CHAPTER EIGHTEEN, big time pranks

Andi honestly loved pranks. She thought they were fun and exciting only if they don't go too far. Some pranks can be a little brutal. So when Katie texted her, saying that the boys are having a prank war and said that girls weren't allowed because they aren't good at pranks she didn't hesitate to come over to the Palm Woods to tell the boys otherwise.

"What's this about girls not being good at pranks?" Andi questioned along with Camille and Jo, looking at Carlos, James, and Logan with a glare while putting her hands on her hips. She was a bit confused as to why Carlos was in a bear costume but she didn't say anything about it. Katie stood beside Andi, Camille, and Jo with her arms crossed while smiling at the boys.

Kendall shakes his head. "Never said that. I just said that it could get ugly, and girls could get hurt." The Jennifers walk over to them after overhearing their conversation and put their hands on their hips. "So, you're saying girls aren't as tough as guys."

"Hey, have you seen the bear standing next to me?" James asked, gesturing to Carlos.

Andi rolls her eyes. "That's Carlos."

"Yeah," James shrugs. "But this competition gets scary."

Carlos then growls trying to scare the girls which didn't work. Camille smirks. "Sounds like to me you guys are scared of getting your butts beat by a bunch of girls."

The boys scoff and shake their heads. Three girls walk over to stand beside Andi, Camille, Jo, Katie, and the Jennifers with their arms crossed. Carlos takes the head of the bear costume off. "What, ten against four?" He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, that's fair."

Six boys who overheard their conversation stand behind Carlos, James, and Kendall. "We're in."

James then count each of them. "Hey, we're still one short."

While Carlos puts the bear head back on Jett stands besides them. "I'm in too." Kendall looks at Jett with furrowed eyebrows. Jett shrugs. "What? I don't like you, but I will defend my gender." He then fists bumped Carlos. Andi chuckled and rolled her eyes.

Kendall looks at the girls with determination. "So be it as reigning Sir High King Lord of the pranks, I now declare this a megapranketition."

Everyone cheers until the clock on the wall strikes noon. "Bug out!" Kendall exclaims and everyone scatters in different directions.

"Laces tied together." Katie stands beside Andi, Camille, and Jo after she tied three of the boy's shoe laces together which made them fall. "Classic."

Andi smiles and fists bumps her. "Nice job." 

Katie grins at her, returning the fist bump. "Thanks."

Carlos, James, and Kendall turn around, looking at them with wide eyes. "So that's three boys down..." Camille noticed.

Jo points at the three boys in front of them. "And three to go."

"Boo." The four girls say causing the three boys to let out a yell. James and Kendall drop their supplies and take off running along with Carlos.

Andi found out that the Jennifers is out of the prank war now being pranked by Carlos, James, and Kendall. So now Andi was helping Katie, Jo, and Camille with a pie-a-pult to prank the boys.

"The pie-a-pult." Katie smiled, setting the pie on the small catapult they hid behind some fake plants in the hallway they're in. Andi smiles. "When the guys get out of the elevator to run to the apartment for shelter...""They'll trip on the wire and get a face full of creamy defeat." Jo finished Andi's sentence while high fiving Katie.

Camille then makes sure that the wire is ready while she chuckles. "Boys are stupid.

""Now, all we have to do is hide and watch the show." Katie smirked.

"Boo!"

The four girls turn around, looking at Carlos, Kendall, and James with wide eyes. Camille let out a scream when she activates the pie-a-pult, sending the pie straight to her face. The boys then cheer and high five each other, but stop when Camille starts crying.

As Camille runs down the hallway crying, Andi, Jo, and Katie look at the three with a glare. "Hey," Carlos speaks up and Andi noticed that he wasn't wearing the bear costume anymore. "We told you that pranking was dangerous."

"Well, does your Lord Prankerton say you're not allowed to make sure someone is okay?" Jo asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"No, he does." James sighs. "It's called the Logan Amendment."

Kendall looks at Carlos and James. "Let's go."

Andi, Jo, and Katie get to the park where Camille is at before the boys do. The boys were shocked when they found out that Camille was fake crying and that she sacrificed herself so the girls could take out all of them. Andi, Jo, and Katie stand beside Camille holding pies while smirking at the three boys.

"Also, we brought back up." Andi revealed dramatically, smirking as she gestured to the girls who got out of their hiding places with pies.

Carlos, Kendall, and James look behind them and gulped when they see the other girls with pies in their hands. "Yep." Carlos grimaced.

James and Kendall nod. "We're doomed."

The three boys do their best to try and protect themselves while the girls started to move out of their hiding places and towards them. Jo smiles. "They look so cute when all hope is lost."

"Ready," Katie said, raising her pie along with the rest of the girls. "Aim..."

"Dogs," Andi looks over with furrowed eyebrows when Gustavo walks over to the boys. "I am Kelly today...Long story. So, uh, studio, now."

