It is Friday afternoon, Kyle and Casey have just finished from school and they are eager to get home to set their plan into action for Heath's 'date' night with Bianca.
After unpacking their belongings, Casey and Kyle quickly retreat to their bedroom.
Heath, who'd already showered and spruced himself up hours before, is waiting at Brax's house to keep an eye on his brothers while Brax is still at work.
Heath notices the dining table when he first comes in; it is set with plates, wine glasses, napkins, and cutlery and Heath makes a mental note to thank Brax again later for setting this up.
He is anxiously waiting for Bianca and begins eagerly pacing back and forth, making sure several times that his breath is fresh and that he's applied enough deodorant.
As hesitant as Heath still was to have a romantic night with Bianca within the presence of his annoying younger brothers, he is thankful for the offer as Brax did have a bigger dining table where-as Heath only had a breakfast nook in the flat, which was hardly an ideal table for a romantic dinner, and a night at the restaurant was out because Brax had a booking for the whole restaurant for a wedding reception.
Brax did assure him that he would keep an eye on Kyle and Casey.
Heath sighs and rubs his hands nervously together, hoping that his dinner date is going to work out smoothly.
Meanwhile, Casey is sorting out the gags on his bed that he and Kyle are going to use to get back at Heath and embarrass him with Bianca.
"So, here's the plan: because no-one will suspect you, you can distract Heath, Bianca, and Brax while I set the jokes in place. I'm not going to do everything at once, because I really want to get Heath back!" Casey says with a snicker.
As much as Kyle agreed on Heath's payback he is also unsure about it, with his conscience telling him it wasn't right.
Casey shakes out three sachets of laxative powder from the box.
"You're not planning on putting in three; are you, Casey? That's too much! I don't want to hurt Heath!" Kyle pipes up.
Casey rolls his eyes.
"Dude! Seriously? After all the pranks he's done to us, all because we teased him with Bianca; including how he took advantage of how scared you get; it made you have how many sleepless nights from nightmares, and you're worried about him having a little too much laxative?" Casey explains.
Kyle frowns, not needing to be reminded of how he spent nights lying awake or screaming and crying.
"Heath deserves this Ky," Casey says as he opens up his bag of loose bugs.
Kyle sighs, "What if they share the food? We could hurt Miss. Scott; I don't want Miss. Scott to get sick as well," Kyle says with concern.
Casey huffs, sometimes he wishes his brother was a bit less of a wimp.
"Heath never shares his food! And it's Bianca Kyle; she's dating our brother. I think we can call her Bianca," Casey claims.
"But he might with her. I just don't think we should risk it!"
"Don't back out on me Kyle. I can't do this alone. Come on; it's all good. Don't you want Heath to pay?" Casey assures.
"I guess, but what about him threatening us with a wedgie?" Kyle mutters.
Casey rolls his eyes.
"He's not going to wedgie us again after last time; Brax won't let him, so stop being such a wuss," Casey assures.
Kyle sighs and hopes his little brother is right, because he did not want to feel another one of Heath's wedgies.
"Now are you all set? Bianca should be here soon, and I only have a few minutes to get everything in place before Brax comes home," Casey informs, placing the bugs, condom, and laxatives in his pocket ready.
The time reaches five-forty-five, and Heath peeks out the window for what seemed like the fifth time in the course of a few minutes.
He sees Bianca's red Mazda 2 pull into the dual driveway.
Clearing his throat and giving himself one more whiff, Heath opens the door and makes his way down the path to meet his girlfriend.
Kyle and Casey hear the front door open and Casey peeks out of the room.
"Now's your chance Kyle," Casey says, waving Kyle over.
Kyle sighs heavily and follows Casey out of the room.
"What if I stuff it up? What am I meant to say?" Kyle says with worry.
"Just talk to her about all your favourite nerdy books or something. Tell her how you love that Moby Whale as much as the spy series and that hunting treasure one. I'm sure she's at least read some of those," Casey replies.
Kyle rolls his eyes.
"It's Moby Dick, Casey and the other two are Alex Rider and Treasure Island," Kyle corrects.
"Hehe, you said dick," Casey giggles.
