"SONA!" 1800-IDIOCY bellowed. "Where's the phone list?! I want to prank call the CEOS!"
"Lauren-chan!" Sonia yelled back. "I am in the next room, don't shout so loudly! And it's in here, on the fridge!"
1800-IDIOCY skidded into the kitchen, and snatched the list off the fridge as she skidded past it.
"Let's see!" she said. "000, my parents, Kim's parents, your parents, deadbeats-wait, WHAT?!"
A name had been scribbled all over, and Priscilla had written "DEADBEATS" above it.
"Sona, who are the 'deadbeats'?"
Sonia sighed heavily.
"Don't worry about it, it's just Priscilla being rude"
"I can see that, but who is she being rude to?"
Sonia sighed again.
"The people next door" she said. "For some reason she's really angry at them right now-well, mainly their kids. She's tried to throw them over the fence three times, and she won't tell me why she's so angry"
"Oh..."
"She won't calm down. Whenever she sees the kids she just full on loses it" Sonia said. "So the kids are freaking out, their parents are really angry, and they're threatening both me and Prue with the police"
"Why you, Sona? You didn't do anything!"
"Oh, some rubbish about me not being able to 'contain' her or something. Which is ridiculous. I mean, she's not an animal, for God's sake! I shouldn't have to contain her!"
"Mm"
1800-IDIOCY then had an idea.
"Want me to see if I can get her to tell me what her problem is?" she asked. Sonia shrugged.
"Well, you can try..." she said slowly. "But she's really, really angry right now, so don't be surprised if she snaps"
"Ok!" 1800-IDIOCY said eagerly, and rushed out.

She rushed down the hallway and threw Priscilla's door open. Inside, Priscilla was sitting on the bed, glaring out the window. 1800-IDIOCY grinned.
"PRUEPRUEPRUEINCOMING!" she shouted, taking a running leap and flying onto the bed. She glomped her friend. "HIHI!"
"WHATTHEFUCK!?" Priscilla cried. "Oh, if it isn't Lauren. Hey, sweet, what's up?"
"THE SKY!"
"...Yeah"
"Prue, how come the next door neighbours are deadbeats??"
Priscilla cringed.
"Erk!" she cried. "W-Well..."
1800-IDIOCY stared at her with wide eyes, waiting for a response. Priscilla bit her lip.
"Well..." she said. "Your birthday's next week, right?"
1800-IDIOCY jumped back.
"Well, yes" she said, clearly startled. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"The kids next door ruined my present" Priscilla snarled. "That is why they're deadbeats!"
"Tell me! How'd they do it? Did they sneak in here and break it? If it was in here though, how could they possibly-"
"NO!" Priscilla cut her off. "Let me explain!"
She took a deep breath, and began explaining what had happened.

"I know you like pink and purple things, so I decided to plant you a bunch of beautiful pink and purple plants and flowers, and they'd all bloom on your birthday" she said quietly. She suddenly became furious and her voice rose sharply. "THEN!"
"Then?" 1800-IDIOCY whispered.
"THEN! Just as they were starting to bloom a little bit, those stupid deadbeat kids came into the yard. They had managed to kick a ball over the fence and had come to get it. They saw my flowers..."
"And?"
"AND THE LITTLE BEASTS PULLED THEM OUT! I saw them do it! I leapt out of my window, grabbed them by the scruff of the neck, and boy did I yell at them! Thanks a lot, I said, for ruining my friend's birthday present!"
"What happened next?" 1800-IDIOCY whispered. Her eyes had widened to the size of dinner plates.
"I threw them and their stupid ball back over the fence" Priscilla said gruffly. "Before that, I told them if
they set foot in the yard again I would set Blade on them"
"Prue-cha..."

