Prank Wars

Adalyn

I ram the screwdriver into the panel to open it. Dust falls out and I cough. “My jobs Fantastic” I muttered sarcastically to myself. 

Being a mechanic aboard a ship sucks, but it does have some perks. Like the money I earn, and the great view of space outside. Yea, you read that right.

I am in freaking outer space! I chuckle and put the screwdriver away before It could float away. My hair is always a crazy mess, so I don’t even bother it when it flies up. 

I grab a scrunchy from my wrist and I put my reddish-brownish hair into a messy bun. I grab a handle and float down, floating out of the mechanical room.

The first thing I see when I leave is my crew mate. The pilot. The worst crew-mate ever. Cameron looks at me with an evil smile. I shiver. 

“Why are you so cheerful?” I glare at her. It’s weird, she’s not this nice-

“Can’t a girl be happy?” I roll my eyes at her statement. I float around, grabbing the handle bars to steady myself and control my movements.

“Not you, not normally.” I come closer to her, she sticks out her tongue at me. I HATE when she does that. “Just wanted to say Hi-” She floats away from me.

She is the worst person you would ever want on your crew. She’s lazy, snobby, and overall self absorbed.

She also likes pranks, and not silly ones. One time she put Bleach in my shampoo. It took forever to get out, but my hair is still not the same. 

I need to find some way to get back at her. I need to find a way. I need to prank her.

I love annoying Adalyn. I can’t deny it. I know it’s wrong, or whatever, but aboard this ship there is nothing better to do. So I do silly little pranks here and there.

But THIS- This was my masterpiece. I chuckle to myself… See, I created this plan in my head 2 weeks ago. One, Stop doing pranks, and that was hard because I love pranks!

Two, Wait a few weeks. Three, Start acting nice. Four, wait. It...was… PERFECT! She would be going crazy thinking I have a prank set up for her!

I know, I’m a genius. I could already see her looking worried. It's Hilarious to watch her get all worried. She’ll find out eventually but now I just had to wait.

Adalyn

My perfect prank was set up, now I just had to wait for Cameron to trigger it. Cameron was acting weird. She probably had a prank set up. I had one for her too.

See, I’m a mechanic. So when it comes to technology, I’m normally very good at it.

I have control over all her personal electronics. She should keep her stuff locked up, because it was easy to log on and take control. Now I can control her devices from my device…

Oh boy, she wanted a prank war and now she was going to get it.

I scroll through my social media while hanging upside down. It was fun to do this, it made my head spin.

I see my sister’s new picture of her boyfriend. Of course. She gets a new boyfriend every month. I like the picture.

Then my WiFi went down. Stupid no service in space- I threw my phone on the floor, but it doesn’t fall it just floats.

Then, this happens for the next 3 DAYS! Seriously, isn’t this a technological controlled ship? The WiFi should not be cutting out! I scream in rage and throw my phone as hard as I could, but instead of it breaking it continues to float.

Something is happening, what the heck is going on. I’d float out of my chambers and see Adalyn working on something mechanical, not like I care.

She looks, off though. She doesn’t look annoyed at my presence, she looks… smug. She is doing this!!!

I glare at her. “Are you taking my WiFi?” I ask, more annoyed than usual. She laughs. “You should know what it’s like getting pranked now! Stop pranking me and I’ll give you your service back.”

I explode with anger. This is how she wants to play it? FINE. I’m going back to pranking.

Adalyn

Today I found frogs in my bed. FLIPPING FROGS. How did she even find these!?! How are they even ALIVE??

I sigh, but I do not give up. I’m going to win this.

Cameron

My service is still out, and now I see she’d taken the lights from my sleeping chamber. I should report her, but then she would just report me back.

I need a prank to end her pranks, once and for all. I look in my notebook of pranks, my hair floating above me as I try to sit.

Gravity here sucks. I miss actually sitting on chairs without a seat-belt. Most of my pranks are lame, but a couple stand out.

Then, I get shivers. It turns freezing in my chambers. She cut the HEAT now too!?! Oh, it’s on! Your going down Adalyn!

Adalyn

Her pranks become more and more grand. I find thumbtacks in my shoe- and that was the last straw.

She could have seriously hurt me. It’s time for the one prank that’ll leave her speechless. 

For once, I wont have to see her grin, or her stupid little tongue. I turn off the power in the ship leaving us in the pitch black.

Cameron

I float and stumble through the darkness, hitting walls and random objects on my way, trying to see something. Anything! Heck I would even see Adalyn if I could.

My number one fear is darkness, and I shiver. I cannot take this for much longer. I will not lose because of this!

I need to win! The gravity starts to bear weight on my shoulders and I start to run out of air. I start feeling all the anxieties I have crumble around me.

It becomes even harder to breath. I hold onto the wall, gasping for air. I couldn’t do this anymore. I have failed.

“Adalyn!” I barely breath “P-Please! I-I can’t-” I hear a cold laugh. “Surrender your pranks.” I stared at the darkness trying to see Adalyn, but I just couldn’t. 

“I please surrender!!!” The words fall out faster than I could think them through. “I mean.. I surrender!”

The engine comes back to life as the lights come back on, and I see Adalyn through my clouded gaze. Apparently I was crying. 

Relief flooded over me as I saw again, able to breath. I took slow relaxing breaths. “I hate you” I gasp out, still not processing all the information.

She smiles back at me. “I know” She said with a smirk.