Kyle shakes his head at his little brother's immaturity.
"Go on before they come in," Casey instructs and gives Kyle a light shove.
Kyle runs into the front yard and sees Heath greeting Bianca.
"Hey Babe; you're looking stunning as ever," Heath compliments.
Bianca smiles and kisses Heath.
"And you're as charming as ever, Heath Braxton."
Kyle approaches the two.
"Hey Miss. Scott, how are you?" Kyle asks nervously, he hopes that Casey hurries up because he can't distract Bianca for long.
"Hi Kyle, I'm good thank you and please call me Bianca when we are out of school," she says and smiles sweetly.
"How's PE going?" Bianca asks.
She knows that Kyle struggles a lot in PE, and she hopes that he improves as he's such a bright kid and believes he will go so far in life.
Kyle's face drops and he drops his shoulders.
"It's okay, I make a fool of myself a bit, but I think I'm passing," Kyle replies as he shoves his hands in his pockets.
"PE is optional in year eleven, right?' Kyle asks as he really doesn't want to do PE again; it is by far and beyond his weakest subject.
This causes Heath and Bianca to laugh slightly and Heath reaches over and ruffles his little brother's hair.
"Yes Kyle, have you thought at all what subject you might pick up instead?"
"Business studies. I want to learn how to run a business one day like Brax," Kyle says and blushes slightly; he has never told anyone that before.
"Awww Kyle, that's so sweet that you look up to Brax like that!" Bianca says as she grabs a hold of Heath's arm.
"Isn't he just the cutest?" she asks.
This only makes Kyle blush more. The last thing he needs is Heath teasing him for how cute he is.
"Oh yeah, he's adorable. Hey, you wanna see cute? I have photos of him in his high-chair, covered in food. Now that's an adorable photo. It's in my flat, come I'll show you," Heath grins, ready to embarrass his little brother.
Kyle breaths lightly; this is good; well kind of good. He didn't want Heath to tease him, but he did want Heath distracted enough not to walk in on Casey who is still busy in the kitchen.
He peers down at his watch as sees that it's five-fifty; Brax is meant to be home at about six with dinner for everyone.
Bianca and Heath were going to be having fresh pasta and Brax, Kyle, and Casey were going to have pizza.
Kyle quickly runs after them and follows them into the flat.
"Here is one with my two baby brothers in the bath: that little chubby one there is Kylie! He thinned out as he got older and got skinny; didn't ya, Bubs?" Heath laughs and Bianca giggles beside him; it is an adorable photo.
Kyle blushes. This dinner prank that Casey was setting up had better be worth all this embarrassment; his Principal is looking at his baby photos.
"Here is one on their first day of school," Heath smiles as he pulls out a photo of Kyle and Casey outside Summer Bay Primary.
Kyle peers at the photo, he and Casey look so small.
"Wow! Look at them, they look adorable!" Bianca says as she smiles down at the picture.
"Here's a cute one, it's of me holding Kyle when he was just two years old," Heath smiles widely as he hands the photo to Bianca.
"Kyle used to dote on me, he would always come to me, get me to read to him and change him. He was always a bad crier, and I was the one that was the best at getting him to stop," Heath says and pulls Kyle into a soft headlock hug.
"I used to love it. It was like having my own little mini me. Casey would only want Brax, so I loved having Kyle around as he didn't want Brax, he wanted me," Heath smiles as he ruffles his little brother's hair.
"You two look adorable!" Bianca awes and holds the photo to her chest.
"You really are a little cutie," Bianca says to Kyle and pats his cheek.
Kyle smiles at Bianca but blushes slightly, he really likes her but it's just a little different being called cute by his Principal.
"Yep, he adored me, and I adored him, he's always been a great little brother," Heath praises, still holding Kyle in the slight hug.
Kyle suddenly feels so guilty, he loves hearing Heath talk like this, but it also makes him feel really bad that he and Casey are about to mess up his and Bianca's date.
Just then there's a knock at the door.
"Hey: here's dinner," Brax announces.
"Hey Brax, come and look at this photo, it's adorable!" Bianca calls.
Sometimes it is hard to believe that these big tough Braxton boys can be so soft when it comes to their little brothers.
