The Prank Wars
It was simply so perfectly planned out. Fives grinned wickedly as he started down to the barracks. Once he stepped in he threw a quick glance at Echo who was busily scrolling down on his data pad, then continued to his bunk.
Echo looked up to see Fives gather a few things from his bunk, a dark grin plastered on his face. "What are you up to." Echo asked skeptically. "Oh Echo, I finally came up with the perfect plan." Fives answered sighing happily. "Why do I get the feeling I'm going to regret asking what it is?" Echo said, now suspiciously eyeing his brother. "She's finally going to kiss me! Then she'll see, she feels the same way I do." Fives smirked. "Kiss you? She wouldn't kiss you even if you were the last of us." Echo laughed.
"Well, she's not going to have a choice." Fives said, dashing out of the barracks. "What? Oh no no no NO! FIVES!!!" Echo yelled stumbling from his bunk and ran after his comrade.
Captain Skyler gracefully walked to her barracks, holding a data pad in her hand. Today she was in charge of planning out the counter attack for the troops' next mission. She opened her slide door then went over to her desk. She sat down with a heavy sigh and scrolled down the data pad, rubbing her temple with her free hand. She was a little short on sleep, and was a bit tense ever since the last mission.
Her throat felt dry at the thought of almost loosing Stormy. If she waited a moment longer to push him out of the way, he would have been shot in the chest. Chasing the the thought away, she glanced at a glass of water that stood next to the piles of paperwork. 'Was that there before?' she thought, her brows furrowed. "Maybe I just need some sleep..." she mumbled to herself, realising it was probably there all along.
She grabbed the glass, taking a few sips before returning her attention back to the data pad. After about a minute or so, her vision started blurring and she felt lightheaded. She stood up taking a couple of steps to the door before stumbling over her own feet and luckily crashing onto the bed. She saw a blurry figure hovering above her before falling unconscious.
"Rex!" Echo yelled in a panicked voice running towards his captain. Rex spun around startled, looking at Echo. "What is it?" he asked a bit tense. "Have you seen Fives anywhere?" Echo asked panting. "No." Rex answered. "Have you seen Sky?" Echo asked, eyes wide. "No, I haven't." Rex said. "Oh no..." they both said in unison and dashed off towards her barracks.
Skyler woke up in a dark room, tied to a chair. "What the kriff?" she said struggling against the restraints. She suddenly heard chuckling and shot her head in that direction. Fives came walking out from the shadows with a evil grin on his face. "Fives, what the kriff is going on here?!" she snapped. "You are under arrest." he smiled back. "Under arrest? For what trooper?!" Sky growled. "For not kissing me, captain." Fives answered smoothly. Sky just stared at him, eye twitching in annoyance.
"The only thing you'll be getting from me if you don't untie me, is my fist against your face." she yelled in irritation. "Well then, I'll just tell Tup you were the one who blew up his power core stabilizer." Fives said, sighing hopelessly. "You wouldn't dare..." Sky said narrowing her eyes at him. "Come in Tup, this is trooper Fives. I repeat, come in Tup.."
"No no wait! Stop!!!" Sky yelled at him, eyes wide. Fives' grin grew bigger on his face. "Yes captain?" he answered. "You win this round. I'm gonna get you back for this!" she spat, venom laced in her voice. Fives simply stared at her in shock, before a wacky grin grew on his face once again. He leaned in close and...
"Where could she be?" Rex asked worried. "I don't know Cap, but I really hope she socked Fives in his jaw if he tried something." Echo replied with a tone similar to Rex's. They had walked around the whole base, twice, but still there was no sign of either one of the two. "This is pointless. You don't think they ran off, do you?" Echo asked. "No, why would she run away?" Rex replied looking a bit angry. Echo nodded and walked on. "Fives if you tried something..." Rex grumbled under his breath.
Fives dashed out of the abandoned barracks laughing while being chased by a rage filled captain."Fives I'm gonna kriffing kick your sheb!" Sky yelled at the top of her lungs. Fives ran down the halls loosing her between the other troopers. "You hear that too?" Echo asked Rex, looking around. "Yes, let's go!" Rex said, running down the halls followed by Echo. "FIVES!! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!!!" Skyler yelled while slowing to a stop. Just then Echo and Rex came running over.
"You alright Captain?" Echo asked looking at her. "There's gonna be one less trooper in the morning." she replied, quite agitated. "What he do?" Echo asked, a bit worried. "He kriffing kissed me..." she mumbled in response. "Oh when a get my hands on him, he's gonna be so sorry." Echo said clearly annoyed, walking off to find his brother.
"Don't worry. I'm going to make him pay. He's lucky I won't court marshall him." Rex smiled gently, putting a hand on Sky's shoulder. "Thanks Rexy." she smiled back. "Now go get some rest." Rex said. "Sir, yes sir." Sky smirked walking off to her barracks. As Rex stared after her, he could feel a slight warmth radiating off his face. He was blushing slightly. For some reason he smiled once again, before walking off.
