Ignis grumbles meaningless nonsense and closes his eyes. Maybe if he slept he wouldn't cause anymore trouble.

When he opened his eyes again, he would find that Melody was cuddled up against him, her head beneath his chin.

Remembering Anubis' warning, Ignis looked around carefully for any sign of a trick or prank, even looking himself over as best he could.

He would find that there was a string attached to his tail which somehow led all the way up to a bucket of water that she managed to set on top of the ceiling fan. If he moved at all it would fall on both of them.

Thinking for a moment, Ignis finally decided to carefully breath fire until he had burned through the string tied to his tail. It was slightly uncomfortable, breathing fire on his tail, but when it was over he laid his head back down.

Melody purred in her sleep as the fire warmed her up but she didn't wake, rather she just snuggled closer to him.

He'd wait until she woke up, then.. He sighed. He couldn't even jump away fast to make her think the bucket would get just her. This wasn't much fun.

The bucket remained balance precariously on the ceiling fan while the shiny zangoose cuddled into Ignis.

Even if he couldn't prank back, he could at least enjoy her lying beside him. It was one thing he missed about being in a pack.

Eventually she woke up and looked at him, "Did you like my surprise?" she asked with a grin.

<Oh yes, waking up to you next to me again was nice. Your fur's long and soft, not like mine.>

She blushed then kissed his cheek, "Um... You knew what I meant," she pointed to the ceiling fan, "You're just glad that it didn't fall in your sleep.

He looks up.

<Oh, that. I guess so.>

She stood up and picked up the burnt end of the string, took a few steps away, then pulled it, dumping the bucket over Ignis.

(if it's an even number it hits, an odd number he can dodge it )

He represses a growl and the urge to get her back.

<Thanks.>

She went back towards him and hugged him and kissed his cheek. The wetness didn't seem to bother her.

<Joke's on you, you smell like wet dog now and it's your fault.>

"I don't care. It dumped all over you," she licked his ears playfully.

<I needed the bath anyway.> He tries to joke, but his heart isn't in it. This wasn't fun, not being able to think of pranks and use them...

<And that's what you get for scaring me...> she whispered and kissed his lips just as Archyr returned with Rome.
