I hardly slept last night. I kept thinking about how Brian would react and also knowing that I had to be there when he woke up. I decided to let him sleep until 10:30. That is very nice of me. I should have woken his ass up at 8:30 when I first got up. Around 10 I decided it was time to start getting ready to watch this prank unfold. I climbed out of bed, careful not to wake Adam.

Just as I was about to walk out of the room, Adam awoke. "Tommy, baby, where are you going?"

"I'm going to watch my prank unfold. Care to join me?" I decided I might as well let him see it first hand, rather than hear it later. Might make my punishment, if there will be, less severe. I'm still banking on this following the rules since we don't have anything public for four days.

"Yeah, Tommy. I can't wait to see what this is. Give me five minutes." I couldn't tell if he was more interested in the prank or in the secret…

Five minutes later, Adam was ready and we were heading down the hall to Brian's room. Let me just add that five minutes is the fastest time I've ever see him get ready. I guess since it was within the hotel and only a few rooms down the hall; but even then, he usually takes longer, just in case we run into anyone, fans, staff, or other guests.

We arrived at Brian's door, and the fun began!

Brian's POV:

Knock knock* I awoke to a very loud pounding at my door and yelling.

"Brian… Brian wake up… We're going to be late… come open the door so I can help you pack..." Tommy yelled.

Oh shit. I was screwed. I jumped out of bed and ran over to throw open the door. What I did not expect was for Adam to start laughing. What the hell was he laughing for?

"Umm, Brian…" Adam stuttered, "You might want to go look in the mirror."

I entered the bathroom, vaguely aware that Adam and Tommy followed me, and looked towards the mirror. I was not expecting this at all. "TOMMY JOE RATLIFF. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU…" To say I was beyond furious was clearly an understatement.

"Relax Brian… or should I start calling you Freddie now?" Tommy joked.

"Tommy, if this does not come off my face, you will wish you were dead..."

"Well, kill me now Brian because you're stuck with it for a good three days"

The Adam jumped in. "Three days Tommy?"

*Back to Tommy's POV

Aw shit. He looked pissed. Nervously I glanced up at him. "Umm, yea… 3 days."

"Tommy, I fail to see how this follows the rules. Let's go." He ordered sternly. "Brian, try to clean it off. I will go research ways for it to come off quicker, okay?" As he pushed me towards the door, hand entangled in my hair.

"Um yea, thanks Adam." He muttered.

We entered the room, Adam still pulling my hair. (Usually I loved that, but being in trouble make it lose all of its pleasure.) He dragged me over toward the bed. "Sit." That's all he said. I knew something was wrong.

"Adam, please let me explain…"

"No talking, just sit there," He was furious.

"Please, it follows the rules. I promise it does" I knew I was digging the hole deeper for myself but I had to explain.

He rushed over grabbing my hair again, pulling back to force me to look at him, anger shining through in his actions. "One more word Tommy…" The he finally seemed to realize what he was doing. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry Tommy. I need to go calm down. I love you so much baby and I don't want to hurt you. Why don't you go take a shower or lay down for a bit while I relax, okay? I'm just going to go for a quick run. I will be back soon." He gave me a quick kiss and was out the door.

I decided to take a hot shower to help me relax. While in there I knew I had to come up with a way to explain this prank without making myself into more trouble but also try to make myself be in no trouble at all. I know that if the paint lasts more than four days, it would be breaking the rules since we have another show, but if not, then it's within the privacy of the hotel and bus so I couldn't be in trouble for that.

*30 minutes later

I was getting dressed when I heard the door open and close, Adam was back.

"Tommy, baby, where are you."

"I'm in the bathroom getting dressed. I'll be out in a minute." I was already dressed but I needed that minute to get my thoughts together. Finally I left the bathroom and saw Adam sitting on the couch. I went over and sat next to him.

"Tommy, first I want to apologize for losing my control earlier. I seriously could have hurt you and I feel terrible." I could see the pained look clearly plastered on his face.

"Babyboy, it's okay. I forgive you. You got it under control and didn't hurt me too badly. All you did was pull my hair a bit, so it's alright. I still love you."

"Thanks Glitters, I needed that." He seemed relieved. "Now, let's talk about this prank."

"Okay, Adam. Can I explain first?" I needed him to hear me out before he started to lecture. He nodded. "Alright, so this prank is harmless and it does follow the rules because we don't have another show for four days and this paint washes off within two to three days so the public won't see it unless he decides to leave the hotel or bus. Then that's his own fault for going out."

"So you force him to stay locked inside for three days? I don't see how that's part of the prank. I think you were too concerned with the prank that you didn't realize its consequences towards Brian. I think that the paint is clearly one thing but him being trapped inside is another, which I think breaks the rules. It's no longer a simple prank, but rather a way to keep him trapped so that he can't get back at you…" I wanted to protest. That was never my intention. "Now I know you didn't mean for the second part of this prank to happen, but it still did." Damn mind reader. I swear he knows me way too well. "Here is what we are going to do. I think you deserve punishment for the latter part of the prank. Lack of foresight is exactly where I was talking about after the last fight on stage. I am willing to hold off and discuss the first park of the prank after three days. If the paint is gone and everything is back to normal fr the concert, great. I will forget about it. But if not, you will regret this prank and I will be calling an official end to this prank war. Understand?"

"Yes, Adam. I get it." Shit. I really hope this paint fades faster than what the instructions say. It could last between 3 days to a week or more depending on how much you applied, and I kind of applied a lot. Oh please, please let this be a 'malfunctioned' kit that only lasts a few days… I need to go research the paint and figure out the fastest way to remove it. That was my mission now. I got up and ran to my computer, rapidly searching up the paint company for answers. I really hope they have a "emergency removal" type page…. Well, here's to a long night of google.

AN: Thanks guys. Please review and send suggestions. Punishment chapter should be up hopefully by this weekend, and chapter 5 very shortly after that.
