Michalis y on his bed, sleeping peacefully as his soft, warm, and cozy covers enveloped him.

  Yet, Michalis' sleep was anything but peaceful, as he was having a rather strange and vivid romantic dream.

  In the dream, he and his crush, Cir, were on a date – an adult-like affair that seemed peculiar given their young ages of 11 and 12 respectively.

  As the date progressed, the weather suddenly took an ued turn - it began to snow.

  Michalis found this development particurly uling, sg his fa disfort, not enjoying the cold feeling of the snowfkes on his skin.

  Just whehought the date couldn't get any weirder, a horrifying sight unfolded before him.

  A massive, demonic i resembling his mischievous sister, Vasiliki, came crashing down from the sky, wreaking havod destru in its path.

  "Huff, huff," Michalis heaved, cold sweat dripping from his face as he awoke with a start.

  "What a horrible nightmare. She wouldn't even give me a break in my dreams," he muttered, shaking his head in frustration.

  Click !!

  Suddenly the sound of the house entrance opening suddenly drew Michalis' attention.

  ‘Oh, that must be Draii ing to wake us up,’ he thought, preparing to get out of bed.

  As he was about to get up, Michalis noticed some strange.

  Straining his ears, he listened more closely, and realized that the footsteps were too light, almost as if someone was trying to sneak in.

  Michalis khis pattern well – and a sudden shiver ran down from tip of his ears, all the way down to his furry tail.

  ‘That's not how Draii walks. He wouldn't sneak arouher, and there is only one person I know that would purposely do such a sneaky thing, and that person is Vasiliki,’ he reasoned.

  Memories of all the pranks Vasiliki had pyed on him over the years fshed through his mind.

  "So, she's here to mess with us huh. Judging from her footsteps, she hasn’t decided who to go after first. But my guess is that, she will be going after Vasileios first, then probably Nikoos before me," he deduced, his mind rag.

  Michalis mind quickly begun formuting a pn to turuation to his advantage. "How I use this against her?" he pondered, a devious grin spreading across his face.

  ………………………………………………………………………………………….

  Meanwhile, Vasiliki quietly slipped through the front door, stifling a gleeful giggle.

  She believed that her three brothers were still fast asleep, unaware of the impending chaos she had in store for them.

  Pausing for a moment, she let her eyes adjust to the room as she surveyed the familiar surroundings.

  "Time to have some fun," she whispered to herself, rubbing her hands together with excitement.

  Vasiliki made her the creaky staircase, carefully pg each foot to avoid making too muoise.

  She khe yout of their home like the back of her hand, so navigating the shadowy halls posed no challenge.

  ‘Who should be my main target?’ she thought, sidering her options.

  ‘Waking one of them up would likely wake the others too, so it's best to set up something outside the doors of the other two while I deal with my main target.’ she pondered. With that pn in mind, Vasiliki got to work.

  She banced a freezing bucket of water from the bathroom above Nikoos' door and did the same on Michalis' door.

  It wasn't the most inal prank, but it would serve its purpose.

  ‘Ah my dear Vasileios, you will have to be the main course today,’ Vasiliki thought, a mischievous grin spreading across her face as she approached the room.

  Michalis, meanwhile, had been carefully Vasiliki's movements through the opening on his door.

  Vasiliki had to open each of their doors slightly to bahe bucket unaware that he was already onto her.

  After for a while, he had a pretty good idea of what she to, and he wasn't about to let her have her way.

  "Alright, Vasiliki, let's see how you like a taste of your own medie," he whispered, quietly removing the bucket pced on his door.

  As Vasiliki approached Vasileios' room, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.

  She khat he was a heavy sleeper, and she was fident that her prank would definitely catch him off guard.

  Just as she was about to reach for the doorknob, a sudden noise from behind her made her freeze iracks.

  ‘Shit, damn floor’ Michalis thought, quickly hiding ihroom.

  He wasn’t really worried, if there was anything he was fident about, it was his stealth skills.

  Looking behind her for a bit, Vasiliki didn’t see anything wrong, so she tinued with her pn.

  Pushing open Vasileios' slightly ajar door, Vasiliki peeked inside.

  There he was, sprawled out on the bed, sn softly.

  A sly grin spread across her face as she quietly approached his slumbering form. Reag into her pocket, she extracted a small, feathery object - a turkey feather, to be exact.

