Hey, hey, hey everyone! After a few months of waiting, heeeeere's chapter 17!
I'm really really sorry for making everyone wait so long. Especially my good friend, SailorMarble14 who helped me get this chapter done. Thanks so much, hon'! *hugs*
Originally, I was going to do something involving a Halloween party with Mike and the Personalities dressing up in costume. However, I had no idea how to get it going and decided to drop it. Instead, I thought of Vito pulling numerous pranks on his family all day.
The inspiration I got for this was a couple things:
1. I don't watch this show too much but one of the pranks was the Uncle Grandpa episode, "The Prank Master".
2. The iCarly episode "iGet Pranky". Spencer's montage of pranks made me smile and it gave me ideas for pranks, so you ICarly fans will be seeing some references of his pranks. :) Also, I recommend you listen to Niki Watkins song "The Joke Is On You" while reading this. XD That's also from ICarly.
3. What I did at Vito in the ending is referenced from the scene in "Monsters University".
4. Vito breaking the 4th wall at the end reminded me of an MLP episode of Pinkie Pie doing the same thing, except I can't remember what episode it's from.
Just remember what I said in the recent authors notes I posted and try to be a little nice if you comment this story. I'm not being mean, I'm just reminding you.
Next Chapter: After he hurts one of his grandchildren, Chester starts thinking about giving up his cane.
Until next time, enjoy!
I don't own Total Drama or the characters whatsoever.
Chapter 17: Prank Madness
It was almost 1:00 inside the subconscious and Mike was helping Chester washing some dishes in the kitchen of his mind.
"Thanks so much for helping me, Mike." Chester said, "You're such a good boy."
"Aww, you're welcome Chester." Mike smiled as he was drying a plate, "And thank you for making breakfast this morning."
"Anything for my grandkids." Chester smiled back, "It's too bad Mal couldn't join us. Where is he anyway?"
"He told me, last night, that he wanted to sleep in so I decided to let him." he answered, "He should be up soon."
Speaking of Mal, he woke up about ten minutes ago and was already dressed and groomed for the day. He didn't feel like eating at the moment so he decided to find something to do to pass the time, "Guess I'll go read a book or something." he said as he stretched his arms.
He went into the computer room where it had shelves of books on one side of the room. Some of them were storybooks that Mike and the others read as kids; some were girl magazines for Svetlana; travel books & guides for Manitoba; work out magazines for Vito; classic books for Chester; and so on and so forth.
Mal had read some of these before but as he searched, he had found a book he had not seen in years. It was a dark green hardcover book that was torn a bit on the cover and dust practically covered it from head to toe. He opened the book and after reading two pages, he remembered what it was now.
"Hey!" his face lit up, "I remember this! Vito and I read this all the time!"
It was a book full of pranks and practical jokes that Vito and Mal had when they were little. Some time after Vito came along, Mike thought of a book to keep him entertained and out of trouble but realized that it turned Vito into a full fledged joke.
Eventually, Vito got tired of the book and focused on more "important" things such as working out, being cool, and picking up chicks. "Hehehe." Mal chuckled as memories filled his brain, "Good old Vito."
When Mal came across page ten in the book, he had found a prank that he had not done in a while and had an idea so devious, that a sinister smirk ran across his face. "I think I know what I'm gonna do today." he said as he placed the book back on the shelf and ran out of the room.
Mal went to grab a small box of thumbtacks from his room and ran to the living room where there was no one except himself. Then, he heard two voices coming from the hallway.
"Hey bro, wanna watch some TV?" asked Vito.
"Sure Vito." Mike agreed.
"Hahaha." Mal chuckled quietly, "Perfect!"
He, carefully, placed the tacks on two individual couch cushions and ducked quickly as his brothers approached. Mals smirk grew as Mike and Vito began to sit down on the tampered seat cushions.
And once the boys sat down...
"YEOW!" Mike and Vito screamed as they leaped out of their seats and jumped around in pain.
