Intro for Lori

Finally, a lazy day. A day where there were no expectations, no plans, and no deadlines. Clint couldn't really remember when he and Chase had a day to just chill. They both were busy with Wyatt and Max, respectively, and classes to top it all off - so it was now pretty rare to be able to just laze around their dorm and play video games till their eyes hurt. He was embracing the chill, completely. Being with Wyatt was awesome, really, it was everything he wanted and more - but some time to himself was definitely overdue.

When even was the last 'brotime'? Too long ago, probably. Yeah, they were able to sort of hang out before crashing for the night, but that was usually just spent watching The Simpsons or whatever Chase had on. Sometimes running around with Wyatt got Clint so exhausted that he'd almost fall asleep brushing his teeth!

But today was all about taking it easy. Clint was still in his pajamas, sipping some orange juice and watching Chase play some classic Mario Kart. This was the life. "Whoa dude! That was close," he commented with a laugh, readjusting his posture and leaning forward in suspense as he watched Chase's character get narrowly missed. "GO GO GO!" Clint cheered on as his bro got closer and closer to being first place.

Today shouldn't be much different from any other day. Mario Kart was being played. Chase chilling in jeans and a t-shirt, typically with a funny saying. There was chocolate around in a bowl for easy energy. But the funny thing was, today was different. It felt like the first time in a while that Chase actually got to have a day like this with his bro.

Neither of them were to blame, really. Being an art major was no joke, and especially with him needing to catch up on the required classes to graduate on time, Chase was kind of forced into dealing with his school and homework. Then, based on how long all that took, he'd have to see when he'd get to see Max at all, even for a quick dinner because of her schedule and work and dancing and being around that guy - Chase still believed he should do something about that, by the way. You'd think that he'd still have time to see Clint when they were both in the dorm and get to do some things together still. Except that wasn't the case so much since Clint started being around Wyatt more. It wasn't a bad thing, at least not for Clint. But between the two of them and all the stuff that was going on, their brotime was severely lacking. It really was the first day in a while that he bros could just kick back and do something together.

Also it was kind of ironic and funny that Chase was the one dressed and Clint was in his pajamas. Chase probably had his early morning meeting with his advisor to thank for that.

Chase laughed at the screen as his racer was just barely able to miss one of the mushrooms that had been aimed at him. He was racing against some other players over the internet, fortunately not on Rainbow Road. Even Chase still had his demons to pick with that track. "He's gotta do better than that right man?" Chase laughed at his own cockiness. It was a close match now between Chase's racer and some other player in the UK. At least, the racer's name sounded British. All Chase really paid attention to was that the character was Bowser. It was neck and neck. It was a close match. Maybe Chase could make it! He was almost there....

"Noooooo!" he groaned, falling back onto the floor. He'd just narrowly missed first place! Ugh. Stupid British Bowser. "That's it, dude. It's all over. I'm washed up. I'm an old coot. It's the end of an era. All because of some Bowser guy from New Zealand." It was probably a lot more dramatic than it needed to be. And it also didn't make things better than the 'Bowser guy from New Zealand' was female; not that it was a big deal but it wouldn't help Chase's case at all. Still, it didn't mean that Chase wasn't hungry. He reached into his chocolate bowl and grabbed a mini chocolate donut - which could be a perfectly good breakfast, too, by the way!

It wasn't often that Clint was as interested in Chase's gaming as he currently was, but he had missed it. "Damn right!" he confirmed, his eyes fixated on the screen as his bro fought for first place. At one point they were neck and neck, and Clint shifted in his sitting position in anticipation. But then they hit a power-up and it was all over.

He sighed, feeling his bro's defeat too. "Oh well... don't worry about it dude. That was just dumb luck, seriously, you could've just as easily won if that power-up had generated in front of you instead. There's always a next time." Clint encouraged, figuring his bro could do well to take a break from the game at this point.

"Anyway, maybe it's a sign that we should give Yoshi a rest for now, don't you think?" he asked hopefully, adding, "Like when was the last we were able to get outside and climb stuff we shouldn't?" Clint grinned persuasively, maybe a little too mischievously for his own good before he stood up. "Tell you what, I'll go get dressed and you think of something exhilarating we could do - hows that sound?"

