Chapter 9 Pranks, Trouble, And More Madness

It was nighttime, just a bit past Midnight, and most were asleep, save for a few. These few were up for a reason. It wasn't because they couldn't sleep, no, it was because they had a Job to do. Very carefully, they began to make their moves. First they had to get to the upper Floor without a Sound at all. That was the hard part till one of them pulled out a Map quietly, and pointed behind the Staircase. Yes! Of course! They could use the Hidden Elevator there! But they would have to be very careful not to wake the ones sleeping in the Fireplace.

As they quietly walked towards the Back of the Stairs, their moves were so Quiet, even 7 would be impressed. Quickly and quietly, they began to get in the Elevator. After that, it was a quiet trip up. Once up on the Second Floor of the Library, the looked around. They were looking for a certain Stitchpunk. A certain one that was on Guard Duty tonight. As they approached 1s Room, they heard snoring from Further Down the Hall. Two of the Stitchpunks had to stifle their laughs at the sound. This was to Perfect! 8 had Fallen Asleep on Guard Duty! Of all their luck! They Quietly went into 1s Room, and this was where the true fun began, but they were all in for a huge Surprise when they went to his bed.

Not only was 1 asleep in it, but 2 as well! This shocked one of them and one of the other Stitchpunks there had to put one of his hands over his mouth to quiet his gasp and surprise. He quickly pulled the others to a corner towards the door, and that's when the whispering began and the flashing.

"What is he doing here?!"

One whispered frantically to the others. The other one, even though he knew why, had to say it.

"I hate to say it, but it looks like 1 might have finally settled down at long last with 2 and made up. But made up in a way 2 wanted and knew all along. But this doesn't mean were stopped from what we came to do. We can get him to!"

He whispered, and the Sinister smile on his Face even scared the other two that were there with them a bit. They gave off a few quick flashes in confusion, and the other one that was with them just laughed quietly.

"Just watch and learn, then you two can get 2 okay?"

After a few quick flashes of excitement, they agreed. Motioning to the other Stitchpunk there, they moved back over to the bed. Very quietly, they pulled out their package they were carrying. Then, both of them began their work. First was above the eyes, then on top of them, next was around them, then on the cheeks, and lastly the lips. When 1 awoke the next morning, he was going to be furious, but it would all be worth it in the end. After they were done, both of them tried not to bust out laughing. 1 only mumbled something in his sleep, then he pulled 2 closer to him. Even after all that, 1 was still asleep! For someone being scared of Machines, it was surprising that he was such a heavy sleeper. Maybe it was because 2 was there with him.

After they were done, it took all the will power of the other two not to flash. They looked at 1 again, and they laughed silently. As they took the kit from the other two, they began to work on 2. First they did something to his eyebrows, then around them, lastly they added something above his lips. 2, unlike 1, started moving a bit. Afraid he might wake up, they watched in silence. 2 just moved his back further into 1 and didn't wake up at all. They all smiled and quietly went out of the Room as silently as they came in. Knowing that they had to get more, they decided to go after the Snoring One at the End of the Hall to, but it was the other two that wanted to do this. Understand this one, they let them go.

Once they had reached it, after a few flashes on what to do, they quietly walked over to their sleeping Giant. Noticing his Magnet laying next to him, they laughed silently. After that, they began to work. This one was going to be funny to, but simple. They just took out something, and made two Big, Black rings around his eyes. He didn't even register it. Poor 8 was that far in his sleep. Once this was done, they went back to the other two laughing their asses off silently. Knowing their work was done on this floor for now, they headed back down to the bottom one.

Their last Target and Stitchpunk was their hardest one. And knowing this, it would be up to three of them to pull it off, for it was 7 herself. Only two could really get near her without her knowing about it, but there was a third one now as well. The forth Stitchpunk that was with them decided to go back to the Room and wait for now.

As the other Three made their way to the Fireplace, they walked even more quietly. Once they got there, they could barely make out the Bed in the Corner. And just like 1, she wasn't alone. Of course they knew this already. After all, this was 6s Room. Once they made sure both 6 and 7 were asleep, two of them made their move over to the bed without a sound. 7 was cuddled up with 6 and looked very peaceful. It was a shame they were doing this, but it needed to be done.

They went around the Bed to her side of it, and that's when they began. Both of them could only hope and pray she didn't wake up. If she did, it was all over with for all three of them. One of them began to apply the stuff right above her eyes. Very carefully and slowly. Then they waited to see if she would wake up from that. Not even a move. Just the same steady breathing. Smiling to their selves, they went to work above her eyes now. After that, they moved on to around them, and then to the even harder parts. The other one that was beside him took the kit, and very carefully applied the stuff to her face. Then they waited. She mumbled out something in her sleep, and they all quietly ducked to the floor. Waiting for a minute, they popped back up. She was still asleep! She just brushed 6s arm off her head! Trying not to laugh again, this was the near final and grand final! Then they could run off! Very carefully, just like 1, they applied something to her lips.

