Rolling over in bed, I looked at my bedside table clock to see that it was about 3:30 in the morning. Stopping, I waited for that lurch in my stomach to return but it never did. With a smirk on my face, I carefully removed the blankets off of my body in hopes of not disturbing Ironhide.
As quietly as I could, I walked over to my suitcase and unzipped it, picking out a pair of high-waisted, light wash Hollister jean shorts, my black and tan aztec printed crop top, and my black combat boots. I changed as quickly as I possibly could before throwing my hair up into a messy bun.
After getting dressed, I headed over to my special suitcase to get everything I needed for this morning. I shoved it all into my little tote bag and hurried out of my room as quietly as I could manage. Thankfully, my dad had a copy every all three room keys, so I grabbed the ones for both Sam's and Zimmerman's room before exiting my penthouse. I tiptoed across the hall and stuck the key into its designated slot. Once it clicked, I smiled in triumph and pushed the door open.
The room was dark, but with the full moon illuminating brightly through the balcony doors, I found my way around the room moderately easy. Just as I was about to turn the corner into Sam's room, I was grabbed and a large hand was placed over my mouth to keep me quiet. Of course I had been immensely startled by it at first, but once I figured out that it was just Bumblebee, I managed to calm myself down a bit.
He pulled me into Sam's bathroom with Dino and I smiled considering this was exactly where I had intended to come first. I placed my tote bag down on the bathroom counter and dug through it, handing two incredibly large bottles of the harmless coloring to Bumblebee and taking the hair trimmer out and giving it to Dino. After laying the bottle of baby powder on the counter for myself, I began explaining to them what they needed to do.
Bumblebee was going to take the bottles of coloring, one pink and the other black, and put about half the bottle into their conditioner bottles; Carly absolutely hated the color black, though she wore it, and Sam hated the color pink because he thought it was too girly so I thought that dying their hair the color they hated would really be funny. It was harmless though and only lasted about a week or after about twenty seven washes. I couldn't wait to see the turn out.
Dino was going to do a little hair-dressing for me. Epps had been non stop talking about how much he "loved" the mustache he had been growing. He complained that it only took him ten years and about seventy-one bottles of hair growth supplements to finally get it the way he wanted. He was quite proud of it, but in the morning he most definitely wouldn't be.
I, on the other hand, was going to fill up Carly's hair dryer with baby powder. Two pranks in one was kind of mean, but she claimed she hated the smell of baby powder and I saw this as my opportunity. While she was angry and drying her onyx colored hair, she was going to be blasted in the face with the fine powder.
It took us a matter of forty-five minutes to finish preparing everything that need to be done in this room and after that we were on to Steve's and Zimmerman's room. I quickly unlocked the door and rushed inside. Before long, the sun would be rising and I needed to finish everything I was doing before I got caught.
"What if we wind up getting caught?" Bumblebee whispered.
I scoffed. "Have you and I ever got caught before?"
"Hm, I see your point," he responded as we walked towards Zimmerman's bedroom. I stopped in the doorway and took out my special two sided clear tape. With this, he would run into it on his way out of his room and literally struggle for minutes at a time trying to get out of it; I decided that since I didn't know Zimmerman very well, I would pull a harmless prank on him so he wouldn't hate me.
After giving Dino instructions on what to do with Steve, Bumblebee and I carefully taped Zimmerman's doorway. It had taken about half an hour to get it all precise, but precise is what I wanted and I was more than pleased with the turn out. It didn't even look like his door was taped.
Once we were finished here, we had one last stop: my room. I quietly snuck back inside, more than ready to prank my family. It was about five o'clock in the morning and the sun was going to rise soon. It didn't mean that everyone would wake up, but it meant that we had a greater chance at getting caught and I could not get caught right now. I was way too into this; nothing was better than pranking your loved ones while in the Bahamas.
I walked into my dad's room and took out the saran wrap I needed to carry out this little prank. He was one of the heaviest sleepers I knew, so I really couldn't do this prank on anyone else. Dino stayed with us this time too. Without the three of us doing this, it would take a while and like I said, I was trying to be as quick as possible.
Once the three of us were situated in our appropriate spots, we began wrapping my dad in saran wrap. I was more than pleased that his bed wasn't as big as mine or this would have taken a lot longer, but it did take a good hour to get him completely restricted. Everything except for his face was wrapped up and I wanted to laugh at the sight of it.
Soon enough, we moved onto Adalyn, Leo, and Mikaela. Mikaela's and Adalyn's prank was pretty much the same. The two of them were absolutely obsessed with their hair and both of them have this weird dry conditioner they use after every wash, so I decided I would take a little maple syrup and a little bit a glue and stick it down in their bottles. I wasn't a long process, but I was still running out of time so I wound up having to get Bumblebee and Dino to work on Leo for me. I just let them do whatever their sparks desired, so I had no clue what they had done. All I knew was that they were exceptionally happy.
