"Your sure this is his room?" asked Leonard.
"Positive." said Jim, they were in Finnegan's room. They were messing it up as much as they could, Kirk was in the shower, attaching the pipe to a tank of blue hair dye. Bones was putting itching powder in the beds, and filling the spare shoes in the closet with a substance called VH-4. It was extremely light, A swimming pool of it would weigh only five pounds. It was also clear, until it came into contact with Skin, hair, or fur. Then it's color changed, it was the same stuff Finnegan had thrown at Kirk, only he had added something to it to make it blue. They hadn't told Spock, otherwise he might have reported them.
"You done?" asked Kirk.
"Yup." but the recorder isn't working, so we won't hear their reaction. Let's go before Finnegan or his roommate get back."
"Hey, did you hear what happened to Uhura?" asked Scotty next day in Engineering lab. He and Kirk were in the class together.
"What?"
"Someone rigged her and Christine Chapel's room, They messed with the pipes so the shower spurted blue dye, and put stuff in Christine boots that turned her legs green!"
Uh-oh thought Kirk I'm dead
"I must have told you ten times to make sure it was the right room! But no!" said Bones "Now if Uhura ever finds out-"
"She won't, find out, I promise, Besides, it was an accident! We didn't mean to mess with their room."
"ahem!" Bones and Kirk turned around, Uhura and Christine Chapel were standing there
"You did that!" said Uhura, "I had to go into town, with blue hair to get a bottle of dye! I got I don't how many looks, and the manager at the store asked what planet I was from!"
"And my boots are entirely ruined!" said Christine, "My legs are still green! And I had to throw away my sheets and my pajamas!"
"We're sorry!" said Kirk, "It was an accident, we were trying to pull a prank on this guy named Finnegan and I got the room number wrong!"
"None of it was intentional, really!" added Bones.
"It still happened and you both are still in big trouble." said Uhura.
"Don't report us please!" said Bones.
"We won't on two conditions." said Christine
"Anything you want Ladies." said Jim, smiling, hoping they'd be merciful if he acted charming.
"The report in Alien medical sciences, you have to do Leonard." said Christine. It was a 6000 word report.
"That's against the rules!"
"So going in other people's rooms without permission but you did anyway." said Uhura. "Jim, your paying for the dye I had to buy, Christine's new boots, new Pajamas, and new sheets, plus my Literary arts assignment."
"Alright." said Jim.
"And if this ever happens again-" began Uhura
"It won't, don't worry!" said Jim.
"Good." said both girls and walked away.
"By the way, Finnegan's room is across the hall." said Uhura and walked off.
"So that's why Bones and I have extra assignments." finished Jim.
"I ought to report all four of you." said Spock.
"Haven't we all paid enough?" asked Bones. Spock thought for a moment.
"Yes, you have."
"Great, we didn't get reported, And in two weeks this will all just be a memory." said Jim, "Now, I think I had better get to work on this if I wanna be able to go out tonight." He opened the side table drawer, and a fine grey dust exploded out of it. When it cleared, Jim hair was white, when he tried to brush it out, it didn't go away.
"Finnegan!" he yelled.
"James, you have no proof-" began Spock
"Tell me later, I need a shower."
"And I need a drink." said Bones. "With roommates like you two, it's a wonder I'm not drunk all the time!"
Hell hath no fury like a women pranked. Jim and Bones got off easy!