"Human shield!" The three boys suddenly shout, moving to stand beside Gustavo who they use as a shield just as the girls throw the pies. "Dang it!" Andi angrily stomped her foot when she saw the boys got out of the park untouched.

Camille and Jo sigh. "So close."

The group of girls turn around when they hear the sound of wheels turning and saw Tyler pulling a box with wheels. Andi tilts her head to the side, noticing the box said 'warning! tasmanian devil'. "Well," Katie steps forward, raising the pie she had at Tyler who looks at her with wide eyes. "Maybe it's not a total loss."

Andi eventually found Carlos and James hiding in a storage room and it looked like they were going to prank each other. She had to crawl in the vents to find them but it was worth it to take them down. Andi gets her two silly string cans ready to spray and opens the vent. The two lets out a small scream, looking at her with wide eyes.

Andi smirks and sprays both of them with the silly string. "Sorry, boys. But I'm trying to help Katie win that crown thing." She points at the seltzer. "Can I borrow that?" She grabs it when Carlos hands it over to her and sprays it all over them. "Thanks!" Andi then giggled as she watched them try to get the silly string off. Carlos and James give her playful glares. "You're gonna pay for this, Andi." James told her. Andi just grins mischievously. "Bring it on, boys. This prank war is far from over." With that, she disappears back into the vents, leaving Carlos and James to plot their revenge.

Just as Andi jumped down from the vent she was sprayed with something she realized was rotten milk. She grimaces at the smell and wipes the rotten milk off her face using her long sleeve. "Gross." She muttered and then groaned, realizing she was now out of the prank war. She wanted to help Katie win, but she had a feeling Katie was going to be fine without her.

Kendall smirks. "Got ya! Sorry, Andi, but I did tell you this would get ugly." He laughs, offering Andi a hand to help her up. "But hey, you put up a good fight. I think Katie might still have a shot at winning, thanks to your help." He ignored the butterflies in his stomach at the touch of her hand as he helped her up, focusing on the competition instead.

Andi's heart skips a beat at his touch, but she quickly recovers, smiling at Kendall. "Nice one, Kendall," She says, accepting his hand and getting up. "Yeah, I may be out of the game now, but it was worth it. Good luck with the rest of the prank war. You're gonna need it." She smirked, dusting herself off.

Kendall smiled fondly at her and gives her a salute before walking away, leaving her with her thoughts. She sighed, a small smile playing on her lips as she headed back to the lobby.

****

Andi now sat beside Camille on the top of the couch with her back to the wall in the lobby. The girls and boys who were out sat in the lobby along with them. Andi looks over when she noticed Kendall running into the lobby with two big squirt guns. He turns around to face them, looking at James and Carlos with surprise at seeing they were out. "Who got you?"

"Andi." They both said, pointing at Andi who smiled proudly.

Andi gives them a little wave, feeling a sense of satisfaction at their acknowledgment. "Sorry, not sorry." She quipped playfully, earning a chuckle from Camille beside her.

Kendall shakes his head with a smile before turning his attention back to the girls and guys.

Kendall nods. "Nice." He then furrows his eyebrows. "Wait, then who's left?"

"Who do you think?" Carlos and James ask him and the group point over at Katie who stands a few feet away from Kendall. Katie had black paint mark under her eyes while she held the seltzer Andi gave her. She smirks at Kendall. "Still think I can't handle ye day of pranks, big brother?"

Kendall smiles. "Lord Prankterton would be very proud of you, baby sister," He raises the two squirt guns of rotten milk at Katie. "But this battle's not over."

"Yes, it is." Bitters said, standing up from behind the front desk and everyone looks at him with an upset expression. "Because if either of you make another mess, I will pull off the ultimate prank." He pulls out two pool closed signs. "I will close the pool for two weeks. The war is over. Put down your weapons," Kendall and Katie sigh and put down their weapons. "And once again, I win, and you are all losers."

Kendall and Katie smirk at each other when they realize they got the same idea. Kendall looks at Andi, Carlos, and James with raised eyebrows and when the three realized what the siblings were going to do they nod. Kendall and Katie then aim their weapons at Bitters and fire at him causing everyone to laugh as he goes to his office for cover.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait." Carlos stops the laughter and the cheering. "Who wins?"

****

The next day they decide for it to be a tie. They had the crown cut in half so Kendall and Katie could both wear it. "A tie." Camille smiles after Jo puts both halves of the crown on Kendall and Katie. "Nice."

The siblings turn to each other and bow. They walk down the aisle the boys and girls made. When Kendall walks past Carlos, James, and Logan the three comments, "We'll get him next year."

The siblings stop at where the pool was guarded off. "It was worth it." Katie nodded.

"Yeah." Kendall agreed. 

Despite the pool being closed, the group of friends had a great time. As Kendall and Katie stood by the pool, basking in their shared victory, the rest of the group gathered around them, sharing in their triumph. Andi grinned, feeling a sense of satisfaction at the successful conclusion of the prank war, even if it ended in a tie.