"But it didn't. Bowser got it instead and crushed me. And it wasn't even like this was a hard course either. It was Yoshi's field, man! I was supposed to have the edge!" Chase groaned. Ugh, there was nothing worse than a crushing defeat. A defeat against the computer players were one thing. A defeat on Rainbow Road was another thing. But a defeat because of a power up at practically the last second on what was far from one of the hardest courses in the game? Miserable. At the suggestion of next time, Chase scoffed. "Seriously? Dude. What are the odds even I'm gonna race against this guy next time? Do you know how many people probably hook up to the internet on this thing to race against random people? It's not happening. I'm washed up. Just like I said." He pouted and took another bite out of his doughnut. there was nothing like a bad end to a Mario Kart race to put Chase in a bad mood. Needless to say, if he had ended up coming in eleventh or last place, it would have been ten times worse!

"What, like use the ***** Luigi instead? You know that guy plays dirty," Chase replied. When Clint suggested climbing something or doing things they shouldn't it did give Chase some coverage to think. Clint did have a good point. When was the last time they caused mischief of any kind? Last year was climbing on the roof of one of the buildings before proceeding to put together their fairly epic confetti fan prank and then going to the mall so Clint could get his flirting practice on. What did that have to show for this year? Clint didn't go as the firefly from Princess and the Frog to join in on Chase's and Max's costumes; so they couldn't hide anything in that costume to pull a prank at the Halloween Dance. They didn't draw anything questionable on any of the chalkboards in the classrooms. Well, at least Chase didn't. They didn't break into anyone's dorms. The more Chase thought it over, the more he realized that Clint was right. Like, legit right. They should be doing something! Shaking his finger up and down, Chase ended up nodding his head. "Dude..." he realized, following Clint out of his room - bowl of donuts in hand, naturally. "We should totally put some kinda prank together! I mean, yeah, climbing stuff is cool and all. But when was the last time we created and kinda chaos? You...you don't think actually spending time with the girls has like, softened us or anything.... Right? Cause there is NO way that can even be a thing ever!"

Clint tried to be comforting, really, but he was well aware that Chase was just over-reacting again. He was used to that, probably in the same way that his bro was used to him over-reacting about sappy stuff. "Hey you never know, but I meant next game. You probably won't rematch with Irish Bowser or whatever, but you'll race against other people and you can win next time - that's what I mean. Anyway, the fact that you're bent out of shape about it just means you got to take a break man. At least you were in second place, you would've gotten a medal if it was a real life thing." he reminded, nudging Chase out of his sulky pouting and shaking his head as he clearly didn't get what he'd meant by giving Yoshi a rest.

At this point he was itching to get outside and in the sun. Sure it was fun watching Chase doing his thing, but it was so much more fun actually doing something risky! Not illegal per se, because he knew Wyatt would be so pissed at him if he got in trouble... but just, something active and totally off-the-wall. His adrenaline needed a boost that a good run just didn't do for him.

Leading the way out of Chase's room and in to his own, Clint's brows rose at the thought of a good prank. "Hmm dude, that might just be what we need. We haven't done a prank since... I don't even know." That wasn't right, they used to prank stuff all the time! "No they haven't softened us dude... just, we've been busy right?" he said uncertainly, because well, even though he didn't feel softened at all - maybe the girls had been distracting them. Not a bad thing, but they did need some time to let loose! "Keep talking, let's get some ideas going - we are definitely getting a prank in today man!" Clint affirmed with a wide grin, moving to his closet and quickly finding a pair of jeans and a shirt.

Chase shook his head. Clint just didn't understand how serious video gaming was sometimes. Especially not when it involved competing against actual people. "First of all, it was UK Bowser. Where are Irishians even located anyway? Second, second place medals are for when I'm unlocking stuff. Y'know, beat this race, win in this amount of time, get special character. That kinda thing. Not even comparable to racing actual people."

He followed Clint into his dorm, scarfing down the rest of his donut in the process. "That's exactly my point!" he exclaimed after swallowing. "It's a sad day when we can't even remember the last prank we pulled. Not even the last awesome prank. The last prank. And we had some pretty awesome pranks. Replacing the lights in that one professor's classroom with bright red light bulbs? C'mon man. Magic like that doesn't just happen. We make it happen. It's us, man." And he was in complete agreement with Clint. No way they were going soft because they had girlfriends. Kind of weird to say. But it was true. It had to have just been them being busy. Why else would they willingly not play pranks? "Yeah. Yeah, that's gotta be it. You don't just stop being pranking kings. We don't just stop being pranking kings." He clapped his hands together. "Alright man let's make this happen!"

