You Know This Means War
It was a classic, yet very good, prank. Little brother wouldn't know what was going to hit him. The little twerp deserved it.

The prank had taken some time to put together, many items were needed, and she had to save up enough money to buy the required items. Thankfully they were cheap and she could get quite a few of them. At fifteen had been purchased. Then there was the time she needed to set them all. The hardest part was hiding them. Fifteen alarm clocks, all set to go off at different times, were a lot to hide where they couldn't easily be found.

Once Dirt Boy was out of his room, Cait went to work.

It had been somewhere between the fifth and the sixth that Corey had stopped trying to relax at all between goings-off and had sat alert, fingers steepled.

Finally, the next day, he approaches Cait, slight dark circles under his eyes, eating a carrot.

"Of course you realize," he says between bites. "This means war."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said with a completely straight face as she ate her Froot Loops.

"Mmhmm. Course not. Just making a courtesy call here, sis."

He then went off to borrow Aunt Jean's old sewing kit.

Cait had spent the day in the city at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was one of her favorite places in the city and she went whenever she got the chance. When she returned to Xavier's she returned to her room to change. There was a movie night planned for tonight and Cait wanted to wear her favorite shirt and favorite pair of old jeans.

She pulled the shirt over her head and went to put her arms in the sleeves. Only to find they had been sewn shut.

Oh that little twerp was going to pay for this one. Big time. She yanked another shirt out of the closet and that too had the arms sewn shut. Three shirts later she finally found one that wasn't sewn shut.

Fuming, she yanked open the storage bin, known as the War Chest, and rummaged through it. Payback was a bitch and little brother would find out just how bad it could get.

She pulled a few things out and went to see if he was out of his room.

Corey had been out working on the grounds. He came in and took a shower, and...oh, this was not good.
That was the second time in as many months she'd done the shampoo-dye schtick. Boy, he'd struck such a nerve. He rinsed as quickly as he could. Nevermind the cosmetic trouble, that stuff itched.
At that tought, his mind reflected on the Classics.
Corey examined his bedsheets and started taking all of them off. All his favorite jeans, too. Ultra-laundry load time. Now to just put on some shoes to go down to the laundry room...
Shaving cream. In the toes. Damn.

In all of this, he forgot to remove the tainted shampoo from the bathroom. The one he shared with David.

David had been running in the woods. Something Dad and Misha were okay with him doing since it gave him more exercise and David enjoyed. He was dirty and sweaty from his time in the woods.

He went to shower and change and grabbed Corey's shampoo by mistake. As he was washing his hair he saw the dye. Oh no. HIS HAIR. It's red and blue.

"ARG!" There will be annoyance then planning. He will get them both. First some research to make sure it's harmless. First rule of pranking. Then he would make them pay.

	Cait couldn't help but to laugh when she saw her brother carrying his sheets down to the laundry room. She loved the colored hair too. Retaliation would come and she would be ready. She already had the next prank all thought out. Just one quick trip into Salem Center was needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know that laugh," came a voice from behind (and above) her. "That laugh is trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait turned and looked UP. She smiled. "Have you seen my brother lately? He's sporting a new look." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The benefits of being nearly seven feet tall. Just about everyone looked up to you. (ba-bump-bump) Joe facepalmed. "What did you do this time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing he didn't deserve," she said with a smile. Hey, she was a Drake after all. "No harm done except for a different hair color. We know the rules of pranks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joe fought the urge to laugh. He'd seen some pretty serious prank wars go through these halls over the years. "No property damage, okay? That's all I'm asking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, sir," she said with a salute. "Consider this a head's up. You're one of the few who gets a warning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-07-02 07:11 am UTC (link)
	At that point, he lost the urge and did laugh. "Thanks, kiddo. I'll keep my eyes open." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-07-02 07:13 am UTC (link)
	She gave him A Look. "I'm not a kid and stop calling me one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-07-02 07:25 am UTC (link)
	Not the Look! He wasn't unstoppable against the Look! "Okay, okay," he said. "Point taken." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-07-02 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. It was time to get everyone, especially her father, to start seeing her as an adult. She had graduated and she was already eighteen. It was time to stop being called a kid. Especially from someone only a few years older than she was. "Don't forget it. I may have to dunk you in the lake if you do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aw, c'mon," Joe said. "You know I can't swim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-07-02 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "Exactly. So don't make me mad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-07-02 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Doesn't mean I won't get out. But walking on the lake bottom isn't even half as fun as it sounds," he replied, but it was with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-07-02 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Do you want to test that? You know I can hold you in water." She smiled. "I better get going. Things to plan and movies to watch tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2009-07-02 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	He stuck out his tongue. "Hey, you know my motto," he said, jerking a thumb towards himself. "Can't stop this." He chuckled again and started to head off in the direction he'd been going in the first place. "Go. Plan evil things. Have fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-07-02 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	She stuck out her tongue in return. "I can try!" "See you later!" she said with a smile. When she walked off there was a bounce in her step. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	A quick trip to the pet store in Salem Center provided the means for the next prank. The crickets were let loose in Corey's room. There. Let him deal with crickets chirping all night long. (Reply to this)
