Green blues flutter open, the morning sun streams in through the window. His long thin body lays upon the bed as if a sacrifice to the sun god, that is until he literally rolls out of the bed. Slender fingers are brought through dark locks as the other hand scratches a bare stomach.
Today was a normal day as if any other, however he had that feeling. That feeling that if he did not do something worth while the day would just waste away.
Now, what to do...

Tilt of his head to the left as he ponders such a thought. Green blues hold the key within. Fingers play along the waistband of his blue and green striped boxers.
He had the idea, a small one at that. But to start a good prank, one needs to think small. Let it grow, into something beautiful.
His lips curl ever so lovingly upon his face, the dimples present themselves.
To the wooden dresser, and from it he pulls out a blue-tee, and kahki pants. Within moments he is dressed and on his way through the door.

To the kitchen.
Aha! Green blues light up at the sight of the paper towels he so needs.
Flour, where did Rosie keep the flour?
Long slender index finger brought to his thin lips, gives it a small tap.
Those green blue orbs make contact with a jar, rather large white jar with little flowers on it. Interesting. Was flour held inside, a chuckle is brought up from his throat at that.
Why yes, flour was indeed inside.
He makes his way to the sink wetting at least a dozen paper towel sheets, and then placing a handful of flour inside.
Rubberbands brought out from the drawer beside the sink and he wraps them tightly around the little presents.
Flour-bombs successfully made.
Of course he would never cause such damage inside Rosie's kitchen, so his large hands gather the flour bombs up and goes through the back door.


Outside, he waits.

It was a little past noon and Dean finally stirred in the bed. He groans and turns over in the bed, arm laid out across the opposite side where Rosie was no longer. She always seemed to be up at the crack of dawn and let him sleep in. What an angel.
But even at noon he didn't really want to get up, but he knew he had to.
He had a job to do, he had just been hired to paint eight paintings, by a gentleman by the name of Mr.White.


Today he needed to go and buy the supplies, and even find a few new inspirations. So he threw the silk sheets to the side and lifted his body out of the comfortable bed. A light groan as he slammed back down on the pillow. Just another hour of sleep..what could it hurt.

A deep sigh and he once again raised from the bed and stumbled on over to the dresser. Pulled out some paint stained pants and his black tank, sliding them both on and making his way to the bathroom.
Teeth brushed, hair combed and cologne on.

Out he went to the hallway, he would be getting breakfast out today. Maybe even run into his girl.

He grabbed the keys from the little keyholder on the wall next to the door and out he went.
Unsuspecting as usual.

A cougar hidden in the bush is what Gage was at this very moment.
His baby blue shirt holds the flower bombs, as he sits beside the porch hidden behind the large shrubs.
He has been waiting at least half an hour for this very moment, he hears the door slowly open. Green blue eyes peek slowly around the shrub just in time to see Dean turning to lock the door on his way out.
Two flour bombs in each large hand, cradled as if they were nothing but small babes.
He was having a hard time containing his laughter, this was going to be priceless. It had been so long since he had pranked his friend and it was about time to get started again. How he missed it!
As Dean hops down the steps, Gage raises from the shrub. Aim for the head, and torso. Fire! Bam! Bam! Bam! One right after another. Gage even jumps up to hit him where it counts.
The flour bomb shower crashes all around Dean.
Maniacal laughter coming up from Gage's throat as he watches Dean scramble to get away.
Bomb after bomb thrown at Dean, flour flying on the green grass, some of the porch but mostly Dean.
Reaching back to the little pocket he has made of his baby blue shirt, he pulls the last flour bomb from it.
Aims, and fires at Dean.

Out the door, quickly turning around and locking the lock with the key that he slipped down in his pocket as he hopped down the steps. Even a whistle coming out of his mouth as he did so.
He was sure today was going to be a nice day to be out, it wasn't too hot and yet not cold. Just right.

But then suddenly he was hit in the head by something, something that oozed white chalky powder?!
Dean did the only thing he knew, start batting away at whatever it was and run for cover. I mean come on what would you do? Suddenly little balls of chalk are falling from the air, would you sit and take it? I think not.

He tried his best to run, but they kept hitting him. One right after the other it seemed! One even hitting him in the mouth and he tasted it...was that flour..

Then it seemed the assualt stopped, which gave him just enough time to glance towards the direction of these little flour missiles.
Eyes widen as he saw Gage, who was reloading! Ready to throw another at him. As it came flying at his face he fell to the ground, but it didn't help the little ball of flour hit him right on the nose. Exploding into his face and causing one hell of a sneeze to come out as well.


"GAGE!" His usual soft voice now boomed out of him. His upper body covered in white powder, small globs sticking here and there from the parts that had little bits of water mixed in. The look on his face was indeed priceless but if Gage had any sense he wouldn't stick around to see it.

As that last flour bomb hit Dean in the face Gage falls to the ground laughing. This was the most fun he has had since he came to Rhydin. After all from the beginning it had been all work and no play, so it was about time some good stuff happens.
He knows that after all of this he better be on guard. Dean would get him back he has no doubts about that.
And remains on the ground, his green blue eyes take in the blue sky. His dimples even more noticeable.
Until Dean's yell cause him to sit straight up, a shake of his head causing the dark locks to fall before his green blue eyes. A casual glance towards Dean.
"Uh oh." Green blue eyes widen at the look of death.
His large hands push on the ground as he lifts his body off of it and up, a turn of his heals and he bolts down the road.