After that, to add onto it all, they looked for her hands. Once finding them, they motioned to the other one by the door. Realizing that they were almost done, he smiled. He took out the things he had in his side pack, and quietly walked over there. After that, he began to tie them on. First one hand then the other. Finally, the last one. After tying it around her neck, they all ran out of there at top speed, not caring how much noise they made as they ran. This in turn did cause 7 to wake up, but it was already to late. It was almost morning anyway, and she had Guard Duty to do after all. Smiling down at 6 who also woke up, he looked around. Wondering what was wrong, he looked at 7 who was setting up now, and that's when all hell broke loose. He started laughing like crazy wondering who, and how, but he could barely talk to his love to get the words out.

"7!!!....*snort* AHHHHAHAHAHAHA!! WHAT HAPPEN....*snort* TO YOU?!?!"

Confused and alarmed, she looked around. First thing she noticed was that she had Black Ribbons tied to both of her Wrists. Then she could feel something tied around her neck to. Putting a hand up there, she could feel an even bigger one. Sighing she looked at 6.

"Looks someone had fun while we slept. Thing is, how did I not hear them?"

6 just kept laughing as he desperately pointed to her face. Wondering what it was, she went over to his Mirror after lighting the Candle in the corner by it. One look in it, and that set her off like a rocket.

"!!! WHO THE HELL DID THIS TO ME?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!"

7, to her horror, while she slept last night, someone had come in the room, who, she didn't know, but they were going to pay DEARLY! They had used something and above her eyes and made it Light Grey. Then something on the top of them to make them Dark Grey. Around her eyes she had something Black put there. Then on her cheeks she had something Dark Grey. Finally on her lips was also something Black. She looked like a Goth that she had seen in the Fashion Magazines the Twins showed everyone that one time. Whoever did this was going to pay dearly indeed!

By now the bottom floor was up from her scream, and the others down there could only guess it was the same for the top to. As 3, 4, 5, and 9 rushed towards 6s Place, they were stopped dead in their Tracks when she and 6 came out, causing them to halt half way there. All four of them put their hands over their mouths trying in vain not to die of laughter. 7 just glowered at them.

"I swear, if any of you laugh........."

And with those words leaving her mouth, all four of them busted out laughing like crazy. Even the Twins couldn't help themselves. They flashed at her, and she hollered at them.

"DON'T YOU DARE RECORDE THIS!! I'LL HUNT YOU TWO DOWN!!"

They just continued to laugh silently as they stopped flashing. By now 5 and 9 were on the floor laughing, tears coming out of their Optics. This whole time 6 was glowering to, his laughter over with and realizing someone hurt his love. It was rare to see him mad, but someone did this, THIS MESS to his love! Whoever it was he would make them pay himself!

Meanwhile, up on the Top Floor, 7s screaming did indeed wake the others. 1 and 2 were both jolted out of their sleep and 1 just grumbled as he sat up there in bed.

"Now I wonder what in the world happened." Pulling out a match and lighting the small candle by the bed, he just sighed as he put his hand to his forehead. 2 looked at him smiling, but then stopped short. He did a double take at first, then he got out of the bed and rushed halfway to the Door and collapsed down on the floor laughing like crazy. He couldn't help it, and he hoped 1 would find it in his heart to forgive him later on.

1, startled a bit by this and getting a bit annoyed to, just growled out at His Lovers behavior.

"And do pry tell what is so funny 2? First were woken up by what sounded to me like 7 again screaming her head off, and now your laughing for some reason?!"

Barely able to breathe he was laughing so much, and not turning around to face him for fear of laughing some more, he just pointed to the Table by the Bed with his Mirror set up on it. Confused a bit and still annoyed, he just stretched out his Head a bit and looked into it. What followed next would forever be remembered by all the Stitchpunks in that Library. Someone was in very serious trouble indeed, because 1 just erupted.

"WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!?! WHOS IDEAL OF A JOKE IS THIS?!?! I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!!!"

1s face had been messed up just like 7s, but it was different. Above his eyes was something Light Pink. On top of them was something Purple. Around his eyes just like 7s was something Black. On his cheeks was something Hot Pink. On his lips was something Bright Red. He looked like a Clown or something else! He also thought back to the Fashion Magazine the Twins showed them all that one time, and he just made comments about Humans and their Dumb ideals. But now that it happened to him, he could understand why they did it. To make fun of others! And this someone, or someones were going to pay and PAY DEARLY! His first thought was the Twins, but he was going to ask them first.

