Mmmmm…..what will Ulrich and Odd do? Thanks for all the great reviews guys!

American-Kitty- that's so weird because me and my friends are trying to prank the boys in my neighborhood to! It's sorta the basis of this story! I'm doing the make-up prank while the guys are at my friend's brother's sleepover. Haha! good luck with your prank!

((Ulrich))

I don't think I've ever been so humiliated in my entire life.

All the rest of the day (and few weeks) people's giggles and whispers followed Odd and I around.

I'm going to make her pay. Her friend too.

Jeremie reluctantly agreed to help us come up with an ingenuous plan to get dear Yumi back. He made us swear that we wouldn't mention his name, though.

Revenge is oh so very sweet.

((Yumi))

I'm feeling wary today, but rather proud.

I know full and well that I'm going to pay for the prank but I'll be on my guard, as will Erika! The looks they've been shooting us are completely priceless. I mean, this is the best prank we've ever pulled on him! Ulrich needed his ego deflated a bit though.

The next day at lunch I was too nervous to notice the eager glances of students who wanted more entertainment. For some strange reason, most pranks surface at lunch. I confided my fears to Erika, whom I'm sure was listening intently despite her shoveling food into her mouth.

"They're going to do something horrible in front of everyone!" I said.

Erika stared cow-like at me with a mouth full of food, nodding.

"They won't just take it lying down! Aren't you nervous?"

She reached for my roll, still staring at me and chewing intently and continued nodding.

"Erika, is my hair blue or pink?"

She took a huge swallow and grinned cutely at me. "Of course!" she said and, pleased with her answer, Erika started on her cake. I rolled my eyes and reached for my pizza, still eyeing the cafeteria warily, but nothing was there. I looked down. My tray was completely empty.

"ERIKA!"

The rest of the day has passed without event and school gets out in 10 minutes. Freedom!

((NO ONE's POV))

Yumi raced down the school hallway dragging a confused Erika behind her.

"What's the ouch rush ahhh outta the way! Yumi?" Erika said, crashing into random people.

"We're not out of the woods yet!" she yelled back.

At last the door was in sight and Yumi was starting to feel hopeful when…..

"Hello Yumi." said Ulrich as he stepped out in front of the door. Odd and his camcorder and a guilty-looking Jeremie followed him and blocked the entrance. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Stern." Yumi spat, acknowledging him.

She was about to make a witty remark but stopped as Ulrich and Odd held out their hands. Yumi recognized the shockers they were wearing but held out her hand anyways. 'I suppose it could be much worse' she thought. Apparently, Erika was thinking a similar thought and they shook hands. However, the shock they felt was different. It was long and she could feel the electricity pulsing through her body, though it didn't hurt. Her hair stood on end and she could smell the singed ends. She opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out. Only a scene ran through Yumi's head.

"Mommy, daddy! Ahhh!" screamed a child's voice.

The child's screams in Yumi's head melded (is that even a word?) into Erika's screams. The electricity pulsed inside of her…. Suddenly it ended and Erika and Yumi fell to the floor. Odd and Ulrich were laughing at the girls ridiculous appearances of standing-on-end hair and static-y clothes while Jeremie looked away guiltily.

"And now," Ulrich said magnificently, "COCKROACHES!" he yelled, brandishing a huge jar full of the bugs.

He expected them to grovel in fear, as he knew Yumi was desperately afraid of roaches and Erika of bugs in general, but neither girl's seemed to notice. But he pushed the thought aside and emptied the jar all around the two. Again they didn't scream. He gaped as he saw Yumi's face. It was white with horror and she seemed to be seeing something none of them could, as she was staring off into nothing. The laughter quieted and the only sound was of the rustling of cockroaches on the floor and climbing over the girl's legs. After a moment of this silence, Yumi let out a sob of anguish. Erika scooted over to Yumi and began to smooth her hair and comfort her.

"It's ok Yumi they didn't know. They didn't know…" Erika trailed off. The boy's were shocked and held looks of horror and guilt.

Yumi Ishiyama was crying.

Erika turned to glare at them.

"I hope you're happy." She hissed and then turned back to a weeping Yumi.

"Yumi…What's…I…It wasn't going to hurt you! It's perfectly safe….Jeremy developed it to be safe!" Ulrich stated lamely as Jeremy blushed and shot him a glare.

Yumi suddenly felt rage. How DARE he mock her like this! She stood slowly and smoothed her hair back. She stepped over the cockroaches and approached Ulrich. She slapped him soundly and very hard, only to be seen by a teacher stepping down into the hall. She screamed at the sight of roaches all over the floor and seemed perplexed at the sight of students still in school. She spluttered and pointed while the teens remained motionless. Finally, she sighed and yelled:

"Detention!"

Dun Dun Dun! So now we know about the backfiring prank! But who is the screaming child? Why was Yumi so upset? I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