"You are going to get it!" He yelled after Gage, as he watched him run down the road. Thinking better then to run after him.
Here he was covered in flour and goop. His face and head got the brunt of the attack and he was wiping it away with both his hands.
He chuckled lightly, he had to admit the kid got him. But he was going to get him back, and he might just bring a certain little redhead into the equation.

Back up the steps, pulling the key from his pocket and unlocking the door he headed inside to get cleaned up once again. Gage just better not show up anytime soon, he was more then ready to take that kid down.

This is the start of a war...

Later that evening, she and Dean had met up at a local cafe and had a quiet little dinner. He told Rosie about Gage's prank. She slid her hand across the table and took his hand in hers. "Let me help you get even, please? He'll have to learn that if he messes with one Santiago, he gets the entire family."

He grinned and agreed to allowing her in on the plot. Two heads were better than one, right?

She told him of a prank that the senior class did to the freshmen almost every year at the institute. "It'll bring us tears, Cookie Monster. But they'll be worth it!"

A wicked gleam in her eyes as they pay the bill and head out to the market. They had some special ingredients to buy...

"Babe, what about this one?" She holds up a tiny little pepper, red in color, triangular shaped. "It's called a habanero."

She places a few of them into a bag and pays the vendor. As she turns away from the stall she laces her fingers with Dean's. "I have the rest of what we need at home. Let's go play." A wicked gleam and she tugs his hand, eager to get where they're going.

Once at the house she makes her way into the kitchen to set their plan into motion. She mixes up a batch of brownies and sets them to baking in the oven. She leaves Dean to be the look out in case Gage returned early from his duties at the Deli.

Grabbing a bowl, it's time to make the secret recipe frosting. She places a stick of butter, some sugar, cocoa powder, and a few other things in the bowl and begins to blend them with her stand mixer. Typical chocolate flavored icing, right? Well....

While she waits for the brownies to bake, she makes her way out to the living room. Cuddle time with Dean was always nice, especially now that they didn't have the house all to themselves.

The timer rings for the oven and she pulls out of Dean's arms and heads to the kitchen, leaving him with a kiss to the cheek. Into the kitchen she goes and pulls the door to the oven open and removes the brownies. She sits them on the stove top to cool. Time to add the secret ingredient to the frosting. Reaching up on a shelf, she pulls down her mortar and pestle, then delicately drops the habanero peppers into it.

She carries the small bowl around the kitchen with her, gently mashing the contents with the heavy marble pestle. The pungent aroma itself was enough to bring tears to her eyes. As she set the bowl down on the counter next to the stand mixer, you'd think she was attending a funeral.

She peeks out into the living room and gives Dean a teary eyed grin. All's clear, she's good to go. Back to the stand mixer, into the dark gooeyness goes the red powdered habanero. She beats it well and then lets it set up.

Once the brownies have cooled, she spreads the frosting on smoothly and evenly. She cuts them into squares and places them on a plate covered by a doily from the Deli that she's written a small note on.

Leaving the plate on the kitchen table, she walks out into the living room. "Let's hope he takes the bait."

It was the next day that Gage finally came back home, he did not want to face Dean yesterday after the "incident". He camped out at a local Hostel for the night, met a lovely young girl. Anyway, he was back home. Long slinder fingers pull the key from his pocket, key slides into the lock and turns it. The click and he pushes the door open ever so slowly. It must of been around six in the morning so he knew that they would be asleep or at least should be.
Through the door, he keeps on his toes...quiet.
His back pushes the door to a close as he then sighs with relief, so far it seems they have forgotten all about yesterday?
Green blues find the brownies on the table, a curl of the corner of his lips.
Peace offering? Boy Dean was getting old if he could not even get him back. So with a lift of his shoulders in a gentle shrug he unwraps the plate and takes one into his hand.
Brought to his thin lips, they part to accept the tasty morning morsel.
And being early, he has not eaten yet, he takes a rather large bite from it.
It took moments, and I do mean moments for it to hit him.
His eyes water, his tongue begins to ache, and finally he realizes something is awfully wrong with these brownies!
"What the?!"He was on fire! He runs for the sink, he needs something to put out the fire in his mouth!

((OOC I got my storylines mixed up a bit. Please pardon the very slight correction. Thank you and enjoy the story. -Rosiemun))

As always, Rosie got up with the crack of dawn. She wasn't a heavy sleeper so she knew that Gage had not come home during the night. So she slips out of bed and puts on her bathrobe and bunny slippers.


Heading out of her bedroom, she heard him come in the back door and a smirk tugs the corner of her mouth. She rises slowly from the couch and tip toes over to the kitchen, staying just on the outside of the doorway. Watching his every move very carefully.

She coached him in her head. "Yes... pick up the brownie... c'mon, take a bite... YES!!" She giggles and walks into the kitchen as he bolts for the sink. She knew that water or milk would only spread the heat infused oils of the peppers, but she lets him suffer that much longer before she speaks.

"That should make up for the bombs."

She picks up the loaf of bread on the table and holds it out to him. This'll help.