"Sure, I'll just put these in the house," Brax replies and Kyle panics; what if Casey isn't finished? He doesn't want Casey to get busted.
Just then the door to the main house opens and Brax finds Casey sitting on the couch with the TV on.
"Hey Brax, here I'll take those," Casey offers.
"Cheers Case. It's nice to see you're being such a big help. Maybe you could pop the pastas in the oven for me?" Brax praises before walking into the flat.
Casey gives a nod and smiles.
He puts the pizzas down and takes the pastas to the stove.
Casey sees one pasta dish is Creamy pesto and Kale and the other is beef bolognaise.
He knew which is Heath's, and so Casey lifts the ovenproof dish and sprinkles in the three sachets of laxative powder.
Giving it a stir, Casey then closes the dish and puts both in the oven.
"This is so precious Brax," Bianca says as she hands the photo of Kyle and Heath to Brax.
"Yeah; it is. Kyle loved Heath from day one, sometimes he would refuse to eat when I was trying to feed him only to instantly eat when Heath tried," Brax explains, as he places his hand on top of Kyle's head.
"I heard. They've got a pretty special relationship; don't they?" Bianca asks as they look at the two brothers.
They couldn't be any more different. Heath is loud and Kyle is shy and timid. Heath is big and Kyle is lean and small. Heath hates learning and Kyle's a genius, but for some reason they have this really special relationship.
Just then Casey runs out, chewing on a piece of his pizza.
Brax gives him a scowl.
"Couldn't you wait?" he asks.
Casey shrugs.
"You always say eat when it's hot. What are you all looking at?"
Casey glances over and stares horrified, seeing his baby photos.
He gives his brother's a scowl and glares at Kyle; this was not part of the plan.
"Why are you looking at those?" he demands.
"You and Kyle were very cute little boys," Bianca states and smiles at Casey who remains grumpy.
"Those pictures are private," Casey grumbles, feeling embarrassed.
Heath laughs, wanting his turn to tease Casey and pulls out a photo of Casey at four years old.
"This is Casey doing a nudie run when he didn't want a bath and took off on Brax. Boy did we have our hands full with Case; always a bit naughty and energetic; nothing much has changed huh?" Heath turns to say to Casey.
Casey's eyes go wide, and he flushes with embarrassment, while he lets out a heavy groan.
Brax laughs at the photo and pats Casey on the back.
"Okay I think that's enough photos, let's go everyone before dinner is cold, or burnt," Brax clasps his hand on Casey's shoulder and guides the teen back to the main house.
Heath let's Kyle go who then walks back to the house behind Brax and Casey.
"Boys, just this once you can eat dinner in your room. Just stay out of Heath and Bianca's way, okay?" Brax warns as he looks down at his brothers who nod their heads.
Brax smiles and hands them their pizza, before the two teens went off to their room.
Heath and Bianca finally come through the door, after Heath had put away the photo album.
"Dinner's warming in the oven. I'll just grab a beer then I'll get out of your hair. Enjoy your night," Brax says and grabs his own pizza and heads to his bedroom to watch some TV.
Casey and Kyle are in their room. Kyle is about to take a slice of pizza when Casey whacks him around the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Kyle asks, grabbing his head and looking at his brother with a hurt expression.
"Our baby photos! Now Heath will tease us about that while Bianca's here," Casey hisses at his brother. And she saw me naked!" Casey exclaims.
"Casey, you were four."
"Doesn't matter Kyle; she's our Principal, and she saw my naked butt!" Casey grumbles.
"I panicked! You know what I'm like, how about that time that I broke the plate and all Brax had to say was: hi Kyle, for me to crack and tell him what happened?" Kyle says, causing Casey to laugh; this was very true, his brother would never win at poker.
"So, it's all set up?" Kyle asks nervously; he still doesn't think this was a good idea.
"Yep!" Casey grins as he grabs a slice of pizza and takes a bite.
"The condoms are in place; the bugs are in the wine and the laxatives in the food. All we need now is stage two!" Casey states proudly.
He's looking forward to these pranks and teaching Heath to learn not to mess with them.