Chase began pacing around Clint's room, retreating into the corridors of his mind where all the crazy prank plotting happened. "Ok so we gotta figure out if we wanna go out and buy pranking supplies or just work with what we got. That's the first step," he decided. "We have plenty of balloons. We can go old school and get on top of a building, drop the balloons full of something on unsuspecting people while they walk by. If we wanted to break into dorm rooms again maybe we can glue paper bugs into lamps, we never run low on paper or glue. Or or, we could go into dorm rooms of people we hate, steal their underwear, roll them up into balls, and replace them with some of the balls in the gym. We can break into some of the classrooms, move the desks and chairs around to block the doors and we sneak out the window. No one will be able to get into their first class on Monday! Course we'd have to maneuver our way around anyone still in the building and play it completely cool so no one would suspect it was us..." Chase stopped pacing and turned to his bro. "What do you think? Anything sounding good? Can we work with any of those ideas? Cause personally, I think the underwear ball is a new take on the whole stealing underwear to attach to the flag pole. Imagine balls of fabric being thrown during a big game and no one even realizes it till it's too late!"

"You just said New Zealand though man, that's practically Australia! And yeah I know what unlocking stuff is, but who's to say you don't unlock things by actually racing people? It just... really subtle maybe, I don't know. Doesn't matter dude." Clint shrugged off the comparing real racing to Mario Kart because he knew there would be no way around Chase's logic of the matter. He was a pro at this stuff.

As his bro talked pranks, Clint chose just the right shirt for the day - pairing it with some jeans and tossing both articles on his bed. "Dude you're talking like we aren't pranking again, we are - we just ... need to find the perfect prank. You know how that goes, it's gotta come to us. We are the pranking kings, we just took some time away but that doesn't mean we're about to stop now. " It was just the right time to change, with Chase distracted with his plotting and all.

As he went through all the materials they already had, and what they could do - Clint was unsure. "Well I don't know, as much as doing prank ins sounds fun... I think we'd be pushing it. They're still looking for the confetti bandits, especially the janitorial staff. Man were they pissed - I just, think it'd be better pranking someone we know, you know? Also, underwear balls dude? You really want to handle a bunch of strangers' underwear, not sure where your line is on things but I think that idea is over mine." Maybe he was weird, but anyway - they'd be messing with people's personal property and stealing it - way different from their first major prank in.

"I don't wanna shoot you down though man, but I think we could come up with some better ideas. Something easier too, maybe to just warm us up before a bigger prank? I know we have a whole bunch of leftover Tang, we could dump it in the fountain - and by then we might come up with something better, like setting a bunch of bugs loose in the Modeling Center - wait. No, no... because then Wyatt might get freaked out about it. I'd feel bad." Still, it was a branching-out point they could work with.

"Australia? Seriously? You sure New Zealand isn't somewhere in England? Or Britain? They all have accents," Chase replied. He shook his head. Clint really didn't know geography. Or how prizes in Mario Kart worked. Mostly the latter. Chase wasn't so hot on geography either.

And anyway, Clint was right. They did need to find the perfect prank. They are the pranking kings. Not that they had a lot of competition - how many pranksters were there at Metric College anyway? Still. It wasn't exactly easy being kings. Even though with their natural charm, creativity and sneakiness Chase and Clint could pull off some pretty awesome pranks, it took a lot more than just those qualities to make it happen. They had to put all of those into a good idea, work with what they had, and avoid every potential risk in getting caught. Try doing that around a busy campus that could potentially kick them out as a result! And, fine, maybe Clint did have another point when he said they were crossing a line with stealing peoples' property. "I mean, we'd use gloves or something so we wouldn't technically be touching them..." he stated. Though a doubtful look from Clint didn't exactly help the case. Chase groaned. "Fine, no underwear balls." He held up his hands in surrender.

