Ice: Getting close to the end. Credit for this chapter goes to KittyKittyHunter for her idea. Thank you! *bows*
Raphael had been keeping an eye out on his surroundings lately. He knew he wasn't safe now that a truce had been made between Alister and Valon. He was constantly wary of what might have changed when he would leave the living room and come back. He tried to be gone no longer than a minute, but with lunch time getting close and his stomach growling, he knew he'd be gone a bit longer than a minute this time.
Alister and Valon hadn't left the redhead's room all morning. They were currently brainstorming on a way to get back at the older blond. They were slowly running out of ideas that ranged from tampering with his favorite foods in some way to carefully ripping out pages of his book and putting them back out of order. Nothing seemed to do the justice they were looking for.
"Just what are we going to do? I'm seriously running out of ideas here," complained Valon.
"I dunno… I'd feel bad if we tore his book up. There has to be something else…" Alister thought.
"Hey… You know how he never hears us when we need him?"
"Yeah… Those earplugs he has…"
"What if we…"
"I know what you're thinking, and I'm impressed. Let's do it."
They high fived and crept out the door to find Raphael. They continued down the hall hugging the wall to see if he was sitting in his favorite chair. He wasn't. Judging by the sounds in the kitchen, they had five minutes to get everything in place before he came back out.
"Did you get them?" Alister asked.
"Yeah. Right here," Valon said as he held up a pair of headphones that looked similar to Raphael's earplugs.
"Good. Go plug them into the tv real quick and I'll grab the earplugs. Let's make sure to set them down exactly where he had them."
"Right."
Valon ran over to the tv keeping an eye out for Raphael. He quickly plugged them in and ran over to Alister. As soon as he picked up the earplugs, Valon slid the headphones right in their place. It looked perfect. They ran back down the hall to discuss the rest of the plan.
"Okay, so when he gets back out and settled before he puts them on, you ask to watch one of your favorite movies with lots of explosions in the beginning. Sound good?" Alister asked before taking off down the hall to find Raphael's video camera.
"Yeah. I already know which one," Valon grinned.
Raphael started to walk out of the kitchen a few minutes later with his sandwich. He looked around nervously until he was sure everything was in its proper place. He sighed in relief and sat down.
Maybe they don't know the video was sent in to that AFV show yet… They had better make me money for being so crazy…
Raphael chuckled to himself as he began to reach for the "earplugs". Just then, Valon came running up to him.
Oh hell… What now?
"Hey! Can I watch a show or something? Please?" he begged with his big brown eyes.
"Yeah, I guess. Go for it. You both act like I'm your mom or something. Geez," he grumbled as he tried to settle in again.
Valon quickly muted the tv to not give it away and put in a dvd of Robot Chicken. He was practically a giggling school girl as he searched for one particular sketch.
What is he doing? We said movie… Oh. Wait. I see what he did there… thought Alister as he watched from the kitchen entrance with a good view to record everything.
Since Raphael was back to ignoring everything in the room with his sandwich, Valon fast forwarded through to the theater sketch. Everything was quiet as some teenagers sat down and some previews were being shown. It was all going smoothly until all of a sudden…
"MICHAEL BAY PRESENTS EEEEEEEEEEEXPLOSIONS!"
Raphael's head jerked up as his sandwich went flying across the room. He slammed back in his chair wondering what was going on. Alister was doing his best to hold the video camera straight as he burst into laughter. Valon tried to look all innocent.
Raphael slammed back into the chair snatching the headphones off. He glared at Valon.
"You little… I've been patient with yours and Alister's shenanigans… And this is how you repay me?" he growled.
"I didn't do it! Alister did it! He made me help!" Valon yelled as he pointed to Alister in the hallway.
"Oh… Shit…" muttered Alister as he had two seconds to hide the camera and it took him three.
"And you filmed this? You both were pissed at me for filming you two and now you do this to me? Oh hell no!"
With that, Raphael took off after both Valon and Alister. They ran for their life, but soon realized they were trapped in the house and Raphael blocked their escape back down the hall. They hugged each other expecting to not see the light of day again.
"Well, you know what? This is okay. No, really, it is," said Raphael looking like he was going to lose his mind with maniacal laughter.
The two boys looked at him frightened.
"It is?" They asked.
"Yeah, because you know what really happened to that tape?"
They shook their heads expecting the worst.
"I sent it in to that AFV show you both seem to love so much. That's right. Everyone is going to see you both for the fools you are. And I do mean, everyone."
They gasped in horror. That meant Yugi and his friends would know just how idiotic they had been and even their boss, Dartz, would know just how bad it had gotten later. They did have their reputations to uphold after all.
"You didn't…" Valon started.
"Oh, I did. So that girl you were so fond of, yeah, she's going to see it too."
"Oh my gods… Why…?"
"That's what happens when you mess with me. I plan for everything."
"So… What are you going to do with us…?" Alister dared asked.
"Nothing. I'm just going to wait for the video to air and bask in your embarrassment. Trust me, it's worth it."
Raphael wandered off back to the living room to attempt to find and salvage the rest of his sandwich. The two younger boys sat on the ground wondering just what they had started. No one would ever look at them the same again.
