I'd like to put in a special shout out to four reviewers who have reviewed a LOT. Almost every chapter for quite some time now. Or at times when it means so much to me.
Those four are…. *Drumroll Please*
The Bizarre Bookworm, BonnieSilver888, BooksLover2000 and RebelStiff
Check out their stories! I've read them and they're great! So… yeah!
Thank you all so much for all your support! It means so much to me!
Important note: I had two votes to continue the prank war and one to stop it.
But, I realized that the war had been going on for 5 chapters and I can see why you may want it to end. So, this chapter will be focused on the ultimate prank. After that, I will give you a few days to put in some more suggestions for what to happen next.
More pranks, maybe Tris singing again or going on tour, softball stuff happening, whatever you want, I'll take it into consideration!
Then, I'll start writing, and you'll see what happens!
I just don't want Tris to become a Mary Sue...
Thanks!

(Sorry this was so long, but it's fairly important)
Marlene POV
We brainstormed a lot of different pranks. We decided to be the slightly better person and not scare them too much, just make it practically impossible for them to have a good day tomorrow. Not in a bad way, let's just say they're going to be having a LOT of "fun."
Tris POV
I woke up in the bed and turned over, expecting to see Christina. What I saw, was very unexpected. I screamed, waking him up.
"Tris!" Tobias shouted. He thought for a few seconds… "Hold on… When did you get here? This is my bed, where is Zeke?"
"Toby, look around, you're in the girls room," I said carefully. I looked around and saw that the other bed, Shauna and Marlene's, was unoccupied. That's NOT a good sign.
"I didn't walk in here. I fell asleep in my bed. Where's Christina, Shauna and Marlene, then? Shouldn't they be here?"
"I don't know, but we better figure it out!"
I leaned over and flipped on the switch on the lamp, I did this out of habit, even though it was pointless in the already brightly lit room. When I did this, however, I saw a little note.
It read:
Hey Trissy! Good luck getting out of this one! Four was right, revenge IS sweet
Uri
I tried to get out of bed, only to realize that I get up easily, my hand was tied to Tobias's with a thick rope, one that I use to tie the tubes up to the boat. I also noticed we were tied at the ankle to. That was only going to get cut with the really sharp scissors I keep in my drawer. My right hand was stuck to his left. Ha! At least they didn't think one thing though, I'm left handed and he's right handed. That makes things slightly easier. Stay optimistic, Tris, stay optimistic.
"Get up!"
"What?" Tobias asked, confused, "Why don't you,"
"You idiot! Our hands and feet are stuck together! How else am I going to get up with dragging you with me! And I'm not strong enough to drag you, so, move it!"
"Alright, alright," he grumbled, slowly sitting up. We got up and carefully attempted to walk across the room. Attempted being the key word.
We fell down quite a few times, I could tell that I was going to have quite a few bruises.
We took a few more steps, I tripped over the dresser and landed face first on the ground, then a second later, Tobias was on top of me.
"Ouch!"
"Ooops… Sorry, I'm not the best walker early in the morning!"
I heard a lot of laughter coming from one side of the room.
"What's that? There's no one else in here," Tobias said.
"I don't know, but let's find out!"
We stumbled over to the place where we thought we heard the laughter coming from. Sure enough, there was a locked glass box sitting on a shelf. Odd, I don't recall having that box. Upon closer examination, I realized that inside of it was my phone. It was on a facetime call with, I peered closer, Uriah Pedrad! Suddenly, a black piece of paper was shoved over the screen, but not before I could spot everyone else's face in our gang that were not currently present in this room. Also known as, our pranksters. It was in a spot where anyone could see anything that we could possibly do. Clever, very clever.
"Four!"
"Yeah," He suddenly seemed confused as to why I called him Four.
"I called you Tobias," I whispered in his ear. I was freaking out! If anyone caught that I may never be able to forgive myself!
"Shhh…. It's okay! Our side is on mute. I'm sure they are really regretting that now," he said, making me aware that I was thinking that out loud.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Now all we have to do is get out of here. That might cause a problem considering everything in this room is zip tied together. We walked over to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. Darn. Wait… How is this possible? The door doesn't lock outside Will is way too smart for his own good. He can turn the lock around on a door. So we are now locked in.
"I know that Christina and I found a key somewhere in here. I think it was inside of a book in the nightstand drawer," I said, glad to have some hope. Our friends can be pretty evil, who knows how long they could possibly keep us in here.
We stumbled over to the drawer and I frantically opened the book. There was no key inside.
"Trissy... "
"Yeah," I said weary of what he may say.
"Good news; I think I know where we might find the key."
I interrupted, "That's great!"
"Keep listening. Bad news; if I know Uriah at all, it's in one of the millions of drawers so we will have to go through every single one to find it." Tobias said this while chuckling to himself.
"You're laughing?" I asked incredulously.
"Well yeah, if this was a prank on someone else this would be amazing and hilarious."
"Fair point, but, right now, it's not funny," I said. He immediately stopped laughing.
I started to walk toward the other nightstand while Tobias attempted to walk toward the door. We both ended up moving a couple of feet, but they were toward the ground.
"Alright, Tris, you are WONDERFUL! But. This is not working. I think we need to devote some time to getting these ropes undone."
"Agreed," we started to push and pull on the strings around our wrists.
"I think some teamwork is called for," he said smiling.
Time skip, 1 hour later
We spent the last hour trying to figure out how to work out all the knots someone had tied. Whoever had done that really deserved to be a boy scout or girl scout.
Finally, both our hands and feet were free.
Tobias raised his arms in the air and shouted, "I'm free!"
I smiled, "Not quite yet, we've still got a couple of doors to go through. That was the easy part!"
"Well, how about we get the scissors undone now. That way we can cut some of the zip ties, find the key, and make it out of here. I've gotta pee!"
I smiled, he can be a little cute sometimes.
20 minutes later, with very little success.
"I am seriously considering giving up right now." I said, dead serious. We had gotten the scissors undone but we still had a bunch of zip ties to go. It didn't seem like we were going to have much success.
"Okay. Let's pretend for a moment you DO give up. Where are you going to go? They took laptop, your phone is locked up and facetiming Uriah, and all your books have been taken, in case you haven't noticed."
"What? My precious Th1rteen R3asons Why? Nooooooo! Curse you, Uri!" I dramatically fell on the floor.
"So, I recommend you get up, and cut some zip ties to these drawers."
"Fine." I spun around in a circle and then stopped in front of a drawer. I cut off the zip tie and opened it. Nope. No luck. But I did find the fifth bag of Christina's makeup we've found today. Wow.
"Tris!"
"Yeah?"
"I think I found it!"
"Great! Let's go!"
"One problem. It's on a key ring with at least 50 other keys."
"Good God. Are they ever going to give us a break?"]
"Well let's start going. You know what it looks like, about, right. So eliminate all the ones that aren't close."
I did exactly that.
We were left with ten keys. I watched intently while he put them in. On the 9th one, he twisted the key and the door opened! Yes! Finally! We high-fived and walked out of the room together! Smiling, because we knew we had defeated them. Of course, Zeke and Uriah took that exact moment to come around the corner and smiling each holding a pie pan full of whipped cream.
I know what's coming, but they're too close for me to get out of the way.
"3,2,1!" And Uriah shoved his plate in my face and Zeke shoved it in Tobias'.
