Part 19: The Infamous LDB Prank War
"Oh wow." Rory said. Logan smirked and placed a hand on the small of her back. He grabbed two glasses from the table and a bottle of champagne, then led her onto the ride that had been turned on.
"The rides are on." Rory whispered.
"That's right, Ace. All the rides are in fact in working order. Look, another deal we should make is that you relax and not worry about getting caught."
"Should I worry?" Logan smirked.
"No, everything is going to be fine." Rory sighed and decided she should just relax. Not think of herself as a reported for the YDN, but as a guest. She would enjoy the festivities all the while taking in the... essence of the LDB. She smiled at him as he sat down in one of the teacups. Rory sat down next to him.
"Fine."
"Fine what?"
"Fine, I won't worry anymore. But if at the end of the night I'm sitting in a jail cell, don't think I won't hesitate naming names, Logan." Logan smirked.
"Deal." Stephanie, Evie and Finn came up to them a few minutes later.
"I see you've gotten the provisions." Finn said sitting next to Logan. Logan nodded as Finn held up three more glasses.
"How many more groups?" Evie asked looking at another group of five come onto the ride.
"Two more." Five minutes later the remaining groups came and took their seats. Colin went around handing two packets to each teacup giving them instructions, then came to their teacup and set their two down.
"Welcome one and all to the Life and Death Brigade's one hundred and ninth event. We are gathered here to enjoy ourselves and partake in fun and games. You will note that I have given each group two packets. Due to short notice and well, impossibility, Logan, Finn and myself came up with a different kind of event. A scavenger hunt. All of the groups will be divided into the groups of two and get one of the packages. In said package are cards. On the cards are the things you must find and or do. Each time you find something, you must take a picture with the LDB approved phones or put it in the spot it tells you to. Seth, Robert, Jude and Ruth will be the ones collecting the objects and keeping score. The winners of each team will get together and come up with suitable punishment for the losers.
"Now, the thing I want you all to remember is to have fun! We have four hours here and we will make the most of it. All rides are in working order. There will be a member at each ride to get it running! You have the rules you must abide by, you all know the consequences! Now raise your glasses. In Omnia Paratus!"
"In Omnia Paratus." They all repeated and took a drink of their cups. Colin sat down and signaled to Seth who turned on the ride. They all held on to the round turner and turned their cup in circles. After about five minutes the ride stopped and they all laughed as they got off. Colin handed Stephanie a packet and kept one for himself.
"So automatically you're on a different team?" Steph asked.
"Well, taking past indiscretions into account I'd have to say it's going to be a battle of the sexes."
"Bring it on, Michaels. Rory, Evie and myself against you three stooges."
"You've got yourself a deal, Richards."
"Fine."
"Fine." They both glared at each other. Evie rolled her eyes.
"Are they always this intense?" Rory asked. Evie laughed.
"Don't worry, we'll find them making out in a dark corner later tonight. Just give it time." Rory laughed just as a cold wind came. She shivered and Logan smirked.
"Cold, Ace?"
"Apparently this dress didn't come with a wrap of any sort." Logan shrugged off his jacket and covered her up. "Thanks" He nodded. Rory frowned. "You know this isn't exactly fair." They all looked at her.
"It's three on three, love, it's fair." Finn answered.
"I didn't mean the numbers. I meant the event. You guys made it meaning you guys made the cards meaning Colin probably made an easier one for you guys and grabbed it." Logan shook his head.
"We're fair, Ace. Robert, Seth, Jude and Ruth made up the cards."
"Really?" Steph asked already formulating a plan.
"Really." Logan said. "This will be the first time we see the cards as well." Stephanie smiled.
"Really?"
"We just went through that, love."
"Right, right. Well, we're going to go now. Like you said we only have four hours. Bye, boys." Steph said as she looped her arms around Rory's and Evie's and led them away.
"She's planning something." Logan said as he watched the girls walk away.
"Oh, yeah." Finn said as they walked in the opposite direction
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Okay, I have a plan. I know how to get them to our destination." Stephanie said.
"Oh, how?" Evie asked intrigued. Stephanie opened up the folder, got out one of the paper cards and showed it to them.
"They haven't seen the cards, right?" Stephanie stated.