Priscilla's voice rose with anger again.
"They seem to think it's a game!" she snapped. "They keep showing their stupid little faces in the yard, taunting and teasing Blade because they know that Sonia will never ever let me set him on them! And then when I come out, they act all scared and then go whining to their parents! I swear, if they show their stupid ugly faces again, I'll just twist them into pretzels! That's the last time I ever try planting things!"  
"But Prue-cha!" 1800-IDIOCY cried. "Sona told me-"
"Who cares what Sonia said?!" Priscilla shouted. "Those kids are gonna pay!"
1800-IDIOCY could see that Priscilla was really upset, and she wanted to help.
"Aw, Prue-cha, don't be sad!" she said. "I'll figure something out!"
She started to leave, but Priscilla called her back.
"I don't know what you're gonna do. But whatever you do, Lauren..." she said, "Don't tell Sonia why I'm so angry at those kids"
"Why?"
"She won't get it, ok? Just don't tell her. Please. Be a good girl and promise me"
1800-IDIOCY hesitated. She found it very hard to keep secrets from her best friends, nor did she like it very much. But Priscilla was her best friend too, and she wanted to please her.
"I...I promise, Prue" she said. Priscilla smiled.
"Good girl" she said. "Now go do, um, whatever you were gonna do"
1800-IDIOCY smiled.
"Will do!" she said. "But now you have to promise ME something!"
"Yes?"
"If they come back, do not go outside. Let me carry out my plan, ok?"
Priscilla was hesitant.
"Fine' she said finally. "Your plan better work, whatever it is"

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

1800-IDIOCY had a plan on how to punish those kids once and for all. But the plan did require a lot of waiting on her part. She sat in the window seat in the living room, staring intently into the yard. Sonia came up behind her, and placed her hands on her shoulders.
"So, did Prue tell you what was wrong?" she asked. 1800-IDIOCY bit her lip.
"Um, no" she said quickly. "She yelled at me and told me to get lost"
Sonia frowned.
"Lauren, if she had done that, you would be crying. And you would not have spent so long in her room. Please don't lie to me, you know I can see through your fibs"
"Shit" 1800-IDIOCY muttered. Sonia sighed.
"Did you get sworn to secrecy, kiddo?" she asked. "Because if you did, just say so..."
"But then you'll make me tell you anyway!" 1800-IDIOCY cried.
"Shit"
"HAHA!" 1800-IDIOCY laughed. "TOUCHE!"
"Yes, yes" Sonia muttered. "Anyway, I'll leave you to whatever you're doing"
1800-IDIOCY smiled and nodded.
"Mm!" she said. "Thank you, Sona!"
Sonia shook her head and walked off, and 1800-IDIOCY continued staring. Suddenly, she saw it. Two red headed, freckled faces peering over the fence and into the yard...an enraged shriek from Priscilla's room confirming 1800-IDIOCY's theory.
"The deadbeats..." she growled.

She raced out the front door and to the fence. The two kids initially screamed and bobbed down, but when they saw that it wasn't Priscilla, they came back up.
"Oh, it's not the monkey-lady!" sneered one of them, a boy.
"Monkey lady?!" 1800-IDIOCY cried. "That's not very nice at all!"
"No, this isn't a monkey-lady, this is a crybaby!" the other, a girl, laughed. 1800-IDIOCY's eyes flashed with rage and her hair stood on end.
"Lookit, you freckle-faced mutants, you deliberately ruined the flowers!" she cried. She shook her fist at at them. "Plus, you keep trespassing and upsetting Blade!"
"The dinosaur's funny!" the girl said.
"And who cares about your stupid flowers, anyway?" the boy scoffed. "What can you do about it?"
1800-IDIOCY could now see why Priscilla hated these kids so much...
"You're really pissing me off, y'know. I can do plenty!" she snapped.
"Oh yeah?" the boy challenged.
"YEAH!"

1800-IDIOCY's sign flashed on her forehead and her eyes sparkled as her rage gathered power.
"You've angered Priscilla for the last time, you freak-faces!" she bellowed. With that, she let out possibly the biggest and angriest scream she had ever managed.
"AAAAFDSJAHSGDJHSAGDAFDJADSHFGSADHFJGKAAAAAAAAAAAA!" she shrieked. Her hair flew in all directions. She used all of her energy and strength to focus power into her hands-and then with a swift movement she had sent the power skyrocketing straight at the kids.
"WAAAH!" they cried. The power hit them square in the face and they were sent flying into the air. When they landed, they were right in front of 1800-IDIOCY. The attack had worn her out completely, and she was close to unconscious.
"The flowers" she growled. "If they're...not dead...give them back to Priscilla...and say you're sorry!"
And with a rather rude hand gesture, she collapsed and fell unconscious.
"...Shit" the boy whispered. "Should we get somebody?"
"Too late!" the girl squeaked. Priscilla had seen the whole thing, and was running towards them with a furious look on her face.
"YOU!" she roared. She skidded to a stop in front of them, and grabbed them so they couldn't escape. "You are gonna be-"
"WAIT!" the girl squeaked.
"What?" Priscilla snarled. The girl fumbled in her pockets, and quickly brought out several clumps of dirt.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GIVING ME BACK THE DEAD FLOWERS?!"
"They're not dead!" the girl squeaked. "Trust me! Plant them!"