"Vhat happened?!" asked Svetlana as she and Chester entered the room.
"OW! OW! OW!" Mike rubbed his backside, "Somebody placed thumbtacks in our chairs!"
Both he and Vito had at least ten or so tacks stuck to their rears as Mal came out of his hiding place, laughing his head off.
"Gotcha!" Mal pointed and laughed.
"Mal!" Vito glared at his brother, "What did you do that for?! Ow!"
"Hey, it's who I am!" Mal ran away laughing some more, "See ya, suckers!"
"Mal, you come back here!" Mike tried to run but was in too much pain to do so, "Ow..."
"Come on, darling." Svetlana wrapped an arm around his shoulders, "Ve better remove those things immediately."
"Actually, that's a good idea." Mike winced.
Chester did the same thing for Vito as he and his granddaughter led the boys to his room and closed the door.
"OUCH!" Vito yelped as he held on to the bed, "Can't you be gentle or something?"
"Hold still and stop squirming!" Chester complained, "I'm doing the best I can!"
The two boys were bent over the bed as Svetlana and Chester used tweezers to get the tacks off them.
"Ah!" Mike hissed through his teeth, "That really hurts!"
"I know, dear." Svetlana said in a comforting tone and rubbed Mikes back, "But just try to bear vith it until ve're done. Okay?"
"Okay..." both Mike and Vito groaned in pain.
A couple minutes later, Svetlana and Chester were finally done and had both boys lay on the bed for a little bit to rest themselves.
"I'll be right back." Svetlana said as she left the room.
She came back with two small ice packs, one for Mike and and another for Vito. After placing both ice packs on her brothers backsides, she gave them each a loving kiss on their foreheads.
"There now." Svetlana gave a motherly smile, "Better?"
"We are now." Mike smiled softly, "Thanks."
"Yeah." Vito nodded, "Thank sis'."
"You're velcome, darlings." Svetlana sat down next to her brothers as Chester did the same.
"I am going to kill Mal for this!" Vito said before he backside stung a little, "Ow..."
"Just relax, sonny." Chester rubbed his back, "I'm sure he didn't mean it."
"Still, why did he do this?" Mike asked.
"You know how he is, dear." Svetlana answered her brother, "He may not be evil anymore, but that doesn't mean he isn't sneaky and mischievous like a fox."
"Well, as soon as I get better," Vito winced, "I'm gonna get him back if it's the last thing I do."
"How are you gonna do that?" Mike wondered, "Like Svetlana said, you know how Mal is."
Vito thought for a minute and then, he remembered he and Mal using a book as kids on pranking. He thought with the help of the book, he would be able to get back at his he was rested, Vito got up and went to find the book but it wasn't on the shelf where it should be.
"Dang it!" he cursed to himself, "He must've gotten it first."
Very carefully, Vito snuck into Mike and Mal's room to find the prank book on his desk. He snagged it and rushed to the storage closet before anyone saw him and started to read a bit.
"Man, I haven't used this in years." Vito said quietly, "But, which one am I gonna do? It's been so long since I last did a decent prank."
He started to flip the pages until he came across a classic prank that worked just about every time. The smirk on Vito's face grew as he formulated a wonderful and awful idea for his revenge on Mal.
"Perfect." he said to himself as he held the book in his arms and snickered.
It took Vito a half an hour to get everything he needed for his master plan. He snuck into Mal and Mikes room to get it set up and made sure Mike was away so he wouldn't get caught in his trap. Once he heard his younger brother coming, Vito hid away to watch his plan unfoil.
"Hehe." Mal chuckled to himself, "I got my brothers good! I should do this more often."
"That's what you think, little bro'." Vito thought and smirked.
As soon as Mal walked through the door, he felt himself covered in sticky maple syrup!
"Ugh! What the hey?!" he groaned as the syrup covered him from head to toe.
