Went smoothly I guess but avoiding Bucky was near impossible since we practically had the same friends. Yet I saw him hanging out with Natasha, and sometimes I'd be hanging out with Jann or Falcon/Sam.
Saturday couldn't come any slower though. Jan and I was having breakfast when the gang joined us as I saw at Loki's table Amora, Taskmaster, Zemo, and Red Hulk there. I looked to Bucky as he was glaring daggers at Zemo, and Tony was either glaring at Steve and Bucky for some strange reason...
I gulped as I then tapped my spoon on my herbal tea in a coffee mug. Getting everyone at the table's attention.
"Thank you for coming everyone." I began, "Anyhow I feel this Prank Festival will be a good idea for us to let loose allowing us to have fun and see who has the best laugh.
"Here are the rules," Said Coulson, "It has to be clean, no pranks in the bathroom-."
"Saw that one coming a kilometer away." I muttered.
"Awe man I had devised a plan to green dye in the water once Loki stepped in." said Tony.
"Tony," I said "It's a good joke but I thought you were smarter than that."
The gang chuckled as he then agreed with me, "I had it all planned all I had to do was-."
"We get the picture Tony, but I think you need some help thinking on simpler jokes that are easy to pull off. How about you and Sam work on that together?"
"Sounds fine with me." Sam/Falcon spoke.
"Prank calls are out because everyone has caller id on their phones."
"Awe..." Said Bucky, "I loved doing those back in the day."
I grinned, "Find the nearest pay phone."
The gang laughed as Coulson laughed too, "She found a loophole."
"What about putting those springy snakes in a can of peanuts?" asked Steve.
"Steve, what else can you put them in?" I said as he then started to snicker.
"Don't say it out loud, save it for that day." I said grinning.
"I was thinking of shrinking all the furniture in Fury's office."
Coulson laughed, "Just don't touch Lola with the pym particles please."
"Okay, noted."
"I'd figured I'd scare him from the underground tunnels." said Natasha
"Natalia he's going to expecting that." Bucky spoke, "I guess I'll have to help you with your assignment then."
"Hmm," Jann spoke, "I could replace Fury's clothes with silly outfits."
"Or you can make a overcoat like his that's in multi colors or patterns." I said, "I'm sure he wouldn't mind just for the day."
She snickered, "True."
"What about Pepper?" Asked Tony.
"It's her day off," said Coulson.
"I had a good prank lined up for her." Tony groaned.
"Like what a whoopie cushion?" I said as the gang laughed.
"Not even close but still that's a pretty classy idea."
"Classy and quick."
"Could Make Big Whoopie Cushion For Red Hulk." Hulk said.
Tony laughed, "Okay I'll make one for you Big Guy."
"Oh wait Hulk I got a even better idea we shrink Red Hulk." I said.
We all laughed.
"How about we regroup later tonight to discuss other ideas." I said, "I just remembered have to write a letter to my family."
"Oh okay sure," said Steve, "Lunch time or dinner?"
"Ahhh Evening meal? I always get Supper and Dinner mixed up."
They laughed at me again, not that I didn't mind but it was refreshing to hear people laugh at the stuff I say even if they weren't intended to be funny or was as a joke. It was a hour later when Sam came up to me, "Hey Melly."
"What's up?"
"Definitely not me." He said as I laughed.
"At least not yet you're not up there." I joked back.
"Hey ah I was wondering you like basketball right?"
"I play it occasionally."
"Wanna shoot some hoops?"
"Sure as long as you're not cheating with you're winged jetpack."
"Deal."
There was a park not far from the Academy as he gave me a ball as we started shooting the ball into the basket hoop. He was silent at first as I decided to step it up, give the guy a challenge as I dribbled the ball and dodged him trying to steal the ball from me. I shot the ball into the hoop, as it went through.
"She shoots she scores!" I called out.
"Wrong game girl... eh whoops I guess it does work." He said, "You're not bad."
"Thanks Sam."
"Look I just wanted to get away from Steve, Tony and Bucky for a while."
"Speaking of Tony why is the dude giving them death glares?"
"They got into a argument in Political Sciences in Fury's class."
"About what?"
"The Charter of Human Rights."
"The Charter applies to everyone."
"Exactly what Fury said."
"Really? Are we sure we're still talking about the same dude here?"
"I know right." He said as we continued to shoot more hoops, "I thought you'd might know more history about it since I heard for the longest time the dude who wrote it never got credit for it until the late 80's I think?"
"The man who wrote it was from Hampton New Brunswick Canada."
"Whoa that wasn't far from where we found you right?"
"Eh more like a 2 hour drive, it's pretty close to the city of Saint John."
"But why didn't he get any credit for it?"
"Discrimination, the Civil Rights Act didn't come into effect until the mid late 70's. He had one arm, he lost it while being at the wrong place at the wrong time... At the train tracks."
"Whoa... So without him-"
"Yeah, exactly Martian Luther King Jr wouldn't have been influenced to start the African- American Civil rights movement." I said, "I believe it even applies to Enhanced people to."
He made a whistle, "You're knowledge is astounding."
"I study history, I don't take it from one source, when you're looking for something it's best to keep a lookout for anything in relation to it that can help your case."
"Even in espionage?"
"And finding a criminal too. Think of history as solving a murder mystery, you have clues, you have a place, and you have people involved."
