Ice: Had some ideas, and going to attempt to run with those. I think they're pretty good, but we'll see.

A day had passed after the laptop incident and the trio could once again be found in the living room. Raphael was enjoying reading the Playboy's he had forced Valon to share. He was still skeptical that he was actually reading it, but if he wasn't, he was making sure it was convincing.

Alister had been lying on the couch whining of a severe headache. It's possible he could have been hit over the head one too many times, but it was hard to tell. He fussed even more whenever told to take anything for it and insisted it wouldn't do any good.

Valon had finally had enough and got up to find something.

"I'm sick of your whining. Let me go find you something and you'll be a lot happier for it," he nagged as he left the room.

"Fine, but I doubt it'll work."

Valon ran off to the bathroom and started searching the cabinets. He knew Alister was just going to fuss even more if he took him regular tylenol and advil. He started digging towards the back and eventually came across some lortabs that had been sitting there since his own wisdom teeth had been taken out. He knew it had some wicked side effects, but it also meant Alister would definitely be quieter after.

He ran back in the room with a glass of water and two lortabs for the redhead. He didn't seem happy, but took them anyway.

"So just what did you give me?" he asked.

"Just some painkillers in the cabinet to make you feel better."

"If you say so…"

Valon went back to sitting in the floor watching tv as Raphael stared at him.

I really don't want to know what he just gave him… Or do I? Nah, I'll leave it alone… Maybe…

Twenty minutes had passed and Alister seemed to be a lot more agreeable about things and was constantly blabbering on about the show on tv.

"Dude! Look at that! Is that not the coolest thing ever? I mean, I've seen awesome, but that is AWESOME!"

"Is… Is he okay?" asked Raphael.

"I guess so…," responded Valon.

"I'm a little worried… Just what did you give him anyway?"

"My old lortabs from my wisdom teeth."

"You gave him what? Oh hell… This is going to be rich… You're going to mess with him aren't you?"

"You know it."

"Okay… I'll pretend I saw nothing so he'll think it's just the drugs…"

"You're a real pal Raph!" said the small boy as he hugged Raphael.

"Well, you two do keep me entertained around here… Guess I can't entirely complain a whole lot."

"YAY!"

At that, Valon took off to his room. He knew he was going to mess with Alister's head badly, but he wasn't sure how he was going to accomplish this. He started looking to find something that could be potentially embarrassing and came across a Hello Kitty stuffed animal in the closet. He remembered how he had reacted when he saw the books.

Perfect, now how do I trip him out even more…?

He started thinking about how to get the plush animal to him. He searched all over and was about to give up until he realized he had the perfect thing hiding under the bed. He reached under there and pulled out a remote controlled car that featured Wolverine from X-Men.

This is going to be so good…

He found some velcro strips lying around and attached them to the car and doll. He test-drove it to make sure the doll stayed in place. When it did and he was satisfied with the performance, he grabbed it and set out to the kitchen.

Alister was still in his happy daze, if not even happier now. Two may have been overdoing it just a little. With luck, he wouldn't entirely remember this. Valon set the car down and drove it in front of the couch.

The seemingly drunk and confused redhead immediately snatched up and began to hug it. He eventually moved on to petting it and talking to it as though it was a live animal.

"OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THIS? YOU'RE SO SOFT AND CUDDLY!"

Raphael just raised his eyes and tried to ignore it.

"YOU'RE SO COOL! I'M GONNA NAME YOU MS. FLUFFY TAIL!"

Valon was rolling on the floor in the kitchen. He never expected it to be this funny, but he definitely nailed it. His sides started to hurt as he continued laughing at the sight of the redhead hugging and squeezing the Hello Kitty stuffed animal. He knew there would be hell to pay for it later and he wasn't sure just how much longer he was going to be in that state.

For several hours, Alister continued to roll around on the couch happily playing with the plushy. He was still clueless of its girlish nature and seemed to be coming down from his happiness on the painkillers. Valon was still in hysterics on the floor and hadn't notice Alister getting up.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" he screamed as he threw the Hello Kitty plush into the fireplace.

"What? Oh… Shit…," Valon tried to get off the floor.

"What the hell did you give me earlier?"

"Umm… I may or may not have handed you a couple of my leftover lortabs…"

"You prick! Drugging me like that! What is wrong with you?"

"Hey! You stopped your whining, didn't you?" he asked as he backed against the wall expecting the worst.

"Where did that thing come from?"

"You found it. I have no idea where. We just left you out of our sight for a couple minutes when we made lunch. I promise…"

"You have to be lying… I guess it is possible I did find it myself… I just don't trust you…" he trailed off as he sat back on the couch somewhat content that his head was no longer hurting.

Raphael finally got up from his chair doing his best to hide his laughter as he walked into the kitchen. Valon followed along behind him.

"I can't believe he thinks you didn't do all of it… I'm impressed, Val."

"Thanks… Umm… I'm scared… He has to know I did it on purpose and he's going to get me worse next time…"

"Well, yeah, that's how it's pretty much worked with you two."

"Can I pay you to be my bodyguard…?"

"No."

Ice: Yeah… It sounded pretty good in my head and I'm not sure I got it down the way I wanted, but I think it's good enough. Still accepting ideas and thank you Sonar for the toy truck idea! I'm really thinking of the cutoff being 20 so I can do an epic finale or something. I'll probably start up a Prank War 2 at some point after. We'll see.
