Down by the kitchens, Marie and the rest of the red team was brainstorming tactics on how to win.
"Does anyone have any bright ideas?" asked Cheatsy while twiddling with his thumbs behind his back.
"Don't twiddle your thumbs behind your back! I'm the leader of this team, so I FORBID YOUR TWIDDLING!" screamed Bully as Cheatsy shot him an angry look before removing his hands from behind.
"Woah, Bully... Take a freaking chill pill! We understand you're the team leader and everything but... WAIT!" said Marie looking outside the castle window as the daylight was quickly fading.
"What?" asked Bully, coming to look out of the window himself.
"We'll make the prank war PUBLIC! Then people will really want to join! There's a random person standing there right now, and let's ask them if they want to join our team, we'll surely win if other people come to the red team!" said Marie rambling worse than Big Mouth when the conversation just isn't interesting.
"Hey you!" said Bully opening the castle doors and walking out to the girl feeding the Cheep Cheeps in the pond. "Do you want to join the Koopalings prank war? If so, you get to be on the red team, we really need to win.
"Sure, I mean I guess... I've wanted to use my legendary paint shampoo prank on someone... Who's on your team? Oh, and by the way, my name is Belinda." said the girl. She had black hair and blue eyes that were shining as bright as the sea.
"Well, for starters, I'm Bully leader of the red team." he said while handing her a red shirt and wand.
"I'm Cheatsy. You can guess what I do because of my name..." said Cheatsy reaching to shake her hand.
"Let me guess, you cheat right?" asked Belinda struggling to put on the shirt.
"NO! I STEAL YOU IDIOT! But cheating is what I do second best..." he said.
"And I'm Marie. Finally someone else that's human! And has strategic planning I hope..." she said walking away probably distracted by a shiny object. Shiny!
"I'm Big Mouth, and I'm known 'round this towwwwwnnn for ramblin' like a fiend." he said in an odd western accent. "Speaking of which, the other day I accidentally ran into the bathroom when Kootie Pie was taking a shower and then she was yelling and-"
"Sorry, but really not in the mood to hear it..." said Belinda covering her ears. Marie couldn't stop laughing and Bully couldn't shut her up.
"C'mon Marie! If you laugh much louder, the blue team could probably hear us from the other side of the castle!" yelled Bully in an attempt. Marie stopped laughing all of a sudden as she came to her senses.
"Wait Belinda, did you say paint shampoo?" she asked.
"Yeah, why?" Belinda asked curious of what was going on.
"Kooky would have a spaz attack if something ruined his perfect hair, and so would Rose... What do you guys think about Kooky having purple hair, and Rose having pink hair?" she asked watching her team's faces light up.
"That's brilliant!" said Cheatsy as the new team rushed to the castle to get supplies.
"This is going to be the best prank ever!" Belinda exclaimed as they rushed to the nearest paint supply.