"Right." Both girls agreed.
"So that means they won't notice if they have one extra task, and knowing Colin, he is going to go in order. All I have to do is make one of these cards, put it in the front and there they go." The girls smiled.
"Okay, so what's the first task?" Stephanie rolled her eyes at Rory.
"Rory, darling. Believe me we'll win. All we have to do is do one more task than them and well, we're done. We win. The rest of the night can be spent doing what we want. Now come on."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"So what do you think they're planning?" Colin asked as he pulled out their first card. Logan shrugged.
"They're girls, mate. They can be planning anything. What's the first task?" Colin looked down at the card.
"Oh, God." Colin said.
"What?" Logan looked at the card and sighed. "I'm hating Robert right now." Finn took the card and laughed.
"I'm so not getting laid after this." Colin muttered.
"You! I'm marrying one of them." Logan said.
"I'll keep watch." Finn laughed. Logan and Colin sighed and walked to Mickey's Molasses Shop.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Okay, so we all know the plan." Stephanie said. Rory and Evie nodded. "We have to distract the guys." Stephanie pulled out the first card and smiled. She passed it around.
"I'll get the pants." Evie said.
"We have the jacket." Rory said still wearing Logan's jacket.
"And I'll get the hat." Steph said. They all smiled at each other and went their separate ways.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Evie found the guys coming out of the molasses shop each with a smile on thier face. She went over to them and circled Finn's waist. He turned and smiled at her kissing the top of her head.
"Hello, love. Aren't you supposed to be with your team?"
"Yes, but I had a sort of proposition." She said leaning up and capturing his bottom lip with her teeth. Finn groaned and pulled back.
"I'll be back, mates." Finn said taking Evie's hand and finding a secluded place which happened to be Mickey's cookie shop. Evie smiled and started unbuckling his pants. This was way too easy she thought as she kissed him.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Steph and Rory walked up to Colin and Logan who were left. Colin looked at Steph and raised a brow.
"Evie and Finn went off to have a quickie. She'll be back soon." He said putting the cards in his inside pocket. Steph smiled and grabbed Colin's hand kissing his lips slowly but thoroughly.
"Wanna follow their lead?" She asked taking off his top hat and putting it on her own head. Colin smirked and nodded following Steph.
"What are you girls up to?" Logan asked as he and Rory were left alone.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Logan." She said flashing her big blue eyes.
"You three are up to something. And if Steph and Evie get Colin and Finn all riled up, then you guys get them to do whatever you want and I'm stuck following them." Rory shrugged
"Not my problem. They're your team, not mine." She checked the watch that Steph had given her. "Well, I got to get going. Those tasks aren't going to do themselves you know. In Omnia." She said as she walked off, her heels clicking on the stone. Logan sighed. What the hell were Colin and Finn getting themselves into?
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Evie smiled as she strategically threw Finn's pants next to the door.
"Finn,"
"Hmmm." He said against her lips.
"I've got to go." She pushed back, handcuffed his hands to the pole next to them and left the key on the counter. Finn looked at her stunned opening and closing his mouth a few times. "I'm really sorry, baby. I swear I'll make it up to you later." She said grabbing his pants and running out with a smile.
Logan watched as Evie and Steph came running out, Evie with a pair of pants and Steph with the top hat laughing the whole time. Logan smirked as they ran off towards where Rory had walked off minutes before. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He would get Finn first. He walked over to the cookie store where they had gone off and saw Finn sitting on the floor, in his, ironically enough, Mickey Mouse boxers, handcuffed to the pole.
"Hello, mate. Key's over there." Logan laughed and grabbed the key off the counter.
"I seriously don't know how you get yourself into these situations, Finn."
"Me neither, mate, me neither. But it's a Rothschild's family rule to always oblige a lady."
"And I'm guessing that's just what you did." He said unlocking the handcuffs. Finn nodded as he stood up and looked down. He shrugged and walked out. Logan shook his head. Finn was way too comfortable with his sexuality. They walked over to where Colin had gone off to, only to find him handcuffed as well. He was fully dressed.
"Not one word, Huntzberger." Logan smirked and nodded. "The key's over there." He said pointing to the corner of the alley. Logan grabbed it and unhandcuffed him. Colin stood and dusted himself off. They walked out of the alley and Colin looked at Finn for the first time.