Priscilla growled a bit.
"Fine" she said finally. She let go of the kids. "But if they're dead on her birthday, you're gonna be in real trouble. You hear me?"
"I hear you" the girl whispered. "I'm...I'm sorry"
The boy had run off, and Priscilla was surprised that the girl was still there.
"You what?" she asked.
"I'm sorry!" the girl repeated herself. "It was all my brother's idea..."
Priscilla smiled slightly.
"That's what they all say" she said. "Now, you're not hurt, are you? At least, not too much?"
The girl shook her head.
"Good" Priscilla said simply. "Beat it"
As the girl raced off, Priscilla turned to 1800-IDIOCY.
"Maybe..." she said, glancing at the clumps of dirt with the flowers. "Maybe there is a chance"

~One week later~

It was the day. Saturday. Priscilla had planted the flowers back when the girl had given them back to her, and she had watered them and cared for them as best she could for the whole week. Now her time was up-it was 1800-IDIOCY's birthday. It was time to see whether her hard work had paid off. The sun was just
beginning to rise, and Priscilla's alarm went off loudly. She slammed it off and started to pull the curtains back-but then stopped. She didn't want to look at the flowers just yet. She wanted it to be a surprise for both her and 1800-IDIOCY.

She went into the kitchen, where she found that only Sonia was awake.
"Good morning, Prue" Sonia said.
"Hi" Priscilla said.
"Coffee?"
"Yeah"
"Toast?"
"Yeah"
Sonia raised her eyebrows.
"Are you nervous about something?"
"Yeah. Wait. No. DAMMIT!"
Sonia smirked.
"Gotcha. Anyway, is it something to do with the fact that we're taking the midget and her friends to the zoo? Because even I am a little bit nervous about that"
"No, actually...more to do with the flowers"
Sonia became confused.
"The flowers? What about them?"
"Oh, never mind" Priscilla snapped.
"Prue, you've looked after the flowers as best you could this week, that's all you can really ask, isn't it?"
Priscilla scowled and Sonia sighed.
"How about you go wake the midget? If she doesn't wake up soon she'll be rushing around like a mad lady and everybody will be laughing at her, and you know she cannot stand that"
Priscilla had to laugh at that.
"Sure" she said, and ran upstairs.

When Priscilla entered the room, she almost couldn't see 1800-IDIOCY. All that could be seen of her was her long hair, which was all over the place. But she was buried under her massive pile of blankets, so Priscilla could not see her face or anything else distinguishing.
"Hey, are you even alive under there?" she hissed. "Lauren, wake up!"
Several seconds went by, without any response. Priscilla shrugged and was about to leave, when she heard a loud snort.
"Ffffff" 1800-IDIOCY groaned. "I'm up, I'm up, really..."
"Yeah, sure you are" Priscilla grinned.
"Is today Saturday?"
"Yes, and it's your birthday, remember?"
"...It is?"
"You IDGET!" Priscilla yelled. She jumped onto the bed and grabbed 1800-IDIOCY, proceeding to attempt to tickle-torture her to death. "You're such an idiot how could you forget your own birthday!"