But before he could do anything. Vito threw a pillow case full of feathers at his brother until he looked like a giant chicken. Mal was spitting out feathers and waving his arms around which caused some of the feathers to fall off, "Vito-pfft!" he spat out, "I'll get you for this!"
Vito only laughed seeing his brother as a chicken, "Oh yeah? Don't go all mother hen on me, chicken!" he ran out of Mal's sight and into his room.
He took a moment to laugh himself out before he grabbed the prank book off his nightstand. He turned to the back of the page where it had a list of the people he pranked and he marked off Mal's picture, "And check! Okay, let's see who's next?"
Right under Mal was his older brother, Manitoba Smith, and the shirtless teen began to formulate his plan. He grabbed a pie tin and a tub of creme filling he had gotten from the kitchen earlier and made a creme pie all by himself, "Perfect!" Vito said before he licked some of the filling of his hand, "Mmmm!"
Then, Vito took the pie and, very carefully, made his way into the kitchen. There he separated the table just enough for his hand to slip out underneath; puts a very large table cloth over it so no one notices anything; places the pie on top; and crawls underneath the table as soon as he heard his older brothers footsteps.
Manitoba walked into the kitchen to grab a snack when he saw the pie on the table and a note right next to it.
"Huh?" he picked up the note, "What's this now?"
The note read, "Manitoba, enjoy this cream pie. Your little brother, Vito."
"Wow! That was sure nice of him." Manitoba gave a grin, "I'll have to thank him later."
But when Manitoba reached for the dessert, Vito pushed it upward and it went...
SPLAT!
"Oh crikey!" Manitoba exclaimed, "Pfft! Blah!"
Manitobas face was completely covered in cream filling and he tried to wipe it off as Vito came out of his hiding spot and laughed at his older brother.
"Got ya bro'!" Vito laughed and did a little victory dance, "I got ya! I got ya! In your face...literally! Hahahaha!"
"Yeah yeah. Real funny." Manitoba said in sarcasm and gave a small glare, "I gotta go wash up."
Vito checked his brothers face on the list, "Manitoba: check!" He walked away to the bathroom and Vito gave a devious smirk as went to prank his next target: Mike.
Later that afternoon, Mike was sitting down in the kitchen about to have some french fries for a snack when Vito sat with him.
"Hey Vito." Mike said, "I was just about to have a snack. Wanna share?"
"No thanks bro'." Vito shook his head, "I'm good."
"Suit yourself." he shrugged as he was about to grab the ketchup bottle.
"Ey yo! Look over there!" Vito pointed behind his brother, "The trash can's on fire!"
"What?!" Mike said as he turned around, "Where?"
Thinking quickly, Vito switched the ketchup bottle with another identical bottle that he had hidden from Mike. "I don't see anything."
"Really?" Vito acted as casual as possible, "Huh. Guess I need glasses or something."
"Probably." Mike teased before putting the "ketchup" on his fries.
Vito struggled to hold in his laughter while Mike immediately noticed, "What are you snickering about?" he furrowed his brow.
"Oh nothing." Vito tried to act as nonchalant as possible.
"Okay..." Mike furrowed his brow as he took a bite of three of his fries.
As soon as Mike swallowed his food, his face began to turn red and his eyes started to leak. Then, he stood up and run around in circles, "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!"
Vito started banging the table as he laughed his butt off seeing his brother run to the sink and guzzle down gallons of water to cool off his burning mouth. While Mike was busy, Vito got up and walked out of the kitchen.
"Mike...check!" Vito puts a check mark next to Mike's face, "Next up: Chester! I'd better be careful with him or he'll come after me with that cane of his." he shuddered at the thought.
He grabbed a can a shaving cream from the bathroom and a feather duster from the closet before going to the living room where Chester is sleeping on the couch. He crept up in front of the old man, puts a bunch of shaving cream in his hand, and tickled his nose with the feather until Chester rubbed his face with the shaving cream. As soon as his grandfather started waking up, Vito hid behind the couch and waited for his reaction.
