Ice: All for chapter 10, say I! Ok... Please don't deafen me... All who oppose, stay quiet. I think the I's have it!

Alister had walked out the door and been on his way to get food when a thought came to him. If Valon had used a snake on him, Alister would use a frog. Valon saw frogs as unnatural freak things. He couldn't stand the fact that it was a tadpole at first and then grew legs. That was just weird to him.

Once Alister had everyone's food, he headed to the park. It took him some time to catch a frog since he only had his bare hands to work with. Once he got it, he tucked it in his jacket pocket and raced home.

When he got home, Raphael met him to help carry in the food. He thought something might have been up when Alister said he'd take care of everything, but he didn't act on his worry. Eh, what's the worst he could do, thought Raphael.

Raphael walked back to the living room and started to wonder where Valon was. He checked his room, but didn't see any signs of him hiding. He knew that Valon couldn't hold out long if food was around and he'd show up sooner or later.

In the hall closet, Valon was debating on whether he should come out to eat or stay hiding. He knew Alister would kill him. True, Raphael would never let him, but one could still worry. He could hear Raphael calling him to dinner. I guess it should be safe if I stay with Raph, he thought.

Alister was fixing everyone's dinner on plates in the kitchen. Once he had everything set, he pulled out the frog and put him in Valon's hamburger. The little frog was in no danger since Valon would more than likely take a small cautious bite and see it. Alister grinned evilly and set out to the living room.

Valon could tell when food was being set out and meekly opened the closet door. He looked both ways before stepping out. Seeing nothing, wandered into the living room. Raphael asked where he had been.

"Oh, just out and about," Valon replied.

"Sure..."

Alister came in right after and set the plates down in front of them. Valon picked up his hamburger and looked at it suspiciously. Alister tried to hold back a grin.

"Are you mad at me?" asked Valon.

"I don't get mad," said Alister as Valon took a bite, "I get even."

Valon looked down at his burger and saw something move. The frog leaped out and landed on Valon's goggles. He flew backwards screaming more girlish than Alister had. Alister busted out laughing as Valon fled the room with the frog still on him.

Raphael couldn't help, but to laugh as the young boy ran around the house. They heard the front door open and close. Valon came back in the living room glaring at Alister.

"Well, you put a snake on me. What were you expecting?", asked Alister.

"...Come here! I'll give you snake!" screeched Valon as he ran towards him.

"Oh bloody hell..."

Alister ran for his life. Valon was hot on his heels. Raphael just sat there amused with the incident. Ahh, life's never dull with those two around, thought Raphael.

Ice: Well, I think it's rather funny. I completed this chapter while on my way to Canada. Bumpy interstates are evil.