She suddenly stopped though, and remembered the flowers.
"Now, Lauren..." she said quietly. "Now is the time to check the flowers"
"Huh?"
Priscilla didn't answer, she simply rushed over to the windows, where the curtains were closed.
"Come on!" she beckoned. "Now is the time to see if your present worked!"
1800-IDIOCY dragged herself out of bed and stumbled over to Priscilla. Priscilla clasped the curtain cord carefully, her nervousness clearly evident.
"Three" she said.
"Two" 1800-IDIOCY added.
"One"
The two girls looked at each other...
"Go! Blastoff! Go!" 1800-IDIOCY yelled. Priscilla yanked the cord and the curtains parted instantly. The girls girls shrieked and ducked down, almost afraid to look. When they finally got the courage to look up again...Priscilla was so startled that she ducked down again.
"WHOAMYGOD" she shouted. The garden was absolutely FULL of bright pink and purple plants and flowers. They were all large and blooming and they all looked pretty healthy.
"Wow, Prue-cha! It worked!" 1800-IDIOCY cried. Priscilla couldn't stop gaping.
"What the hell" she whispered. "It worked"
"HEY!" a sudden shout from downstairs made them snap out of it. It was Sonia. "ARE YOU GUYS EVEN ALIVE UP THERE?! TIMIKA AND VANESSA ARE HERE! WAKE UP ANDREW, AND LET'S GO!"
"OK, SONA!" 1800-IDIOCY shouted back. She glomped Priscilla and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Scilla-P. I love you very much"
"Eheh, I'm sure you do" Priscilla said, trying to pry 1800-IDIOCY off. "W-Why don't you go and wake up Andrew? Or go get some breakfast off Sonia, she loves you! Just please get off..."
1800-IDIOCY's eyes widened. She pulled herself away from Priscilla sharply, and her eyes welled with great big tears.
"Prue-cha..." she said. "Don't you love me?!"
Priscilla's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course I do" she said. "Stop being silly! I'm just not a morning-glomps kind of person"
"OH!" 1800-IDIOCY said brightly. "Ok!"
And with that, she ran off.

"ANDREWANDREW WAKE UP!"
Andrew groaned as he felt something crash straight into his stomach. His eyes jerked open and he saw 1800-IDIOCY sitting on top of him.
"Had you landed any lower, Puddintater, and you'd be in some deep trouble" he grunted. "Good morning"
"HIHI. You're awake and now we can go to the zoo because guess what day it is?!"
"Happy Birthday, sweetheart"
"OH MY GOD how did you guess?!?!"
Andrew chuckled.
"How much sugar have you had?"
"NONE!"
"Ok, you've had heaps"
Andrew sat up and pushed 1800-IDIOCY off him.
"Go get Sonia to give you something to eat" he said. 1800-IDIOCY nodded.
"Ok, but only if-" she said, but she got cut off by the phone ringing. Her eyes widened.
"PHONEPHONEPHONE DON'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE I'M GONNA GET IT!" she bellowed.

She rushed out into the hallway and quickly answered.
"HELLOHELLO"
"Lauren-chan, I do appreciate that you're awake" a stern voice said. "But you really need to hurry up"
"Sona-cha?!"
"Yes"
1800-IDIOCY blinked.
"Why the hell are you calling the house phone from your mobile?"
Sonia laughed.
"Because I love being confusing, and because YOU NEED TO HURRY UP!"
"WAAAAH! YESYESYESYES!"
1800-IDIOCY slammed the phone down, and skittered down the stairs.

She slid into the kitchen, where Sonia, Timika and Vanessa were waiting.
"Where's Prue and Andrew?" Sonia asked with raised eyebrows.
"Um..." 1800-IDIOCY said. "I don't know. Toast please?"
"LAUREN!" Timika yelled. "GUESS WHAT!"
"WHAT?!"
"CONFUSION AND DELAY!"
"YAY!"
Timika and 1800-IDIOCY then stood there chanting "CONFUSION AND DELAY!" over and over, while Vanessa stared in confusion and Sonia facepalmed. Priscilla ran into the kitchen, dragging Andrew behind her.
"Let's go!" she yelled. "Andrew didn't want to get out of bed, but I sure changed that!"

As the others talked, 1800-IDIOCY's eyes sparkled happily. Sonia was quick to notice.
"Happy, kiddo?" she laughed. She didn't get an immediate answer-just a tackle glomp. "OOF. Are you ok? Don't start crying on me!"
"I love you, Sona" 1800-IDIOCY whispered.
"Love you too Lauren-chan" Sonia grinned. "Now come on! At this rate the zoo will be closed by the time we even get out of the house! So let's go! Now!"
"Yesyesyes!" 1800-IDIOCY yelled. She grabbed Timika and Vanessa and dragged them out to Sonia's car. Andrew, Priscilla and Sonia could only laugh.
"Crazy girl" Priscilla said.
