Dylan was walking along the third floor, when he decided he wanted to do some sort of fun here. He had mentioned to Laura that he wanted to do something here, would she turn up? He knew that she would cause there was no way that she could pass up on this, but he didnt know what he wanted to do for this so maybe Laura had some ideas for this so he leaned against the wall thinking what to do as well as waiting to see if Laura could help with this.

Laura had her bag full of flour and she had also brought her make-up bag with her because she had decided on the best prank ever, she was going to get Dylan to play as a ghost and maybe try and trick Peeves if he was about somewhere, it would be awesome if she could get one up on that ghost or maybe even a Professor.

Laura suddenly spotted Dylan and smirked, well she was going to pay him back for not telling him about the poster he had made, she had found out from someone else, he could have at least come and found her, she took the flour out of her bag and dumped it all over his head. "Stand Still now Dylan I want to make you look like a ghost." Laura giggled, seriously this was going to be really funny.

Susan was walking around...once again she was lost. Would she ever get use to this castle. Well hopefully she would run into to someone who could help her. Susan thought she heard someone down the hall a little bit and was hoping it wasn't a ghost..they creeped her out a little bit.

"AAHHHH!!!!" It was a ghost but not one she recognized...she was about to head the other way when she noticed there was a girl standing next to the ghost. Wait that ghost wasn't a ghost..it was DJ. "What are you two doing?" Susan asked curiously...it looked like they were doing something fun and interesting. Maybe should could help...if they wanted her too.

He was just standing there deep in thought and didnt even heard Laura coming, but the next thing he knew he was having some sort of powder chucked on him. "Wha...." was all he managed before he started coughing as the powder went into his system. He looked to see who it was and saw that it was Laura, who said he wanted him to look like a ghost. But.. he was supposed to be helping in having fun in all this and suddenly he was supposed to be the ghost? He looked at as she stood there giggling,, oh she thought this was funny now? oh wait til he got her back for it!

He was about to yell at her with what voice he had left when he heard another girl scream and looked round to see who it was and saw that it was Susan who was next asking them what they were doing "Nothing! " cough cough "Laura here... just.. chucked" cough cough "Some stuff on me.. now what was that for Laura?" cough "I thought we were working together on some fun" cough "Not against each other" cough cough cough.. man this stuff was really getting him coughing.. he really needed to get it all out before he got any worse. Susan would help him out, he knew that.. they were friends now right.. so Susan would be on his side on this one.

Laura looked as a little girl came up-to them, so this was Dylan's new friend. "Hello, I'm Laura Hope Hyde." Laura smiled at the girl as she put the empty wrapped back in her bag and took out her make-up bag. "Want to help me with this?" Laura smiled at the girl, it was going to be awesome.

"Dylan of course your involved in this." Laura smiled. "If we succeed we will have done something no one has ever done before." Laura giggled. "So maybe you have to look like a girl ghost to do it but at least you'll go down in history." Laura smiled at her friend. "Do you want pink or red lipstick on?" Laura hoped that Dylan wouldn't kill her for this, but it would be worth it in the end.

Susan smiled at Laura...she looked like she was having some fun with DJ. Oh yeah, she was definitely going to help. [b]"Hey Laura, I'm Susan Bones."[b] Susan would offer her hand but Laura looked a little busy. "Oh I would love to help you with it."

Susan gave DJ a wide big smile, he was going to look so pretty. "I think red would look awesome!!! Don't you DJ."

He looked between Laura and Susan as Laura introduced herself to the little firstie, and Susan herself introduced herself to Laura. Oh no.. oh no.. Minnie was not going to be happy that Susan has now met Laura. What if she got Susan into trouble? then it would be him that Minnie would be chasing.. oh boy this was not good .. not good at all! Wait a minute! did Laura just ask Susan if she wanted to help "Dont listen to her Susan.. she is just touble" he said trying to warn Susan not to side with the older puff. He knew what she was like.. she had taught him a bit.. all that food fighting and the banner last term.. that was all her idea. Pelting fruits was his.. but that was all her!