At about 6:30 we finally finished everything we needed to do and I was more than pleased with this. Bumblebee and Dino followed me back into mine and Hide's room so I could conceal the evidence. I placed the tote bag into my suitcase and went to zip it up, but stopped as I heard Dino's voice behind me.
"I believe Ironhide deserves to be a part of this."
I raised a brow and turned to him. "He will kill us. Trust me, Bumblebee and I have tried before. It didn't work out too well for either of us," I whisper-yelled.
He just chuckled and walked over to my suitcase. I tried to prevent him from pulling anything out of it, but he was too fast. He grabbed my can of shaving cream and one of the plastic plates I had buried inside my suitcase.
"This looks promising," Dino mused as he emptied the entire can onto the plate.
My eyes widened as he stepped closer to Ironhide. "Dino, don't do it," I warned him.
"Hush, child. This is harmless compared to most others we've pulled." He didn't stop. He raised his hand and in a swift movement he slammed the plate of shaving cream down onto Ironhide's holoform's face. A loud smack could be heard as the object made contact with his synthetic skin and before long I heard a very angry growl.
Dino quickly tossed the can of shaving cream to me before running out of the room. Bumblebee grabbed my arm tightly and I looked to see that Ironhide was sitting up and even through all of the shaving cream, I could still make out the very angry expression on his face. I didn't like it at all. I threw the can of cream to the floor before shoving Bumblebee out of the room, nearly falling over my suitcase in the process. I could hear Ironhide's rushed footsteps as we ran out of the penthouse doors. I didn't even care about being quiet anymore. He wasn't going to stop until he caught us and after that, I had no clue what he was going to do with us. Ironhide wasn't exactly up for our little "human games" although Bumblebee and Dino had gladly participated in them.
Bumblebee dragged me towards the staircase and the two of us wasted no time running down them. We were on the very top floor, so it would take us a little bit to get down to the bottom floor, but I didn't care. I didn't feel like dying today.
"Where in the frag is Dino?" Bee seethed. I groaned at the sound of his name. The little bitch just left us and now we were going to receive a punishment for something we had no part of.
"I have no clue, but at the moment we really need to get to the bottom floor. Hide probably took the elevator so we have to be quick," I answered him as I pushed the staircase door open. I looked around to see if I could spot Ironhide, but the only thing I saw were a few of the hotel workers who gave Bumblebee and I strange looks. I didn't blame them though. Two grown people running around the hotel at almost seven o'clock in the morning was a bit unusual.
"I don't see him anywhere. Do you?" Bee asked.
I shook my head. "No. What are we supposed to do now?"
"Azalea Lennox," I heard a familiar, yet angry, voice sound from behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"I know what we could do. We could run. Go to the pool," I instructed Bee as I pushed him down the hallway. He wasted no time in running and soon enough we reached our destination. I shoved the pool entrance door open and ran out into the hot, humid Bahama air.
Bee ran ahead of me and towards a bush, but before I could follow after him, the door swung open. I quickly flew into the bush beside me, leaves and other sorts of plant debris shoving its way into my hair. I threw a hand over my mouth to keep from cussing loudly, and watched as Ironhide slowly stalked onto the pool-grounds. From what I could see, his face was clean, but he still looked exceptionally angry.
I searched around for Bumblebee and found him in a bush at the opposite end of the area. He met my eyes and I motioned to the door. He gave me a swift nod and I carefully stood up to head back inside, but I accidentally caught my shoe on one of the bush's branches, tripping myself. I squealed as I landed on the concrete and as I went to get up, a pair of arms grabbed me, pulling me up from the ground. My eyes widened and I struggled in Ironhide's grip.
"Put me down," I grumbled as he pulled me over his shoulder.
"Not a chance." He was getting closer and closer to the deep end of the pool and I squirmed even more.
"Ironhide, I didn't do it. It was Dino. I swear," I spoke frantically. He only grunted and the next thing I knew I was flying out of his arms and into the warm, crystal-colored water below. I let out a small scream before I was submerged beneath the water.
It was way too fucking early for this and my shoes were absolutely done for. My eyes shot open, but that really didn't do much for me. All I could see was a blue blur. Just as I was about to swim to the surface, I could hear a splash. I looked over and made out a new body beneath the water with me. There was no doubt in my mind that it was Bumblebee. His holoform's eyes still shone brightly beneath the fogginess of the chlorinated water. I let out a small, bubbly laugh before swimming to the surface, inhaling the oxygen my body so desperately wanted.
