Chapter 4: The Final Showdown

I was following Derek into his room looking for the sleeping Simon, when we got there it was time for phase one. From what Derek has told me about Simon he is a very heavy sleeper, we started going through all of his drawers looking for every piece of clothing he owned, listening to Simon's loud snores. Once we had all of his clothes in a bag, it was time for Tori's part, she cast a sleeping spell to make sure he didn't wake up during this next part, Derek was supposed to remove Simon's pajamas from his body, which only consisted of a pair of boxers; Tori and I went out into the hallway while Derek did this.

"Tori how long do we have until Simon wakes up?" I whispered.

"Probably about an hour."

"That should be long enough for Derek and I to hide his clothes while you set up the camera right?"

"It should be, as long as you and Derek can keep your hands off each other, while you're putting away the clothes," she whispered back, and I blushed.

"We can keep our hands off each other."

"Uh huh sure you can," this is when Derek walked out into the hallway, carrying a pair of Spider-man boxers.

"Derek are you sure Simon is fifteen and not five," Tori said in between laughs.

"Yes he is fifteen, but he has an obsession with cartoons, come on we have to get going," he turned to me, and held out one of hands while reaching for the bag of Simon's clothes in the other.

Derek and I walked outside, heading towards the first tree in the yard where Derek placed the first piece of clothing, a pair of socks.

"Derek do you feel even somewhat bad about what we're doing," I questioned, and Derek stopped pulling me to him grasping my face in his hands.

"Of course I do, but my brother needs to stop this craziness, or we're going to have to put him in a psychiatric hospital," then he leaned down and kissed me on the lips. It took us forever to hide all of Simon's clothes in the strangest places, making sure to only put a piece here and a piece there, never putting too many things close together. We had hid most of his boxers except for one pair which were placed tied up in a very high tree. Simon would be placed on the worst scavenger hunt of his life. When were finally done we still had a few minutes to spare, and when I wasn't looking Derek took advantage of the situation pushing me up against a tree, kissing me fiercely.

"Derek we can't we still have the last trap," I gasped in between his amazing kisses. The final trap was the best, when Simon pulled down his boxers if the trap worked correctly he would be pulled up in the tree hanging by a rope. This is where we could hopefully talk to Simon and convince his to stop all of this pranking.

"I think we can spare a minute," he said as he brushed a kiss over my collarbone, making me shiver, and moan.

"Afterward, after we end this madness then we can celebrate," I gasped.

"Fine, but one last kiss," and he then proceeded to give me a kiss that warmed me from the top of my head to the end of my toes, making me feel dizzy. When he pulled back he smirked, and chuckled at my dizzy state. I watched as Derek set the trap, and when he reached up in the air his shirt would rise giving me a glace at those perfect abs making my mind turn to mush. When I would see that little bit of stomach I had to fight the images that popped into my head, it's hard to believe how easily my mind went to the gutter.

"So Derek how did you learn to do all of this?" I stuttered trying to change the path my mind was taking.

"Would you believe boy scouts?" Derek looking at me strangely.

"No not really you were in the boy scouts?" That was really hard to believe, Derek was always more of the nerdy type.

"Yeah, Dad put Simon and me in boy scouts when we were younger, in case we ever needed it for survival skills, and I guess they have come in handy," I laughed I just couldn't see Derek in the boy scouts, earning all the badges in a khaki uniform.

"What are you laughing about?" he glared, "I was a very good boy scout, I earned a lot of badges."

"I was thinking about you in one of those little uniforms," I laughed. Derek then got this really serious look in his eyes like he was getting ready to pounce me, I started backing up and ran into a tree.

When he reached where I was standing he put his hands on either side of my head trapping me against him, and he spoke.

"You know most girls enjoy a man in uniform," he huskily whispered in my ear, then sucked on the spot right on the hollow of my ear, causing one of those growls only he can make me do to bubble up, and Derek smirked.

"Admit it Chloe, you might would like seeing me in something like that," and kissed me licking my bottom lip in the process causing me to moan. With his powerful kisses and the way he was pressed up against me I couldn't help the image that came into my head Derek in a police uniform...no Chloe do not go there. He was trying to make my mind turn to mush, and it was working, he moved his hand placing it on my hip, and I felt it slide up under the hem of my shirt.

