Test Scene

It was a beautiful warm summer day as Xavier’s not that Rufus was allowed to do outside till he had finished all of his punishment chores for the day. It was part punishment part trying to keep him out of trouble for a while though the second part wasn’t always successful like today for instance.

He had set up a classic with a bucket of water balanced on top of a door in the room he was currently cleaning. Sure he had finished cleaning it a while ago but he wanted to be there when someone for fell it.

Cait was on her way to the kitchen. It was warm (though the others said hot) and Cait wanted a nice cold drink. Hopefully there was still some iced tea left. On hot days cold beverages went quickly. She opened the door and was immediately soaked.

Thankfully Cait didn't mind being wet. It was preferable to being dirty. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted the perp. Rufus.

An evil grin appeared on her face and all of the water on her and the floor went flying across the room toward him.

	Well that had not gone according to plan, at all. All the water that had been in the bucket hit him and soaked him. All well at least Rufus could take it as well as he dished it. “I guess I’ll have to be more creative next time with what I put in the bucket,” Rufus said a little bit disappointed and dripping wet, “But I’ll get you back for this.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Get me back? You deserve to have a prank backfire on you," Cait said as she went to cabinet for a glass. She could pull the water off of him and the floor, but where was the fun in that? Little brothers needed to be tormented. "You better clean this up before Uncle Scott comes in. You'll have more chores to do." Oh yes there was a smirk on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“But I already cleaned here and if you hadn’t made my prank backfire I’d be done here,” Rufus complained. Oh he was definitely going to get back at his sister for this. How dare she make him clean this part again. Besides it was a little brother’s job to annoy his older siblings and planning out new pranks was a lot of fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should have thought of the mess before you decided to play the prank," she said as she opened the fridge. "You never think things through." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Thinking things through is boring,” Rufus said, “Beside how was I to know that the only person who could make it backfire like this was going to be the one to trigger it.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should have thought of something that couldn't be turned back against you," Cait said as she poured a drink. "How are you doing in your classes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Thanks for the advice. That’s what I will do next time,” Rufus said stating to cheer up. “I think I’ve been doing pretty good in classes. Though teachers keep telling me that I need to pay attention more.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“That’s what Uncle Scott thought too. But I’ve actually just started learning how to be more creative and how to use distractions,” Rufus said. “Also I think I’m this close to getting Ellie to start helping me,” Rufus said showing is pointer finger close to his thumb.

	"Rufus...please for once try to stay out of trouble. Give Uncle Scott and the rest of the adults a break for a few days. If you're bad enough they /will/ send you back to Nova Roma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“OK I’ll try,” Rufus said, “But to be honest I think they might be more worried if I stop.” He really did like it here and being sent back home was definitely not something he wanted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Try. I know you can't stop, but ease back a bit. That's all that I'm asking. Mom and Dad won't be happy if you get booted out of Xavier's and if you're lucky they won't send you to stay with Grandpa William." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fireball 2010-07-12 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	“Yes Cait, I will,” Rufus said. He really did not like the thought of being sent to stay with Grandpa William. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I really am learning a lot,” Rufus said the grin returning to his face, “Like how to make popcorn using my powers.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good," Cait said with a smile. "I want you to do well and be the best you can be. If you need any help with practice, I will help you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fireball 2010-07-12 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	“Thanks Cait,” Rufus says smiling, “It would be great to have some help. Though Uncle Scott doesn’t seem to appreciate it when I practice in the house.” Though part of that could be that he doesn’t like Rufus playing with fire in the house but he leaves that out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can practice down by the lake," Cait said. "Remember what I said about trying to be better behaved. I've got to go. Aaron's waiting for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I will,” Rufus said as he started cleaning himself up and the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)
