Chapter 15: The Prankster Duo

It had only been 3 or so weeks since Karrie took the trial of courage and now, it was rumored that Keith, the school wide famous prankster, had a partner in crime. But who was it? Rythmi and Kate knew but they weren't about to reveal the name of the his partner in crime.

It had started when they all heard Mr. Kincaid screech like a little girl because someone had switch his hairspray with Pokemon Attraction Spray. Then one day he barged in to yell and accuse Keith of switching his hairspray with hot pink spray paint bottles. Keith got away with it but only because Karrie came up with a perfect alibi for him, he was with her and Kate at Ascension Square. The pranks went on and on, so many in so little time that students wondered how Keith could manage doing so many pranks. Then there was one prank that provided an answer.

Mr. Kincaid got a large present that was left on his desk. Inside the present was a Skunktank. He reeked for a week. The only clue they had to who did it was:

From: The Prankster Duo

It was typed so handwriting could not be matched. It was official among the students, Keith had a partner in crime. Some suspected Kate. Others suspected Ponte. Some of Keith's crazed fans suspected Karrie.

"Keith, we all know you are part of 'The Prankster Duo,' but who is the other?" asked a male student.

"Now that's something for me to know and you to never find out," replied Keith.

"Aw come on Keith! Tell us! We won't tell! Promise!" begged some of his fans. Karrie rolled her eyes.

"Sorry girls," replied Keith with a huge grin.

"We love you Keith! Please tell us!" begged some of his fans. Karrie got up and left.

"Now I'm definitely not going to tell you," replied Keith. "I'm going to leave now."

"No! Don't leave us Keith!" begged the girls. Keith almost had to run out of the class room to escape their clutches. Keith went upstairs and found Rythmi and Kate waiting for him.

"Hi," said Keith.

"I can't believe you and Karrie are doing this," said Kate.

"I'm not going to let us get caught." replied Keith.

"Still, can't you find something else to do with your girlfriend other than pull pranks?" asked Rythmi.

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRL FRIEND!" yelled Keith as he turned bright red.

"But we all know you wish she was," teased Kate.

"Do not!" protested Keith.

"You so do," teased Rythmi.

"DO NOT!" protested Keith.

"Where's Karrie anyways?" asked Kate.

"She left the classroom shortly before I did. I thought she would be with you two," replied Keith. The girls stared at each other for a few moments.

"Then where would she be?" asked Kate finally.

"I'll check right side of the school yard." replied Keith, he had a feeling he knew where she was.

"I'll check the inside of the school," offered Rythmi.

"Then I'll check the left side of the school yard." replied Kate. The three parted ways in search of Karrie.

Rythmi checked the girls' dorm, no Karrie. She checked the cafeteria, no Karrie. She checked the library, no Karrie.

"What's wrong Rythmi?" asked Isaac.

"I'm trying to find Karrie." replied Rythmi.

"I'll help," said Isaac.

"But doesn't she still hide whenever you're around?" asked Rythmi.

"Yeah, but why does she do that?" asked Isaac.

"You did get up close to her face that one encounter in the library," replied Rythmi.

"I remember that, I didn't mean to scare her or creep her out. Her hair hurts." replied Isaac as he rubbed his cheek. Rythmi laughed. Isaac had tried asking her a bunch of questions concerning her conquests in Fiorre and had gotten a little too close for Karrie's comfort. Karrie accidently knocked her pen of the table and went to grab it quickly, jerking her head so fast that her long braid whacked Isaac in the face hard enough to leave a mark. "I've noticed that she normally hides behind Keith though."

"You see it too?" asked Rythmi.

"That she seems to feel safe around Keith, then yes," replied Isaac.

"I wouldn't be surprised if those two end up being a couple." said Rythmi.

"Who does Kate like?" asked Isaac suddenly.

"Some one from Fiorre that's an old friend of her's." replied Rythmi.

~with~Keith~

Keith had this feeling that he knew just where to look for Karrie. Call it a gut feeling. He went Ascension Square. There was Karrie, sitting on the edge of the platform of the Pledge Stone. He walked over to Karrie and sat next to her.

"Hey, why didn't you go up to the dorms?" asked Keith.

"I wanted to be alone."replied Karrie.

"Is it because of 'The Prankster Duo'?" asked Keith.

"No." replied Karrie.

"Did Ryth say something to embarrass you?" asked Keith.

"No." replied Karrie.

"Did Isaac creep up on you again?" asked Keith.

"No." replied Karrie.

"Then what's bothering you?" asked Keith.

"Your fan girls." replied Karrie.

"Why?" asked Keith. "What did they do?"

"I guess I'm just being silly," replied Karrie as she went to get up.

"Wait Karrie," said Keith. "I don't like any of my fan girls." Karrie smiled slightly.

"Come on," said Karrie. "I'm sure Kate and Rythmi are worried." And then together The Prankster Duo walked back to the school building.
