Back in the guest room where the twins Andy and Ollie were staying for the weekend, there was another person added to their party of five. Logan was one of the unwanted, along with his clingy girlfriend Maria Valentina who liked to get the point across that he was her boyfriend, and of course Danielle who had found the way to leech herself onto Ollie like the life sucking person she was--according to Louise, or course. 

The visitor weekend had gone from great to okay, to bad, to worse with each new person added to the group. Danielle's two henchwomen hadn't made it to the guest rooms and Louise guessed it was in an attempt to give their friend some alone time with Ollie.

Louise sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. 

"I honestly just want the weekend to be over." She muttered to no one in particular.

With what all the people in the room, no one noticed as she snuck away to get some fresh air. Her school opened up to a hiking trail in the forest which the girls were encouraged not to go into alone, and not to go into at night because of the dangerous wild life they might find there. Louise walked into the first line of trees, to remain invisible if anyone were to pass by. Logan was being held captive by Maria, Ollie by Danielle, while Annie and Andy were blissfully keeping each other company. That left only Louise and Aimee, which at the moment Louise preferred to be alone over hearing Aimee whine about Logan having a girlfriend.

She sat down, leaning her back against one of the tree trunks and got her phone out. Louise Belcher felt like she needed some excitement in her life. Her days at St. Mary's Academy were repetitive and bleak. But she couldn't exactly have any fun either. One wrong step would get her suspended and then she would be sent to a juvenile detention center, and all for accidentally burning down Mr. Frond's office. 

Louise got her cellphone out of her pocket and skimmed through her contacts until she found the person she was looking for. 

Gene.

Her older brother was in New York, in his second year at Julliard school of Music. One of the most prestigious in the country. Louise had at first been amazed that he got in when he was the kind of boy who loved things like fart noises. But the talent was there, and when Julliard accepted him, he vowed to be a more serious person. 

Up until now, he had actually achieved it and Louise hardly recognized him anymore. But it was understandable. He loved music than the ability to goof off and be silly. 

louise: gene

gene: hey louise, whats up??

louise: would you be able to visit next weekend?

gene: idk. why?

louise: bc i need ur help with something.

That something was a prank she wanted to play on Danielle for stealing her friends from her. Louise was almost certain Danielle wasn't actually interested in Ollie. She only wanted his attention because he was a boy, and because he was Louise's friend and she would take any chance to mess with her.

Gene promised her he would try to make it.

From what Louise knew, her brother had classes Monday through Friday, but he performed at a bar on the weekends, and that was how he made some extra money other than the student worker job he already had on campus. Getting Tina to consider it would have been harder, since she would most likely bring Jimmy Jr. along and he would be a distraction to her. Not to mention the other girls would be drooling over him like they did with Andy and Ollie.

She waited outside for a few more minutes, jotting down in her phone notes just what kind of prank she had in store for Danielle.

-

Andy and Ollie returned home on Monday morning, and Louise was surprised they never once got a phone call from either of their parents. The only one who really noticed they were gone was their older brother Jimmy Jr., and he was more than ready to cover for them in case their parents asked for their whereabouts. Their mother thought they were with their father Jimmy Pesto, while their father thought they were with their mother Marina Lee. 

Maria Valentina also had to return to the apartment she shared with Logan at the beginning of the week. The super model was reluctant. She wanted to be around to keep an eye on him. In a school full of girls, she didn't know what could happen to ruin their relationship, but she could imagine it.

The school week went by quickly and Louise made arrangements for her brother to visit, though she didn't actually hear from him until Friday morning.

He told her he would be able to make it for the visit and that he would be arriving in the afternoon. By that time, Louise already had everything ready for her revenge plan against Danielle.

Just as he promised, her brother arrived in the afternoon and Louise led him to the guest rooms in the back building of the school. He was sat on the bed, looking like a real music professional with a guitar case slung over his shoulder. He hadn't been able to bring his keyboard because it was too much of a burden.

"So what did you need help with?" He asked her, curious.

"I need you to help me get revenge on some bitch who's always trying to make my life hell." Louise informed him with a devilish grin as she thought about her plan.

Gene immediately shook his head. "I'm not about that life anymore, Louise."

"Gene!" Louise whined, stomping her foot on the ground in a tantrum. "You're a musician, not a priest. You can have some fun, you fucking pussy."

Her brother crinkled up his nose. "I don't want to be on the national news for burning down an office." He pointed out.

"That was an accident!" She argued. 

"Accident or not," He reasoned, "That's going to stop you from getting into a good university."

