"Well... We're screwed..." Serena says.
"Why's that? She's getting it for you." Hikari inquires.
"She may as well be the love goddess. Not a single match is made in this village without her knowing, she even sets most of them up." Serena replies.
"Yup... We should all run..." Iskandor says, revealing himself from the kitchen. "Run and prepare a counter attack..."
"So, you're suggesting a prank war?" Hikari asks.
"Yeah, why the hell not. We may as well have some fun before I set out, of course you all are free to join me for my little adventure." Iskandor says before diving out a window.
"This seems a little extreme for just a mistletoe..." Hikari states, following Iskandor.
"I'm gonna give my first kiss on my own terms." Iskandor replies, tossing a rake behind him for Lar to hit herself with.
***************
"Damn, must have lost him!" Lar says.
"Team up against those two?" Serena says from under the couch.
"Sure." Lar replies as Serena rolls from underneath.
"Just no mistletoe nonsense."
"Fine, Serena, we have a deal"
***************
"Hikari, Lar is ruthless in her pranks, got 'me' so good that 'I' surrendered the prank war, not again." Iskandor states.
"Perhaps issue a truce to set terms of winning for the prank war?" Hikari suggests.
"Good idea, let's get stuff ready first, just so we can be prepared." Iskandor replies.
***************
An hour later...
"Lar, let's set some wagers for this prank war. Make things more interesting." Iskandor says from across the table.
"Alright, but before we set wagers let's establish a perimeter as to where the prank war is active, how extreme the pranks can be and so on." Lar replies.
"The prank war shall only be active on our property as to not be a nuisance to the townspeople. We can not do any damage to the house or property of any of the participants. And finally, no mistletoes." Iskandor states, feeling the rules are reasonable.
"So, how will one win the prank war?" Hikari asks.
"You don't until you are pranked so bad there is no coming back." Serena states.
"So, if I hypothetically lose to Lar, she could get something from me. If I beat Hikari then I could get something." Iskandor elaborates. "Also, not relationship changing nonsense, if things are going to happen I would like them to be on my own terms."
"Fine, Serena, what do you want if you beat one of us?" Lar asks.
"If I beat you, Lar I would like an additional week of free food, if I beat Hikari she can be my maid for a week and if I beat Iskandor I would like to join this little adventure that was brought up." Serena says.
"I thought we were a team?!" Lar exclaims.
"Not any more!" Serena replies.
"Serena, if you will be like that I'll take you as a maid if I beat you I'll have you be MY maid for a week, if I beat Lar... I guess a week worths of free food, so that way it only applies to when I'd need to pay it. And Iskandor, training maybe?" Hikari states.
"Ladies, if I beat either of you you shall hear my request then, away from prying eyes and ears. And Iskandor, if I beat you, you shall obey 3 orders, very simple orders that you will come to know after this prank war has it's conclusion." Lar adds.
"If I win... All of you will come with me on my journey, as it seems you already want to do so, you shall endure training, including myself. And, I request, not demand, for an audience with each of you individually. Also, look down." Iskandor says, jumping out the window, again. A smoke bomb firing behind him.
"So that's what he was working on..." Hikari states.