He began pacing around once again, thinking of what they could do specifically to put their heads together. Letting bugs loose was a good idea. It was simple. There were plenty outside. All they'd need was to trap the bugs in something. But maybe the modeling center wasn't exactly the smartest place.... "Pranking has few rules but one of the few is to never risk pranking your crush or girlfriend. Y'know, unless it's like a for a surprise or something. Actually, a girl being mad at us is probably worse than any punishment we could get if they ever find out we did the confetti fan prank. It sounds like such a majorly important rule that saying it's the number one rule or even the golden rule isn't enough. It's gotta be something bigger than golden. Like...uh, what's the thing that comes after golden? Silver is before, I think. Maybe the diamond rule?" It sounded right anyway. Diamonds HAD to be higher up on the scale than gold! He then shook his head. "I mean, yeah we could do that. Dump the Tang and stall to come up with a better prank. Or...." he paused to think.

Then his eyes widened and he turned to Clint. "Or...we could have a pranking guinea pig! Who better to test a prank on or even warm us back into the pranking field than a guinea pig? That's it, dude! That's totally our in!"

Clint stared at his bro. "Dude. Accents? We have accents, everyone has accents. New Zealand is an island off the coast of Australia, look it up. If you weren't busy flirting with the girls in your Geography class back in the day you'd know that." It wasn't the dumbest thing Clint had ever heard from Chase, and he was glad that it distracted him from the defeat. Enough for him to think up underwear balls... of all things. Clint shook his head at the compromise of gloves, giving him the look. Seriously, what if they got caught - rifling through some big dude's underwear? What then? Clint wasn't willing to find out, ever. "That's right." he confirmed, "Never underwear balls. We can think up something way better." What that way better thing was though, remained to be seen.

He knew collecting bugs would take too long anyway, so it was a good thing Chase was with him on the no freaking crushes out. At this point Wyatt was more than a crush anyway, so he has a responsibility to not get her mixed up in this stuff period - no way would he risk his place in her good book with some silly short-lived prank. No way. "Yeah you're right about that. Mess with the wrong girls and its like vengeance of the woman scorned for life or worse..." he agreed raising his brow at Chase's quandary, shrugging at him when he answered his own question before Clint could even give it a thought. "Diamond works with me, though it kind of implies getting married don't you think?" he thought aloud, sending his imagination to his and Wyatt's ideal wedding day - which made him feel a little weird, getting head of himself like that. He'd have to dote on Wyatt way harder if he wanted that daydream to come true anytime soon... which wasn't something he was too concerned about right now. He was more concerned on keeping her from going off on dates with other dudes, regardless of how harmless those dates in question may be. There. Imagination equalized. Clint shook his head as well.

"Well, yeah. A pranking guinea pig sounds just right - but who would it be? Maybe it's better if it's someone who doesn't really know us but we know them. So we don't have to bend over backwards trying to figure out their schedule and stuff, we'd get right to the pranking."

They all had accents? Seriously? Chase knew New Zealand/Australia/England/whatever those similar places were had accents. Russians had accents. Germans had accents. Bostonians had accents. Canadians had accents. And that was kind of where it ended. Seriously, everyone in the world had...no wait, vampires also had accents. And Texans. Ok where was he? Oh yeah. Seriously, everyone in the world had accents? Chase raised an eyebrow from confusion at his bro. But when Clint brought in Chase's flirting, the curly haired student couldn't help but scoff. "Dude. You know how long it took to get some of those girls' numbers? You know how much I pay attention in class anyway? C'mon. Totally worth it." Yeah. It was really the flirting that completely distracted Chase from learning.

Ok, something better than underwear balls.... Well actually now that Chase thought about it, underwear balls did sound more like a summer camp prank than anything. If they didn't go to summer camp, they just couldn't pull of a summer camp prank. Maybe they were too old or something. Whatever. "Married?" he repeated when Clint questioned the ruling name. "You kidding? Since when?" As if Chase was thinking about getting married, let alone any time soon. Clint on Wyatt was one thing. But Chase? Heck if he ever thought about it for himself. It was probably one of the furthest things from his mind. "Dude, I see it two ways. Diamonds are high up there. Like, really high. If there's a Diamond Rule about anything, it's a huge *** deal. If something makes it to its diamond anniversary, like one of those super popular cult movies or something, it's a major deal. But you gotta remember, in the many, many, many, many girlfriends I've seen my dad go through, not to mention the movies in general, diamonds are a girl's best friend. Get them one and you got them forever. Or...until you break up for some inexplicable reason. Ok, y'know what? Let me rephrase that. The point is, you get a girl a diamond and you jet serious bank with them. So, by that logic, Diamond Rules exist to keep women happy. They're happy, we're happy. It's one of those circle of life concepts I think."