"Chloe I know your mind it's thinking about what I'm saying whether you like it or not," he chuckled. When he stopped to kiss my neck I forced out one barely coherent word.

"Jerk-" and I felt him chuckle and smirk into my neck, " Derek we probably need to stop," I mumbled.

"Do we have too," I felt him whisper into my hair.

"If we want to see the results of all are hard work...yeah we do," I breathed as I felt my heart start to slow down.

"Fine, but we'll finish this later," he gave me one last smoldering look, causing me to gulp, and we started back to the house.

We barely made it back to the house.

"Where have you two been, he starting to wake up," Tori then looked at and said, "You know what I don't want to know, I told you Chloe that you can't keep your hands off each other," she whispered.

"Well we're here now, so shut up Tori," Derek said.

"Did you get the camera set up?" I asked.

"Yup we're ready to go we just have to wait." It wasn't long after that when we heard the distinct sounds of Simon waking up, it was about eight o'clock in the morning. We heard him pad around the room, and then he stopped.

"What the crap?" We heard him say, then there was a lot of drawers opening and closing. "DEREK, CHLOE, TORI WHAT DID YOU DO WITH ALL OF MY CLOTHES," we heard him yell, and we started to laugh.

"You'll have to find them Simon," Derek said.

"Argh," he yelled, and the door flew open revealing a very naked, ticked Simon, then the camera flashed, and I blushed, but after what he had done to us I couldn't help to laugh, even though I felt bad. When he took in all of laughing at him he tore off down the hallway.

"None of your clothes are in the house," Derek yelled after him as we took off behind his streaking figure. We followed Simon out of the house, and found him reaching up to grab his socks, quickly sliding them on, before taking off into the woods. He ran around finding different pieces of clothes a shirt here a jacket, that he tied around his waist trying to hide his mad hood. Finally he had put on most of his clothes which except for underwear. He was still running around the woods when he reached the big trap that Derek had set, so he reached up grabbed the boxers, and the trap worked perfectly. Simon was hanging by his feet in the tree.

"Simon we didn't want to do this, but you left us no choice, three heads are better than one, and this needs to stop," Derek spoke.

"So how about, a truce Simon," I asked him.

"What I can't believe is that you would do this to me," Simon said.

"You left us no choice, we had to prove to you that all of together can out smart you," Derek spoke to his brother.

"Simon, I promise that if you make a truce with us I'll make sure the pictures are deleted," I said.

"Chloe-" Tori hissed, and I put my hand out to stop her.

"After this I think I just need to up my game," Simon said.

"Well then we wont let you down until you agree," Derek countered.

"You wouldn't leave me here."

"Watch me, come on guys," and we started to walk away when we heard Simon call us back.

"Fine I will stop pranking you guys, I mean you have already took away pretty much every bit of dignity I had," he whined.

"You promise," I asked.

"I promise Chloe, Derek, and Tori, I will stop the pranks if you delete the pictures."

"Deal," Derek said then proceeded to let Simon down from the tree.

When Simon was down from the tree he pouted,and headed back to the house I was getting ready to walk back too, when Tori stopped me.

"You know Chloe wasn't Simon pretty small for his age?" Tori questioned, and I blushed.

"Tori I am not really trying to think about it," I laughed.

"Whatever," and she started back to the house, I was going to follow her when I felt two arms grab me around the waist.

"We won," he whispered in my ear, and started brushing kisses up and down my neck.

"Mmhmm," I hummed.

"So do you want to celebrate, or are you no longer attracted to me now that you have seen all of Simon," Derek chuckled.

"Trust me, Simon is not the one I like," I said the he turned me around in his arms and kissed me, "and from what I've seen you, you are much more attractive than Simon," I whispered when we broke apart for air.

"Good-"and we ended in that same position from earlier, I was backed up against a tree again, and I wrapped my legs around Derek's waist. We kissed forever, and I couldn't think, every time he kisses me my brain cells die. He sucked on my neck, and I'm sure there will be evidence of that later, but I didn't care. I could tell he was happy all this business with Simon was over, and he was right we did celebrate, kissing each other without interruption.