"Why doesn't Finn have his pants on?"
"Evie stole them." Finn said with ease.
"Great. Finn is pantless. I'm hatless and you, what'd Rory do to you?" Colin asked.
"Nothing. She just walked away." They walked down the path and Colin reached into his breast pocket and pulled out the card.
"Well, they're up to something." He read the first task.
Go to the It's a Small World Ride. Your card with the task will be sitting in boat three."
"Okay, so to It's a Small World." Finn said. They both nodded and started walking when they suddenly stopped. Logan laughed.
"Well, at least now we know what they wanted to do with Finn's pants." Logan said. Finn smirked. In front of them was an ice cream snowman quickly melting, Finn's pants being under it, all the legs stretch out in front of them. Colin's hat was on the head while Logan's jacket was around the disintegrating body.
"Come on, no use trying to salvage them now. The girls are already one task ahead of us."
"Okay, so what are we waiting for?" They raced off towards the ride awaiting their next clue.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"That was fun." Evie said twirling the key ring on her finger. Steph laughed and nodded. Rory shook her head.
"I feel really bad for the guys." Rory said. Evie and Steph turned to her and raised their eyebrows.
"Really?" Evie asked. Rory laughed.
"No!" They sat in their hidden spots in It's a Small World. After much research they had found that boat number three had a problem and always stopped midway through the ride. Luckily, when Steph had been 'distracting' Colin she had slipped a fake task card into his pocket. They had asked one of the girls to close off the ride the minute the guys walked in. They heard the footsteps and they stood up hiding their feet.
"Okay, here's boat three." Colin said as he got in the boat. He found the card under the seat that they had placed there. "It says to sit down and wait." They heard Logan sigh.
"It's the girls." He said. Finn rolled his eyes and got in.
"Why would the girls go through all this trouble to get us to go on a ride, mate?"
"The fact that we have a long lasting prank war might be the reason."
"Oh, come on. They aren't the brightest in the bunch." Colin said. Steph gasped and was about to knock some sense into Colin, but the girl held her back. Evie waving the key in her face, knowing that the satisfaction of them winning was enough to calm Steph down
"Oh, come on, Steph gets better grades then you." Finn said as he sat down. Logan sighed again and ran a hand through his hair.
"Fine, I'll get in. Only cause I know Ace would probably talk them out of anything stupid the other two would do." He sat down and got comfortable. Evie turned and put the key into its slot and started the ride. Steph and Rory came out of their hiding places just as their boat started to take off.
"Have fun, boys!" Steph said. They all turned and saw Rory and Steph waving. Evie came out with a triumphant smile and waved.
Logan turned back and glared at the other two.
"I told you!" Colin sighed and leaned back.
"My god, what's the problem? All this is going to do is delay us for a few minutes." Then the song started up. That annoying song that was impossible and just as hard to get out of your head once in.
It's a world of laughter
-a world of tears
It's a world of hopes
-and a world of tears
There's so much that we share
-That it time we're aware
It's a small world after all
"Dear god, Finn, please tell me you've got one of those mini bars drinks." Finn nodded and took a small bottle from his pocket.
"'fraid the flask was in my pants." Logan got his own flask out. Colin started patting his breast pocket where he had the cards as well as his flask. Then he remembered Steph's hand wondering in there.
"She stole it."
"What?" Logan asked
"She stole my flask."
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
The boat lurched then stopped in front of the dancing Eskimos that were holding hands.
"Dear god. Why'd we stop?" Finn asked turning around and looking at his surroundings.
"They planned this. I told you from the start." Logan said.
"I can not wait to knock you off that high horse of yours." Colin said irritably. He hated this god damn song.
There is just one moon
-and one golden sun
And a smile means
-Friendship for everyone
Through the mountains divide
-And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
"So how long are we leaving them there?" Rory asked as they walked out of the ride, the faint sounds of 'It's a small world' ringing in her ears.
"I don't know, how long do we have left till the end?" Evie looked at the watch in her purse.
"Two hours."
"Two hours it is then." The girls laughed as they walked towards the location of their next task.
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
