Loki looked like a kid in a candy store as the trio made their way inside. "See the kids in the matching purple t-shirts with the year on them?" Peter asked as they walked up the steps to the main doors. Loki inclined his head. "Those are the seniors. They're all wearing those matching shirts today. They're the ones in charge of all the pranks. Try not to be too hard on them, they're just Midgardian kids and have nowhere near your skill in mischief and pranks. Nor do they have magic to help," Peter warned. He didn't want Loki discouraging their attempts at pranks or looking down on the kids for having fun.

Loki just grinned. "Then I shall just have to help them," he replied. Peter and Wanda could both see the gears in his head working on ideas of what to do to the school and the teachers. But Loki, as ever, was a patient hunter. He would wait and see what the children had come up with on their own before adding his own touches and flair.

And crazy amounts of drama and magic.

The second they walked through the doors, they say three pigs run down the hallway with numbers painted on their sides: 1, 2, 4.

Loki chuckled. "A traditional prank. I assume it is the same on Midgard where there is no number three?" he asked his companions. They both nodded and looked relieved that Loki had chosen to be amused rather than upset at the 'traditional' prank.

"C'mon," Peter told him as the principal walked by, followed by a full mariachi band, and looking annoyed. Loki couldn't help laughing at the harried look on the principal's face. "The seniors asked me for a favor if I actually got you here," he explained and led Loki and Wanda through the halls.

"A favor?" Loki asked, concerned. It was one thing for Peter to owe him a favor. He didn't like the thought of Peter owing favors to others.

"Don't worry, it's nothing harmful. They know we're friends and asked me to make sure you saw something they did if I managed to actually get you here. They didn't think I'd get you to show up," he explained. Loki nodded. That was a reasonable request. He was the god of mischief and chaos after all, of course the seniors would want to see him on their day of pranks. He had a feeling he had a lot of new worshipers for the day.

Loki always appreciated new worshipers.

Peter led the them to the library and opened the big double doors into the huge room of books. Loki wondered what they were doing there, until he saw the statue. He had no idea how the art students had managed, but greeting them in front of the circulation desk was a marble-looking life sized statue of Loki in full regalia, including the helmet, arms spread wide in the classic 'your savior is here' pose. It wasn't real marble of course, but plaster or some such material, decorated to look like marble.

Peter whistled appreciatively. "The art students went above and beyond with that creation," he said. There were students in the purple shirts approaching the statue, and a couple who were standing guard protectively over their creation.

Loki approached the statue, curious to see what the purple-shirts were up to. They were leaving offerings. He couldn't help the emotions that he had that they were actually leaving offerings at the feet of the statue to him. There was a collection of offerings there already. Most of the students weren't rich, so the offerings were simple things, but Loki appreciated every single one of them. There were brownies someone made, snack cakes from the store, different types of candy, an entire chocolate cake, and quite a lot of letters. Loki reached for a brownie and growled softly when one of the purple-shirt guards tried to smack his hand away from the treat.

"Those are offerings, you can't just take them!" the boy scolded. Peter started to step forward to diffuse the situation. It was something the kid had great skill in.

Loki stood to face the purple-shirt who had tried letting a version of his horned helmet appear on his head. It was the one that didn't entirely cover his head. It had been called the 'murder tiara' outside of Loki's hearing. It was still recognizable as his helmet.

"I believe that is an offering to me," Loki replied with a hint of humor in his voice at the kid's completely shocked expression as he lifted the brownie to bite into it. He purred in appreciation at the treat. Before he could take another bite of the brownie, though, every student in a purple shirt within earshot dropped to one knee, bowing their heads in supplication. Loki was shocked. Somehow, even after the battle of New York, these Midgardians were bowing down to him. They were kneeling before him. Even after demanding that the people in Stuttgart kneel before him. These children were doing so of their own volition.

"We hope our offerings please you on this, our day of pranks," one of the seniors, who Peter recognized as a drama student, told Loki.

"Oh yes, this will be such fun~" Loki said approvingly, but softly. Louder, he addressed the kneeling students, putting on the air the statue portrayed, the benevolent god. "Rise, my supplicants," he told them with a grandiose air to his tone. The students rose from their knees. "Your offerings and statue are pleasing to me," he told them graciously "And I have witnessed a sampling of your pranks,"

"Any assistance your godliness might be willing to lend to our poor attempts at pranks and mischief would be highly appreciated," the drama student added. Peter had a feeling she was part of Loki's army with how over the top she was addressing him, but Loki seemed to be eating it up.

He inclined his head regally. "It would be my absolute honor to assist you in your day of mischief," he told them with a Cheshire Cat grin.

The chaos began after that.

Some of the pranks were done by the students, some by Loki. There were times it was difficult to tell who had done which. Other times, it was all too easy.

The pigs and the mariachi band were the work of the students. So was the cow on the third floor of the school. Apparently cows will walk up stairs, but they won't walk down them. They also claimed credit for putting the principal's car in the empty swimming pool, which impressed Loki as he couldn't figure out how they'd gotten it there. The choir kids barricading their corridor while singing "Do you Hear the People Sing?" was definitely all on them.

The hallway that was filled with bubbles from floor to ceiling was definitely Loki, especially since the bubbles stayed in that hallway. So was the hallway that forgot what gravity was. So was the other swimming pool being filled with cherry cola. The statues in the hallways being repositioned in lewd poses was also Loki's doing. As was the gym being turned into an exact replica of the training grounds of Asgard. And the bilgesnipe in the soccer field. He blamed Thor for the rain in the science labs. Though he took credit for the snow and skating rink.