  Carefully, she began to lightly tickle the tip of Vasileios' ifling a giggle as he sched up his fa response.

  "Ugh, stupid mosquito," Vasileios muttered groggily, swatting at the air, his ears cutely twitg in response.

  Vasiliki quickly pulled the feather away, watg with glee as his hand fell back down to the bed.

  She repeated the process, gradually increasing the iy of the tig, until Vasileios' eyes suddenly shot open.

  "Wha-what?! Who's there?" he excimed, jolting upright.

  Vasiliki darted behind the door frame, biting her lip to keep from bursting out ughing.

  Vasileios' head swiveled around, his eyes narrowed as he sed the room suspiciously.

  "I know someone is here," he growled, slowly getting to his feet.

  He believed the culprit to be either Michalis or Nikoos.

  "e out and face me like a - Achoo!" His menag tone was interrupted by a sudden sneeze, much to Vasiliki's amusement.

  Seizing the opportunity, she emerged from her hiding spot and shouted, "Boo!" Vasileios yelped in surprise, stumbling backwards and tripping over his ow onto the bed.

  Vasiliki erupted into a fit of giggles, delighted by his rea.

  "Vasiliki, you little - ! I'm going to kill you!" Vasileios excimed, his face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and annoyanbsp;

  "Catch me if you !" Vasiliki teased, egging him to follow, before darting out of the room and down the hall towards the staircase.

  As Vasiliki raced down the hallway, she could hear Vasileios' angry fits e behind her, spurring her on.

  As pnned, Nikoos jolted awake due to the otion and rushed out of his room to find out what was happening.

  As soon as he opened his door, he was greeted by a cold bucket of water.

  Nikoos yelped in surprise, his eyes widening as the icy liquid drenched him from head to toe.

  "What in the bzes?" he sputtered, shivering from the ued chill.

  Vasiliki's ughter echoed through the hallway as things were going as pnned.

  Just as she was about to reach the stairway, she noticed a faint glimmer on the floor.

  Slowing her pace, she cautiously stepped forward, her eyes quickly sing the area.

  Suddenly, a tripwire became visible, expertly pced betweehroom door and the wall just before Michalis room.

  Vasiliki's eyes widened as she realized that someone had set a trap for her.

  ‘Fufufu, this is likely Michalis' handiwork. So he was awake’ she thought.

  Carefully, she stepped over the wire, silently gratuting her brother on his cleverness.

  It would have worked in the past, but sihey begun dungeon diving, Vasiliki made it a habit of always her surroundings.

  Draco had warned her repeatedly that as a ranged fighter, she would almost always be the first target during an attack.

  Just as she was about to tinue her escape, a loud creak echoed through the hallway.

  Vasileios, who had been closing in on her, had stepped on a loose floorboard, betraying his position.

  He had noticed that she was distracted, so he wao reduce the distaween them sneakily.

  Vasiliki grinned mischievously and turo face him.

  "ry, Vasileios, but yoing to have to do better than that!" she taunted, her voice filled with a pyful challenge.

  Determined not to let her get away, Vasileios lunged forward, only to find his feet got tangled up in something.

  With a startled yelp, he tumbled forward, his arms filing as he lost his banbsp;

  Vasiliki couldn't help but burst into ughter at the sight of her brother’s misfortune.

  As Vasileios struggled tain his footing, Vasiliki looked up and noticed another traption that seemed ected to a bucket of cold water, likely the ohat she had pichalis door earlier, its tents sloshing menagly.

  Reizing it as Michalis' touch, she quickly deduced that the bucket was also meant for her.

  Gng back at Vasileios, who was still entangled in the first tripwire, she devised a pn.

  "Oh my, Vasileios, it seems you've fallen into a trap!" Vasiliki excimed, feigning .

  "Let me help you with that." She stepped closer, pretending to offer assistance, but as she did, she subtly reached up and pulled the rope that held the bucket in pce.

  But nothing happehe wire had been a distra and wasn’t actually ected to anything.

  Suddenly the bucket came crashing down directly on Vasiliki, dreng her instead of the flustered Vasileios with a torrent of icy water.

  Vasiliki burst into ughter, uo tain her amusement at the sight of her own predit.

  "Michalis, you've really outdone yourself this time!" she called out, knowing full well that he was likely watg the se unfold from a safe distance.