"Ugh! What the?!" Chester complained as he sat up, "Pfft! My face! Dang kids! You're lucky I can't see anything otherwise I'd be really mad!"
Chester tried to walk his way to the bathroom but he kept bumping into things due to the shaving cream all over his face. As soon as he was out of sight, Vito broke into laughter again, "Hahahahaha! Priceless!"
Once the coast was clear, he sat on the couch to check his list again, "Chester: check!" Last but not least is Svetlana!"
Vito ran back to his room, grabbed a bottle of glue, wrote a note, placed it in Svetlana's room, and went to the computer room to wait for his sister. But not before placing glue on the chair first and it happened to be the kind glue that looked clear & see through instead of a pasty color.
"Hello?" Svetlana called before she entered, "Vito? Vhy did you send this note for me to come in here?"
"I wanted to show you a funny video." Vito said innocently as he pulled out a chair, "Here, have a seat."
"Alright." Svetlana smiled as she sat down. Luckily, she never noticed the glue on the chair.
Then, Vito pulled up a video and it began to play, "Hey sis!" Vito appeared in the video.
"What ze?" Svetlana said in confusion, "Vhat is this?"
"Keep watching." her brother said.
"Noticed anything funny about your chair?" his video self smirked.
"Vito, vhat does that me-" Svetlana tried to stand up but before she could finish what she was saying, she found herslef stuck to the chair, "Vhat?! I'm stuck!"
"Ha!" the Vito in the clip started to dance, "Joke's on you!" he kept dancing until the video ended.
"Hahaha!" Vito laughed at her, "Gotcha!"
"Vito," she growled at him, "vhat did you do?!"
"I put glue on your chair, twinkletoes!" Vito pulled out the glue bottle and continued to laugh, "You should've seen your face!"
"Vito, I'm gonna-" Svetlana tried to stand up but she's still trapped in the glue-ridden seat, "Oooh! You are so finished vhen I get loose!"
"In your dreams, sticky pants!" he smirked before he left, "Toodles!"
"Vito!" she yelled as she struggled in her seat, "You get back here!"
A minute after Vito left, Mike almost walked past the computer room when he saw his sister in distress. "Svetlana, you okay?" he asked.
"I'm stuck!" she struggled even more.
"Let me guess, Vito?" Mike sighed in frustration.
"Yeah." she said again, "He put glue in my seat und made me sit down."
"Oi..." he rubbed his temples, "He got me too, but we'll deal with him later. Let me help you out."
"Oh thank you Mike." Svetlana smiled gratefully.
Mike held Svetlana and was ready to pull her out, "Okay. On the count of three, I'm gonna pull you off. Ready?"
"Ya." the gymnast nodded.
"Alright. One...two...three!" Mike said tried to pull his sister off the chair.
Mike pulled as hard as he could as Svetlana tried to pull herself out as well. About a minute of pulling and...
RIP!
After hearing the dreaded noise, Svetlana turned around and saw that the back the back of her pants was torn and her underwear was exposed. "Oh my!" she blushed in embarrassment and covered her backside with her hands.
"H-Hang on!" Mike covered his eyes, looked away, and grabbed a small blanket that was on the floor. Without looking, he gave it to his sister and she wrapped it around her waist.
"Thank you, Mike." Svetlana smiled at him, "I'm good now."
"Okay and no problem." Mike opened his eyes and smiled back, "Uhh, do you wanna head back into your room and change?"
"Good idea." Svetlana nodded before she left the room, "Vito, you vill pay for zis!" she thought in anger.
After Svetlana changed, she and Mike went with the others to the kitchen to play cards and calm down, except for Mal who was still ceaning the syrup and feathers off of him. But, no one was aware of the shirtless personality watching them and waiting to strike again.
Vito was outside of the kitchen cleaning the door windows and shined them so bright that it looks like it was open.
"I'm going to relax. I'll be right back." Chester said. This was Vitos cue to stop and hide, waiting to see this happen as he peeled a banana.