He looked at Laura as she said that he was involved in all this, he wondered what she meant. He then continued listening as Laura explained what her plan was.. well not exactly.. just sort of what the end result was going to be. "Whats that?" cough cough.. he asked her wondering what her mind was cooking up now. A WHAT?!! Oh no!! that was not what he was planning to do "A GIRL GHOST! " he then looked round to make sure no-one else was there "Are you nuts!!!?" cough cough cough.. he asked her.. well kinda ALMOST yelled at her. "I dont want to go down in history for that!!!" he said hoping that at least Susan would stop her.. please Susan.. she is going nuts please stop her "Neither!" he said in response to her question.

He then looked at Susan.. she would help him right? His eyes went wide as she said she would love to help.. WHAT?!! When had the two girls come together to go against him.. he then looked at Susan with wider eyes as she picked a color for him "No.. no I dont .. Susan.. dont listen to her.. she is a troublemaker." he then looked at Laura.. "Laura.. no lipstick.. dont listen to Susan.. she doesnt know you like I do.. now put that lipstick away.. dont do it!" he practically begged her cause there was no way that he was going to look like a girl ghost.. no way!! He then started to back away.. no way was a girl going to put lipstick oh HIM!

Laura smiled at Susan. "Nice to meet you Susan." Laura then went into her bag and smiled when Susan gave her a colour choice, "You know what Susan I will let you have the honors." Laura handed the girl the lipstick. "Now stand still Dylan" Laura had suddenly seen that Dylan was backing away from them, "and let Susan finish making you an awesome ghost and then we can see if we can trick peeves into following you around." Laura giggled it would be fun if they could.

Susan was going to have so much fun with this. I would be honored." Oh this was just too much fun. Susan knew Dj was going to get her back for this but it was soooo worth it.

"Oh come on DJ, it's just a litte lipstick, it will wash off." Susan started stepping towards DJ slowly in case he decided to bolt. Oh ya, this was so much fun. "If you move too much it would will be all over your face instead of just your lips."

Ofim was wandering around the huge castle because he was super bored.

Oh, what were these kids up to he wondered as he came up to the third floor corridor and saw a few kids up to what looked like SHENANIGANS!

He enjoyed shenanigans.

"Hello... he said to the kids

Nice to meet her? nice to meet her? she is a little kid! and here was Laura teaching her the wrong things.. oh boy Minnie was going to not leave him alone for this! If not the professor.. the Minnie would surely not leave him alone! He then watched in horror as Laura gave Susan the lipstick and told her she could have the honors. "No.. no Susan.. you dont want to do that" he said backing away as Laura told him to stand still and let Susan apply the lipstick. Susan was honored? she was honored? what?!! what had happened here.. she was supposed to be an innocent firstie! "I dont want Peeves following me around!" he said backing up still until he had backed up right against the wall with nowhere to go. Two girls on either side no means of escape!

He looked at Susan as she said it was just a little lipstick and that it will wash off as she stepped towards him, and told him not to move too much. Who was this girl? she was certainly not the Susan he had met on the platform not that long ago! He was against the wall as Susan continued advancing towards him, and he saw Laura on the other side looking quite pleased with herself. He was wondering what to do now, he had no way out when he heard someone talk to them. Oh boy.. who was this? he looked about his or Susan's age. He would go call a professor yeah? Save Dylan from this mess.. he looked at Laura and Susan as this new kid entered the corridor

When Susan heard someone else talk she got startled and dropped the tube of lipstick. She looked and saw it was Ofim, she met him ion the train with Min. He was looking for his rat. Susan hurriedly picked up the lipstick again and slid her eyes to Laura and mouthed "What now?"

Sue then turned back to Ofim, but still standing in front of DJ so he couldn't try to escape why they were distracted. "Hey Ofim, what are up to? These are my friends Dj and Laura" Susan turned back around to Dj and Lauran "This is Ofim, we met on the train" Susan was silently praying that Ofim wouldn't take off running and tell on them.

Ofim knew these guys were up to something.. and he wanted to know what exactly.

He recognized Susan from the train earlier just as she was able to speak to him. "Hello Susan.. nice to meet you other two." he said with a nod.

"So... what are you guys up to?" he asked curiously as he bounced on the heels of his feet.

Laura looked around at them all and giggled. "Come on Susan you have him in a corner now." Laura couldn't believe that Dylan wasn't playing fair with his trying to run there was nothing wrong with wearing a bit of lipstick, she smiled as another boy came over. "Hi." Laura smiled at him, hoping he wouldn't tell on them, well they weren't doing anything wrong, Dylan was just getting dressed up for his date and they were helping him, that was all. "He's all your now Susan." Laura really thought this was funny.