Louise scoffed. "Who says I wanna go to a university?"

Her real plan involved working at the burger restaurant after her parents died.

"I can't help you." He said with a shake of his head.

"Please Gene." She begged, bringing her hands together as though she were going to start praying. "I promise I won't ask you to do something like this ever again, if you help me. All you really need to do is lure her into the forest where I have the trap set up. She won't listen to me because she hates me, but you're a boy, and she's always trying to get male attention."

Gene seemed to think about it. "We won't kill her, right?"

"Of course not." Louise assured him.

All she was going to go was to dump a bucket of school glue on her, and then let a bunch of feathers fall on her so that she would look like a chicken. There was no killing involved, and no one actually getting hurt.

He sighed. "Fine. This is the last prank I'm helping you with, you mad scientist."

-

Just as Louise instructed, Gene was walking around the school by himself. According to Louise, Danielle visited the fitness center on Friday afternoons for a work out and then returned to her dorm to change for dinner.

Gene was supposed to meet his sister by the fitness center, where Louise would point out which of the girls was Danielle. Gene would then have to talk to her and somehow lure her to the forest, where the trap was set up. It was easy enough, but Louise still feared that her brother would somehow screw it up.

But with Louise no where to be found, even twenty minutes after the agreed upon time, Gene approached the first girl he saw emerge from the fitness center to ask about her. "Excuse me," He called , and the girl who was dressed in work out clothing turned, acknowledging him. "I'm looking for my sister Louise. She told me to meet her here. Have you seen her?" 

The girl raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Louise is your sister?"

"You know her?" He asked.

She nodded her head. "Yeah, we're class mates."

"I'm Gene. I go to Julliard in New York, and she asked me to visit her this weekend because she was lonely." He introduced himself with a polite smile. 

"Oh." The girl smiled wide. "You're a musician."

He nodded. 

"We can sit over here while you wait for her, and we can talk." The girl suggested, leading him over to a nearby bench.

-

By the time Louise arrived, she saw them from a distance first. She had been caught up with her football coach who had asked her why she hadn't made it to practice that day. In between the excuses she gave, and the scolding she got from him, she saw at least twenty minutes wasted and she thought it would have been the end of her opportunity. 

Her eyes narrowed in recognition as she saw Gene and Danielle talking on a nearby bench by the fitness center. It seemed like she was on her way out when they spotted each other.

Louise got her cellphone out of her pocket and texted her brother.

louise: hurry gene, that's danielle

She saw her brother reach for the phone in his pocket and read the text message from her. His expression furrowed in confusion and he typed out a response for her.

gene: this is danielle?

gene: she doesnt seem mean at all

louise: well she's an evil bitch

louise: and she hates me

louise: i wanna get back at her just this
once.

gene: she's so sweet though...

gene: sorry louise, i cant help you

louise: alright fine gene -.-

louise: be that way

louise: see if i fucking care u little traitor

Without waiting for a response, she ran off, frustrated and angry. She had no destination. All she knew was that she needed to get as far away from St. Mary's Academy as she possibly could.

She reached the front of the school where the parking lot was located right next to the soccer field. There were a few cars left in the lot--here and there--but there was one she immediately recognized as belonging to Logan Barry Bush.

Louise didn't know why he was still at the school at that hour, but she saw her opportunity and she took it. She jogged stealthily towards the car which was near the entrance. Since there was a security booth nearby, she pretended to enter the school building, but instead she went to the side door of the back seat and pulled on the door handle. To her luck, it was unlocked and she climbed into the back seat.

Even more lucky for her was the fact that Logan emerged from the main building minutes later, placed his belongings in the trunk, climbed into the driver's seat, and took off.

Louise was laid out on the bottom of the back passenger side, where people normally put their feet, and didn't make a sound. The air that was coming in through the window smelled even sweeter with freedom now that she wasn't trapped in that god forsaken place.

The drive to Logan's house was about twenty minutes and Louise could only see trees out the windows of the car.

He finally came to a stop at a typical suburban family home with a white picket fence around it. Logan shut off the engine and got out of the car. Sore and stiff from laying on the ground for twenty minutes, Louise sat up on the back passenger seat and stretched her arms over her head while the chemistry professor went to the trunk to get his belongings.

As he closed the trunk, he saw the figure of the pink bunny ears in the back seat.

He shook his head quickly. "I'm seeing things." He told himself.

But he knew it wasn't his imagination when he saw Louise emerge from the back seat of his car.
