Letters to my arch-enemy

Petra had been furious when Jesse pranked her by painting her armor. Of course she had no proof that it was her who did it, but the voice in her head she called intuition said it was Jesse.

Somehow said prankster had disappeared, but there was something she really wanted to do to get pay back. The hours of washing the pink dye of the armor wouldn't go in vain...

Petra had the perfect plan in mind. While it was ridiculously complicated for her standards, it would be awesome. While it directly affected a certain bully, it would eventually have it's effect on Jesse too.

Grabbing a piece of paper and some ink, she sat at a desk and wrote. What?... She was still thinking that out. Every word was calculated, well thought out and clearly took it's time. Whether it was because Petra really roasted her brain to come up with this or to be careful not to stain herself with ink.

Around two hours later, the warrior emerges from her room and heads down the Order Hall. On the way, she finds – who else? – Jesse. A few heated moments pass. The leader was nervous and obviously scared out of her mind, clearly giving away this little something she had done. The redhead had glared intently for several moments, before wearing a suspicious smile, patted Jesse on the shoulder and walked away.

Jesse was utterly surprised she didn't get beaten up. What was Petra up to? It wouldn't take long to find out. Just one day.

It took walking through Beacontown and the surrounding areas for half the day, avoiding crazy fans and asking people she was sure that they wouldn't give away her current location, but she finally found the Ocelots' hideout. A small apartment in the edge of town.

Not yet wanting to face them just yet, Petra just slipped the piece of paper under the door, and left. It would take a while, but she was sure it was going to work.

Just two hours later, Aiden wakes up from a small doze on the couch. He obviously has fallen asleep trying to figure out a way to take his own revenge on the new Order of the Stone for taking the fame that was rightfully theirs away. The board full of papers hanging on the wall proved that.

Stretching he got up to take just another look. Maybe some new idea would come by doing so. But Aiden couldn't really help but notice the piece of paper on the floor next to the door. Huh, it must have fallen from the board, he thought.

Picking it up, he stared at it for a few moments curiously realising that it didn't belong to the sum of papers on the board but it was something else entirely. The more he progressed the more his eyes grew wider.

"What are you doing there, boss?", Gill asked who had just popped up from behind him, coming from seemingly nowhere as he would often do these days.

Aiden shrieked. "Gill! We talked about this, no creeping up on me!"

"Sorry, boss. But seriously, what are you doing there?"

"N-nothing!", he replied, trying to hide the paper behind his back. Gill though was quick on grabbing it to read it for himself.

*In the letter*

Dear Jesse,

I know that I've behaved very badly to you in the past, but trust me when I say that I wasn't doing it for the reason you're thinking. All these years of teasing were my way of showing you how much I care about you. I have never felt this way about someone before I saw you.

You're one and only for me, Jesse. I never found the courage to say it in front of you, so I'm doing it with this letter. I love you. How much is beyond your comprehension.

Your love,

Aiden

*End of letter*

Gill looked up at Aiden and blinked. The lime eyed boy had a huge blush on his face and was opening and closing his mouth, trying to find the words.

"I-I can explain."

"Dude, I know you're obsessed with Jesse, but this... This is a whole new level!", the bearded guy broke out in a roar of laughter.

"I didn't write this! I just found it here!"

"I totally understand, boss! If you feel too shy to give it yourself, I will do it for you."

"What?- Nonononono, don't do that, just don't do that! Gill!"

Gill had already left and slammed the door behind him. Aiden cursed under his breath as he dragged himself to his room and curled into a ball under his blankets

Jesse was still puzzled by Petra's suspicious behaviour yesterday. What was that for? What was going on? She spent the day philosophizing on the issue until a certain blonde peaked through the door of her room.

"Jesse? Can I come in?"

"Sure."

"I have something that... might require your immediate attention.", Lukas said stepping in.

"Really?"

He stifled back a chuckle (or was it a uncomfortable cough?) as he handed over a piece of paper. "I... better get going now."

Lukas left just in time before Jesse mouthed a loud "WHAT?!", and then probably started gagging from disgust.

Later that day, Petra put the final act of her ingenius plan in action.

Both Aiden and Jesse recieved a letter and both wrote the same thing.

*In the letter*

Dear victim,You have just been pranked.Sincerely,Your fellow prankster Petra

*End of letter*

"Petra, you little- I'M GOING TO FIND YOU! AND WHEN I DO, I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

"Yes, there's no need to yell that loudly!

A late Valentine's Day special!

I might have stolen this idea from legendoffun's Rebel Wars, chapters From: Rebels To: Agent Kallus and Happy Early Valentine's Day! Come on, how could I resist, it's plain genius!

If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them.

Till next time!