But Clint did have a point. If they were going to have a pranking guinea pig they'd have to choose wisely. But who on campus didn't know Clint and Chase at least on some level? Well, Chase assumed anyway. Not like they were the most popular guys but they did know some of the in crowd. So scratch the person not knowing them, just in case. So, someone who they'd know exactly when to prank. Someone who they could easily plan a prank for without overthinking anything or going into so much trouble. Someone who could get them prepared for an even bigger and better prank. After all, one good small prank was bound to lead into one huge, awesome prank. And when it came to easily pranking someone, there was only one person Chase could think of. Well...ok, that was a lie. He could think of a few people he'd love to prank. Chad probably had something coming to him sooner or later. And he definitely wanted to get Jared eventually; Chase hated that guy. But it wasn't like their schedules were obvious. Like, they could think either of those guys would be out when they'd really be in their dorm rooms nailing some chick. Too risky. Besides if Chase and Clint were going to be stupid enough to prank a girl it either had to be someone they really hated or someone who already couldn't stand them. To Chase, the choice was obvious. "Dude," he said with a grin, "I think we already got our token pranking guinea pig. We know the schedule. We know we're always in the doghouse anyway. We can think of a prank pretty easily and we don't have to go over the top and waste too much energy. We're gonna prank the Bookworm."

Clint just shook his head at Chase's defense. It wasn't even like he still talked to those girls anyway, so according to him yeah – wasn't worth the effort that could've been spent actually learning, but it wasn't like he'd tell Chase that. Every number he scored was like a trophy to him, so it didn't matter if he even called the girls, what mattered was that he could if he wanted to. Clint got that, kind of... but it just sorta seemed like a waste to him. Whatever, Chase had his own methods to his madness – there was just no contesting them sometimes.

Following his bro's explanation of the 'Diamond Rule', Clint nodded along. Though he was always gonna attribute diamonds with wedding rings, it didn't hurt to expand on it a little. Either way, he liked the name. The Diamond Rule was perfectly flawless and unbreakable and would definitely come in handy in the future, especially with how they'd been getting along with their respective 'relationships'. Okay so maybe Chase was a little closer to that department than Clint was, plus Wyatt had who knows how many pieces of jewelry with diamonds already... still. The Diamond Rule still stood. “I'm in total agreement, the Diamond Rule is final dude. So now that we've got that established,” He grinned, his brows raising thoughtfully. “let's think about who we're pranking today...”

It was difficult for Clint to think up a truly deserving target though... he considered a few too – like the cheerleaders for Salem High – but after their last pranking of SHS... it was probably best to lay low for a while. Then he thought of a couple Metric teachers, maybe doing the post-it note thing but, they did that enough as it was. Pranking the janitors would probably be ill-advised, considering that they were already on the look out for the confetti bandits... so Clint stumped himself, looking to Chase to see if he had any hint of an idea yet.

The grin was enough to tell Clint what he was thinking and as Chase made his case he was already shaking his head, “Bro. I think you've got some serious memory loss because otherwise you'd remember what happened the last time we pranked Carla. Do we even know her schedule, really? Think about last time - she's illusive, man! Illusive and really smart, probably smarter than us combined in so many ways it's not even funny.” Every time Chase wanted them to prank his sister Clint got this uneasy queasy sort of feeling, it made his face scrunch at the prospect.

While it was always nice to be on the same page as Clint, there were a couple of things they still had their differences on. The obvious patience talk aside, sometimes they just had to set a compromise on what to do or where to go. And when it came to pranking they had very different ways of thinking. Chase liked to come up with crazy ideas. Even if they wouldn't be doable, he liked to think it helped them get to other ideas or save certain pranks for certain people. Clint was very strategic, more cautious. He went big when it counted but there was times when it just seemed like Clint preferred the whole less is more approach. And though they generally agreed on who to prank, what their target audience was, when Chase had his mind set on someone it wasn't always easy to get Clint to agree. Chase's sister was always gonna be on that list of people Clint tried to stay away from pranking. Maybe it was part of the whole sibling territory; something that should be for Chase to handle only. But sometimes, Chase just needed his bro by his side.