Once I was properly oxygenated and situated satisfactorily within the ten feet of water, I looked up to see Ironhide standing at the edge of the pool with his arms crossed and a very smug look on his face. I glared at him.
"Is that all you got?" I challenged as I swam to the edge. He frowned and I pushed myself up out of the water, the sick feeling returning inside my stomach. .just when I thought I was free.
Ironhide made a move to grab me, but I stopped him. I wasn't feeling well enough for it. I held my hand out and slowly stood up, holding my stomach with my other arm. "Hold on a moment," I instructed him.
I ran over to the bush I had previously been hiding in and I puked. It was bile, of course, considering I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. But, just as quickly as it started, it ended and strangely enough I felt just like I had just five minutes ago; I just hoped this stomach bug would pass though. I could do without all of the throwing up and shit.
I wiped my mouth and stood back up. Ironhide and a very wet Bumblebee stood in front of me, both of their faces holding a very worried expression. I gave them a reassuring smile. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
They didn't even get the chance to respond before I walked back into the hotel, momentarily forgetting that I was soaking wet. I quickly tiptoed over to the elevator, nearly slipping in the process. Before long, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and I were standing in the elevator. Well, they were. I was sitting quietly in the corner just waiting for this long ass elevator ride to be over.
____________________
My eyes shot open, the sound of deep screaming and the sound of my name filling my eardrums. Looking at my bedside clock, I noticed that it was about 10:30 in the morning. I smirked. After Ironhide and I arrived back in my penthouse, I immediately took off to take a shower to get all of the chlorine off of my body and out of my hair. As soon as I changed back into my pajamas, I was fast asleep, but now I was awake.
I quickly got out of bed-carefully stepping over Bumblebee's sleeping form in the floor-and rushed into the room the screaming had come from which just so happened to be my father's room. I nearly fell over laughing at the sight in front of me. My dad glared at me and before long, Ironhide and a very tired Bumblebee had made their way into the room as well. Bumblebee snorted back his laughter while Ironhide was silent. I assumed he was shaking his head at our antics.
"If you don't get me out of this within the next five minutes, I swear I'm going to kill you both," he instructed both me and Bumblebee. Of course he knew that Ironhide had not been a part of it.
Bumblebee and I quickly rushed over to his side. Being the smart one that I am, I had laid a pair of scissors down on his bedside table knowing that I or someone else was going to have to cut him out of this. I grabbed the scissors off of the table and went to cut him out, but my laughter was too great to allow me the proper concentration to do so.
"Azalea Grace Lennox, get me out of here," my dad seethed. I laughed harder and handed the scissors to Bumblebee. Hopefully he could manage on his own. At the moment I might die from laughter if I didn't leave.
I walked passed Ironhide and into the kitchen to get some water in hopes to calm myself. After filling a glass up to the brim with water, I walked back out into the sitting area where Dino sat on our couch watching TV. I furrowed my eyebrows at the sight.
"What are you doing here? You left Bee and I to deal with Hide on our own. Jackass," I retorted.
He chuckled. "That was the plan all along, young one."
I just scoffed and sipped my water. Before long, the penthouse door was opening to reveal a very angry Epps, and I pretty much choked on my water at the sight of him. Not only was his "beautiful" mustache and beard cut off, but his eyebrows were gone. I definitely was not going to take the fall for this.
"You're in trouble, little girl," he chided as he stepped closer and closer. I laid my glass down on the coffee table and raised my hands up in surrender.
"I did not do that. I swear to you. It was Dino," I told him.
By now, Ironhide was entering the room. "That was your excuse this morning."
"It wasn't an excuse! I actually told him not to do anything to you, Hide. And all I told him to do to you was shave your mustache off. Not your entire face," I told the two of them.
Dino chuckled. "I had only realized my mistake until after it had been done. I truly do apologize."
"See? He just admitted it."
Hide grunted and Epps growled before pointing a finger at me. "You're going to buy me a new bottle of supplements."
It was only now that I realized just how hilarious he looked without all that hair on his face. I snickered and quickly covered my mouth. He glared at me.
"I love you," I prodded innocently. He just growled again and stalked out of the penthouse. I on the other hand just stood there and laughed yet again.
My dad and Bumblebee walked out of his room and I stopped long enough just to give him an innocent smile before laughter erupted from my form once more. I truly had no clue what the hell was wrong with me, and I actually really didn't want to know.
"I'm sorry, daddy." He let out a scoff before running into the kitchen. I took a quick swig of water before running over and hugging Ironhide. "I haven't hugged you in a while. I've missed you, Hide," I giggled.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, worry seeping through his tone.
I laughed again. "Yes. Never better."
*Please vote and comment. It'd mean so much to me. I wanna know what you guys think.*