Chester was about to walk into the living room and without knowing it, he went right into the door. "Ow! Dang invisible doors!" Chester yelled.
"Chester!" The explorer personality said in concern.
Manitoba, then, ran over to Chester to see what happened. But after Vito finished eating his banana, he threw the peel on the floor, and Manitoba slid on the peel and right into the door as well. Though he thought he would be safe after being pranked once, Manitoba became a victim once again.
"Oh my gosh!" Svetlana ran over to her grandfather and boyfriend, "Are you two al-" and she slammed to the door as well as going to Manitoba, "Ow!"
"What happened?!" Mike went over to check on the fallen personalities.
He saw Chester, Manitoba, and Svetlana all on top of each other just like when they tried to take control of Mike during his time on Revenge of the Island. "Are you guys okay?!" Mike asked as he helped them up.
"Ya..." Svetlana groaned in pain, "I think so."
"How they hey did that happen?" Manitoba groaned as well.
"Hahahaha!" Vito laughed as he came out from his hiding place, "I can't believe you guys fell for that! That was priceless!"
"Vito..." the three injured personalities glared at him.
"Gotta go!" Vito scrammed outta there, "Later dudes!"
As the others got up and brushed themselves off, one look at them and you can tell they were not happy about Vito's non-stop pranking.
"Everyone, meet me and Mal in our room in five minutes." Mike announced before leaving to get his brother. Everyone agreed and did as Mike told them to.
In Mike and Mals room, everyone else was sitting down on Mike's bed as he and his twin brother decided to lead the meeting. Even though Mal got some of the feathers and syrup off him, some of it was still stuck to his clothes and hair.
"Thank you guys for coming." Mike said, "I think we all can agree that Vito's pranking craze has gotten a little out of hand lately."
"No duh!" Mal barked out, "I've had to take three showers already and I'm still sticky!"
"I had to wash my face many times to get that cream out of my eyes and face!" Manitoba said.
"I had whipped cream stuck in my nose!" Chester said in irritation.
"I had to throw away a good pair of pants because of that stupid glue prank he pulled!" Svetlana complained.
"Not to mention he almost killed me, Chester, and Svetlana almost got killed just a few minutes ago." Manitoba added, "I oughta feed him to the dingos!"
"I'll tear him limb from limb!" Mal growled.
"Once I get him over my knee, he won't be able to sit down for a month!" Chester tapped his cane.
"Und I'll kick him so hard, he'll be begging for mercy!" Svetlana threatened.
Everyone started shouting out what they could do to Vito, but Mike had a very different and non-painful idea.
"Now now, guys." Mike reassured everyone, "I have a plan that will stop Vito in his tracks."
"What plan?" asked his sister.
"Come here." he told everyone to huddle closer, "Now, here's what we're gonna do."
Everyone listened closely as Mike whispered about his plan and he did it quietly so Vito wouldn't hear if he happened to pass by.
"Okay. Everybody clear on the plan?" Mike asked as the others nodded.
He and the others opened the door to leave the room and, suddenly, dozens of water-balloons fell on them and got them all soaking wet. In a distance, Vito is heard laughing his head off.
"Mike, this plan better work." Manitoba said in a low voice. This meant that he is now ticked off and very upset.
"Trust me Manitoba, it will." Mike wrung out the water from his shirt, "At least I hope..."
Once the evening had rolled around, the plan was set and now all that's left is to play the waiting game. Vito was walking in the hallway when he noticed something only a few feet away.
"Huh? What's that?" he asked himself.
Vito looked down to see a chicken leg on the floor, "Aw sweet! Deliciousness, come to papa!"
He looked around and took a couple steps towards it. Then suddenly, the chicken started moving on it's own, as if someone was tugging it by a string.
"What the?" he tried to grab the money again but moved away, "Ey yo! Come back here!"
The little plastic piece of food, unknown to Vito, kept flying away faster and faster until it reached the storage room where it stopped at a certain spot on the floor. There pulling the string was Mike, hiding behind a crate, "Get ready guys!" he whispered, "Here he comes!"