"Ok, ok, so sneaking the ferret into her room last year didn't go completely the way I figured," he admitted. "But dude, think about it! We are not gonna find anyone better! I have like, some kinda automatic in. It's my job to drive her crazy. And, as my best bro, by logical type sense, that means you have every right to be involved. Let's not forget another thing, my friend, I have ways of finding things out." Admittedly, since Carla joined the newspaper or whatever club it was, it could be a bit more difficult at times to track her down. Fortunately for Chase, it also meant it was easier to avoid her when necessary. "Last week was the whole family video chat crap that my dad's girlfriend made us go through. That's prime time to find out when and where she's gonna be. And this morning I happen to know she's meeting up with some of the other news geeks. Carla's completely antisocial so you know she's not gonna stick around them long. She's probably gonna grab some food and go to the library to do homework where no one can bug her. She's literally in the club meeting right now. Dude, we're not gonna get it any clearer than this!"

But Clint wasn't having any of it. Why'd he have to do this every time? Folding his arms, Chase let out a scoff. "Dude, what are you, scared of her or something? She's way shorter than us, man, what's she gonna do?" Ok, maybe that wasn't the best argument to help his claim. "Ok, let's look at it this way," he said holding up his hands. "Yes, she is smarter than us. Both of us put together. That's why she's the bookworm. But she's not unbeatable. Look at it this way, who else can we have an easy in with when we get a pranking urge? How many other peoples' schedules can we find out in a snap or even know in advance? Are you forgetting that we're the pranking kings? Look at what we pulled off in all our years of pranking. We got a year and a half left here, Clint. Do you think we're actually gonna become legends here if we don't go for stuff? That we're gonna back off if one person scares us away? Look, if you got someone better and easier in mind to prank that you know exactly how and where to get, I'm all ears. But you gotta admit, the timing's in our favor. And she already hates our guts so it's not like we got anything to lose." He shrugged his shoulders, waiting to see if his convincing and somewhat overdramatic speech got through to Clint at all. Of course this was the kind of thing that was ultimately asking for trouble - on multiple ends. But Chase was willing to take that risk. And sometimes, just going for a prank beat sitting inside playing Mario Kart all day. Hell, he was pretty sure if he did stay in with nothing else to do he'd never hear the end of it from Clint! That was too big of a risk for him to take.

When Chase proceeded to persuade him, Clint sighed. He knew where this was going - and yeah, so he had a few good points.... but still. The whole thing was just a disaster waiting to happen and he knew it. Telling Chase that or rather, him listening to that was a whole other story. He seemed so set on pranking Carla again, regardless of Clint's unwillingness to go along with it. That meant he wouldn't be able to talk him out of this... He looked warily as he said she was in a meeting right now. But did he know that for sure?

Crossing his arms, Clint shifted in his stance,"I don't know man," he exhaled, "you don't know if she'll just end up leaving the meeting early or something. You're just assuming that she won't be heading straight to her dorm, but she might, and if she catches us again I'm not even sure what she'd do." Probably something that would make them stop the pranks for good. Well, not for good... because once Chase made his mind up to prank her, she'd get pranked.

He tried to think of someone, a better replacement for Carla but Clint blanked. "...I got nothing," he admitted, already feeling like he was beat. He was right about how easy it was to prank her, regardless of how sharp she was. Plus they could do worse... the underwear balls came to mind. Yeah, they could definitely do worse.

"Okay okay dude. I'm not scared of your sister - let's get that clear. I just like knowing that if we do prank her it won't backfire horribly, can you guarantee me that?" he asked, a challenging lift to his brow before he answered himself, "No, you can't. We might have timing on our side for now but do you even have any ideas we can work with besides the usual stuff? Since we're the Prank Kings we have to keep our material fresh," Clint reminded, sulking as he loosened his arms and letting them drop to his sides. "We're gonna need to find another automatic person to prank soon, because I'm sure Carla will only humor us so much... I really don't want to find out what she'd do in revenge. Again, not like I'm scared or anything."