For the hell of it, every student who entered the library that day ended up in Hogwarts robes of their House color (which Loki somehow got the spell to sort them correctly) and had their patronus floating around them.

He wanted to turn all the teachers into animals, but Peter told him no. Firmly. And repeatedly. And then threatened to call Thor. So he had to give up on that idea.

The slip n slide down the hall could've been either Loki or the seniors. So could the auditorium being filled with cats of all things. No one figured out who hid the watches all over the school. Or who set them to sound alarms every minute until the staff found them and turned them off.

They had a feeling the ugly stupid goats on the football field were Loki's doing, but no one could prove it. They ranged from ugly and stupid, to really ugly and really stupid, to extremely ugly and extremely stupid. Everyone felt sorry for that poor goat. On a completely unrelated note, the entire football team had mysteriously vanished. Loki claimed no knowledge on that subject.

In short, the school was complete and total chaos by the end of first period.

Loki shadowed Peter all day to his classes. He had spelled his murder tiara to only be seen by the students and Loki spun a lie, in a very convincing accent, about being family visiting Peter from England and was shadowing him for the day to learn about American high-schools. He had a very convincing permission note saying so. He may have used magic to convince them, but he wasn't owning up to it if he did. The seniors all bowed to him in the halls as he and Peter passed them. Loki adored every moment of it.

When Loki and Peter arrived at lunch, they saw a giant Christmas tree erected in the cafeteria, completely lit and decorated. That wasn't so strange on this day of chaos. The strange part was the entire senior class standing around the tree in a circle, swaying as they sang the Who song from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

Loki chuckled when he saw them. "How do they all know this song?" he asked Peter quietly when he saw them.

"It's in a Christmas movie. The holiday in the winter, near when your people celebrate Yule. I'll show it to you at Christmas," Peter explained, and made the offer. Loki could wait to understand entirely until then. He didn't always know what Midgardian things Loki already knew about and tended to over-explain himself, but Loki appreciated the effort his friend made.

There was a whispered word from one of the seniors and all of them turned to the doorway where Loki was and dropped to their knees, then bowed down before him, bowing so low their foreheads practically touched the floor. The teachers all took too close of a look at Loki then, and he realized his disguise was over. It wasn't holding up anyway, not with all the magic he'd been using around the school. They had to have figured out that Loki was behind the chaos. And they knew Loki and Peter were friends and what Loki was capable of.

At least Loki didn't have to hide anymore.

With a shimmer of green magic a stage appeared under him, rising a couple feet as his form shimmered back to usual, though in his full regalia and proper helmet. "Rise, my supplicants," the seniors stood again when he bid them. "You have pleased me this day with your offerings of mischief and chaos. Your god has accepted your offerings. I offer you my gratitude on this day for the experience and I hope that next year's class will live up to the legacy you have left them," he told them in his overly dramatic grandiose way. He paused for a moment. Peter caught his attention and held up his yearbook, the one Tony had bought him so his friends could sign it. Loki inclined his head, thanking his friend for the wonderful idea. "I would like to present you with a small token of my gratitude," it was only fair for the fun they'd give him. They day wasn't over, of course, but this was the best opportunity to address them all at once. A shimmer of magic went through the room and surrounded each Senior's yearbook. "A small gift, from me," Loki told them. He had used magic to change one of the blank pages to images from the day and had his signature in green magical ink in the center.

There were cheers and applause from the entire cafeteria.

One girl stood up on one of the tables. "The Junior class accepts your challenge. Expect bigger pranks from us next year!" she called in a stage voice. There were more cheers from her words from every Junior in the cafeteria.

Loki vanished in a shimmer of green magic and reappeared in the library to devour his offerings happily. Peter was laughing when he found Loki there a few minutes later. "Knew I'd find you up here," he teased Loki warmly and sat next to him by the feet of the statue. He accepted the brownie that Loki offered him. "That was a nice thing you did for the Seniors,"

Loki inclined his head. "It was kind of them to invite me to their prank day," he replied. "It seemed appropriate to give them something in return. Even though the trinket is small," he sounded concerned.

Peter gave him his trademark lopsided grin. "It was perfect. It will mean a lot to them and they'll keep those books and those memories forever" he reassured his friend. Loki grinned and split the chocolate cake with Peter.

During the last class of the day an announcement came over the PA. "If Mr. Loki Odinson would like to ever be invited to future school events, he will kindly return the school to the way he found it this morning. If he would like to be invited to next year's senior prank day, he will also return my car to its parking spot from its current location in the pool,"

Loki huffed and rolled his eyes. "Spoilsport," he glared at the PA as if it were Jarvis and not the principal speaking through a microphone. Peter would have to correct his misconception later.

"Loki~" Peter reminded him. They didn't want Loki banned from chaperoning future trips and Loki wanted to come back for next senior prank day. He had to see if the Juniors lived up to their promise.

He closed his eyes and gathered power to wash over the school and return it to rights. The principal's car returned to its spot glistening and clean. In fact, the entire school was cleaner than it had ever been and all of the lockers were mysteriously repaired because one little arachnid had complained that his kept getting stuck. Loki was making damn sure he wouldn't be banished from future events.

No one asked the football team why they were found on the football field during the last period of the day.

It was better that way.
