Patrick sat patiently, he knew Tess was planning something, she kept on looking at him and laughing. He hoped she didn't know about the mud pies him and the boys had planned to throw at her.

They would get her at recess, she wouldn't know what hit her…Patrick of course didn't want to make her mad or make her cry…he just wanted to have fun with his best friend!


Teresa couldn't help but laugh when she thought about Getting Patrick and Wayne and Kim at lunch… she had filled the balloons full of pudding, she had even got her dad to help her… they were chocolate pudding.

She couldn't wait to see the boys faces when they were covered in Pudding…she couldn't wait to have fun with her new friends!


At recess both Patrick at Teresa went to there backpacks and pulled out something that was in a plastic bag…the poor teacher didn't notice a thing.

"We will get them when I count to three" Teresa whispered to Grace as they snuck up behind the boys, Teresa could see that they had there own weapons, but she wanted to get the first strike, little did she know Patrick was thinking the same thing.

"One, Two…Three!" Teresa screamed and her and Grace launched forward with there balloons, throwing them with all their might she heard them splat on the boy's heads…well, Wayne and Patrick's head, Kim had moved out of the way quickly and managed to hit the girls with a balloon from behind.

She didn't see them both splat though, because he face was covered in mud, yelling a battle cry she grabbed her other balloons and wiped her face off and threw them…Patrick and his team did the same.

… The war was on.

After about five minutes all the balloons of both mud and Pudding were used up, and the teachers had started to come over to see what was going on.

"What is going on here!" the one of the teachers gasped, looking at all the grimy kids laughing in front of her, Patrick opened his mouth, obviously about to explain.

"Well, were having a WAR!" Patrick said happily the teacher looked horrified at the little people nodding in front of her.

"That's definitely not allowed!" the teacher said hastily "You are all going home right away!" she said her face going pink.

"My mom, is going to kill me" Teresa stated in a flat voice, everyone except Patrick nodded there heads, he just grinned.

"She wont actually kill you!" he told her like she was a baby, Teresa stuck her tongue out as the teacher came back.

"Come on, you kids can sit in the office until your parents arrive" the teacher said leading them away.


"You got sent to the principles office?" Harriet said, trying to keep the laughter out of her voice….she had to admit, it was a funny reason.

"Yeah mommy" Teresa said "But it was all Patrick's fault…I mean, if he wasn't annoying I wouldn't have had to make war" she pleaded.

"I'm sure it was" Her mother replied "But next time you don't do that okay?"

"Okay" Teresa agreed.

'But only after I beat them' she added silently, to herself.


"Patrick…you threw mud at her?" Janine said with a sigh…she never would understand boys.

"It was war mum" Patrick explained, Janine smacked her forehead with her hand.

"Well, no more war at school got it?" she said, Patrick nodded…crossing his fingers behind his back.

Like as if he was going to give up that easily, he had to be the winner of the war!

"Something tells me he's lying" His father said dryly, Patrick looked over, trying to look innocent.

"Never ever" he said with a grin…If only they knew.