Susan smiled at Laura...oh yeah she was awesome. Susan started to put the lipstick on DJ...as long as he held still he would look perfect for peeves. Sue thought Dj would great with a wig....maybe blonde.

Sue then smiled at Luara "Is there anything else you wanted to add to "dress" him up?"

Laura looked at Susan and giggled. "He looks cool." Laura smiled, seriously though Dylan was going to kill them both for this wasn't he, well she didn't care he would see the funny side of these when they showed him the mirror, she listened to Susan and smiled, she would say skirt but that would be a bit mean. "What do you think he needs?" Yeah kiddo you had earned the chance to add something to him.

Sue knew she would have to watch her back from here on out after this. DJ didn't look happy and knew he would eventually get her back. Well Susan thought she mind as well get the best out of this while she could.

Sue tapped her finger to her chin thinking what else she could add to DJ. "I think he would look super cute in a blonde wig...or maybe red. No I like blonde...it will go well with the red lipstick." Sue let out a giggle as she said this...she couldn't help it...this was just too funny.

Dylan looked at the kid that had arrived as Susan introduced them all, Dylan just gave a nod to say Hi cause he was too busy staring at that lipstick that Susan held within her hands. He heard the boy ask what they were upto, Dylan hoped that telling him would make Ofim want to help him… right? “They are putting lipstick on me! A boy! Boys don’t wear lipstick!” he said hoping he would help him out.

Dylan was all whosenow? Oh.. right Susan.. lipstick.. nowhere to run.. he was in trouble now! He tried to avoid the lipstick but he was backed up against a wall and couldn’t move too much, so he had the lipstick put onto him. He would have wiped it off but he was stunned so this didn’t come to mind, he looked at Laura as she asked what he needed “Nothing… nothing more is needed!” cause he was now afraid of what they were going to add next.

He then heard Susan talk about a wig “I would look what in a whatnow?” he said getting even more worried now, it would look good with the lipstick “No.. no.. no wig is needed.. please guys! Come on.. this is enough now!” he wondered what else he would have to endure at the hands of these two, after the fun he had shown Susan she was now doing this to him he would have to have a talk with her later cause this was not right!

Laura looked at Susan and sighed. "I don't have a wig." Laura was really sorry to say that, she hadn't brought one and then she looked at Dylan and stopped what she was doing. "You alright there Dylan?" Laura had a nasty feeling that Dylan was going to pay her back for this and she was sure she would have to watch hers and Susan's back because he didn't seem happy.

"You know the lipstick does suit you." Laura giggled as she gave Dylan a hug, "Come on Dylan stop being a spoiled sport." Laura wasn't happy with Dylan now, he was ruining there grand plan though maybe they should give him a hanky to wipe the lipstick of him even if it did suit him. "What do you think Susan?"

He looked at Laura, then the new kid Ofim.. he didnt want the new kid to think that these two were naturally like this.. well Laura was but she did it to other people not him usually. So he through gritted teeth "Im just fine" See Ofim they can be friendly when they want to be and right now they werent being too friendly, but he would see that they could be.

He looked at Laura and raised his eyebrows "What?" he said as she giggled and gave him a hug.. ugh.. how he hated hugs but being against the wall he couldnt exactly escape it so he let her hug him. You got lucky Laura, that was your first and final hug. "I am not being a spoiled sport!" he said to her, he wasnt! Its just he wasnt expecting all of this, when he had wanted to have fun he hadnt meant it like this. But they seemed to be having fun.. well minus him anyways "How long do you expect Peeves to be following me?" he asked without thinking, and looked down at his shoes, as if he hadnt realised he had said it out loud before looking up at the two girls and Ofim

Well Dj was definitely not liking this idea, but it was totally awesome. Sue knew Peeves was a trouble maker and she thought it would be really funny if they could pull a prank on him.

Then DJ just blurted out their plan with Ofim standing right there....was he crazy! No Ofim could tell on them. Susan had no idea on what to do know "Um... Susan leaned over an whispered into Laura ear "What do we do know?....Ofim could tell a professor what we are going to do." Susan didn't want the plan to be ruined...she wanted to go through with it since they would never be able to get DJ looking like this again.

Laura looked at Susan and whispered. "I think we had better watch ourselves with Dylan, he'll get us back for this." Laura handed Susan the blonde wig she had found at the bottom of her bag. "Will this do?" Laura smiled, Dylan would look awesome, this dress up game was fun.

