Pranks

Mark and Brian were huddled in the far corner of their barrack room, just out of sight of the door.

"Shh, you'll wake up Joe." Mark said, elbowing his twin in the side.

Brian stifled his snickers as best he could. his eyes darting back to the bucket of water that was perched precariously on top of the door. Mark had thought that this prank was a little to unsophisticated for them, but Brian had insisted. "It's a classic," he said as he filled the bucket. They knew that Steve would be back soon.

"Shh," Mark said again as they heard the faint footfalls in the corridor. They heard the creak of the door being opened and the clatter and splash as the bucket hit the ground. The yell of surprise however did not sound like Steve.

Brian peeked around he bed and saw a very wet Commander Cole.

David was brushing his wet hair out of his eyes and looking around the room, his gaze finally fell on Brian and Mark.

"Uh oh," Mark said.

"Uh oh is right," David said, advancing on the two soldiers.
