Leo and Freddy, along with several other Maiors made up of seniors and juniors, snuck down the path that led from the Maior housing to the kitchens. They had a stop to make before they made it over to Parebant Hall. Two brave seniors rushed into the kitchen and came out with two buckets full to the brim with this years upperclassmen prank; eggs. The group was a sight to behold, with all the boys in their underwear, it was the kind with the buttons over the opening on the back that came up to the neck and had long sleeves, but still the ghostly barefooted boys stood out among the black of the French countryside. The boys raced out in front of the church, who's pillars pierced the night sky stretching into a gargoyled infinity. One by one they climbed over the wrought iron gate, which separated the two groups. Once they had passed the shared church they knew they were on the portion of the campus relegated to the Parebants, and that meant they had to be even more careful, being that the Parebants were watched much more closely than the Maiors. This was going to be the best prank yet, if they could pull it off, and the anticipation pumped adrenaline through the men, making them shiver in the cold night air. 

     "How do we do this without waking them?" Freddy whispered to Leo, who had already grabbed two eggs per hand.

     "Simple. We crack them in the heating vents, that way by morning the whole place will be rancid with the smell of rotting eggs." Leo grinned. 

     "Then?" 

     "The the coup de grâce" Leo's grin stretched impossibly bigger. "We fill a bucket with eggs, and attach it to a rope, so when Madame Jean-Claire opens her door, the eggs spill out all over her."

     "You're mad." Freddy smirked in response. The two of them began to hide their eggs on every ledge they could reach, as other boys shoved the eggs into the air ducts, and the senior attached the final bucket of eggs. 

     "Let's go, before Monsieur Carmichael finds out we're missing." Leo called, once he was happy with their handy work, and the boys packed up their belongings, and raced back across the darkened campus, giddy at the prospects of the morning, and the dreadful surprise they'd ensured for the Parebants. When they reached St. Joseph's dorm, Freddy noticed two boys out of bed, and broke off from the exhausted group to check on them. As he neared them, he realized something was off. The boys were too short to be Maiors.

     "What are a couple of Parebants like you doing here, at this hour?"