Chase blinked as he listened to Clint. If there was anyone to keep them on the right track and focused on everything, it was Clint. Clint was thinking everything through and actually looking for proof on everything. The guy could only take so much, let alone from the same person. Chase assumed that Clint had a higher tolerance when it came to certain things dealing with Wyatt. Ok, so fine; Clint didn't have to deal with Carla all the time the way Chase did. Clint didn't have that kind of immunity or...or...what was the word Chase was thinking of? Being used to the whole thing...? Oh whatever, that wasn't the important part.

"Bookworm? Leave something early? You serious right now?" Chase never knew his sister to leave something early. Not when it involved school or work. Chase was fairly confident when he thought that Carla would overstay her welcome at the meeting to plop herself in front of a computer or whatever and work until it was time to do homework. "Look, let's be real here. That girl clearly doesn't have a life. Even if she did leave on time, where else would she go? There is a one in three chance of her being in her dorm if we head over there right now. I may not be the most math person ever, but I'm pretty sure that means it's in our favor. Even if she did get there while we were working our pranking magic what could she do anyway? She knows by now to expect something, at least from me. I'm the one with crap to lose, not you. You'll get yelled at, probably. I'll most likely get hit with one of those huge binders she carries around."

He sighed and ran his fingers through his curls. Clint was right about one thing. Chase couldn't guarantee that something they did wouldn't backfire. Or that they wouldn't get caught. But really, in the big picture that could happen with anyone during any prank. Even if they went after Chad or that guy or some teacher they couldn't stand, there was still a chance they'd get caught by someone. Hell, how many times did they get caught during the confetti fan prank? But they didn't blow their cover. Even if they couldn't hit all the dorms, they still made the prank happen. And it was awesome. "Look, for the record, she doesn't get a choice in this. I'm her brother somehow so she kinda stuck humoring us no matter how we look at it," he started. "Ok...what if we just kept it simple this time? We won't booby trap her room, we won't hide anything in there, we'll just...I dunno, paint some of her books different colors so it'll mess up her system or, or we'll replace her shampoo with something sticky or mess with her chocolate? I'm not saying we have to go all out - even Bookworm's not worth that trouble. I'm just saying, we have an urge to prank. We haven't pranked in a while. This is the best sure fire way to get back in the game. And for the record," he put a hand on his bro's shoulder, "you will never be more scared of anything than you were the first time you tried talking to Wyatt yourself,or even practiced flirting with someone. But dude, you do got some scared in you right about now."

So yeah, Clint didn't know Carla half as well as his bro did. Heck, he didn't even really know her at all apart from the random times they pranked her... and subsequently caught and scolded them. From those times alone he knew it was best to not mess with her, but Chase always insisted. Clint didn't want to be thought of as a wimp when he was actually being realistic. Chances of them getting caught in this were always there, he knew that - no matter how much Chase persuaded otherwise... and this time was no exception.

"One and three isn't great odds man, one in fifteen maybe - one in a hundred definitely, but one in three? You really aren't good at math dude. And things is I don't like being yelled at, I think people who actually like getting yelled at are tools. But I know you're not backing out of this... at this point," he sighed, not liking the powerlessness that typically followed his bro's focus on pranking Carla. If it didn't matter to him if they got caught by her or not, they would be going through with this. All Clint could do is hold tight.

He shrugged at his bros logic, it did make sense in its own way. She had the misfortune of getting a prankster brother, what could she expect but to be pranked? Any way, he had to play along. It was easier and truthfully, it was more fun when he just went along with these things than when he resisted the entire time. "Okay I agree on that, keeping it simple is the best mindset to be in for us. You know... until we really get our groove back. Paint is too messy... but, hey. If she has a chocolate stash we could like, replace it? Don't we have all that leftover fruity candy from this past Halloween? We should put that in her chocolate box and hide the actual chocolate?"

As he spoke, Clint actually felt like he was getting somewhere, like this simplest of pranks could do it for them. For tonight at the very least! "I'm not scared though, I'm just... you know how I don't like that look Carla gives. It's intimidating and just - I don't like it." Clint shrugged to brush off the actualy realization that he was a little scared of Carla's wrath. But hey, how bad could it really be, right?
