Two weeks later
"Hey Edmund, I just remembered something." Anakin said as the two boys were hanging out in Anakin's dormitory room.
"What is it, Ani?" Edmund asked.
"We still need to pull that prank on Lucy we were discussing." Anakin said.
"Bloody hell, that's right. Still want to do it?" Edmund asked.
"Of course I do. Why else would I mention it?" Anakin said while grinning evilly.
"You are indeed a genius, Ani. Now, how should we do it?" Edmund asked.
"Like we originally planned it, of course. We send 3PO to summon Susan and Lucy out of the room to speak to my uncle. Once the girls are gone, we make our move. Any ideas on what prank we should do?" Anakin replied.
Edmund rested his chin in his hands as he thought of an evil prank to pull on his little sister. It didn't take him long, though, before an evil grin spread across his face and he spoke up by saying "Why not put something disgusting and scary in her bed?"
"Like a Yavin flytrap! That'll be perfect to scare her!" Anakin exclaimed.
"Oh I can't wait to hear Lucy scream when she sees this. It'll be perfect." Edmund replied.
Both boys smirked as they shook hands, confident that this plan would go off without any problems and Lucy would receive the shock of her life.
In Jaina's dormitory room
Jaina was enjoying some girl time with Susan and Lucy in her room, talking with them about what they hoped to be when they were older.
"Do you really want to be a Jedi knight, Jaina?" Susan asked.
"Of course I do. In fact, I even hope to be a Jedi master one day." Jaina replied.
"I think you will be. That funny little green man said you would." Lucy piped up.
"You mean Yoda, right?" Jaina asked.
"Is that his name?" Lucy asked.
All three of the girls burst out laughing at Lucy's comment. It was indeed fun spending time with each other just laughing and talking about random things. But the sudden look of concern Jaina got on her face quickly ended that fun.
"Jaina, what is it now?" Susan asked.
"I sense something in the Force, something awful is going to happen." Jaina said .
"Oh no, not again." Lucy moaned.
"It's not the white witch or that bounty hunter, Lucy. It's Edmund and Ani." Jaina replied.
"What are they up to now?" Susan asked, sounding quite exasperated.
"I see them planning something, something not very nice." Jaina replied.
"What is it, though?" Lucy asked with worry in her voice.
"Sorry to say, Lucy, but it looks like these two are plotting a mean prank against you. Possibly putting something scary in your bed." Jaina replied.
Lucy started shaking at Jaina's comment, scared at what she might find in her bed. She promptly crawled into Jaina's lap and buried her face into her best friend's shoulder. Jaina wrapped her arms around Lucy to comfort the little girl as she continued to shake with fear. Susan, however, was simply upset at what she had heard her brother was plotting to do to their little sister.
"Why those cheeky little blighters!" she exclaimed angrily.
"Su, relax. I have an idea." Jaina said.
"What do you have in mind?" Susan asked.
"I don't want Ed to scare me." Lucy whimpered.
"He won't, sweetie. Let's go get Peter and Jacen. I know exactly what we need to do." Jaina said
Later that afternoon
"I can't believe they fell for it!" Anakin exclaimed.
He and Edmund were currently standing in Susan and Lucy's room, smirking at the fact that the two girls had actually believed C-3PO when he said that Luke wanted to speak to them and more importantly, that C-3PO had actually believed the two boys when they told him to summon Susan and Lucy to see Luke in the first place.
"That was just too easy." Edmund replied.
"Oh I know that. Got the plant, though?" Anakin asked.
"Of course, we can't forget that." Edmund said and help up a Yavin flytrap that he had found outside the temple.
Both boys started snickering as they slipped the plant between the sheets on Lucy's bed, making sure to cover it up so she wouldn't see it right away. They were still snickering as they quietly slipped out of the girls' room and into Anakin's room, amazed that the plan went so smoothly.
"I can't wait to hear her scream. It'll be priceless." Edmund said.
"Oh I know. And the best part is that no one else knows about this." Anakin replied.
"That's the point of this anyway. Even your brother and sister don't know about it." Edmund said.
"Isn't that great?" Anakin asked.
"Oh of course it is." Edmund replied back.
A loud scream coming from Susan and Lucy's room interrupted the boys' conversation. Huge smiles grew on their faces and they burst out laughing, immediatly recognizing who it was that was screaming.
"Susan! Look at that disgusting thing!" Lucy shrieked.
"Oh that is so gross, Lucy!" Susan exclaimed back.
"Edmund! That was mean!" Lucy screamed.
"Oh yes it was, Lucy." Edmund whispered quietly while Anakin continued to laugh.
"Are we good or are we good?" Anakin asked.
"When we're good, we're great!" Edmund exclaimed.
After dinner that evening
Peter, Susan, Lucy, Jaina, and Jacen were all gathered in Jacen's room immediately after they ate dinner. They were all grins that evening as they discussed their revenge plan against Edmund and Anakin.
"Wow Lu, that scream was so realistic." Peter said.
"Thank you, Peter. I've had a lot of practice." Lucy replied.
"I know you have. And Edmund actually fell for it." Peter said.
"Think he'll fall for this?" Jacen asked.
"I certainly think so. He's no Jedi so he can't sense what's coming." Jaina replied.
"Speaking of, did you take care of things?" Jacen asked.
"Yes I did. Took care of everything just before dinner." Susan said while grinning.
"Good job, now all we have to do is wait." Jacen replied as he shook Susan's hand.
The children's attention was quickly turned to the door of Jacen's room as they heard two familiar voices laughing and chattering up the hallway. It was Edmund and Anakin still laughing about the prank they pulled on Lucy, but they were about to get a very unpleasant surprise themselves.
"Wait a minute, not until they're in the room." Peter said as everyone scrambled to the door to leave.
Everyone pressed their ears to the door and listened for Edmund and Anakin to enter Edmund's room and close the door. It seemed like an eternity waiting, but they finally heard the two boys step into Edmund's room and the door being shut.
"Ok, let's go." Peter said.
Everyone was trying not to snicker as they crept out of Jacen's room and toward Edmund's room. They stood quietly outside the door for what seemed like an eternity, waiting to hear Edmund and Anakin react to the little surprise they had in store for them. Finally, they heard the reaction they'd been wanting to hear.
"What the bloody hell is that!" Edmund yelled.
"That's so gross! Who did this to us?" Anakin screamed back.
Peter, Susan, Lucy, Jaina, and Jacen were not able to hold back their laughter any longer and collapsed on the floor, practically dying of laughter. Finally, Edmund and Anakin got their just desserts and Lucy got her sweet revenge against her older brother.
"What the blazes?" Edmund exclaimed angrily and flung his bedroom door open upon hearing the laughter in the hallway.
He and Anakin were greeted with the sight of their siblings lying on the floor, crying and red faced with laughter. Slowly, the realization hit them what the others had been up to and they got extremely steamed looks of anger on their faces.
"What the bloody hell did you do?" Edmund yelled angrily.
"Oh Edmund, you are too easy to fool." Lucy said in between fits of laughter.
"But why couldn't I see this coming? I'm a Padawan for Force sake!" Anakin exclaimed.
"Don't you remember the lesson Uncle Luke taught you the other day?" Jacen asked with tears streaming down his face.
"Um...never try to fool a stronger Jedi than you?" Anakin meekly asked.
"Ah yes, the Force indeed can have a strong influence on the weak minded." Jacen said and burst out laughing again.
Edmund and Anakin just stood their turning completely red faced with embarrassement, amazed that their prank had backfired and they had been fooled by their own siblings so easily.
