"But... we're Head Boy and Girl," she said almost guiltily. It was the second time in a week she had used that excuse to dismiss bad behavior. The first time, she had been teasing. This time, not so much. With the title came great responsibility and with that responsibility, the perfect cover for any wrong doing.
Dang, she was starting to think like her brother...
"We could do it really quickly, early in the morning when things are pretty dead anyway," she said, shifitng gears slightly. And then another thought crossed her mind and she gave a small frown. "You aren't backing out, are you?" she asked worriedly.

"Of course not!" Kellen insisted immediately. "Besides that I made a promise, this is going to be fun!" He ran his hand through his hair pausing for just a moment on the grey patch, as he often did when he was thinking. "I just mean we need to be careful. Early morning probably would be best, you're right. Just as the sun's coming up I would imagine."

She relaxed a little but didn't want him to do it because he felt obligated. "You know you don't have to do it if you don't want to, right?" she said. There was no way she'd do it without him, but she didn't want to make him if he really wanted to back out. "Don't do it just because you promised. You know I won't hold you to it."

"I want to do it," Kellen reassured her. He wasn't lying; since he'd remembered his promise at the beginning of the term, he'd really been looking forward to it. He was wary, of course, of getting into trouble (especially with all the Ministry folks around), but that didn't outweigh his desire to do it. Besides, spending time plotting and then pranking with Allegra was something to look forward to, too.

"Okay," she said softly, smling a bit at his words. "So we do it in the early morning, bubble charms and color changing. Besides picking a day, is there anything else we're forgetting?" she asked.

"Umm....wear black and try not to get caught?" Kellen suggested, though he couldn't really think of anything else. "And keep it all a secret, I suppose. But we should get on this soon, yeah? Before we lose our nerve."

"Tomorrow?" she asked tentatively while trying to think if she even owned anything black besides her school clothes. Drew probably had a sweatshirt she could borrow, but then she'd have to tell him why she wanted to wear it.

Kellen thought briefly about tomorrow--classes started later for sevenths than most other years tomorrow, which pretty well made it a perfect chance for them. "Tomorrow it is, then," Kellen said, mentally planning again. "Oi, what time?"

"Just before dawn?" Allegra suggested. "If..." and she knew this was a big if, "If the traps in the boys dorm aren't set, I can come get you. Or we could just meet down in the common room."

"I'm not sure that would work," Kellen said honestly. "I can disable most of them, right, but some of them only temporarily. I haven't worked out how to permanently turn off a couple of them yet. Maybe for the sake of you not getting blue-painted, we should just meet in the common room."

"That would probably blow our cover," Allegra said, wrinkling her nose at the idea. "We meet in the common room at dawn, set to go. Anything else?" she asked. She'd have to figure out how to get that sweatshirt from Drew somehow.

"Nothing that I can think of," Kellen said, grinning once again. This was going to be fun! "But...you've got to think...last chance to back out! You sure you want to break rules and cause general havoc and mischief?"

"I've been making Drew live up to my side of the Thornton name for so long, it's probably about time I started living up to his side, right?" she asked with a sheepish little smile. She had one more question and was afraid it was going to be a doozy of a dorky one. "Except... we are going to clean it up at the end of the day, right?"

Kellen tried hard to keep in a laugh at Allegra's comment, but his face showed it behind his grin. "Well, who knows? Maybe the professors will love us and ask that we leave it that way! Random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty, and all that. But, yes, we'll clean it up. Another promise. ... Unless they tell us not to."

"Unless they tell us not to," Allegra agreed, finding the idea as funny as it was improbable. "And I'm holding you to that promise even if you don't want to."
She gave a small sigh and looked out across the lake. She wasn't sure what else there was to say and didn't really want to leave, but didn't really bother him either. She tossed another stone into the water, not even trying to make it skip this time.
