The Ultimate Prank- The Newsies

"Shush! We don't need them hearin' us!"

"As if they could. You know Blink sleeps like bear on a log in hibernation."

"Is that even possible?"

"Shut up, Mike!"

The twins froze as Mush stirred, yawning quietly and humming. Ike and Mike let out a relived sigh and continued drawing on his face.

Today was one of the many days the twins pulled a prank on someone. They usually did this everyday, but because of the strike, they had to stop for a while, so today they were pranking everybody.

Both boys stopped hovering over Mush and Blink, smiling at their masterpieces. "Gee, those art lessons with Jack really helped."

"This is gonna be amazin'", Mike expresses, wiping his forehead. "I just wish we could prank Race."

"Then you oughta learn to whisper", the blonde says, standing in the door. "You knows you two is gonna be in a lot of trouble, right?"

"You is, too", Ike smirked, thinking about the word he heard a cop use on the street. "You's was involved by, uh, association!"

Mike looked at him quizzically as Race rolled his eyes, leaving the room to wait for the morning bell. Mike and Ike looked at the room with wide grins, proud of their art.

Some people had drawings on their faces while others had shaving cream in their hands. There was even someone tied to the bed. They even got to Jack and Crutchie, who were outside in their penthouse.

It was pure chaos.

They practically used every prank they could think of. It was beautiful.

Ike looked at the clock outside of the room, smiling joyously. He grabbed a trumpet he found and handed it to his brother. "Here. When the bell rings, blow into this to wake 'em up."

"Why can't you do it?"

"I don't know! You's probably better at playin' it than I is."

"I've never played a tuba in my life!"

"It's a trumpet."

"Whatever. Point is, I don't know how this thing works! What if-"

The bell rang, startling both of them. Ike looked at his brother. "Now!"

Mike blew into the trumpet, causing all of the boys to jump awake, yelling when most of them realized something was wrong.

Romeo looked at the twins, trying his hardest to remove himself from his bed. "Did you tape me to my bed?!"

Ike and Mike snickered, watching as some guys  got out of bed with shaving cream covering their faces. Mush and Blink looked confused as everyone laughed at them, running hurriedly to the bathroom. Specs kept rubbing his shirt on his glasses, finding darkness every time he put them back on. Albert attempted to hop out of bed, but then felt the pain of trying to walk with your feet tied together.

"Ha!" Ike pointed at Albert with a smug look on his face. "That's for trippin' us in the hallways!"

"You little-" Albert fell again as he tried to get up. Everyone in the room either laughed or glared at the twins. Soon, Jack and Crutchie climbed in from the penthouse.

"Okay, who glued and taped Jack's eyes shut?" Crutchie sat his older brother on the floor, patting him on the head. He looked at everyone else with a glare. "I's wantin' to know now!"

Everyone looked at Mike and Ike. Buttons looked at Crutchie. "Wait, why wasn't you pranked?!"

"HUH?!" Everyone heard Race yell as he rushed up the stairs. "I thought you said-"

Suddenly, a bucket of water fell from above him, soaking him literally. He turned to glare at Mike and Ike, who were on the floor rolling in laughter.

The room was mostly silent, other than the twins laughter. Everyone was seething in anger as the twins carried on, only stopping when they saw no one was amused.

Albert hopped his way to the front, looking at the twins directly. He stood for a beat of silence, a smirk creeping on his face slowly. "GET 'EM!"

All the boys yelled as Mike and Ike attempted to scramble away in fear, eventually capturing them attacking.

Mike and Ike definitely learned their lesson about ultimate pranks, especially after Crutchie talked to them.
