Emily is Smiling

After Caleb the enemy cut Rebekah's hair when she wasn't looking, Rebekah and I began to devise a plot to make Caleb sorry for ever trying to start a prank war with us again.  Apparently our former plots hadn't been enough.  We needed something better. 

Rebekah and I decided to prank Caleb in a way that wasn't anything too bad, but enough to make him think, "Do I really want to start something with them again?"  We decided to prank his car.  What's nice is the fact that Caleb has a fairly new car that he loves... but he has to park it in the driveway every night.  His driveway is dark, in the alley, and is at the opposite end of the house from his room, so it takes a lot of noise for him to hear anything. 

We made a visit to the local Wal-Mart and bought a few supplies.  Vaseline, two big containers of powdered Kool-Aide, two packages of Saran Wrap, and five cans of chopped tuna.  We also grabbed a bag of stale Cheerios from Rebekah's house.

Okay, we both aren't looking our best in the photograph to your right, but this shows Rebekah and me in our all-black clothes.  We were decked out for crime. ;)

When we first drove to Caleb's house, we were horribly disappointed because his car wasn't in his driveway.  However, it was after dark, so we decided to do something to his house.  We'd only managed to splatter disgusting tuna all over his front step (it smells horrible and leaves an interesting stain until the next time it rains), pour out the bag of Cheerios on his front sidewalk, and dump one can of purple powdered kool-aide in his yard before a light turned on in Caleb's house.  To keep it safe, we bolted into our get-away car and drove around for a few minutes. 

It turns out, as we were pranking Caleb's house, he had just gotten home.  Thankfully, he never saw us, so we simply went to his driveway and began our real prank.  We wrapped his car in 400 feet of saran wrap and then stuck the tubes on his antenna.  We didn't have a whole lot of Saran Wrap, so we put our focus on the two front doors, tying them shut.  

I completely emptied out our tub of Vaseline and rubbed it all over the saran wrap.  400 feet of saran wrap covered in Vaseline is one disgusting mess to clean up.  (For other prankers, be sure never to purposely put Vaseline directly onto a car because it can mess up the paint.)  

Finally, Rebekah poured the second can of red Kool-Aide onto the sticky Vaseline, dying everything a sticky red color.  We also dumped two more cans of chopped tuna on top of that to make everything smell absolutely lovely. 

And there you have it.  Our first prank of the war.  It wasn't terrible, but it was intimidating, a hassle to clean up, and it looked quite funny.  Most of all, it showed Caleb that he shouldn't mess with a girl's hair.

I'll write about Caleb's failed return prank soon.