Scrambling out of the bed, he quickly fixed up his Belt Buckles, put on his Cape, and then his Hat. At last he grabbed his Staff, and then he went over to 2 who was trying to get up off the floor. He was so mad that he just grabbed him and hauled him to his feet. 2 gave out a yelp, and that's when 1 remembered who it was. Feeling a bit guilty, he apologized the best he could to him.

"Sorry 2, but I want who ever did this! And I want them badly!"

2 finally looked at him, still trying not to laugh, and that's when 1 saw His Lovers face to for the first time since they woke up. He smiled evilly at him, (Think of the look he gave to 9 in the Movie. XD) and 2 got scared for a second. He just motioned his head to the Mirror, and that's when he understood him. He rushed over to it and just groaned. That's what he got for laughing.

2 had been gotten as well. His eyebrows were made to look thicker with something Black. Then above his Optics was something Black there to make it look like he had eyebrows there to. Lastly someone had put something above his lips to make it look like he had what the Humans called a Mustache. (XDD Think of those pairs of glasses you buy in stores with the eyebrows, nose, and mustache! God I am having a blast with this Chapter!) A bit upset himself now, he went over to the Bed and picked up his Hat (He made a new one after they were brought back to life. Yes, like the in the Movie.) and Cane, then after putting his Vest back on and fixing it, he was ready to go with 1. But before they could make it to the door, 8 busted in the Room with a look of worry on his face. He began to ask 1 questions, but they quickly died off.

"Boss! What happened! What-"

He put one of his hands up to his mouth trying in vain not to laugh at the both of them, but he was failing. 1 just glared at him, realizing that 8 had once again fallen asleep on Guard Duty. He crossed his hands and looked at him with a stern glare.

"I see you feel asleep once more on Guard Duty! 8!! If you were awake, none of this would have happened! And before you laugh at us, go over there and look at your own-self!"

8, realizing something was up, walked quickly over to the Mirror in the Room, and the smile disappeared from his face entirely. Okay, someone was really going to pay now. He had been got to, in a disgraceful manner just like his Boss and Lover. Someone had used something Black around his eyes making it look like he had to big, fat, Black Eyes. Oh yes. Someone was going to get a pounding from 8. Making him mad is the last thing you ever want to do, epically First Thing In The Morning!

1 just growled out again and quickly went out the Door, 2 following him and 8 not far behind. Once they hit the Elevator and started going down, as soon as they would hit the bottom floor, everyone would be going Nuts then and it would be sheer Madness.

"All I know is it was one of you four, or more, and I want to know who! It couldn't have been 6, because I know he would never do this, THIS, to me!!"

3, 4, 5, and 9 were still trying hard not to laugh, but before they could answer, the Elevator came to a stop on the Bottom Floor of the Library and they all turned to look. The first thing 1 saw when he got off of it was 7, and they both just gaped at one another.

"Talk about Role Reversal! What in the World!?"

"That's what I want to know!! I woke up like this and I can see you did to! What is going on here?!"

3, 4, 5, even 6 now, and 9 all busted out laughing once more. 7 just glared at them and pointed her Weapon towards the four.

"Since they weren't pranked, I think it was one, or more of these four! 6 was with me the whole night sleeping! I was in his Room in fact!"

1 glared at the four Stitchpunks who were still trying to hid their laughter, then he looked back at 7.

"And your sure 6 was with you the whole night?! You were asleep so soundly look at what happened to you girl! What if he did this to cover up his tracks?!"

7 upset now that 1 could even accuse him of doing it to her, and 6 who was now cowering behind her, just yelled right back at him.

"How could you even say that 1?! Look at him!" She made a quick motion with her head behind her. "Hes to scared of doing this and he knows what would happen! But the same goes for those four so it's hard to tell who did this mess and if it was more than one of them to!"

1 glared back at her, then to 3, 4, 5, and 9. They were all hiding behind 9 for protection, and he just growled.

"Fine! Lets do this then! You take 3 and 4 since you know them so well, and I'll take 5 and 9 with me to figure out who did th9is mess! I don't think it's funny one bit and I want answers dammit!"

With those words, 8 made his move to go behind 9, but 9 held up his Light Staff as to stop him. 8 stopped and glared at him. It was then that things went from bad to worse. 3 and 4 decided to make a break for it the moment 8 began to walk towards them. 9 watched as they sped past him with quick speed and headed for the back of the Stair Case. 7 just chased after them with lighting quick moves hollering out as she went.

"Oh no you two don't! Your not about to run away from this if you did it! If you didn't, then don't be scared of 8!!"

