Prompt: Alex Rider. Tom Harris. Easter is around the corner and Jack wants them to help her decorate Easter eggs. Sadly they missed the memo about approved motives. The arrival of K-Unit doesn't really help matters.
"ALEX! TOM! ARE YOU TWO COMING?" Jack yelled up the stairs. Jack's question was responded by a set of thudding steps running down the stairs before the two boys appeared in front of her.
"Harris and Rider reporting for duty, ma'am!" Tom replied saluting her, with Alex, matching grins on their faces, rivaling the Chesire Cat's.
"The eggs are ready for us to decorate. Do you two remember the rules?"
"Yep! Don't eat them," Tom started.
"Don't break them," Alex continued.
"Eggs are for eating not juggling."
"Don't write mean things about Blunt or Jones on them."
"And don't pelt K-Unit with them!" They finished together. Jack sighed.
"Off you two go then," she told them. Little did she know or notice that they forgot one rule. Possibly the most important of all: What motives were already approved by her.
Jack supervised the decoration of the eggs, doing some expertly herself, before leaving to answer a ringing phone.
"Hey, Alex. Can you make some of these eggs explosive?" Tom whispered.
"Of course I can, Tom. I'll mark them with an E," Alex replied.
The two of them went on decorating eggs as innocently as they could so Jack wouldn't suspect anything. The continued the charade until the phone rang and Jack left to answer it. Tom grabbed a wax crayon, drawing with a fervor on several eggs, not putting the into the dye just yet. Alex on the other hand had somehow managed to inject half of his eggs with dye and other unknowns, before writing a large E on them, followed by smaller, a,s,t,e, and r's to disguise the large, capital E. Jack stormed in a few minutes later.
"Alex. One of your friends is coming over in about an hour, that was them on the phone. Ben Daniels, I think."
"Great..." Alex murmured to himself before whispering to Tom, "K-Unit is coming."
Alex and Tom managed to hide their mischief until Jack announced it was time to dye the eggs. The boys chose their colors and dyed them, waiting until the colours were the proper vibrancy. Unfortunately Jack saw the outcome.
"TOM HARRIS! WHAT ARE THESE!?" Jack shouted.
"Easter eggs..."
"With what on them? Why are there two boxes on top of each other?"
"Those aren't boxes! Those are two horses humping each other!*" Tom replied indignantly.
"Why?!"
"Because inspiration struck me," Tom replied grinning. Jack sighed.
"Alex yours are minimally better. You wrote Easter on half of them and dyed them red, yellow, and orange. Not very creative but better than Tom's." Before Alex could defend himself the doorbell rang and Jack stormed off to answer the door. Alex grinned.
"That'll be K-Unit now."
The two boys sat, concealing their excitement when Jack came back tailing four full grown soldiers and a spy.
"Cub! Who's your friend? Nice house!" Eagle greeted. Alex sighed.
"Who gave him candy?" Ales demanded.
"Bobcat. Apparently we forgot to tell him the rule that Eagle is not to have any sugar," Ben replied.
"I didn't know. He told me it was fine!" Bobcat moaned.
"Bobcat, it's EAGLE we're talking about. Of course he'll say it's fine. If the Sergeant was here right now you'd be on punishment duty," Wolf reprimanded.
"How many times do I need to say sorry?"
Alex laughed before Eagle zeroed in on the Easter Eggs.
"Cool! Easter Eggs! Are those two horses humping each other?"
"YES! Finally, somebody understands my genius!" Tom exclaimed.
"Hey, Wolf. Catch!" It was at this moment Eagle tossed one of Alex's Easter eggs at Wolf, and Wolf, being a good little soldier caught the egg. And then it exploded. Wolf was now covered in hard-boiled eggs pieces and colorful shells.
"EAGLE!"
"ALEX!"
"EASTER EGG FIGHT!"
With that everyone went for Alex's Easter eggs. The unlucky ones settled for Jack's and Tom's as consolation prizes. As everyone ran for cover, people had their primary targets. Wolf's was Eagle, Jack's was Tom, Ben's was Bobcat and Alex, Snake's was Bobcat, Eagle's was who ever he saw, and Alex was who ever gave him the best advantage.
Ten Minutes, five explosions, sixteen yells, and one laughing, later.
"STOP!" Alex yelled.
"Why?" Eagle demanded pouting.
"Because if we are going to have an Easter egg fight. One there should be more ammunition. And two, more importantly, We should do it on the holiday."
"So in a week?"
Alex carefully packed the eggs in a carton, before placing them in the fridge and turning around.
"Eagle, relax. The fight will be soon. It's not Easter yet."
