Ice: Here is part 3 in the prank war between Valon and Alister. I still don't own anything.

The next day, everyone was content and half-asleep. Valon was tired from trying to scrub the pink out of his hair. Random highlights still remained in various spots. Alister was sore from laughing non-stop at the brunette as he repeatedly dunked his head in the sink.

Raphael was in good spirits, although he was also tired from laughing. It always provided him with humor unless they were fighting. Harmless pranks were always welcome. Now that he knew the secret to get them to stop fighting, it opened their chances of pulling pranks. They only seemed to fight if he was around and by walking off, they got bored.

"I can't stay awake today-", yawned Alister.

"Me neither. I'm wore out from trying to wash my hair thanks to someone...", growled Valon.

"You're quite welcome for the new look. Would you rather I burn it off?"

"I'd rather you not touch it."

"But I didn't, not technically anyway."

"I hate you."

"I love you."

"I really hate you."

"No, you don't."

"Drop dead."

"Thought I did a long time ago."

"Obviously didn't work."

"Nope. Forget you, I'm going to wake myself up."

"How?"

"Same way I always do. A shower, duh."

"Have at it."

Once Alister wandered off, Valon ran to his room. Digging through the mess, he find a large toy spider left over from Halloween. He waited for Alister to get in the shower. Hearing the door close, he waited by the door. Once he heard the water run, he waited an extra five minutes.

Feeling brave, he quietly opened the door and snuck in. Grinning like a madman, he slipped it into the shower and tried to get out as fast as he could. He never got out in time.

"What's this... Oh hell! Gah! Valon, I'm gonna kick your ass! Get back here!" Alister screamed as he snatched the nearest towel and raced after Valon.

"Oh dear mother of God! Someone save me!" screeched the brunette.

"You brought it on yourself. Have fun", called Raphael as Valon ran around him.

"Stop running!" yelled Alister.

"What are you going to do to me?" Valon called back.

"Nothing!"

"Then why are you chasing me?"

"Stop and you'll find out!"

Running to the door like usual, he opened it. No one stood in his way. He ran outside with Alister close behind. As he ran around the gate, he bumped into Joey. Alister caught up to Valon and tried to choke him. Joey stood dumbfounded.

"Um... I was just dropping off Raphael's cookbook... I'll just let you take it to him when you finish strangling him", mumbled Joey as he set the book down and ran across the street.

"Well, that was a shock. Guess I should go back in...", grinned Alister as he walked back to the house.

"I guess I should too... Wait a minute," Valon called as he heard the door lock, "Hey! You can't leave me out here! Raph! Al! Let me in... Please!"

In the house,

"Where is Val?" wondered Raphael.

"I don't know. Said he was going somewhere when he ran down the street."

"Oh. He'll be back later I guess."

"Yep."

Outside, Valon curled up at the front door as it started to rain. He started whining.

"Someone please let me in. Please... Raph, I'll be nice to Al. Just let me in!"

"Hey, Alister! Did you hear that?", asked Raphael.

"Nope. Nothing."

"Is someone outside?"

"Not when I came in."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure I'm sure."

"I'm going to check just in case."

"Ok."

Raphael was skeptical of Alister. Why would Valon run off somewhere at four o'clock? He opened the door to the sight of Valon laying in front of the door whimpering.

"I hate him. I'm gonna kill Al for this...", muttered Valon.

"Hmph. Alister! You've got some explaining to do!"

"What? He shouldn't have forgotten his keys when he left", complained Alister as he walked in.
