes being sneaky and stealthy so exciting. I wondered if Adam will realize it was our doing. He will probably piece it together tomorrow. Just then Adam came on and I giggled softly.
The next morning, we heard a scream and we all rushed into Emma's room. She looked funnier than it was in the dark. Emma was crying and Adam was comforting her. We all could see Brennan trying really hard not to laugh. And he couldn't help it and busted into laughter and everyone else started to laugh including Emma.
I guess she thought it was funny. For once, they enjoyed the pranks. I wonder if Adam will punish us this time. Because Mutant X needed a good laugh. Here in Sanctuary, it is usually very serious and there is no time for jokes. Surprisingly, nobody said anything and it was left that way. Adam never punished us and that was another shocker.