As this was going on, both 5 and 9 rushed up the Stairs, completely forgetting about the Elevator. 1 just growled out and headed back up it with 2 and 8. Everything was going to change soon though. The moment 5 and 9 got to the Top of the Stairs, they tripped something. Looking down, they realized it was a wire. Before they could even move, something was dumped on the two. Alarmed, they both cried out just as 1, 2, and 8 got off the Elevator. No one seemed to move at first. It was 9 that did and he looked at the Black stuff. After taking another look, to his horror, he realized what it was.

"Ink!! Who did this?! We didn't plan this!!"

It was those words that doomed the two right there and made 1 explode. 2 had to hold up on of his arms to tell 8 to hold off for now as he was also staring at not 9, but 5 with a look of both sadness and madness. He was both sand and mad that his own Student did this to them.

"I KNEW IT HAD TO BE YOU 9!! ALWAYS TESTING MY AUTHORITY AND PATIENCE!! WHY?!?! THIS TIME YOU WENT TO FAR AND I WILL PUNISH YOU MYSELF!!"

9, realizing his mistake to late, did the only thing he could think of. He grabbed his Lovers Arm and broke off running as fast as he could go to the Watch Tower. He could hear the other three running after them, but he knew he would make it a bit, but not by much there before them. As soon as he reached the Spot, he didn't think twice as he jumped up on the nearby Roof and began to run up it with 5 still trying to keep up with him.

Once 1, 2, and 8 reached it and saw what they were doing, he growled out.

"They can run for now, but they can't hide up there forever! YOU HEAR ME 9!! YOU HAVE TO COME DOWN SOMETIME!!"

And with that, he just leaned up against the Telescope a bit watching them go. 2 walked over to him and looked up as well and sighed. 8 on the other hand was looking pissed off to himself, but he knew they had to come down sometime. That's when the fun would begin.

Meanwhile, 7 had already caught 3 and 4 before all this happened, and she had then in 6s Room. She was standing infront of them while 6 was at the Door. Unlike 5 and 9, they didn't get away. They couldn't. After all, who could outrun 7? None of them that's for sure. She was glaring at them, and they both looked up at her fearfully.

"I want the truth! Did you two do this?! And don't lie to me!"

They both looked at each other, and what they did next was going to hurt them a lot more than it hurt 7. They just both gave out silent sighs, then got up and made flickering noises to 7. Understanding that they wanted her to follow them, she moved a bit to let them by. As they began to walk, 7 and 6 close behind them, they were going to the Book Room in the Library. They broke off in a quick run, and opened up the Door, then went inside. 7 just growling, grabbed 6s arm just like 9 had done with 5, and ran after them. HUGE MISTAKE on her part.

Once inside the Library, the Twins were no were to be seen. She growled out, and began to walk forward, but that's when it happened. To their surprise, the floor gave out underneath them, and they feel down a hole. They landed on a pillow at the bottom, but when they looked up, they could see by their size it was made about 15 feet from the Top. Not to deep by Human size, but huge for Stitchpunks. 7 just lost it then.

3!!! 4!!! NOT FUNNY!! YOUR GOING TO GET IT NOW ONCE WE GET OUT!!"

Alarmed, the Twins looked from each other in total fear now and 7, from below could hear them coming from...The desk in the Corner?! She was still looking up along with 6 when they peered into the Hole and looked down at them. She could see true fear on their faces, and that's what alarmed her right there. They both began to frantically flash at the two of them, 7 understanding them, but she became more enraged when they slipped up just like 5 and 9 had. First it was 3 then 4 that were talking to her, then both at once and sometimes to themselves.

"We didn't do this 7!"

"We didn't plan out this part! We don't know who did!"

"Were sorry, but we'll find someway to get you two out of there and some help!"

"How did this happen 4?! We didn't plan this part!"

"I don't know 3, but we got to help them!"

But how Brother?! How-" It was then that they were cut off by 7 roaring now.

"I KNEW IT!! OF ALL THE STUPID THINGS YOU TWO COULD HAVE PULLED!! I KNEW YOU TWO HAD A PART IN THIS!! ONLY YOU TWO COULD GET THIS CLOSE TO ME AND I NOT KNOW IT!! JUST YOU TWO WAIT!! WHERN I GET OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU BOTH!! YOU HEAR ME!!!"

6 was already cowering behind 7, and 3 and 4, realizing their mistake to late, both made a run for it out of there. What a fun and messy day this turned out to be indeed.

(XDDDD I truly enjoyed doing this Chapter, and I hope everyone here enjoys it to! Please give me your thoughts people! And if you don't understand some things, don't worry! LMAO Next Chapter will tie up this one and other things will happen to! *Hugs to you all*)
