Chapter 7

It was Saturday, and Mary got up early. Randessa, Sydney, and she had planned to go to the mall today, and they all agreed to meet at Mary's house. They would meet at her house around 11:00, and they would walk to the mall from there. Mary, being the prankster she is, was planning on doing a prank on Max and Steel before she left. That's why she was up and ready at 5:00 in the morning. She woke up Liz and transformed into her flight mode. She was glad that Max had left a window slightly open, because that just made her job so much easier. She opened it all the way and climbed in.

'Tell me again why we're doing this,' Liz complained inside of her head.

"Because Max nearly broke my toe when he dropped his books on my feet while Butch was making a video, and he should know better than to mess with me," Mary whispered with a smirk. She walked up to him, and giggled when she saw him and Steel unconsciously cuddling in their sleep.

"Priceless," she said in a hushed tone as she took out her phone and got a few shots of them. She carefully set her phone in a secret pocket in her suit and crept up to them with a bottle of shaving cream in hand. She placed some in Max's free hand and tickled his face. On instinct, he reached up with the same hand that had the cream on it, and ended up smearing the shaving cream all over his face. Mary couldn't take it, and she fell on the floor because of her laughter. She clutched her stomach and continued to laugh, causing Max to bolt up in bed, only to touch his face with his other hand because of the substance he felt on his face. He ran out of bed and into the bathroom to wash his face clean of the shaving cream. When he came back, he saw Mary in her suit but without her mask, and Liz laughing on the floor. Steel had woken up in time to see the whole thing, causing him to laugh as well. Max glared at Mary as she settled down and wiped her eyes from the tears that had formed from her fit of laughter. Grinning, she turned her head to see a very cranky McGrath staring down at her.

"What?!" she asked innocently, but she ended up laughing a little more. "Come on, Max, it was just a joke!~" the blonde stated while getting up.

"What was that all about?!" Max asked loudly, clearly upset that the girl in front of him woke him up and caused him to smear shaving cream all over his face.

"Max, she's clearly telling you to shave more often," Steel said in his sarcastic tone, causing Liz to laugh. Max turned his glare to his partner, but his eyes softened the slightest bit as he turned back to the female in front of him.

"Well, Max, you nearly broke my toe last week when you just so happened to drop your books on my toe while Butch was videotaping for his 'weekly videos.'" Mary sneered. Max's face changed from angry to slightly scared, remembering what had happened. Butch, Kirby, and he had set that up just to see what her reaction was. Max had 'accidentally' bumped into her while Butch had been 'innocently' videotaping. Her reaction? She grabbed the injured foot and jumped around a few moments before she punched a locker, causing a dent to form. She turned to see them holding back their laughter. When they felt her burning glare, they ran for their lives as the very angry girl ran after them with inhuman speed.

"Uh…heh, well, you see…" Max was fidgeting as he tried to come up for an excuse. He looked to his metal friend for help, but to no avail as he saw his friend snickering.

"I'll let you off this time, but this is your only warning, McGrath. Don't mess with the queen of pranks. It will only end up with you in a world of hurt," she jabbed her finger into his chest as she warned him. She had a smirk on her face as she glared at him evily.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get ready for my guests later. See ya, Max!~" Mary said as Liz linked with her. Her helmet formed back over her head, and she yelled the key words, transforming into her flight mode.

She turned to look back at him right before she jumped out the window and flew off. Max just grumbled something and went back to bed. Steel, on the other hand, stayed up and kept bugging Max about what just happened.

When Mary and Liz returned to their house, Liz returned Mary to her usual attire. Mary took out her phone and plugged it into her laptop. After she downloaded the pictures, she posted them onto the internet, making sure to also send emails with the photos attached to people she knew in the school.

'Ah, payback,' she thought as she shut down her computer once again and silently walked to the kitchen with Liz trailing behind.
