Kellen scrunched up his nose in disagreement. He didn't like that idea...sure, it wasn't spontaneous like the toilet paper had been, but at least they kept up the excitement that the risk involved--if there was no risk, it lost a lot of its fun.
"Do we have to?" he asked in a whingy voice.

"I warned you I was about to be dorky!" Allegra told him. "I'm sorry, but it's a very hard habit to break! No, we don't have to tell her, but if we get in trouble my next un-dorky act will be to pin it all on you, okay?" she asked innocently as if this would be most agreeable.

"Nuh uh, shifting blame and ratting someone out is very dorky," Kellen insisted. But he relented a little; "I just don't want anybody to know beforehand, you know?" He gave an overdramtic sigh. "But, I guess, if you don't want to get into trouble....it is my idea, after all. I'll take what's due."

"Shifting blame and ratting on people is dorky?" Allegra asked, suddenly getting very serious. "You know that makes the Slytherins the dorky house and not us, right?" This was very big news, though she doubted she'd be sharing it with anyone outside of Ravenclaw.
"No... We won't tell anyone beforehand," she sighed heavily, acting as if it were a huge imposition. She softened her attitude and smiled. "And no, I wouldn't make you take all the blame if we did get in trouble."

Kellen gave a small smile to match Allegra's. "Sounds like we've got a plan, then. Well, for when you get your liscense. Any idea when that might be?"
Before waiting for an answer, Kellen went on immediately: "And of course Slytherins are dorky. They just don't admit it like we do."

"Well, I had originally planned for spring break, but since the time frame is all whipperjawed here, I think it's already passed," Allegra answered thoughtfully. "So I think I may have to wait for summer."

"Summer!" It seemed like so far away when Kellen considered when this conversation had begun: they were just getting back to school for the semester. Of course, by this point, summer wasn't so far away anymore. "Well, I guess that's not so far away. We might have to hold off the prank until the beginning of next year, though. To make sure everybody sees it.

Allegra gave a frustrated sigh, understanding exactly what Kellen had been thinking. But the plan sounded good and she couldn't dwell on the disappointment for long. "A welcome back to school thing! I love it!" she cried out.

"It'd be brilliant. We'll wait a couple of days to make sure any new students don't think it's supposed to be that way when we change it, so then it'll really be a surprise!" Kellen exclaimed. The excitement was starting to come back to him. "The hard part will be not telling anyone."
Of course, not too long after this conversation (or perhaps before it. Who knows.), Kellen would learn/had learned that keeping secrets from his housemates didn't usually have the best results. Especially when it came to changing the colour of things. Still, he didn't think about that now.

No, the color realization would have been afterwards. Allegra was sure of it. Had it been before this, there would have been that awful awkwardness that had settled between the two Head Students.
Awkward... they would have no clue what awkwardness really was until they got to COMC...
"No one else? Just us," Allegra sighed, secretly pleased to share it with him. Had she known about the bald head coloring scheme, she would have to say that this was totally different.

Allegra was right, of course. This conversation was nice; it was the last bastion they had of non-awkwardness left, but it would be over soon too. Which was too bad, because Kellen was tired of typing the word 'awkward'.
"Just us. On my honour," Kellen promised, putting his hand over his heart. "I suppose we should shake on it, yeah?" he added, offering his hand.

Allegra took his offered hand and shook it firmly, sealing the deal. She settled back into the couch again and looked up at their toilet paper masterpiece.
"So... how long do we keep it up for?" she asked, admiring the job they had done.

Kellen sat down next to her, admiring the work. "Well, at least long enough for somebody else to notice it," he said reasonably. "Otherwise, what's the point, really? All these fantastic decorations and no one else to appreciate them?"

"We're appreciating them," Allegra told him with a wide grin. "But yeah, I suppose it's really no use doing it unless we share our work with the general viewing public, right?" They really had done quite a job even with the parts that had ended up being pulled down. Allegra pulled a stray piece off of her shoulder and put it on Kellen's head. "Seriously, I don't think even Raynor would get too mad. She'd make us clean it up of course, but that's no big deal."

"Naw, there's nothing to get mad about," Kellen was sure. He pulled the stray piece of toilet paper off his head, held it up in front of them and looked at it, as though it were some great symbolic thing. "Besides, this place needed a little redecorating."