As soon as Vito was inside, he ran towards the chicken and took a bite, only to realize it's a fake. "Blah!" he spat it out, "Is this someone's idea of a joke?!"
"You better believe it, bro'." Mal smirked deviously, "NOW!"
Before Vito could do anything, he felt a rope wrap around his legs and was being strung up like a piece of meat.
"Hahaha!" Manitoba said as he held the rope, "Gotcha!"
Then, Mal and Mike came out with water guns full of pink and yellow paint and just sprayed Vito all over, "Ey yo! Stop it! Cut it out!" he yelled.
"Oh no, no, no." Mal chuckled, "We're not done with you yet, big brother ."
"Svetlana! Chester! You're up!" Mike ordered with a smirk.
Suddenly, said personalities came out with buckets full of glitter and just sprinkled and dumped the stuff all over the tough personality. Soon enough, Vito was colorful and sparkly like a stuffed animal, only without the fur. Everyone laughed at the boy as he hung upside down and everything on him started to drip.
"Ey yo!" Vito said as he hung there, "What's the big idea doing this to me?! I look like an idiot this way!"
"Vell it serves you right after all ze pranks you have pulled on us!" Svetlana scolded her brother as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Not to mention making a mess of things and nearly killing us!" Chester wagged his finger at him.
When everyone started making complaints about him, Vito didn't like what was going on, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" he said loudly, "You guys are sore because I played a few jokes on you?! What a bunch of sore losers!"
That's when Chester gave him a sharp whack on his backside with his cane, "OUCH!" yelped Vito.
"Watch what you say, young man!" Chester warned in a scolding tone, "You're in no position to be calling us names."
"He's right, dude." Mal agreed, "You went overboard with your stupid antics."
"Me?" he snapped, "Well, I wasn't the one who stuck tacks under my butt earlier!"
"I was just having fun, that's all!" Mal snapped back.
"You two cool it!" Mike told them before they continued fighting, "I think we can agree that you're both at fault here."
"What?!" the two brothers said.
"While Vito went too far with his jokes, Mal started it with that thumbtack prank he did today." Mike pointed out.
Mal opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself when he heard a groan, "Ohhh." Vito moaned sickly, "I'm getting dizzy."
"Oh dear." Svetlana said in concern, "Ze blood must be rushing to his head."
"I'll get him down." Manitoba lets go of the rope and Vito was dropped on his head. "Owww!" he cried.
Vito started to rub his head and his backside as he stood up, "Ugh. I'm gonna go take a shower." he said as he walked past everyone.
"A-hem!" Chester stood in front of the door blocking Vitos path, "Aren't you forgetting something?"
The shirtless boy knew no one is going to let him off without an apology. So he turned and faced his siblings again, "Fine. I'm really sorry that I pranked you all and I promise to tone it down next time."
"That's better. "Und ve accept your apology." Svetlana smiled as the others nodded,
Mal smirked until his twin brother nudged his shoulder and gave him a small glare, "Alright alright. I'm sorry I pranked you and Mike earlier."
"Okay." Vito sighed, "Apology accepted. Thanks."
"No problem."
"May I please go take that shower now?" Vito asked Chester.
"Yes you may." Chester stepped aside.
"Thanks." Vito said before he walked out.
Mike smiled at his family knowing that Vito learned his lesson before they all headed out as well. After Vito showered a couple times, he joined his family for dinner and even though he apologized a couple more times, everyone forgave him as long as he's more careful of his pranks in the future.
Later, Mike and the others turned in to get a good nights sleep. But as soon as each personality was in bed...they felt whipped cream in their toes.
"VITO!" everyone shouted.
"Hehehe!" Vito chuckled as he laid down, "Works every time."
Okay so maybe he didn't learn his lesson entirely, but hey, that's Vito for you.
"You better believe it, dude!" he said before everything faded out.
To Be Continued...