"Dylan only until we are sure he is fooled by you." Laura smiled at her friend, she had got a hug of him which was awesome, she knew how much he hated them. "I'll let you do something cool with me latter." Laura was sure Dylan was starting to like this idea.

Laura then looked to Susan as she started to whisper to Susan. "Well we could..." Laura stopped and decided that it was time to give her new trouble-maker friend a chance to decided what happens. "Actually Susan I think you should have the honors of deciding." Laura was really enjoying herself.

He saw Susan whispering something into Laura's ear, and he was wondering what she was whispering about. He wanted to know outright what her plan was, what was Susan planning without him? He couldnt believe it Susan planning things without him and with Laura instead! when had the tables turned so suddenly? He had no idea! He then saw Laura whispering back.. what were those two talking about? He was now heavily wondering when these two had become partners in all this, was it during their common room hang outs or something? Maybe he should have been a puff.. umm.. maybe not.. instead.. Susan.. should have been a lion.. yeah! much better plan!

He then saw the wig come out of Laura's bag, he just stared at it stunned not knowing what to say.. that blonde.. thing! on top of his nice.. hair.. oh boy.. this was going to be weird. He knew that he had to go through with this cause he had nowhere to run, she even asked Susan if it would do! He knew what Susan was going to say now that she had teamed up with Laura! He and Susan would most definitely be talking about this.. for sure! Oh yes! Susan.. meet him soon.. there was a talk to be had!

Until they were sure? "But how will you know that? and how long exactly would that take?" cause it would not look good if his fellow lions saw him with a wig, lipstick and Merlin knows what else on him, walking around. Ugh she knew how much he hated those.. but she was lucky! She had better not go around telling people to back him up against the wall so that they could get a hug out of him cause that would be just wrong and not cool. NOW she was talking ".. Anything?" cause if she said yes.. she was promising him that he could do anything to her later... and he was sure he could come up with a few ideas of his own.

Whispering again? what was it with the whispering going on? HolywhatinMerlinsSocks was going on? Laura was telling Susan she could decide what was going to happen to him next? well whatever it was Susan had to decide next.. he wondered what she would be choosing next.. him in a dress? with a handbag/purse? or something more like tights or heels on his feet? he sure hoped not cause that was going to be right torture! walking around like that? oh he sure hoped that no other lion saw him if he did end up like that! Oh Merlin.. do help him!

Alyssa was almost out of breath after running up the stairs. She had remembered that this corridor held both armors and portraits, so here she was continuing her quest to find the portrait that hid the secret passageway that linked to the blank portrait in the room that was to the left of the staff table.

Like before, she called out to the portraits to let them know that they would be either getting their behinds, or their tummy or their face or their forehead or their eyes tapped on. "Hello everybody, I don't know whether anyone has tapped on you yet but if they have, I want to apologize and say that I'll be doing it to you again. I'm looking for a secret passageway that one of you might be hiding behind you." she told the portraits before she stepped up to the first one in the row and took out her wand.

Locating the center of the portrait, which unfortunately was the behind of a lady, she began the tapping sequence on the canvas...TAP...TAP...TAP from the center upwards.....all the time, hearing the lady squeal as she moved up her body...before tapping two times across...TAP...TAP..."Okay I'm all done, Ma'am." Alyssa apologized and thanked the lady in the portrait. She waited to see whether the canvas of the portrait would rip but nothing happened.

Alyssa sighed. 'Okay I guess I'm going to have to continue down the row.' she thought to herself. So she moved on to the next portrait. This time the center of the canvas was the chest of a dog. TAP.......aaarfff the dog barked when she tapped its neck......TAP.....grrrrr...growled the dog when she tapped his muzzle....TAP.....Yelp...yelped the dog...as she tapped its eye..."Sorry I'm almost done." Alyssa apologized to the dog as she tapped her way up the canvas with her wand before tapping two across...TAP...TAP!

This time, Alyssa didn't wait to see whether the canvas would rip. She quickly stepped over to the next portrait and repeated the tapping process before moving on to the next portrait and the next and the next. Alyssa knew that she was running out of time, so once she was done tapping the portraits despite their passionate protests, Alyssa bowed and thanked all of them before running on to the next group of portraits in the castle.
